Stunts German Babies.
[By Henry Wood, United Press Cor

by Henry Wood, United Press Cor
respondent.]
PARIS, Feb. /. (By mail)-The
babies now being born in Germany
are two centimeters smaller than the
average normal German baby in peace
times.
This Is due to the decrease both in
quality and quantity of the food now
available in Germany.
German medical reviews and mag
azines which have Just reached Paris
dwell at length upon the fact that the
latest development Of this under
nutrition of the German population is
to retard the growth and development.
OF babies both before and after birth
AS early as IN 1918, Dr. Schlesinger
OF Strasbourg was able to establish
that the rationing of the German
population had resulted In decrease
in the weight OF babies at their birth
In the Deutsche Medizinische
Wochenschrift OF December 10, 1917,
he gives statistics showing that the
lack OF nutrition Of the mother has
now resulted In retarding the growth
and development Of the babies as well
as reducing the weight. He estao-
fishes that the average German baby
at birth now is two centimeters be-
meath the normal.

The papers chronicle day by day the
steady advance Of the British soldiers
nOrthward through Palestine. Their

how some places lend themselves in

One Of the most decisive of the con

Deborah made a great song about
the triumph. One stanza runs this
way:
Course We Meroz, said the Angel Of
the Lord, curse We bitterly the inhabi-
tants thereof; because they came not

Of the Lord against the mighty"
No one knows where MerOz lay. No
ruined vestiges remain to Identify it.
There Is no other mention Of 1t In the
pages Of history. There is no ground
v for speculation about 1t. Yet for
over thirty-two centuries 1t has been
pilloried in its infamy in that immortal
song. Whatever its prosperity and its
works, whatever its hopes and achieve
ments, the loves and hates, the sue
cesses or failures, Of its ~people-they
are all forgotten in the clustering, with
ering condemnation of the singer. 1t

Perhaps its utter oblivion Is the re-
suit of the merited condemnation.

CONQUEST
By HENRI
Of the vionantes.

The broad, beloved life of n peace
full, housekeeping nation, is a prod
uct, not an ordinance to be proclaim
ed. Why, then, do we talk Of negotiat-
Ing peace. when 1t has been destroyed
by violence? The forces that make
peace must first be reestablished.
One might as well talk Of peace to
a man struggling In the hands Of a
murderous highwayman. One might
as we'll talk of a peace settlement with
the thief, to q man who has been rob-
bed.
Wherever moral issues are involved,
the instinct of mankind demands a
clean-cut conquest of evil.
Wherever there Is q definite attempt
to injure another person, the n as
sailed knows he must win a decided
conquest to be safe.
Wherever there Is a man who lives
Justly, he is entitled to conquest over
those who attacked him.
Right, safety, and justice all de-
mand conquest over wrong, danger
and brutality. Let conquest be tie
word we use in speaking of the dis
position of this wal.

Shades Are Interesting.

1t is interesting to note the different
effects materials have In the various
shades. Brilliant, clear colOrs are good
looking for dull materials. BY a dull
material is meant one which does not
show up in the high lights. Reds and
bright blues look well, for instance. in
crepe or homespun, and have a total
~ different effect when matched ex-
actly in the same shade of satin or
velvet. Quite the reverse is the case
with browns or blacks, for satin or
velvet is almost a necessity to keep
these colors from looking dull and
somber.
