ITALY, JAPAN
 THREATS OF WAR
toontlnued from Page D


 Complete control of the Island oi Malta where the British Mediter- ranean base Is located, was demand cd In the press. The 0ibraiter sit- uation was uncertain but I was aS- sured that Italy intends to ask for Spanish control of the British fort as long as Spein continues he, present pro-axis policy. ltaly's new thesis appeared to be that her aspirations could no longer be regarded &s the same as those before the var but must now bc considered in the light that Italy IS morally engaged in the war alongside Germany.
 According to information gath cred in Fascist party circles and in quarters which are aware of the new developments in Italian foreign policy, Italy has stepped up her de- mandS because the problems are no longer within evolution, but henceforth ire within the domain Of revolution"
 Italy was said to be willing to fight for these demands. And If Q peace settlement Is possible, she intends to sit ct tho conference table and insist on her demands as strongly aS f she were Q belliger. ent, It was said.
 Bait for Japanese
 Tokyo, May 23-tUP)--Sentlment favoring Japan's active participation in the European war on the side of 0ermany--With the Netherlands East Indies the Japanese reward for a totalitarian Victory--reacked in- creasing proportions today.
 Several influential leaders and c number of newspapers joined a movement calling for abandonment of tho Japanese policy of non-in- volvement, especially after Germany informed Japan that she is not in. tcrested In the East Indies prob. lem"
 When the RightlSt East Asia Con. struction National League, headed by Admiral Nobumasa SuetSugu, passed a resolution urging the gov- ernincnt to abandon It's neutral pol. icy, several newspapers were quick to take up the cause. Many of them urged the government to give Ser- ious consideration to suetsugu's resolution.
 The official Domei News Agency interpreted the German notificat ton regarding the East Indies aS giving Japan the power of attorney" and free hand" in the Islands. Tho agency added that Germany no doubt would uphold Japan in what ever action she took regarding the East Indies.
 Some neutral sources said, how- ever, that the German stand re- garding the East Indies might be intended 10 create tension between Japan and the United States, forc- ing the United States to keep its fleet Ia the Pacific.
 Toshio Shirator!, whose efforts to promote e military alliance between Germany, Japan and Italy once had been rejected, said today that "our place Is with totalitarians." Shiratori, considered c shrewd dip- lomat, presently Is awaiting assign. ment to c diplomatic post.
 Shiratori visited in Rome and Berlin last year. Recalling his visit today, he remarked that during his conversations with German Field Marshal Hermann Goering, the lat. ter had said, "the next war will be ended before America can send help"

rather the deficiency of .vitamins essential for the assimilation and retention of copper, that matters, and hat eventually we shall learn jus which vitanlin it may be. Off hand I'd surmise it might be the anti-gray hair factor or possibly nicotinic acid in the vitamin B complex.
 Fourth Way: More exposure to sunshine. Sunshine on naked skin produces vitamin D by ultraviolet ray action on sterol, fat-like sub- stance in the skin, converting it into vitamin D. Alternative for any one who can't have his place in the sun, an adequate daily ra- ton of vitamin D in pleasant form, to supplement the regular diet.

BAD TABLE MANNERS RUIN YOUR CHANGES

Check Rules Before Dining Out
 Dining for the first time with smart acquaintances-a chance for girl to make delightful friend- ships! But, alas, the chance is lost if her table manners offend. <
 A shock to well-bred people when she refuses dish with crude. Thanks, I'm SO stuffed, I simply couldn't" Mentioning the state of ones digestion just isn't done" at the table. To refuse a dish you merely say "No, thank you"
 And of course a girl who is care- full about table. manners won't clutch her goblet by the bowl or rest her elbows on the table while eating Or drinking. Nor will she pour salt for her celery on the table cloth.
 Correct way to hold a goblet by the stem, to keep elbows oil the table while eating. You pour salt for celery on the edge of your plate.
 What silver to use for each course, when to use the fingers? These questions and dozens more you'll find answered in our 32-page booklet. Gives rules for restaurant and club dining, buffet supperS, teas and formal dinners. Tells how to eat unusual foods, what to do as well-bred dinner guest, a gra- cious hostess.

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE

SILVER THREADS AMONG THE
 GOLD
 A good name for it, if I ever put it all in one bottle, will be or Doc Brady's Three Way Restorer. No on second thought we had better make it Four Ways-four ways to prevent hair from turning prema- turely gray or, by juggling the words around a bit and slipping in 8 couple of helps" we can even make a portion of the public be- lieve we say the treatment will restore the original color to the hair even after 1t has turned as gray as can be without being white.
 First Way: Take a suitable Iodin Ration. For instructions about this send a stamped envelope bear ing your address.
 Second Way: Be sure to get an optimal ration of vitamin B corn- plex, not just vitamin B1 the syn- thetic thiamin, but all of the en- titles or factors that naturally grow in the B-comple, including, of course, the one thus far identi- fled only as the anti-gray hair fac- tor. Mind, now, I don't know whether B complex really prevents premature graying of hair in man; but the nutrition physiologists have found that if experimental rats do not get enough of the antigray haid factor they become gray be- fore their time. All I can tell you is that plenty of B complex to sup- plement your regular diet will very likely give you better health, more vite, whether 1t has any effect on gray or graying hair or not.
 Third Way: A Japanese investi- gator (U. Sarata) has found that black skin and hair contains more copper than brown, and brown skin and hair contains more than white. Animals on diet poor in copper show a progressive de- crease in the pigment in their skin and fur, and addition of copper brings about restoration of the nor- nal color to the skin and hair. From these and other observations it would seem that copper is essen- tial for the formation of pigment in the skin and hair of mammals. You are a mammal, not to say rat. Of course it takes only wee, wee bit of copper. probably the hun- dredth part of a grain a day, to keep your hair from turning gray. and SO many foods contain copper that it would seem strange that anybody's hair turns gray as long as he still has teeth that function well-his own or his dentor's. ] suspect that it is not so much the dearth of copper in our food but

Children Often ''Take It. Where Adults Would Sulk

like MT. Davis, who used to let him hold the tools, Hickey decides.
 He goes up to the kitchen where Annie is lifting kettle off the stove. Clear out" she says. T nearly dropped this on you"
 So he clears" and sits on the steps and kicks at little Jumps of ice. He sees Jim and yells, Hi ya," and Jim says, Hello brat" He is an old boy, and Rickey is proud.
 Childhod Is such a happy time, say the sentimentalists. But now the experts say not. I can't decide for this reason: Hickey should have been hurt and unhappy, but instead, he went into the house, got some crayons and colored an Indian. What older person would do that? Maybe children get used to snubs. At any rate, they are better scouts than we are, bless them, to stand the rebuffs we would never forget.

Of Interest to Women

o. What causes the hissing sound when vacuum sealed can of food is opened?
 A. With one exception, the hiss ing sound is caused by air rushing into the can. The exception is with packed coffee. Sometimes the coffee generates gases after it has been packed and sealed, and wehn the can is opened the missing sound is caused by these gases eS- caping.
 Q. How can I best remove a large spot of glue from table cloth?
 A. If the material is washable, soak the spot in warm water. Oc- casionally it is necessary to boil the stained material. Or, sponge the spot with dilute acetic acid, using ab- sorbents such as clean blotters or pad of soft cloth. White vinegar may be used instead of the acid but is not always satisfactory.

 Mothers who wish that their very young daughters would wdar a lit- tie less; makeup and less sophisti-. cated clothes, might very well hold Betty Field up as a shining example of how charming youthful clothes and fresh-faced look really can be.
 Although well-established- stage star, Miss Field doesn't try to look. act or dress older or more sophisti- cated than she is. Nor does she try to hide her natural Shyness with clustering wisecracks or constant repetition of the latest slang phrase She undoubtedly realizes that ma ture poise will come with the years. At the moment. she's satisfied to be entirely natural, completely poised or not.
 DANGER OF
 BEING STYLIZED
 The little star of 'aTwo on an Is- land' has a, complexion that radi-- ates cleanliness, light brown hair which appears to have been brushed and brushed regularly for years, gray eyes with the sparkle that ade- quate rest and sleep put there.
 T realize that it's important for every girl to decide what type she is, then dress to suit that type" says Miss Field. "But do think that she can easily over-do this idea.
 By buying always the same type of suit, wearing her hair a certain way ard almost never changing her makeup, I think she is in danger of becoming stylized. Every woman ought to appreciate the value of the surprise ele- ment. Wouldn't it be good idea. for every so-called tailored woman tO have one essentially feminine.
