ingredients, used by many physi-

to accomplish in few minutes what
we believe no one drug formula can

FATHER To SPUR
REDFERN HUNT

Spurred by the hope that his
son, missing for eight years. has
been found, Dr. Frederick Redfern,
of Brunswick, Ga, will arrive in
Washington tomorrow for confer
ences with the State Department
concerning a dispatch received
from Colon, Panama, that the
missing man, Paul Redfern, had
been seen in Netherlands Guiana,
South America, two weeks ago.
The younger Redfern, an aVia-
tor, took off from Brunswick in
August, 1927, on flight to Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, and never
reached his destination. He had
been given up as dead for almost
eight years.
The dispatch received by the
State Department was from James
L. Parker, American vice consul
at Colon, who reported an "un-
named informant" had seen Red
fern in the Guiana country. and
offered to lead a rescue party if
arrangements were made before
June IA. The aviator was re-
ported seriously crippled.
State Department officials were
at a loss to understand what
ARRANGEMENTS" were needed for
the start of the rescue party,
and Immediately telegraphed DR..
Redfern.
The Georgia flier was last seen
by the master of a Norwegian sail
ing vessel approximately 165 miles
off the coast of Venezuela, head

Riqht to Press German-Amer-
leans Into Service Denied;
Treaty Violation Charged
Copyright, 1885, by International
News Service)

The United States will refuse to
recognize the right of Nazi Ger
many to conscript any American
citizens of German origin for mill
tary service in the new German
army.
This was learned in authorita-
tive quarters here today following
Berlin reports that the new Ger
man CONSUMPTION law would apply
to German-Americans between the
ages of 10 and As, irrespective Of
whether they were American citi.
Zens.
Paragraph 10 of the conscript-
ion law was quoted in Berlin dis
patches as providing that "A
Reich citizen in the sense Of this
law is every Reich citizen even If
he possesses citizenship in another
state"
If Germany attempts to apply
that section of the law to Amer
lean citizens of German origin,
there is good reason to believe this
government will contest such
action as a violation of the rights
reserved by this country under the
separate American treaty of peace
with Germany at the close Of the
World War.

Rich Boys Ransom Is
Believed Paid

from the Weyerhaeuser home was
linked with the third plea of the
kidnapped boys parents in the
Seattle ost-Intelligencer, the news
paper designated by the abductors
in their extortion note to be used
as a medium of contact.
The ad, appearing in the per-
sonal classified columns of the
newspaper yesterday, read:
"We are ready-Percy Min
ME-"
Code Name Used
The message was interpreted
to mean the 100000 ransom had
been assembled. The signature
Percy Minnie" is the code name
the Weyerhaeusers were in
structed to use.
Another startling development
was that the kidnapers may have
secretely occupied an abandoned

Demands on the Bank Of

several hundre' more were told

New supplies of British and
American bank notes arrived
from London to handle the rush
for foreign currency in the flight

It was estimated that more
than 100000, 900 in gold was
taken from the Bank of France
in the last three days: The giant
liner Normandie. sailing on her
maiden voyage today, carried
$40, 100000 in gold, with similar
shipments due on four other
American boats.
Reports persisted in well-in-

an embargo would be clamped

would, in effect, amount to de-

standard.

UTILITY BILL s
FATE DEBATED

Senator Wheeler SCOTS Claim
Of Opponents That Measure
Is Unconstitutional
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service
With the new AAA bill side
tracked for complete revision,
the Senate today hesitated over
considering the Wheeler-Rayburn
utility holding corporation bill.
Conservative opponents charged
it is unconstitutional in light of
the Supreme Courts ruling in
the MIRA case. The charge wor-
ried Administration leaders, who
privately desired to sidetrack the
bill despite President Rosevelt's
personal Endorsement of it.
Wheeler SCOTS At Charge
Senator Wheeler CD of Mon
tana, co-author, laughed at the
constitutional attack. He declared
the bill constitutional and charged
the conservatives were trying to
becloud the issue.
A terrific Geographic demand
for defeat of the measure mean

so respects, the Geographic op-
position to the bill equalled that
against the World Court and the
flood of kilograms sent Congress
in favor of the bonus. Holding
corporation officials apparently
had inspired tens of thousands
of investors to protest against the
bills enactment.
Power Delegation Hit
The principle assault was di.
rected at the alleged unconStitu-
tionality of the basic idea of Fed
eral dissolution of utility holding
companies. One claim was that it
delegated wide discretionary
powers to a subordinate govern
ment agency, without laying down
proper standards for the guild
ance of that agency.
The other was that it applied to
utilities engaged solely in intra-
state commerce as well as to utili-
ties whose business crossed State
lines.
The bill may pass, but not with
out a terrific battle.

SUGGESTIONS

LOWER prices on eggs and butter
are here but there is no promise
that they will stay. Several vege-
tables are also cheaper including on
ions and cabbage, which for several
weeks have been prohibitively priced.
Asparagus, green peas and lima beans
are also more moderate. Potatoes
continue to be high. Green beans and
spinach are relatively higher, but new
beets and carrots are cheap.
All meats but lamb are high, and
stormy weather has made fish rather
scarce and high. However, fish twice
a week will help to keep the food
budget in order as it is sure to be
plentiful and inexpensive again before
long.
It is about time to do any preserv-
ing Of strawberries, pineapple or rhu-
barb or combinations of these as they
are now plentiful and moderate in
price.
Here are three menus made up of
reasonable foods adapted to different
budget levels:

a third of the total population of the
country. Applying that estimate to
Maryland, we realize that we have
about 500, 900 boys and girls in that
age group in this State. We can Wis
ualize the health needs of these young
sters if we think of them as divided
into three practically equal groups.
The babies under a year old and the
youngsters under school age, belong in
the first group; the boys and girls,
from five or six to ten, who have
started to school, in the second; and
the older boys and girls, still in school
or getting ready to leave school, in
the third.
The first requisites in any plan of
health protection are obviously. ade-
quate care, food and shelter. Other
minimum requirements include med
ical supervision all the year around;
protection in infancy or early child
hood from diphtheria and smallpox;
health inspections at regular intervals
to insure freedom from avoidable
physical handicaps; prompt correction
of conditions in need of attention;
community provision for play and re-
creation and opportunities for nor
NAL health, growth and development,
physically, mentally and spiritually.

fers challenge to all thoughtful men
and women in Maryland"
