public not taking full advantage
of all available obstetrical facili-
ties at hand"
Every female should be recog-
nized as potential mother, not
only by parents, the family physi-
clan and health officers, but by
every citizen.
She then would receive such
protective influences as would
guard her through infancy, child
hood and girlhood. An outdoor
athletic life is essential in prepar-
ing a girl for future motherhood,
DR.. Mccormick said Having a
baby primarily is physical prop
osition. College diplomas often
hinder the ease and success of
the process. We can not deter
from the fact that the most i'm
portant biological function of The
female is reproduction"
QUOTING from statistics taken
~ from June, 1925, to June,
1885, he showed that unmarried
mothers have had better protec-
ton against maternal deaths than
others.
During that period. sci preg-
nancy patients, having an aver
age age of 10 years, were delivered
of their first babies at the Flor
ence Crittenton Home. These
patients were given efficient
consecutive obstetrical care during
the prenatal, delivery and post
natal periods by an able, selected
medical staff, with the result that
no mothers were lost" DR.. Nc
Cormick said.
During the same period, when
the general maternal mortality
throughout Marion County was
one childbearing woman in 1873,
efficient prenatal, delivery and
post-delivery care was given 1900
eXpectant mothers at the Indiana
University Clinic, with the loss Of
but one mother in 840.'
Giving birth to a child is a mus
cular feat, according to DR.. Nc
Cormick.
The physical strain put upon
the seasoned varsity player dur
ing a football games does not
equal that experienced by wom-
an in labor" he said. Therefore
certain forms of exercise should
be maintained throughout preg-
macy. When labor begins, the pa
tent should be taken to the hos
pital. If it be important that
father go to the hospital to have
tonsilS removed, and it really is,
it is much more important that
mother go to the hospital to give
birth to his offspring.

BRITAIN YIELDS
WAR ALLIANCES
Confident, London Ponders
Withdrawing Fleet From =
Mediterranean.
By United Press

By United Press
LONDON, Dec. 24.-Great Britain,
confident of it's strength, is contem-
plating the possibility of withdraw
ing part of its fleet from the Medi-
terranean.
Consideration of this move was
made possible by an agreement be-
tween the French and British army
and navy general stats and
promises of cooperation, in event
of an attack by Italy, from Egypt,
Greece, Yugoslavia, Rumania, Spain
and Turkey.
These promises involve co-opera-
ton with Britan's armed forces in
the Mediterranean area in case
Italy, made desperate by League
penalties for her war in Ethiopia,
attacks Britain.
War talk naturally continues. It
is frank, but the prevailing opinion
is that a war with Italy will be
avoided. This despite the general
admission that Italian British ten
sion is again acute.
Anthony Eden started in at the
foreign office today, but it is under
stood that he will spend a brief
Christmas holiday with his mother
in the country.
1t is believed that his first big
diplomatic job will be to put Egyp-
tlan-British relations on a firmer
friendlier footing.

BETHLEHEM, Dec 24-Ethio-
plan priests and Italian prelates
knelt side by side with the worlds
pilgrims within the Church of the
Nativity tonight, murmuring their
alteration of the Christ Child who
was born in Bethlehem Manager
Outside the raftered church-built,
so legend says, on the exact spot of
the manger-special police moved
up and down in strange at
mosphere of reverent awe and FORE
boding tension.
War, and threats of war, dimmed
the joyous festival that usually is
Bethlehem'S on this holy night
For several days there have been
rumors of brewing trouble between
the large Ethiopian population and
the Catholic pilgrims from Italy.
Bleating of Lamb Heard
Nor was the Holy City of the
Nativity packed, as it usually is,
with visitors from the entire world.
The native Christians were more
conspicuous than others.
Within the dimly lighted church
where bells pealed throughout the
day the high head-dresses of the
women of Bethlehem rose above the
bowed heads of the congregation.
Away toward the hills came the
bleating of stray lambs calling for
their shepherd. But realization of a
modern world remote from the hal
lowed Christmas atmosphere of
Bethlehem is brought back by the
sound of an automobile horn on a
nearby mountain road.
Throughout the day vendors of
holy trinketS and antiques, real and
sham, moved among the meager
tourists on the streets.
Holiday Cruises Cancelled
At midnight the bells of the
Church of the Nativity will peal out
| to herald the dawn of another
Christmas day and priests will stride
through the streets swinging cenSers,
followed by white surpliced choir
boys singing carols.
One of the most impressive por-
lions of the service within the
church will come just before mid
night when the priests will bear an
effigy of the Blessed Babe to its
sacred spot in the grotto.
The war scare, which caused sew
eral steamship companies to cancel
their regular Christmas cruises to
the Holy Land this year, diverted
sightseers. Those here to pay their
homage to the Savior tonight were
devoutS who prayed fervently that
the peals of peace and good will
from the chimes would reach to all
parts Of the earth.
Service to Be Broadcast
In nearby Jerusalem at the
church of the Ethiopian Coptic
Christians special prayers will begin
at midnight and will continue until
the end of the festival, seeking di-
vine intercession for a permanent
peace and Ethiopian independence.
A group of Ethiopian priests ar
rived in Bethlehem early today,
coming by motor buses from Jeru-
salem. On their departure a crowd
of Ethiopians gathered outside the
Jaffa Gate to wish them a happy
festival.
AS in two previous years the en-
tire world will listen in by radio to-
night to the Bethlehem celebration.
The ceremonies are scheduled to
start at midnight a p. m. Indian

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 24.-Pope
Plus, responding to Christmas
greetings of the College of Cardinals,
spoke sadly today of the threats Of
new wars" He begged God to end
them.
He deplored also persecution of
Roman Catholics in Mexico and
Germany.
Receiving 80 cardinals who went
to his apartments to extend Christ
mas greeting, the pope handed
each an encyclical dated Dec. 20
and then addressed them PERSONAL
ly Tor half an hour. In his address
the pope said:
1t is too bad that we have
reached these festivities with pain
Jul preoccupation and threats of new
wars. May God disperse SUCH
visions. Christmas arrives with dark
clouds lowering above us and with
signs OF human blood on the road,
which is difficult and menacing.
One might say that this road. as
mountalneerS speak, is filled with
treacherouS passes
The pope was famous alpinist
when he was younger.
Persecution Is Denounced
Christmas, the pope said, finds
large sections of people CRYING
against the faith" He called such
people Goddess.
Denouncing persecution, the pope
said Mexico was distant geo.
graphically but near to our heart
spiritually"
In Germany he continued, it was
wished to impose a sort of Christi
anity called practical. and pam
Christian
These Christianities are mon
sters, and are armed to fight Ca
tholicsm," said the pope
The one real Christianity Is
Catholic"
The cry of the Goddess, he said,
sis not only heard but accepted.
He added:
I'VE wish we had been able to
extend a serene word which might
represent significant contribution
in all these sad things. Our hope.
however, failed. But this does not
mean that we have lost all hope,
because hope for us is a Christian
duty"
Fears Priesthood Thinning Out
At the end the Pope referred to
the pro-occupation of the church for
the priesthood. His listeners gained
the impression that he was worried
at the thinning out of the priest
hood.
In the encyclical, the Pope wrote
of the duties of the priesthood.
There was but one passage which
might relate to present international
conditions:
In the present clash of self in
terest, unleashed hates and dark
plans of revenge nothing could be
more beneficial to health than
loudly to proclaim a new command
ment OF Christ, that commandment
which enjoins love that extends to
all, that knows no barriers or ma
tional boundaries, excludes no race
and excerpts not even its own
enemies"
The keynote of the encyclical was
this passage:
THE office of priest is not for
things human or things that pass
away, however important and valu-
able these may be, but for things
divine and enduring; eternal
things"
1t emphasized the functions Of
the priesthood in the religious and
social scheme, a priests mission for
peace and his influence for good. 1t
exhorted priests to strive for the
highest ideals. Interspersed were
excerpts from his previous encycli-
Gals regarding the sanctity of mar
riage and other problems.
