BRITAIN MAY GET
OIL FROM PALESTINE

JERUSALEM, May II. OUP)
A large-scale oil industry may be
created in Palestine to help sup
ply Great Britain's need in war
time.
1t is estimated that there are
at least 200,O0O,0OO tons of btu
minous limestone in the lower Ju-
dean hills, from which oil could
be extracted to provide the near
est available supply for the Unit
ed Kingdom within the British
Empire in the event the pipelines
from Irak to the Mediterranean
wre cut during war. The oil con-
tent of the limestone deposits is
estimated to be from 5 to 25 per
cent.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HERE WE GO

The Tennessee Valley Authority and the City OF
Knoxville have made joint offer OF S''ooo'ooo
for properties of the Tennessee Public Service 20
This" says Mayor Walter Mynatt lis our top hg
ure, our final Offer" and the unconceaIea threa'
to the company is that it has the ALTERNATIVE VI
selling out or being forced out.
Perhaps it was in the presidents mind before
he came into office that public utilities should DC
nationalzed. But If it was he did not say so. we
have gone back over his campaign speech at Port
land Ore, in September of 1882, and ind there
staSed the credo that where power sites were gov
ernmentally developed,
a.. private capital should be given the
first opportunity to transmit and distribute
power on the basis of the best service and the
lowest rates to give a reasonable profit only"
This hypothetical situation is exactly analogous
to the Knoxville situation and if anybody knows
of hearings having been held to determine the
quality of the service furnished and the reason
ableness of the rates charged by the Tennessee
Public Service Co., let him speak up. Such hear
ngs have not been held of course Indeed, IVA
had hardly started operating until it was trying
to buy up TIPS. 1t made an offer in 1884 and Ifo
accepted, but litigation blocked the DEAL
Nor do We find in the Presidents message pro-
posing IVA to Congress any intimation of the
naturalization of privately-owned utilities in this
area Quite the opposite. The President said spe-
officially that the potential public usefulness of the
entire Tennessee River Valley
g. transcends mere power development: 1t
enters the wide fields of flood control, soil ero-
sion, afforestation, elimination from agricultural
use of marginal lands, and distribution and di-
versification of industry"
From the start, however, the accent of IVA has
been first and last upon power production, upon
the displacement of private utilities. Piece by
piece it is gorging itself on private enterprise, all
the while assuming such proportions as to make
il glaring example of that very bgness which the
President detests in other than governmental or
ganization.
And what has happened in the Tennessee Val
ley can and most probably will, happen elsewhere
and in other industries than power production.
The President plainly said as much in his iva
message:
eff we are successful here we can march on,
step By STEP in a like development of other
great natural territorial units within bor-
ders. ." ~
And he processes to wonder why the power COM
panies hesitate to make those two three billions
in capital improvements which would provide such
lift to the country in its present state of acute
depression Charlotte News. ..

roo MANY TOES TO WATCH
(By BRUCE CATTON)

Ever since the moving picture graduated
from IFS old nickelodeon status and be-
came big league entertainer, serious folk
have been waiting impatiently for 1t to
grow up. ~ ..a :>...-
Once in while, to be sure, something
like Snow White" comes along to indl-
cate that the movies have indeed grown
up-in spots, anyhow. But for the most
lcnt the industry's long adolescence con-
tvrues, and signs of maturity are regret
tably few.
. 1t was a big league movie producer
lSne other than Samuel Goldwyn--who
mt his finger on the reason for this.
Q MIR. Goldwyp announced the other day
That he was going to, make a film drama
tEing the exiting of the Jews from Ger
many This promptly raised a storm of
rEotests from the other movie barons, who
objected thar the American movie bust
ness in Germany wertld be ruined. So Mr..
0oldwyn replied:
s"Why should Sam Goldwyn wait 200
Years: to make picture of the most dra-
Ratic thing that has happened in this gen
afatien?" .-'-.-... f
q If the movies are to. make any claim to
,Saturity at all, the only possible answer
ID such question is: "He shouldn't Yet
the peculiar conditions under which movies
are produced make it almost impossible
for such an answer to be returned.
For Hollywood makes movies for all the
world 1t has to guard it's foreign mar
kets with the most Jealous, care. And if it
makes picture that offends totalitarian
government-as for instance, in Germany
it runs the risk of facing quota restric-
tons or other reprisalS which will cut off
sizable part of its profits. ~ -"
Consequently the industry has had to
surrender it's independence. 1t may not of
fend anyone as a result, it must fight shy
of all the great. living issues which are
absorbing the world today. And as long as
it does that, it cannot pretend to have
reached maturity.
Now Mr.. Goldwyn apparently is going
to try breaking this rule. He proposes, as
he says, to make film like the newspa-
per prints the news telling a dramatic
story as be sees it without worrying about
the toes that get stepped ON in the process
and every movie-goer should hope that he
remains firm in his resolution. -.
The movies will some day be one of the
most tremendously important cultural and
educational agencies on earth. They will
offer an entertainment that is living
breathing, truly adult. Hvt -.
But they won't so and do those things
until they find some way of shaking off the
restrictions impesed,by their slavery to the
foreign market -

 There is no better beauty treat ment for tired skin which has mud dy or sallow undertones than eight or nine hours of deep, restful sleep every night for 8 week. If your face lacks that alive, rested look and your skin seems to have aged ten years in two or three weeks, try the simple sleep treatment before any other.
 Resolve to go to bed every night at least half an hour before the time that you know you must fall asleep if you are to get your nine hours. If you are even faintly given to insomnia, better not read any, thing that makes you think or worry Save your serious reading matter for later. This is your week to sleep soundly and long, and consequently to lift about five years from your face.
 Do few limbering and stretching exercises to take the kinks out of your neck and then take a bath in water at body temperature before you go to bed. Clean face and throat carefully incidentally, unless your skin is ultra sensitive, scrub with a complexion brush) and smooth on your richest night cream.
 If the weather is hot, be sure that the air in the room circulates. If all of the windows are on one side, and the wind doesn't happen to be blow ing from that direction, then put small electric fan opposite the win dows and tilt it toward the ceiling.

 If Mrs. P.

There are a good many such places. inspected and passed" by the health department, where it is a grave risk to eat anything raw.
 Cooking kills germs and makes food safe. Pasteurizing kills dis ease germs in milk, if the milk is of indifferent purity. Certified milk is the pureSt and safest grade of milk any one can drink anywhere provided it is served in the orig inal container.
 Raw beef or other meat is risky to eat-cooking destroys possible larvae of tapeworm in raw beef, of trichina in ham or pork.

 For dancing is more important in college than it ever was before. It is especially important for a girl to be good dancer-annost requisite if she cares about dating. Men, of course, can usu- ally get by even though their awkwardness does ruin good music for every girl with whom they dance.
 Another thing the young person waiting for college might do is to brush up on his knowledge of what is right" and what is wrong" in the matter of manners. For it is surprising how many students get to college and find themselves won- dering for the first time how to get through a receiving line or how to answer an invitation to a rush party
 It wouldn't hurt either to give the problem of What to take?" little consideration. The student who finds himself in the jam of enroll ment is likely to take any subjects that anyone suggests-only to wonder why in few weeks.
