DryneSS is even more fatal to a
library than heat, and a combination
of the two spells ruin. Dampness is
also cruel to good books and causes
the page mottling called "foxing." "
Where dampness is really excessive,
as in some of the coastal cities, and
most especially in Washington, books
may even sprout yeasty mold if
proper drying heat is not main
tanned.
Design Proper
Bookcase.
One excellent way to avoid some
of these troubles is to design book
cases with cupboard or drawer space
for pamphlets, about 18 inches to 2
feet off the floor in order to avoid
dust and damp during the summer
months. Above that carry shelves to
feet, with adjustable sections for
large folios Either leave an air space
at the back of each shelf or have
holes drilled in the shelves close to
the back so that it is possible for air
to circulate. In damp weather. watch
your books to see that mold is not
forming, loosen them and polish
with silk cloth every week and give
regular dry heat treatments two or
three times summer by turning an
electric heater and electric fan on
them at the same time.
All of this sounds silly, and you
may laughingly expect to hear some
thing about vitamins and cod liver
oil after the heat treatments. AS
q matter of fact. books may do with
out vitamins, but good leather bind
ing must have dosing with oil
or perish. Leather properly tended
is almost imperishable, and will
endure unto the fourth or fifth gen.
Grafton with added beauty and
luster; leather left carelessly alone
will endure no longer than blotting
paper, and, in fact. looks very much
like it after the first year or two

French Toast Treat

French toast goes fancy when
made like this: Spread pineapple
apricot marmalade on four slices of
hot French toast. Stack and serve
at once, cut in wedges or squares.
French toast is fine idea for using

Greeks Capture
Key Coastal City

named it for their countess, the
wife of Italian Foreign Minister
Count Galeazzo Ciano.
The Greeks took it from the
south, sweeping up the coast from
the Konispolis region as the Ital-
ians retreated ahead of them, burn
ing the supplies they could not
carry along. These fires were seen
for days on the island of Corfu, off
the Greek and Albanian coast.
A United Press correspondent at
the Porto Edda front, describing
the Greeks arrival at the outskirts
of the port, said the Italians had
made a last stand at a bridgehead
on the Butrino river marshes near
OfhtSuka, three miles below Porto
Edda. The italians believed the
sWampS were impossible and guard
ed their bridgehead lightly. Greek
EvzoneS set out at night, loaded
their light guns onto RATS, waded
beside them through waist deep
sluSh, and came upon the Italians
by surprise. The correspondent said
the Evzones assailed the Italians
with bayonets, drove them back
into Porto Edda, then charged on
to take a high place overlooking
the city, where they set up guns
and shelled it mercilessly.
Several fires were reported burn
ing the city before the Greeks en-
tered.

Fundamental Gospel Forum
God is Good

Happiness! Wonderful word and
marvellous state of being to be hap
py.
But a mans life consisteth not in
The abundance of things that he
posesseth. A happy life is life of
love, joy and peace. Such a life is
impossible without close walk
with God. Josephus, the great Jew
ish historian, said, The only source
OF happiness is the favor of God.
David said happy is that people
whose God is the Lord. Every ma
ton, every people, every individual
strives with all his powers, strives
Tor that one g--happiness.
Many hope to gain happiness
through the accumulation of riches.
The apostle James says: Woe unto
you rich men, weep and howl for
the miseries that shall come upon
you. Many seek for happiness in
worldly education, science and art.
social prestige or other worldly a.
talnments. But, Paul the apostle
says-not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble are called into this glorious
spiritual kingdom of God. Seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and His
righteousness and all things, in
Guiding real happiness, shall be
added unto you. Study Gods word,
believe it, obey it and you can be
truly happy.

Theater Searched
For Bomb Victims
After German Raid

A SOUTH COAST TOWN, Eng
land, Dec. 6. CUP)-Rescue squads
dug into the shattered remains of
a motion picture theater today for
SO persons who had been buried IL
hours after last nights brief but
severe bombing attack.
((Dispatches from Berlin identi-
| fled the town as Portsmouth, Eng
lands great shipping center and
headquarters of the British home
| fleet)
Between 200 and 300 persons were
watching a film. High explosive
bombs came crashing down, ripping
the ceiling into splinters. Many in
the audience managed to reach en-
ergency exits. They returned to
help fire wardens search for those
who hadn't. AS the search progress
ed it became apparent that many
had been killed outright or had died
of injuries.
The area in which the theater was
located was hit hardest. A large
apartment house, many business es-
Establishments and another theater
were severely damaged, Elsewhere,
two hospitals and many private
homes were struck.
A shower of incendiary bombs fell
on one hospital, nurses home and
other buildings in the vicinity. The
roof of the hospitals clinic, where
20 persons sought shelter, caved in.
Auxiliary fire fighting units quar-
tered near the hospital fought the
fires, assisted by the nurses who
formed bucket brigade, passing
buckets from the streets to the top
of the three story building.
The efforts of the nurses and
other members of the hospital staff
were unavailing because an auxiliary
pump broke down and the fire
burned out of control. There were
no casualties.
Incendiary bombs set fire to an
other hospital two blocks away, but
that fire was quickly brought under
control.
A hotel and many stores and
homes were damaged in one district
and windows were blown out over
a wide area. In one working class
street five cottages and a number
of stores were wrecked and at least
eight persons were buried in the
debris. 1t was feared that many
others were buried beneath the de-
bris of homes in other sections.

Notorious Crook
Dies PenniIess

LONDON, Dec. 6. CUP)-Eddie
Guerin, who gained notoriety as
an international crook and then
retired to obscurity was buried in
a pauper's grave today. He died
Tuesday, at 80, of a cerebral hem
orrhage.
The high point in Eddie Guerin' S
career was his escape in 1905 from
the dreaded French penal colony
of Devils Island. He had been there
three years, serving a 10-year term
for robbing an American express
office in Paris of $4,000.
A woman known as Chicago
May" was his accomplice in the
robbery and she presumably got
part of the loot when Eddie was
sent to Devils Island. BY pleading
illness and through bribery, he was
sent to the mainland of French
Guiana. From there he escaped to
Dutch Guiana.

bIifz.Raid Attack
On English Town

| LONDON, Dec. 6. CUP)-German
bombers attempted "blitz-raid" on
south coast town last night, but
bad weather and heavy anti aircraft
fire sent them home by midnight.
London had two air raid alarms,
but the attacks were of the "nuis-
ance" type and the city slept sound
ly through most of the night.
The raid on the south coast town,
at a point within a few minutes
flying distance from airdromes on
the French-Belgian channel coast,
lasted several hours, however, and
considerable area was left in
ruins.
Among buildings struck were a
hospital, nurses home and mo-
ton picture theater. An incendiary
bomb struck the nurses home, start
ing a huge fire which took hours
to bring under control.
Three streets felt the brunt of
the attack although bombs also were
dropped in several surrounding dis
tricts. Bombs also fell in south
east coast town and in sections of
east Anglia. A lone raider flew over
Southampton yesterday while King
George was inspecting damage from
the blitZ-raids there but it was
driven off by anti aircraft fire.
The two raids on London were
light. Four homes were demolished
by high explosive bombs in a dis
trict on the outskirts in the first
raid. Several persons were trapped
beneath debris.
A joint communique of the air
and home ministries said the raids
caused a few casualties, some of
which were fatal.

Merchant Cruiser
Battles Nazi Shin

LONDON, Dec. 6. (UP)-Britain' S
20,122-ton merchant cruiser Car
narvon Castle-apparently operat-
ing close to or within the American
safety zone-battled a fast German
sea raider disguised as merchant
ship in the south Atlantic ocean,
the admiralty said today, and chas-
ed the enemy northward "at high
speed"
The engagement repeatedly took
place yesterday, about TOO miles
northeast of Montevideo, Uruguay,
not far from the scene Of the battle
that destroyed the Nazi pocket
battleship Graf Spec. (The exact
position was not disclosed but it
was indicated as off the coast of
South Brazil, and would probably
fall within the zone set up by the
Pan-American conference as a safe
ty belt.)
