continued interest of the many
friends of the Phyllis Wheatley

LATIN NATIONS
WILL ACCEPT
PEACE BIDS
international News Service

The State Department has re-
ceived information through diplo-
matte channels which leads it to
believe that the nations Of South
America will accept President
Roosevelt's proposal for q Pan.
American conference to perfect
machinery for maintenance Of
peace on the American continent.
This was learned today as the
President awaited formal answers
to the direct personal appeal
which he made to the heads Of
the 20 Latin American republics
that the American nations take
advantage Of the fact peace exists
among them to formulate methods
for preserving that peace.
Thus, the possibility of a peace
league Of the American nations
loomed more distinctly.
Argentine has agreed to the
Presidents suggestion that the
conference be held at Buenos
Aires, providing that is acceptable
to the other Latin-American re.
publics.
There was reason to believe
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
may head the American delega-
ton to the conference. No date
has been set, but President Roose-
velt, In his letters to the heads
Of the Latin republics, expressed
the hope the conference could be
convened "at an early date"
The purpose Of the conference,
as described by the President.
would be to determine how the
maintenance Of peace among the
American republics may best be
Safeguarded - whether, perhaps,
through the prompt ratification Of
all the inter-American peace in
strumentS already negotiated; /;
whether through the amendment
Of existing peace instruments in
such manner as experience has
demonstrated to be most neces.
sary; or perhaps through the crea-
ton by common accord Of new
instruments Of peace additional to
those already formulated"

Boris Of Bulgaria turned up un-
expectedly in Belgrade today and
went into conference with Prince
Paul, head of the YugoSlavian
regency council, giving rise to the
belief that yet another link In the
ring Of steel around Germany
would be forged.
Boris, observers understand, has
opened negotiations that may lead
to Bulgaria'S eventual inclusion in
the Balkan league, which was
founded under French inspiration.
Bulgaria. ally Of Germany in the

"holdout" in the union Of the

CLAIMS
AWAIT DEBTS,
COURT RULES

Claims Of German aliens, aggre-
eating more than $6,000,00 are
involved in decision of the United
States Court o. Appeals for the
District of Columbia today, in
which the court, for the first time,
interpreted an act Of Congress
which provided that irrespective
Of the Berlin treaty, no alien prop
erty should be restored unless Ger
many paid its awards to American
claimants.
Action of the court today was
in the $650,000 claim Of the
Deutsche Bank und DiSconto-
Gesellschaft for property seized
during the World War. The banks
claims had been allowed by the
Alien Property Custodian but,
when other parties sought to at
tach portions Of the award, the
final payment was held UP. In
the meantime, Congress passed the
DISPUTED resolution.
IL was never the intention Of
Congress to confiscate the seized
property. It was merely to be
held in custody Of the Alien
Property Custodian during the
war and then returned to its
owners, the court said. It was
provided, however, that the origi-
nal owner must agree to the de.
duction of q certain portion Of
the claim, to cover expenses Of
the custodianShip, and payments
to American claimants against
Germany.
The congressional resolution
which forbade the return Of Ger
man funds to Germans as long
as Germany was in arrears in its
payments to American claimants
is violative Of the Fifth Amend.
ment of the Constitution, the
court ruled in upholding the Ger
man banks claim.
1t was stated at the Depart
ment Of Justice that the United
States Supreme Court probably
win be asked to review the de-
cision Of the lower court.

MILK NEEDED FOR
YOUNGER CHILDREN
DR.. Gregg Explains Tremen-
dous Value of Food In
Building Body

Growing children need milk as a
food, but it is valuable to adults as
well, DR.. A. D. Gregg, health officer
for Vance county said in statement
today He pointed out the body build
ing qualities of milk, and urged great
er and freer use of it. His statement
follows:
scientific medicine and medical
chemistry have made many wonderful
discoveries concerning the elements
of which our bodies are made, and
have made many wonderful improve
nents in feeding the sick and abnor-
NAL children and adults. BY adding
to, or subtracting from, certain ar
ticles of our diet, we can control, or
prevent, many physical handicaps and
overcome certain disease conditions.
But man and his science has never
discovered or invented a substitute
for food that is as good for young and
growing animals as natures old and
reliable food known as milk. Milk is
the one complete food for young ami
mails. An all wise Providence has so
ordered that each kind of animal pro-
duces the specific food for its young,
as breast milk for babies, cows milk
for calves, etc.
1T so happens that cows milk, or
goats milk, is very similar in COM
position and food value to mothers
milk, and SO cows milk is used as a
food for children and needs no alter
alton for the normal child over eight
months of age.
''NOw why is this milk such a need
ed part of a child's diet? A growing
child need lots of calcium or lime
salts to produce strong teeth and
bones. Eight per cent of the hard
part Of our teeth and bones is COM
posed of lime and phosphorus salts.
A child needs Is to IS grains of cal
cium per day in order to develop
strong bones and hard teeth. A quart
of sweet milk contains Is to 20 grains
of this bone building material and just
satisfied the needs of the child.
Lets look into the other foods of
children. Take a breakfast of juice
of one orange; oatmeal or cream of
wheat; one egg; butter and toast a
nice breakfast for a child but con-
tanning approximately seven to eight
tenths of one grain of calcium. Now
add to this eight ounce glass of milk
and you add five to six grains of cal
cium which brings the calcium up to
normal requirements.
"In our school examination, defec-
tive, soft and broken down teeth are
our most frequent, defects noted. Now
the baby, or primary, teeth are form
ed three to four months hefore birth
and the mothers blood must supply
the calcium I wish I could get every
mother and prospective mother of this
county together in. one. place and talk
to them a few minutes on this sub
ject of their responsibility for their
children's teeth.
$50 many of our degenerative dis
eases can come from gum boils and
carious teeth. Our permanent teeth
can be protected. by proper diet when
children, and proper mouth hygiene
as we grow.

Dec. II, 176O-Deborah Sampson was
born in Plymouth, Mass, IL years be-
fore she cut off her hair, put on mems
clothes, took the name of Robert
Shurtleff, and succeeded in enlistlng
in the Continental Army as a COM
mon soldier.
A sabre-cut in the forehead and
shot in the shoulder did not take her
out of action and it was three years
before an attack of brain fever while
she was serving with Washington's
troops at Yorktown, caused her lden-
tity to be discovered. Washington
gave her a discharge and his thanks:
Congress voted her a grant of land
and a pension. She married Benjamin
Gannett, a farmer near Sharon, Mass,
settled down to being a good wife
and mother.
Dec. II, 1797-Joseph Henry was
born in Albany, N. Y. He was an &C
tor until, during an illness and having
nothing else to read, he went through
Gregory's Lectures on Experimental
Philosophy, Astronomy and Chemis-
try, and this determined him to devote
his life to scientific research. 1t was
a decision of tremendous conse-
quences, for he produced the electric
magnet and intensity" magnet, and
made the telegraph possible.
In fact, he suggested the telegraph,
and transmitted electromagnetic i'm
pulses through a mile-long wire long
before S. F. Morse did. Henry was
the first pioneer weather forecaster
in the U. S., and the biggest factor in
the development of the national light
