GaWky Success

Fonda's role is not unlike the
one he first scored such success
with in The Farmer Takes a
Wife" He does great job OF
being the difficult, silent lad seek
ing adventure along the sawdust
trail. Jane Darwell's fat lady is a
good and vulgar Characterization
and Roscoe Ates is typical clown,
Lamour and Darnell are dark and
lovely TO observe, though both are
weak in the acting department.
The best scenes are those in
which Linda learns TO ride circus
horse, the fight episode and the
sexy sequence between Lamour
and Fonda.
It's colorful entertainment and
deals with an idea out of the ordi-
nary run Of pictures.

u. s. Birth Rate
Equals German S

WASHINGTON, June IT up
An increase in the American birth
rate to a point approaching the high
rate in Germany, was reported to-
day by the census bureau.
There were 10000 more babies
born in the United States during
the first four month of 1941 than
in the corresponding period last
year, the census bureau said. This
indicates a national birth rate for
1941 of about 1875 per 1000 of popu-
lat!on-the highest since 1880.
The last reported birth rate for
Germany was 1873 per 1000 popu-
lation in 1887.
Dr. Halbert L. Dunn, chief Statis-
tician for vital statistics, said cur
rent indices indicated that the ma
tons population is now being re-
produced at a greater rate than
in the last decade and that there
will be an increase of about 7 pei
cent in population per generation

LEWES. Del, Feb. 10.-Forty-
seven seamen were rescued and
another was missing and believed
lost today when the 5,S00-ton
British freighter Ramon de Lar
rinaga. loaded with a war cargo
for Britain. capsized two miles Off
shore in Delaware breakwater.
The heavily-laden vessel was
beached last night after being
towed to the comparatively safety
of the lower Delaware Bay by
coast guard cutters which went to
her assistance after an S o S ap-
peal Friday night.
Her main deck was awash and
she was listing at a perilous 30
degree angle when she was run
aground in 18 feet of water in
the harbor of refuge" of Lewes.
Through the night, the freighter
withstood the buffeting of the seas
until she was capsized by the ris-
ing tide shortly before dawn. As
the vessel rolled over her crew
scurried over the side.
Part OF the vessel remained pro-
truding out of the water and the
men huddled close together until
rescued by coast guardsmen.
