From The State
Health Officer

Some nights ago a young mother
was observed in a motion picture
theatre at thel ate show with a
wide awake baby of no more than
four months on her lap. Much adj
verse comment was overhead, and
rightly so. However, many parents
are equally negligent in that they
allow children to determine their
own rest hours, with the result that
sufficient sleep and relaxation are
not obtained.
Consistent lack of adequate sleep
for anyone is devitalizing and in
vites infections of various kinds due
to lack of bodily resistance. The
adult has only himself to blame if
he sleep-strves himself. On the
cher hand, parents have no right to
permit their children to handicap
their health and vigor this way.
The radio, the movies, books. maya
zines, social activities anything
that is allowed to take up too much
time in the evenings-are robbing
thousands of school children of
their nightly-needed sleep.
Parents who have the best in
terests of their children at heart
will make certain that, no matter
how vocal or violent the protest,
their children regularly obtain the
eight or nine hours of sleep so nee

As The Years Go BY,

In our youth we count the years

But, alas, as time goes by we lean

And then, forsooth, as years roll on

We pile up all the years again and
put it in the papers.

" McNutt emerged yesterday from
a two-weeks' rest at French Lick to
return to his job as war manpower
commissioner with the assertion
that President Roosevelt could be
elected to a fourth term but added,
''it's foolish to make predictions how
close il will be-"

ference here. in reply to question
whether teammate has been Sc

the latter should run again:
I've given little or no time to
political matters"

Are you for a fourth term?" Mr..
McNutt was asked, and he coun-
tered with another question:
You can all read the signs, can't
you?" Then he elaborated:
MY own personal opinion is that
he (Mr. Roosevelt) is the best quail
fled man in this country to handle
the remainder of the war and ne
gotiating peace"
Mr.. McNutt was a Democratic
candidate for President in 1910, but
bowed out of the picture. Asked
about his future political plans, Mr.
McNutt reiterated an earlier state
ment that he was taking little in
terest in politics. Then he added:
Gas far as I'm concerned POLITICAL
ly, I haven't turned a hand. don't
intend to-"
AS to whether Mr.. Roosevelt would
win reelection by a wide margin,
Mr.. McNutt said:
Its foolish to make a prediction
how close it will be. Many things
can happen"
do you think Mr.. Roosevelt could
be elected with a hostile House." he
was asked.
Anything Is Possible.
Anything is possible In the
House." Mr.. McNutt replied. "But
I have feeling he would carry it
(the House, with him."
| How about the Senator"
II don't think there's any danger
in the Senate" he replied.
How about recurring reports that
you are giving up your Government
post and joining a big New York
law f1rm?' a reporter inquired.
There are no end of such re-
ports," Mr.. McNutt responded, "but
that's my own personal business
and not public. I want to get this

| The 52-year-old presidential aide
reported the manpower situation
was running smoothly. He reported
that 100000 men have been re-
turned from the war and that rs

Still to be settled, though, was
how long the Government-financ
