 UP WITH GERMANY

Berlin, May 31-(UP)-Germany and Denmark today signed 8 treaty of non-aggression fixing the perma- nency of their common frontier and marking another step in Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's diplomatic drive to offset the Anglo French Soviet peace front"
 Sweden, Norway and Finland po- litely rejected Hitler's offer with the explanation that they desired to re- main aloof from all European align ments. They added, however, that they did not regard themselves as menaced by Germany and that they appreciated Hitler's Pacific gesture.
 Denmark decided to enter into a non-aggression treaty with the Reich, however, because she is the only Scandinavian state having a frontier with Germany.

 Result In Arrests

 Operating Without License-F of $1O Imposed

Charged with giving two false alarms, in violation of city ordi- nance, Nathaniel Manganaro, 8, of 169 Wood street, was discharged by Judge Edward Mascolo in City Court today when no evidence was pre- sented establishing his guilt.

 Health Impairment
Dr. Spekter Speaks on Accident Resulting in Crpplng of Youths; Proper Measures Protect Preserve Health

may lead to falls and should be corrected.
 Prevention
 The use of sound health measures aid in the prevention of such crip- bling diseases as arthritis and rheumatic heart disease. Adequate protection against chilling, sufficient rest and exercise, nourishing food the removal of infections of the sinuses and tonsils and avoidance of contact with others having acute illnesses are measures which Doctor Spekter said should be a part of the daily health program. Such simple measures as adequate amounts of cod liver oil and sunlight will avoid deformities caused by rickets.
 Although little is known about absolute prevention of crippling conditions with which child may be born, it was stated that about fifty per cent of children born with cleft palate, harelip and club foot may be entirely cured and the others may be so treated that progressive increase of the deformity is prevent ed. To accomplish this it is neces- sary that treatment be given during the pre-school age. If deferred until late in childhood the chance for cure or marked improvement is greatly diminished.
 Call Physician
 During the summer months, if a child is i'll with such symptoms as fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck, diarrhea, or constipation he should be put to bed immediately and a physician called. These symptoms may not necessarily indicate infan- tile paralysis but Doctor Spekter advised playing safe since absolute bed rest and protection of weak muscles during the acute stage of the disease are essential in the pre- vention of crippling after effects.
 The State Department of Health is prepared to treat persons under twenty-one years of age having these crippling conditions if care is not obtainable privately or through local resources.

Boosting Tourist Trade Is
 Ruth Bryan Owens New Job
She's DOllar-a-Year Woman in Travel Service Bureau
BY GERRY DICK

.NEA Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, May 31. = Ruth Bryan Owen Rohde, daughter of William Jennings Bryan, returns to govern ment service as dollar-a-year woman in the new federal Travel Service.
 A bill pending before Congress would make the set-up, a bureau of |. the Department of Interior, permanent and allow $100,000 a year for expenses.
 The idea is not only to encour- age Americans to travel in their own country but to boost tourist trade from abroad. In addition, both the "good neighbor" and business appeasement" policies are involved; 1; for the plan aims at better under standing between nations of the Western Hemisphere and also seeks to aid private business in the United States.
 EUROPE BANGLES
 TRAVEL LURES
 Most European governments have had propaganda bureaus for the tourist trade for some time. From Italy. for instance, you can get att tractively printed brouchures on Italian art, on the Italian lakes, on Venice, and so on.
 England distributes a wealth of literature on the cathedral towns and the lake district. France has phamphlets to tell you all about the country's seaside resorts. Russia sends out material on the Moscow Art Theater, the Russian Ballet, But, until now, the American gov- ernment did not offer any compe- tition.
 Travel Service is not tourist agency, and won't compete with pri- vate business. It won't sell you tick cts, conduct a where to go" service, or maintain a question and answer bureau. By compiling information about the use of American industrial products in the recreational market 1t hopes to be of considerable value to railroads, steamship companies, air lines. and auto manufacturers.
 It will publish fancy booklets, distribute motion pictures, con- duct broadcasts to arouse new in- terest in the marvels of the re- public.
 QUICK ACTION
 FOR EDUCATION
 The sort of thing the service will do is illustrated by a recent incident in a nearby Latin- n-American country School children in a certain town decided to decorate their school rooms with maps. photographs, lith- ographs and what not of new world republics.
 They got their material from the Latin republics without trouble, but when they applied to the United States consul for material about. this country, he had to enlist the co-op- erative effort of several government departments here to get the mater ial. Travel Service will be able to fill such requests more promptly and smoothly.
 United States at the first inter. American conference on travel In San Franeisco. Here representativ of all the new world nations, includ- ing Canada, will compare notes on ways to make travel on the Ameri- can continents easier and more at- tractive.
 Travel Service will have three offices--on in Washington, one in New York and ope in San Fran- cisco. lts literature Hill De distri- butcd abroad by Department el commercs and Hials Department ofkIoiaIA
