Herriot Speaks Out

| Edouard Herriot, former premier of France
with seventy-three years Of courage and patrio-
tism behind him, has offered testimony at the
interesting to Americans.
| In the first place he says that in 1910 Presi-
dent Roosevelt offered help to France and ex-
pressed "the hope, perhaps even the convic-
ton, that the United States would enter the
war"
Everybody was thinking the same thing in
1910 and war preparations were well advanced
in this country, but this is the first evidence
we have seen that President Roosevelt definite.

flict in mind and viewed it sympathetically
In fact the visible evidence was all to the
contrary 1t was in March OF 1910 that Sumner
Welles, at the behest of President Roosevelt
spent some time in conference with Adolf Hit
Ter, when the German fuehrer outlined Ger

the Reich. Thus, governments work by decep.

full-fledged dictatorship in France as soon
as he was called into service, with the aid

to do.

stand because, whereas he has nothing to hide
and is completely out spoken-as always-they
have each sought to shift responsibility for

hostilities began, from one to anothers Shout

the good old American game of passing the

Sugar Bowl classis, and the colorful
Spring Fiesta, the week-long pageant
of the Old South.
New Orleans is eager to welcome

which the urgencies of war have
barred him since 1941. Mardi Gras,
which literally translated means Fat
Tuesday, will be March S, 1916.

the nightly pageants.
The average citizens spirits have

If it is necessary to take a young baby on visit or trip, it might as we'll be done as easily as possible. By careful preparation keep the baby's routine as nearly normal as you can and yourself calm and assured.
 An evaporated milk formula is easily managed. Take the smaller sized cans of milk and open a fresh can for each meal. It may not be easy to get boiled water when you want it, so take along boiled and cooled water in ther- mos. Lacking thermos put the correct amount of water into the bottles for as many feedings as may be necessary before you are certain a new supply will be avail- able. Don't count on being able to have either the water or made-up formulas put into refrigerator. 1t is not necessary, and the canned milk and previously boiled water, at room temperature, may be fed without additional heating. How ever, don't try to keep boiled water for more than 24 hours.
 Should your baby be on another formula than evaporated milk, one which will be difficult to manage, ask. your doctor if you can change . few days before starting the trip. The unopened. sterilized cans of milk will keep indefinitely, whereas a made-up formula will not.
 The small cans of strained vege- tables and fruits are ideal for travelling or visiting. Take with you all you will need, for grocery stores may not be convenient. Do not try to save for the next meal any food from an opened can. Open the cans which have been kept at room temperature and feed them without trying to warm them.
 Remember that porters, walters and stewards are busy and further more will not be as careful as you are about cleanliness. Keep the baby's food in a basket or box. all in one place. Plan to be indepen- dent and self sufficient, taking witt, you everything you will need.
