as much to promote the health of
the present generation as public
hygiene measures.
The standards to determine the
health Of an infant and child at
different ages is one feature of
the educational program this year.
The proportions of the body of
an infant at the age when it is just
beginning to stand and walk are
different from those of the child
and adult. The trunk and head
are relatively large, the extremi-
ties relatively short. The legs and
arms grow much faster than tire
rest Of the body. The length of
the newborn baby's legs. from the
crest Of the hipbone to the sole of
the feet is 80 per cent Of the entire
bodily length. That Of a child of
16 is 90 per cent
Points TO Notice
The points to notice about the
baby Of one or two years are,
first, the shape and form Of the
head II should be well rounded
with plenty of space above the
eyes, and the jaws wide to prevent
tooth crowding.
The neck should be free Of en-
larged glands.
The chest should be broad and
deep, the abdomen fat.
The skin should be everywhere
clear.
The arms are normally plump,
out not excessively fat. The same
thing is true Of the legs. The
muscles Of arms and legs should
be firm.
The legs should be straight, not
bowed, and the lower limbs strong
and well-proportioned.
For the child of about eight or
10 it is a sign of good health for
the height and weight to be close
to the average for the age
A luxurious head of hair is q
sign Of health.
The shoulders should be square,
the back fiat at this age (later the
normal curves begin to appear,
the spine straight, the muscles
firm and the trunk well proper
toned. The legs should be straight
and not bowed, and the knees
should touch without humping
when the child is standing at at
tention. The feet now should be
well arched
These general standards can be
determined by any parents with
out recourse to measurements and
without any special medical train
ing. II the child does not conform
to them reasonably closely it
should be an indication for medi-
cal consultation to see if there is
any nutritional condition or bone
condition which would account for
the lack Of bodily symmetry.
Children with this standard of
bodily build may be expected TO
be normally active, to eat and
sleep well, to begin to walk and
talk at the regular ages.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
L. Z. B.: When a person has too
much acid should he use only aka
line food? What foods contain
alkaline? Would bicarbonate Of
soda change the acid?
Answer: l cannot tell from your
question whether you are refer
ring to too much acid in the stom-
ach or too much acid in the sys-
TEN. People often conclude they
have too much acid in the system
without any evidence. 1t is very
rare to have too much acid in the
system. Fruits and vegetables
give an alkaline reaction and it
certainly will not hurt you to eat
plenty Of them. Acid in the stom-
ach can be helped with bicarbo-
nate Of soda. Foods good for acid
in the stomach are those that alb
sorb the acid like cream and lean
meats,

Carpenter Work Due
To Labor Shortage

Undismayed by civilian short
age, Mrs. Rose Roberts decided
to meet unusual times with un-
usual methods and became her
own carpenter when she moved
from her rear rent house into
her front home on Lindberg Av-
,enue recently. She wanted extra
cabinets and a window in the
kitchen. so she got out hammer
and nails and set to work.
When the job was at last com
pleted to her satisfaction. Mrs.
Roberts decided she would find
painting easy in comparison. anf
proceeded to refinish the entire
inside of her home which, ac-
cording to reports of those who
have seen it, is a No. l job.

MOSES BROWN IS
CHARGED Theft
COUNTY FUNDS
Former Clerk OF
Supervisors Said
To Have aiken
S2,432.7O

Charged with misrepresentation
of county funds totaling $2.432.7O
Moses Brown. former clerk of
Pinal county board of supervisors
vas arrested yesterday afternoon
by sheriff's deputies and ar
raigned in Florence before Justice
Of the Peace Ed Devine.
Released under bond of S25. 90.
Brown will. it is believed. be
given an early trial in the super
ior court. Bondsmen were George
Gallagher and Carl Lynch.
Discovery of the shortage was
made several weeks ago by Nor
man Freeman, present clerk of
the board of supervisors who sue
ceeded Brown to that post May
IL, 1912. Following conference
between Freeman and members
Of the board of supervisors state
auditor c. V. Hill was called in
to make a thorough audit of sup
ervisor's accounts during Browns
tenure as clerk of the board.
The alledged shortage occurred
in funds received from the sale
of lands taken over by the county
in tax sales and the report of
auditor Hill submitted last Sat
turday charges shortage of
$2,694.92 as compared with the
figures of the county treasurer
amounting to $2,432.70.
Brown, according to the audi
tors report, admitted a shortage
"of about $4,000" to the state
auditor in the presence of Free
man soon after the state audit be-
gan and is said to have aided
the auditor and Freeman in ira
cling many of the transactions
where shortages are alledged to
have occurred.
Brown was bonded for $4,000
and formal request for this sum
has been made by the board of
super AioOi % upOll lhC OOiuAA6
company. Browns bond had been
reduced from $4,000, the "a
mount for which clerks of the
board of supervisors had previ-
ously been bonded, prior to jan
uary 1st, 1941.
The auditors examination, ac-
oord;p0 IN hic rapnrf cYthniffod
to Governor Osborn, covered the
period between March 4th, 1888
and May II, 1912 which coin
cides with the tenure of Brown as
clerk of the board of supervisors.
Penalty for misappropriation of
public funds as provided by law
is from one to ten years incar-
ceration in the state penitentiary.

1t. General Dewitt
Recalls Permission
Jap Cotton Picking

Lieutenant General ]. II De
Witt withdrew permission Satur
day for the use of persons of Jap
anese ancestry for harvesting OF
long staple cotton in Arizona
Notwithstanding the cotton area
is within prohibited military
zone. the War Department nearly
two months ago made IL possible
to use the evacuees outside their
Relocation Centers.
The number OF volunteer work
ers. however. failed to meet the
expectations of the growers. Re
suits obtained were not sufficient
to warrant the continuance of
troops as guards for exterior
boundaries OF the cotton areas.
Hence General DeWitt's decision
10 withdraw the troops for other
services.
Picking began in Pinal and
Maricopa counties September 81.
1912 The number of evacuees
volunteering varied from day to
day. On the first day 100. On
October 13. 1912. 2S3 were work
ing. Two weeks later 100
Survey OF the number OF elm
ployables available at the ella
River Relocation Center revealed
that the Center itself rquird more
than 1900 workers and that there
were only 3l1 other employables.
This indicated that while the
number of residents volunteering
was small. IL represented high
percentage of those available.
