20. London. Aug. virtual nationalization of the food industry of Great Britain, and the creation of boards to ensure low prices in the interest of public health are advocated in an unusual documpnt which has been drawn up by a body of eminent scientists and public administrators who have ben studying the grave effects of malnutrition in the country. The memorandum, issued by the Committee Against Malnutrition, points out that the majority of people of Great Britain at present cannot afford to buy certain essential foodstuffs.

Food boards, the scientists say should be established under the control of a responsible cabinet minister to control nrices in such a way as to insure supplies which are not ai present ensured Dy me operation of the law of supply and demand. Marketing Directors Urged. The boards also would market these supplies through public concerns, thus ensuring low prices and good quality. It is argued that a steadily rising demand for foodstuffs would encourage the producers to be much -more'enterprising. Assistance by loans and subsidies, controlled supplies and prices for fertilizer and fodder materials would encourage producers to devote attention mainly to dairy, eez.

fruit and veeptahl farming, and this would open the way for the importation of wheat, sugar and such like foodstuffs from countries where they are more economically produced. It also is advocated that the government make itself responsible for free dinners for all school children. Called of Vital Need. The memorandum concludes: "This Is a question of national importance. We trust that from now onward all who have the national welfare at heart will begin to discuss how the problem shall be solved.

Clearly the solution is not a simple one. But out of the conflict of ideas there should soon arise some theory of national progress in nutrition that will gain wide public acceptance." Among the famous scientists contributing to the memorandum were Dr. Julian Huxley, secretary of the Zoological Society; W. E. Le Gros Clark, Oxford professor of anatomy; A.

St. G. Huggett, professor of physiology at London University; Sir F. Gowland Hopkins, professor of biochemistry at Cambridge University, and V. H.

Moltram, dietic expert of London University. Mama and Papa are two big; jumbo frogs. They have been pets for two or three year. Spooky a little green frog-lives up to his name. Once Spooky hopped out of his aquarium and hid under a nearby radiator.

When Mrs. Mason's maid began to dust under his retreat, Spooky Jumped out. Another Green Frog. The other frog possessing a name is Allan. He is another green frog, the namesake of the little boy across the street who found him in Michigan.

Her other dozens of "hoppers" are "nameless. All are very tame around people they know, Mrs. Mason said. But the presence of strangers makes them "hopping mad." "It's the bunk that handling toads gives you warts," the feminine frog-fancier said. "When I was a little girl in Michigan I always was carrying an apron full of toads.

And I never had a single wart." She told how she cares for her leaping pets. "I go out in the back yard and dig worms for them. After it's rained is the best time. And at night I get them night crawlers." Tickle Their Palates. The latter especially tickle their palates, she said.

"I used to keep them In an outdoor pool, but cats bothered them so now they live in the basement." The frogs have a private swimming pool in the basement. a washtub filled with water. The toads, however, would drown in this. They frequent a water-filled pie-tin. Once in a while they "jump in" and spatter themselves a bit.

Mrs. Mason said that they all hibernate become dormant during the winter months. When they go to bed "for their long winter nap" depends upon the weather. It it's a cold fall they retire about Oct. 15.

If it's warm, they "stay up" longer. With no alarm clock to wake them they "hop out of bed" about May 15. Mrs. Mason keeps them well covered during their lengthy naps.
