...would be well enough to take his seat with the rest of the Senators when Congress met. But he was not so able, so last week he wrote two letters-one to Vice President Dawes, one to Governor Robinson of Delaware-resigning. Thus ended a Senate career which began seven years ago by appointment and was continued four years ago by popular election. His health kept Senator du Pont away from Washington most of last session. This session, though resigned, he will be more present than usual in his onetime-colleague's minds, since the Senate is taking...
...first seven Budgets, for the years 1923 to 1929 inclusive, called for a total of $29,800,233,790 to run all branches of the Government. The Congresses appropriated $29,478,282.294, cutting the Budget Bureau's estimates by only $321,951,495, or 1.16% of the total. Of this amount, $135,468,732 was saved by the Naval Disarmament Conference, from the Budget for 1923. Since 1923, the Congresses have appropriated only $55,971,630 less than the Budget Bureau's estimates, or a margin of faultfinding and disagreement of less than .2%. President Coolidge declared himself...

Result: only seven cases of smallpox, one of leprosy and two of typhus reached U. S. quarantine...
...more than 30 years and its surgeon general since Woodrow Wilson appointed him so in 1920, calls the health officers of all the states to a conference. Most of them attend and from his quiet, pointed talks get stamina to suppress disease within their districts. But six or seven states are so careless of their epidemiological work that their statistics are rarely considered in Dr. Cumming's survey of the nation's health. In the two score and more who habitually report, last year there were 4,000 needless deaths from measles, 7,000 from whooping cough. Infantile...
