She'll Be Queen of All She Surveys

~ AKLAND, CAL.-By a simple de-
~ cree Superior Judge A. F. St.
Sure made Mrs. Ella NJ. Douglas, an
Oakland woman, queen and sole ruler
of domain larger than many Euro
pean countries, 1,44O,O0O acres, located
in the heart Of the Brazilian jungles,
along the famous River of Doubt.
The jungle empire was awarded
Mrs. Douglas along with an interlocu-
tory decree of divorce from Bruce Vim
cent Douglas, diplomat, explorer and
soldier Of fortune. The vast tract
was a gift to Douglas from Don Man
uel Valdez, whose title came from the
queen Of Portugal by Inheritance.
Douglas is said to have carried on
the late Theodore Roosevelt's work Of
exploration into territory never be-
fore visited by white men. He tired
of the jungles, Mrs. Douglas told the
court, and left for America on a dip
lomatic mission. He did not return.
Soon his adventurous and rowing dis
position had involved him in trouble
with the police in New York. He was
convicted of passing bad checks and
was sentenced to short term in Sing
Sing. where he is now serving time,
according to testimony in court. Mrs.

TALKS ON WORLD PEACE
PRESIDENT DELIVERS ADDRESS
At UNIVERSITY ON WORLD
PROBLEM.
twestsn Newspaper Union News ssrice.)

Washington, June 9.-President Har
ding, delivering a commencement ad-
dress at American University, found
the subject of world peace occupying
so prominent a place on the program
that he was prompted to depart from
his manuscript, and to declare for the
preservation of peace by sovereign
states without interference of world
"super-power."
The Presidents remarks followed an
address by N. w. Rowell, X. c., Of
Toronto, who suggested that the best
contribution North America could
make to civilization was "for men on
this side of the water" to stand to-
gether behind the movement for peace
full settlement of disputes.
Another speaker who touched on
the question of peace was J. ]. JUS
serand, the French ambassador, and
the general discussion developed such
trend that Bishop J. w. Hamilton,
presiding chancellor, referred to the
gathering as peace conference"
Before singing began, American,
British and French flags were raised
over the outdoor speakers stand.
II do not think could let this occa-
sion pass" said the President, with
out giving assent to many of the ap-
propriate and appealing things just
uttered by DIR. Rowell.
Il liked his expression that Ameri
can and Canadian ideals are in com
mon, and when he spoke about North
American contribution to civilization
and to the world, it occurred to me
| that the example of two great peoples
living side by side in peace, in conf
defice and in mutual understanding, is
| about the finest contribution that two
nations could give to the world.
Il have said that if all the nations
were as honest and unselfish as oul
republic, there never would be another
war. I will revise it and say that II
all the nations are as unselfish ant
devoted to their ideals as the Unitet
States and Canada, there never will b'
another war.

United States and Canada have settled

The problem Of combating manutri-

pCrmanence. than progress in science.

its people. especially Of it's children.
This national asset -health-is at
present the most III danger of all our
ional resources.
There is a decided difference between

adult and on Il child With the adult

he must both grow and keep we'll The
present extent of health activities i'll
}'ludeS attempts to arouse the interest
of the child himself in health matters
and to see to what degree he can be
stimulated not only to take an inter-
est in his health but TO have the ambi-
ton to be well and strong
In I4adySmith the response of the
children to this effort at health edu-
cation has been Il revelation. Through
the health club program in every room
in every school excepting the high
school the children have learned that
milk is Il good all around food which
children must have for their growth
and Il chance for health.
Children CndernOurished
At the beginning Of the year when
the children were weighed. the follow
ing results were found:

With this number Of children under

the milk stations in the schools. 1t was
Il difficult problem to organize the milk
in the schools.
At first the equipment delayed the
starting. Then. when all equipment
was obtained no tuberculin tested milk
(Which we demanded) was available
Gradually. a gallon or two could be OBJ
tanned for each school. SO up to the
Christmas holidays the serving Of
milk in the schools went through the
ups and downs Of organization. At the
present time however we are able to
obtain all the tuberclllin tested milk
that we need and are serving from %
to 100 gallons weekly. All the under
weight children (unleSs there be oh
lection on the part of the parentS) are
urged and do get the milk once a day

Effects of MaInutritf0n
With the cooperation of the child
and of the parents, ii is safe to say
that every child can be brought up to
normal weight The average child to-
day does not have enough of the right
sort Of food and cannot have its food
cut down or the important articles of
diet replaced by questionable substl-
tutcs without grave danger of increas-
ing malnutritiOn in our child pOpula
ton. Lowered nutrition in children
means decreased vitality and lowered
resistance to disease. If the nutrition
of our children is impaired for any
length of time full Juvenile develop
ment will be permanently arrested
Nor is the physical stunning of the race

ishment Of our child population entails
Intellectual and moral abnormality
