 Jonah camouflaged a feeling of uncertainty by bold remark. "l could tell you better if knew your name," he said

Remarkable indeed Is the device inve lted by Jonah Logan. He calls 1t "I'he Terrible Eye" Scenes of both the distant and immediate past can be re-created and tele- vised through use of this fantastic instrument. Jonah Logan tries successfully to reach melti-miI- lionaire camera king Henry l.. Charming at his office, so he de- cides to call informally at Chan ning's estate. As Logan and his assistant, Mahoney, climb over the wall to gain forbidden en- trance, they are discovered by a girl who immediately becomes The Girl in JOnah's life.

Making Good

Prentiss Brown whose defeat at the polls
brought his fitness for the post OF price ao'
minstrator into question among many sroups'
has already wrought such change IN 'ae
rationing and price administration II IS haio
to realize that he is operating under the same
general rules so violently enforced by MS
predecessor, Leon Henderson.
Mr.. Brown appears instinctively to Know
what Mr.. Henderson could not learn, that the
American people willingly submit to be led'
but are ballzy as mules when driven with
bull whip.
He has not yet had time to cure many OF
the sores Henderson created, but he is max
ing progress. He called off the shoppers, for
example, after they had stirred public ire
over the pleasure-driving ban, and put mo-
torists on their honor to use their vehicles
only on necessary business. Certainly that
was an improvement on the Henderson gesta-
20 set-up. He, or somebody, blundered, to
be sure, in announcing that the ban might
be discarded shortly, and so encouraged need
less driving at the cost of many gallons of
x
and not of the disposition, as were all of
Henderson's follies.
Now, accompanying announcement that
meat, butter, cheese, edible oils and canned
fish are scheduled for rationing, the blow is
softened Gf it be blow at al) by word
that more coffee will be available for the
new issue on March % and that pound will
have to last only five weeks instead of six,
and that the cost in ration points for dried
prunes, raisins, beans, peas and 1entils will
be lower Maybe this doesn't amount to much
in the broad aspects of rationing, but it is
better than anything Henderson did.
Because the selection of Mr.. Brown was
emnently wise, it could be hoped that Pres
dent Roosevelt may do as well by the people
in replacing other bureau and department
heads with men of greater human understand
ing than the incumbents.
In their own spheres Secretaries Ickes and
Perkins have made as great disturbance as
Henderson did in his Surely Mr.. Roosevelt
could find persons of greater understanding
to replace them. As no change could be for
the worse in either case, it would be worth
while to make a change.

A Produce Market

wholesale produce market such as con-
templated by the Greater Wilmington Cham
ber of Commerce. where the farm output of
large area could be brought at little cost
for sale to dealers, would have unquestionable
value both to the farmers and Wilmington's
retail food dealers. With the new and greater
population Of Wilmington and it's suburbs the
demand for farm products, particularly gar
den truck is so large that the areas entire
production probably could be absorbed, es-
pecially canned foods are rationed.
If the chamber is successful in its wholesale
market project, and it richly deserves to be-
it might be found advanta geous to establish
neighborhood curb markets, where farmers
could bring the products of their gardens for
sale directly to consumers. Curb markets
have been a boon to housewives in MANY
other communities. There is no good reason
to think they would be less helpful here
At this time gasoline rationing does not
permit many trips from farm to town. and
so the curb market project would have to be
delayed until happy days are here again. But
it is something to think about and plan for
when peace returns.

tuberculosis Examination

Forthcoming exray examination of school
children to determine if they show signs of
tuberculosis is among the best of all hunani-
tartan projects undertaken in this city.
Parents should welcome this opportunity to
have their children examined. 1t could well
be the means of correcting a condition which
if unknown and untreated would gradually de-
stroy the victims vitality and resistance, and
pave the way to the cemetery.
tuberculosis is insdious. Its, beginning is
not obvious. Not until it has made deep in
roads upon the health of a person is it likely
to be recognized. Once it has reached this
stage, it is difficult to arrest its progress
On the other hand, if the X-ray reveals its
presence prompt measures may be taken to
halt it and the child be saved from life of
lingering invaidism or death in adolescence
There is nothing to be gained by avoiding
the truth. Instead there is much to be lost
Children of school age are peculiarly suscep-
tible to tuberculosis, which annually costs
the lives of thousands Of persons The health
department and affiliated agencies which have
created this opportunity for examinations have
conferred blessing upon Wilmington parents.
