TURKEY FEARS ATTACK
FROM NAILS ON MAY l

New Delhi, India - Informa-
ton gathered in the wake of a
visiting Turkish press mission in
dictates that Turkey considers
Nal l her crucial hour, seeing an
outside possibility that Hitler
may attempt then to break
through into the Middle East and
drive behind the Russians in the
Caucasus.
The press mission, five leading
Turkish journalists brought to
India by the British on a good
will tour, spent several days in
New Delhi, and is returning to
Turkey early in February.
May l is considered the criti-
cal date because then the passes
through the barrier of the Tur-
kish and southern and eastern
mountains will be cleared Of
snow, and the ground sufficiently
dry for motorized operations.

Some Driving
Bans Explained
Usual Pleasures Are Out;
Business, Welfare And
War Work Included

Weekend travel by a person
working in another town would
not be pleasure driving if the
driving was of an occupational
nature, it was stated here this
week. ''This Of course would ap-
ply only if travel was between a
temporary lodging near place
of work and regular place Of res
idence for the purpose Of attend
ing to necessary business Or fam
lily affairs, or visiting his family
could be considered as occupa-
tional mileage" Ralph Campbell
clerk of the ration board, said.
Certain parties, such as doctors
or voluntary firemen may argue
that it is necessary that they have
their car with them at ali times
in order to meet emergency calls.
This argument does not entitle
them to use their cars in VIOLA
ton of the ban on pleasure drlV-
ing, OPA officials point out
Any work regularly performed
by person which contributes to
the war effort or to the public
welfare, is approved for driving.
Buying groceries on Sunday at
delicatessen would be permiss-
able if the party can prove that
such supplies were necessary.
Such parties should be warned
or advised to reduce their travel
for shopping purposes, however,
it was stated.
The opinion is that driving to
attend the usual meetings of the
! following would violate the pleas
ure ban: Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions,
Junior League, Masons, Elks,
Chamber of Commerce, P. T. A,
Boy Scouts, American Legion,
Civilians, Eastern Stars, it was
stated by Mr.. Campbell.
! The above organizations may
call meetings necessary. to the
public welfare or to the war eff
fort, such as or primary purpose
of organizing a blood donation
campaign, scrap collection cam
paign, War Bond drive, etc
There would be in such cases, nc
violations as such meetings could
be considered necessary to the
public welfare or to the war eff
fort, it was stated.
One may attend a movie before
driving back from work only il
no extra driving is involved.

Cause of Carotenemia

This seems TO be the case with
the appearance Of yellowish dis
celebration of the skin known as
carotenemia, which comes from
eating too much of augmented
vegetables containing carotene,
the precursor Of vitamin A. In
Germany after World War | it
was found frequently because of
the predominant vegetable diet
. used by the German people in those
years.
Nitamin deficiency, especially
vitamin A deficiency. results often
in a simple dryness of the skin.
This may go over into scruffiness
and finally the scaly skin known
as ichthyosis. 1t has been found
that many of these cases respond
TO vitamins A and B.
Still another set of skin condi-
tons apparently due to vitamin
deficiency are characterized by a
roughness of the skin due to plugs
that form in the mouths of the
sebaceous glands which normally
supply the skin with grease. Lack
Of vitamin B (yeast, wheat germsl
accounts for most Of these.

these changes consist of changes
in the color Of the skin. in an
increase in scrufhness of the skin

FORT GEORGE G. MEADE. Md,
April 28.-Representatives of as mo-
tor freight fleets operating in Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania
were working at Fort George G
Meade today. learning the Army S

truck maintenance.
They are fitting themselves to help
the Army evacuate civilians and

the area in case of a great emer-
gency.
The course-first to be estab-
lished on the East Coast-will last
for six days. 1t is sponsored jointly
by the Sd Service Command and the

and is taught by officers OF the
command.
Enrollees. who are paying their
own expenses as their contributions
to civilian defense. will return to
their own fleets after the course is
over and in turn instruct their
fellow-workers.
Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
commanding general of the Sd Serv-
Ice Command, told the class that
"indiscriminate use Of Ill kinds OF
private vehicles on the public roads
helped the Germans in their at
tacks in Belgium and France" and
said the overrunning of the roads
was real contributing factor in
the downfall Of the two nations.
