THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
XTEW YORK.—Mrs. Joseph P.
^ Kennedy has been an effective
social and political ally of both her
father, former mayor of Boston, and
her husband, am-
Mrs. Kennedy bassador to the
Aids Father Court of St.
and Husband James. But the
news that, in ac-
cordance with her husband's deci-
sion, she presentee only seven
American women at c.mrt is one of
her rare appearances ;n the head-
lines.
The 11 engaging Kennedys have
been viewed more or less en bloc in
the news and Mrs. Kennedy has
never been in a vevy sharp lens
focus.
She was one of the prettiest
of Boston debufhn';es, 30 years
ago, a rollicking grl with black
hair and eyes of Irish blue.
Back home from her convent
training, she taught her father
"Sweet Adeline."
He was John F. (Honey Fitz) Fitz-
gerald, and in his campaigns he
sang his way to memorable political
fame—riding like a surfboard the
long, lingering "swipes" of the song
taught him by his daughter—"the
flower of his heart."
Joseph P. Kennedy, her childhood
playmate, was twenty-five years old
when they were

Up Together 000 for a do™
payment on a $6,-
500 house. Their fortunes grew as
their family, with Mr. Kennedy
president of a bank, in a year or two
after their marriage.
Mrs. Kennedy once told a Boston
drygoods clerk that she bought 200
suits and dresses a year. It takes
a heap of shopping to make a home,
like the Kennedys', and she became
known among her friends as a para-
gon of household efficiency com-
parable to the one in Solomon's off-
hand apostrophe to such skills and
virtues.
Now she is mistress of the
"cas*tle" which was once J.
Pierpont Morgan's home; also
of a beautiful mansion in Bronx-
ville, N. Y., a huge summer es-
tate at llyannisport, Cape Cod,
and a villa at Palm Beach, built
by one of the Wanamakers.

But she never lets the children
run to unseemly display, hold-
ing them to restraint in regime
and dress. Even without all
these adventitious fixings, say
her friends, she would he an ad-
mirable ambassador's wife, with
her own quite adequate equip-
ment of tact, charm and intelli-

Ministers Are Recalled
IPLOMATIC relations between
Great Britain and Mexico were
broken because of the dispute over
Mexico's action in expropriating for-
eign oil properties.
President Lazaro
Cardenas of Mexico
took the initiative by
recalling Primo Vil-
la Michel, Mexico
minister at London,
and ordering the
closing of the lega-
tion indefinitely. The
British government
promptly directed
Minister Owen St.
Clair O'Malley to
leave Mexico to-
gether with his staff, the legation
being put in charge of Consul Gen.
J. Dalton Murray.
While the suspension of relations
Is a direct outgrowth of the oil sei-
zure, the immediate cause of Carde-
nas' action was what he considered
Britain's "insolent" methods in de-
manding a claims annuity of $85,-
000, due since January 1 for dam-
ages to British interests in a revo-
lution years ago. Foreign Minister
| Eduardo Hay handed a check for
j the amount to Minister O'Malley,
i told him of the recall of Minister
; Michel, and said: "May I be al-
! lowed, however, to call your excel-
| lency's attention to the fact that not
j even powerful states with ample re-
; sources at their disposal can boast
! of having fulfilled their monetary
< obligations."
Thus, of course, was an allusion
! to Britain's repudiation of her war
! debt to the United States.
Labor and political organizations
in Mexico lined up solidly in sup-
port of Cardenas in the dispute. The
majority bloc in the chamber of
deputies described the diplomatic
break as "absolutely justified."
Viscount Halifax, British foreign
secretary, took up the Mexican af-
fair on his return from Geneva. An
important factor in the situation is
consideration of Britain's oil supply
if war should come in Europe.
When Mexico seized the oil prop-
erties both Great Britain and the
United States protested, but later
Secretary of State Hull formally ac-
knowledged Mexico's right to take
the step. Britain, however, twice
demanded prompt return of the
properties. Mexico rejected the
British contention.

Fall of Suchow Near
P) ISPATCHES received in Shang-
hai said the Japanese forces
were closing in on Suchow, great
Central China rail junction city, and
that its capture was momentarily
expected. Thousands ftf Chinese
troops were believed to be trapped
in that area with little chance to
escape.
Encirclement of Si^-how followed
the cutting by Japanese columns of
the Lunghai railway at which opera-
tions of the invaders had been di-
rected for five months. The Jap-
anese, then pushed rapidly toward
Suchow, taking the cities of Pihsien
and Siaohsien which were desper-
ately defended.
Gen. Qount Juichi Terauchi, com-
mander of Japanese forces in North
China, moved his headquarters to
an undisclosed point "somewhere
south of Peiping," assuming per-
sonal command of the "final drive"
to crush Chinese resistance in the
Suchow railway zor*.
Japanese naval forces occupied
the important port city of Amoy,
South China. They also landed at
the mouth of the Min river 130 miles
north of Amoy, but were driven back
to their ships.
Woman Ambassador?
npHERE is a good chance that the
United States will be represented
at Moscow by a woman, for Mrs.
Charles C. Broy is under considera-
tion for the post of
American ambassa-
dor to Soviet Russia,
which Joseph E.
Davies recently re-
linquished to be-
come ambassador to
Belgium. Mrs.
Broy, who is a
Texan by birth, is
the wife of an Amer-
ican foreign service
officer and the wid-
ow of Representa-
tive Thomas U. Sis-
son of Mississippi. She was recom-
mended for the ambassadorship by
the chairmen of the foreign rela-
tions and foreign affairs committees
of congress, and has the backing of
many prominent members of con-
gress. If appointed and confirmed,
she will be the first American wom-
an to be an ambassador.
Mrs. Broy was officially present-
ed to Secretary of State Hull by
Senator Key Pittman, but the secre-
tary has known her personally for
16 years.
N.L.R.B. Wins Point
npHE United States Supreme court
ordered the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals at Philadelphia to show cause
why its orders against the national
labor relations board in the Repub-
lic Steel company case should not
be vacated. The circuit court re-
fused to permit the labor board to
withdraw its case against the steel
company for the purpose of insti-
tuting further procfedings and thus
averting judicial scrutiny of its con-
duct. The lower court also re-
strained the board from taking any
further proceedings in the Republic
case pending the certification of the
transcript of the record.
In another case involving the la-
bor board the Supreme court ruled
that strikers do not lose their em-
ployee relationship.

Describes the Need for
IRON and COPPER
Shows How You Can Help to Avoid Anemia
by Including These Blood-Building
Minerals in the Diet
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th Street, New York City
OF ALL the nutrition problems that challenge the home-
maker, none is more important than supplying her fam-
ily's need for iron. This mineral is sometimes described as
the supreme element in nutrition because it is an essential
constituent of the blood.
—★—
How Blood Is Constructed
If you should examine a
drop of blood under the micro-
scope, you would observe that
it is composed of red cells and
white cells. In normal blood
there are abowt 25 million
times a million red blood corpus-
cles. owing their color to the iron-
bearing protein
hemoglobin. They
carry oxygen to all
the body tissues,
and remove the
carbon dioxide
formed during the
combustion of body
fuel.
A reduction in
the amount of hem-
oglobin in the blood
may cause short-
ness of breath,
quickened respiration and an ac-
celerated heart action. Lack of
appetite, weakness, and a slowing
of all vital functions may also re-
sult from the diminished supply of
oxygen to fhe tissues.
in the body. But the most com-
mon cause is a diet lacking in
sufficient iron over a long period
of time.
—★—
How Much Iron?
It is believed that about 10 per
cent of the total hemoglobin in
adults is destroyed daily. And for
this reason iron-rich foods must be
included in the diet every day.
Investigators have found it diffi-
cult to determine the exact iron
requirement, but according to the
latest estimates, from 12 to 15
milligrams a day will not only
provide adequately for bodily re-
quirements, but will allow a rea-
sonable reserve.
—★—
Women Need More Than Men
Women require more iron than
men, in proportion to the body
weight, to make good ihe losses
that occur during the menses. Ex-
pectant mothers need a generous
amount of iron, not only to pro-
vide for their own needs and for
the normal development of the
fetus, but to create a reserve sup-
ply in the baby's body which will
last through the period of Iacta-
Lack of Iron May Lead to Anemia tion.
In many young people the blood
does not function normally, though
frequently parents are unaware
that anything is wrong. You may
scold them for being lazy, for
lacking interest in their work, or
never heeding the things you tell
them, when the real trouble is due
The percentage of iron in the
baby's body is about three times
that of the adult. Nature has
wisely designed this reserve to
make up for the low iron content
of milk which constitutes the chief
food during the first six months of
life. Nutrition authorities believe,

The person who has a tendency
toward anemia usually tires eas-
ily and lacks pep; complains of
cold hands and feet; worries over
trifles, and may have a complex-
ion that is anything but rosy.
The great danger of an iron-
deficient diet is that it deprives
the body of its chief defense
against disease. For when the
quality of the blood is poor, one
becomes an easy prey to infection.
Moreover, if a serious illness oc-
curs, lowered resistance makes it
difficult to fight it off.
—★—
Two Forms of Anemia
Anemia may be due to loss of
blood, deficient blood formation,
or to increased blood destruction
in the body. The different forms
of the disease are sometimes clas-
sified as primary and secondary
anemia.
Primary anemia is usually
known as pernicious anemia. It
is a grave condition in which the
marrow of the bones has lost its
power to make red blood cells.
Secondary or nutritional anemia
may result from loss of blood in
an accident, or it may follow a
long, infectious illness. For any

suits when an iron-rich food, such
as egg-yolk, is introduced very
early into the diet. This helps to
prevent the slight anemia which
was formerly regarded as unim-
portant, but which * now recog-
nized as making the baby more
susceptible to infection and re-
tarding growth.
—if—
Children's Requirement High
It is desirable to keep the iron
intake at a high level throughout
childhood, for it has been discov-
ered that better health results
when a surplus is allowed above
the daily requirement. But there
is a very special need for iron in
girls from the beginning of ado-
lescence through the eighteenth
yea*.
—if—
Iron-Rich Foods
To maintain top health and pre-
vent the possibility of nutritional
anemia, the homemaker must
learn to meet the daily iron re-
quirement of her family and not
leave this vital matter to chance.
Iron-rich foods include egg
yolk, liver, molasses, dried beans
and peas, whole grain cereals,
lean meat and green leafy vege-
tables. While milk has only a
small amount of iron, experiments
show that its iron is readily ab-
sorbed and is utilized to good ad-
vantage.
Eggs are such an excellent
source of iron that one egg yields
about one-tenth of the standard
requirement. Lean meat furnishes
a considerable amount, but liver is
so much richer that it should be
eaten frequently. Dried beans are , *
inexpensive and when baked with
molasses become a good source
of iron. *
It is a pity that parsley is so
often used only as a garnish, be-
cause it has a higher iron con-
tent than most green leafy vege-
tables. Though potatoes contain
only a moderate amount of iron,
they are usually consumed in suf-
ficient quantities to make them a
significant source.
—★—
Copper Also Necessary
Investigation has demonstrated
that adequate iron alone is not
enough to prevent nutritional ane-
mia, for the body cannot convert
| iron into blood pigment unless
; copper is also present. Therefore,
I in order to obtain the full bene-
fits of iron, the diet must contain
sufficient copper. Foods that sup-
ply copper in abundance are liver,
nuts, dried beans and peas. Small-
er but significant amounts are pro-
vided by whole grain cereals,
dried fruits and poultry.
I shall gladly send to every
homemaker a list of foods rich in
both iron and copper, and also
sample menus showing how to
plan a balanced, blood-building
diet.
I urge you to write for this ma-
terial and keep the blood-building
foods in mind when planning
menus. Never forget for an in-
stant that good blood is the best
form of life insurance.
