BRITAIN PLANS.
NEW MOVE TO.
EASE TENSION
Re-definition of Policy Ex-
pected to Strengthen
French War Ties
JAPS FLANK HANKOW;
DEADLOCK In SPAIN
(By United Press)

Great Britain today prepared
for another firm move toward re-
ducing Europe'S war fever.
The indication was that Prime
Minister Chamberlain would meet
the demand for the re-definition
of Britain's position within a few
days and that England would give
renewed, if not firmer, assurance
es of British support for France
in the event Of war over Czecho-
slovakia.
1t was believed that by such a
move Chamberlain's government
would seek to regain ground re-
Gently lost in the struggle for
consolidation of Europe's peace.
Meantime, Germany paraded
81 900 soldiers and batteries of
artillery past Charlottenburg col
lege, where Fuehrer Hitler stood
as guest of honor.
In Spain, the battle on the
Ebro river front continued dead
locked with an estimated $4,000
loyaliStS and 10000. ..
In China, Japanese armies be-
gan an extended enveloping
movementdesigned to cut off
Hankow from both the north and
south.
At Hong Kong, the British gun
boat Cicala radioed that she had
found the Chinese civil airplane
submerged at a spot near where
Japanese airplanes forced it
down yesterday and machine-gun-
ned the men, women and children
aboard. The Cicala reported that
bodies could be seen in the plane.

CELEBRATION OF
CHILD HEALTH
DAY In STATE
PurpOse To Focus Attention Of
Right Of Child To Health
And Happiness

plans for the celebration of Child
Health Day throughout Maryland, ana
the aupointment of DR.. J. II. Mason
Knox. Jr., Chief of the State Bureau
of Child Hygiene, as Chairman OF the
state Committee for the observance
hove been announced by DR.. X. ID.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health.
AS the first day of May-which is
officially designated by an Act Oh
Congress- as National Child Health
Dav-falls on Sunday this year, the
suecial Health Day exercises, ana
Nav Day celebrations usually held IN
tho schools or at community affairs
in connection with the observance OF
the day, will accordingly take place
at some favorable time before or al
ter the first of the month.
"The purpose of the nationwide OBJ
servance." DR.. Riley said, sis to focus
the attention of every individual and
of every community on the right OF
averv child to health and happiness;
to intelligent care; to protection a
eainst disease, danger from harm
full conditions; and to opportunities
for normal growth and development,
phvsical mental and spiritual; not
only on May Day, but every day, all
the wear round. In all of the plans,
emphasis is laid on community re-
sponsibility, as we'll as on that OF
fathers and mothers, teachers and
public health officials, for the health
and well-being of the children of this
country.
"President Roosevelt in his annual
proclamation issued in accordance
with the requirements of the Con-
gressional Act of 1928, setting aside
the first day of May of this year;
as Child Health Day, asks that special
attention be given by men and women
throughout the country, to ways by
which the child health work of public
and private agencies can be extended
and made more effective.
"May Day has always been assoc
lated with festivals and with growth.
The idea of dedicating the day to the
health needs of the children of this
country was proposed by Miss Julia
Lathrop the first Chief of the U. s..
ChiIdren's Bureau, in 1916. The
plans did not take shape until ten
years later when the American Child
Health Association began organizing
Child Health Day celebrations through
State and local organizations. When

person who recognized her because
she looked so much like Gladys.
They were soon brought together,
and had a happy reunion after an
extreme separation Of % years.
When they met, each had six fill
ings in her teeth, all in the molars
or bicuspids. In spite Of their long
separation they had similar tastes
and similar reactions to life.
Another case was that of Ed
and Fred, who lived without
knowledge Of each others exist
ence for Is years. Each had been
obsessed from boyhood with the
idea that he had a brother. They
lived a thousand miles apart, and
at the time they met both Of them

QUESTIONS FROM READERS
A. K: "Can you give me in
formation on the care of the teeth,
especially with regard to mouth
odor? My teeth are rather crowd
ed and, therefore, have some diff
ficulty in cleaning them thor
ougn1y."
Answer: The most important
thing about keeping q mouth clean
under these circumstances is the
proper use Of a small toothbrush
with tough bristles. A powder or
sandy toothpaste is probably best.
The brush should be laid against
the teeth and pushed in with q
slight rotary motion, systematical-
ly placing it between every tooth,
front and back, in the upper and
lower jaw. The best deodorant is
the use Of a weak solution Of
cf1loranine tea. Some tooth pow
ders now include this ingredient.

won and played another club for
which South had no trump, and
was consequently set one trick.
South's correct play was to have
led only two rounds of trumps,
after winning the second trick. A
shift should then have been made
to heart. If trump was led, he
could win and clear the hearts at
once, while still retaining a trump
for a club ruff.
If the opponents led a club in
stead of a trump, the declarer
would have been in position to ruff
in his hand. He could then have
given up a heart and ruffed the
return club. A diamond to the A
would have enabled declarer to
lead the spade @ to take East's last
trump.

DISCONTINUING TRUMPS

TRUMPS HAVE more purposes
than merely to constitute trick
takers and knock off losers. They
are absolutely essential, in some
hands, to furnish entries for some
other suit which is needed to get
discards of losers opposite them.
When this condition prevails, it is
well to discontinue trump leads for
