CAMPAIGN TO
INCREASESALES
OF WAR STAMP!
WASHINGTON, April 8.—Monetar
habits of groups of people in variou
industries and employments are th
subject of study by the National Wa
Savings organization with a view <
determining the best places and th
best times to sell savings stamp:
This is prompted by the reversal t
last year’s policy of giving an agenc
to practically every store which woul
handle the stamps and adoption of
new plan to select carefully a fc
stores as agencies on condition tha
these make active efforts to push th
sale of the stamps. Thus the orgai
izatlon hopes to make the agenc
privilege a real distinction in eac
community.
To this end, the war savings orgai
zation has undertaken to answer sue
questions as these:
Are people in a certain industry c
locality most likely to buy stamp
from their grocery stores or from
drug store which is open at night?
Are restaurants and candy store
effective agencies?
What sort of store in a small city i
most likely to attract buyers after th
postiffice is closed?
—
If department stores are made
agencies to reach women, in what de
partment or in what aisle location
should the stamp-selling booth be lo
cated?
What sort of stores are best thrift
stamp agencies for children?
| What kind of down-town stores are
k best agents for men?
f “It is realized, of course,” says a
War Saving statement, “that banks,
building loan associations, and such
y agencies to which people naturally go
s with money are excellertt sales agents,
e and school houses are admirable sell
r ing points for children. But the sav
if ings directors want to make certain
e that adults in residential and indus
i. trial neighborhoods can secure stamps
f conveniently at the hours best suited
y to them and in connection with their
d usual trading activities.
I “The number and location of agen
y cies per thousand of population is be
4 ing carefully considered as the treas
e ury does not wish to split up the
l_ stamp business to such an extent that
y the business of each agency will be
II too small to be of any advertising
benefit to the agent.

LOOKING AFTER
THE HEALTH i
of babies:
___ i
i
WASHINGTON, April 8.—Weighing
of more than 2,00,000 babies, establish- I
ment of many new health centers to 1
advise mothers on the care of their <
children, and stimulation of the move
ment to keep children in school and 1
provide them adequate recreation,
were reported today by the children's
bureau as some of the results of its
children's year campaign.
More than 11,000,000 women par
ticipated in the activities of the year,
which was inaugurated April 6, 1918,
the first anniversary of America’s
declaration of war. It was planned to
save at least 100,000 of the 300,000
children who die annually of prevent
able diseases.
The first activity of the year was a
test of children under six to see 1
whether they were up to the standards
of weights and height for their ages.
Nearly 7,000,000 record cards were is
sued, of which more than 2,000,000
have been tabulated, with others yet
to be turned in. A large number of
communities have undertaken a sec
ond test this spring to include child
ren missed in the first and also to
note improvement in those previously
registered.
Need for preventive work on behalf
of children was said to have been em
phasized by the information obtained
in the test. According to reports re
ceived from State Child Welfare
phflirmnn nf t Vi o Pniirtoll o f. VnHnnnt
Defense, communities in twenty-four
states have employed new public
health nurses during the year. For
ten of these states a total of 137 new
nurses has been reported. One hun
dred and thirty-four children’s health
penters to which mothers may go for
expert advice concerning the best
means of caring for their children
have been established during child
ren’s year in communities of fifteen
3tates.
Swimming pools, playgrounds, and
new leisure-time activities have be
come a part of the play life of boys
and girls in many communities as a
result of the year. From sixteen states
the establishment of new playgrounds
has been reported. /v n
Forty-three states, New York city
and the District of Columbia are en
gaged in a campaign to prevent boys
and girls from ging to work before
they have the training they need for
successful and happy lives. “Back
to School,” and “Stay at School” are
the slogans of this drive. A number |
af communities have provided scholar-'
ship funds to enable children of needy
parents to continue their education
after they reach the legal working
age. At least one such scholarship
tor each of the 281,000 school houses
n the United States is the goal that
aas been set.
Although children's year is officially
)ver, plans are under way hi several
states to make every year a children's
year. A ne^v consciousness of the
alue of the child ai\d his need tor
;ood health, wholesome play, adequate
schooling and protection from prema
:ure work is said to be indicated by
aws contemplated by the states.

KENTUCKY COUNTY
VOLUNTARILY GOES DRY
LOUISVILLE, Ky„ April 8.—Prohl
jition by agreement became effective
oday in Christian county, Kentucky,
ifter an election on the prohibition
luestion had been proposed, the liquor
lealers, in view of the approach of
lational prohibition, consented to dis
tontinue the sale of liquor on
\pril 1.
The effect of the novel experiment,
which authorities say was never at
;empted before in America, will be
watched with interest.
Under the agreement, the liquor
lealers pledged themselves to aid in
snforcing prohibition, and to use their
influence against the issuance of new
tcenses by county authorities. If new
applicants take action against the
county authorities to compel the
issuance of licenses, the old liquor
dealers agree to bear 50 per
mnt of the cost of fighting such suits.
