Occasionally conNulsion is pre-

There may be great restless
ness. Twitching Of the muscles of
the hands. feet, face. or eye lids
may occur.
More often. however. the con
vulsion comes on quite suddenly
and unexpectedly.
What one is apt to notice Is
that the child looks pale and that
its eyes are staring and fixed or
rolled upwards. thus showing the
white of the eyes.
Soon the actual convulsive
movements follow. The face mus
cles may contract rapidly. caus-
ing the face to look distorted.
Then the head may be thrown
back and the body stiffen. Hands
are usually tightly closed. Later
the limbs may contract in rapid
succession
Sometimes there is biting of
the tongue or frothing at the
mouth or both. Often peculiar
rafting sounds are made.
After a few seconds or several
minutes, sometimes only after
half an hour, the convutsive
movements gradually grow less
and finally cease entirely.
During the attack the child is
likely to be unconscious. After
the attack he may be dazed and
want to sleep.
Only one conVulsive seizure
may occur or there may be sew
eral after lapse of a few hours
or days or weeks.
If the mothers milk is not as
wholesome as it should be, or

Summon the physician, how.

the child before the convulsion

greatly in finding out what the

it will help him in trying to pre-

Minister Designate
Of Irish Free State
Arrives in Capital
Continued From First Page.)

Great Britain had determined on con-
scription and in the most romantic
way. The Celtic diplomat, who enjoys
the distinction Of being the first ap-
pointee of his country to be sent to the
Geneva Tribunal in 1922, and who,
since 1928, has been the permanent
delegate to the League of Nations, is
a North of ireland man. who sympa-
thized strangely with the South, and
when the Irish Free State was formed
cast his destiny with that government
rather than with the Ulster regime.
He is young as diplomats are when
they reach the dignity of ministerial
rank and recently entered his forty
sixth year. He studied in Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, and in France and Spain
with the ultimate intention Of follow
ing the peaceful vocation of teaching.
He obtained a position in the Univer-
sity of Denmark at Copenhagen as a
teacher of languages, and the Summer
of 1914 found him on an auto tour of
Southern France, with vague idea of
crossing the Pyrenees into Spain.
It was In the romantic part of France
known as Cote d. AZur that, overtaken
by war, he joined the Foreign Legion
and set out with the first French bat
talions that went to the assistance OF
Serbia, invaded by the Austrians, and
he remained until the last remnant OF
the Serbian e-r.y took refuge on the
