The Case of Nelson

Several have written in, asking
why Byron Nelson, a hale and
hearty-looking athlete, who can
march all day, should be deferred on
the grounds Of "easy bleeding" to
use the common term.
This is a story that few know.
Suspended from a small chain
around Nelson's neck there is a
small disk, hidden from sight, with a
certain number on it. Byron has
been wearing this for some years.
This disk represents the blood type
that Nelson must have in the wake
of any cut.
After just a slight cut" Craig
Wood told me, Nelson will start a

MEETING WITH THE
PRESIDENT
Washington, d. G.

Certain senators who have beer

esting ammunition when they cross
examined one Of the Presidents
close associates at a closed-door
committee meeting.
They learned that cabinet meet.
ings. except for an increase in the
number of participants, still are be-
ing conducted on an informal. crack
er barrel basis, with no plan or
system.
The weekly meetings are conduct
ed without an agenda. Cabinet Of
icers and agency heads never know
what will be discussed from week
to week, frequently come UMPIRE
pared for policy questions that af-
feet them.
Senators who have been digging
into the matter feel that the White
House secretariat should contact de-
partnent and agency heads several
days before a cabinet meeting to
learn what problems they want to
discuss with the President. On the
basis of this, as well as matters the
President himself intends to bring
up, an advance memorandum could
be prepared and distributed before
the meeting.
Besides regular cabinet officers,
there are usually a dozen other top
government officials at White House
sessions, including Harry Hopkins,
Manpower Chief Paul McNutt, WPB
Chief Donald Nelson, Farm Gar
Chester Davis. Economic Stabilizer
James Byrnes, Admiral William D..
Leahy.
Time was when disputes between
departments and agencies were
ironed out at a cabinet meeting, but
not now. Even disputes affecting
major military and domestic poll
cies are passed over. Favorite trick
Of department heads, who have a
ticklish matter on their minds, is to
wait until the meeting is finished,
then pass a note to the President
stating their particular problem,
with a request for a private audi
ence.
FOUR GERMANS WATCH U. S. A.
There are four Germans who
know the United States better than
any others. Where they are now
reveals what importance Hitler at.
taches to the United States and its
influence on the neutral countries.
For all four Germans are located
in key neutral capitals where they
can watch Americans and keep thei1
ears open for news Of U. S. Aiplo'
matte and military maneuvers, and
counteract American influence.
Here are the four German experts
on the U. S. A.
Franz von Papen, German mill
tary attache in Washington during
the last war when he engineered
plans to- blow up the WeIland canal
and brain-trusted various other
sabotage.
Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff, ex-ambas.
sador to Washington and one Of the
most skillful to be stationed here in
years.
Hans Thomson, counselor and
charge d'affaires of the German en-
bassy after Dieckhoff left Washing
ton.
Kurt Sell, correspondent of the Of
fetal German News Agency DNB,
long stationed in Washington where
he was generally popular. Unof.
fcially he acted frequently for the
German Embassy.
In Europe these four are now sta.
toned as follows: Won Papen in
Turkey; Dieckhoff in Spain; Thorn.
sen in Sweden; and Sell in Portugal.
These are countries which, if they
moved their neutral position one
way or the other, might decide the
fate Of the war.

4 Different Matter

Certain vital physical defects
among leading athletes is something
that can't be helped. The case OF
our kids is a different matter.
Unfortunately, it a a man
named Hitler who first thought up
the idea Of training and develop
ing kids of IL, 13, IA and 15-on up
through 10.
This is something we have over
looked. 1t is something we are still
facing in a tistless fashion-despite
the fact that from 100, 900 selectees,
q. 900 have to be thrown out.

The Japs are reported to have

How many the British have in the

but it can't be less than a million.
However, there is one factor miti-

Indian troops have fought we'll in

Take a Tip From Teacher
Wise Mother Follows Nursery Schools Simple Routine
When Planning Childs Daily Schedule During Vacation

milk and crackers follows the school
routine and Is good break to
change from strenuous play to a
quieter form. This might consist of
mud pies in the sandpile, coloring or
painting at the play table, work
with clay or plastercine, cutting out
paper dolls or similar occupation
Just a word of warning-Don't per-
nit the children to make a mess of
the yard or playroom and leave it
for you to clean up. The teacher
trains them to pick up after them
selves and like it. She also insists
that they put one toy or game away
before starting on another
One OF the greatest complaints
that teachers have is that they must
start all over again every fall to re-
train the youngsters who have lost
all their good play habits during
the summer. Mother usually walls
that the children at home make so
much work for her that she never
has time for any of her own activi-
ties. Smart mothers will go to school
for day and watch how the teach
er uses the children's energy and
interest in keeping their schoolroom
neat and clean. There are very few
teachers who turn the classroom
over to the janitor with much more
than sweeping to be done.
Quiet play fills the time until
lunch. Fifteen minutes should be
planned for washing hands and
faces or sponge baths and the time
from II to l for lunch and getting
ready for a nap. Rest or nap is a
must for young children during
hot weather. 1t is also necessary to
give their mothers time to relax or
to catch up on their own projects.
Up from the nap, the time from
$3.50 to 4:30 might be spent in a
walk to market or play in the park
or a playground to get away from
their own back yard. Then home
again for session with playmates,
dinner at 6. with a play time fol-
lowing with parents. Then a story
and to bed
Many parents keep their children
up late because it is too warm to
put them to bed Generally speak
ing, the youngsters are better off
with cool bath and resting quietly
on cool sheets than they are exert
ing themselves in games with other
children until 10 o'clock at night.

School will be closed for the sum-
ner In a week or two, and small
children who have spent eight busy
months with a systematic routine
of behavior, endeavor and play
come home to mother, with time on
their hands for mischief.
Mother is likely to be a very busy
person these days. Trying to aid IN
the war effort, doing her own house
work, cooking and laundry under
wartime conditions and keeping her
eye on small children is going to be
a fulltime Job that needs some ad-
vance planning. She might take
tip from the nursery school teacher
In organizing the children's day.
It is not at all difficult to continue
the schedule that the teacher has
been following during the winter.
Children will fall into line because
they are in the habit of doing So
They will profit by the continued
routine, and mother will be saved
the time and effort of breaking them
into a whole new schedule.
This does not mean that they must
read and write and do their arlth-
metic at regular hours. 1t does not
mean that mother must ring a bell
and conduct classes, all OF which
would be no vacation for either the
children or mother. But routine
hours for getting up, having meals,
going out to play, for maps and
baths will set a certain pattern for
the day that the children will rec
ognize. freeing mother from too close
eupervisional duties.

Praise Tot Who
Consumes All
Of His Food
Br Leftice Lee Street,

That Victorian spendthrift, Mr.
John Manners, is no longer fash
ionable-a less hypocrltical and
thriftier gentleman dimes with us
these days, by the name Of Mr.. Peter
Patriot.
When you were a child. depending
upon how old you are, you may re-
member John Manners, that nebu-
lous top who demanded that we
leave small morSels of food on every
plate at every meal. no matter how
We yearned for that last bit of
chocolate cake!
Peter Patriot. on the other hand, is
q sensible fellow who causes chill
dren to be praised, and even given
prizes. when they eat everything
that is put before them. His rule is
against wastefulneSs, he wants peo-
pie to make their plates shine!
Mothers and housekeepers all over
the land are by now fully aware OF
the patriotic necessity for conserv-
ing food. A garbage pail that is
filled daily with edible scraplngs
from plates, food that members of
the family have taken but failed to
eat, is A type of waStefulneSs that
helps our enemies.
Not only that, but the habit OF not
finishing the food on your plate,
often established in childhood, can
be a menace to health. What good
does it do to help yourself to carrots
If YOU do not eat them? Merely
looking at these golden slices will
not provide the body with vltamln A
Mothers are wise who study their
children's plates after meals-dld
Mary eat all of her rice and only a
forkful or two of string beans? Did
Bobby cut up his liver and then hide
most of it under the brown rice he
barely touched, making most OF his
meal from slices of white bread and
jam?
Such practices, if INDUCED in day
after day, can cause that lnSldlous
secret starvation that may not show
Ats harm for years to come-that
hidden hunger of the body (not the
eppetiteD that eventually results in
bodily ills due to diet deficiency.
To teach children to obey the
wishes of Peter Patriot, and there
bv not only help their country, but
also aid their own bodies in growing
toward superior health, a mother
may begin her training in babyhood.
She should gradually introduce new
foods zone at time, please to her
infant as soon as these foods are
Allowed. She should not omit any
food on the diet list unless it dis
agrees with the baby.
In later childhood the mother
should pan varied, tasty and at
tractive meals. Children should not
be given large helpings, a big plate
piled high can seem enormous to
little person and make his appetite
vanish. Two small helpings are often
better than large.
Nagging, noticing whether or not
the child eats this or that food,
comments about not liking certain
foods. fussineSs on the part of an
older member of the family, scold-
ings, teasing or ridicule during
meals should be ruled out-meal-
time must be pleasant If appetites
are to be good.
