Grain SILOS IN
ARGENTINA GO
UNDERGROUND
BY STANLEY L. SETON
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent

BY STANLEY L. SETON
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent
Buenos Aires, Dec. Is - (U.P)-
Argentina will soon possess under
ground silos capable Of holding for
storage 1000, 900 tons Of grain of all
kinds Following experiments by
the Ministry of Agriculture of this
country relative to the storing Of
cereals, 1t has been confirmed that
the lowest percentages of losses oc-
curing during a long time holding
of wheat. maize, etc, has been
obtained by their being stored in
underground grainarieS built of &C.
ment.
The actual users of the new silos
will be the National Grain Board,
which will utilize them for storing
the grain bought by the govern
ment from the growers until such
time as 1t Is sold for expectation or
placed on the market for local con-
sumption. Towards this end the
Ministry of Agriculture has issued
a decree authorizing the Grain
Board to invest nearly 100000 in
the building of the silos, the rent
ing or purchase of suitable local.
ties situated throughout the coun-
try, and the control and inspection
! Of the work to be carried out.
A further $1,500000 also was
voted to cover the cost Of collecting
the grains, carriage to the silos, and
any possible drop In price suffered
by the cereals while being held In
stock.
The choice of sites for the new
granaries and the specifications
under which they will be con-
structed will be controlled by a
commission which will include rep
resentatives of the Ministries of
Agriculture and Public Works, the
Commission for the Construction
of Grain Elevators, and the Ma
tional Grain Board.
In addition to the fact that &C.
ment underground silos have been
proved to have reduced the loss Of
the stored grains, caused by adj
verse weather conditions and other
factors, to minimum as compared
with that suffered by cereals stored
in above-ground grain deposits, an
other advantage is that in the sub
terranean silos the grains may be
held in bulk without the use of
sacks. Due to the present shortage
in Argentina of hemp for the man
ufacture of these, this Is q point of
great Importance and an excellent
solution to a problem which has
here since the start of the present
war.
Besides the greater technical
guarantees for the protection of the
grains obtained by the use of I'M
foreground deposits built of cement,
1t has been pointed out that con-
structions of this kind can be used
continuously over long period OF
time SO that savings registered by
the reduction In the losses of the
cereals, as experienced up to the
present, will work towards an
amortization of the initial cost Of
the new Silos.
Although the underground de-
posts will be used In the main for
the storage and protection Of wheat
they will be employed to shelter
other grains as the need and op-
portunity occurs.

PRESCHOOL YEARS
CALL FOR CHECKS
Important Health Period
Aids Growth, Develop
ment of Child

The period from ore to six years
is tremendously important in the
growth and development of the
child. During this period he in
creases in height and weight more
than at any other equal period Of
life; he learns to walk, to talk, to
feed himself, To dress and undress
himself, and most of his health
habits are established. These are
habits of eating. sleeping, elimina-
ton, working and playing with
others. In short. he grows during
this period from an infant into a
child. This was statement by
Ruth M. Olson, r. NJ, Public Health
Nursing Consultant, Bureau of Child
Hygiene in the State Department
of Heaith's weekly broadcast.
To make sure that the child IS
free from physical defects that
might prove handicap later If not
discovered. Miss Olson suggested
the need for mothers to have their
children examined regularly by their
family physician. In those areas
where such medical service is not
available, mothers can secure valu-
able advice at we'll child confer
onces where the public health nurse
supplements the physicians instruc-
ton to mothers regarding problems
Of growth and development and pre-
vention of disease.
Miss Olson described typical ex-
animation: when the physician
examines the child, he will note his
general appearance, the firmness
of his muscles, the color OF his skin
and mucous membranes, whether his
posture is erect or dropping, and
whether the child Is alert and In
terested, or shy and listless. The
physician will. weigh and measure
the child and record this informa-
ton to compare 1t with past ard
future records. He will then ex-
anime the eyes, ears. throat, nose,
teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, genl-
tails, arms. legs, and feet. He Will
ask about the child's habits Of eat
ing and sleeping, of playing, ETC. y
Mothers! be sure your child Is
free from physical defects. and I'M
munized against diseases such as
diphtheria, whooping cough ana
smallpox.
Further advice on child care may
be secured from your local health
department or the State Department
of Health.

At the time of Pearl Harbor
White Cloud was interned at Bad

cans, including George F. KEENAN,
who had been First Secretary OF
our embassy in Berlin and is now
counselor of our legation in Lis
bon. I confirmed this by telephone
with KEENAN, in Lisbon. After a
long internment with his fellow
Americans, White Cloud was final
ly taken with them from Bad Neu-
helm to Lisbon, where the liner
Drottningholm was ready to carry
them across the Atlantic.
But the unpredictable White
Cloud left the party at the gang
plank and returned to Germany
to finish his interrupted but un-
expired vaudeville contract, ano
then to tour wartime Europe with
his bow and arrow and fancy tar
gets and without any passport
whatever, except Portuguese
police card saying he was harm
less and quite an arrows shooter.
He has changed his name sew

shootingest Indian that anybody be-
tween the Baltic and Gibraltar ever
saw.

POLISH REFUGEES
GIVEN NEW HOMES
Homeless Victims of War
Amazed at Americas
Security, Comforts

Springfield. Mass. December IS
- Trainees at the Army Ordnance
Departments training center at
Camp Santa Anita, California, were
made to feel that they are living
like kings when the camp was host
recently to 727 Polish refugees en-
route to new homes in Mexico.
The contrast in living conditions
at any Army camp in this country
with what the refugees had left
behind them in Europe, Brig. Gen.
Guy II. Drewry. district chief, COM
manding the Springfield Ordnance
District reported today, was par
ticularly noticeable in regard to
food. After their first meal - and
300 OF the group were children -
there was hardly enough waste to
cover the bottom of one refuse can.
They had their own system OF
conserving food. II d child's eyes
CHANGED to be bigger than his
stomach. nc passed his tray down
vhe table until it reached someone
who had room for an extra morsel.
Things that amazed the refugees
were the freedom from enemy
bombing, the security that permit
ted lights to burn after dark, mod
ern plumbing, and fire eXtinguishers
which the youngsters used to pump
streams OF water on each other.
Everyone was delighted with the
plentiful supply OF soap and water.
A collection, started to provide
funds with which to rent movie
film for the children's entertain
mcnt, grew to more than SITS, and
then when NE cartoon comedies
we're made available without cost,
the mony was forwarded to the
Polish consul in Mexico to be used
there for the children's benefit.
The refugees had been on the
move since 1899 when their home
land was engulied by the nvad-
ing German armies
