RATIONING
ANSWER TO COZ
FEE SHORTAGE

During the last week in October
there came out of Washington, d
c., a bit Of news that will affect
pretty much every breakfast and
dinner table in the United States
coffee is to be rationed. AS we are a
nation of coffee drinkers, this calls
for as much individual sacrifice as
the rationing of tea did for the
British. If dining at home, this will
mean only one cup of coffee per
person per day.
George c. Thierbach, president of
the National Coffee Association, said
that he felt the situation would only
be temporary and that two of the
main factors in the shortage were
due to restrictions on inventory and
the change to new types of con-
tanners.
From Brazil, the largest coffee
growing country in the world, comes
word that some forty Axis ships
seized in her ports would be recon-
ditioned and used to ship coffee to
the Unite States. Another story was
that ships of the United States that
carry cargoes to Brazil would be
used to bring coffee back to our
shores.
The people of the United States
have naturally enough considered
the coffee situation solely from the
viewpoint of how it is going to af-
feet their own tables. But there is
another phase that is vital to the
peoples of Central and South Amer
lea. Cut off their coffee market and
it will affect them greatly in not
being able to purchase needed sup
plies. There are IA countries thus
affected: Brazil, Colombia, Costa
RIGA, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Ell Salvador, Guatemala,
Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Peru and Venezuela.

Chairman OF
The Christmas
Seal Sale

William H. Staub has been named
general Christmas Seal Sale chair
man for the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, it was announced by
Doctor Samuel Wolman, president
of the association.
Mr.. Staub, also first vice-president
of the association, will succeed the
late Henry F. Baker who was Seal
Sale chairman for 20 years.
During his long active service for
the betterment of public health in
Maryland, Mr. Staub served as presi-
dent of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association from 1928 to 1880.
In taking over the general direc7
ton of the Christmas Seal Sale thru
out the State, Mr. Stubs said, 1t
is through the sale of these penny
Seals that we are able to fight the
white plague throughout the State.
During the past 35 years that we
have sold Christmas Seals the peo-
pie of Maryland have been so gen.
erous that we have been able to
lower the death rate from this dread
disease by more than two-thirds.
However, today, more than ever,
we must be vigilant tuberculosis
is rampant in occupied Europe, the
death rate in Great Britain has in
creased alarmingly, and the danger
signs are already appearing in this
country.
Here in Maryland, Mr.. Staub
continued, 1--WE are in the center OF
a vital defense area. Munitions and
materials necessary for victory are
being turned out in record time.
This is good but with it we have
the trailer camps, bad housing con-
ditions, long working hours, i'm
proper food, and all of the public
health menaces that go with boom
! fovvHss ssrs Slss'e n -Sssss, seas
I'VE are increasing our program
to meet this need and since our fin
ancial support is through the sale
of Christmas Seals 1 know that the
poole of Maryland will continue not
only to buy the Seals but also to use
them ON all Christmas Mail.
Tuberculosis is caused by germ
and is passed from person to person.
1t is for this reason that we use our
slogan No home is safe until all
homes are safe from tuberculosis .,
Mr.. Staub concluded.
It was also pointed out that these
Seals go on sale on November 23rd
and will continue until Christmas.
The new Seals picture an open
sleigh being driven across the snowy
countryside, and were designed by
Dale Nichols.
Besides being general Seal Sale
chairman for the State, Mr.. Staub
will also be in charge of the
sale in Baltimore City, Calvert, Car
roll, Charles, Garrett, st. Mary's,
and Somerset Counties. The chair
men for the rest Of the Counties are

A., 900 obstetrical records from Chi
cago hospitals over a period OF Is
wears, he said, reveals striking long
range trends in the body build OF
the newborn. Those born in 1929
tended to be broad and short. This
was followed by a rapid shift toward
slenderness in 1880. Then followed
a reversal of trends to broadness for
the years 1888 to 1898. followed by
a renewed decline in 1899.
This follows essentially, DR.. Peter
sen said, the sunspot cycle which
has been credited with affecting the
weather, the stock market and the
outbreak of wars. These body builds
he found, remain relatively stable
throughout life.
Sex of babies is determined in
part, DR.. Petersen's Investigations
indicate, by climatic conditions at
the time of conception. The trend
to maleness is in some way related
to periods of increasing cold and
the trend to femaleness with periods
OF greater warmth.
GenluSeS and criminals of both
sexes, he found, tend to be born in
the winter.
1T must be obvious" he said,
that a genetic mechanism cannot
be the only controlling factor, but
that environmental conditioning
must be considered. In general.
maleness is associated with a higher
metabolic rate, with greater organic
activity and with greater differenti-
alton. Femaleness. on the other
hand, is associated with the con-
verse. We must in some way ac-
count for these facts.
1T is possible that the genetic
balance may be less stable than
has been assumed and that SEEM
ingly minor changes may be suff1-
cient to push the balance in one
direction OF another. In recent
years it has been confirmed eX-
perimentally that the condition Of

be due to differences in hormonal
secretion and these secretions vary
