LITTLEFIELD GETS
RESULTS FOR A. L.

Friends of Raymond B. Littlefeld
say he once had intentions. of follow
ing the profession of civil engineering
as his life work. "Should he not
have changed his mind" they say,
"he would have been infinitely success
full, for he is always engineering some
thing or other to a successful com
pletion."
The latest engineering feat to win
him credit was the building of the
department of Rhode Island of the
American Legion into one of the
strongest beams in the national struc-
ture of the Legion. This was done
during his administration in 1924.
Legion work has been a particular
ly favorite objective for Mr. Little
fields engineering genius. He began
serving the Legion as charter mem

SCIENTISTS Al LIMA SEEK PROMOTION OF
 N-AMERLCANISM

LIMA, Peru, Feb. 17.-Among the most important of the 147 recommen- dations approved at the plenary clos ing session of the third Pan-Ameri- can Scientific Congress, held here this month, were the following:
 Recommendation for establishing a Pan-American University at Panama, details of which will be worked out by the Pan-American Union.
 Proposal for the celebration of a Pan-American Archaeological Confer ence in Cuzcp, and the general CO., operation of American archeologists in the study and investigation of the remains of the ancient peoples of America.
 The endorsement of the work done by the Carnegie Institution and the proposal for the establishment of meteorological and geophysical sta- tions in all the republics of the Pan- American Union.
 A recommendation was also made that Pan-American Institute of Electrical Engineers be established for the purpose of studying electrical development, especially with reference to electrical power as public utility

1. Inadequate exposure to sunlight, 2. A diet of deficient in food ac- cessorv vitamin, whose nature is as yer unknown, but which enables the body to store calcium and phosphorus in tke bones from the food taken in D the body. The disease is most prevalent in winter months in north temperate climates, particularly among races with dark skins, in which the pigment still further retards the effects of the suns rays. On the other hand the disease is practically unknown among negroes in the West Indies who are receiving an abun- dace of sunlight, or amog Eskimos, who are used to little sunlight but whose diet from early infancy con- sists largely of fats and oils of fish. Babies between three months and one year of age are most susceptible to the disease, particularly if they are within this age period during the late winter months when the seasonal in cidence is at it's peak.
 "Physiologists are at loss to ex- plain how the suns rays or the oil of fish livers can deposit calcium in the bones, but the fact that they do has been amply demonstrated clinically and in experiments with animals There are, therefore, two methods of attacking rickets: 1. Exposing the babies directly to the rays of the sun or to the ultraviolet rays of a quartz lamp; or 2. Giving doses of fish oil three times day during the period of life when rickets is most likely to occur. Sunlight in con- gested city districts is a rare com modity For this reason, moderate dosages of fish liver oil is a safe, prophylactic measure"

It is also recommended that Committee on a Pan-American Railway" study the economic, political and industrial aspects of the Pan-American railway project Standardization of railway pro- ject. Standardization of railway gaug- les and equipment also is urged.
 Narcotic drugs came in for atten- tion in recommendation that Pan- American Pharaceutical Conference be held odraw up a code of propos- ed laws governings the production, distribution, and sale of habit-forming drugs.
 Diseases of plants and animals are recommended for study, and stock hygiene regulations are urged, espe- cially those connected with the preparation of milk for human con- sumption. Protection of rare birds and valuable bird-life is recommended.
 Sociological and educational ques- tions include a Pan-American center of secondary education to be establish ed at Washington, D. C., where equiv alent courses in English, Spanish and Portuguese be available for Pan-Am- erican students. The conversation of the purity of the Castillian langu- age also is urged Courses in politi- cal science and international law are recommended for all American uni versailles of tn estudy of journalism as profession. It is recommended that schools be established for teach ing the manual arts and trades to the indigenes of the various repub- lies with the end in view of raising their economic standard.
 In the field of inter-American com- merce, it is recommended that all the American republics arrive at uni form laws respecting contracts and letters of credit making the latter negotiable instrument by means of endorsement, and to give the hold CT of the letter of credit a right be- fore law to collect it's face value.
 Chief among the recommendation contributed by the First Pan-Ameri- can Women's Conference are those pertaining to hygiene in schools, means where wholesome food is ob- tainable by children while at school, the establishment of swimming tanks, and a compulsory regimen of physi- cal exercises suitable to the individu- al child

Ay Language Open
 Sesame in La Paree

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The sign English spoken is no longer necessary, or even adviseable, on store window in Paris. American and English customers have become so plentiful that every first class establishment pretends to have someone who speaks a more or less vague version of the language.
 Americans in particular run into their mother tongue so often that they try now and then, to find one of those essential French places, es- pecially in the restaurant line where there are no foreigners. They sell dom succeed.
 When new maitre d'hotel is en- gagged today in restaurant, the first question is "Can you speak English?" If he can he has a chance at the job, otherwise not. When the per son who thinks he has found a nice little French place enters, he rarely fails to be spotted and addressed in English as French in any place where 1t costs as much as a dollar to eat

A. l. (. P. Investigates Cause and Cure of
 Tickets in Children

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Three out of four infants in a New York tene ment district develop rickets before they are year old, according to a report made public today by the New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, giving the re- suits of campaign to combat this di sease which the A. I. c. P has been carrying on for the last five years The report indicates that rickets, a winter disease, the most marked eff feet of which is to retard the develop ment of the bony tissues of the very young child particularly the long bone of the arm and leg, is at present a serious obstacle to child health It is responsible the A. I. c. P. finds, for the fact that fully twenty-five per cent of the children in one New York tenement district have serious orth- opedlc defects such as bow-legs, and knock knees, funnel chest" and also spinal curvature, and this malady is also held to be largely responsible for the appalling death rate of the young children in this district from pneumonia and other respirator dis eases. The report in part follows:
 "The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor is carrying on it's annual campaign against rickets in the Mulberry district in New York City. Five years of intensive work has shown that rickets in early in fancy presents real obstacle to the health of the child. It is no exag- of the babies in this district develop rickets before they are year old The after affects of this condition are seen in the large number of children from two to six years of age, fully 25 per cent, who have serious ortho pedic defects and in the appalling death rate of young children from pneumonia and respiratory diseases largely due to the narrow chest and confined breathing space so charac :eristic of the rachitic child.
 That child has bow legs because lis mother let him walk too soon,'
 is the popular expression Of the two or three year old youngster with bad ly bowed legs. This thoroughly un scientific theory is, after all, not so far from the truth. Such children usually have suffered from rickets The most marked effect of this di sease is to retard the development of the bony tissues of the body, par. ticularly the long bones of the arms land legs. Their legs, therefore, may be said 10 be too young, physiological ly, to support the weight of their bod |ies. When they attempt to stand on their feet, the bones of the legs bend under the weight of tho body like tender green twig.

NATURALIST SAYS BIRDS KILLED
 RUTHLESSLY
(By Associated Press)


 NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-The migra- tory game birds of North America are threatened with practical extinc- tion in the opinion of Dr. W. T. Horn aday, noted naturalist and defender of wild birds and animals. Ducks and geese may come to the vanishing point in ten years if the present rate of slaughter continues. 'The doom of our migratory birds as we'll is sounded unless bag limits are immediately re- duced," Dr. Hornaday declares.
 An army of six million hunters, equipped with the most modern de vices of slaughter has reduced to a certainty the practical extermination of the game birds if the present un- paralleled rate of destruction contin- ues," the speaker said. There has never before been anything equalling the present pursuit of bird life in our history. Not even the destruction of the buffalo was more persistent or widespread
 Tt is generally admitted that the automobile has doubled the perils of the game, because it has placed every stretch of water where ducks may be reported, and every hunting ground within the reach of hunters living within a radious of POO miles or more.
 Under the ruling of the Depart ment of Agriculture the bag limit that may be shot by a single hunter in one day is p ducks of all kinds, except the wood duck and cider duck, and the limit for brant and geese is eight. The season lasts for three months or more. These limits are most waste full No man or ordinary sized family can eat 25 ducks in one day, nor can they eat one-fifth of that number, and since their sale is forbidden in most states, indications are that large percentage of full bag must be giv en away or become a loss by decay.
 'The lawful limit of 25 ducks day now prevails in 29 states, fatally in- cluding all the states where ducks can find winter feed and where they con- gregate in greatest numbers in win ter Although no hunter gets his limit every day, and in many states where ducks were once plentiful he he t0 ha lxi duck, yet in those diminishing areas where ducks seek winter protection and food, he often gets the limit by the time most of us are breakfast ing.
 "WithOut legal restrictions, in tel years our migratory game birds will have become so shot to pieces and weakened as to be reduced to the van ishing point Unless steps are taken further to protect the birds against the millions of hunters arrayed against them for three months of the year, duck shooting a thing of the past, and many species may pass permanently from our list of game birds. I appeal not only to the sportsmen but to all bird lovers, to the women of the country, to all others who are inter- ested in preserving our wild life for future generations to act now, before it is too late.'

Geologic Age Through Atomic Disin-
tegration to study the matter.
We know that radioactive ele-
ments are disintegrating or going to
pieces. Thus uranium in time be-
comes radium and radium in time
becomes lead.
The rate at which this disintegra-
ton goes on is always constant.
Thus If a rock is found which con-
tains both uranium and lead, the
lead must have originally been ura-
MUM and we can calculate how long
it would take the change to occur.
The age Of a uranium deposit at
Lusk, Wyo., is calculated to be 3d.
100000 years old on this basis. One
in Ontario, Canada, is at least 1,S00,-
900 900 years old.
More study Of this sort, it is
thought, may enable scientists to es-
innate the age Of the world.
