 New York, Aug! SO-(UP) scat- tered paragraphs containing scat tered thoughts:
 The firing starts in the national tennis singles at Forest Hills to- day, and here is the way the ex- perts size up the situation: Bobby Riggs, despite an indifferent sea- son so far, is the man to beat fin the mems competition. Frank Ko- vacs and Don McNeill, defending champion, are the ones likely to give him the most trouble. Kovacs and McNeill are in the top bracket and probably will collide in the Semi-final. Riggs should sail through the bottom bracket if he sticks to business. Among the women, hard hitting Pauline Betz is rated the best chance to. win and her com- petition probably will come from Sarah Palfrey Cooke.

 The postponement of the heavy weight championship fight until Sept. 29 isn't going to improve Lou Nova's chances against Joe Louis. Nova was also ready to fight when he came out of lthe Maine woods about a fortnight ago. and the biz danger now is that he will go stale before he gets into the ring.

Always Close

Wonder when Ben Hogan is go- Ing to get the breaks that you need to win one of the major golf tour naments? The little guy goes into almost every tournament the favor ite, but usually loses out some- where along the line. He fired a 69 in the opening round of the Hershey Open, equalling the back nine record of .32 and duplicated in the second round. On the basis of consistency-the pro who wins the most naoney-Hogarl is the stand out in the nation, but the big ones always have eluded him.
 Looks like these Chicago Bears are going to be the bullies of, the Professional Football league again this year. They took the All-Stais into camp at Chicago without 100 much trouble and Sid Luckman, key man in the '"T" formation, seems to be in the groove again this year. Incidentally, reports from Washington are that the Redskins are going to receive generous sup port from the fans despite the shellacking (73 to 0) they. took from the Bears. NJ

Two startling discoveries by physicians and consultants of the United States Indian service will probably be instrumental in saving the eyesight of hundreds of soldiers now in the Near East These discoveries were made in regard to the nature and cure of trachoma, dreaded eye disease, widely prevalent in Italy, the Balkans and throughout Asia Minor.
 About eight years ago the In. dian bureau, faced with the ap. palling task of curing half of the 10000 victims of trachoma il, the United States, instituted a cam paign of research and experimen. tation in the disease. Some means must be found, they held, to cure the 35,000 Indians who had the disease in one form or another, and who were blind, or near. blind. as result. Dr. Phillips Thygesson, of Columbia Univers. ity; the late Dr. F. 1. Proctor, and pr. Polk Richards. director in charge of trachoma activities for the Indian Bureau. conducted ex. periments to prove the disease was caused by a virus. Physicians had previously considered the dis. ease bacillus granulosis".
 Up to that time treatments ranged from surgery. which scared the tissue and left the eyes permanently damaged, to external applications of harsh md irritating drugs which some

The mass was read by the Rev. w. c LeVasseur in the presence of close friends of the couple.
 Baskets of pink gladioli ano white stock decorated the church for the ceremony and before the VOWS were repeated, Arcadelt's Ave Maria" was sung by Miss Merle Janice Schroeder. Miss Ruth McVay organist. played two se- lections and was accompanist fol Miss Schroeder.
 The charming bride selected ar afternoon frock of dusty pink crepe for her marriage. She wore navy accessories and her face veil was caught to her hair by an old fashioned nosegay of roses and lilies-o the valley. Her shoulder corsage was also of roses and lilies-of -the- valley.
 Miss Schroeder, her only atten- dant, wore dusty pink with acces- sories of navy. Her flowers were pink gladioli. Both she and Miss Mcvay wore tiny gold crosses, gift of the bride. ssg
 MT. Carl Hupp was best man for the groom.

times arrested the disease through the period of treatment, but didn't prevent recurrence.
 The second discovery came when Dr. Fred Loe, Indian service physician on the Rosebud Res ervation who had been treating trachoma in Indians for more than twenty years, began experi. menting with internal doses of sulfanilamide. He took two of his most hopeless Indian patients. who had been treated for three years without showing improve. ment, for his first trial of the drug. The eyes of the two began to clear up after five days with daily administration of sulfanila- mide. In a month they were dis charged from the hospital.
 In 1888 pr. Loe's preliminary report of the treatment of 200 trachomatous Indians with suI. fanilamide was printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association. He stated that the average sulfanilamide treatment required only about two weeks, and that the eyes began clearing up within 24 hours after the first dose. A careful check of his patients covering a six-months period revealed that in no case did the disease recur. Requests for pr. Loe's report came from physicians in almost every coun- try in the world.
 Of ancient origin, trachoma. favored by unusual exposure to wind, dust and sun, spreads rapid. ly where private washing facili- ties are scarce The disease has long been a problem to army

TWO BILLS ON
 LBI NOW Al CAPITOL SHOW
Women in War" and a Return Engagement of
 The Awful Truth

Vivid in conception, strong in execution and remarkable in the powerful reaction it leaves on its audiences, Republics Women Tn War" which opens at the Capitol Theatre tonight on a double blll' is said to be one of the outstand- ing pictures of the year.
 It brings the full horrors of war, both physical and psychological. to the American movie-going public in a remarkably penetrating man ner, and will be long remembered after lighter film fare has gone the way of it's kind.
 The film is studded with vivi1 performances, notably. those of El- sic Janis, Wendy Barrie and Patric Knowles. Miss Janis, known as the sweetheart of the A.E.F.' as a result of her war work, was most enthusiastic over her opportunity to return to the screen-after a 2O-year absence--in a picture which dealt tellingly with the dramaSlc aspects of the war in which she played such a dramatic part 70 years ago. Thus her enthusiasm made itself felt in one of the most powerful portrayals this reviewer has been privileged, recently, to sec.
 Wendy Barrie, lovely and vivid as ever, is at ease in her difficult role of the defiant Pamela. Patric Knowles is outstanding as Larry the young aviator in the Royal Air Force
 Also featured is a return engage ment of "The Awful Truth star ring Irene Dunne and Cary Grant

 Here Tonight

There will be two features at the 2Oth Century for the weekend be- ginning tonight, "1'he Last Alarm and "Stagecoach War"
 When dangerous incendiary sets fire to series of big build ings it provides plenty of excite ment which can be seen in "The Last Alarm"
 The plot revolves around Jim Hadley, retired fireman.

physicians, and the famed British ophthalmologist, A. F. McCallan, president of the International Organization Against Trachoma, believes that the devastating per. centage of blindness found in Palestine and Egypt is due in great measure to mass infection of trachoma among the natives. Such ancient seats of civilization as Palestine, Greece, Syria, Iran. Iraq, Egypt, Thailand and French Indo- China have probably known trachoma the longest time. Ira dition has brought its story down from pre-Biblical days.
 Many modern countries. includ. ing the United States, consider trachoma sufficent grounds for denying an immigrant entry. U. s. immigration authorities, in fact, rank trachoIna with tuberculosis Hence the discovery of sulfanila- mide treatment and cure is of vital importance to hundreds of thousands throughout the world.l and particularly valuable in such countries as have had troops re- turning from the infected areas in the Near East, where the dis ease is rife.
 pr. Loe and his fellow-ph sicians in the Indian service now look confidently to the near flu ture, when more than thirty thousand American Indians still infected in varying degree with the disease will be completely cured. They have found reaction to their sulfanilanide treatments so convincing that the eradica ton of the disease is held to be cniy a matter of time,

HOLLYWOOD, Cal. May 30 = Wally Beery's girl friend in the movies is Marjorie Main, who never was a glamour gal and never hoped to be enc.
 Whenever Miss Main and Beery are in a picture, Metro-ite eyes get sentimentally misty so you can see the reflection of dollar signs. That's because everybody is thinking about the grand days of Beery and Dress Ter in Min and Bill
 This is not to say here that Mar jorie Main is carbon copy of the late Miss Dressler. Marie, the be- loved ugly duckling, was one of the screens great personalities Marjorie is a personality and one of the towns best actresses.

 On the screen, when she want to, she gives her voice a lovel buzz-saw quality suitable for homespun Beery heroine. Offstag she talks plain Hoosier, raspingl but with a friendly garrulousnes and gestures.

She was born in Fairland, Ind, spent most of her childhood in Elkhart where her father was a minister. When she was 13 her father retired and moved to a farm.
 Gangling and shy, she nearly keeled over with alarm when her mother told her she would recite piece at eighth grade gradua- tion. A family friend coached ner in blood-and- thunder poem, "The Light from Der the Range" She clicked with it before her first audience, won a prize, and later a county contest.
 Her father banned the theater, but after she had studied dramat- ics at Franklin College, later at Hamilton, he permitted her to en- ter Chautauqua with Shakespear- can company. There she met the late Dr. Stanley LeFevre Krebs, who became her husband. He not only won her father over but gave her the name she uses today in- stead of her real one-Mary Tom lison. She made the new name well known in New York before retiring to travel with her husband. After his death in 1885 she returned to the stage in Dead End" and The Women The film version of Dead End" brought her to Hollywood. "The Women" Susan and God, ? Wyoming" with Beery), "Sheph- erd of the Hills" have given her notable movie roles since.
 She lives frugally in a little Hol- lywood apartment" saving for my old age.' Until recently she rode to work on bus. but now has bought her first car.
 When she signed a Metro con- tract, she specified mo drinking scenes" One such was taken out of "Barnacle Ell" at her tnslS- tence There's too much drinkin' in pictures" she said. Why, after seeing movie in which every body's drinkin' all the time, even I feel like going out on a bender."
