When the Psychological War fare Branch of SHAEF established the first Allied newspaper for German readers last winter, it was decided to use German per- sonnel wherever possible. Edi- torial control. however, was to be strictly Allied.
 A type-setter who seemed to have the respect of his fellow workers in the printshop of the existing Aachen newspaper was selected to serve as plant super intendent. He had come to the shop with a workers cap, overalls, and mixed well with the other printers.
 Next morning a man in a top hat, winged collar, frock coat and neatly pressed striped trous- CTS appeared in the front office and asked where his desk was to be. The Americans at first did not recognize him, finally realized that he was the work CT chosen the day before to be plant superintendent. After some hesitation, he was given small private office.
 About noon an American of- sicer passed by this new office of the superintendent and found the words 'fEintritt Verboten" (En- trance Forbidden) being lettered on the door.
 FRANCO GETS SUGAR
 No matter now many high U. $. officials may oppose dictator Franco of Spain inside the Gov- ernment, he always seems to come Up with a Staunch defender in the State Department. This was illustrated recently during off-the- record debates on the highly deli cate question of sugar.
 Though the American public has been getting more and more pinched for sugar, the State Department has always insisted that Spain be cut in for it's quota. The State Department has issued carefully-worded de- nials saying that the sugar does not come from the United States - which, of. course, is true. It comes from British colonies in the Caribbean area. But so also does most sugar con- stunned by the American public come from the Caribbean, and during the war it has been tightly controlled by the Com bined Food Board. Thus, what ever is sent to Spain, in the end, comes out of the sugar bowls of the American dinner table.
 The Combined Food Board al- locates sugar to all our Allies, and. several weeks ago UNRRA placed before it an estimate that Po- land, Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia, Greece and Albania, all of them victims of Nazi aggression, should get combined total of 10000 tons of sugar.
 The Combined Food Board thereupon agreed to let UNRRA have 10000 tons to meet this. This was considered a definite promise, and UNRRA then began searching to find an additional 100000 tons.
 ALLIES GET NO SUGAR
 Just a few days ago, however, something happened. The Com bined Food Board reversed it. self. It notified UNRRA that the promised 10000 tons of sugar would not be available for Po- land, Czechoslovakia, Greece, .Jugoslavia and Albania. In fact, none would be available.
 Instead, 60,000 tons of sugar has been allocated by the Com bined Food Board to Franco's Spain,

A GRUDGING WORD FOR
 CASTOR. OH.

A famous novelist says he mas suffered nearly all his life from freuuent headaches and he has tried everything doctors could sug- gest, with little or no benefit. A year or two ago, he says, he read in this column an article about tte use of castor oil as a remedy for the underlying trouble, not as relief for the headache itself. I have never taken as much as half teaspoonful of castor oil, the novelist says, but have taken few drops every morning for the past year or two, and it is certainly 8 fact that my headaches have been greatly reduced in number and that I have gotten over them more quickly. It may be that there is some hormone- substance in castor oil-but, as you said, physi- cinas do not know how to explain the effect of the castor oil treat ment of this condition.
 The sufferer who elects to give the treatment a try for migraine, facial neuralgia or intractable nervous" or neuralgia headache, should take certain dose of fresh pure caster oil daily, preferably. shortly after rising each morning, and determine the dose by trial and error-the purpose being to take only as much as possible short or producing the laxative effect of a full dose of castor oil. Most per- sons find that about ten drops daily is sufficient. Simplest way to take it is in soft capsules which come ready to take-each capsule containing approximately 5, 10 or more drops.
 After the first eight or ten weeks dose each alternate morning is sufficient, and this may be contin- ued two more months.
 After that dose once or twice week for several more months.
 After that write Ol Doc Brady Ilaw much good the treatment did or did not do you.

 Answer-Any one who imagines wastes" leave the body through the skin is too gullible. Even prin- ary school physiology should teach you that the skin is not an excre- tory or eliminating organ. Practi- cally only water and salt leave the body in the sweat. If the deordant cream does not irritate the skin too much for comfort it is harm less to use.

The civilians are gradually being crowded out of the passenger coaches. They have had sufficient warning so whatever discomfort is experienced is their own fault. The latest Washington edict is that all passenger coaches will be pooled for armed service use only. This, it is stated, does not prevent civilians from making an attempt to travel on trains, but, we might add, it crowds them sufficiently to discourage railway travel.

The paper, still sticking to the
board, is sun.dried. When finished
ii presents a smooth surface on the
side which faced the board, and a
rougher surface over which the mu-
into was rubbed.
This is almost exactly the process
described by Francisco Hernandez,
a Spanish naturalist who visited
Mexico not long after CorteZ. The
Aztecs, however sized their paper
after it was dry. That is, they COW
cred it with another substance and
then "ironed' the surface with heated
fat stones called planches.

was impressed was made Of baked
clay, wood and even metal. True, the

Aztec printing probably was later
than this, although the exact date
cannot be determined. The Mayas,
from whom the AZtecs wrested the
art Of papermaking-an perhaps of
printing-were at the height of their
science in the fifth century. Quite
likely a record of the development
of the two arts was among the count
less thousands of books that the men
of Cortez heaped in the market place
at Tlatelolco and burned.
But there is no doubt that the life
of the AZtecs centeTed around paper,
which was eXacted as tribute from
every paper-making community in
Mexico. Writers, artists and priests
used vast quantities for documents
and ceremonies. 1t was used for trib-
ute registers and trial records, for
maps and genealogies, for historical
annals and ritual calendars, and most
of all for religious ceremonies.
