French possessions which Mussolini
covets: the African territory of Tu-

Franco-Italian border city of Nice.
Later came a rebirth of demanda
for French-owned Djibouti, which
would give Ethiopia an ocean outlet.
France's answer has been a Arm
negative, but thia can hardly be
conatrued as final. There is every
indication that the Djibouti claim
will be granted, Bince France was
ready to make thia surrender last
summer. What complicates the sit-
uation ia the "friendship" pact
which France'a ally—Great Britain
—haa juat instituted with Italy. Al-
though this treaty respects a terri-
torial atatus quo in the Mediterrane-
an, Prime Minister Neville Cham-
berlain is going to Borne next month
with an apparent blank check to
appease Mussolini as he sees fit. If
Mr. Chamberlain approves Italy's
new demands, France will be left
helpless.
Only hope in an otherwise befud-

Domettic
Last spring the New York legis-
lature passed a bill which potential-
ly effects every citizen in the U. S.
Reducing from 6 to 5 per cent the
Interest which life insurance com-
panies may charge on policy loans,
the Piper-O'Brien bill has necessi-
tated nation-wide revision of inter-
est rstes because insurance com-
panies cannot charge different rates
in different states.
Upshot is that most companies
are boosting their premium charges
from 10 to SO per cent on policies
written after January 1, although
many Arms made the change De-
cember 1. Policies in effect be-
fore the readjustment will not be af-
fected, but in addition to lower in-
terest rate and higher premiums,
the following additional revisions
will be made on moat new policies:
(1) reduction of guaranteed interest
rates to beneficiaries; (2) lower in-
terest rates on dividends left with
companies; (3) Increased pre-
miums on endowment annuity poli-
cies; (4) withdrawal or substantial
change in certain type of con-
tracts.
By reducing policy loan Interest
charges from 0 to 5 per cent, in-
surance firms will lose annual rev-
enue totaling $90,000,000. Other fac-
tors necessitating higher premiums
include the difficulty of finding sat-
isfactory capital markets, and the
small amount of new financing now
being done.
Butineu
Until thia year, depression-ridden
U. S. did not bother to ask why the
nation's economic cylinders bad
grown rusty. Government end busi-
ness alike were more interested in
oiling the machinery than in replac-
ing or adjusting misfit cogs. More-
over, both worked from different di-
rections: government thought the
oure rested In greater U. 8. regula-
tion; burinesa thought it reatad in
less regulation. Not until laat year,
when an unexpected recession
slapped convalescing industry In the
face, did both government and busi-
ness decide It waa time to face the
problem with less bias and more
objectivity. By the end of IMS thia
new attitude is finding expression at
Washington and on the U. 8. bust
ness front, though mutual agree*
ment is still tar from realisation.
Waaklagtea: Government's efforts
currently center around the 1000,000
temporary national economie com*
mittee, which haa Just opened a two*
year hearing under Wyoming's Sen.
Joseph C. O'Mahoney. Though busi-
ness has teared the quiz will de-
generate into a "witch hunt" and
anti-monopoly drive (since the Jus-
tice department's trust buster, Thur-
man Arnold, ia a committee mem-
ber) Mr. O'Mahoney has given as-
surances that this group seeks only
"economic facts."
"Facts" presented thus far, by
the labor departments Dr. Isador
Lubin and one-time WPA Economist
Leon Henderson, purported merely
to give a background but ended with
expressions of opinion which failed
to harmonize.
Dr. Lubin's report: That the 1920-
38 depression cost the U. S. $113,-
000,000,000 in national income, plus
9119,000,000,000 in wages, $20,000,-
000,000 in stockholder dividends,
$30,000,000,000 in farm income and
43,439,000 in man hours of work.
Though industry can be stepped up
more Important to improve the
standard of living, since U. S. popu-
lation is reaching a stationary stage.
Durable goods Industries should be
stimulated to boost the average in-
come by $790 per year.
Mr. Henderson's report: Growth
of U. S. economic activity has been
halted, and even a return to 1928's
peak (which Mr. Henderson be-
lieves should be regarded as a low
base, not a peak) would leave 7,000,-
000 unemployed. Unlike Dr. Lubin,
who believes insufficient purchasing
power is the cause of our ills, Mr.
Henderson places responsibility on
lessening of competition. True com-

C. Houston Goudiss Counsels Wise Eating
During the Holiday Season
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
THE advent of the holiday season marks the beginning of
one of the most difficult periods of the entire year for the
homemaker.
To begin with, she is busied with the hundred and one
details of Christmas shopping, the planning of holiday enter-
tainments . . . and the preparation of extra food for parties.

Marriner S. Eccles of the federal

restrictions by banks, Mr. Eccles
hinted that their failure to follow
this plan would result in government
credit agencies. Summing up state-
ments by Lubin. Henderson and Ec-
cles, observers saw that govern-
ment's efforts for business revival
are still far from clear.
Business: More tangible and op-
timistic is the reform program of
U. S. Industry, heartened by the
current economic upturn and will-
ing to make peace with government.
Meeting in New York, the National
Association of Manufacturers key-
noted for "co-operation—to make
America click." Its points: (1)
peace with labor; (2) acceptance of
social responsibility; (3) acceptance
of regulation, in general theory; (4)
end unemployment; (9) please the
consumer with higher quality, lower
costs and public-minded policies.
Business' requests to government:
(1) Wagner act modiflcation: (2)
limitation of armament expenditures
to avert unnecessary diversion of
funds; (3) no encouragement of for-
eign trade at cost to domestic In-
dustry.

The name of Masaryk, famous in
Czechoslovaks history since Thom-

90 years ago, will leave that nation's
officialdom forever on January 1.
Jan Masaryk, son of the Cseeh "fa-
ther" and minister to Oraat Britain
for 14 years, has announced his re-
tirement in protest to his country's
capitulation ta Germany.
"What's this? Another doll! Kind

Keeping Body Machinery Efficient
One should always remember
that the body is a machine work-
ing as regularly and as accurately
as a clock. Any good mechanic
knows that a fine mechanism re-
quires the same type of rare doy
in and day out. Homcmakers,
too, should remember that the
body does not function differently
just because we celebrate a holi-
day with age-old customs. Thus,
to keep every member of the fam-
ily well and rested, try not to al-
low the holiday celebrations to up-
set the ordinary routine of your
household.
Late breakfasts, heavy dinners,
and suppers taken at odd hours

maintain always the Ideal of s
balaoced rallan.
Child's Diet Especially Important
During the dark days of Decem-
ber, the children's diet requires
extra thought and care. Too close
confinement indoora and the lack
of sunshine may easily have an
adverse effect upon the temper
and vitality of young children.
Then, too, the excitement of an-
ticipating Christmas is bound to
add to their general fatigue.
Children seldom complain of fa-
tigue, which makes it all the more
necessary for mothers to be on
guard against, or to look for, the
flrst intimation that it may exist.
A child who is tired is very apt to
be Irritable. More than likely his
appetite will be poor, and when
he does eat, he may not be able
to care properly for the food he
takes. You may flnd, if you al-
low him to become overtired or
feed him unaccustomed foods,
that it will be a struggle to get
him to bed, and even then he may
not sleep soundly. And it is gen-
erally recognized that disturbed
sleep, plus unwise eating, may
have most unfortunate conse-
quences.
The Ideal Holiday Diet
Holiday or no holiday, both chil-
dren and adults should have at
least two fruits daily, one of which
should be a citrus fruit or toma-
toes, to help provide adequate
vitamin C; there should be two
vegetables besides potatoes, one
of which should be of the green,
leafy variety: an egg daily, or at
least three or four weekly; a
qua/t of milk for every child, and
a pint for each adult.
If your meals are built on this
foundation, there will be less room
for the rich heavy foods which
should only be taken in modera-
tion, and after you have helped to
satisfy the appetite with the pro-
tective foods. By making a point
of eating generously of fruits and
vegetables, and by including o
crisp raw salad in the daily diet,
you will be much more apt to con-
sume sufficient bulk or cellulose
to help maintain regular health
habits.
Christmas Confections
We can scarcely speak of the
holiday diet, particularly where
children are concerned, without
saying a word about Christmas
confections and other goodies.
These are a part of the holiday
tradition. No homemaker would

'"THE undie ac* goes so quickly
* and easily, in fact, that you
can finish it for a gift in time for
Chriatmaa— and you'll ccrtainly
want to make it for yourself. The
house frock ia a diagram design
that you can finish in a few hours.
It's a mighty nice thing to be
wearing when people run in un-
expectedly, as they're sure to be
doing, frequently, during the holi-
dny season. You can feel right in
it, and work comfortably, all day
long.
The Undie Bet.
Slip, pantlea and brassiere are
all included in this one simple de-
sign that even the inexperienced
can make with no difficulty. Make
it up in fine quality materials-
satin, crepe de Chine or flat crepe
—and you'll save money not only
In the flrst place, but in the long
run, because the undies will wear
and wash so long and so well.
The slip has a beautifully fitted
line over which your doll-waisted
clothes will look their best. The
brassiere provides support and up-
lift that you need for a definite
buatline, and the pantlea are un-
usually smooth-hipped, because
they fasten with a zipper.
The House Dress.
This full-skirted frock is such a
pretty thing that you'll be wise
to make it up in flannel or challis
for shopping as well as in calico,
gingham and percale for around
the house. The bodice has darts
just above the waist to create be-
coming fullness over the bust, the
sleeves are puffed high at the
shoulders, and the neckline, out-
lined with a double row of braid
or ribbon, is extremely flattering.
This is one of the most satisfac-
tory house dresses that anyone in
the 12 to 20 size range can possi-
bly choose!
The Patterns.
No. 1649 is designed for sizes *4,
16, 18, 20, 40, 42, 44 ami 46. Size
16 requires, for the slip 2% yards
of 39-inch material; for the pant-
ies, 1 Ms yards; for the brassiere,
Vk yard.
No. 1050 la designed for aizes 12,
14, 18, 18 and 80. Size 14 requires
4% yarda of 35-inch material; 11
yards of ribbon or braid to trim.

Questions Answered
Mrs. 8. M. B.—Your letter was
the flrst of a large number I re-
ceived on the aubject and I am
therefore answering you, though
my reply is also directed to all
the others who have inquired
cerning a recent announcement'
that cereals might be harmful to
the teeth.
I have seen reports on thia aub-*
ject by two investigators and I
know that other investigatora are
now endeavoring to check their
work. As soon as there is further
progress to report, 1 shall be glad
to comment.
In the meantime, I would not
hesitate to follow the advice of
leading nutritionists und give your
children cereals, at least half of
which may well be served in the
whole grain form.
