Filipino Clubwomen
Praised for Work

Much of the progress in the
Philippines can be attributed to the
work of Philippine clubwomen, Mrs.
Pillar Linn, wife Of Gen. Linn, told
members of the Women's Auxiliary,
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers.
Speaking at meeting at $500 Six
tenth street NV. yesterday she said
that Philippine women, due to efforts
in teaching mothers proper care
OF themselves and children, were
partly responsible for a drop of 16
per cent in the mortality rate. Over
a period of so years, the population
increased from 1000, 900 to 1900, 600,
she added.
The Philippine Federation of
Women's Clubs now boasts a mem
bership of 800 clubs. Its building,
however, has been burned. Efforts
are being directed toward acquiring
new headquarters where local and
national projects may be continued.
The speaker also described how
American mining engineers de-
veloped resources of the island. Be-
fore their arrival, gold was the only
known ore. Americans discovered
rich veins of tin, coal, silver, etc.
in addition to starting further gold
mines.
Mrs. Linn was introduced by Mrs.
H. Foster Balm and the president,
Mrs. r. E. Wilson, presided.

By the Way
BETH BLAINE.

One of the most important
things in the speedy GONZALES
cence Of a patient is diet. It is
especially important in the care
Of children and, of course, it is
ALL important in the care Of
diabetes. That's one of the rea-
sons that the work of the Red
Cross. dietitians in hospitals has
meant so much.
At the Children's Hospital here
great care and effort is taken to
see that every child who is or
has been i'll is given the proper
food for each individual case.
Here the dietitians' aides pre-
pare all the beverages and the
nourishing desserts and special
foods that are not on the regu-
lar diets. They work in the
kitchen and on the wards of the
hospital. There are two aides
on duty each day-and in order
to make certain that this quota
land the quotas of other local
hospitals) is kept up at all times
winter and summer-more die
titians' aides are needed. For this
reason a new class is being or
ganized for the special Red
Cross training, which takes 26
hours in all and meets twice a
week until it is completed.
1t is only for women who have
already had the standard Red
Cross nutrition course and it
begins May IA at the Walsh
House on Massachusetts, avenue
and Twenty-first street.
For women who have not had
the nutrition course there will
be another class scheduled to
start a little later but you
can also sign up for that now.
The captain of dietitians'
aides at the Children's Hos
pital is Mrs. Thomas w. How
ard, who before her assignment
there served as a dietitian's aide
at Emergency and Garfield Hos
pitals-working mostly with dia-
bette trays.

Counselor Tells
OF Snfferimgs Of
French Pebble
By Gretchen Smith

We day brought sobered gladness
to most of the world, but to no one
nation was there reason for greater
rejoicing than France. and to no
nations women did final liberation
bring greater relief.
So declared Francis Lacoste, Coun-
Selor Of the French Embassy, yester-
day at a luncheon meeting of the
Ward Belmont College Club at the
Fairfax Hotel in presenting dra-
matte glimpses into the terrifying
existence of French women during
the Nazi occupation.
Throughout the five years when
two-thirds of France was occupied,
and the past two years when France
was entirely occupied by the Nazis,
the women had to carry the heaviest
and most heart-breaking burden"
he explained. Every day women
battled against the hardships of life,
and as war drew on and the Allies
landed in Normandy the pressure
Of German authorities became heav-
Ter every day"
M. Lacoste, who served as a ma
jor with the French Maquis, per-
sonally knew the terror felt by
French women during the Nazi &C.
cupation, as his attractive young
wife and three children lived in
Paris and its suburbs during the
entire period Of occupation and
there was much she told him when
she Joined him four months ago
when he came to the United States
with French Ambassador Bonnet.
No French woman was ever free
from heartache and worry over the
men in her family, he commented.
Either their dear ones were dragged
into slave labor In Germany or
were under constant surveillance
by German police.
NO woman ever knew when the
knock would come at her door with
the command, open, the German
police!' he said. Then the house
was searched and perhaps brother,
son or husband dragged away in the
night. Sometimes it would be Is
days or longer before she obtained
news and then perhaps it was to
learn that her dear one had been
shot or sent to slave labor in Ger
many.
Women who offered active re-

sistance to the Nazis exposed them
selves to worse dangers than the
men In BATTLE" he continued. "If
they were captured, they suffered all
the indignities and sufferings which
have been shown so truthfully by
f1lmdom. It has been wisdom to
show those atrocities" the counselor
added, land they should continue
to be shown to convince the world
of the cruelty OF the German people. I"
M. Lacoste addressed his audience
in fluent English, having mastered
the language when he visited and
travelled in the United States ex-
tensively several years ago. He was
accompanied to the luncheon by
Nine. Lacoste.
The honor guests were introduced
by Miss Grace Frysinger. Miss Nell
Tyson, president of the club, pre-
sided.
Following the program election of
officers was held. Mrs. Walker Totty
was elected president, succeeding
Miss Tyson. Others elected were
Mrs. Caleb G. Motz, vice president:
Mrs. Joe M. Clark, secretary, and
Mrs. r. r. Zimmerman, treasurer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-James C..
Petrillo, president Of the AFL Amer
lean Federation of Musicians, has
banned the broadcast by American
radio stations of musical programs
originating in any foreign countries
except Canada, effective Deem
Der 81.
Mr.. Petrillo said the order, which
he said was not new, was being re-
invoked ito protect the American
musician against foreign competi-
ton"
Before the war, he said, there was
an understanding" between the
ATM and domestic radio stations
that the broadcast Of foreign mu-
steal programs would be halted, but
he added the ATM waived It's
objections" to network musical
broadcasts emanating from foreign
countries during the war.
Mr.. Petrillo said the order was
issued because through interna-
tional short wave radio a foreign
musician could displace an Amer
leans services without entering the
United States"
Religious broadcasts, such as the
annual Christmas and Easter pro-
grams from the Vatican and Jeru-
salem, and special overseas programs
by the Army and Navy, will not be
banned, he said.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich.-Minia-
ture white canes are giving blind
youngsters under 10 years of age a
new lease on life here.
The project was started in Battle
Greek grade schools recently by a
blind teacher, Miss Jennette Maris,
who believes it is the first time in
the United States that little chill
dren have been provided with white
canes, although teen-agers in Min
nesota are using them.
IT thought we might as well try
it," she explained, why should the
little folks have to wait until they
are adults to learn to get around
alone?"
The local Lions Club furnishes
materials for the canes which are
made by boys in junior high school

At the Ann j. Kellogg School, Miss
Maris brought forward 8-year-old

Re-educoting Viennese Youth
Slowed by Lack of Anti-Nozis

fish teacher begged me to get him
copies Of American newspapers. He
could use them as textbooks, Of
which he has none. In French
classes the teacher dictates each
lesson, to be copied by the students
and studied for the next day.
I went to the university, visiting
the language department. The pro-
lessor at its head was pensioned six
years ago; he has been brought back
because every other member OF the
language faculty was suspected as a
Nazi. Even in the Latin department
only the chairman is left. He has
been fired by the Nazis long ago.
Few Anti-Naxis.
A scholar who is trying to help
reconstruct the Austrian Academy Of
Science told me, IF we dismissed
every Nazi party member, there
wouldn't be single teacher of mod
Iern languages left and we would
lose half the members of the acad-
envy. You can't imagine the heights
that fanaticism here reached during
the war"
Yet intellectual Viennese love for
Hitler was not reciprocated. Re-
Gently found is an order signed by
the Fuehrer, insisting that the uni
versity here be reduced to level
below those In Berlin and Munich.
The catastrophe shortage of in
structors is made still more serious
by the great number of students.
About 5000 have enrolled in the uni
versity for this semester.
OF course, some teachers quit
rather than yield to NaZi philosophy
