QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

c. R.:-Is there any connection
between diabetes and nephritis,
Is there any danger Of getting
nephritis from taking too much
insulin? What causes coma from
diabetes? Does coma from diabetes
result in nephritis?
Answer; Nephritis is a disease
of the kidneys; diabetes is a dis
ease of the pancreas. They have
no necessary connection, although
sometimes middle-aged people de-
velop both at the same time. Insu-
lin will not cause nephritis. Insu-
lin is natural secretion of the
body: all normal bodies have insu-
lin in the blood all the time. Lila
bette coma arises from incomplete
burning Of the fats. 1t never re-

President Induced Churchill
To Fly Home to Avoid Subs;
Lost Convoy Coming Over
By a Stan Writer Of The Star and the
North American Newspaper Alliance.

By Stan Writer Of The Star and tn
North American Newspaper Alliance.
Winston Churchill has ar
rived safely back in Britain
and some Of the hair-raising
details of his journey to and
from this country can now be
told.
1t was literally at the very
last moment-before leaving
Washington late Wednesday
evening, January 14-that the
decision was made that the
British Prime Minister and
his party would return to
England by air.
Mr.. Churchill is not over-fond
of flying. He would have pre-
ferred to return to England in the
battleship that brought him to
this country. But the known
presence of enemy submarines
near the North Atlantic Coast,
coupled with the pleas Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and air-minded
Lord Beaverbrook. plus the dan
gers attendant on the Westward
trip. induced the Prime Minister,
after 10 days of seclusion in this
country. to choose plane trans
portation.
Now that it is all over. and the
mission a registered success, it is
interesting to know that the voy-

Lewis Proposes
Renewal Of Efforts
For labor Peace
A. F. LIS Committee
Reody to Meet With
c. |. O.'s, Green Replies
Bv JOHN c, HENRY.

John L. Lewis. who more than
five years ago led nearly 2,000.-
900 workers out of the A. F. of l..
into the rival c. 1. O., proposed
last night that peace negotia-
tions be resumed between the
two great bodies of organized
labor, asserting that labor unity
is imperative to the Nation in
the war effort.
Addressing identical letters to
Philip Murray. president Of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions and to William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, Mr.. Lewis suggested that the
negotiations be undertaken by
standing committees which failed
in the same task in 1899.
The suggestion brought an i'm
mediate letter of reply from Mr.
Green, with a formal statement by
the Federation that "our peace
committee stands ready to meet
with a committee from the c. 1. o
at any time"
No immediate reaction was OBJ
tanned from the c. I. o. as Mr.
Murray was out OF town and un-
available for comment.

the proposal and the wartime cir
cumstances which both enfeeble and

told the story later with amuse-

Every night. in spite of the
storm. Mr.. Churchill, Lord Bea-

of the mission were entertained
with a movie. Among the 10 films
seen were The Fighting 69th,"
Elizabeth and Essex" and

had seen most of the films before,

the end of one film he seemed

Mr.. Churchill's presence in the
White House and Florida during
the last part of his stay here was
a well-kept secret. His last ap-
pearance for the cameramen was

lawns Of the White House. His
disappearance from public view
was intended to mislead the

ular interest in the movements of

twice called of. The first time
was when the warships Prince Of
Wales and Repulse were sunk by
japanese bombs and torpedoes.
The second cancellation came one
hour before the time of depar-

cast the fact of the impending
visit. But 30 minutes later the

party went of on schedule.
The battleship bringing the
Prime Minister, Lord Beaver
brook. the chiefs of the British
fighting services and their stats
to the United States was one of
the newest, fastest and biggest
in commission. The party landed
at a port on the East Coast
south of Washington. There the
chiefs transferred to a plane. The
others went to Washington by
train.
From the beginning to near the
end, the voyage to this country
was fraught with peril for Mr..
Churchill and company. To foil
possible enemy watchers, the
battleship took a zig-zag course
around Britain, starting from a
northern port, but this meant
that for several days the ship

Destroyers escorted the giant

where a new convoy was to meet

But when they arrived at the

destroyers were not there.
