glory that was Greece and nothing of the

What effect it will have on the progress
trends or outcome of the general war is far
from clear. One obvious fact is that Italy has
tackled much harder job than it anticipated
when it laid its ultinatum on Greeces door

every foot of their land under attack and even
launching counter-attacks against the in
vaders.
Obvious, too, that Mussolini would not have

been allowed to take no step in any direction
without Hitler's nod
On this showing it is inconceivable that
Hitler should tell Mussolini to 60 his own wav
without also warning him that if he fails the
Nazi military machine will take command of
his armies, his air force and his navy. The

he mentioned attractive fine tourist camps as
primary need.
With some exceptions, he said, North Caro-
lima has few of them which any self-respecting
tourist would care to patronize. For the most
part they are flimsy shacks without modern
conveniences, poorly furnished, minus land
scaping, and as poorly conducted as they are
constructed.
There can be no doubt that most cities in
the state on main-traveled highways are mis-

every year, because enterprising citizens have
failed to provide tourist camps of the best
type for transients
Wilmington is not exempt from this broad
charge. 10 be sure there are two camps in
this vicinity which do make an effort to rival
similar camps in other sections where the
tourist is courted and his patronage is the OBJ

He called over his secretary and
dictated a tumble of sentences full

It was absolutely meaningless.
When it was typed, Hitchcock took
it and the newspaperman over to
Miss Carroll and introduced the
embarrassed guy as new dialoS

his freshly-written dialog for the
next scene.

and it was happily participated in
by everyone at any time.
In the past couple of years there
have been no really popular new
pastimes. Most Of those devised
have been too difficult to be fun
ny. AS a result, there seems to be
more dead-pan ribbing and double
talk than ever before.
HITCHCOCK GOES
TO BAKERSFIELD
Take Alfred Hitchcock. That
physically gross, artistically fine
director now is making a picture
called ''Mr. and Mrs. Smith," with
Carole Lombard and Bob Mont
gomery. Miss Lombard is perpetu-
ally exhausted with laughing at
Hitchy. who she says is ''but really
funny and "out Of this world"
To the actress, almost everything
is "but really swell' or but
really lousy" or but really some
thing g-or-other. AS a complimenta-
ry superlative, she says. 'It's out
of this world"
Anyway, Hitchcock has begun
playing ribbing game which
might be called Going to Bakers
field He approaches some vis-
itor on the set and earnestly asks
whether he ever has been to Bak-
ersfeld. How far is it? How long
does it take to drive? How long
by train? Is Bakersfield hot? How
hot? What sort of people live
there?

significant study. At a time when
the American people no longer look
on big fortunes as compatible with
the best interests of the nation, it
serves as sort of footnote to the
heroic age of American enter

history of the country's industry in

But that is precisely what you
might expect in a book from Mr.
Nevins, whose reputation as a
biographer has long been secure
What you want to know is what
Mr.. Nevins thinks of the reputa-

to "understand' Rockefeller and if

his critics Mr.. Nevins does not
hesitate to turn to them. On the
other. hand, he has had the unfet-

feller family in research.
The result is thoroughly

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D

A week ago I quoted the saying
of my friend, DR.. Thurman Rice,
Director of Public Health, of Indi-
ana, that try as he might he could
not think of any dish that had
more vitamins than bowl of
Strawberries and cream. l seem
to have the faculty Of creating op-
position by my remarks, which
troubles me because l am natur-
ally of a peaceable and calm dis
position and try to avoid argu-
ments and this time l had num-
Der of sneering letters, which not
only sneered at me but also at
Strawberries.
1 am happy to be able to justify
DR.. Rice and myself and straw
berries by reporting on a brand
new research.
Vitamin c is substance which
every being needs pretty regularly
from birth to old age. If a regular
supply is not on hand the results
range from mild to a severe case
of scurvy, to death. Very few peo.
pie have scurvy and very few doc.
tors have even seen case except
under most unusual conditions, so
the conclusion would seem to be
widely and generally distributed in
Nature. It's pretty hard for us not
to get any Vitamin c if we follow
the ordinary habits of diet.
In the first flush of our enthusi
asm about vitamins it used to be
stated that lemons and oranges
contained the vitamir in the best
quantities. Then tomatoes were
said to have even more vi. .min C
than oranges. We really ought to
have known better than to stress
these substances because we heard
and repeated the historical story
of the case of Jacques Carter's
sailors who had scurvy and were
cured by the leaf of a tree on the
banks of the St. Lawrence. Then
Mr.. Wilhalmijhr Stefansson told us
that he had lived a long time in
the Arctic and by eating meat
alone prevented scurvy. So we
might have concluded that even
though the body canne manufac-
ture it or store it, it must be pres
ent in most articles of food.
