Hollywood Sights And Sounds
BY Robin Coons.

HOLLYWOOD. May 14.-Today's s
smart boy: Joe Penner, asking
for no higher than third billing
on THE Boys From Syracuse, -
in which he ranks under Allan
Jones (top) and Martha Raye.
Joe, minus barnyard accompani-
ments including ducks and black
sheep, looks very, very cute in a
toga, but not so cute as Allan
Jones. Penner figures he's not
the one to F'carry" the picture
or even lead with his chin on his
first venture out of the BIS.
Rodgers and Hart have written a
new song, hit-bound. for the pict-
ure. Listen for Who Are You?"
AS correspondent in compara-
lively peaceful HOLLYWOOD, I've al
ways wondered how it would feel
to be in the middle Of a revolution.
Carmen Morales, who was, tells
me it feels like nothing at all.

Mexico, educated in the US. mid

She was dancing around Europe
and happened to be in Barcelona,
shopping, one day when great
quiet broke out. 1t was like siesta
hour, the merchants having drawn
down their iron blinds and retreat

hailed her, invited her in, warning,
There's going to be demons

Protesting, she followed him.
Then there was pandemonium out

crashing. In half an hour all was
still. The shops opened, the people
came out-and saw the wreckag ge
of a street brawl. Miss Morales

he had relatives in Germany ano
also because he thought not toe

sinisterly offensive as to inspire
an audience desire to punch his

by British propaganda to seek to get
this nation into the war.
Many of those who write the news
papers to express their vehement
objection to this nations involve
ment in the European war would
have more influence if they did not,
with almost single accord, indulge
in praise and defense of Hitler and
all his works, and denunciation of
England and France.
These writer's ought to know that
the course they are following-in al.
most uniformly linking their opposi-
ton to American participation in
the war with defense and praise of
Hitler and the Nazi regime and con.
demnation of England and every.
thing British-is leading manv Of
their readers to suspect that their
principal objection to American par.
tlclpatlon in the war may be the
recognized fact that such participa
ton could be only on the side of the
Allies against Germany.

THEY NEED YOUR HELP

The Better Business Association is to con.
duct a membership campaign. Business men
of Wilmington will do themselves credit and
improve their possibilities for advancement by
joining this energetic, progressive, wideawake
organization, which still, in it's infancy, has
proved its power for progress.
The association has gone about it's work
in thoroughly competent, intelligent way. 1t
first proposed to look into the city situation
and determine what should be done for it's
betterment. Like skilled navigator, it first
plotted its course before venturing upon it's
voyage. This done, it adopted a program Of
activities which, it was convinced, would bring
the greatest rewards to the city-to it's mem
bers only in SO far as the citys well being was
improved. Among the projects it adopted for
promotion were many already recognized by
the progressive citizenship as essential to Will.
mington's development.
Now, it asks your cooperation, Mr.. Business
Man, that its accomplishment may parellel its
planning. 1t is up to you, gentlemen in bust
ness to determine whether it's goals shall be
4 reached, or whether its efforts shall be doom.
s ed to "lnnocuous desuetude." It deserves to
i succeed in all of its undertakings, but it's sue
s+cess largely rests with you
Il The question is: Do you want it to succeed
: and by succeeding place you in a position to
4 share in the citys advancement, or do you
want it to fail, and in it's failure participate in
Wilmington's economic deterioration? With
Europe in turmoil, Americas opportunity fol-
I; economic advancement is greater than since
the last World war. Do you want your city tt
have prominent part in the business improve
81 ment resulting from that condition, or are
: you willing to let the benefits go elsewhere?
If you want bigger and better Wilmington
sign on the dotted line when the Better Busi
ness Association calls on you during the forth
coming membership campaign.

HOW to EAT to BEAT the HEAT

carries (decayed teeth. Science
has, however, shown the impor
tance of diet in forming norma
teeth and in keeping them. Teeth,
like any other structure, stand uI
better when we'll fortified.
Long, exhaustive research gives
us a pretty clear picture of tooth
structure and tooth needs. Teeth
are made up largely of minerals,
calcium, and phosphorus. They are
nourished by the same supply Of
blood nourishing all other parts Of
the body.
To build these teeth we must
have generous amounts of Vita.
minis D and C. In terms of com.
mon foods that means milk, head.
ing the list, fruits and vegetables,
especially tomatoes and citrus
fruits, next. The Vitamin D is not
supplied very generously in food
except Vitamin D milks, and sc
it must be secured either in g
concentrate such as fish liver oil
or else by exposing the body to
the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
To assure good teeth for chill.

must learn the necessity of an

hood, since the "haby teeth are
formed before birth. Permanent
teeth are formed very early in life.
You can have your teeth fixed any
time you want after that, but you
can never restore what your teeth
lost in the beginning.
Which brings us to the question
of how and when to begin dental

Man About
Manhattan
BY George Tucker

NEW YORK, May A.-Lunched
with Charles Gorham today, and
he told of an interesting expert
ment his publishing house. Double
day. Doran, already has under
way. They are bringing out bio
graphies of all the important ports
in the United States-intimate, re-
vealing studies of such places as
Glouceter, Baltimore, Seattle,
New Orleans, San Diego and
others which have romantic histor-
les and which have played historic
roles in the growth and develop
ment of this country.
Gloucester is being written by
James B. Connolly, an authority
On Gloucester history, and San
Diego is being handled by Max
Miller, who wrote II Cover the
Waterfront and ':He Went Away
For Awhile The story of Bal
timore's port will be told by
Hamilton Owens, editor of the Bal
timore Sun. Archie Binns, author
of 'Lightship'' and 1.-THE Laurels
Are Cut Down. will handle Seat
tie.
For New Orleans no author has
been assigned. The editors wanted
Lyle Saxon c"Fabulous New Or
leans"), or Roark Bradford, fam
ed for his Negro stories, but they
had other commitments and had
to decline. 1t seems to me this is
an assignment any author would
leap at. The port of New Orleans
is unlike that of any other port
in the world. It has flourished
under five lags. It stretches back
through centuries. 1t is a port of
oil and bananas, of cotton and
shrimp, and trappers and black
robed priests. Let's hope that the
man who writes it puts his heart
into it.
Still another note from the pub
fishing world-though from the
fictional side-concerns that mod
ern historian of the Revolutional
scene, Kenneth Roberts. Dis
tinguished for his novels of those
early Americans who fought with,
and later against, Benedict Arnold,
he now is turning his hand to a
novel of the Revolution from
Tory point of view. This is some
thing that never has been attempt
ed by an American author.
While we are discussing authors,
let's go back moment to Robert
E. Sherwood, the lanky, thin-faced
playwright, whose newest drama.
There Shall Be No Night" has
caused such a disturbance among
political and news commentators,
as well as students of the drama.
MIR. Sherwood thinks too little of
an ennghtened nature is being said
about Europe in this country, and
he bitterly alludes to Congress as
"a body of Chamberlains.
The suppression of intellectual
discussion, in his opinion, is sort
OF conspiracy of silence" that
leaves the public dangerously
blind-folded. He thinks people
ought to speak out, clearly and
forcefully, on all issues. "Con-
gress," says he. ''is always main
tanning the fiction that we are
hopelessly dumb in foreign affairs,
and the slick European politicians
are too much for us. The contrary
is true. Hughes, Stimson, and Hull
were wonderful string of Secret
aries of State; our foreign policy
has been the most intelligent of
any great nation on earth.''

developed sufficiently as yet to per-
init the staff here to plot its course
with certainty, the Italians were
known to be employing airplanes in
the direction Of Berbera, despite
difficult flying terrain, and there
was little indications that airplanes
were being used to any degree
against other areas.
This was taken to mean that the
airplanes, cooperating with the
army, were preparing the way for
the ground forces in an advance on
Berbera.
A sudden rise in the waters of
the upper Nile, and indications that
the rise continued, caused anxiety to
authorities here. The level was nine
feet higher than at this time last
year and a continued rise would
mean food that might become
dangerous. Authorities decided to
reinforce the river banks to meet the
threat.
A United Press dispatch from
Haifa, Palestine, said that italian
bombing planes had raided the city
again and had killed one person
and wounded eight but had caused
only slight material damage.
Plan Of British
London, Aug. 8.-(UP)-Military
sources indicated today that British
forces might make a stand against
the Italian offensive in Somanland
along a range of hills south of the
important port Of Berbera, on the
Gulf Of Alden.
The Italian offensive, already
having resulted in occupation OF
zeila port, permitted the italians to
proceed along a coastal road in their
drive on Berbera, but that path Is
difficult.
Another italian column was re-
ported crossing the desert from
Ethiopia to aid in the attack on the
big port, while third column mag
be marching toward Bulhar, which
Is coastal town between leila
and Berbera.
Military sources said that it was
not certain what progress, If any,
the Italians had made along the
coastal road from leila to Bulhar
and Berbera, distance Of about
$50 miles. It was emphasized that
forces advancing along that road
would be vulnerable to attack by
British naval forces In the gulf.
Military sources suggested that
the Italians were establishing long
lines of communication and that
this might make British counter-at-
tack possible or might result in
severe punishment Of the Fascist
forces.

HARVARD PROF.
HITS LINDBERCH

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 8-(UP)-
Prof. william Yandell Elliott OF
Harvard publicly accuses Col. Char
les A. Lindbergh of playing "a
towards part" when he pleaded for
appeasement and cooperation with
Germany.
In an open letter, Elliott said last
night that the flyers recent public
utterances have led the world to
conclude that he viewed q German
victory over Great Britain with
equanimity, II not with relish"
He told Lindbergh that such an
appeasement policy eventually would
make 1t necessary for the United
States to send expenditionary forces
to South America to prevent Naz
seizure Of Latin American govern
ments.
He supported Gen. John j. Per.
shing's appeal to send SO American
destroyers to aid Britain and said
that sending them now is the besS
insurance we can give against hav-
ing to send our boys later to 5ascue

and supplying advance troops with
food dropped by parachute.
The high command communique

But Hopkins was invited. As

movement for Mr.. Roosevelt and was
the contact man who conveyed to
the convention leaders the presi-
dents decision that Wallace was to

D., w. Va, and Sherman Minton,
D., Ind, shunted attention from the
pending measure to the controversial
CONSUMPTION issue.
Campaign Against Bill
Opponents of the Burke-Wads-
worth bill appeared to be mapping
an organized campaign against the
draft bill which, as now written,
would require registration of over
100000 men between the ages of
81 and 81 for army duty.
A dozen senators opposing the
peacetime draft measure met late
yesterday in the Office of Senator
George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., to plan
strategy for the coming debate
Among them were Senators Edwin C.
johnson, D., Colo; Robert M. La
Toilette, p, Wis; Gerald P. Nye, R.,
N. D., and Burton K. Wheeler, D.,
Mont.
The CONSUMPTION bloc, accord
. ing to one member, laid the ground
work for debate on the New Deals
foreign policy which will show exact
ly what is being done to put this
nation into war"
Several of the conferees insisted
that the group merely sought to as
certain how many speakers they
could muster, what phases of the
bill they would attack, and general
problems of strategy.
Barley scoffed at claims of anti
CONSUMPTION senators that they could
rally enough strength to defeat the
Burke Wadsworth bill, and predicted
not more than "a negative votes.
Senator Edward r. Burke D., Neb.,
co-author of the bill, shared Bark
ley's view but forecast an opposition
vote Of only 20.
The Senate, working under the
debate limitation granted late Tues
day restricting each senator to 20
minutes on the bill itself and 20 min
utes on each amendment, still had a
major obstacle to hurdle before it
votes on the guard mobilization.
