ment. is given a “preview” at Los Angeles when the city undergoes an
attack luring United States Army maneuvers. This battery of sound de-
tectors camouflaged from aerial sharpshooters, notifies the defense of ap-
proaching planes while they are still between four and six miles away.
CHILD HEALTH
WEEK IN MAT
May first, which has been pro-
claimed May Day - National Child
Health Day by President Hoovqr at
the request of Congress, will be ob-
served in thousands of communities
throughout the country, according to
Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of
the Interior and Director of last No-
vember’s White House Conference on
Child Health and Protection.
In commenting on the effective-
ness of May Day-Child Health Day as
a national health institution, Dr.
Wilbur said today that “the all-year-
round programs for the betterment
of child health resulting from this
custom of taking stock of the health
of the nation’s children every year is
bound greatly to increase the ef-
ficiency of the American people, and
will undoubtedly in another genera-
tion or two show definite results in
a lengthened average span of life.
“In spite of the eVer increasing
speed of life about which alarmists
make such a fuss,” said Secretary of
the Interior Wilbur, “we have been
steadily increasing our span of life.
In 1860 in the United States the aver-
age number of years a man had to
live was forty-one; in 1909 it was
fifty-one; and now it is almost sixty.
This increase in the number of years
allotted to man bears a fairly-def-
inite ratio to the preventive medical

work being done. In the last fifty
years the medical profession has
discovered more useful information
concerning the causes, prevention,
and treatment of disease than was
accumlated in all preceding centuries.
It took years before even the best
medical men realized that cure as a
measure did not contribute perma-
nently to a healthier and happier
state of society. Prevention began
to dominate the medical world onl
about twenty-five years ago.
“Striking examples of the triumph
of prevention are the extermination
of typhus and yellow fever from the
country, and more recently the great-
ly decreased mortality rates, effect
fed by means of immunization, from
former often fatal disease, diphtheria
and typhoid, and the disfiguring
smallpox.
“During the next fifty years as
in the past half century, the em-
phasis will increasingly be on pre-
vention. Of course, at no period in
life does prevention apply more aus
piciously than with infants and pre-
school children.
“What May Day-Child Health Day
Committees are doing in co-operation
with other organizations, such as the
Parent-Teacher groups, in the way
of physical examinations, and im-
munizations for diphtheria and small-
pox, for children under school age
show that we are getting at the root
of the health problem in the proper
way. The great value of these ex-
aminations is that if a child has any-
thing wrong physically that can be
corrected, the weakness is detected
by the physician. The sooner the
fault is discovered and remedied the
greater the chance for long life,
health, happiness, and efficiency.
“A glance at what a few represen-
tative states in various parts of the
country did last year is reflected in
the reports of the May Day Chairmen.
In California the chairman reports
that 7,746 medical examinations were
given in 38 counties. In Georgia
many thousand children were not only
examined, but had necessary correc-
tions and immunizations during the
summer. Over 9,600 doses of toxin-
anti-toxin were sent free into the
counties by the State Board of
Health. In Massachusetts practically
20 per cent of all children expecting
to enter school in the fall had physi-
cal examinations, and defects to the
number of 1871 were reported cor-
rected before school started. Michi-
gan held 300 May Day clinics with
an attendance of 9000, and 300 Par-
ent-Teacher Associations registered
for the Summer Round-Up. Forty
pre-school clinics were held in Min-
nesota. Mississippi had 24 counties
reporting immunization programs
against diphtheria, typhoid, and small-
pox. In New York special clinics
were numerous and formed the most
conspicuous feature of the State’s
May Day program. Clinics were
held for examinations of pre-school
children, administering toxin-anti-
toxin, for child guidance and mental
hygiene. In Oklahoma City about
1000 children were given free physi-
cal examinations, and in Pittsburgh,
Pa., nearly 2000 infants were ex-
amined in addition to the large num-
ber of pre-school children examined.
Oregon reported pre-school clinics
organized in 17 communities.
“All 'this represents progress which
has been made in spite of the physi-
cal hardships the country has gone
through this past year. And from all
reports this year’s May Day program
will bo able to record even greater
accomplishments for this generation
of children.”

fifteen minute battle, ninety-
five years ago this month, changed
the map of all America and
brought the Pacific Coast within the
political view of the Atlantic. A pitiful
handful of men, principally from
Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, led by
a stalwart Virginia-Tennesseean, swept
Santa Anna’s proud army from the
field of San Jacinto and set the seal of
liberty on a domain soon to be extended
from the Louisiana Purchase to the
Golden Gate.
The soldiers who marched painfully
from Gonzales to San Jacinto, their
families who fled destitute before the
invaders, left sons and daughters to de-
velop the magnificent country they had
saved for liberty. Oil, a resource un- *
dreamed of by Houston, Rusk, Burle-
son or Deaf Smith, has, within a single ;
lifetime, contributed more to the mate- 1
rial comfort and happi-
ness of millions of people
than any other single re-
source.
From the beginning of

in Texas at Corsicana in
1896, oil, within a little
over three decades, has
