 '1taly's programs were straight propaganda South America was disgusted,' he said.
 We were told that summaries of American news certainly are cul- tural, if that helps any.

There's something different under the sun that shines in '39.
 New beach clothes emphasize femininity and frills.
 That gamin look is gone. Pinafore beach dresses, little-girl suits, prin- cesse play dresses and flaring skirt ed suits are going to dot the sands this summer. Some are edged with frills and others even trimmed with pastel rubber flowers.
 Cotton makes scores of suits for surf and sand. Elastic effects have been used more widely than ever to give a trim, fitted look. Colors include almost everything from gay reds, blues, violets, and greens to softer cyclamen, rnauve, chartreuse, and lime; some pale pastel shades, and white Accessories -draped tur- bans, big bags and gaily strapped cork -soled sandals-sound final feminine note.
 There are lots of little-girl suits made of checked ginghams, printed and striped cottons. They follow a full-skirted princesse cut are often frill edged, and made over jersey foundations which have trunks.
 White rayon alpaca, jersey, elas- ticized satin, plaid silk gingham and more gay cottons make thousands of the dressmaker suits which oc- cupy a large place in the fashion sun. The draped bustlines and suave princesse lines of some are reminiscent of evening gowns Others are designed with pantie- skirts full enough to disguise their bifurcated cut
 A number of suits combine sep arate brassiere tops and shorts which leave midruff exposed.
 For serious swimmers, there are scores of wools, elasticized to mold the figure almost as trimly as a girdle. A modified maillot cut with a panel front and another with a Seml-1lared ,SKlrt are 1aVoi1teS.
 Smart beach coats are short exactly suit length. Many are white. lined with 4ontrasting color to match the suit and topped with a peaked hood Some long ones are going to be seen too.

BURIED BY SUB DISASTER

bORlED bI oOD Dloho ER
 The commissions announcement came out just as the submarine Squalus was occupying the head lines, so it didn't have a chance for real news play. Culture col. lapses before calamity, to coin a calamitous alliteration.
 In it's official pronouncement the commission steered clear of defin- ing what could be included in the culture of this country" A young gentleman at the commissions pub lie information section said the commission had deliberately avoid ed a definition. He thought neither the commission nor anybody else could define American culture. Af- ter all, the commission is not re- quired to say what IS culture. It must decide only what is NOT cul- ture. And if a station broadcasts tco much of that it will lose it's license.
 We think we could name a num- Der of programs which would startle foreign nations if they thought it truly represented Amer ican culture. And that is one of the responsibilities the commission takes upon itself. Anything which is broadcast from now on into the international air is bound to be aci cep ed as official American culture
 When we suggested this at the commission we were hastily re- minded that the commission does not even pretend to look at the pro grams before they are broadcast; only atterward. But how is South American or New Zealand listener to draw that distinction when he hears coming over the air the de. lightful epic about the three itty fishes in a itty bitty pool" who "fwam and they fwaln wight oveh the dam"
 Love Thy Ncighb0r'
 The crder doesn't apply to pro- grams broadcast for home consump- tion That may sound like fright ful discrimination against the do- mestic radio consumer but he must take it with a Spartan smile. The best is none too good for our for eign relations just now.
 Commission employees conceded they were a little bit perplexed why the commission had issued the order.

WASHINGTON, June 26. - The Government has ordered the export of enlightenment and civilization.
 That is the gist of an order by the Federal Communications Com mission to the IA radio stations in this country currently engaged in broadcasting programs to our neigh Dor countries, more particularly those to the south.
 Stations broadcasting information ally, says the commission, must render only an international broad cast servict which will reflect thF culture Of this country and will promote international goodwill, un- delstanding and cooperation.
 That puts culture, which the die tionary calls enlightenment and civilization" on an official plane.

Louisiana Purchase

When Napoleon Bonaparte, in
1903, then first consul with one foot
on the imperial ladder, turned sales
man and knocked down a distant
empire known as the Louisiana Pur-
chase for three cents an acre, he
probably did not dream that the
country that purchased the vast do
main would in few years become
a haven Of exile for members Of his
family after his grand debacle at
Waterloo. Or did he? It is histori-
cally significant that it was suggest
ed in the treaty by Napoleon him
self that the territory thus ceded
should become the background of
future American states, says the
Kansas City Times. Then, after the
fateful sun of Waterloo went down
in the last tragedy Of his military
and imperial career, it Is known that
he dallied with the thought Of escap-
ing to America with his brother, JOS
eph, king Of Spain, but the fates
ruled otherwise. His hesitation took
him to the rock of St. Helena. But
his canny brother did seek safety
in American exile and lived here
many years, preceded and followed
by others Of the Bonaparte family.

Andres Notable Figure
In Early Boston History

Sir Edmund Andres, who was born
on the island Of Guernsey, in the
Channel islands, on December 6,
1887, and who died in London in
February, TIA, left his marks on
American history. AS a friend of
the duke Of York, brother of the
king, went to New York as COVER
nor in 1874, remaining there until
1881, writes correspondent to the
Detroit News. Five years later he
returned to the Colonies, to carry out
James II's idea Of consolidating the
New England colonies into one royal
province.
When they heard of the landing
of William Of Orange in England in
1859, the people Of Boston rose and
seized the royal officers, including
Andres himself. He was returned to
England for trial but acquitted, and
in 1892 was appointed governor Of
Virginia, where for five years he
had considerable success. From
1704 to 1706 he was lieutenant-gov-
ernor Of Guernsey. 1.-THE Dictionary
Of American Biography" says that
Though not popular with advocates
Of democratic government, never
theless, he was one Of the ablest
English colonial governors Of the
Seventeenth century" He was es-
sentially soldier, and where SOL
dierly qualities were needed his rule
was excellent; but he lacked under
standing Of business affairs and Of
Puritan psychology.

u. S. Considers Way To
Maintain Neutrality
In Case War Occurs
Diplomatic Heads Confer
On Quick Evacuation Of
Nationals In Europe

Washington, Aug. 22-Ways of
getting thousands of Americans
out of Europe and of protecting
United States neutrality in case
war comes were discussed Tues
day at an extraordinary meeting
Of representatives of five govern
ment departments.
A score of high officials repre-
senting the state, war, navy, treas
ury and justice departments, at
tended the session, which was pre-
sided over by Sumner Welles, act
ing secretary of state.
Any decisions that may have
been reached were not disclosed to
reporters, but a spokesman for the
maritime commission said plans
were being kept up to date for us
ing American flag ships in Eu-
ropean waters to evacuate United
States citizens in event of war.
Navy officials, predicting merch-
ant ships could bring away the
great majority of American refu-
gees from any conflict, expressed
the opinion naval vessels, if called
upon, would be sent only to out-of-
the-way" places.
England on Wednesday notified
Germany that she would resist with
armed force an armed invasion of
Poland, and called upon Adolph Hit
Ter to preserve the peace of Europe,
which has been lettering since the
German-Russo non-aggression pact
was signed.

Roman Names Given
To Months of Year

In ancient Rome, a new month
started on the day Of the new moon,
or the day after, so it is not sur
prising that we derive our word
month" from the ancient forms of
the word moon" Our word zeal
endar" is derived from "calendae,"
meaning the first day of the Roman
month. The derivations Of the
names Of the months in our calen-
dar follow:
January, from Janus, q figure in
Roman mythology who presided
over all beginnings. He WAS repre-
scented as having two faces-one
looking back to the year past, and
the other. looking forward on the
current year.
February Is from the Latin Feb
ruarius, meaning Ito purity" It
had its origin in the Roman festi-
walls Of the Lupercalia.
March was named for Mars, the
god Of war.
April is from the Latin aprilis,
meaning Ito open"
May is from Maia, the mythology
cal figure symbolizing growth.
June is from Junius, Roman
gems or clan.
July, named in honor of Julius
Caesar, who was born in this month.
August, named in honor of Angus
tus Caesar.
The remaining months were
named from the positions they held
in the calendar before its revision
by Julius Caesar. The earliest
Roman calendar had only 10
months: Martius, Aprilis, Maius,
Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, Septem-
Der, October, November and Deem
Der. While September is the ninth
month in our calendar, it was the
seventh in the Roman calendar and
derived its name from the Latin
septem, meaning Seven; October,
the eighth month, from octo, the
Latin for eight; November, the
ninth month, from novem, meaning
"nine," and December, the tenth
month, is derived from decem, the
Latin for ''ten."

First Prince of Wales
Named 600 Years Ago

Since the title prince Of Wales was
created by Edward I, in the year
1901, for his eldest son, there have
been 20 princes of Wales, including
the men who afterward became
Edward VII, George v and Edward
VIII. The late George v became
prince Of Wales when his father sue
ceeded to the throne in 1901. The
title may be bestowed on the eldest
surviving son Of the monarch, or on
his grandson If he is the nearest
heir. It is not inherited but is ex-
tinguished when the holder Of the
title becomes king or If he dies
before the ruler.
Wales was ruled by Welsh princes
from the Tenth to the Thirteenth
century. The last Of these was
Llewelyn, who was compelled to
submit to Edward I in 1877. On
Llewelyn's death in 1882 the title
ceased but Edward revived it for
his eldest surviving son and heir,
later Edward II. According to
legend, King Edward I in conquer
ing Wales promised the people that
if they ceased resistance he would
give them native-born prince who
could not speak word Of English.
Two years after Llewelyn's death,
this son Of Edward I was born in
Carnarvon in Wales. It was not
until 1901, however, that the title
was bestowed on him and by that
time he could certainly speak Eng
ish.

66-75 pound Washington feeding
lambs cashed at $7.75-8.10 this
week.
Supplies of slaughter cattle for
two days this week were sufficient
ly small to hold prices about steady.
Weightier steers were slow sellers.
Thin cows showed a touch of
strength. Stockers and feeders
were in largest supply of the sea-
son but held steady due to broad
demand. Most fed steers and yearl-
ings cashed at 100000, with year
lings and lightweights up to 1925
frequently. Common and medium
grassers got $6.5O-7.50. Medium and
good fed heifers made $7.5O-8.75,
choice heifers up to 1925, common
kinds $6.0O-7.O0. Beef cows bulked
at 100000, good cows ranging UP
to $3.50 mainly. Gamers and cut
ter cows sold at $35O-475. Good
sausage bulls earned $6.25-6.5O,
common and medium bulls 1925
600. The bulk of common and med
ium stocker and feeder steers sold
at $6.0O-750. Good to- choice west
ern type steers earned S7.75-8.75,
good steer calves up to $500. Dairy
cow trade held steady. Medium
and good springer cows cashed at
$55.OO-75.O0. Strictly good strong
weight cows suitable fer shippers
were quoted above $4,000.
Hog values followed an erratic
course but some downturns were
registered despite the curtailed re-
ceipts, as shipping support continu-
ed rather light. Compared with
Friday last week, butchers scaling
go pounds and down figured 10
25c lower while heavierweights
showed little change. Packing sows
changed very little although spots
were 1Oc off. Tuesdays sparingly
paid top of $500 was given for
choice around 21O pound weights en-
shipper account while the practical
high was s6.15 on 2OO-25O pound
averages. Light sows 300 pounds
down brought $5.25.

Mexican Shrub Yields
Vegetable Whale OH

Nature sometimes turns UP sur
prising things for the researcher,
and when one needed product be-
comes scarce substitute often is
found.
This is strangely true in the mat
ter Of whale oil. An oil similar to
whale oil now is produced from the
seed Of a shrub found In Arizona,
the lower part Of California and
Mexico. It is known by a variety of
names, the wild hazelnut, the sheep
nut and the goat nut. The Mexicans
know 1t as the jojoba, which Is pro-
nounced much more softly as ho-
hoba.
1t is a distant relative of the bet
ter-known and thickly branched box
wood. although it is dioecious-that
is. the male and female flowers are
borne on separate plants. Only fe-
male plants bear the nuts from
which the liquid wax comes.
The nut itself is not rare. For
centuries it has been relished by the
Indian tribes inhabiting the area,
and even the oil, which had not
previously been analysed, has been
used commercially as hair tonic.
The seed is egg-shaped and ridged,
and as rule is about one-haf inch
long and three-eighths of an inch
thick.
Twenty-Five pounds Of the nuts
were gathered in Sonora, Mexico,
and shipped to a commercial feed
firm in st. Louis. Then they were
sent to the bureau Of chemistry,
where the oil was extracted from
the seed. 1t was found that these
seeds yielded 5l.2 per cent Of light
yellow oil.
The testing of this oil started in
the usual way. First they treated
the oil with a strong alkali solution
as in soapmaking. Vegetable oils
under this treatment yield a soap
and glycerin, but jojoba oil yielded
only about SO per cent Of soap and
about so per cent of a yellow oil.
Gadoleic or eicosenoic acid, the prin-
ciple acid present in this soap, has
never before been found, except per-
haps in very small amounts, in any
vegetable oil. As its name indi-
Gates, it is closely related to oleic
acid, which is a usual constituent
of vegetable oils, but gadoleic acid
has 20 carbon atoms in its molecule,
while oleic acid has only 10 carbons
in its molecule. The results of these
tests, in which the component parts
finally were separated, showed the
difference between jojoba and all
ordinary vegetable oils.

One hundred years ago Salem
faced severe problem. Trade en-
bargoes. the opening of the Erie
canal, which diverted shipping lines
to New York, and other factors had
made her port second-rate harbor
along the New England coast. For
years Salem had been our chief
mercantile gateway to the Orient.
It appeared in 1889 that Salem was
definitely to remain forgotten city.
But Salem turned from its shipping
to manufacturing. Steam power
had just come to the attention of
New Englanders and q courageous
group Of citizens turned the power
Of steam into its development Of the

example of New England ingenuity.
The example Of 100 years ago is q

When twenty-one local hunters
