newspaperman, was saying that
he rarely takes notes on assign
ments.
"A city editor" he explained.
"once told me: If the guy says
anything worth printing, you
will remember it,"
DOUGLAS GILBERT reminds
~ us OF one of playwright
George s. kaufman's best gags.
II was during a rehearsal Of
the Marx Brothers Cocoanuts'
and they were arguing about a
subtle situation in the show.
To justify his stand, Groucho
said:
"Weii, they laughed at Fulton
and his steamboat"
"Not," cracked Kaufman, cat
ma tinees."
Just before Roosevelt and
Churchill met al sea for the first
Atlantic Charter rendezvous,
Admiral James L. Kaufman
(whose beat then was Iceland)
rehearsed II.
The admiral was In command
OF the Augusta and he brought
another ship alongside--to rep
resent the cruiser that would
bring Churchill.
The rehearsals were made In
heavy seas for two days, but on
the third day. when the Prince
of Wales arrived, the sea was
CAIN.
AS the British cruiser neared
the American ship a chief bos'n
tossed line directly At a
cigsr-smoking civilian. shouting:
Hey, buddy, give ne . hand,
will ya!"
And Churchill obliged!

point of morale was trenen.

I new thing In our military
scheme to give the fighting men
diversion OF this nature. Now
il Is deemed almost as important
as ammunition.
HUNDREDS of renowned and
Ii high-salaried figures of the
stage and screen and OF radio
and band land and other fields
of public entertainment are now
wearing the uniforms of the
army or the navy, many Of them
in combat service, many Of them
leaders of men, others mere psi
Yates.
Proportionately 10 its num-
bers, no other profession is more
largely represented in the ranks,
and certainly no other profess
sion is contributing as much not
only In actual service but in
money and talent to the war
effort.
It is odd that the first ade-
quate recognition of the theatre
cal profession should come from
the essentially nntheatrical Her
bert Hoover, whose contacts with
actors are perhaps fewer than
any other public man. but there
it is in a few words of truth:

Better Health

ORIGINALLY the vita m ms
" were used in medical treat
ment as a part of diet.
II was found that some per-
sons were eating largely proc
essed foods, such as candy and
crackers and canned goods, from
which in the course OF manu-
facture the vitamins had been
removed.
Consequently these patients
showed symptoms of ne9fitis or
scruffy skin or sore tongue or
dropsy. and the natural form OF
treatment was 10 give oranges
and yeast and oatmeal and fresh
meat and tomatoes so that gen.
eral health would be improved.
1t was replacement therapy.
1t is still used
THEN the question arose
l. whether a given individual
was getting, not vitamins, but
enough vitamins.
He had minor symptoms OF
vitamin deficiency, either be-
cause he had indigestion or diar-
rhea, and wasn't absorbing his
due quantity of pitanfirs even If
they were in the food.
Then began the era OF concen-
trated vitamins in pill form.
You could get one single vita
min or you could get the whole
catalogue just TO make sure.
And that is still going on.
In fact. there are more vita
MINIS sold in the United States
today than there are cathartics.
WHAT 7 am talking about is
w an entirely new develop
ment.
II is the idea that vitamins
may act not alone like foods,
but like drugs.
They may exert actions on
special tissue that will cause
the tissue TO change in a GER
tain process-sav degeneration
and reverse the process and
regenerate.
The most famous example
and the best for illustration vas
the nervous disease named
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
1t is the disease Lou GehTig
had.
Now no one In the highest
fight of imagination ever sup
posed he didn't get the right
kind Of food.
II he didn't why didn't all
the other members at the train
Ing table get the same disease?

What War Bonds Buy

Uncle SANS lighter 37-milli-
meter anti-tank guns are dubbed
tank killers They arc at
tached TO the infantry. not the
field artillery. and cost approx
mately $500 each. They have
proved particularly effective in
anti-tank warfare.
They are mobile, mounted on
automobile tires and can be
rapidly whiSked from place to

bonds will help pay the cost OF
these field pieces so necessary
for our army in this war. Join

Uses

THEY all ate the most scien-
tific diet possible to devise.
So II occurred to Doctor
Wechsler of New York. since
part of vitamin E-tocopherol---
has powerful action on nerve
tissue, it might work In this
otherwise incurable disease
1t did not work in Lou Geh-
rigs case, as we know.
But the general principle OF
treatment might still have some
virtue.
Vitamin D, as we know, has
powerful action on bones.
So il is natural that IL should
be used in arthritis.
THE main action of vitamia D
i is to increase the utiliza-
ton of calcium and phosphorus.
One form of arthritis is no
table for the lack OF calcium
and phosphorus in the bones.
Hence the logic OF its use, at
least theoretically.
Farley reports good practical
results.
In senile patients, also. who
have poor digestion and absorb
ability, concentrated vitamin ex-
tracts have been used with some
success.
They did not, naturally, stop
the process of the senile changes,
but it was possible TO improve
some senile changes that APP
peared prematurely and TO halt
the progress of mental, heart
and muscular deterioration.
In the nervous changes that
occur in anemia, vitamin b has
been used on account of its spe-
cial action on nervous tissue.
QUESTIONS, ANSWERS
V. X: I should like to ask
some questions about multiple
sclerosis:
From what does this disease
originate? Is is contagious or
hereditary? Is there a cure?
How long does II usually linger?
Answer: Multiple sclerosis Is
not contagious and probably not
hereditary.
It is a condition OF the GEN.
trail nervous system in which
plaques of scar tissue form.
It is likely 10 have periods OF
improvement which may last for
some time.
/ have known of certain cases
which went on for over 30 years
without very much permanent
injury.
Treatment has little effect
on the progress Of the disease.

Makes Further Comparison.
Mr.. LuSk also drew = comparison
between Naylor Gardens, 4 74S-unit
apartment development recently
completed by Defense Homes Corp,
and Greenway, 796-unft property
built by private enterprise" The
overall cost of Naylor Gardens was
50, 9,164 for each apartment, while
for Greenway 1t was only $2,778 q
unit. he maintained.
This comparison, Mr.. Lusk ad-
mitted, us not intended to be exact"
Room sizes may differ, the total
number of rooms may not be AK
actly the same, and there are un-
doubtedly differences in specifica-
tions," he said. But the comparison
need not be exact to show conclu-
sively how much more Government
housing is costing than that pri-
vately built"
He also conceded that Greenvay
was built two years ago. when
building costs were somewhat less
than during the construction of
Naylor Gardens" but contended that
this factor cannot account for the
vast difference in total costs between
the two operations"
