LONDON. Aug. 13-While alarms
stalked through Europe today, the
British war ofiice warned all Britons
holding military rank that they must
get special certificates in order to

travel in Germany.
Almost simultaneously France
clamped down regulations virtually
forbidding French citizens to 60 to
Italy, whose relations with France
steadily have become colder since
German Chancellor Adolf Hitler's
Italian visit last May.
The French foreign ofhce an

NATIONAL DEFENSE. - Heavy
OUTLAWS for the building OF air
planes, naval vessels and equipment
for the Army and Navy are involved

Hawaii defenses will be strengthened

p. H. A.-More than 100000 per-
sons are living in homes financed
under the Federal Housing Admins
tration plan. This number is now
being increased at the rate OF APP
proximately 1880 a week as con-
sequence of the accelerated home
construction activities UNDER the lib
eralized FILA program put'into effect
last February. 1t is estimated, in
addition, that between five and six
million persons have been enabled to
improve their living conditions thru
the FILA Property Improvement pro-

EGGS WITH THICK WHITE
Eggs with a large quantity of thick
albumen, or thick white, are regard
ed as of excellent quality. Consumers
also want eggs with large percent
age of thick white becapset stands
up well around the yolki when bro
ken. Such eggs are particularly in
demand for poaching. Some fresh
eggs have more thick white than
others, and poultry specialists Of the
u. S. Department Of Agriculture
have been experimenting to find out
why. They find that a hens ability
to lay eggs with thick white is an in
herited characteristic. Some hens
lay eggs with a greater percentage of
thick white than other hens of the
same breed and in the same flock.
The season has a slight effect on the
percentage of white, but feed, per-
iods of light and heavy production,
and egg weight do not effect the per-
centage. Eggs with thick whites are
better for storage. 1t is the thick
white of an egg that tends to become
thin and watery in storage, and eggs |
with a large amount of thick white
do not reach this stage as rapidly as
do other eggs.

ANTI-CATHOLIC BIAS LAID
TO TEXT BOOK WRITER'S
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The Rev.
DR.. Joseph B. Code Of the Catholic
University Of America said yesterday
"anti-Catholic prejudice is implanted
in young, uncritical minds by text
book writer's who accept with blind
faith what the so-called first-class
historians hand out"
Speaking before the American Cath
olic Historical Society at its meeting
in conjunction with the American
Historical Association, DR.. Code de-
clared that the writing of English
history virtually anti-Catholic is
greatly responsible for that deplorable
prejudice which has been written into
England's past
Asserting that tine responsibility of
introducing truth into English his
Biography seems to have been left to
the specialists in law, economics,
finance and agriculture" DR.. Code
called upon American scholars ito help
remove the stupidities which have been
written into English literature and
history"

.A.A.A. CITES GAINS
IN SAFETY WORK
Student Training One of
Chief Advances Noted
in 1887,

The year 1887 was featured by the
greatest advance Of any single year in
preparing new drivers for their re-
sponsibility at tne wheel and in the
constructive education of both mo-
torists and pedestrians in sound prac-
tices for using the streets and high
ways
This statement was made today by
the American Automobile Association,
which has co-operated throughout the
year with high schools and colleges In
launching driver education and in
structor training programs. The ac-
tivity, started in 1885. augments the
A. A. A. grade school program of
posters. safety lessons and school
safety patrols in which some 250,O0O
boys and girls are enrolled.
Safety Education Gains.
The national motoring body cited
the highlights in the safety education
and driver training field during 1887
as follows:
Three States-Connecticut, New
York and Wlsconsin-enacted legisla-
ton requiring safety education in the
schools, making 20 States which now
require such education as a result Of
board of education regulations or State
laws.
More than 5000 high schools now
offer some form Of driver education
and approximately 100000 Sportsman
like Driving text pamphlets developed
BY the A. A. A. in collaboration with
educators were placed in the hands OF
students.
Colleges Cooperate.
Twelve outstanding colleges and uni
versities co-operated with the A. A. A.
In driver training work and offered
summer courses for instructors, fitting
more than 600 teachers to help meet
the demand for competent instructors
In high schools. In addition, l3 short
courses for teachers desiring to be-
come driving instructors were con-
Quoted in cooperation with State and
local educational authorities and COL
leges at scattered points throughout
the country.
Manufacturers of automobiles evil
denced new interest in training drivers
and the Pontiac motor division of
General Motors made available q feet
OF dual-control Pontiacs for use In

City Curb Cutting
Policy frightened
By Trustee Board

Indications that the FL Centre
city council may in the future pur-
sue a stricter policy regarding curb
cutting were noted Wednesday
night when trustees discussed four
applications for driveways.
Three applications, from William
Hudgins, J. H. Tackett and L. j.
Goree for residences. were granted.
A fourth, from General Petroleum
corporation for creating a 25 foot
wide driveway at a proposed bulk
plant at Third and Main streets,
was held up pending investigation
by the city engineers office.
Councilmen appeared to favor a
tightening of restrictions upon curb
cutting on main thoroughfares,
particularly regarding garages and
filling stations Don Davis. assistant
city engineer. mentioned San Diego
restrictions which provide that no
more than 60 per cent of frontage
can be used for driveway Council
men pointed out that in some in
stances garage or filling station
driveways can take up so much
room as to interfere with parking
facilities.
