SHIPS FOR CHILDREN, HOUSE DECIDES Representatives Favor Neu- trality Act Change to Assist Refugees Washington, Aug. 8.--~The House yesterday voted overwhelmingly to send American ships into European war zones tA remove thousands of refugee children, mostly British, who await an uncertain fate. The vote was on g bill by Repre- sentative Thomas C. Hennings (Dem., Mo.), who appealed to his colleagues to show "our traditional disregard for the consequences of a charitable deed bravely done." The measure, applying to children under 16 of all nations; would amend the Neutrality Act to permit the vessels to enter and leave com- bat zones after all belligerents had given prior assurance that they would not be molested. The ships would proceed without convoys and would be plainly identified by large American flags. An amendment by Representative John C. Schafer (Rep. Wis) re- quired that "necessary adult per- sonnel accompanying the children be composed of American citizens." Another amendment by Represen- tative John Taber (Rep, N.Y.) would make American citizens who accept refugee children personally liable for their support. A similar measure by Senator Carter Glass (Dem., Va.) is pending before the Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee, but the Hennings legislation may be substituted, Both bills are presumed to have Administration . endorsement since the State Department did not op- pose them. President Roosevelt said at g recent press conference, how- ever, that the problem requires careful consideration because of the hazards involved. Some of these hazards were men- tioned by Representative Earl C. Michener (Rep., Mich.), who asked what would be the attitude of the American people if one of the mer- cy ships were blown up by a float- ing mine, "This is the opening wedge to get us into war," he declared. "Just as night follows day, this will be fol- lowed by other legislation that will get us into the conflict unless we are mighty careful." He did not oppose the bill, but doubted that prerequisite guaran- tees could be obtained from the warring powers. The measure is intended chiefly to benefit British children who face death or maiming in a German blitzkrieg. Hennings said there are 200,000 "who could be loaded, im- mediately on shipboard if there were ships to carry them." He urg- ed speed, "because signs multiply that the long-heralded Battle of Britain is soon to start, and the slaughter of innocents will be ap- palling." The State Department estimates that 1,000 British children already have been brought to the United States, with another 1400 arriving in five weeks. Lord Lothian, the British Ambassador, has appealed for American aid. He said Britain has not the ships to perform the job. Hennings took cognizance «of this. "This is g move, not to aid Eng- land, but of Christian deliverance,' he declared. "If we have left a par. ticle of our' vaunted humanity, of our traditional disregard for the consequences of a charitable deed bravely done, of our time-honored concern for the welfare of inno- cent victims of political persecution, this House will not hesitate to act, and act now." Even Representative Hamilton Fish (Rep., New York), a leading isolationist, supported the bill, while Representative = Emanuel Celler (Dem., New York) inspired his col- leagues by reciting the poem, "The Children's Hour." The House Immigration Commit- tee continued debating the sub- ject yesterday, and appointed Rep- resentative William T. Schulte (Dem., Indiana) chairman of a subcommittee to write a composite measure co-ordinating the major points of all refuge legislation.

KiDD ASTORY NOMINEE Kingston Conservatives Call Nomination Meeting for Tonight Kingston, Aug. 8--W. C. Crozier, president of Kingston City Conserv- ative Association, has announced that a meeting of delegates recently appointed will be held Thursday evening for the purpose of nominat- ing a candidate to contest the Fed- eral riding, vacant due to the death of Hon. Norman Rogers, who rep- resented Kingston for five years. It is understood that Hon. T. A. Kidd will likely be nominated. The Liberals are holding a eiti- zen's meeting on Friday evening when Hon. Agnes MacDonald, new- ly appointed Minister of Naval De- fense, will be accorded the nomina- tion, Mr. Macdonald will attend the meeting. There are many who believe that the Conservatives will not have a candidate. Mr. Kidd resigned his seat in the Ontario Legislature to contest the Federal riding against Mr. Rogers, who won by over 2,000 majority. The Liberals have offered the Conservatives the Ontario riding seat, without opposition, if they will grant Hon. Mr. Macdonald an ac- lamation.

Besides her husband, she s sur- vived by one sister, Mrs. Eunice Jennings and. two nieces, Maude Jennings, Oshawa, and Mrs. J. Cox, Bowmanville. Her brother, Frank Sykes, passed away early in June this year. ' The funeral is to be held at the family residence, Centre street, with a service et ¥ p.m. to be con- ducted by the Rey. J. 8. I.

The general lowering of the body's resistance to this steady ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS DO LITTLE HARM T0 PLANES One of the Big Dissappoint- ments of War--Proved Ineffective London, Aug. 8. -- Anti-aircraft defence has been a big disappoint- ment in this war. Prior to the outbreak of hostilitizs in September, 1939, many mlitary experts and army officers predicted that the AA gun, because it made such remarkable strides in firing accuracy since 1917, would sweep | the skies of many planes in any future war. Legends were built up about the ability of the gums, firing auo- matically, to score direct hits on targets travelling more than 200 miles per hour. German officers wrote articles for military journals in which they said in all sincerity that any air- plane which attempted to pass the ring of AA guns surrounding Ber- lin, Hamburg, Essen and other points would be annihilated. France circled Paris with anti- aircraft batteries, complete with searchlights and sound detectors, and felt secure against air attack. Britain scattered AA gun s around the countryside in September and waited. Of No Avail Eventually German bombers Anti-aircraft fire proved And thus far in the defence of England, of the 200 bombers which have been brought down, anti-aircraft fire has accounted for only seven -- all during the month of July. Despite this record, AA guns will play an increasingly important part in Pritain's defence. For German pilots, bombing during July with entered its first stage, know that direct hits on docks, factories, and airfields can only be scored by low, diving attacks. Planes, like AA guns, can hit what they can see. But both must have their target well spotted. One big lesson British AA strat- egists have learned is that a de- fended zone must be literally ringed with guns. Surrounding a city or air field with a few is no good. A screen of shells, completely cover- ing an area and exploding up to 15,000-foot altitudes, is the only real anti-aircraft defence. London is probably the safest city in England from this viewpoint. For every square yard of sky over the city is covered either with an anti-aircraft gun or a balloon.

The machine gun, as in 1917, is still king' of the battlefield against infantry attack. But as a defence against low-flying airplares it is ineffective. Its cone of fire is too small, "iy A battalion of marching soldiers is more effective than machine airplane, It was demonstrated in gun fire against a hedge-hopping Spain, Finland and the Low Coun- tries that a group of soldiers fir- ing rifles into the air can bring a plane down quicker because their fire covers a wider area. The three-inch, the 3.7 and the 4.5, Big Berthas of the AA defence, toss fragmentation shells to heights of 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000 feet. But like all modern AA guns the world over, their accuracy is neglig- ible above 15,000 feet.

While your own teeth are better than artificial teeth, they look better and chew better, they are not worth saving if in the opinion of your physician and dentist they are a menace not only to health put to life itself. The large number of cases of dis- ease and death following absorp- tion of poisons from infected teeth should make us gall willing to get rid of our own teeth if this is ad- vised by physician and dentist.
