TWO THOUSAND
CHILDREN ARE
NOW EXAMINED
Children Getting Ready For
School Tested By The Health
Conference On Wheels
CONFERENCES ARE HELD
IN EACH OF COUNTIES

Over 1900 youngsters babies
in arms to five and six year Odds get
ting ready for admission to school
were examined at the health-cOnfer-
ence-on-wheels held in connection with
the summer tour of the Health Trail
er of the Bureau of Child Hygiene.
The Trailer started out for the sea-
son early in May and remained in the
field until after Labor Day, visiting
sections not ordinarily reached by the
child health conferences held regular
ly throughout the year.
Twelve counties were visited-Saint
Mary's, Charles, Prince Georges, Cal
vert, Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne's, Tai
bot, Caroline, Worcester, Somerset and
Montgomery, in the order named.
Stops were made at nearly 200 places
and over 1000 miles were travelled.
One or more clinics were held at each
place for the examination of babies
and young children not under medical
care, and for conferences with the
mothers about the health needs of the
youngsters. Arrangements in each
county were under the direction of the
County Health Officer.
The Trailer is fitted with all the
equipment usually found in a chill
dren's clinic. It is divided into two
compartments, one for the general
physical examinations and the other
for the dental services. The staff
included a doctor, a dentist, public
health nurse and the driver of the can
who had charge of the health movies
held in the evenings.
About 100 of the children had at
tended previous clinics. The exper-
fence was a new one for all the rest.
OF the latter, 1,O35 were white and
1,7S1 were colored; 1877 of the white
children and 345 of the colored were
babies under year old; the rest in
each group ranged from one to six
years old. The older children-344
white and 451 colored- examined
in preparation for admission to school.
Children in need of corrective care
were referred to their own physicians.
The dental services were very pop
ular with the youngsters and were
accepted more or less in the nature
of an interesting adventure. Over
1900 had their first experience in a
dental chair; 635 needed extractions or
corrective dental treatments; the SER
vices were completed for $50.
A check up of the findings shows
that 261 of the children, lit white
and LA colored, had not been vaccin-
ated against smallpox. Parents who
had neglected to have these things
done were urged to have them at
tended to promptly. They were also
reminded that the children would have
to be vaccinated against smallpox be-
fore they could be received at any pub
lie school in the State.
The Health Trailer conferences sup
plemented the child health conferences
held throughout the rest of the State
during the summer. Conferences for
the examination of children not un-
der regular medical care are held in
each county all the year round. In
formation in regard to the fall and
winter schedules can be obtained from
the County Health Officer or public
health nurse.

MORE EXPANSION IN
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

Detroit-Counting heavily up
on a further expansion of con-
sumner demand during the next 8
weeks the manufacturing divi-
sion of the motorcar industry has
arranged another heavy produc-
ton schedule for the current
month. The schedules have been
based, tentatively, on an output
volume of 100000 passenger cars
and trucks.
If these schedules are carried
out the merchandising division
probably will find it's stock of
more than half a million new
cars and trucks only moderately
reduced. By all present indica-
tons retail demand for new
units should continue to move
upward for several weeks during
this second buying period" of
the current model season, but
the present level of production is
close to "boom" size in the opin-
ion of authoritative trade observ-
ers.
