sure her child is getting enough of the
materials needed for building sound
bones. Daily sun baths and out-of-
door play will supply vitamin D. But
foods rich in vitamin D. especially the
fish-liver oils, are a more dependable
source all the year round.
The best way to give child his
daily supply of calcium is in the form
of a quart of clean, pasteurized milk.
In addition, this milk furnishes a gen.
erous amount of phosphorus, the other
BODYBUILDING material. Phosphorus is
also supplied by the egg yolks and
cereals that are added to the child's
diet at an early age; and later, lean
meats and fish supply additional phos-
phorus.
But even after a person is fully
grown, he needs a supply of bone
building materials. Although the bones
are no longer growing larger, they
must be maintained and kept in good
condition.
The supply of calcium merits spe-
cial attention because diets are so
often low in this mineral. In fact, the
Federal Bureau to Home Economics
recently made a diet study of city
families the country over and found
that less than half of the families
surveyed were getting as much cal
cium as they could use to good advan-
tage.

Labor Dove OF Peace

Leaders OF American Federation OF Labor Charge
John L. Lewis With Killing All Hopes OF
Peace In Labor Group
BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
limited Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Il
New Orleans, Nov. 20-(UP) -
Leaders of the American Federation
of Labor today accused John l.. Lew
is OF killing President Roosevelt's
new peace dove yesterday before it
could try its wings, and prepared
for protracted strife with the con-
gress of industrial organizations.
A series of moves at the Fedora
tons annual convention pointed
toward development of policy of
cooperation with the New Deal:
Encouragement of public sympathy
in the AFLs position in the labor
war, and settlement of differences
within the organization. The in
cluded:' scheduled meeting today
which may bring the International
Typographical Union back into the
Federation. 1t was suspended for
refusing to pay a one cent per cap
tia assessment to fight the CLIO. An
invitation to Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins to address the Fed
Grafton. her first since 1896. Pres
ident William Green's prompt ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Roosevelt's appeal
for new labor peace efforts and his
assurance of the AFL's full support
of the defense program; sharp
decline in resolutions critical of
New Deal policies; the enthusiastic
applause of Green's praise of Mr.
Roosevelt's foreign policies and his
defense of the president against
Lewis charge of war -mongering."
Everything is being done to pre-
sent the convention as a harmon
ious, peaceful gathering.
Trouble Is Brewing
Heads of several international un-
ions are muttering against a change
in the per capita tax plan which the
executive council has recommended.
1t originally was one cent per
member per year and an additional
one per cent per capita was added
after the CLIO was formed. The
council proposed to revise the con-
stitution to make the tax flat two
cents.
The assessment now is temper
airy; the revision would make it
permanent. But this was one Of the
inducements offered to the Typo
graphical union to return to the
fold. The other was taking from the
council and leaving to the conven-
ton the power to suspend unions,
unless they are engaged in dual
unionism.

THOMASTON BOY
DROWNED TODAY
Jackie barley, Three=Year
Old Lad Breaks Through
Ice On Crystal Lake
lSpeciaI to The Democrat

Thomaston, Nov. 20 - Jackie
Daley, three-year-old son Of Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Daley Jr. of Brad
street avenue, this town. drowned
this morning at Crystal Lake.
The little lad and companion,
Leonard Oldham, went up to the
lake which is not far from their
%homes late this morning. The lake
was covered with a very thin coat
of ice which is believed to have
proven very deceiving to the young
SterS.
Jackie fell through the ice, but
managed to get out and on his feet
again unassisted. but as he started
to walk away the ice gave way
again and he went through for the
second time.
The little Oldham boy, immedi-
ately sensing danger, shouted for
his mother, Mrs. Hugh Oldham, who
came running. She waded out and
brought the body in, applying ar
tificial respiration in vain. Mrs.
Oldham worked on the boy until
Dr.. j. H. Kane and members of the
fire department arrived. Artificial
respiration was applied from 11:15
q, m. to 1890 p. m.
= The body was removed to the
home of Mrs. Wallace Adams. Flu
neral arrangements will be an
nounced later.

MAYOR SCULLY IS
ASKING ECONOMY
City Dept. Heads Notified
To Be Sparing OF Funds
Rest OF Year

Mayor Vincent A. Scully today
notified all city department heads to
be as sparing as possible of city
funds during the remaining weeks
of the year. He asked that only sup
plies which are absolutely necessary
be requisitioned during the last six
weeks of the year, and even these
must have the approval of Budget
Director Thorvald Olsen.
The city will have a surplus at
the end of the year of approximate
ly $330,000, according to an estimate
made several weeks ago by the bud
get director. The mayors action is
seen as an attempt to prevent deN
partment heads from asking for adj
ditional funds that would make the
surplus lower than estimated.
Virtually all city departments
have remained within their budget
ed appropriations during the cur
rent year, and several have been
able to pile up large balances.
The mayors notice in regard to
economies for the remainder of the
year is as follows:
To All Department Heads:
All departments are hereby noti-
fled that only absolute necessities
for the conduct of their department
should be requisitioned for during
the balance of the year and that
before these acquisitions are honor
ed they must be approved by the
Budget Director.
All departments are expected to
cooperate with the above request.

London, Nov. 20-(UP)-An all
night Nazi aerial bombardment Of
furious intensity caused huge cas-

The raid was one Of the heaviest,
if not the heaviest, Of the war.
dispatches from Berlin said that
the great industrial city of Birming-

in England were attacked for 10
hours by more than 500 German
planes carrying 100000 pounds of

comparable to the devastation last
week of Coventry, which was bomb

he explained to why he could not surrender to
Britain naval bases the south and west coast of
Ireland which Britain restored to Ireland in 1888. He
made it clear at the outset mat he did not wish to
say anything which might foster i'll feeling between
Ireland and Britain. His consistent aim, he said has
been to secure understanding and good will But
he made it equally clear that Ireland will not change
her attitude about the bases.
Against Will Of Irish People
must be remembereda he said, shat these Irish
ports had been held by Britain against the will Of the Irish
people In giving them back Britain only restoring to
Ireland what her 1t act of restitution

But there is to be justice in the world at all such sacr
fees must be made.
Restoration Was Absolute
"To give us back the ports only on condition they
would be returned to Britain when she wanted them would
in fact be not to restore them at ALL And at the time of
the agreement in 1888 it made quite clear, both in
British parliament and that restoration absolute

Republicans To Kill All
Adjournment
BY LYLE G. WILSON
United Press staff CORRESPONDENT

Washington, Nov. 20-(UP)-Ju-
bilant Republican congressional
leaders who mustered the coalition
vote that prevented an adjourn
ment Of Congress, called today for
action on the Walter-Logan bill and
amendments to the National Labor
Relations Act.
Both have passed the House but
were stymied by New Deal leaders
in the Senate. The Walter-Logan
bill. which the Senate may take up
Friday, would subject the rulings
and regulations of quasi-judicial
agencies to judicial review. Amend
ments to the Labor Act were drafted
after an investigation Of complaints
by the American Federation of La
Dor and by employers.
OFF to Bad Start
Democratic congressional leaders
are off to a bad start as a prelude
to President RooSevelt's third term
with a Congress on their hands for
which neither they nor the White
House has a program. 1t was the
second administration effort to wave
Congress home, but in this second
one Mr.. Roosevelt said he was
strictly neutral. Rep. Thomas F.
Ford, D., Cal, warned the House
that 1t would be an 'insult" to the
president to refuse to adjourn.
House Majority Leader Joseph w.
Martin. Jr.. marking up another of
his legislative victories. proposed
action on the Walter-Logan and
Labor Act bills and that the Demo-
cratic leadership put the House
ways and means committee imme-
diately to work ON a thorough re-
vision of the tax structure. That
would be better, he said. than
