- PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE LISTS SCHOOL HELPS Issues Advice Concerning Buildings Where Children Are Educated Washington, Sept. 19 —(UP) School days are here—perhaps to the disappointment ot youngsters—and coincident with them the U. S. Public Health Service has issued a statement ot warning and advice to parents concerning their children’s second home —the school building. The location ot the school building is important, the public health service declared. It should be so placed as to be easily accessible to large groups of children, but should not be near main traffic arteries where the lives of small children would be endangered. Play grounds are essential, it was pointed out, and never should be sacrificed to landscape gardening, no matter how attractive. “The grounds should be well drained." the statement said, "and the play area surfaced so as to be free from mud on wet days. In grade schools there should be a minimum ot 50 square feet of play area for each pupil.” Trees, although not undesirable, should never be so close to the building as to throw shadows across the class room windows, it said. Three-Floor Unit “No grade school should have more than three floors, and of course the building should be fireproof,’’ the statement continued. "The halls should be wider and have as much natural ventilation and illumination as possible. The exits from the building should be wide and it is very important that all doors in the building —in the rooms, in the halls, and to the outside, should open outward. The doors leading from the building should be equipped with automatic fool-proof devices which will open the door when pushed by any child. The reason for this is to prevent the piling up of children in case of panic, it is notable that in all the disasters of recent years in school buildings the great loss ot life has been due to this piling up, either behind locked doors’or in narrow stairways. The hdllways should be well lighted and always € have some natural illumination. The furnace room should have fireproof c walls, ceiling and doors. 1 "Pure drinking water should be i available in all schools. The drink- .

ing fountain is the sanitary way*" fit provide drinking water for children. The fountain should never be located in toilet rooms: the corridor is the preferable location. One fountain to about 50 children is the best proportion. The type of fountain is very important. Many schools provide fountains which are as unsanitary as the common drinking cup. The only satisfactory fountain is the type which sends the water from the side of the bubbler and delivers the stream of water obliquely. Any fountain which permits the child to cover the bubbler with his lips is to be condemned. “If the proper drinking fountain, can not be provided, then paper cups should be used. If ready-made cups are too expensive, children can be taught to fold a paper cup. The public’s abhorrence of the common drinking cup is well established and deservedly so. Supply of Wash Bowls t “When possible, wash bowls with hot water and a supply of liquid soap shonld be provided in every toilet room. One bowl to each 20 children is the minimum number. The bowls should be the proper height from the floor for children’s use. Up to the present time the paper towel is the only satisfactory drying material available for schools. “If children are to learn the fundamental health habit of the proper care of the hands after going to the toilet and before eating, the lavatory facilities should be kept attractive. This requires the close attention of the teachers and janitor. “Os course separate toilet facilities should be provided for boys and girls Few persons realize that there are actually at the present time, schools in this country where boys and girls are forced to use the same toilets under unbelievable conditions. “Toilet rooms should be well ventilated and should be so situated that the sun light will enter them during part of the day. Spotless cleanliness is the ideal. One toilet seat to every 15 girls and one to every 25 boys is the standard. It is unwise to use so-called disinfectants and deodorants. Soap and water are the best deodorants aftel all.” — o — Beautiful Women Simply Love It MELLO-GUO Face Powder is preferred by beautiful women because it leaves no trace of pastiness, flakiness or irritation.

British Ace Breaks World’s Record

Flashing through the air like a comet across the sky, the blue j and white Supermarine Rolls- I Royce S-6 hydroplane, piloted by Squadron Leader Augustus 11. Orlebar, broke the world’s -peed record for aircraft and officially set a time mark of .368 miles per hour. This achievement of the British Schneider Cup Team captain indicates that the speed possibilities of modern aircraft have hardly ibeen scratched, but it also brings to light the fact that British planes are far ahead of American models when it comes to actual speed.

7—— —— —— secretary-treasurer. Although Jones once before attacked Flshwlck. and threatened ouster . proceedings, he did po on that orcasion on specific grounds—the appointment of Harty Maddtjn to the executive board of sub-ilistrict No. 1. This time Jones denounces wick and his associates on general principles, and inferentially attacks the good faith of both men as union , officials. Jones attacks Frank Farrington. , former state president, a bitter foe of lite Lewis administration as traitor” and charged that he acted as president while employed by the Pea , body Coal corporation. “Since we acquired the records and , other documents in the sub-district,” , Jones continued, "we find that the , allegations we made in our election . contest before the former sub-district board of sub-district No. 9 were true." The sub-district has been involved in a squabble over the leadership of its former officials, D. Cobb, president; Heza Hindeman. vice-president, and E. P. Loden, secretary-treasurer. President Lewis revoked the sub-dis-trict charter after those officials refused to account to him for certain real estate. Jones, John Belcher and John Brown were ‘appointed provisional officers after a court battle. “The records of the former secre-

tury-treasurer disclosed that they cast more, votes In some local unions in Franklin county than they had members; that the provisional officers were legally elected. •An election wil be held in provisional aub-diatrict No. 9 when the pro visional officers have uncovered all the graft n»d corruption that has been perpetrated by th<* former sub-dis-trict officers and the accounts have ben properly audited Against A. C. I-ewis. general state counsel of the union. Jones brought tne charge that 1265 which was to have been distributed among miners for wage claims, never was turned over to the men.” Another paragraph contains the charge that A. C. Lewis once appeared in court representing a defendant, the Brewerton Coal company, against a union member who had sued for money he claimed was due him. Another charge was that A. C. Irf'wi* and Fishwick were responsible tor the injunction obtained against Jones, Belcher and Brown when President Lewis sent them to take charge of the sub-district. o Strasabourg, Sept. 18. — (U.P> — The casualties from the terrific explosion in the petite Roselle coal mines near here Monday mounted to 22 dead today when two of the injured victims
