Mrs. B. F.-Between the ages
of 60 and 10, and indeed thereaft-
er, there is a gradual decrease in
the need for energy. All the body
processes function more slowly.
The amount of proteins, minerals
and vitamins is also less, as no
new tissue is being formed. An
excess of food is less readily ham
died by the body in later years, so
it is advisable for older people to
guard carefully against over-in-
diligence in food.
Miss b. w. JAS rule, no
special consideration need be CIV
en- to the amount of sulphur in the
diet. That is because sulphur in
food is found almost entirely in
the form of protein, and in a
well-balanced diet which supplies
sufficient protein, the require
ments for sulphur will be ade-
quately met.

ably expressed by the satirist, Alex

You are my Valentine, l know.

Your face and form wher'er 60.
But get this through your leather

A year is all you'll get Of me,
For after that you'll get the gate
And never mair my face shall

In later years st. Valentines day
has developed into a time for ex-
changing gifts, though the comic
valentine has retained most of the
favor it enjoyed 30 or 40 years ago.
In those days nobody in the COM
munity was immune from receiving
one of these anonymous shafts of
criticism except members of clergy.
The name. Valentine, comes, from
a religious Of the Third century
who reconciled lovers by his interest
in their lives. Because Of this in
terest, and because his life ended in
martyrdom. he became the patron
saint Of lovers.

Only Clergynen We're Immune

Why st. Valentines day should at
once be an occasion for fearful SEN
timentalism and raucous buffoonery
is not the mystery it appears at first
glance.
The bleeding heart decorated with
old lace and scented with lavender
once a favorite token of love-
sprang from an early Roman festi-
val in honor of the goddess, Febru-
alta Juno, which Christians abolished
by way of making it less objection
able. But then it became too senti-
mental, which paved the way for the
cheap comic valentines which
sprang into favor late last century.
As celebrated in England and Scot
land, st. Valentines day brought
maids and bachelors together at a
festival where they drew lots to dis
cover which maid would be each

nary engagements lasted for a year,
during which the young man was
bound to the service of his valen-
tine. Sometimes they ended in real
engagements but more often one or
the other party was dissatisfied with
his lot. This gave rise to custom

Children Need Healthy Mothers
Mothers must give attention to
the children's health. But let them
give some consideration to their

Is Your Child lazy7

We often hear mothers complain
that their children are lazy in
cold weather and they seem
to have less pep and energy than
in other seasons. If by that they
mean that their children are
less active, it may be that this
can be attributed in part to the
bleak, shorter days that do not al
ways invite outdoor play. But
sometimes a child displays such
a reduction in his activities as to
appear indolent. Then the moth
er must seek the physical or emo
tional factors that may be re-
sp0nsible. For true laziness sug-
gests a body that is not function
iry normally.
Quite possibly the child's diet is
not meeting his bodily require
ments. An undernourished child
usually tires easily and is dis
inclined to exert himself. The
food may be adequate as to guam
tity, but not as to quality. For
example, a diet that is too highly
concentrated, contains too little
bulk or cellulose, may cause a
tendency to faulty elimination.
This, in turn, is frequently re-
sponsible for lassitude. The rem
edy is often a simple dietary
change-the addition of a salad to
the daily diet; or possibly the
use of stewed dried fruits in addi-
ton to a fresh fruit or fruit juice
daily. OF course, the child should
also have two servings of vegeta-
bles besides potatoes, one of
which should be of the green
leafy variety. Also a quart of milk
daily; breads and cereals, at least

Guard Against Frosfbife

Over-exposure must be avoided,
particularly in cold, damp wealth
er. For under these conditions,
doctors warn, there is always a
danger of frostbite. They say that
whenever the temperature falls
below 8 degrees Fahrenheit, chill
dren should not be permitted to
play outdoors. If they do, the cold
may act upon the tissues so that
part Of the body is deprived Of its
blood supply. This is most likely
to occur in the fingers, toes, nose
or ears which thereupon become
frozen. The combination Of wind
and low temperature is especially
dangerous and frostbite frequently
occurs at temperatures up to IA
degrees Fahrenheit when there is
strong wind.
Mothers should be on guard
against frostbite when the tenn
perature is below "a degrees Fahr-
enheit, however, and at all times

be satisfied with less than half a

particularly true of those who are

is wise to have children come in

Background for the Coming Crisis:
France VS.. Italy in Mediterranean
Rebel Victory in Spain Leaves
II Duce Free to
Press Demands
By JOSEPH W. LaBINE


AS the first month of 1899
drew to a painful close all
Europe sat watching bombs
burst over Spain. Barcelona,
the Loyalist capital, fell by
inches before Rebel troops
who claimed to be Spaniards
but came largely from Italy
and Germany. One of the
closest observers of this holo-
caust was Edouard Daladier,
premier of France.
For M. Daladier knew that
once Barcelona fell, Italy's
hands would be freed from
their Spanish obligation. Then
Benito Mussolini would be
ready to press the program
of expansion which he hopes
will make Italy the dominant nation
Of the Mediterranean.
France would be the chief victim
Of this expansion because French
and italian interests clash at sew
eral key points in northern Africa.
Each wishes to rule the Mediter-
ranean, France because she has
done SO for 20 years, and Italy be-
cause her Fascist government be-
lieves this is Italy's destiny"
What Of the Future!
Moot questions are therefore
pushed to the front as Spain's civil
war draws near its inevitable Rebel
victory. Will the romantic Mediter-
ranean be Europe's next battle
ground? VIII France and Italy come
to blows over proprietorship of Tuni-
STA, Corsica, Nice and Savoy? Will
their conflict over Suez canal pro-
prietorship and the Adds Ababa-
Djibouti railroad draw Great Brit
ain into the battle?
The background for this crisis-to-
come dates to 1915. That year, in
The treaty Of London, England and
France won Italy's aid against the
central powers by promising to split
Germany's African colonies should
the Allies win.
That Italy once had a grievance
Is the opinion of most European OBJ
servers. At Versailles the treaty of
London was completely overlooked.
Not until 1924 did Great Britain get
around to ceding Italy the unimpor-
tant territory Of Jubaland, and that
under protest. Stubborn France held
out until 1885 when Premier Pierre
Laval agreed to give Italy a worth
less strip Of desert south of Libya,
another between French Somaliland
and Italian Eritrea, and the island
Of Doumeirah.
Treaty Never Ratified.
The Mussolini-Laval treaty had
few merits and even less honor. II
was never ratified and therefore the
coded territories have never been
turned over to Italy.
Since 1896 Italy has been busy
consolidating her Mediterranean
gains and fighting the Spanish civil
war. II the past two years have
nurtured imperialistic aims in the

during the winter, see that chill
dren are warmly clad. This need
not mean that they are so bundled
up as to preclude the possibility
of active play. Suitable clothing
consists of garments which pro-
vide warmth and protection
against dampness, without con-
striction at any point.
Two layers of wool, such as
that provided by a wooden sweat
er and playsuit are considered
preferable to one too-bulky gar
ment. Feet and hands should, Of
course, be well protected.

Don't Overhesf the House

Only a little less serious are
the consequences of dry, over
heated indoor air. 1t is unfortu-
nate that SO many people keep
their rooms entirely too warm in
winter. This not only widens the
gap between indoor and outdoor
temperatures, but may be ex-
tremely irritating to the delicate
membranes of the nose and
throat. Most authorities consider
an indoor temperature of about So
degrees Fahrenheit satisfactory.

TOe E. Brown,
Rave
In Comedy
$1,000 a Touchdown
Metropolitan's
Attraction

Fans of Joe E. Brown and ad-
mirers of his broad brand of humor
should find his latest adventure a
happy affair. In $1,000 a Touch
down." the new film at the Metro
politan, Mr.. Brown finds himself
the object of the affections of Mar
tina Raye, president of her near
defunct college and coach of the
football team procured to keep the
college from becoming completely
defunct. Knowing none of the an
swers to the problems involved in
any of these situations, Mr.. Brown
has quite time.
81 900 a Touchdown" is for the
most part just routine slapstick. of
course, but then Mr.. Brown and
Miss Raye are vigorous people who
can inject some life into almost
any old routine. Besides, the en-
tertainment value of this film is a
matter of the personalities con-
cerned and not of its intrinsic merit.
These personalities do romp about
with much gusto, and Miss Raye
in a couple of scenes is Martha
Raye who never looked lovelier.
And if you sigh at that and remark
that beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, we still answer that we're
glad we have these particular eyes.
Miss Raye, of course, does not
look charming very often; most of
the time she appears distracted.
She is just the sort of person
who would fall in love with an actor
who can't remember a face and
who is terrified by audiences; just
the sort who would tour the coun-
try to hire a college football team
to return with only II men and 10
of them backfield stars. And Mr..
Brown appears distracted all of the
time, never looking lovely.
The climactic football game, with
the college lads playing the pro-
fessional Green Tree Pickers, the
only opponent they can sign, has
couple of very mad interludes.
And other diverting moments are
those few of Eric Blore's and Miss
Raye's singing of II Spell Love
With a Capital You" sung for. no
particular reason except that she
can shout a song. H. M.
