CHILDREN AND WEIGHT

Some months ago I watched l procemion of school children-boys and girls-and 85 I nbfod their banners 1 knew just what section of the city each group "Pfflflllbd.

where the group Nprflented a district where the people were for- eign born, they were not as tall as those representing districts in which the parents were natives of this country. They were however a little more rugged in appearance; that is they had wider shoulders and hips and wen: a little heavier even for their age.

In other words it would appear that our children while taller than the children of previous generations are not really as strong. That they are taller has been proven by the record of one of our older prepar- atory schools where the grandchild- ren of former pupils have been found to be too tall, too long for the beds in which their grandfathers slept comfortably.

It has been found that while a few generations back the number of these long slender individuals num- bered about one in five persons, it stitution owing to the ‘entire fai1- h” 0°" "Ema-Bid 5° "i" l" w“- ure of Indians to agree, the Consti- , smut“ “w” 5° P“ cent 351°“ “Mon ought to be one m which ' the present generation of children

The interest of the modern world is economic, not political. The average man is getting to be stirred little by talk of liberty so long as he is made more prosper- ous every year. The Roman plebs wanted bread and circuscs, and to- day in Germany the demand for the coming times is lower priced bread and free seats in the cine- ma for the unemployed. The mo- dem man in the street wants mo- vies, a car, and what he calls his “standard of living." Political de- mocracy has brought neither so- cial nor economic equality.

It is no concern of Great Britain, says the London Daily Express whether the impoverished Danube States are formed into a Customs Union or not. On the other hand. it is a matter of the greatest con- cem to France. These countries are her satelites. She holds the hege- mony of the Danube. She has pur- chased their support for French power, and now she is anxious about her investment. Great Bri- tain will not pay to retrieve French losses. Even if Mr. MacDonald is doubtful on that point. the British nation is of one mind. This is 1932 not i914.

really a little underweight; but in a general way weight gives a good idea of the health of the child. The imderivsisiit youngster is more like- ly to be nervous, feel the cold more, have more colds, stands poorly, and is more likely to develop tuberculos- is than the youngster of normal weight.

And having a little extra weight right up to the age of 25 to 2'1 is important as our insurance compan- ies have shown that ‘in the early twenties, the death rate increases about l per cent for each pound be- low average weight for age."

So watch the rapidly growing youngster. See that he sits and stands erect. See also that he gets "Oiiflfllln! fwd and Plenty of sleep. Sleep and food should increase weight, and weight is most import- ant at this age.

The Bombay Riots

(Montreal Gazette)

For the past few months affairs in India. have been comparatively quiet, thanks to the firm policy iidoifled by Lord Willingdon, who put teeth into the law and gave notice to the Nationalists insur- gents that their civil disobendience campaign is uiesai and that sedi- tious propaganda would not be tol- erated by the British authorities. The Viceroyis decree had a salutary effect. Unfortunately, however, the hostile feeling between the Hindus and Moslems _is still a menace to the peaceful udmmistration of the Indian Empire.
