maintain the scholastic standards
of that far-off day when young
Belgians came to work with nour-
ished brains sustained by healthy
nervous system. All they attempted
was to maintain a routine for the
sake of order and discipline. After
IS minutes of mental concentra-
ton, yawns would pass through the
class like breath of contagion and
the students would doze of to a
semi-consciousness. Sometimes one
would faint from sheer weakness, so
quietly that it was hardly notice
able.s Organized sport has been
abandoned, for few have the interest
or desire to play. Many parents
put their children to bed in an
effort to curb their appetite and
conserve energy.
Vitality Index Dangerous.
The same distressing story came
from other schools. A directress of
large institution for girls said the
most serious consequences OF non-
nutritution were noticeable between
IL and 10 years, the period of great
est bodily growth. She gave me a
tabulation by Prof. Sacquemyns OF
10000 Belgian children between the
ages of and Is years which showed
that the index of their vitality has
fallen to a dangerous depth. This
was especially true Of those between
13 and Is years. And she spoke as
an expert dietitian when she ex-
planned how essential was regimen
of proteins, such as eggs, milk.
cream with their minerals of CAL
cium, iron. phosphorus and natural
salts. Above all, she explained,
fats are required for the assimila-
ton of vitamins; an ordinary daily
diet contained three ounces of ami
NAL fat and if less than two ounces
were eaten it meant a failure in
health.
At the orphanage of st. Vincent
de Paul in Marbles, where Sister
of Charity met me in little recep-
ton room adjoining the oratory.
two of the children had succumbed
that morning because they were del
icate and the facilitating effect OF
reduced feeding had been too much
for them. Others would follow,
the sister said factually, her face
alight with that strange compassion
one often sees on the faces of those
who live their lives for others.
I found the same invincible
courage everywhere 1 went, espe-
cially among the people whose eve
nings, when I lived among them,
were filled with dinners of many
courses drenched with fine old bur-
gundy. mo people on earth ever
ate more, or with more gusto, gen.
uine enjoyment and good appetite
than the Bruxellois.) One of the
oldest and best-known houses in
the Leopold quarter was that of
Prince Eugene de Ligne, where Of
ten 60 people would sit at table.
The great house had been turned
into a soup kitchen and now plain
pine tables and chairs stood in the
tapestried dining room.
Under the tall palm trees in a
great conservatory there was an
other long service table where ra-

These Are Two Little Girls
 Who Will Never Forget One Lesson In American History
By ELEANOR RAGSDALE NEA Service StafF Correspondent

Washington, Dec, l0-"T sat bee side my dad as he voted for war with Japan" Ten year old Ann Ploeser and i2-year-old Peggy Fen. ton are among the handful of kids who can make that claim, for there were only a few youngsters perched on parental knees or squeezed bee side Congressional fathers in the big leather and mahogany arm-chairs of the United States House of Rep- reSentNtiveS, as President Roosevelt called for 8 declaration of war on the Japanese Empire and their fathers answered that call Aye Aye"
 Yes, Ann and Peggy were there They knew it was Very Important Occasion, They got excused from school specially because they were CongreSsmen's ehildren-and being under sixteen, the floor rules allowed them to walk right through the milling, clamoring crowd fighting for gallery seats and tanning the marble Capitol railways, to Q special ringsido vantage point on the very floor of the House,
 But when you're ten years old even though you're smart, and In the fifth grade at sehool--it's hard to grasp Just what the ritual of voting on Q resolution to declare war means,
 T sort of knew what was going to happen" says little Ann, wrink- ling her snuh nose dubiously, but 1t was hard to keep track, The most

TALBOT FAVORED
 FOR NOMINATION
Several Towns Pledge Support of Delegates in
 Coming Convention

Wide support for Compensation Commissioner Joseph F. Talbot of Naugatuck for the Republican nom- nation for Congress in the special fifth district election January 20 was shown in town caucuses throughout the district last night. Most of the delegates were left unpledged, but strong sentiment for MT. Talbot was reported.
 Torrington and Wolcott delegates were instructed for Mir. Talbot, and he is assured of the votes of Wa terbury and Naugatuck. Many small towns caucuses were reported fave orable to the Naugatuck man.
 Woodbury, home town of Colonel Roy F. Rice, who IS opposing MT, Talbot for the nomination, did not give it's four delegates any instruc- tions.

 Sentiment for Mir. Talbot was re- ported at caucuSeS in Thomaston, Bethlehem and ether towns. Most Litchfleid county towns failed to give their delegates any instruc- tons.
 The caucuses Indicated that it will be extremely difficult to pre- vent MT, Talbot from receiving the nomination on the first ballot when the delegates gather in convention at the Elton December 20. The Democrats will hold their eo11ven. ton in Torrlngton the same day.
 Wolcott's caucus lasted only Six minutes, with Carl MattSon as mod orator and Francis Clark clerk. The delegates instructed for MT. Talbot nre J. Arthur Bergen and Frederick Franek, with sherman Watkins and William Pritt as alternates.

 demonstration after the almost un- aIimouS vote was taken.
 And she couldn't fully understand his explanation that he doesn't think going to war Is anything to clap about. War to her is exciting and fun--a little like the movies. PEGGY KNEW
 THE PRINCIPLES
 Give her couple of years more and she may be propounding some of the considered 9th Grade judg- ments of engaging, blue-eyed Peggy Fenton. Peggy'S heart beat fastest over President Roosevelts entrance, she admits. But she didn't let her emotion distract her from listening critically to his speech,
 1T think 1t was the best he has ever made" she asserts. Short and to the point, without too many des- criptive adpectiveS."
 She realized to the full the critical situation" because her father, like Ann's, is Q Republican -Dr. Ivor D. Fenton of PennSyl. vania-who has been earnestly op. posed to war except in case the U. s. should be attacked. Because of this critical situation" she eX- plains, she wanted dreadfully for the House vote to be unanimous, and "felt very funny when Miss Rankin came out with her lone, decided No"
 Both kids said 1t was scary and exciting to listen to the alphabet getting nearer the names of their fathers and of Miss Rankin. who, they both knew, might vote mo-
 Peggy was also aware that, since Representative Knutson of Min- nesota had voted against war in 1917, his vote was a critical one to listen for.
 Asked whether she felt like clap ping when the declaration was fin- ally passed, Peggy ponders a long time, earnestly knitting her very blond brows.
 "We-e-ll." she concludes, T did clap-and most people did. I don't really think, though, that 1t meant they were happy to go to war. I believe 1t just meant they all ap- proved of united action"
