munity against such troubles; but this soon wears off, and the mother may have a case of measles or humps on her hands.
 While these diseases usually are not fatal, they leave many children weakened and with defective hear ing, poor eyesight or inalnutrition.
 This does not mean that parents should fret too much over whether Mary or Johnny gets the measles, whooping cough or other so-called children's disease, but by all means avoid exposing them to such mada- dies as long as possible.
 Diphtheria and small pox are something else. They are extreme ly dangerous, and parents should have the child immunized against diphtheria before the ninth month and vaccinated against small pox during the first year.
 Some doctors advise immuniza- ton against scarlet fever and whooping cough. There Is merit in both, but these measures have not been accepted generally by the public. It is a fact, however, that where immunization has been carried out systematically in in- stitutions, scarlet fever has not been so prevalent. If 1t does ap- appear 1t shows up in Q miider form.

received a clear-cut statement of
United States policy toward the con-
f1ict and promise that AL Ques-
tions deriving from the German at
tack will receive immediate and
friendly attention"
State Department sources said
Mr. Welles explained this country's
position by calling Mr.. Oumansky's
attention to President Roosevelt's s
statement at a press conference
Tuesday, pledging all possible aid to
Russia.
In pursuance of that policy, Mr..
Welles informed the Ambassador,
the United States will give any re-
quest for material aid from the
Soviet Union immediate attention
and as favorable consideration as
possible.
