AS AID TO HEALTH
Standards Lowest Where Lac

ingly, Holstein Body Told , '
CONVENTION OPENS HERE
Health standards in large cities are
lowest where milk products fare con
sumed sparingly, according to E. V.
Mcuollum, professor of chemical hy
giene at Johns Hopkins Uniiersity, who
spoke this morning ,before the Holstein -
Fricsian Associatlpn of America, at the
Bellevue-Stratford.
The association opened its thirty
fourth annual session today. D. D.
Aitken, of Flint, Mich., president, is
presiding. Breeders of Holstein cattle,
which produce eight-five per cent of the
country's milk supply, a,re here from
many states.
"The Future of the Dairy Industry"
was Doctor McCollum's topic. He
stressed the great need for increased
milk consumption in some of the larger
cities. Experiments and investigations
he has made, he said, showed it was im
possible to obtain satisfactorj nutrition
of the human body without the use of
one or more dairy products, which
he classed as "protective foods."
Children Undernursed
Medical observation, declared Doctor
McCollum, show that J5 to 20 per cent
of the children In cities are underfed.
Every,child, he said, must have a liberal
supply of milk to develop normal! , and
the full-grown man, to maintain that
standard of health found in the vigor
ous child, must live .largely on the same
foods on- which the child thrives best.
Doctor McCollum blamed the milch
cattle breeders and their failure to
stress the food values of. milk products
for the public's slighting of those foods
for meats and other products of less
nutritive value. He urged the, breeders
to undertake a campaign of education
for the advancement of their industry
and improvement of the public health.
School Lunches
School lunches, such as usually sup
plied toxhlldren at a nominal price, are
satisfactory as to amount, Doctor Mc
Collum said, but do not include enough
milk,, products.
He criticized housewives who plan
their menus solely according to th'e
appetites and tastes of those who eat

A second train conductor's check,
found at the scene of the bombing
outrage Monday night in Washington,
today directed go eminent nnd city in
estlgators from Philadelphia to New
York citv in their search to locate tlTe
headquarters of the plotters responsible,
The conductor's check found toda
was said to have been in the possession
of Hie terrorist who was killed in
bombing the Washington home of At
torney General A. Mitchell Talmer.
Yesterday morning the first check found
showed that he had gone to Washing
ton from this city on Monday. The
second check jas given a passenger on
the Reading Railroad who traveled from
New York to this city the same day.
The dead man, as yet unidentified,
was first thought to have gone to Wash'
ington from headquarters in this city.
The fact that he would have received
the two checks from train conductors in
making a trip direct from New York to
Washlngtop indicates to the police that
he was only in Philadelphia long enough
to make the necessafc change of train.
The soft hnt he carried, the police
say, may have been bought here on a
previous trip from New York to Phila
delphia. Agents of the Department of Justice
are conducting a thorough search here
today for terrorists known to be in
Philadelphia.
Plans of the movements to be made
have been kept secret. They were
formulated at a conference heid todav
between officials from the Department
of Justice in Washington and the local
office.
Important developments in the in
vestigation to determine the identity of
those responsible for the bombing out
rages here Morulas night arc expected

In this city the terrorists bombed the
rectory of the Catholic Church of Our
Lady of Victory, Piftj -fourth and Vine
streets, nnd the home of Louis Jajiecky,
a jeweler, 244 South Fifty-seventh"
street.
Todd Daniel, chief of the office of
the Department of Justice, said follow
ing the conference today that he no
longer held the opinion that the plot
ters of the bomb outrages that wrought
AVord received from Washington to
day also changes the opinion freely ex
pressed there jesterdaj that the organ!
zatlon of terrorists had operated from
Philadelphia.
Clues Fail to Materialize
The slight clues in the hands of
the Philadelphia police fell through to
day. Tiny bits of white material that
was first looked upon as gun-cotton,
after it had been found at the scenes
of the explosions here, turned out to
be pieces of asbestos used as weather
strip'p'ng In the windows that were
wrecked. A substance that was given
to Captain of Detective Mills as pieces
of the bombs that exploded were found
to be particles of hard clay and copper
roofing.
When the identity of the man killed
in Washington is learned the city and
government investigators expect to ob
tain the first Important clue that may
lead to the arrestand speedy convic
tion of anarchists responsible fpr the
bombing outrages in this city.

Charges Preferred of Selling

Two dozen patrolmen descended on
the same number of food vendors down
town today andi took them, together
with vegetable carts extending a mile,
to jail.
Each vendor displayed his goods on a
long, narrow barrow lined up on Tourth
street "The men were charged with
selling food under unsanitary condi
tions. All the prisoners, according to
the police, failed to take the required
precautions in protecting the food from
dust and dirt.
Incidentally, many of the vegetables
had been on stock for some time, it is
said, and had reached the turning
point.
In addition to arresting sixteen ven

police took nearly as4 manj more into
custody on Christian street below Ninth.
Those arrested, in the South street raid
were taken to the Second and Chris

While expressly only applied to parts
of the former Austrian empire, the
clause will be difficult to confine, in
the future, to these localities, and the
question already has arisen of how it
will affect the Irish, Indians and Egyp
tians in 'the British empire, also the
rights of the Germans in Alsace Lor
raine. The principle is opposed by
small nations here, who object to it as
likely to involve future invasions of
their sovereignty by the "Big Fic."
The declaration is made that it is
necessaij for the league to exercise
this authority, because the ill treatment
of the minorities has been the frequent
cause of past wars. No question of the
principle can enter the Austrian trcatj,
as its subsequent extension depends
upon the development of the authority
of the league of nations.

President Wilson is said to be al
most as unwilling to see the treaty re-
vised as Premier Clemcncenn, Mr. .
Wilson is. almost alone among the
American delegation in his objection to
the revision. American financial ad
visers being strongly opposed to the
economic terms of the treaty.
Labor Takes Hand
The cause of Sir. Lloyd George's
shift of position is the enormous devel
opment of liberal and labor sentiment
in England against the treaty. The
British press and public men have
freely critici7ed the document, and
facilities for communication between
Taris and London are n much better
than between Paris and America that
British public opinion is well informed,.
Sir. Lloyd George, who ip credited wlthf
the intention to move the least when
the breakup of the present coalition
comes, lias seized the present moment
to put himself in the lead of British
opinion favoring niodcraJiou of the
treaty terms.
President Wilson is left in the pecu
Hnr position of a man who insisted upon
justice for German and who now
opposes modifying the treaty even when .
urged b his own financial advisers 'ftr!
and when supported by liberal opinibu y. ta.(V
UOlu IU l.UKluuil uu riftuix.
Llojil Gcerge Leads
President Wilson's difficult is po
litical. He feels that he must get home
bifore the end of the fiscal jear or sur
tender a great advantage to the Re
publican Congress, Prohabl he also
tduiuks from the effect that modification
of the treat now in face of German vTSgl
home. His iKwition undoubtedly will be 'l S&El
....nth ,tnnbnirl hi failure, tn nchieve SF,
n practicable treaty and by Mr, Lloyd
George's ossumlng leadership of the
conference at the last moment.
Moreover, business negotiation is Ini
finitely disagreeable to President YM-
tion ,, distasteful to him. With
t,)c I)reKent state of public
opinion la
England and the opinion of many dele
gates at the conference-, the Germans
have a distinct advantage. They can
probably forte any change they wish.'
There Is little reason to oquoc war, ueQ
(lit. Cprnmns intend to refuse to slcn i $&
the treaty iu its present form. One f
nronosal is that the Allies agree to
changes and submit them privately1 to'.
the Germans with the promise to modify
the treaty afterward if the Germans
sign it In its present form. This suga
