p1d1ty before others have made up
their minds.
President Emil Hacha Of the
Czecho-Slov central government,
by cracking down on the leaders of
the autonomous Slovak regime, gave
Hitler one Of these chances.
A little over year ago Chancellor
Kurt Schuschnigg of Austria gave
him a sudden opportunity by sud-
den call for an Austrian pleblscite
after he had received very different
orders in a talk with Hitler. The
result was Anschluss of Austria and
Germany-the first anniversary of
which greater Germany celebrates
Monday, with Hitler attending cere-
monies in Vienna. Schuschnigg
was taken into custody, and still is
detained.
Now the Czechs apparently have
put themselves in a position where
they eventually either will have to
rescind the action of President
Hacha and grant the Slovaks what
ever they demand or risk being
snuffed out as an independent state
by their great German neighbor.
Germans Take Strong View.
Germans took strong view of the
current Czecho-Slovak situation, al
though a government spokesman
said today that Hitler probably
would simply observe events for q
while before committing himself.
German authorities apparently
wanted the Vienna anniversary cere-
monies to pass of smoothly Monday
before the Reich takes any definite
action in Czecho-Slovakia. The gov
ernment had not replied to note
from DR.. Joseph Tiso, the ousted
Slovak premier, protesting against
his removal.
Whatever happens in Czecho-
Slovakia, Germany probably will

From military viewpoint, domi-

mean that Germany in case of need
could enter Poland across a virtually

Palestine Showdown
Is Expected This Week

JERUSALEM, March II P).-All
classes of Arabs and Jews felt today
the coming week probably would
bring showdown in the entire Holy
Land situation, although hope for
harmonious settlement of the long
Arab-Jew conflict seemed as remote
as ever.
Both sides waited for a climax in
London, with Britain ready to i'm
pose" a plan.
Arab hopes of a definite move to-
ward their independence were
balanced against profound pessi-
mism of the Jews. The widespread
tension which led to the 1886 riots
and which has been accentuated by
three years of revolt and terrorism
was still apparent today.

New Paf1eys Fail
To Break Deadlock
On Palestine Plan
Macdonald ToIks With
Jewish Delegates to Be
Continued Tonight
3Y the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 11-New talks
between Colonial Secretary NAL
colin Macdonald and Jewish dele
gates today left the Palestine peace
conference still deadlocked over
Britain's plan to make the Holy
Land an independent Arab state.
The possibility of some last-min-
ute compromise was not ruled out,
however, since British spokesman
said the talks. begun Unexpectedly
yesterday at Mr.. MacDonalds re-
quest, would be continued tomorrow
night.
The spokesman added that the
colonial secretary wished to dis
cuss with the Jews points raised in
their final appeal" memorandum
submitted to the British govern
ment last night.
There also was inconclusive dis
cussion of the possibility of creating
q federated Palestine of Jewish and
Arab cantons.
Receives Arab Moderates.
After the Jews departed Mr.. Mac
donald received the Arab moderate
leaders, Ragheb Bey Nashashibi and
Fakhri Bey Nashashibi. with whom
he was said to have discussed the
Jewish memorandum.
The memorandum was understood
to have stressed that the idea of an
independent Palestine State was
wholly unacceptable and that any
proposal which failed to guarantee
the organic growth of a Jewish
national home in the Holy Land
could not be considered by the
Jewish delegates as a basis for
further discussion.
Drafting of Plan Ceases.
Mr.. MacDonald's experts mean
while suspended drafting Britain S
final plan" for peace in Palestine
which both the Arabs and Jews will
be forced to accept if they fail to
reach compromise at the St.
Jamess Palace conference table.
The government decided last We'd
nesday to impose its own Palestine
control plan after a month of con-
ferences failed to compose differ
ences between the Arabs and Jews.
This plan was expected to provide
for the creation of the Arab state in
Palestine with Jews constituting q

In the talks today the Jews were

The so-called "sea Lapps' live
along the coasts of Lapland. They
differ from other Lapps In several
ways. partly by the fact that their
main work is to catch fish instead
of to care for herds of reindeer
Their homes are huts with wooden
framework and 4 sod covering
Mainly because fresh water is hard
to obtain, the Lapps spend little
time making themselves clean. In
fact, they are in the habit of wear
ing their clothing tmade of wool or
reindeer hides> month after month
without changing it. They even 60
to bed with their clothes on!
All Lapps-whether men or wom-
en-, boys or girls-wear trousers. The
women and girls wear short skirts
over the trousers, sometimes trim
ming them with red or yellow braid.
Clothing of this kind has been "in
style" for hundreds of years.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Soturdov ToIk

In our series about Sweden I did
not say much about the Lapps. They
make up only about one -hundredth
of the people, but have some inter-
esting customs which I wish to de-
scribe today.
There are more than 5000 Lapps
in Sweden. and nearly all of them
live in the northern part of the
country-up above the Arctic Cir
Gle. This means that they are in
the Land of the Midnight Sun"
A favorite sport of Lapp children
is to play reindeer" They butt
against one another, making be-
lieve they are reindeer bulls" fight
ing in the mating season. Such a
game would not be a pleasant one
for most children over here, but the
little Lapps seem to like 1t as much
as we do baseball.
Caring for reindeer herds Is an
important work of adult Lapps. also
of the older boys and girls. Many
of the animals are broken to har-
ness and will pull sleds loaded with
people or goods. Their owners use
the milk Of reindeer cows as a drink
and for making cheese. They eat
the meat of reindeer and turn the
hides into robes and coverings for
tents.
Lapps live in parts of Norway
Finland and Russia. as we'll As in
Northern Sweden. Their homeland
is known as "Lapland" It is not q
nation. but region which stretches
across boundary lines.
The Lapps are short people, the
shortest in Europe. The average

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Food You Eat Greatly
Affects Your Appearance
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER
Nutritionist for the State Board
of Health.

II every child were to come t,
school some morning after eating {
we'll planned and unhurried break
fast, 1t is very likely that the teach
ers would be very pleasantly sur.
prised at the sudden increase in the
average ability to learn. A good mea
is really a necessity after no food
has been taken for over twelve
hours.
The breakfast study which was
conducted here in Delaware in 1881
showed very clearly the enormous
discrepancy between what we ac-
tually feed our children for break
fast and what we know they should
have. This study included 6.511 Del
aware school children.
Out of this number 1870 went to
school with no breakfast at all.
There was no milk to drink in 63
per cent of these breakfasts. In 81
per cent there was no fruit. in 46
per cent no cereal
II is practically impossible to
have a good diet unless each meal
provides its share of the days needs.
The results of this breakfast survey
show that the average school child
in Delaware Is already handicapped
before he even starts the day. Is 1t
any wonder that health authorities
tell US that every other school child
in Delaware is probably suffering to
some extent from the effects of poor
ly chosen food?
Milk, fruit, dark cereals. and eggs
are the best foods for a school child's
breakfast. 1t is true that these cost
money Do they cost any more than
bacon. scrapple. ham, or pancakes
and sausage? The survey showed
that many families could afford
these.
Until we patiently correct. meal by
meal. these errors in our eating hab-
its which are directly responsible for
crooked legs, deformed chests. sus-
ceptibility to infection, digestive dis
ease and general poor health. we
will continue to sacrifice our chill

do much toward correcting these er-
rors in our food habits.

of the conditions existing in the
Germany of today. II was very in

much. Later the lodge entertained
us all at a nearby restaurant. a fit

of the events of the evening was the
presentation of a gold pin. given to
one of their members for having
brought in five new members during
