British museum for the first

British museum for the first
time since the war. The Port
land vase, which, though smashed
by vandals a century ago, is
worth more than 100000 in its
restored state, also will be watch
ed by augmented guards.
The Astor robbery probably will
delay exhibition of the British
crown jewels until recently order
ed photo-electric protective de-
vices are installed.
Scotland Yard agents, present
ed with their most daring and
largest robbery in years, cabled
details of the crime to the United
States and the continent. They
guarded ports and airfields
throughout the British Isles, to
keep the bandits from escaping to
Holland, Belgium or France.
The agents said they had "sev-
eral valuable clues" but they did
not indicate whether they had any
suspects. The belief grew that
the robbery was committed by an
international gang, working on
direct assignment, and with pur-
chaser in view.
Every art collector and conois-
seur in the world is familiar with
the Aston collection, and it was
emphasized that no legitimate
collector would have anything to
do with the 1880 pieces stolen.
Scotland Yard agents feared that
black market profiteers on the
continent had determined to get
the collection for the mere thrill
of possession. 1t was not likely
that the thieves would break up
gold and jeweled pieces, because
most of their value lay in histori-
cal association.
But just 16 pieces of the stolen
collection were estimated to be
worth 100000.
Among the clues were the tire
tracks of a Rolls-Royce sedan the
bandits used to escape after the
robbery at dawn Sunday, and a
small, round cigarette lighter
which they were believed to have
dropped.

GULF OIL TAKES
PROPERTY OPTION

A 60-day option on more than go
acres of land on the east bank of
the Cape Fear river south of the
shipyard for possible construction
of new fuel oil terminal has been
taken out by the Gulf Oil company.
M. H. Cameron, Gulf Oils dis
trict representative in Fayetteville,
said last night that plans are "still
immature" but added that "if
negotiations are carried out on
schedule" Gulf may erect a huge
oil terminal on the property before
the end of this year"
Locally Owned
The property, which lies south
of the Atlantic and Socony-Vacuum
company sites, belongs to A. M.
McKoy, Of the Watters-Snipes real
ty firm in Wilmington.
"With negotiations still under
way" McKoy said last night,
neither party is in a position to
reveal the amount of the proposed
transactions. We hope, however,
that the deal will 60 through as now
planned.
Use Cape Fear
According to ]. E. Furr, Gulf
local distributor, the company at
present uses the facilities of the
Cape Fear terminal for discharge
of Cuffs tankers and storage OF
fuel oil.
If the Gulf plans materialize, Will
mington will get two new terminals
on it's busy waterfront. The SIN
clair Oil company has already an
nou.lced its proposal to construct
$750,000 terminal on the old Bel
well Cotton Mill company property
and the old Spirittine Chemical
company site, some time in ''the
near future"

ALONG THE CAPE FEAR
FROM PAGE ONE

OF things dear to all of us along
the Cape Fear, we set the sails
on our Cape Fear frigate and
swept into the fray.
And what happened? We went
aground on the shoals of no in
formation. We have found out a
staggering sum-total of absolutely
nothing about the Wilmington Tea
Party.
Much as we hate to admit de-
feat, we must, right now; this very
minute, in defence and preserva-
ton of our mental faculties, knot
up the loose end and concede the
victory to Boston.
TWO DIsAPPOINTMENTs-
second loose end dates back to
Wednesday, April 10, on which day
we published a list of old Whining
ton hotels Jenny Lind might have
stayed in, if indeed she ever came
to Wilmington at all.
Although we would very much
like to claim the honor for the
Port City, there is nothing we
can do now but deny that Jenny
paid us a visit-because we GER
tainly can't have her sleeping on a
park bench or wandering around
all night looking for one hospitable
door.
Similarly, we must disappoint
Mr.. j. Marion James, perched like
an exiled bird up there in his
Manhattan apartment. Mr.. James,
in an effort to blank Manhattan S
busy dizzy streets from his vision,
asked us to find out about the Old
Plank Road which, he says, ran
from Princess street to Greenville
Sound.
On Thursday, April II, we tried to
exhume the wooden road from the
Cape Fear country's sandy soil.
Sorry, Mr.. James. We can't even
find splinter.
MOPING MEDICINE-Our fourth
loose end began fraying on Friday,
April u. On that day, you may
recall, we plugged Waunda's CAD
get-the one which "sharpens the
edge of curiosity and stirs up
few memories '-into tn. wall. But
something is wrong with it. We
think it has short-circuited and
blown a brain-fuse in our head.
Anyway, it conjured up a picture
of the horse-drawn streetcars
which supposedly used to ply up
and down the streets Of Whining
ton. At that point it went dead,
and we had to pull the plug out OF
the wall.
It hasn't worked since (Waunda
writes and says he-or she-has
had the same trouble with it, so
there is nothing for us to do now
but also pull the plug" out of
the streetcar harness and say that
|horse-drawn streetcars, like the
Wilmington Tea Party, the Jenny
Lind hotel, and the Old Plank
Road, are thin-air dreams that
never thickened.
Okay, doctor. The loose ends are
all knotted up now-but now you'll
have to mix up medicine to keep
us from moping.
And find some stout sinew to
sew up our broken heart.

Dorothy Dix SAYS

Dear Miss Dix: I have met the
man of my dreams and l want to
marry him. He doesn't make much
money and has been hesitant in
making love to me, and l thought
it was because of financial reasons.
So I finally proposed to him and
he didn't say yes" or no He
only wanted to think it over
Several times 1 have been real
persistent and raised my temper
begging him to say yes I am
not in doubt that he loves me be-
cause I know he does, and now
think he is just afraid to get mar
ried. How can l make him really
want to get married? D. A. L.
Answer - Well, daughter, you
know that there are certain un-
written laws of courtship by which
men are bound. One is that when
a man asks girl to marry him and
she declines, he accepts her deci-
sion IN a sporting spirit and turns
his attention elsewhere. He doesn't
make her life miserable with his
opportunities. Now that women
are doing the counting and popping
the question they should respect
the same traditions.
You have told this man that you
love him and want to marry him

Rexiglas Magic
By Elem Sakes

An exhibit of interest to all home
makers is now on view at one of the
leading department stores here in
Washington. This very same dream
suite" emphasizing the manifold
uses Of Pleziglas has been shown all
over the Nation and has been fea-
tured in many magazines.
The dream suite" designed by the
Rohm e. Hass Co, developers of
crystal-clear acrylic plastics, is in
tended to show architects, designers
and home builders how Plexiglas
which was used so successfully for
turrets, nose sections. and other in
closures in every type of Army and
Navy plane, can be adapted to home
use.
Plexiglas is highly shatter resist
ant, easily heated and formed into
any shape The development of large
size sheets of PleXiglas during the
war now makes it possible to con-
struct walls, doors, shower stalls
and fixtures Of the material.
The above photographs illustrate
how Plexiglas can fit into the aver
age home. In the first picture the

and. either because he doesn't want
you for wife, or he feels that he
is not in financial position to
marry, he has virtually said no"
to you, At any rate, he is stalling
for time, and no ardent lover doe
that.
Also, in being so persistent and
practically trying to hound this man
into marrying you, you are taking
the worst possible way of getting
him, for men still like the illusion
that they are the pursuers and not
the pursued in the love chase.
You say that you think the young
man is afraid of marriage. Per-
haps it is that he is afraid of you
because you have given him reason
to believe that if he married you,
you would be SO determined to al
ways have your own way and get
what you wanted that you would
dominate him and henpeck the life
out of him.
AS l see it, your best play is to
drop your lovemaking for a while.
Leave him alone. Let him think
that you have gotten over your in
fatuation. If he thinks he has lost
you. it may make him realize that
he loves you more than he thought
he did.

Etiquette

A reader says: Il hope you won't
mind my repeating a question which
you answered several weeks ago,
which is this: When the dessert is
dished in the kitchen and brought
IN on individual plates, should the
silver be put on the plate with the
dessert or on the table with the
other silver? Your answer to this
was: Correctly, the dessert imple-
ments are brought in on the dessert
plate, but for convenience they may
be brought on with the dessert itself
or be placed horizontally above each
place when the table is set. Forgive
me, but I do not understand what
you mean.
I was describing very formal serv-
ice, when the dessert implements
are brought in on each plate without
food on it. The dessert then is
passed around the table If you
serve dessert on each plate, you
either could put the spoon or fork
cor both, beside the dessert or you
could place the implements on the
table horizontally above the service
plate when the table is set. If put
above instead of at the side of the
service plate, the dessert imple-
ments will not be used for an earlier
course.

Spring is certainly one of the
loveliest times of year! The SHOWS
and winds and northers of winter
are things of the past. buds and
leaves appear to burst out overnight
in a truly magical fashion and all
OF the great outdoors seems to be
beckoning to us. Poets write their
best sonnets, love flourishes and
women become more and more fig
ure conscious.
OF course, spring is also the time
when termites flourish and do their
worst work and when figure faults
which have been covered during the
winter will soon make a public ap-
pearance in play clothes, swim suits
and shorts. Thank heavens there is
AN effective treatment for both ter
mites and figure faults We have
to meet life as it comes but we don't
have to take it." We can get rid
of termites and figure faults and if
we never have any more stubborn
problems than those two we will be
lucky indeed.
Stomachs can be Debated more
easily than egos and Jumps can give
way to lovely curves. You can melt
fatty deposits and mold your figure
to that streamlined, alive condition
which adds grace and charm to any
woman, no matter what her age!
1t IS all up to you. You have to
contribute your share of energy and
enthusiasm If We are to succeed.
If you are pounds too heavy YOU
will have to count calories as we'll

diet.

faults which makes YOU self con-
sclous and cause you to give up the

You still have time!

demand more in figure perfection
than any We have endured for a
long time. One-strap dresses, bare
midriffs, sun-back dresses cut to the
waist, and exposed shoulders, as well
as the slim straight line which still
enjoys popularity; all of these high
light the figure.
1t is always interesting to see how
much larger reduction in measure

added to calorie counting. When
you combine the two you lose in the

of weight reduction. If you simply
