to distribute, among; so many heavy-

But In view of the fact that congress
hae added only six cabinet Jobe to the
.four orltinalty established. It Is not
lively that all of the dosen or bo sug-:-
rested portfolio will be created In the
' Hear future, though It Is possible that
.on or two may be aauea.

uaeted r thope of eocretary of
. Aviation, secretary of foreign trade and
merchant marine and secretary of du
eatlon. The latter post Is being widely
favored by club women and school
" teachers throughout the country as.of-
, ferlng a chance for a woman of na
tional reputation to enter the preslden-
' tie! cabinet And in view of the tremen
dous political power of women voters
from now on, many congressmen and

The roliewing cabinet positions mat

In tha Wuhlnrton "drawlnar

recently:
Secretary of education: To promote

and navy departments free to concen
trate on the actual Job of fighting.
. PROMOTE LIFE BETTEHMEWT
1 Secretary of public welfare: To com

military conditions.
Many of th'eee proposals of course are
scarcely given serious consideration by
any : considerable number In congress
and several overlap or almost duplicate
entirely existing agencies. The fact
that they are put forth means little ex-
cept that many people are thinking- eut
loud as to how the government can be
made of more servioe to the public or
more economical and logical in its or-
ganlsatlon.

WORK
Questions of Poor Eyesight, Hear
ing and Breathing to Be 'Gone
Into in Coming Months.
Corrective work in aiding Portland
school children to improve their
sight, hearing and breathing will
be especially cared for during the
coming months by the six school
nurses who dally inspect children
at various schools, according to Dr.
Edna SherrlH Eames, chief of the
school Inspection.
Dr. Barnes points out that Portland
schoolchildren are as a rule very healthy,
although Investigations show that much
can be accomplished In corrective work
toward bettering their general health.
If a child cannot read an ordinary
"sight test card" at 20 feet, which nor
mal persons can detect at 30 feet dis
tance, the child Is turned over to a doc
tor for further examination. Dr. Eames
states that many Portland children are
suffering- from defective vision and do
not know It. Defective breathine and
hearing:, along with throat troubles of
a minor nature are the most common
aliments suffered by the children, she
stated.
Need of a clinic for children with de
fective vision as well as decayed teeth
is pointed out by Dr. Eames. She states
that her staff of school nurses Is ex
amining close to 12,000 children every
month and that it will not be Ions before
uinics win db aDsoiutely essential to
care for the vast number of children.
Outdoor exercise, plenty of sleep,
proper nourishment and healthful sur
roundings are preventives for many of
the children's ailments, says Dr. Eames.
In two or three schools over the city Dr.
Barnes has established "open air class
rooms," in which children receive a flood
of fresh air during the day through the
open windows. They are wrapped In
blankets to protect them from extreme
cold. She finds that children suffering
from throat troubles improve in "open
air .classrooms."

gether they worked out plans for the

doubling the size of the kitchen, JIauser

fiends fines la of no avaih as they Im
mediately dig into their pockets, produce
a roll of bills, smilingly pay up and go
out and do the same thing again.
"The only way to settle these custo
mers is to send them right off to the
penitentiary, there to be given hard
labor, the minimum sentence to be one
year, and that Is too light. Why is not
the speed limit in Portland reduced in
the face of so many dally accidents and
in view of so much pure carelessness?
In the name of humanity, how long is
this slaughter of innocent women and
children going to be permitted V
MOEE SEVERITY URGED
A garage man urges The Journal to
be less lenient In its attitude toward
reckless auto drivers.
"The automobile newa In The Journal
Is good," he declares, "only you don't go
after the lawbreakers hard enough. They
are bringing the auto industry into dis
repute. The reckless drivers should be
given jaU sentences instead of fines."
Another writer advocates more edu
cation for drivers and pedestrians,
greater" activity by the -vigilance com
mittee and jail sentences for offenders.
"I have read your comments on
speeders." lie offers, "and am very
much pleased that you are continuing
the campaign to lessen the number of
accidents. I have watched the auto
drivers and I believe some of them use
very good judgment aa to their rata of
speed and take into consideration the
condition ot the pavement when they
are driving, but others have no con
ception whatever of their speed and
they could not stop la the length of a
city block.
PEOPLE ARE CARELESS
"Again, people do too much Jaywalk
ing and do not use proper care before
crossing streets. If you could give both
sides a few lessons in safety first, if
the vigilance committee would report
more violators, and if the penalty were
made a stiff jail sentence, it wouldn't
take long to educate all of us."
The public wants more rigid enforce
ment of traffic laws. The people want
the offenders arrested and jail sen
tences Imposed on the reckless drivers.
They have a right to demand it-

parties were started by orders from ma
rine corps headquarters at Washington,

Marines" are endeavoring to emphasize
this point.

Over Two Hundred Suggested
Washington, March 20. TJ. P.)
Breaking all previous records, the pres
ent congress has ordered or proposed 200
Investigations covering as many subjects,
according to compilations tonight.
These range from profiteering In men's
collars to the most weighty international
questions.
How much these investigations cost
has not been reckoned, but it is estimated
they will orm a considerable part of
congressional expenses, which run about
125.000 a day.
This congress is also breaking the
previous record for bills and resolutions
introduced, having 18,177 to its credit
with only half of its time gone. The
previous congress, in its entire two
years, piled up 23,811 in the house and
senate hoppers.
Out of 200 resolutions offered in both
houses of this congress proposing in
vestigations of various kinds, 77 have
been agreed to. They cover activities
of Henry Ford, alleged discrimination
against individual hackmen In the Dis
trict of Columbia, and the "question of
office rooms for senators." Scores of
resolutions have been introduced and
adopted for investigation of almost every
executive department and prominent ad
ministration official. Scarcely any local
