Spain may be able to get some help from the, Argentine. In the case of the other countries, however, how-ever, their main hope seems to be the United States. Like the Argentine, Ar-gentine, the United States not only holds large, surplus carryovers carry-overs of foodstuffs of which it would be glad to get rid, but each one of these starving countries holds in this country frozen dollar dol-lar balances ample to pay for the food they need. Belgium, alone, has several hundred million dollars dol-lars in assets here. It is then primarily pri-marily a question whether it can be arranged to pass this food through the blockade if, at the European end, it can be taken in control by a tight, neutral agency which will supervise its distribution distribu-tion to non-belligerent, civilian populations only and a guarantee guaran-tee that it will not fall into other hands. French Village Portrays Story of Christ's Birth Les Baux in France, a village of shepherds, puts on one of the most dramatic Christmas celebrations in the world, and has done it yearly for over a thousand years. The peasants act out the whole Bethlehem Bethle-hem story. Joseph and Mary drive into the "City of David" with real oxen. Thousands of visitors come every Christmas eve to see the event. When Pere Noel Comes to France A French Christmas is a children's chil-dren's Christmas. The French Santa, "Pere Noel." comes on Christmas eve with gifts to pack into empty shoes. In southern France the burning burn-ing of the Yule log is a ceremony when wine is poured over it as it blazes in the hearth. Basket of Preserves Makes Welcome Gift A gift that anyone will appreciate is a basket of your own preserves. Take a half dozen or so of your prettiest and most delicious ones, tie gay bows of red ribbon around the tops, and put them in a wicker container. Then tie another bow on the handle and insert a card. Radio Message to Stars Because he needs a transmitter a million times more powerful than he can get, Francis H. Lupton, a radio engineer of Klerksdorp, South Africa, says he will have to wait until 1954 before he signals to Mars. His theory is that a signal of sufficient suffi-cient short wave length and of enough power would bridge the distance. dis-tance. "It would be necessary to use a transmitter with an input of 1,000 kilowatts," he explains. "It would be simple enough to reduce the wave length on my machine, but the input would have to be increased a million times." Built to last a Lif etime Use the cheapest Coal. Automatic Comfort.

Hoover Presents New Plans to Save Hungry in Europe Asks Dritish and Germans to Try Soup Kitchens in Belgium Bel-gium as Military Test TS10TS3 about ABU EOTfSiO By CHARLES B. ROTH Sharing From Heart One Thing Money Cannot Buy What is junk to us may be a bonanza to someone else. It occurred oc-curred to a dentist that his discarded discard-ed dental unit, with its drills and gadgets, would delight a bunch of mechanically minded high school boys he knew. Now 10 of them use it and howl for shop and metal work. Our automobiles present another form of unshared wealth. We have so much surplus seat room that we cease to know its value to people who have no cars or cannot drive. Many people make the mistake of assuming that the well-to-do do not appreciate modest gifts. Yet simple gifts, prompted by sincere affec-tion affec-tion and with no thought of return, make an even greater impression upon the prosperous than upon the poor, for sharing from the heart is one commodity that money cannot buy. A rich old codger once admitted that no gift had brought him quite such pleasure as a mess of fresh perch presented by his chauffeur's freckle-faced son. No, you don't have to be rich to be generous, but most of us are rich in the possessions which make generosity possible. If he has the spirit of true generosity, a pauper can give like a prince. Plain Nourishing: Food Young men of high school age and their active sisters can well follow the diet 'of Giles Steadman, commander com-mander of the new American passenger pas-senger ship, America, to their profit prof-it Although the commander can have his choice of caviar and every kind of elaborate hors d'oeuvres, food cooked in rich sauces, fattening fatten-ing entries and regal desserts from frozen puddings to crepes Suzette, he limits himself to clear soups, broiled or roasted meats, plain vegetables, vege-tables, salads, and stewed or fresh fruits in large quantities. Great quantities of fruit are important. For economy's sake, some of the weekly fruit allowance should be dried and stewed. Bananas are a good arid inexpensive standby, there should be some citrus fruit in the diet every day. Tomatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C. Canned grapefruit juice is equally as good lor vitamin C. At least two vegetables a day should be included in your foods. The vitamin content of canned vegetables is usually very high. Snakes Are Pleasant Companions Snakes are pleasant companions when you understand their attitude toward life, according to Miss Annette An-nette Loving, a snake-charmer with one of the leading circuses in the country. She says that a python is quite gentle as long as it Is Well fed. She allows them a single coil around her body and always keeps a hold on their tails, "because a double dou-ble coil is an invitation to disaster, and if they start tightening up on me, I twist their tails back and that makes them relax." Miss Loving Lov-ing said that it takes a snake about nine days to digest a meal and at that time she doesn't work with them, because they are as limp as a rope. Eat Meat in Heat According to the council on foods and nutrition of the American Medical Med-ical association meat is an important impor-tant diet at all seasons of the year. In a recent health magazine published pub-lished by the American Medical association as-sociation the following statement was made: "When it was argued that meat consumption should be greatly reduced in the summer, investigations in-vestigations showed that the increased in-creased metabolism which follows the eating of meat is common to the eating of all protein. The sensible step is to advise proper cleanliness and proper cooking, because of the increased danger of c-iitarnL-iwiticn in summer, rather than to discon-1 tinue eating the necessary foods." Chicago (Special) New plans to save the inhabitants of the occupied democracies in Europe from starva tion were presented by former j President Hoover at a mass meeting, meet-ing, held in the Opera House Auditorium here rast Sunday night. In expressing his appreciation to the two thousand public bodies who have supported this movement to aid these unfortunates, and the sixty thousand who have written letters of approval, Mr. Hoover explained ex-plained the purpose of the Committee Commit-tee was to expose to the world the facts of the food situation and to raise a voice In behalf of those tens of millions of innocent men, women, and children, now suffering from want of nourishment. Speaking as Honorary Chairman of the Committee on Food for the Small Democracies, he made public the proposals, submitted to the British and German governments a few weeks ago, to establish Soup Kitchens In Belgium as an Initial experiment to test out whether theserpeople can be saved without military advantage to either side. There Is nothing new in this war "March of Hunger," Mr. Hoover Hoo-ver told his audience. The consequences conse-quences of great wars are always famine and pestilence. The World War of 25 years ago brought hunger to three hundred million people. In the present conflict it Is coming faster and with more violence. Today To-day nearly three hundred million peopla are on rations more drastic, except in Germany and Great Britain, Brit-ain, than at the end of the third year in the last war. In this creeping creep-ing famine the most immediate danger dan-ger and greatest suffering is among the seventy million people in the democracies which have been overrun over-run by the German armies. Two weeks ago the Committee's American experts in Belgium reported re-ported that within a month the city and town population consisting of over eight mil-lion people would be without food unless supplies were brought in somewhere, somehow. NEW PROPOSALS In presenting the new proposals, Mr. Hoover said, "You are aware that this Committee has made proposals propo-sals to the belligerent governments that completely organized food control con-trol should be set up for the peoples on the lines of the last war. Those I proposals woul-d have given time to organize prevention. They are the ultimate necessity. But a distracted ' world is slow to believe, and we were reluctantly compelled to con clude that It must be confronted with ghastly reality before action could be hoped for. That ghastly reality has arrived in Belgium, Furthermore, while I do not agree to the grounds for the rejection of our previous proposals, yet If these people are to be saved, we must seek to meet those objections by proving our case in action. "Therefore a few weeks ago, we laid before the British and German Governments the following sugges tions: "First: That we make an . Initial experiment in Belgium to test out whether these people can be saved .without military advantage to either side.' "Second: That this test comprise feeding only through soup kitchens, where the people come to get then food and thus there can be no question ques-tion of feeding Germans,-. "Third: That at the beginning we provide for one million adults and two million children; the adults to receive half a pound of bread and an allowance of soup, the children to receive special food in addition, including preserved milk. This would require about 50,000 tons a month, of which about one-hart would be breadstnffs and one-half meats, fats, and food for children. "Fourth: That the German Governments Gov-ernments agree there is to be no requisition of native food. "Fifth: Both Governments to give Relief ships immunity from attack. "Sixth: The whole to be under the supervision and checks of some neutral body. "It Is my belief that the GermanB should cooperate to secure some breadstuffs from continental sources. But for meats, fats, and food for children there are no sources of supply on the Continent That must come from overseas, and that requires re-quires cooperation from the British to pass the blockade. "If we can make this experiment work In Belgium then such a plan can be extended to the other democracies. de-mocracies. It is primarily devoted to saving the unemployed destitute and the children, "These Governments have this plan under consideration. Mr. Hoover was of the opinion that the relief of these countries would not prejudice the British and wouM be of no gain to the Germans. The countries benefited are not seeking charity, and would defray all expenses. The amount exported from America would simply nse our surplus food. "To those who say it cannot be done," said Mr. Hoover, "the reply is simple at least let ns try it and if we fail that ends our effort. WHEN SHOULD A BUSINESS men often talk about the problem of when they should advertise most. Should it be when business is good and sales come easily or when business is slow and sales are hard? Those who believe in advertising most intensively when everybody has money, argue logically enough that it is wise, as Shakespeare him self pointed out several sev-eral centuries ago, "to take the tide when it serves." Advertising Ad-vertising then will prove of most value, some men believe. Those, on the other hand, who believe a business should spend money for telling tell-ing its story most aggressively when Mimes are slow, say that advertising is a business-building force and that it is, therefore, needed most when business needs building. Whenever we have a temporary lull in business we see the specta- 'cle of many advertisers "drawing in their horns" and refusing to spend money for advertising until times are easy once more. The late P. D. Armour, great packing magnate, had thr sanest view on the subject. He always told his associates: "Advertise when times are good, because be-cause then your dollars show greatest great-est returns. Advertise when times Charles Roth MAN ADVERTISE? are poor, because if you don't advertise ad-vertise then your public won't know what you have to sell." The public responds immediately to the man with courage enough to invest his money in advertising even when the condition of the market is not so good as he would like to see it. The public responds always to courage. In 1921, when America had a short business depression, A W. Erick-son, Erick-son, now dead, made the directors of a company in which he was interested, inter-ested, agree to spend $150,000 a month for advertising during the next 12 months. Business fetl off. The directors wanted, to renege. Mr. Erlckson wouldn't let them. He made them spend their monthly advertising allowance. al-lowance. He had faith. When prosperity returned, as it always does, that company, because of courageous leadership, skyrocketed skyrocket-ed to the top, a position it still holds. What had happened was that its public, you consumers, read those advertisements and subconsciously became friendly to a business which would continue to tell you its story, in bad times as well as in good. The public reciprocated by giving it its trade. Whenever a business man advertises adver-tises it shows he has faith in himself, him-self, in his community, in his goods and In his customers. He is a good business man with whom to trade. (r) Charles B. Roth. r - r i a f j FT1 I nr. .j.
