Nichols Field
And Manila
Raided Again
Nipponese Troops
Strike at Mindanao,
Southernmost Isle
BY ROBERT ROBB
Ini1 News service staff Correspondent

MANILA, Dec. 20. - Japanese
landing forces today attacked the
island of Mlndanao, southernmost
of the Philippine group. while Nip
ponese planes unleashed a new but
apparently unsuccessful attack on
Nichols air field, outside Manila.
/ Other Japanese planes, flying so
high they were hidden by the suns
glare. dropped several sticks OF
bombs on the outskirts of Manila
but were speedily driven off by
Ianti-aircraft fire.
Heavy fighting ragged on Minda-
mao Island after the Japanese
landed in force at Davao. some $50
miles southeast of Manila, an
official communique stated.
MANY JAPS THERE
Many residents of Davao are Of
Japanese origin. The hemp-pro-
ducing city was bombed when the
Far Eastern conflict opened, but
todays developments represent
the first Japanese attempt to
establish a foothold there.
The official communique gave
no details of the fighting, but il
was believed that the Japanese
have not yet succeeded in estab-
fishing a firm position in the
Davao region.
Army authorities disclosed that
patrol activity in the Vigan.
Aparri and Legaspi areas has in
creased on both sides" and il Was
indicated that several all
clashes had taken place in these
sectors.

NUTRITION IMPORTANT IN
DEFENSE PROGRAM

Medical reflections Of prospective
soldiers by draft boards. reported
to run as high as 28 per cent in
some areas. emphasizes the need
for more nutritional interest on
tho part Of young Americans.
says Milton Hut, president Of
the National Dairy Council.
with q high percentage Of the
reflections due to poor teeth" Mr..
HUT said. 1T Is obvious that CAL
cium deficiency must be present.
We have been preaching the story
Of more milk and dairy products
for better teeth for years. Mix Is
the best food source Of calcium
which Is necessary for good teeth.
but many boys after they begin
to feel q little grown up are In
clined to be careless about their
milk-drinking habits.
"A well-balanced diet Is essen
tial for national defense. Our
workers throughout the country
are aiding the defense program by
intensifying efforts to promote
better diets with emphasis on pro-
tective foods.
knowledge Of nutrition Is now
greater than 1t was In 1917. We
also have more foods available
now. Then. We had to preach food
conservation. Today. better con-
sumption Is the watchword. Mix
and dairy products should play an
important role in our new defense
policy"

Nov. then. let's look at It from
daughters viewpoint. She. In all
probability. does not expect her
mother to outlive her. while her
friend might. Also. the daughter
may wonder what her mother
would do with the car. whether she
would use It or turn It In for cash.
In the latter and most likely event,
she naturally figures that senti-
ment isn't very much involved.
The mother. who has made the
usual maternal sacrifices for her
child and who. I gather. u not fond
Of the friend. resents her daugh-
ter's generosity. I think she should
regard the whole matter imperson.
ally. for I'm convinced that she
would then zee that she Is making
much ado about nQtting. The value
Of the car at the time Of her daugh-
ter's death might be minus. not
plus.
Now. there's another angle TO
this rather remarkable letter. It
deals with the. daughter making
trips around the country with her
friend and paying all expenses.
after which abe asks her mother to
reimburse her. Wrong. all wrong.
Her mother Is perfectly right In re-
tuStng TO comply with her demands.

The usual and sensible plan,
when two girls 60 on . trip to-
gether, Is for each to pay her own
expenses. to divide the cost, or to
make some other amicable ar
rangement. For instance. the girl
who owns the car would. rather
naturally. pay out less money for
the expense Of gasoline, oil, meals.
hotels and 30 on, than the passen-
ger. Since she furnishes the car. tho
other girl should do her share In
other ways.
In any friendship, there should
be give and take. not all give on
one side and al take on the other.
I can quite see how the mother Of
the girl who u on the giving end
might be annoyed with her daugh-
ter and completely out Of sympathy
with her TOO generous impulses. It's
from this angle I'd like TO influence
the daughter. All this talk about

some sort Of dramatic gesture that
really doesn't mean Q thing.
