New Hotel Project

This proposal for great new hotel at
Wrightsville Beach is in keeping with the type
of present thinking both at the resort and in
Wilmington and emphasizes again the desire
Of southeastern North Carolina to make the
best of its rich opportunities in the postwar
world.
Money for the project is here. It would not
be necessary to 60 elsewhere for capital, pro-
vided only that the capitalists were willing to
risk little to make lot. There chould be no
serious difficulty in disposing Of stock for the
venture at home.
The project would dt In perfectly with an
other, still in the dream-stage but coveted-a
highway, or esplanade, along the coast to
Bald Head island. Each would help the other
and materially advance the development Of the
entire area as q favorite vacation spot the
year round.
When Florida was on the way up hotels
were among the first projects undertaken, and
as soon as financial sanity returned to the
state after the boom and tourists hocked to
its resorts they proved assets Of major mag
nitude to all communities.
If we in this vicinity are to grow in proper
ton with our opportunities, such hotel as is
now in contemplation for Wrightsville Beach
will be an important factor in that growth.

AMMAN

Where and what is AMMAN? The word has a
prominent place in the news just now because
OF strange type of leaderless warfare going
on within its borders. The probability is that
not one Of hundred persons, even among
those who have followed the course Of the
Pacific war closely, can answer this question
oh-hand.
The Encyclopedia Britannia devoted two
whole columns to 1t, AMMAN, It shows Is a
country in southeast Asia, the eastern coastal
belt Of Indo-China and before the war French
protectorate. The surprising thing about it is
the size Of its population lis, 1901, with 1854
Europeans exclusive Of the military. Since the
Japanese moved into 1ndo-China there is no
way Of determining what It's military popult-
ton has become.
Because the French were slow in sending
troops there after Japan's surrender, it ap-
pears that some Of the Annanite millions are
raising the dickens. capturing certain French
and English residents, and that Americans are
taking hand in suppressing the revolt
The Japanese commanding officer has been
oaned IN by the British commander and told
mat It his troops do not restore order their
return to Japan will be delayed. This ultima
tun apparently springs from belief that
japanese have inspired the trouble in an
undernanded way and are encouraging the
Annam'tes to commit new and greater out
RACES against the peace.
General de Gaulle, apparently, has been so
busy trying to hold onto the temporary presi-
dency OF France he has neglected to send an
occupying force to AMMAN, and so the situa.
ton really stems from him. It is not a cause
OF major trouble, and probably will soon be
disposed OF, but it marks up one more score

drop in on Kwajalein - if you

Mia and the second time when we
came scurrying back, expecting
our big C-54 to blow to bits in the
night sky. -.
About an hour out Of Kwajaleip
the plane sprung a gasoline leak
and the fluid was sprayed over
the cockpit and instrument panel,
filling the plane with explosive
fumes. Posting a guard to see that
no one struck a match, the pilots
wheeled around in the moonlight
and raced back to, Kwajalein. I
When they finally set her down

that Kwajalein in the Marshal Is

Hinlmler Suicide After Capture By Allies

British Second Army Headquar- ters, May 28-tP)-Second Army officials still are undecided whe- ther to hold a funeral of the Ges- tapo Chief Himmler in the pres ence of German military and civil ian big wigs who are in Allied hands. Thirty-six hours after the suicide death by poison of Him. mler, his body still lay on the bare floor in the Luneberg villa. It will be placed in coffin today.
 It is generally suspected that the former Nazi foreign minister Won Ribbentrop, the only high Nazi not yet captured or reported dead is somewhere in the British sector in northwest Germany.
 Himmler killed himself We'd nesday night by crushing a tiny glass vial of poison between him teeth as British medical officers were examining him. He was wearing only pair of socks, his clothing having been stripped from him previous to examination.

food and manufacturing materials.
 Productive in rice, tobacco and copper, Kyushu also is a rich source of iron and coal. Huge in- dustrial factories here have car ried much of the burden of equip ping Japan for war. The moun- tains of the islands, are many, some of them volcanic, providing hot spring spas. The waters sur rounding Kyushu teem with many types of fish and offer an impor- tant source of food.
 Like Honshu, Kyushu's coast opens to many prime harbors and bays. From the important seaport of Nagasaki, already the target of U. s. bombers, it is only 452 miles to Shanghai across the Sea of Japan. Other important cities are Kagoshima, on the East China Sea, Sasebo and Kumamoto.
 Adjacent to Kyushu are 213 smaller islands. On Kyushu are many capacious inlets with the possibility of excellent anchorage.

When you're . weekend guest you notice . lot of little things that make your visit . memorable and pleasant one. It's those little "ex- tra touches" that make you re- member your hostess as charming and gracious.
 Pm sure you'll find, as did, that for providing that "extra touch" perfumed sachets in the new tuck away packages are wonderful in their appealing fragrance. By the use of one of the lovely floral frag- rances, in the drawers of the dress ing table, among the linens and guest towels, the guest room will present a delightful perfume en- semble."
 Among your own personal things, too, tuck aways, delicately perfumed to suit your taste and personality, add a distinctive touch of femininity so essential to gra. cious living.
 My hostess showed me the color fully decorated little packets with gay flowers matching the fra grances of the sachet-rose, carna- tion, gardenia, and lilac. They're sU attractive that she used the tuck aways as place cards at the luncheon. choosing fragrances that blended perfectly with the center piece of flowers. It was such a lovely effect that the guests are still talking about it.
 When tuck aways are slipped in- to gifts, even an inexpensive one carries an expensive air. And imagine my very pleasant surprise when I discovered my hostess had tucked away several of these dain- ty sachets in my luggagel
 l am told they are available at drug, department and syndicate stores and gift shops. I know I am going to look for some at the first opportunity.

Upswing In Dairy Cattle
Breeding Associations

The number of cooperative dairy
cattle breeding associations in this
country was almost doubled during
the past year, according to Floyd
]. Arnold, dairy husbandry special
list of the University of Maryland
Extension Service. Although this
increase does not apply to Mary
land, where there are as yet no ar
tificial breeding associations, the
state legislature recently appropri-
ated $4,000 to start a program of
artificially breeding dairy cattle in
this state. The, work is expected to
get under way on statewide basis
this year, Arnold said. Meanwhile.
a number of local dairymen have
been carrying on the work indepen-

Arnold cited statistics from a re-
cent report of the u. S. Bureau of
Dairy Industry, showing that the
number of artificial breeding as
sociations throughout the country
increased from 95 organizations
providing breeding service for 49,
627 herds with 21S,OOO cows on Jan
uary /, 1914 to 1876 organizations
with over $4,000 member herds and
breeding about 100000 cows by
January 1, 1916. These figures re-
fer only to approved cooperatives

Bureau of Dairy Industry.
According to the bureau report.
there are 90 states with cooperative
