(By The Associated Press. }


The French cabinet conferred to-
day on a proposed mutual assistance
agreement with Turkey, another link
in the British-French chain of al
liances, as German Propaganda Min
ister Paul GOebbels sounded a 'final
warning" to powers he accused of
seeking to "encircle" Germany.
Informed sources in Paris predict
ed that a Turkish-French accord
paralleling the agreement already
reached between Britain and Tur-
key, would be initiated next week.
Foreign sources understood that all
that stood between Ankara and Paris
was an arrangement for minorities in
Hatay, former Sanjak Of Alexandret-
ia, which France has administered
as part of her Syrian mandate. Hatay
is expected to pass to Turkey.
Goebbels' warning" that every
blow Of the British-French front
will be answered by us with deafen
ing counter-blow," emphasized the
gravity with which Germany views
efforts in London and Paris to bring
Soviet Russia into their lineup.
A dispute at Geneva over joint
Finnish-Swedish proposals to re-
fortify the Aaland Islands in the
Baltic Sea reached such proportions
it was feared that Finland might
quit the League. A scheme was re-
ported, however, to try to mollify
Finland by leaving to the Firms,
SWedes and Russians attempt to
reach a solution through direct nego-
tiations without the League Council
taking action until later.

Boy, A, Losing Weight
DESPITE Years Growth

DES MONIES, IOWA.-When a
four-year-old boy loses weight, most
mothers would head frantically for
the family doctor.
Not so with Mrs. Ford r. Vogel,
Of Des Moines, whose young Billie
dropped from 50 pounds on his third
birthday to 70 on his fourth.
Examined by doctors, who found
nothing organically responsible for
the abnormal weight, Billie has
checked his rapid growth and is
1engthening out. He weighed 80
pounds on his first birthday and 81
on his second.
During the last IL months he has
stopped his rapid gain," Mrs. Vogel
said. "Since then he has stayed
about the same except last fall when
he had the whooping cough and lost
weight. I agree with several doc
tors who believe he will outgrow
his tendency to put on weight"
