London. June 16-(AP)-TheB Brit
ish government declared today that
any attempt to restrict British rights
in China would bring immediate
and active steps" by Britain. The
foreign office took the unusual step
Of issuing a cOmmunique to express
concern over statements by Japanese
spokesman that Japan demanded
that the British authorities COOP
crate with the japanese in the con-
structiOn of a new order in the
East"
The communique said: British cir
cles cannot but take a most serious
view of the further demands which
have been made, and which raise the
widest issues affecting the rights of
all those powers which have treaty
rights in China. They would mean
the abandonment under threats of
force of the policy which His Ma
jesty's government have followed in
the past, which is the same as that
Of other great powers with interests
in the Far East"
The communique was issued as the
Japanese-BritiSh crisis in China con-
tinued, with the Japanese army
blockading the British and French
concessions in Tientsin.

authorities may not maintain their
refusal to give further consideration

y. S. Charge Talks
Crisis With Japs

Tokyo, June -(AP)-The
American charge d'affaires in
Tokyo, Eugene DOOman, discuss
ed the British japanese cOntrO-
versy at Tientsin in a call at the
foreign office today, and govern
ment circles believed this might
be a preliminary step toward med
itatiOn efforts by the United
States.
DOOman, however, said he took
up the Tientsin situation "unOf-
ficially," since he had received
no instructions from Washington,
and declared he had taken no
steps toward meditation.
DOOman spent nearly an hour
with S. YOshivawa, head of the
American section of the foreign
office. Authoritative sources had
indicated that Japan's terms for
settlement were capitulatiOn by
the British on all fronts.

Volunteers Play With Youngsters

nurses in the children's ward. A vol- unteer often feeds a child. or tides her up. Nicely combed hair with a pink or blue bow would please any little girl. Of course, these sick chill dren enjoy being read to, and there is always child well enough to play games.
 The Junior League of Waterbury, Inc, has organized and financed a group of volunteer workers in oc- cupational therapy to hasten the re- covery of patients in the pediatric ward of the Waterbury hospital.
 Short Time Patients
 The majority of patients in this ward Is what is known as short time patients. They are there for a few weeks, at the most and are not so much in need of treatment through occupational therapy as are chronic cases. These short time pa- tienst are given mainly simple, quickly finished projects, such as paper cut outs, crayoned wall hang ings. small articles made of leather, sewing, knitting, clay modelling, etc.
 The chronic cases of rheumatic fever, osteomyelitis and so forth, are given more advanced work. These projects might be listed under head ings of, weaving, leather work, wood carving, ship modelling and many others.
 Under this treatment the patients interest is caught and held. It keeps him from worrying about his condi- tion and gives him the exact amount of physical exercise and mental ac- tivity.
 No patient is given occupational therapy unless it is ordered by his doctor and each case is studied in- dividually. Special care and atten- tion is given in explaining the treat ment to the family of patients. Mrs. John s. Coe is chairman of Hospitals Volunteers. Mrs. J. Heartt Raub is chairman of the group studing and practicing Occupational Therapy and Mrs. Frederic R. Kel- logg is in charge of the volunteers, as Junior league arvisor, at the Day Nursery.

Preventing Temper
 Tantruns

First find out what is the cause of the outburst of bad temper. Sometimes more sleep is all that is needed. Many a child has been un- justly thought an ill-tempered child when he really was only Q tired child. Improper food, over-excite- ment, and lack of play and exercise are other causes. Children want to be busy every waking minute. They need plenty of play as well as plenty of rest.
 Some children develop the habit of flying into fits of bad temper as a means of attracting attention or of obtaining their desires. Never give in to a child or let him have what he wants during a temper spell. Ignore him when he loses his temper and make it clear that he gains nothing by 1t. Do not shout at him or show any anger. The more he loses his temper, the more important it is for you to keep yours.
 Of course, the child is not always

MRS. E. BURNLEY POWELL, JR. Junior League Publicity Chairman

Working directly with the chil- dren is form of volunteer service which is done by members of the Junior League of Waterbury, Inc. ,x Five volunteers go to the Day Nursery on Kingsbury street every week to work and play with the pre-school children who are left there by their mothers during the day. It is their job to run nursery school for these children, who very in number from six to sixteen and In age from IS months to five years.
 They are guided by the help of one of the staff of the Day Nursery, but in this capacity they play games with the children, teach them sing ing and dancing or take them into the garden for play.
 This is new activity for the League. It is hoped that it will be expanded in another year with the volunteer taking entire responsibil- ity, or perhaps incorporating new ideas of her own.
 This is the only work that is done directly with the well children.
 In the Waterbury Hospital, how ever, there are three fields of volun- ter service.
 Every Wednesday morning there Is girl who goes to the hospital to entertain the children who are waiting for their tonsils and ade- holds to be removed. Reading books, of telling stories is found to be di- verting at this time.
 Another new branch in the hos pital is the hospital volunteer. Their duties are numerous, but one of the

Sun Baths! Directions for Enabl- ing Child to Enjoy Full Benefits of
 Sunlight.

Sunlight is necessary for the proper growth of the baby.
 The beneficial effect om sunlight is best obtained when t he rays reach the skin directly.
 SunbathS may be begun when the baby is about three or four week.: old-oWdoor sunbaths for the spring and summer baby, indoor sunbaths given inside an open win dow for the late fall and the win ter baby.
 First Week:
 l. Roll up baby's sleeves, ex- pose arms to sun 5-10 minutes.
 2. Increase time three minutes each day.
 Second Week:
 l. Continue to sun arms.
 2. Expose legs for five minutes.
 3. Increase Time three minutes each day.
 Third Week:
 l. Continue to sun arms each day.
 ?. Expose chest and back to sun five to ten minutes.
 3. Increase time three minutes, each day,
 Fourth Week:
 l. Give sunbath without cloth? ing (f during summer for about 20 minutes. ss.
 During July and August give sum- bath outdoors before II a. m. or af- ter p. m. when the sun is not so hot.
 Always be careful not to burn the skin.
 During the winter months give Sunbaths indoors at an open win- dow, the baby's crib or carriage placed in the sunlight. If the room is heated and the door closed to prevent drafts, the baby need not be wrapped. Expose face, hands, arms and legs for about 10 minutes.
 Protection of eyes-When the baby is in his carriage the hood should be lowered very slightly so that just his eyes are protected. If the baby lies with his feet directed away from the sun and his head slightly raised his eyes will be ade- quately protected from the rays by the shadow cast by forehead, eye brows. and eyelids. < Later on the bonnet will offer enough protection for his eyes.
