head sweating come often be-
fore the bone changes, but, Of
course, are not indicative ex-
cluSively Of rickets. The head
may seem large, the fontanel
too wide open, and the wrists
enlarged. Feel for the rickety
rosary described above.
Cleanliness and personal by.
giene were once thought to be
factors in the production Of
ricketS. The observations Of
Mellanby on the island Of
Lewis disproved this view. The
diet Of the natives Of this
island consists Of cod heads
stuffed with cod nvers, milk,
fish, turnipS, oatmeal and po-
tatoes. They live under very
bad hygienic conditions. The
houses seldom have a window,
or If so, it cannot be opened.
A peat fire is kept burning, the
smoke Of which can escape
only through the thatched roof
or the open door. They are in
credibly dirty. Yet they are
practically free from ricketts,,
probably on account Of their
cod liver diet.
We have not one, but two,
specific remedies for ricketts,
cod liver oil and sunshine. A
baby at the age Of one month
should have five drops three
times a day Of cod liver oil; at
three months from one to one
and one-half teaspoonfuls q day
Sunlight has more power to
prevent or cure rickets in the
spring and summer than win
ter. But exposure to sunlight
should be made as compulsory
as possible in the winter, never
thelesS. Sky shine-the light re
flected from the sky or clouds
has about half as much ef.
feet as sunshine.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
He BOres Her to Death
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

He Bores Her to Death
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am just II, not beauti-
full, but considered nice look
ing. I have been going
with a boy for four months
who cares a great deal for me.
He has a very handsome boy
friend, and I find I like the boy
friend best. He has made two
dates with me and I think he
cares for me also, but he is al
ways afraid Of what the other
boy will say If he sees us to-
gether.
Now Miss Fairfax, the plain
truth is that the first boy men,
toned bores me to death, but I
can't hurt him by telling him so
as he is such a nice boy and
does everything to please me,
even to buying a new car. Shall
give up seeing the other boy?
It would be very hard.
.. PUZZLED.
Why take things so seriously
at II? It seems to me that it
is not necessary for yoC to give
UP either Of these friends. You
are too young to settle down to
one particular boy. Why not
tell your friend that you cannot
. become engaged for several
years, and that in the mean
while, it would seem best for
both Of you to have other young
friends. He will see the wis
dom in this, I am sure.

Of his social responsibility the

CHAPTER 26

CHAPTEh 70
The presence Of Duke Carson
brought q stimulating surge Of
well-being to Connie. She no
ticed, Immediately, that he was
not impressed by the spacious
dimensions of her home as
Kitty had been. He seemed
In fact, utterly unconscious Of
his surroundings; as he fol-
lowed her into the living room
his tall, athletic body moved
with cat-like grace; his dark
eyes were inScrutable.
They sat down and Carson
waited for her to speak. Faced
with necessity, Connie felt, al
most, that her sending for him
had been a little foolish. Too
she thought she detected in his
grave patience a flavor Of con-
demnation.
''I suppose I might as well
come to the point at once, she
said, carefully. kitty has fallen
ia love with the man I had in
tended to marry. I am con-
vinced that he is hardly more
than a fortune hunter. Within
q short time she will have a
considerable sum Of money in
her own right and I am con-
vinced Jim Tracy is going
after It,"
"And you want me to head
them off so Kitty can keep her
money for herse1f-iS that it?"
Exactly"
Sudden News
'"This is all such sudden news
to me, Miss Calvert, that I want
to get it straight. You're sure,
are you, that you are no longer
in love with this Tracy your
self?"
She could feel herself flush
under the close scrutiny OF
his steady. unrevealing eyes. He
was like a physician inquiring
about symptoms utterly imper-
sonal.
"I never was in love with Jim
Tracy-L just thought I was.
That part Of it is all out Of my
head now. I only want to keep
Kitty away from The trap I al
most got into myself"
What makes you think I can
help you, Miss Calvert?"
In truth, Connie did indeed
wonder at the strange faith in
Duke Carson that had caused
her to summon him here to her
house. Was it because he knew
kitty so well? Or was it-she
speculated hesitatingly-on &C
count of some hidden attraction
he had for her personally. This
thought was too humiliating to
acknowledge, but she was con-
Scious of an inner burning as
she sped it out Of her mind.
No, all that was wanted from
Duke Carson was his hard, prac-
teal wisdom of Sordid motives,
his sharp, cold-blooded under
standing Of tricky minds.
Tell me the whole story from
the beginning" he requested
her.
It was not easy for Connie to
narrate the history Of her love
affair with Jim Tracy; now,
when it came to putting it into

JAP AN DEMANDS
MORE LEEWAY
IN LEAGUE PLAN
Nippon Insists on Further
Notifications in Pact
for Settlement.
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press STAFF Correspondent


TOXIC, Dec. 3.-Japan today de-
manded additional notifications in
the League of Nations plan for
settlement of the Manchurian dis
pute and submitted counterpart
posals on controversial points.
Despite japanese objections on
certain points in the plan, the gov
eminent considered that the way
was clearing for it's adoption.
Japan rejected provisions which
were considered here as efforts to
establish a time limit for with
drawal Of japanese troops and the
principle that neutral observers ac-
company troops on police measures
to protect lives and property.
Called Yelled Threat
The provisions for possible time
limit Of evacuation were contained
in the councils resolution proper.
1t was specified that if the Sino-
japanese undertaking under the
councils resolution of Sept. 80,
which provided for evacuation Of
Manchuria as soon as possible, were
not executed by the time the coun-
ellis commission of inquiry reached
Manchuria the commission could
make fitting recommendations to
the council.
This provision the foreign Office
held constituted a yelled effort to
set a time limit for withdrawal of
japanese troops, and was contrary
to the policy maintained by Japan
throughout the Manchurian nego-
tiationS.
Japan rejected the principle Of
paragraph two Of Council President
Brands declaration that neutral
military observers accompany Chi
nese or Jpanese military units if
either take police measures to pro-
tect lives and property. 1t was
held here that such a provision was
impracticable.
Hostile to Chang
It was notable that the question
of the Chinese evacuation Of the
Chinchow region, where troops of
Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang are
concentrated, was not mentioned in
either the resolution or Brands
declaration. japanese officials con-
cluded that the league had no in
terest in the evacuation.
Japan has insisted that Chang's
troops must be withdrawn and that
his influence must be eliminated in
Manchuria.
Some quarters here commended
that Japanese troops would be
forced to GUST Chang's forces, al
though the recent Japanese advance
southwark toward Chinchow from
Mukden was Cancelled.

Ruth Brennan
 Gets $500 Award
City and Property Owners Settle Suit Against
 Them

Settlement of a $10,000 suit against the city, brought by Ruth Brennan as the result of a fall on an alleged defective sidewalk. was or dered settled yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the board of finance. The city will pay $400 to clear itself of all liability while similar amount will be paid over by the property owner in front of whose house the plaintiff fell.
 The fall took place in front of 1S44 East Main street. The plaintiff alleged that one of her legs was serl- ouslv injured and that she also suf- fered other hurts. Negligence on the part of the municipality was charged. The settlement was ordered by the finance board yesterday fol- lowing a communication recom- mending such action, received from Corporation Counsel Charles $. o. Connor.
 Yesterday's meeting was brief one. A report from the Hamilton Park pavilion for the month or April showed receipts of $3.S34 and expenses amounting to $1,373. The difference between these two amounts, added to the balance al- ready on hand April 1st leaves a surplus now of $4,546.
 Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoiie also filed q report at yesterdays meeting. Back tax collections during May amounted to $31.087. he stated. A total of 5S1 tax demands were is- sued during the month. 10 fore closure suits were instituted. 13 title searches were made and $3S9 was claimed in the bankrupt estate of Lena Sachs.

Legion To Picnic
 One Million Boys
lOOOO Posts Plan to Cooperate in American Boy Day
 Celebrations June 3 to Is

The entertainment committee will have arranged for series of compe- titive games, according to the facili- ties available, such as baseball. swimming, tennis, foot races, vol ley ball and other games.
 The Legion Auxiliary. the mothers and sisters of some of the boys, will have an important part in pro- viding the picnic lunches. All boys, whether they be sons of Legion naires or not, are to be invited.
 The American Legion this year is rapidly approaching the million mark in membership, and it is con- fidently expected that there will be at least one boy at the Legion pie nics for every member in the or- ganization. This will average 100 boys attending each of the 10000 posts picnics.
 "The success of this activity will again be evidence that the Legion is an unselfish organization interest ed in the building of a better com munity spirit, and the building of better citizens, by taking an active interest in the American Boy of to-day" Russell Cook, national di- rector of the Americanism commis- sion of the Legion said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-06-05

Fun galore! Swimming, racing, baseball! Free eats-all any boy can hold! This is an outstanding June activity for the boys of Amer ica, under the sponrship and aus pices of 10000 American Legion posts.
 The natoinal commander. Ralph T. O'Neil, of Topeka, Kas, who has two boys of his own, has designated June 13 or June IS, according to the desires and facilities of the Legion post concerned. as Amer ican Boy Day.. June 13 is on Sat urday, and some posts in the agrl- cultural communities will find Mon- day a better day. June 15 is Monday and some city posts will find Satur- day the better day for them.
 June 14 is Flag day, and the pie mic day of the Legion post should be coordinated with the proper Sum- day observance of Flag day this year the Legion urges. It is suggested that joint church services of pa triotic nature especially of interest to boys, be made a part of this youth activity, and that the Legion on that day take part in the ser vices and encourages the boys to at tend.
 American Boy day is an Ameri- canism activity, and the National Americanism Commission of the Legion has made the following sug- gestions for the two days programs:
 Flag Day Services.
 The legion's post church com mittee should contact all local nm isters and arrange for Flag Day service, prepared especially to in terest boys. It should carry q brief history of the flag and what 1t means to the nation. The legion should make special enort 10 reach the boys who do not regularly attend Sunday school, and induce them to be present. All organized groups, such as the Boy Scouts or America. should be invited to take part. In the larger cities, it is sug- gested that the neighborhood posts work with the boys of their res pective sections of the city. The post should arrange to have it's en- tire membership at the special Sun day school services in a body. The Amberican Flag and legion banner should be displayed.
 All boys of the community, or neighborhood. should be invited to meet at the Legion posts headquar- ters approximately thirty minutes before the opening of the special Sunday school services, where they will form in a body and be escorted to the church, or churches selected for the union meeting.

 The transportation committee will arrange to have chartered bus or private automobiles to pick up the bows at the Legion headquarters on the Saturday, or Monday, selected for the big picnic, and take the boys to the picnic grounds.
