PIcKETING

A. bill to punish those guilty of
picketing foreign legations and
embassies has been favorably re-
ported in the House at the re-
quest of the State Department,
which points out that the United
States canpot ask for protection
for its diplomatic establishments
in foreign countries unless pre-
pared to offer the same protec-
tion to foreign diplomats in this
country.

suspicious of the others. The stu
ton as it exists in China, is as if
each American state governor
had a great private army which
he could use for any purpose he
wishes, even to the extreme Of
fighting the armies of neighboring
governors.
AS a consequence, plus Japan's
far more efficient and modern
war machines, it is believed GER
tain that the Japanese viii en-
counter relatively little trouble in
conquering the north provinces.
She viii take over cities and ac-
complish destruction on a vast
scale, and probably replace pres
ent local governments with pup
pet Chinese governments con-
trolled by the Japanese. as she
did in Manchuria. But in the
long run, Japan's chances of sue
cess are dubious. China is q
tremendous country, with the larg-
est population in the word. Not
since the dawn of history has 1t
been permanently conquered
over a period of many years, the
invaders intermarry with the Chi
nese and are virtually swallowed
by the immense country. China
has more than half a hillion neo
pie as against Japan's 75,000.000.
Furthermore, ii seems incon-
ceivable that Japan win be per-
mitted by othed powers to advance
unhindered into China. Russia is
strongly anti-Japanese and viii,
If matters go far enough, throw
her resources to the side of China.
And If it came down to a Russo
Japanese war, most military ex-
perts think the bear would win.
England viii attempt to limit
Japan's conquest in the interest of
her own trade, and so, in all prob
ability, will the United States
and France. And lastly, it Is a
question whether Japan's financial
resources are sufficient to stand
a long struggle-today more than
so percent Of her governments
budget is earmarked for the army
and navy, and she has soaring
national debt.
So here is another grave threat
to world peaee--the gravest, per-
haps that has yet appeared. Wheth-
er war Is actually declared Is only

intents and purposes a major war

DOES YOUR CHILD
 HATE BEDTIME !

If your child has the habit of staying up late it will be hard to break it, but you can do it. Ask yourself first why the child does not want to go to bed.
 Has bedtime pleasant assocla- tions for the child? If you put him to bed as a punishment when te is naughty, he will feel that there is something unpleasant about going to bed. If you have done this in the past it will be hard to change this idea, but you can at least give up using bed as a punishment. Do not let him feel that he is missing pleasure
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-05-26

by going to bed. Go into his room with him and stay till he is tucked in. Then leave him alone, but do not seem in hurry to get away. If the child is afraid of the dark do not leave a light burning in his room, but do not expect him to sleep with his room completely dark until he has learned to conquer his fear. A little light from street lamp, or from the hall through a partly closed door, not shining in his eyes, may help. If he has other fears that make him dislike be- ing in his room alone, help him to conquer them.
 Does the child get his daytime nap regularly? If not he may be wakeful at bedtime.
 Do you always put the child to bed at a regular hour? If not, begin tonight to put him to bed at the hour that you have decid- ed on, and make no exceptions. Treat bedtime in a matter of fact way; do not argue about it. Give the child warning above five min utes before bedtime, so that he can come to stopping place in what he is doing. Do not an- nounce bedtime too suddenly.
 Do both parents try to make the half hour before the child's bedtime a time of quiet play, without exciting games or stor~ ies? Active play during the day makes children pleasantly tired, but just before bedtime it makes them wide awake.
 Are you firm about the child's staying in bed quietly after you leave him? If he keeps calling to you and asking for drink of water or anything else that will

HEALTH EXAMINATION FOR NEW FIRST GRADERS AT
 10 A. M. THURSDAY

Parents of children who will be in the first grade in the territorial school next year are urged to bring their children to the hospi- tai Thursday morning at ten o'clock for physical examina- tionS.
 The physical examination has been set for this time to enable parents and school authorities to discover defects which may be remedied before the opening of school next fall.
 Early registration and exami- nation are customary procedures outside and have resulted in more effective teaching and less failures in the first grade.
 If the first grade teacher knows that a child is near sighted or slightly deaf she can overcome these handicaps.
 Other defects which make a bright child seem dull, may be too slight 10 be noticed by the teacher. These are revealed by the physical examination and eas fly corrected.
 There will be no charge for the examination and it is hoped that every child will be there.
 Anyone desiring further infor- nation may call Mrs. Calvin Pool.

HE BORROWED Z CENTS, -

A trade journal which comes to The
Republican office regularly leach
month where it is read by almost lev!
eryon in the shop, is responsible for
the following story: 01 in% =.
Forty years ago two sixteen-year-
old boys in Brooklyn applied for a job
at a factory. One of them was success
full. He was hired to work as office boy
in the New York office. Being wholly
without money, he borrowed the entire
capital of the other lad-seven cents.
He caught rides on the back. Of deliv-
cry wagons and thus needed no money
for transportation, but he did spend
that seven cents for lunch.
Time marched on. The two lads who
had been together for a few moments
had never met again. The first boy
climbed up from office boy to the pres
idency of his company. One day he
got letter from man who had been
the boy from whom he borrowed! the
seven cents. The mans niece needed a
job. Could the president find her one in
his company? Could he? What thrill
he got out of making place for the
girl! A letter went back to the uncle
telling him there certainly was job
waiting for his niece, and that there
was lunch waiting for him. '....,.
We should like to be present when
the two men meet. What will they
have in common? What has life done
to them? What will they talk about?
Will they agree that life has, been
good, or will they shake their heads
dolefully and wish they might live
life over again? Forty years have
passed since their last meeting. One
has achieved the top place in his in
dustry. What has fate done for the
other? We'd like to be present,'if we
could make ourself invisible and listen
to their talk over the luncheon table.
And we'd like to know their thoughts
when they part. I

"Do not allow any open cut or
scratch to come in contact with the
rabbits. Keep your hands away from
your face and your eyes. The infec-
tious material can be absorbed thru
mere scratch or break in the skin.

that have been in contact with the
game.

Of rabbit fever. The animals become
diseased through the bite of ticks that
carry the disease-producing germs.
Rabbits raised in rabbitries are usual
ly free from such ticks and so far, do
mestic rabbits have not been found to
be sources of the disease. Rabbit
fever is usually contracted in hand
ling, or skinning, infected rabbits, or
in preparing the meat for the market
or for cooking. 1t can also be con-
tracted through the bite of the infec-
ted ticks and even through crushing
the ticks in the fingers.
1.-THE first cases OF RABBIT fever
brought to the attention of the State
Department of Health since the begin
ming of the hunting season, were re-
ported few days ago, from the West
ern part of the State. Both occurred
in the same family-mother and son.
In both cases the disease seems to
have been contracted in skinning and
dressing rabbits brought in by the son
from hunting trip. The son remem-
bers having had his hand scratched
while on his trip. The mother picked
up the infection in washing and dress
ing the game. Fortunately both have
had prompt medical attention.
"When symptoms develop that sug-
gest rabbit fever, the family doctor
should be sent for without delay. Blood
tests for the presence of the infec-
tion, will be made by the Central or
Branch Psychological Laboratories
to assist in the diagnosis of the dis
ease, at the request of the attending
physician, for any case in the counties.
Similar service is available to physi-
clans in Baltimore City through the
laboratories of the Baltimore City De-
partment of Health"
