the examination and in some schools
special arrangements are made for
them to be present. Largely through
the interet Of the parent-teacher as
sociations, and the service clubs, and
through the follow-up work Of the
county nurses, greater effort is made
each year to have unfavorable condi-
tions attended to, promptly.
Because good or faulty nutrition
has such an important part in keep
ing a child physically fit, the parent
teacher. associations are greatly in
terested, also, in the nutritional advice
offered in many of the schools, in con-
nection with the school lunches, and
the school cafeterias. This is one of
the newer features of the health SER
vices and like all the rest is carried
on jointly by the school authorities
and the health department.
"These are only part Of the health
services in the schools. Any account

exposed to any Of the catching di-
seases--scarlet fever, measles, mumps,
chicken-pox, diphtheria, or any of the
rest-by the health officer or public
health nurse, are very important
part Of the services. Inspections are
made daily, if necessary, to prevent
the spread of such diseases.

COLUMN
Baltimore, Md.
October "a, 1889


Worcester Democrat,
Pocomoke, Maryland.
Dear Prof. Clarke:
May I take the liberty Of recalling
communication to the Democrat
of April 18th 1892, which I find in
INV files. It was special plea for
the Identification Of the roadways
of Worcester County and the Shore,
signed by myself.
After a second trip to the Pacific
coast by motor, I realize what a
wealth of material the Shore has in
it's most beautiful evergreens, the
pines of the peninsula. With plan
ned planting, with some color to en-
phasize the background, the hundreds
of miles of the Shore will become
famous. Evergreen boulevards lead
ing down to bay and ocean shores will
rival, for sheer beauty and restfulness,
almost any of natures gifts to man.
But I must stop lest be tempted to
break into ecstatic rapture in contenl-
plation of such possibilities as pres
ented by the Evergreen Boulevards
of The Shore of Plenty and Delight.
Editor "Chirps"; No more vacant
columns, please. Turn the pen to the
delights of the Eastern Shore; its
fruits, it's flowers, its fish, it's bowers
and entwining all its Evergreen
highways.
Ever yours for the Evergreen Shore,
Kingman A. Handy

nancial matters from Secretary
Morgenthau, of the treasury. Mr.. Ec-
cles may be regarded I believe, as
one of the most visionary of all Of

by the government as the means of
lifting the country out Of the de-
preston by its own bootstraps.
It is on this public debt matter
that attention is likely to center

Speech Sought to Court
Favor with Retailers

There is another reason, apparent
to some Observers, why the speech
that sought to court favor with the
retail dealers should be thought of
In terms Of a year hence. 1t will be
remembered that the annual meet
ing Of the Chamber of Commerce Of
the United States was held here
only two weeks in advance of the
speech which is the subject of so
much discussion. Now, never
nave thought that the Chamber Of

uAsHINGTON.-As the days go
- y appears more and more that
PRESIDENT Roosevelt's speech before
. American Retail federation
ssr. NAV %, amounts to a declar-
..,on Of greatest political import
.nce. It may be. indeed, that the
chief Executives announcements
s.s,re the retail merchants that
rieht win eventuate as the corner
. .soae Of his political philosophy for
he campaign Of 1910.
In Mr.. Roosevett's speech before
+he retail businessmen, it will be re-
called upon examination that he re-
..ated virtually all Of the New Deal
,heories and convictions. That was
,,rnrtant. But more important
MS the emphasis with which he Of
sersd in new language, the general
assertion that there will be no back
tracking. More important to the
country. as q whole, was his de-
tsrmined adherence to the principle
Of virtually unlimited government
uending, because his renewed in
,iAence in that direction came at
. time when there is considerable
fear that the country faces further
initiation Of its currency.
There seems to be quite a gen.
eral agreement that the retail
speech should be examined In the
Nsht Of 1910. AS far as I can learn,
shat is the view taken by New Deal
ers. by old line Democrats, who are
snsagonistic to spending policies Of
the last five years, and by cautious
Republican observers who are anx-
iously looking for signs indicating
whether Mr.. Roosevelt, himself, will
seek q third term in the office Of
President. While the views of the
three segments converge, their rea-
sons differ. The New Dealers who
want Mr.. Roosevelt to run for a
third term desire to consider the
speech as q preliminary statement,
charting of the future course: the
old line Democrats who desire to
get the party back in Democratic
hands, rather than in the hands Of
the radical wing, entertain fears
which force consideration Of 1910,
and the Republicans secretly are
hoping that Mr.. Roosevelt will try
to break the third term precedent.

Harrison Tells President
Tax Revision is Necessary

No further review of that coafer-
ence is necessary than to relate how
Mr.. Harrison told the President
there must be tax revision in order
to lift and readjust some of the
unfair taxes on business, and he
said there would be tax legislation
in this session of congress. Chair
man Doughton appeared to join in
rather timidly, but believe 1t is
not going to be important whether
the Roughton heart is with Harri-
son or with Roosevelt. The fighting
Pat HARRISON is going to obtain
some tax legislation if it is possible,
and Mr.. Roosevelt will have an op-
portunity to veto the bill if he likes.
So, in his speech, MIR. Roosevelt
took sideswipe at the proponents
of tax changes. Their reasons for
demanding tax revision, you see,
are based upon belief that BUSH
ness will not go ahead until govern
ment gives more consideration to
the burden that is on business. Sem
ator Ha ris IN, along with many
other old line Democrats, feels that
business can not re-employ workers
as long as taxes are unevenly dis
tributed. That is to say, the Mis-
sissippi senator is seeking ways by
which busin~s will take on work.
ers and the federal treasury will be
free from the enormous appropria-
tons for relief spending. &
With reference to the Harrison
position, however, it should be said
here that congress has shown doz-
en- yellow streaks about cutting down
in spending. It started out talking
economy in a big way. 1t acted,

SmackS Much of Old

the simple expedient of supporting
it.
But the recent chamber meeting
took no notice of Mr.. Roosevelt be-
yond damning his program and pol
icies lock, stock and barrel. The
President, it seems, took advantage
of the opportunity to tell the retail
ers about his innermost thoughts as
an offset to the walls Of poison scat
tered about by the big business rep
resentatives. He reasserted his
views on every point to which the
chamber had taken opposition and
about which there had been fight
ing speeches made. I suppose If
ones sense of humor could be suf-
ficiently detached from the gravity
of the situation, they could describe
the circumstance as similar to two
small boys who were sticking ont
their tongues at each other as proof
of their anger. ...
A third factor might be brought
into the picture. You viii recall
that it was only a week or so prior
to Mr.. Rossevelt's speech that he
spent an afternoon in conference
with some of the legislative leaders.
Among them was Senator Pat Har-
rison, the old-line Mississippi Demo-
crat, who occupies the post of chair
man Of the powerful senate COM
mittee on finance. That is the
committee which handles tax legis-
lation in the senate. Included in the
conference also was Chairman
Doughton, of the house committee
on ways and means, also tax COM
mittee.

Determined Business Profits
Must Be Held to Minimum

When Mr.. Roosevelt said in his
speech, therefore, that he would de-
mand only that the present distri-
button of tax levies and rates should
remain the same, he was answer
ing Senator Harrison's group. In
other words, the President has bud
ged from the position and view
point he long has held only to the
extent that he now says he will
not bubble about details; he wants
corporations to bear as much tax
as heretofore and he will insist upon
it. He is determined that business
profits must be held to the mini
mum and there are indications that
he will carry such a fight ITO the

and the over regulation to which so

Improved Tobacco Prices
Looked For In This Belt
Averages in Georgia Not Expected To Obtain
Here, Though Level Will Be Under Last Year;
Crop Here Is Far Superior.

The last report received from Lake
City, Florida, one of the two Florida
markets. states that common grades
are three to five dollars cheaper than
last year and tobacco selling over
eighteen dollars is seven to ten dol
lars cheaper.
Comparing the crop in Georgia and
Florida to North Carolina tobacco
and particularly that in the Middle
Belt Henderson and other Middle
Belt markets should not drop as
much as these first prices.
Local estimates from tobaccOniStS,
and from the office of the supervisor,
place the poundage Of the Hender-
son tobacco market for this years
sales at not under 27 million pounds,
or an increase of approximately
seven and one quarter million pounds
over last year. Although the large
crop planted this year will lower
prices somewhat, the Henderson crop
is so far superior to last years that
prices should be satisfactory, and all
concerned are most optimistic over
prospects for a good year.
