STOCKS BACK
 ON RECOVERY
 LEDGE TODAY
Shares Take Advance After Some Hit New Lows
 for Long Period

NEW YORK, April l. - Stocks climbed back on the recovery ledge today with gains of one to three points generally predominating and a few issues much more after hit ting five years lows yesterday.
 The ascent was rather labored with the ticker frequently notion less.
 Transfers were around 900,O00 shares.
 A boom on the Paris Bourse and inspired rumors of an Anglo-Italio agreement which lessen the danger of European wars helped to prop domestic lists on the New York Stock Exchange.
 Brokers however said the days support appeared to have been pro- vided by bargain hunters and traders who believe the reversal of the lengthy down trend is over due to demands of steels, coppers, motors and farm implements.
 Wall Street attributed the steady fall heretofore to Washington over uncertainties and disappointing bus mess news.

ALASKA TO OBSERVE SECOND
 MAY DAY CHILD HEALTH DAY

The following publicity bulletin has been sent to the press of Alaska by the Territorial department Of health of Juneau:
 This is Alaskas second annual celebration of May Day-Child Health Day By the act of Congress Of May Is. 1928, the President is authorized and requested to pro- claim annually May 1st as National Child Health Day. Each such yearly proclamation of the U. S. President is in reality an appeal to each organ ized community to mobilize all local resources for the conservation and ! improvement of child health.
 This May Day has been put on the calendar as a red letter day to focus tae attention Of the large number ol people upon things which go on all through the year but remain un- noticed. It can really be called a day for balancing the ledger be- tween the status of community health on one side, and the stock taking of facilities and resources for the promotion of health on the other side of the ledger This latter must include phases of life as they affect the child It must include safe water and safe milk supply facilities for health supervision of young children in the homes and older children in the schools.
 However. achievements and ae- complishments of organized public health depend very much on the in telligent cooperation of the indiY- iduals who constitute the public. We cannot too strongly stress the fact, that eventually improved health for mother and child must be made not only a community, but a personal responsibility Because Of our strong belief that this is the es- sential prerequisite for the lasting effects of any applied health work, many of our efforts all through the year ,as we'll as during May Day observances are along these lines.
 In formulating our program for last years celebration, we had the privilege of the fullest cooperation of both the Territorial and the Fed eral school teachers.
 This year, we have some adyan- tages over last year. We have many suggestions that came back with the May Day reports, to guide Us in our work in certain places, and above all, we have the assurance from our returned reports of To al appreciation for the value of the health work by a number of people who for a long time tried to do soI single handed
 None of us can do very much all alone. We are therefore asking you to help to comply with the Presi- dents proclamation for a joint com muntty effort to make May Lay ac- complishments lead to permanent gains in child health
