for whatever may happen"

POOR HEALTH
DEFEAT CAUSE
EXCESSIVE DRINKING OF
ALCOHOL ASCRiBED
AS CONTRIBUTING

Vichy, Jan. 21-UP-Coincident
with the announcement that the
French state radio stations are to
start series OF health talks three
times weekly, an officially inspired
statement on the subject flatly
stated that one of the principal
causes of the recent French de-
feat was due to our poor state Of
hea tn"
Everybody knows the state
ment said, the political. mil tarS
and moral reasons for our defeat.
but few know anything about the
health reasons"
For a number Of years mortality
In France never got below Is per
thousand, whereas in England the
figure stood at -, in Germany at IL.
and in the Scandinavian countries
at 10.
lnfantiIe Deaths High
Infantile mortality was cons der
able and France lost 10000 chill
dren yearly.
The proportion OF young men
called to the co'ors who were ex-
empted from military service as un-
fit was 20 per cent in 1884 and 1885,
Thus one-hfth of French youth
was not fit for military duty.
The semi-ofilcial statement de-
clared that "in five years OF peace
tuberculosis. syphilis and cancer
killed more Frenchmen than Ave
years of war"
Much OF the respons bility for
these deaths was ascribed to Excess
sive drinking OF alcoholic aver
age yearly consumption slightly
more than 20 quarts per capita,
while the consumption in other
countries was never more than II.
Ratio Of Cafes High
In France there were approx
matey 100000 cafes, one for every
so inhabitants. The proport on in
Germany was one for every 2i0 ard
in Britain one for every 430 inhab-
itants.
In 1892, for example. 25S infants
died yearly out OF 1000 born in
France. To-day. the figure has been
reduced to 80, which for 100000
births equals $4,000 deaths. De-
spite this reduction. the figure IS
cons dered to be still far too high
in view OF the steadily declining
birthrate in France.
The three principal reasons for
the high infantile mortality were
said TO be alcoholism. syphilis and
overwork OF mothers-to-be.
Tuberculosl also is a great
culprit and medical circles est.
mate that 10000 to 10000 persons
died needlessly yearly Many could
have been saved by increased
medical control and a greater gen.
eral measure OF hygiene, it was
contended.

STYLE BID MADE

ELABORATE FASHION SHOW
WILL BE PRESENTED
FEBRUARY 10

Los Angeles, Jan. 2l-UP-South-
ern California Is expecting a new
rush and if it materializes new
fashion capital may arise in the
Far West.
Buyers and manufacturers from
the AZ other states, from south OF
the Rio Grande to Patagonia and
from the Pacific isles have been
journeying to California for the
past few months. searching for a
new source Of fashion ideas.
Leading Southern California
fashion experts, as a result OF the
influx of buyers, have been pre-
dieting for months that Hollywood
soon would replace Paris as the
worlds fashion center. And they've
started a movement designed to
turn that prediction into a fact.
The Los Angeles Fashion Group,
a unit OF an all feminine interna-
tional style organization, is plan
ing to mobilize at least 70 creative
style ideas and present them at an
elaborate fashion show on Feb. 10.
The show. which will be preceded
by a dinner dance, will be called

The Fashion Group, composed OF
some so key women in fashion
work from merchandise managers
to advertising directors and stylists,
has been working for weeks on a
list of CALIFORNIA; most noted style
creators.
Each OF the designers will be in
vited to contribute a special ere
alton which is to serve as an indi-
cation Of future style trends. None
of the designs will be for sale, since
the show is to be non-commercial,
but they will serve as future idea

Coordinated Psychology
May Find Behavior Key

Chicago, Jan. 21-UP-Dr. Mark
A. May, director of Yale Institute
OF Human Relations, advocates CO.
ordinating Freudian and behavior
istic psychology with sociology
and anthropology TO reach a great
er understanding of human behay-
ior.
In the behavorial Sciences he
told the 35th annual convention of
the American Sociological Associa-
ton. "the common problem is to
understand. control, and predict
human behavior at all levels and
in all complexities.
THE behavior of a group is to be
understood in terms of the behav-
Tor OF the individuals who compose
It. and behavior Of individuals is
to be understood in terms of how
1t was acquired and the environ
mental context in which it occurs.
80 eoio~oa # hum"n behavior
must therefore proceed first, from
tne standpoint of individual psy-
chology, and second from the
standpoint, of social environment
DR.. May said.
By co-ordinating these two con-
cepts. he believes. the science of
human behavior eventually may
develop a general theory as unity
ing as those in the physical and
biological sciences.
He said experimental attempts
to combine concepts derived from
individual psychology with sociol-
ogy and anthropology had already
been made at Yale Institute.
"A learning theory OF behavior
has been tentatively formulated
which at the present moment
seems quite promising DR.. May
said.

b-B company
proposal putrid

The employees of Brown &
Brockmeyer have DEMANDED
that their contract as originally
drafted be considered. The counter
proposal of the company is abso-
lutely rotten in every respect. The
counter proposal of the company
does not give the employees any
consideration at all. The counter
proposal would not change the
lousy working conditions and the
low wages that are in effect now.
The company certainly cannot
expect to have a high morale
among the employees, with the
disgusting situation that is in
existence at Brown Brockmeyer
at the present time. The en-
ployees of Brown rockmeyer
intend to have a decent place in
which to work, and to have
good working conditions.
