iniscent Of the days Of '76. Tere. " in

was signed by the Mid.European
Union, representing more than 50,0o0.-
900 Of the oppressed races of Europe.
In this declaration gratitude was ex-
pressed to their allies and the prtnci-
| pies outlined which should govern
their future states.
One of the signers Of this declara-
ton was Thomas G. Masaryk, who.
| in December, returned to his native
land to become the first President of
the Republic of Czechoslovakia. For
four years he had continued what he
| referred to as "a strange, unthought-
of tour around the world"-a mis-.
sionary journey which had presented
the cause Of his peoples to other coun-
tries and gained much needed under
! standing and assistance. A political
| exile in 1914. Masaryk established the
| National Council of Czechoslovakia in
Paris. with branches in all the allied
countries. This council acted In COM
plete accord with the Czech leaders in
Bohemia, and the declaration adopted
by the Czech Deputies at Prague on
January 8, 1918, was the basis OF the
declaration of independence issued In
october by the National Council. In
this latter document the Czechoslo-
walks affirm: 1--WE accept and adhere
t0 the ideals of modern democracy
which have been the ideals Of our ma
ton for centuries. We. the nation of

principles expressed In the American

Goiter Common Near Sea.
THE medical scientists have foun.

THE medical scientists have found
that goiter is due to a lack Of
iodine in the body. Iodine is plentiful
in sea water, hence 1t has been
thought that people living near the
sea have a great advantage over those
living inland, since the sea air would
carry at least some iodine to than.
But this conclusion has been proven
doubtful. II not entirely wrong. Tests
have been made recently with the In
habitants Of New Zealand. which Is so
narrow an island that no part Of 1t is
more than a hundred miles from the
ocean. To their surprise the doctors
found that goiter was very common.
It seems. then, that the body probably
gets its iodine mainly IL not entirely
from the soil, by way of food grown
in the soil and also from the drinking
water - not from the moist ocean
sbreeses.
