Britain Wants , Canada's Bacon Will Take All She Can Get. in. of Packing Official _ Great. Britain will buy all the bacon Canada can ship, in the opin. "lon of J. A.

Child Should Play To Prevent T.B. Outdoor Play -and Exercise Widens the Chest Physicians examining - récruits have 'found that the youth whose chest was too small to be accepted was usually a boy who had not played much as' a8 youngster be- cause he disliked play, or was del- cate, or his. mother-was afraid he would get hurt, It is not only because play en- larges or widens the chest 'that physicians advise parents to sce that their children play outdoors, 'but because, other things being equal, the boy or girl with the wide or normal chest -- proper propor- tion of width to depth -- js less. likely to develop tuberculosis. Tuberculosis Chest Undgveloped Some months ago, says Dr. Jas. W. Barton, doctor-columnist, I quoted Dr. S. A. Welsman, Minnea- polis, in the Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association, who re ported his investigations showing that "deep" chested children, that is deep in proportion to the width, were more lkely to develop tuber- culosls, This is because the tuber- culosis chest is not a mature chest, _ Jt is a baby chest. These children, 1,324 girls and 1,399 boys, were all tested with. tuberculin, and the «-,nu; ber of positives (likely to de- ~ yelop tuberculosis) was greater 'among the narrow hut deep chest. ed children. Another fact discover- ¢ ed was that the narrow and deep. chested children were moré num- numerous in the poorer districts of tha city than in better districts, due, fn part, to lack of fresh alr and proper food."

But day after day passed* and no offensive began. It was: still a "war of nerves." What 'was behind the delay? Reports continued 'to pour in of great concentrations of German troops in the Rhine-Moselle sec- tor, whi along the Dutch border. Was a double push being planned by Germany coupling the invasion of Holland with a swift blow at the Maginot Line? Or was Hitler in- deed the "cornered maniac"--which British First Lord of the Admiral- ty Winston Churchill labelled him --caught in a trap of his own mak- ing, secking in vain for a way out? Again, was Hitler using a psycho- logical strategy never tried before, whereby he would hold off his ex- pected offensive for weeks, months, perhaps years, leaving the Allies to stew in their own juice and forget al] about Poland, Czecho- slovakia? How long could such a "war of nerves" be successfully waged? Bids For Peace During the week important bids for peace came from Queen Wil- heimina of Holland and King Leo- pold of Belgium, neutral sover- cigns whose territories were di- rectly menaced by German aggres- sive purposes. - The heads of the warring powers listened politely to their pleas, but gave little indica- tion of willingness to consider the culling of a conference at this time to examine the 'bases for peace, ; President Roosevelt from his corner warned that the world needed a "new and better peace" than that which followed the first CGréat War. ™ The most sensatiznal single event of the week «i: the sup- posed atiempt on Ndol Hitler's life in the shrine of Nazidom at Munich. The mystery surrounding the explosion led to a number of interpretations and questions: Was it the work of anti-Nazi Ger- man patriots? Was it the result of 'internal intrigue among the Nazis themselves, one faction try- ing to kill off members of the other? Was the explosion perpe- - trated in order. to enlist the flag- ging sympathy of the masses for the Fuehrer? One theory the ex- plosion did substantiate: all was not well with the Nazi regime. + Bulgaria Wooed The most courted nation of the week was Bulgaria, long regarded as a strategic 'doorway' to south- ern Europe. -wSimultanedusly wooing her were the Allies. Ger- many, Soviet Russia and Italy. Ger- 'many offered economic conces- sions; Italy signed a trade pact with her (striving to stem both Soviet and German expansion in "the Balkans); satisfaction of Bul- garia's dreams of getting back Do- 'bruja from Rumania was held out "as the Soviet lure; while Britain took steps to improve Turkish-Bul- garian relationships.
