Showing Of Portraits
Of Lord Proprietors
Draws Interest Here

The exhibition of portraits of the
Lords Proprietors of the Carolinas,
hanging in the Wilmington Mu-
scum of Art through February 2,
has great appeal for students of
history, particularly for those who
are interested in this section of the
country, museum officials said
yesterday.
1t was during the rule of these
titled men that a nation was born,
and a haven of hope founded for
those prosecuted and oppressed.
The Lords Proprietors, living a
life of wealth and ease after the
Restoration, felt no kinship with
the colonists struggling in the wild
ernes of a new world, giving birth
tc a nation which would grant
justice and freedom to all.
The Museum officials wish to ex-
tend thanks to the staff of the
Wilmington Public Library for
their cooperation in making avail
able to the Museum valuable maps
and documents for research rela-
tive to the Lords Proprietors. 3

flying at the opening of an ~investi-
cation of the Nays shipbuilding

ceive this month was 334- about
double that of December.
In response to questions by Chair

While he was "of course not salts

PRISONERS OFFER
BRITISH PROBLEM
Must Care For 10000 Men
Captured During Campaign
In North Africa

CAIRO, Egypt, Jan. 7.-R-Head-
quarters of Gen. Sir. Archibald P.
Wavell grappled tonight with the
problem Of accommodating upwards
of 70, 900 prisoners taken by the Brit
ish thus far in their lightning CAM
paign against italian North Africa.
By sea and by rail, those captured
in the victory at Bardia are pour
ing into the Green Nile valley from
the desert at the rate of 2,OO0 to 81
600 daily - great herds of defeated
soldiers who will have to be fed,
clothed and housed until the wal
ends.
The British say they v expect
ed to capture SO many. What to DO
with them after the Sidi Barrani vic
tory last month, when about 4o,ooo
were seized, was an acute problem.
Since then, the army has had more
experience in handling prisoners, so
preparations for the assault on Bar
dia included wiring off large enclos-
ures on the deserts for captlves.
Even then the British staff was sur
prised at the great numbers taken.
In any event, it was impossible to
prepare huge stores of food n wa
ter for them, and the first job was
to get them out of the desert.
Most are being shipped to AleXan-
dria aboard any vessel available.
Others are sent by truck to the rail-
head in the western desert. Trains
go up the line laden with British
supplies in the morning; return Jam
med with prisoners at night.
Large camps in the Nile Delta
were prepared hurriedly for the men
captured in the first British drive,
but now are being emptied to make
room for new arrivals.
The chief camp has been estao-
lished in the Suez Canal zone.
(Reports from India last week told
of the arrival of several hundred
Italian prisoners from Egypt, a dis
position not mentioned in this CEN
sored dispatch.)

IN THE GREEK

SOMEWHERE IN THE GREEK
FIRST LINE ON THE ALBANIAN
COAST, Jan. 5.-(delayed)- Up -
From the half circles of r o C k
which hide Greek machine-gun
crews, l watched Italian infantry
platoons scale a canyon wall a
mile away.
They were dark little figures
etched with the sparse green
bushes against the gray limestone.
AS they climbed slowly, each man
choosing a different trail, h e y
must have known they were as
visible to Greek artillerymen as
flies crawling on a window pane.
Look what happens now" a
Greek gunner beside me said.
The Italians were no more than
20 yards from the crest of the can
yon when l heard a Greek shell
whine overhead.
1t exploded with a flash on the
line of the Italians march.
Two more shells shook the can
yon walls and when the smoke
arose the gunner beside me said:
Good hits. If there are a n y
Italians left alive, they'll finish the
climb on their bellies"
This occurred a quarter of an
hour ago and I am writing this in
the captains shelter under a ledge
80 yards from his advance ma
chine gun post and only $50 yards
from the Italian outposts.
At Jul back lies the picturesque
seaside village of Chimara, tn e
Greeks latest acquisition. No
other correspondents, foreign or
Greek, have come this far with
the army.
A comparatively long and diff
cult stretch of coast stands be-
tween the Greek lines and the Ital-
ian seaside base of Valona, but
the Greeks are determined to reach
that objective, as they lave been
determined on earlier detectives.

POISONOUS SNAKES

About 1000 persons are bitten by
snakes every summer. according to an esti-
mate BY DR.. Raymond Ditmars. curator of
reptiles Of the New York Geological Gar
dens. but 1t is believed that many cases are
not reported to health authorities. 1t is al
20 estimated that about 800 cases of snake
bite, or approximately Is per cent, result
fatally.
Poisonous snakes are found in all the
states Of the Union except Maine, New
Hampshire and Vermont, and these consist
of two principal families. One family is
known as the pit viper, and includes cop-
perheads, moccasins and several varieties
of rattIesnakes. The other Is the cobra
family. represented in this country by a
single species, the coral snake, found
chiefly in the South
Snakes take their greatest toll OF
human life In India, where the deadly cobra
aboundg, ard snake bite deaths are esti-
mated to reach as many as 10000 in a
year.
The largest snakes, such as the boas
aud phythons. are not poisonous, but crush
their prey to death 10 their coils. The
Malay reticuIated python, largest of all,
sometimes attain length Of 80 feet or
more
By farthe greater number of all snakes
are non-poisonous, and therefore harmless.
These include the welI-known black snakes,
garter snakes water snakes, milk snakes
and many others. %

ARMY NOT BUYING BLONDE HAIR

A wire news service recently sent out
a report that the Army was inviting AM
erican girls with blonde hair and sense
Of patriotism to shear their silky strands

inquiries about the purchase of blonde
human hair and, just as quickly, issued a

that the supply Of necessary hair had been
imported from Europe up to two months
