of all deaths. Disabilities from ac- ctdents in children under 15 years of age are as frequent as those caused by acute communicable dis eases of childhood. AS many chil- dren under five years of age are killed by accidents as those be- tween five and 15.
 It is a serious commentary upon our social organization that while we have been saving more and more children from the gaStro-inteStinal diseases, smallpox, diphtheria, scar let fever and other acute diseases we have not at the same time made as great gains in the prevention of accidents in our homes and on the public highways.
 In those places where special at tention has been paid to accident prevention encouraging results have been obtained, but there is still con- siderable room for improvement in wide stretches of the United States.
 Young children suffer from all kinds of accidents, principally in the home from burns, falls, suffo- cation, poisoning, cuts and electric shocks. Young children are likely to put any object at hand into their mouth, ears or nose and this may result in serious trouble. This points clearly to careless habits or un- safe conditions in the homes.
 More viligance is needed in keep ing matches away from children and in protecting them against gas stoves and open grates as well as from tubs of hot water.

THE WOMAN WE LEFT IN
 THE SUBURBS

THE SUBURBS
 Remember the woman who went to town on iodine? We started to go along with her, but just as we reached the suburbs we recalled what Father Hippokrates taught us, and managed to escape with our ethics only slightly damaged.
 Hypothyroidism or hypothyroi- dea, functional impairment or de- ficiency of the thyroid gland, ac- counts for characteristic changes in the physical and mental personal ity, all due to the lowered metab- olism rate or the slower combus- tion or oxidation when the thyroid glands slackens in function.
 In animals that hibernate, the thyroid function declines to a low level. The changes observed in the hibernating animal - slow heart beat, slow, shallow breathing, low body temperature, somnolence, &C., cumulaticn of fat - are attribut- ableb to thyroid gland deficiency. Similar changes in human beings are characteristic of hypothyroidea.
 Although there are other causes of hypothyriodea, we know that lack of iodine is a common cause of the condition. In some parts of the country the soil, the water, animal and vegetable food grown on the siol are all poor in iodine. People living in these areas and depending mainly on the food locally produced inevitably suffer from shortage of iodine - unless they take special care to get enough iodine in one form or another apart from the ordinary food and water.
 We left the woman who was go- ing to town on iodine when we reached the suburbs. We took fright when she began to describe the symptoms of hypothyroidea.
 But merely by way of defini- tion its seems proper to say that hypothroidea commonly manifests itself by accumulation of surplus fat, especially fat pads above the collar bones, undue sensitivity to cold when ordinary folk feel com- fortable enough, drowsiness or tendency to drop asleep at almost any time of day, melancholy or sadness instead of the normal cheerfullness of the individual weakness of the knees, slow pulse subnormal body temperature, ache or pain back of head or between shoulder blades, appearance of be- ing older than actual age, dryness and falling of hair, premature grying of hair.
 In most instances hypothyroides occurs in young women of thirty ol thirty-five.
 Not only school children, but young women, unmarried and mar ried - young matrons seem espe- cially liable to develop hypothyroi- dea-need : suitable regular SUD- ply of iodine ill one form or anoth- CT to keep them well.
 That is why I offer the Iodin Ra- tion - a pamphlet giving Instruc- tions for Taking the Iodin Ratior will be mailed on request if you in. close a stamped envelope bearing your address. If that is too mucf trouble, then let me say that drol of ordinary tincture of iodine ono, or twice weekly in a glass of wa ter, the year around, or a drop in { glass of water every day in eacl third month of the year (say ii May, August, November and Feb ruary) is about right for every body.

 Grandmother's favorite remedy for the spring fever most of us al- ready have, or are just about to get, was sulphur and molasses. Modern doctors often recommend vaca- tion, change of scenery at this time of year.
 Nobody is going to take sulphur and molaSses of course. And very few can get away for spring holi- day, however much needed it seems to be.
 GETTING OUT OF THE MID-WINTER SLUMP
 However, the beauty minded woman, determined to look and feel her best, finds some way to lift her. self up and away from end-of-win- ter doldrums.
 She may find the answer to the problem in a new hat-a glamorous, exciting one. Or a new hairdo. Or in having a tailor or dressmaker go over her wardrobe, letting out a seam here, taking tuck there, strengthening hens and replacing snaps, buttons and crippled slide fasteners.
 /. Or she may get rid of spring fever by changing her diet. For one en- tire week she may manage to eat not a single thing that she has been in the habit of having during the past few months.
 To follow her example in this re- spect, simply make a list of the vegetables you have been having week in and week out all winter. Then search the market for vege- tables not on that list. Failing to find any or at least too few to count, look in recipe book for new ways to cook and serve the vege- tables you have been eating.

Movement in Cultural
Philanthropy

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec 9.-The Carnegie
Corp. says there are far too many
universities. colleges and voluntary
organizations for worthy purposes"
In the United States.
Henchforth, Corporation President
Frederick p. Keppel announced yes
terday in his annual report, the
fundation will allocate financial
grants among such institutions
under survival Of the flttest" plan.
During 1939-40, the corporation
gave 1892 ,682 in grants to libraries,
education, the arts, research, pub
ncations and other endeavors, Mr..
Keppel reported, adding that be-
cause of low interest rates and new
obligations 1901 would be tight
year.
The corporation. with an endow-
ment Of $135 900 900, was founded by
Andrew Carnegie in 1911 "for the
advancement and diffusion OF knowl-
edge and understanding among the
people of the United States and the
British dominions and colonies"
Mr.. Keppel noted conservation

in the United States, and declared
that to replace depleted organiza-
tions Of more ancient origin. new
foundations, some Of them Of sub
stantial size, are being created, and
the original capital Of others en-
larged."
IN any case," he said. there is
every reason to welcome the growing
evidence of what may be called
conservative movement in cultural
philanthropy"
Speaking of educational founda-
tions generally, Mr. Keppel said it
was possible that calls on public
funds-"enormously increased" by
the defense program-and on private
funds for relief overseas. might to-
gether operate to reduce the funds
available for educational and
scholarly purposes" but added that

Defense Strike Laws
Debated on Air by
4 House Members
Agree on Restrictions if
Absolutely Necessary;
Views on Need Divided

Four House members agreed last
night that, if absolutely necessary
in maintenance of the national de.
fense program, Congress should re-
strict the right to strike, but they
disagreed on whether any such re-
striction Is needed at this time.
!, Speaking on the American Forum
OF the Air coast-to-coast Mutual
network broadcast from the Willard
Hotel, Representative Smith, Demo-
crat, Of Virginia contended that re-
cent strikes in vital defense indus
tries clearly indicate the need for
regulation.
He proposed legislation, similar
to the Railway Labor Act, under
which a waiting period Of 80 days
would be fixed before a strike or
lockout could be called in a defense
industry. Then, should conciliation
and arbitration fail to bring a set
tlement, Mr.. Smith continued, the
President, should issue a statement
pointing out the parties responsible
for the impasse.
Representative Voorhis of Cali
fornia maintained that if the Gov
ernment must intervene in the in
terest Of defence its restrictions
ought to apply to industry and
finance as well as labor. He said
that for the Government to single
out labor, implying doubt of labor's
patriotic devotion, would be un-
democratic and injurious to national
morale.
Representative Hobbs, Democrat,
OF Alabama asserted that no one
questioned labor's patriotism, but
that some regulation of strikes was
essential because of the disturbing
influence of Communists and fifth
columnists. Young men are leaving
their homes and jobs to begin mill
tary training at $21 a month, he
pointed out, but they have no
thought of strikes.
Rising costs of living, according
to Representative Keller, Democrat,
of Illinois, justify many labor
demands for higher wages, and
there should be no curb on strikes,
he insisted, unless there Is also q
curb on rising prices. Since under
existing laws, defense and labor
authorities have settled IS wage
disputes without loss Of q single
hours work, Mr.. Keller continued,
there is no necessity for further
legislation at this time.
