Senators opposed to White House domination retorted that it was high time that he button-holing tactics of high ad. linistration officials should be openly quizzed. The agitation against the measure has its origin in the bureaus which would be transferred or abolished. The Federal Power Commission has issued an order which is symptomatic of thinking in administration circles as government employees leave for outside jobs at smallpox. Evidence of poor nutrition was observed in 18%, defective teeth in 20%, and uncorrected defective vision in 10%. A variety of other defects were found but those referred to above can be prevented or corrected in practically all cases. Good prenatal and post-natal care is no less important to the health of babies and children than to mothers. It is hoped that the observance of Health Promotion Week will focus lucrative salaries.
