Hitler Snubs Brit. Ambassador
 Neville Henderson

BERLIN, April 26 (R) - Sir Neville Henderson, Britain's am bassador, after waiting two days, succeeded in conveying to Hitler the message he brought from Chamberlain regarding the Brit ish motives of introducing peace time conscription. The ambassa- dor however, had to content him self with seeing Baron Von Weiz saecker, Secretary of the State Foreign Office instead of Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop with whom he desired to talk. At the same time the British subordin- ate was received only by subor dinate.
 Hitter himself was welcoming Foreign Minister Ginca Marko- vich of Yugoslavia, the foreign minister of the country which pledged loyal cooperation with the Rome-Berlin axis regardless of the content of the British mes sage which was not made public.
 German official spokesmen made it plain that Hitler's speech for Friday, replying to President Roosevelt was eonplet ed and nothing Chamberlain had to tell him would change what he intended to say.

new INDUSTRY
FOR THIS area
The Lowly Poplar to Supply
Work for Thousands With
New Process.

Industrial leaders of the northwest
have already taken the first steps in
the commercial production Of alpha
cellulose from aspen (poplar) trees in
northern Minnesota forests by starting
a committee to see what can be done
in the matter of financing the con-
struction of a manufacturing plant
somewhere in the heart of the big aspen
tree country of northern Minnesota.
This is expected to create giant
industry from untapped natural re-
sources of the state, according to War
rem S. Moore, prominent Duluth real
estate man and former city commits
sioner. There are today 100000 acres
of poplar forest in the state with an
estimated 4,250,0O0 cords of wood of
merchantable size. Besides this aspen
grows like a weed and it Is believed
that there is sufficient aspen in the
area to furnish all the alpha celluloSe
the world could use at the present
consumption.
The University of Minnesota, under
the direction of DR.. Lloyd H. Reyerson
and r. E. Montonna, after five years
of research and laboratory tests, has
perfected a technical process for turn
ing poplar, hitherto considered value
less, into an important product for the
manufacture of rayon, cellophane, lac
quer and many allied chemical sub
stances.
The financing of the University re-
search has been provided by the North
west Research Foundation, comprised
of a group of business leaders of the
state and including several Duluthians
who have been interested in the pro-
ject from the beginning. The Duluth
group includes George P. Tweed, presi-
dent of the First and American National
Bank; Fred w. Buck, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Mr.. Moore,
all gogetters.

NelU Program for Babies
Launched in Minnesota.

A new effort to save the lives of pre-
mature babies was announced by OFF,
Gals of the Minnesota State Medical
association today as a special feature
of the associations May campaign to
improve the chances Of Minnesota
mothers and babies for life.
The Associations May campaign of
public education on care of mothers
and babies is planned to coincide with
lectures on the subject for doctors to
be held in 10 different centers in the
state and also with the national OBJ
servance of May as child health month
in the United States.
Mothers and babies have better
chance of surviving the ordeal of child
birth in Minnesota than in any other
state since their death rates are lowest
here. In spite of the statistical records,
however, 742 mothers and 1905 babies
under one month died in the state last
year and the doctors have planned their
campaign in the hope of reducing those
numbers still further in Minnesota.
The new plan to reduce deaths among
premature babies calls for an especially
trained nurse to train hospital Staffs
all over the state in the latest methods
of care for the babies who are born
too soon, most of them from two weeks
to one month before the end Of the nor
NAL pregnancy period. These methods
were developed by DR.. Julius Hess of
Chicago and are capable, in medical
opinion, of making great savings in the
lives of these delicate babies. The pro-
gram will be launched this month under
the auspices of the physicians, the state
department Of health and the Mime
sofa Hospital association.
The death rate for Minnesota mothers
was % last year for every 10000 live
births For babies the rate was 80 for
every 1000 live babies. The greatest
hope for further reduction in these
rates lies in better and earlier pre-
natal care for mothers and in reducing
the large number of deaths, 704 last
year, among the babies who are born
too soon.
