P.)—More than 350,000 tons of foodstuffs and raw cotton have been shipped to Poland via Danzig from the United States since last Febru- | ary. For a time these supplies were arriving at the rate of 5000 tons daily. A shipment of 150 locomouves | is* expected soon. Th American Relef Administration for feeding BEuropefn children directs its work, in . Poland from, Danzig. John H. Lange of Seattle, Washi, and Captain C. A. Abele, naval attache at Warsaw, are in charge. Mr. Lange told The Associated . Press ‘corre- spondent that in' Poland alone the American Relief Administration was now feeding about 1,000,000 children. “We expect.” he said, “to do some relief work in Germany before long, especially here in Danzig. There is very little milk in this district for children, and meat, Sugar and fats are also scarce. “Danzig. will soon be a free city and, as Poland's port is more Polish than German. At the present time the German government bears thp ex- pense of importing most of the foreign foodstuffs and sells it at a price which the people can afford to pay. This arrangemient will .cease soon and I think there will be urgent need then of our help.” SCN-IN-LAW OF CARRANZA HAS BEEN ON A DIPLOMATIC MISSION New York, Dec..18.—General Candi- USEFUL GIFTS | | ,_-.—pqv—-gupafl I.

Mass., Dec, 18.—The re- sults of this year's physical examina- tion of first year men at Harvard col- lege which was. conducted on an army basis, indicated “the intel'igence of an enlightened group of parents on the || subject of health.” According to Dr. er I. Lee, professor of hygiene, who submitted the report todav. The favorable aspect of tie report. however, was offset to some extent by a poor rating from the standpoint of bodily mechanics,. as 880 per cent of the men examinted were found. to lack ‘an excellent mechanical contro! of their bod'es. Only 10 per cent. of | the men examined-could swim. Very few cases of poor teeth were inoted and there were verv ifew. cases of impairment of vision Only 37 persons.were found to wear glasses and 43.6 per cent. had had their tonsi's removed. The report on, bodily =mechanics which included care of the feet pos- ture both sitting and standing and zeneral control of the limbs, rated les< than one per cent..as good. 14.8 per cent. as fair; 4936 per cent. as less satisfactorv and 34.8 per cent. as “un- satisfactory.” “This shows,”. Dr. Lee said, “that our preparatory schools might™ do much toward preventine poor hahits of bodily use and also that it is de- «irable for the college to attempt cor- rection.” .
