Why Clatos?

1. Because it contains added Vitamin D to ensure dense bone, fine teeth and firm flesh. Cow's milk, and thence

ordinary dried milks made from it, is at no time a rich source of this vitamin (British Medical Research. Council. 1932)

2. Because it contains added iron to prevent nutritional anaemia. Cow's milk is notoriously deficient in iron.. "The feeding of infants with milk to which iron has been added, considerably reduces the incidence of nutritional 'anzeria, raises resistance to infections..... and improves growth" (Ministry of Health's Circular 1290, 1932)

3. Because Glaxo is close to breast-

milk in composition, is easily digested and

is safe for your baby in all climates.

Mr. Cordell Hull said that the United States Astucic Fleet prepared, on short notice, o re- move about three thousand Am- ericans from the troubled zone if necessary, and added that the State Department is holding itself ready day and night to co-operate with the navy to get the vessels to the bones in sufficient time and give whatever protection necessary.

Mr. Hull further told the press conference that American diplo- mate and Naval officials conferred constantly with representatives of the other governments responsible for their nationals in Shanghai on the methods of protecting their

THE MERCHANT NAVY

Shortage Of Personnel

The shortage of skilled seamen and junior engineers in the Mer- chant Navy is still woefully acute. Only recently a large liner alled from Southampton three seamen short of her complement because no spare hands were avaliable in the port.

The same doleful story is heard in many other, shipping centres throughout the country. Condi- tions are no better than in Octo- ber last when there were no more than 1,158 unemployed seamen in thirty-two ports in the · United Kingdom, and such men as bog'uns and junior engineers were practic- aily unobtainable.

The shortage has largely been brought about by the slump a few years ago in the world's carrying

BOMBING

Nanking, Aug. 14. The Chinese authorities have opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the bombing of the International Settlement. According to the re-

port of the Squadron Commander, when the six Chinese bombers attempted to bomb the Japanese fagship Izumo they were met with a hall of shells from anti-aircraft guns, resulting in one Chinese plane being missing and two bom- bers" damaged, the pilots of the latter being wounded.

But while many Arms have gone out of their way to provide good amenities for their personnel, it cannot be denied that the living accommodation in many ships, particularly vessels of 4,000 tons and less which do about 75 per cent, of our carrying trade, has not improved side by side with the general standard of living ashore.
