RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

A preventable disease, diarrhea,
is responsible for more baby deaths
in Delaware than any other single
disease.
The prevention of this disease
lies in proper feeding and the
maintenance of good sanitary mea-
sures.
A well fed baby is more resist
ant to the infection which causes
diarrhea. In well fed baby
there is good muscle tone of the
intestinal tract, so that any infec-
ton can be more readily overcome.
Breast fed babies are much
more resistant to diarrhea than
are bottle fed babies. The curds
of human milk are fine and readily
accessible to the gastric juice. The
curds of cows milk are much larg-
er and tougher. The gastric juice
can not penetrate them so easily
and large undigested particles may
remain to irritate the intestinal
tract.
All milk and water given to
children under two years of age
should be boiled. Boiling will kill
any infectious bacteria which may
be present. Milk which has been
boiled will form a finer, more di-
gestible curd.
After boiling, the milk and water
must be kept cool. If there is no
refrigeration they may be kept in
a closely covered container set in
a pail or stone jar of cold well
water which is changed frequently.
Freshly opened evaporated milk
is very safe to use and is very di-
gestible
During warm weather babies
need more water. Unles water is
offered them frequently they may
quench their thirst by drinking too
much milk. Overfeeding can cause
diarrhea.
The greatest incidence of di-
arrhea is in the summer. This is
also the time when there are the
most flies. Flies can spread the
diarrhea germs either directly or
by communicating the food. Good
screening of homes and careful
covering of the food are most i'm
portant.
Do not treat any case of di-
arrhea lightly. A physician should
be called Immediately and his ad-
vice be followed implicitly if we
are to successfully stop this pre-
ventable loss of infant life
The State Board of Health would
be glad to send you without charge
its pamphlet on infant diarrhea.

They Helped Get Food to
Island; Receive Gifts

NEW YORK.-Pitcairn islanders,
wishing to reward radio operators
here for helping them get food in
lean time last summer, sent ma
tive-made basket to Mrs. Dorothy
D. Hall, Springfield Gardens. N. Y,
who picked up their message Of
need. They also sent a native-made
cane to Victor de Ghett, Of Brooklyn,
who worked with her at her radio.
The gifts arrived on the freighter
City of Delhart.
The ships radio operator, c.
Scruges, told De Ghett by short
wave last night that the gifts
were ready, and De Ghett, with
friend, went to the pier to get them.
They found the ship surrounded by
coast guard craft and United States
treasury agents were on hand. The
coast guard had picked up the mes
sage and suspected a smuggling
plot. Explanations followed and the
gifts were turned over upon pay
ment of AZ cents duty.

EGG PRODUCING
& MARKETING
New Bulletin Dealing With
Problems of the POul-
trymen Issued
SURVEY TAKEN IN STATE

A new bulletin dealing with the
problems of producing and mar
,keting of high-quality eggs has
been announced by the University
of Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, according to word re
ceived here from extension head
quarters in Newark.
This bulletin, Producing and
Marketing Good Eggs" was writ
ten by H. L. Richardson, Extension
Poultryman at the University OF
Delaware, and is being distributed
this week.
It takes up the various factors
which determine the production Of
good eggs including breeding, feed
ing, and management. 1t also
takes up the problems of holding
eggs for shipment to large whole
sale markets, as well as shipping
methods.
According to Mr.. Richardson,
Delaware poultrymen have, for
several years, been faced with diff
ficulty when marketing their eggs.
This new bulletin makes public, for
the first time, results of a survey
made by H. S. Palmer, former Ex-
tension oPultryman at the Univer-
sity of Delaware, who is now oper-
ating a commercial poultry plant
near Glasgow. These surveys were
made in 1885 by Mr.. Palmer to de-
termine the exact quality of eggs
that are now being offered for sale
by the commercial poultryman Of
this state.
AN effort has been made to pro-
vide, through this bulletin, an ap-
proach to the solution of the prob
lem of adverse market conditions
which is now being faced by Della
ware egg producers" Richardson
said. Included in the bulletin are
colored Illustrations showing how
eggs should look when being can
died for the various standard
grades"
This bulletin may be obtained
without cost by writing H. L.
Richardson, University of Della
ware Extension Service, Newark,
Delaware, and asking for Exten-
sion Bulletin No. 81, Producing

RED CROSS SWIMMING CLASS
10000 Expected to Learn To Swim
in Delaware This Summer

10000 Expected to Learn To Swim
in Delaware This Summer
At least 10000 Delaware resi-
dents adults and children - are
expected to learn how to swim this
summer through the classes spon-
sored by the Delaware Red Cross.
The twentieth annual swimming
campaign, undertaken by the state
chapter, began June 5, with in
struction for children. The cam
paign will continue to August 25.
These classes" Lammot dupont,
Jr., chairman of the state chapter
explained, ARE conducted free of
charge. We have competent in
structors at all classes. We aim
to train advanced swimmers in life
saving and to teach beginners how
to better themselves as swimmers.
The underlying philosophy is to
cut down the number of water ia
talities that occur each summer
throughout the country. Each
year, hundreds of thousands flock
to beaches, river resorts and swim
ming pools. Thousands go canoe
ing, fishing, and boating. 1t is of
prime Importance that we have
more people who know how to
swim and take care of themselves
in the water" Mr.. DUPONT stressed.

matching the fast automobiles of
criminals with equally speedy We
hicles manned by drivers trained in
pursuit tactics. The continued
construction of a network Of good
secondary roads Joined to main
is making it possible for
the country dweller to enjoy as
adequate police protection as his
city cousin. Sections Of the Unit
ed States in which the lawbreaker
can feel safe from pursuit are
steadily becoming fewer.
Last summer, according to Chief
Walter Williams, superintendent
of the Illinois State Highway Po-
lice, the Middle West saw its
greatest blockade. The Easton
brothers, two Idaho youths, shot a
police officer in Indiana and fed
into Illinois in a stalen car. I'm
mediately the state highway police
Of Illinois went into action. Radio
kept them advised of the pairs
progress. The shooting took place
at $40 p. m. on June 26. At 8.52
the next morning, the police closed
their records on the case. One
brother had been shot down and
the other placed under arrest.
This same systematic procedure
is being successfully utilized to re
cover stolen goods and automobiles
and to locate missing persons. Be
tween June, 1886, and November,
1888, the Illinois state police re-
covered nearly 100000 worth of
stolen cars and other property.
What is being accomplished in
Illinois can be duplicated in other
states. The building and mainten-
ance of good secondary roads will
bring police protection to citizens
living in the most remote places.

When Land Bobs Around

The owner of a parcel of land on
Stradbroke island which disap-
peared several months ago as a
result of erosion now insists that his
property has reappeared on Main
Beach Point, and that he intends to
reclaim it. His principal difficulty
is the fact that his shifting land has
shown up in different parish from

buckwheat are .aised.
Dangerous Plants.
'iAll plants exhibit a relatively
high degree of tolerance to seleni-
un. Wheat in the field never
shows any signs of selenium injury
and some of the native weeds store
enormous concentrations of seleni-
um without visible injury.
1.-The most abundant and danger
Gus of the seleniferous plants is the
two-grooved milk vetch belonging to
the pea family and which, with its
handsome purple blossoms, is the
most attractive wild flower on the
Great Plains. 1t often forms solid
stands covering several square
miles. This plant destroys thousands
of cattle and sheep every year. One
record shows that $50 sheep died
within "a hours after being pastured
in field of these plants. On a sin
gle ranch the losses have amounted
to 5000 sheep during a period of 10
years.
''Seleniferous vetches of several
different species are widely distrib-
uted throughout the Great Plains
area. Other potent selenium accu-
mulators are the woody aster, which
resembles the ordinary ox-eye dali
sy; Stanleya, or princes plume; and
oonopsis. All are toxic to animals.
Laboratory experiments at Co
lumbia university have shown that
selenium greatly stimulates the
growth of the native indicator
plants. These results suggest that
selenium may even be essential for
their normal development.
Remedial measures, according to
Professor Trelease. include map
ping the seleniferous regions; with
drawing the most toxic areas from
cultivation; finding, if possible, suit
able crops and live stock; prevent
ing over-grazing by live stock, since
range animals, if given a choice
tend to avoid the most poisonous
vegetation; destroying native sele
mum accumulators and converters.
and establishing tolerance limits
selenium for wheat and other foods
that are marketed.

to prevent occurrences. Each one
of the three hundred and six con-
victed of drunken driving lost his
permit for a time at least, and while
two hundred and thirty, including
mere suspects, were arrested in
connection with hit-and-run cases,
seventy-six permanently lost their
drivers licenses.
It is most probable decided de-
crease in hit-and-run violations
would be noted if the penalties were
made much more drastic than those
for drunken driving, although pun
ishment for both should be increased.
1t is believed that in many cases a
driver who has been drinking will
take a chance on escaping after an
accident, however slight, rather than
run the more certain risk of arrest
for intoxicated driving.
There is little choice between the
callousness of the two types OF VIOLA
ton, but the lack of ordinary de-
cency which allows driver to leave
an injured victim lying in the street
should be met by severe punishment.
Evening star., 1939-02-16
Increased Penalties

I.he potential menace represented
by the person who drives while
under the influence of liquor, and the
recent series of hit-and-run cases
have focused attention on a traffic
problem which will be considered in
Congress within a few days.
The sooner action is taken the
better. These two classes of traffic
law violators constitute the most
dangerous menace on the streets. It
is regrettable they cannot be classed
as rare, but the facts are they run
into hundreds each year. In 1898
there was a conviction nearly every
day for driving while intoxicated,
and two hundred and thirty were
arrested for leaving after colliding.
While public attention undoubtedly
has been focused more strongly than
usual on this form of criminal
cowardice, due to the brutality of the
tragic case which resulted in the
death of Congressman's son, the
number, judging from last years
record, Is not unusual. It is to the
credit OF the police and traffic au-
thorities that, in spite of the volume
OF such cases, and of the compare
tive mildness Of existing penalties,
they have done all they legally could

Takes Issue With
Foreign Policy Critic.

Foreign Policy Critic.
To the Editor Of The Star:
In the name of every patriotic citizen
OF these United States, resent the
shabby insults inflicted by one R. H.
Thorne Of Baltimore, Md, in his letter
to the editor, upon the editorial page
of The Evening Star of Washington,
D. c., on February 10, in disparagement
Of American valor.
The letter was entitled: Says Amer
lea Should Avoid Next War" Very
true, thus far. We desire peace, be-
cause it is sane and Christian. We wish
to preserve human life and civilization
and culture to the world. America will
never be the aggressor; but we shall so
adequately and so strongly arm that
interfering nations will do we'll to keep
their distance. The democratic spirit
OF America does not cringe at the crack
OF the whip of the swollen-chestedd dicta-
tors OF Europe. each pooh bah in his
serlo-comic self-aggrandizement De-
mocracy does not breed fear.
Native Americans know the difference
between statesmen in politics and mere
politicians. A native American, worthy
of the name, does not Judge the spirit
of the Nation by the -and-seek
policies of certain few elf-exploiting
Senators and Representatives, whose in
competent, if not insincere, views at this
time harass, delay and hinder our legis-
lative body. We Americans know their
selfish motives and heed nothing they
say. Our President, Franklin D. Roose-
welt, is patriot and fearless states
man, and thinking Republican and DEM
ocratic legislators support him on his
foreign policy. Patriotic Americans trust
these mems judgment, knowing their
wisdom and sincerity. R. H. Thorne
would profit by careful study of our
President and all like patriots, if he
intends to remain in the United States
of America. EDNA BISHOP DANIEL.

products, is real problem. The only
way to meet an unfavorable balance
Of payments, such as that in 1887.
is to ship gold or reduce imports OF
goods and services. Shipping gold is
suicidal when a nations currency
backing is reduced to the danger
point.
Perhaps the key to solution Of the
problem lies in Senate approval OF
the sanitary convention which has
reposed in the Foreign Relations
Committee since 1885. That would
permit the sale in this country of
some Argentine beef, which is now
excluded, and would salve one burn
ing Argentine resentment.

A CommendubIe Project

Congress has just had laid before
1t a bill jointly sponsored by Senator
Robert F. Wagner, Democrat, of New
York and Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers, Republican, of Mass
achusetts, providing for, practical,
concrete action by the United States
to aid the most helpless victims of
Nazi persecution-the children of
Germany's unwanted population.
Without disturbing the immigra-
ton quota system, the Wagner-Rog-
ers bill would permit limited num-
Der of German children to be brought
here, when foster parents are ready
to give them homes. It limits the
age of the youthful immigrants to
fourteen years and under, so that
they can be no burden on the labor
market-a phase of the project which
is approved by both the American
Federation of Labor and the Con-
gress of Industrial Organization. 1t
would allow annual admission for
two years of maximum of 10000
children, many of whom would be
quite young.
Several responsible national Or
CARNATIONS, representing various re-
ligiouS denominations, stand ready
to cooperate in placing the young
refugees in homes throughout
the entire country. That seasoned
American agency of humanitarianism
in many fields, the American Friends
Service Committee, has rendered it's
complete support" and expressed its
willingness Ito assume any RESPONSE
bility within our power in carrying
out any provisions of the legislation
requested of us"
The Star believes it speaks for
Americans of every class and creed
in commencing the Wagner-Rogers
proposal to the prompt and favorable
attention Of Congress. No Federal
appropriation is required. No child
would be brought to the United
States unless adequate guarantees
were made for his or her support and
until he or she is assured a proper
home with people of his own religious
faith-Jewish, Protestant or CATHOLIC.
1t is estimated there are about 5O,-
900 German children from whom Sc
lections might be made-those who
would emigrate without their par
ents. A little more than half of these
are Jewish. The plight of the par
ents of these youngsters is tragic.
They have been forced out of en-
ployment, ruined in business or
thrown into concentration camps.
They face life utterly without hope.
Great Britain, the Netherlands and
Belgium have opened their doors to
increasingly large numbers of these
unfortunate boys and girls. The
United States now has opportunity to
do likewise under conditions which
safeguard every essential interest in
volved.
