For weak, frail, derdeveloped

Children love them as they do

ROME, May 6.-The fascist govern

strike with unusual interest because
it presents an opportunity to study
the important problem of the relations

'PThe British strike has not had the
slightest economic, political or labor

1--WE have plenty of coal and sources
of supply abroad outside of Great Brit

without such meetings the position

Canterbury and representatives of

Baldwin and the trades union con-

But these lost much effectiveness by
the lack of press publicity. Some
