WEAKNESSES OR NFIRNnTIES
 OF YOUTH

Common weaknesses, inflrmities or ailments of childhood, youth and early adult life, which are que in some measure if not mainly to cal- ciUm deficinency, are the follow ing:
 Rickets, tetany, retarded growth.
 fatigue posture, spinal curvature
 high hip, high Shoulder), round
 shoulders, lordoSis (swayback),
 pot-belly, weak ankles, pronated
 feet, falling arches, soft rapidly
 decaying teeth, enlarged tonsilS
 and adenoids, juvenile anemia.
 cachexia scholastica, intestinal
 atony, celiac disease (marasmus),
 intestinal atrophy, malnutrition,
 intestinal indigestion, anorexia
 nervoSa.
 Anorexia nervoSa is medicalese for total lack of appetite, not just indifferent or poor appetite, and, since the old timers had no better way to account for it they attrib- uted it to nervousness" A child, or perhaps a young woman, with anorexia nervosa is no more inter ested in food of any kind or in any circumstance than I would be if you invited me to dinner and then served me great big gob of mashed potato. But that's understatment the anorexia nervosa patient just ignores victuals, dawdles over meals, pecks at this and that without en- thusiasm and only under constant urging.
 I do not mean to imply that any of these common ailments or tn- firmities of youth can be cured by feeding the young person calcium and vitamin D. I merely say that in my opinion most of these def1- ciencies can be prevented if the in- fant, child, youth and young adult receives adequate daily supplies of calcium and vitamin D. The vita min D is indispensable for aSsim- ilation, utilization and retention of calcium in the bones, teeth, nerves, muscles, blood, glands. And be- leve suitable daily ration of cal. cium and vitan1in D should supple ment the ordinary diet and any medical or surgical treatment given for any of these weaknesses or in- flr1nitieS.
 Not in the first year of infancy but in the teens, according to f1nd- ings of the Medical Research Coun- cil of Great Britain, the require- ment for calcium is greatest.
 Whether or not the child's diet at this critical time of life should be supplemented by calcium as well as vitamin D, depends on the char acter of the diet. If the child con- sumes not less than three pints of milk, one or two eggs, cottage or other cheese, some greens or fresh raw salad vegetables, perhaps soma peas or beans or peanuts every day. chances are that the diet will supp ply sufficient calcium. z

Selected Poem
MINOR ELEGY

Oeslie Nelson Jennings in The New York T1meS) This derelict season has no text from which To draw what simple resignation reads In a years harvest, whether lean or rich, When early planting often runs to weeds Snow falls and in its time the sap will rise. Hills have their scripture, not revealed like ours Unshaken when a rock-starved hemlock dies, Preaching no gospel more divine than flowers. Here at the turn we need not even ask If cold strikes deeper than the roots of trees. When beechwoods at the end of autumn flame. Much can be lost; these sanguine sunsets mask multitude of minor elegieS,
 And griefs that will not answer to a name

LONDON, Oct. 31.-More than
1000 British and Canadian
planes last night dropped 1000
tons OF bombs on Cologne, "the
most heavily bombed OF German
cities" and Mosquitoes made two
raids on Berlin.
A Canadian communique said a

many were attacked.
The Canadian communique for

path Of the American lst Army, as
the most heavily bombed city of the
Reich. Although it did not 60 into

that although clouds obscured part

BY the Associated Press.

BIRMINGHAM, England. Oct.
3l.-The Bishop of Birmingham,
DR.. E. william Barnes, predicted
yesterday that within five years
THE Republican party. with its
strong isolationist wing, will be in
power in Washington" and he ques-
toned whether an American Army
would then remain in Germany.
Britain would almost certainly
have a government of the left"
within that time, he told a Birm-
ingham diocesan conference, and
added, Il ask you to consider
whether our own army would re-
main."
Bishop Barnes suggested that the
ideal postwar Europe would be
federation OF states with a common
currency, no tariff boundaries and a
central government allowing the
widest local autonomy.
AT present." he said, there is
so much bitterness and suspicion
that no project or federation can
succeed. But it should be made a
practical ideal. People should be
left where their fathers have lived,
and under their flag"
Asserting there had been sugges-
tions that Germany West of the
Rhine go to France and East Prus-
sia and part of Pomerania to Po-
land, Bishop Barnes said That
would mean the suicide of Europe"
So much wrong had been done
during the war, he said, that there
was little probability OF a wise
settlement Immediately hostilities
end"
Bishop Barnes assertions. espe-
cially those relating to American
politics. drew an immediate chal-
lenge from the Conservative Daily

In An editorial:
His theorizing in regard to the
future of nations, great and small,
especially his uncalled for assump-
ton that five years hence an Amer
lea governed by the Republican
party would revert to traditional
isolationism, can be dismissed on
the ground of uninformed specu-
lation.

NEW YORK. octssl.-Republican
National Chairman Herbert Brow
nell, jr.. declared yesterday that "the
truth is stjH concealed" about Pearl
Harbor.
n do not know, and the American
people do not know, who was the
commander in chief at Pearl Har-
bor," Mr.. Brownell said in a state
ment to party workers summarizing
the campaign. II only know that
every New Dealer in the Congress
has fought bitterly to prevent the
court-martial which would fix the
responsibility wherever it belongs.
Long ago the time passed when
there was no reason for secrecy to
prevent the trial. Yet the truth is
) still concealed"
Hits Speech to Teamsters.
Mr.. Brownell, predicting the Re-
publicans will get IS to per cent
greater plurality than Is shown by
any of the polls" said "the big break
of the campaign" came when the
President, who had said he would
not campaign in the usual sense be-
cause he did not consider it fitting
in these days of tragic sorrow
opened his campaign with speech
to the teamsters.
This speech in the midst of war
insulted the intelligence and vio-
lated the sense of decency and fit
ness of the American people," Mr..
Brownell said He made the addi-
tional mistake of hurling charges of
Justification at Gov. Dewey"
Mr.. Brownell said that Gov.
Dewey's reply at Oklahoma City, in
which he tore into the record of
the New Deal, put the whole Demo-
cratic campaign on defensive from
which it has never recovered"
Says President Took Credit.
Commenting on the Presidents
later speeches, Mr.. Brownell said
Mr.. Roosevelt personally took credit
for all of Americas magnificent war
effort"

before Pearl Harbor, during which
he failed to prepare the country"
Mr.. Brownell said, "he painted a |
picture in which the American peo-
pie were expected to believe that he

every cannon"
Mr.. Brownell said "the American
people just don't believe, because
it isn't true, that any civilian could
teach strategy, tactics and logistics
to Eisenhower, Patton, Clark, Mac
S"te'r, Nimitz and Halsey."
