Los Angeles, March 3. - (By Radio Telephone to San Francisco - (UP) - A devastating flood swept through Southern California today from the rain- drenched mountains to the ocean, taking a high but un- known toll of lives and caus- ing damage estimated at $25 100000. AS suddenly as it swirled in during the night, it be- gan receding shortly after dawn. At 4 a. m. c a. m.. EST) the Weather Bureau in this stricken and isolated city announced: Tine crisis has passed" Authorities esti- mated the dead so far at 35, but there was no way to obtain confir- nation. Some bodies were known to have been washed to sea by the torrents that tore through Los An geles; others to have been buried in landslides in the surrounding l hills. Some aaIhorlCles believed tue eventual toll would be much higher as scores were missing.
 Families Fled
 Thousands of families fled from the onslaught of waters roaring down from the mountains through the streets of Metropolitan Los An geles, its ring of suburbs, and towns as far as 40 miles away. Hundreds were marooned ill buildings and rooftops, some in grave danger.

COMPROMISE PLAN
 IN AUSTRIA MESS

Vienna, March 3.-(UP) - Dr. Arthur von Eeyss-Inquart, Nazi min- Lster of interior. has effected a working compromise with turbulent Nazis of Styria Province, it was re- ported today, and hope rose that a threatened show down could be avoided.
 Seyss-Inquart, Nazi but devout Roman Catholic and intimate friend of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, went to Graz, capital of Styria, to confer with Nag leaders.
 It was reported that he had agreed that they might wear their Nazi emblens and give the Nazl salute provided that they refrained from anti overnment activities and joined the governmental fatherland front, promising to support it mor- ally and financially. This would give the Nazis the same status as is enjoyed by monarchists. Schusch- nigg would continue to be the sole leader of the combined fatherland front.

vifamin D and Ricketts,

Vitanin D is associated init
mately with the prevention and
cure of ricketts,, the most devastat-
ing nutritional disease of children
in temperate climates. Indeed, it
is the moderate, and in some cases
the small amount of sunshine in
the temperate zone that accounts
partially for the presence of
ricketts,.
Historians have given us reason
to believe that this disease may
have existed in England even be-
fore the Roman conquest. Ger
tainly it appeared in serious
form, both in England and in other
North European countries, in the
Seventeenth century. In fact, early
literature refers to it as the Eng
ish disease, and the early at
tempts to fathom its causes were
written in Latin by English and
Dutch doctors during the 1600's.
In ricketts,. the child's head
grows large and out of proportion
to the body, while the leg and
arm bones, and in severe cases
even the ribs, are bent and twisted
out of their normal shape.

Father speaking. When he
was a kid, Santa Claus brought
tin trains and crockery dolls,
tinker-toys and wooden wagons

American toy makers protested
when psychologists and educators
told them that jacks-in-the-box may
be amusing, but certainly not very
instructive. Armed with fancy fig
ures about child behavior and the
need for toys that would develop
young minds, these self-appointed
uplift societies forced their wares
on toy manufacturers. For several
years American youth was showered
with Christmas gifts it was sup
posed to like, but didn't. Sorely
puzzled, the psychologists were slow
to find remedy: why not ask chill
dren themselves what kind of toys
they wanted?
So they tried it, and discovered

Readers of this column may
have observed that the discovery
of a number of the vitamins came
about chiefly through the efforts of
investigators to discover a method
of treating or curing obscure nu-
tritional diseases. In most in
stances, however, carefully con-
trolled laboratory experiments
played their part in reaching the
ultimate goal after some clue had
been found as to what the mystic
rious substance might be that
helped to control a battling nutri-

need new clothes to fit their in
creasing stature. They've decided
to give children sensible toys, play
things built to stand abuse, to de-
velop strong bodies and agile minds.
Having made peace with the edu-
Gators and psychologists, they've en-
listed designers, chemists, profess
sional inventors and engineers to
help meet the new demand.
When buying toys this Christmas,
you'll be wise to follow the six OBJ
jectives prescribed by experts, who
say a child should have at least one
type of toy from each classical
ton:
Physical exercisers.

Vifamin D Requirements

So important is vitamin D con-
sidered, that the United States
Children's Bureau advises that
cod-liver oil or some other form of
this vitamin be supplied to all
babies, beginning at the age of
two or three weeks.
Mothers should be guided by the
advice of their physician in de-
termining when to start the use of
vitamin D preparation and what
quantities to give. But if they
want to give their babies the bless
ing bestowed on them by the sci
entists who discovered vitamin D,
they must not overlook this impor-
tant substance.
AS guardians of the health of
both children and adults, mothers
should see to it that vitamin D
is supplied regularly through the
use of eggs and salmon; irradi-
ated foods and those fortified with
vitamin D; and if necessary, fish,
liver oils or concentrates.
