Crops Still
Need Rains

Crops in this section are still in
need of rain, despite the generous
showers Of last Friday night and
Saturday. according to some obServ-
erS. who said today the ground was
so parched that the precipitation Of
two days was readily soaked into the
hot soil.
For tobacco and cotton especially,
hot nights are also needed right now
to assure maturity of the choicest
types of those crops. For week or
two, cool nights have been the rule,
some so cool as to require blankets
for comfortable sleeping. This sort
of weather is not by any means ideal
for growing crops.
Skies were hazy to cloudy today,
with some prospects Of additional
showers soon. and farmers were hop
ing for this additional moisture.

Silent Motors Next

The United States as we'll as Britain claims
a paint which renders airplanes invisible, but
whereas the American paint is said to be
effective only up to two or three hundred
yards and on hazy days, the Germans admit
their searchlights are unable to pick up Brit
ish planes at high attitudes.
The new American product is not perfected,
but a San Francisco dispatch reveals that
American manufacturers have been applying
a paint to the under sides of planes ordered
by foreign combatants for some time, and
if this is what the Nazis can't find aloft il
must have passed the experimental stage.
Now, if warplanes are to wing their way
over detectives without being seen, it only
remains to make them n~oiseless to give them
unlimited powers of destruction. Silent motors
seem to be the next step. When they come no
foe can hope to do much against them.
~ Why must the agencies of death be made
more and more effective with the world So
greatly in need of peace? We're the inventive
genius now applied to war employed for civil.
cation, the world would be a pleasant dwelling
place.

capable direction of Mexican Maffitt.
Wilmington civic clubs, from whose member.

have given the forum their blessing and pro-
missed their support. This, coupled with the
attractive program, should assure an over sub
scription of tickets and allow the forum to
conclude its season without a deficit. But it is
not to be inferred that support of the project
is limited to Wilmington's civic organizations.
Everybody interested in the major problems
of the day and trends in world affairs is
urged to buy tickets and profit by the lee.
lures. The purchase will unbalance no family
budget.
1t will be mutually advantageous to the
forum and the citizenship of Wilmington if the
