Medical Care

In the region of Southern ocean
waters, Florida and Southern Cali
fornia, bathers sometimes get a
dermatitis which the natives call
salt water Itch" 1t appears most
often in the armpits, coming on at
the same time on both sides. 1t is
very unlikely that it is due to salt
water alone. More probable is the
explanation that it is due to some
minute animal or tropical plant.
The old timers and regular bathers
are not so subject to it as the Wis
itors who acquire it in about two
to four weeks: this would make it
look as if the regular bathers &C.
quired an immunity.
The armpits are natural places
for fungus infections to grow: the
hair provides a good resting place
for them: the situation is warm
and moist, an ideal culture me
dunn.
AS to prevention, soap and fresh
water after the swim is the most
natural and easiest effective REM
edy. Applications of so per cent
alcohol and boric acid solution is
a good routine for after bathing.
The use of an oily application be-
fore bathing-oive oil, cocoanut
oil or petrolatum-is a good pro-
tective device.
Treatment of salt water itch''
after it has occurred, with calo-
mine lotion, salicylic acid ointment
or ammoniated mercury ointment
if secondary infection has &C.
cured, is reported to be success
full.

derweights, here is another diet to

BALTIMORE-An American air
craft manufacturer, visiting t e
German air ministry's imposing
edifice in Berlin last year, asked
an official, what happened to that
big, four-engine plane you had in
the blueprint stage a few months
ago?"
"Oh, that" responded the Ger
man. I'VE built it and discarded
it. 1t wasn't quite what we wanted
for production purposes"
In a brief seven months, under
totalitarian methods, the Germans
had drawn the plans for, built and
junked a mammoth winged war
machine. That provides another
piece of evidence on the smooth
efficiency with W h i C h Germany
has worked in shaping to the needs
of war a highly specialized indus
try.
The same problems in quick ex-
pansion, engineering and produc-
ton now face the United States in
meeting the demands of the armed
services for fresh thousands of
warplanes. Turning out $4,000 ma
chimes, and boosting American pro-
ductivity to that figure annually,
is a precision job on a mass-pro
duction framework.
Up to now the best American
plants have done is plan and man.
an airplane in ten months.
That was the time required for a
tWin-engine flying boat of sensa-
tional performance. AS a private
project of the Consolidated Aircraft
Corp, of San Diego, it suffered
from none of the delays caused by
the demands of buyers for
changes.
Ordinarily 20 months elapse here
between the time a design is
drawn and the first plane Of a
series, or ''prototype," rolls out of
the factory for flight testing.

Joulett, president of the Aeronauti-

It has been under way, in fact,
many months.
Warplane manufacture, however
in spite sof all engineers can do to
hurry production, will remain a
complicated process.
Here at the Martin plant there
are rs crafts and professions re-
presented among the $4,000 en-
ployes. Engineers are divided into

The germ of a design may origi-
nate with a prospective customer
the army, the navy or a foreign
government. Sometimes it origi-
mates with the plans design staff.
Preliminary engineering carries
the embargo plane to the point of
contract award. Then it becomes
a major engineering problem.
Most likely, a wind-tunnel model
embracing only the contours of the
proposed plane already has been
made and tested to predict the
performance characteristics. Now
others step into the picture.

(By The Associated Press)

Carol of Rumania is in trouble
again-but this time it is no ro-
nance.
The circumstances are too tragic
now to amuse those who once were
diverted by his eccentricities.
This time it is no elopement. but
a Red army in Bessarabia, a Hun
garian army on the edge of Tran
sylvania, a Bulgarian n on
the south and, over all, the shadow
OF Adolf Hitler.
Yet there was a time when Carol
was young and all of his troubles
however, much they may have
embarrassed his family and Ru-
mania's statesmen-held youthful
dash and a touch of whimsy for
the rest of the world.
1t was another Wharf.-The World
war-which was going on when
youthful Carol, son Of Hohenzol-
lern Prince and great-grandson of
an English queen, first shot into
the international limelight.
'Rumania had just entered the
war on the side of the Allies and
was in the midst of her first cam
paign when the Mercurial Prince
abandoned his regiment and elop-
ed with the girl of his dreams
Jeanne Lambrino, "Zizi" to mil
lions of newspaper readers.
They honeymooned in Odessa, but
the common law union was not re-
cognized in his own country. A son,
Mircea, was born.
A few years later King Ferdi-
nand and Queen Harie sighed with
relief when Son Carol fell in love
with Princess Helen of Greece. His
first union was annulled and a
royal wedding with Helen follow
ed. In the same year, 1921, Mihai
was born-prospective heir to the
throne. Rumania rejoiced. Carol
had settled down.
But it was only for a while. Then
entered the gorgeous Magda Lupes-
Gu, commoner daughter of a trades
man.
Carol was determined to have
his way again. He defied his fami-
ly. renowned his rights to the
throne early in 1926, and went into
luxurious exile with Magda.
Two years later, King Ferdi-
nand died. Carol remained in exile,
a carefree ex-crown-prince, living
sumptuously with his lady love in
a Paris where spring seemed per-
petual.
At home, little Mihai perched
upon the throne.
The boy-king, vas publicized
abundantly; drew obs and abs
from all of the earth.
Then suddenly, in 1880, Carol
came home out of a clear sky, in
an airplane from Munich.
Quickly a bloodless bitzkrieg was
won. The man from Munich sent
his son back to the nursery and
took the throne himself.
His mother, the Dowager Queen
Marie, SO long a strong figure in
the Balkans, eased quietly out of
the picture.
It was even reported that Carol
had definitely shelved the glamo-
GUS Lupescu; retired her with a
handsome financial settlement.

the fact that he's broke-not only
broke but deeply and desperately
in debt. But the great actor isn't
worried. While that part OF
the picture was being filmed, the
newspapers were carrying a story

King Carols In Trouble Again
But It's No Romance This Time

Wild reports that he would try
to make her his queen were not
confirmed by events. Her political
influence was regarded as power
full for a time, but she dropped
more and more out of the lime
light.
It was widely agreed that Carol
had indeed settled down this time
to the serious job of being a king.
It was too late. Adolf Hitler's
accession to power in Germany
gave mighty impetus to the anti
Semitic Rumanian Iron Guard,
which heretofore had been only an

Carols strong man premier, Ar
mand Calinescu, last September Fl.
With a war already declared in the
west, and Poland collapsing under
German blows, Carol redoubled his
efforts against the Iron Guard.
Soon he seemed to have suppressed
the movement, with the shooting
of hundreds of Iron Guardists and
the imprisonment of thousands.
But when France fell, Carol took
iron guardists into his cabinet. And
