Nov. 13. (AP) Good news for thousands of mothers worried about their children's weight la contained In a scientific pamphlet soon to be published here describing a new method of considering width as well as height In determining normal weight. "Width -weight" tables have been worked out by Dr. Helen Brenton Pryor. assistant women's medical ex aminer at Stanford, after five yeara of careful study and tabulation of more thsn 10,000 children and col lege students. They give the child seven chances to the one he had be fore to weigh the proper poundage for his age, sex and height. The system depends on measuring little David's bl-lllac diameter his wiatn at tne crest or me nip-ooneoj with sliding calipers. It has been used to a II mi fed extent with school children for two years, but is just extended Into pre-school and college fields for general use. "Tests that have been made so far," declared Dr. Pryor, "Indicate Injustice has been done to about 30 per cent of those measured and, labeled too thin or too fat under the old one-dimension tables." So when David brings home a card from school warning that he msy be under-nourished, bis mother may be right when she protests In dignantly, "David Is perfectly well. He doesn't need to' be any fatter; tho Perkinses are-Just built that way." The stocky girl who pines to ne willowy and starves herself into nervous Irritability may Just as well ,jive It up after a glance at her bl- lllac measurement and the new charts. She could devote her energies to designing becoming clothes for herself as she Is. MOTOR COACH PLAN FAILS IN PORTLAND PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. IS.

OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, TOY FINDS OF E Nothing sharpen the patriotism of an American so much as & tour of Europe. ThK Is the conviction today of Clarence J. Toy. who has Just returned from a Journey that took him through several of the principal countries of Europe. He spent four and a half months on hla tour and visited In England, Wales. France, Italy- Aus tria, Germany and Belgium. While abroad he wrote & aeries of articles for the Mail Tribune and they were declared by many readers to be among the most sprightly, penetrat ing and entertaining travelogues they had ever read. "The standard of living In moat European countries la so low that Americans, even the most Impover ished, would loath to change places with the Europeans," Mr. Toy said. "The way most of the people over there live Is really pitiable. Tho poor est family In this country Is well off by comparison." European statesmen have done nothing to temper old war hatreds, Mr. Toy said, but on the contrary seem Intent upon keeping them allvg. War hysteria Is prevalent In all the countries he visited and soldiers may be seen in even the smallest hamlets, he asserted. There Is a general feeling of distrust and a fear that war may descend upon them at almost any moment, he declared. "In Paris may be seen large signs that tell the people how to protect themselves In case of air raids," Mr. Toy related. "And while I was in Paris the streets were being ripped up so that underground shelters might be provided against he rav ages of bombings from abov5." He found Italians to be very bitter against England. While he was treated fairly enough in all the countries he visited. Mr. Toy said that Germany was the fair est when It came to changing for serv ices and commodities. While prices there were high, he wns asked to pay no more than the natives paid where as In the other countries the prevail ing practice was to mulct the Ameri can tourist for all It waa thottght h would stand. Mr, Toy said. Even when charges were pre-arranged, some ex cuse would be found in most coun tries for extracting an additional pay ment, sometimes only a pittance, from Americans. Mr. Toy arrived back In New York October 17. He was met by his mother, who lives.ln California, and they pro ceeded by train to Detroit where Mr. Toy bought a new car. From there they motored to the west coast. Mr. Toy is employed by the Califor nia Packing corporation. Upon his re turn he was Informed of a promotion to the company's Portland office and henceforth will be stationed In the upstate city. Charles Roberts, who substituted for Mr. Toy here, will re main as bis successor. Ose Mall Tribune want ads. Ml CONTINUES 1 . M.
