BAHAMAS ATTRACTS
BRITISH CAPITAL

NASSAU, Bahamas W.R-Large
sums of idle British capital are
being transferred from English
banks to Nassau to escape the
present unsettled conditions and
the high taxes in Britain,
Being unable to buy dollars I'M
der exchange control regulations,
the British capitalists must keep
their wealth within the British
colonies which use the sterling
currency, and they are particularly
attracted to Nassau.
For many years a haven for
tax-weary Americans, the BAHIA
mas needs no income tax nor prop
erty tax to balance its budget
a system of import duties averag-
ing Is per cent has always pro-
vided ample revenue for the gov
eminent.
AS the wealthy newcomers
seek investments for their idle
capital fantastic prices are
being offered for tax-free Nassau
real estate. Many old land owners
have succombed to the rising
offers.
Sells for $500, 900
One large business property
with a frontage on the main street
as well as on the harbor, with an
old one-and-a-half story shop build
ing, has just sold for $500, 600. An
other smaller lot, also with har-
Dor frontage, and a large ramb-
ling old house brought 500, 600.
British interests this year have
bought three of Nassau's half
dozen tourists notes.-the Fort
Montagu Beach Hotel, the Rozelda,
and the Shoreham. Barclays Bank
the great branch bank Of the
British colonial empire, has bought
a large building in the center of
the business district and will open
for business soon to break the
monopoly SO long enjoyed by a
branch of the Royal Bank Of
Canada.
Sir Victor Sassoon, millionaire
banker of the Far East before the
war, has set up an office in
Nassau from which to control his
affairs. Nestle's Anglo-Swiss Milk
Products have moved their control
to bring out stores of English an
tiuues to sell to the American tour
lists.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-R)ElhlS
is the season of imitation, ingenui-
ty and nervous disorders in the
broadcasting headquarters of the
nation.
These are the sun struck days
when the grocery, oil, automotive,
tobacco and drug hierarchy settle
with stiff faces in New York hotel
suites to figure out what they have
to give the rest OF us in the way
of radio entertainment to pry open
our purses for their wares.
Evidently they've decided that
the hour-by-hour listening habits
of the last decade should not be
drastically disturbed.
Radio program listings, like the
seasonal goings and comings re-
corded On almost any society
page, will have the same old
names in familiar old programs,
shuffled about a bit, a new voice
added here and there and some
longtime network residents taking
up new leases elsewhere.
Anyone over 10 years old can
hardly regard Al Jolson as a new
star, yet his recent radio renais-
sance on other shows made him
the catch of the season. NBC
signed him for a Thursday night
show.
Jimmy Durante and Frank ST.
natra have pulled out Of CHS and
have berths on NBC on Wednes-
day and Saturday nights, respec-
lively. The NBC symphony has
from Sunday afternoon to accom-
modate a new hour-long dramatic
been switched to Saturday night
series. Fred Waring is expected
to have a new night show on that
network. Gerry Moore gets Pills
Bakers job On "Take 1t Or Leave
It."
Those are a few OF the impor-
tant personnel notes in a schedule
bounded on the north by Jack
Benny at z on Sunday nights and
on the south by Kay Kyser at 10
pm. Saturdays.
CHS is less familiar. "Infor-
nation Please" has departed for
Mutual, where it will be aired at
$3.50 Friday nights beginning o.
tober 3. Lionel Barrymore has
changed to ABC in "The Mayor
Of The Town. to be curtain raiser
on that networks Wednesday
night parlay Of Abbott and Cos
tello, Jack Paar, Bing Crosby and
Henry Morgan.
To compensate for its heavy
'big name" program losses, CHS
is concentrating ON attractions
known in the trade as public
service" although quite often the
public turns its a away. CHS
will do at least n documentary
a month covering such subjects as
Lincoln's letters, education and
the 2OO-inch telescope.
CHS is holding on to Abe Bur-
rows, Meredith Wilson Sweeney
and March, Bill Goodwin Robert
O. Lewis, "Studio One" and
.'Strike It Rich" Either "Roof
Tops Of The City" or Escape"
will be dropped. OF their OLD prop
critics and personalities, Ozzie and
Harriet, Radio Theater, Phil Spi-
talny, Mr.. Keen, Dick Haynes
and Fannie Brice are returning.

DUTCH. HOLIDAY
WITH s. CENTS
How Would You Like A
Vacation With Such A
Small Sum?
By Leroy KELLER

United Press Staff correspondent
BRUSSELSUP-HoW would yor
like to set out for a holiday in
one of the most expensive coun-
tries OF Europe with IS cents in
your pocket?
If you live in Holland and were
accustomed before the war to TAX
ing your vacation at one OF the
beaches along the Belgian coast
or at Spa in the Ardennes, the
task of doin.. it on IS cents a day
would be yo4r problem now.
Each country in Europe rigidly
controls it's foreign exchange and
it has all but crippled the tourist
business in Belgium, fourth larg'
est industry before the war.
Prior to 1899. thousands Of
Dutch, French and English flock
ed to Belgium each summer.
where some of the finest sand
beaches on the continent are 10
Gated at Ostende, Blankenberge,
and lie Zoute.
This summer, according to Ar
thur Haulot, high commissioner Of
touring for Belgium, hardly a
Dutchman has crossed the border,
except when he has wangled spe'
cial dispensation for business rea-
sons.
Hoard Foreign Exchange
Frenchmen are allowed to take
out the equivalent OF 500 Belgian
francs, about Sill, and Englishmen
are permitted to take out rs
pounds ($300) per year, as each
country boards foreign exchange.
Some people get around this
desperate situation, Haulot ad-
mits, by selling a jewel or other
treasure, but the terrific expense
of living in Belgium invites the
shortest of stays.
Tourists are forced to spend
their meager sums on lodging,
food and transportation. They
have practically nothing left to
pay for goods-one Of the reasons
why Belgian stores remain well
stocked.
There are a lot Of Americans
here this summer, and they are
welcomed at the best prices.
Americans are still regarded as
millionaires.
Haulot recognizes that a cheap
ening of Belgian money, one Of
Europe's hardest, would bring the
tourists back, but he gladly subor-
dinates the welfare of his depart
ment to Belgium's ~long-range plan
Of building up her industrial ca
pacity SO she can capture a large
portion of Europe's consumer
market.
Inmate OF Dashau
Hau1ot is considered here as one
Of the rising young men of the
Socialist party. He is 80, six feet,
two inches tall. His complexion is
ruddy. but his big frame is still
gaunt from the three and a hall
years he spe1.t in German concen.
tration camps.
Two and a half years Of thai
period he was a. notorious
pachau, and today he wears a
lapel pir proudly to mark his
membership in what has become
a worldlike fraternity-the Inter
national Association of Former
Political Prisoners at Dachau.
The emblem is a small shield Of
gold, white and orange, and or
each one is engraved the wearer's
number as a political prisoner.
Haulot's number was 39095,
The tourist commissioner is
chief Belgian delegate and repre-
sented the 600 members from his
country at the International con-
vention Of the association in Paris
last May. He has written a boos
of his experiences while at Da-
chau. 1t will be published in
France ere this fall.

less dog shelter and then after a
reasonable length Of time the dog
destroys someone's property and
he sues you. The courts will say
that you must pay for the damage
even if the animals regular own
er comes forth to claim the AMI
NAL. It's strange but that's the
law in many states.
SUN AND PUPPIES
Sunlight is extremely beneficial
to growing dogs but for very
young pups the strong rays can
be decidedly dangerous. Do not
expose puppies under ten days Of
age to the direct rays of the sun
Cor any appreciable length Of
time. Never place a litter of young
dogs in a pen unless you are Ger
tain that at least part Of the pen
is shaded. Otherwise, a puppy
might suffer a slight sunstroke. Il
this should happen, cool his head
with damp cloths and place him
in a shady spot. Keep him as
quiet as possible. Normally he will
recover quickly, suffering no i'll et
fects.

THE QUESTION O

Question: What causes ricketts, to
develop in a dog? R. N. G..
Answer: ricketts, is caused by a
deficiency Of bone salts. Contribu-
tory factors are worms, improper
feeding, insufficient exercise, alb
sence of exposure to sunlight,
damp quarters, O. anything that
hinders a pup in absorbing lime
salts.
Question: Has a dog ever lived
to be over twenty years of age?
H. T.
Answer: Yes. The authenticated
record is % years and 4 months.
I know others who have claimed
their dog lived to a greater age
but were unable to offer definite
proof.

flying time for any dog to have
logged.
WHEN PICKING UP DOG
Hundreds Of times I have seen
Young puppies picked up by the
.forelegs or by only n foreleg'
This is one of the most injurious
treatments that a pup can re-
ceive. 1t puts an unnatural stran
on the leg or legs and, lndlrectly'
on the pups whole body.
Many a dog owes a permanent
" twisted shoulder or chrome dis
location to the fact that some lazy
or ignorant person acquired the
habit of picking him up by the
leg. Or the formation of the soft
little bones has been warped. Ihls,
apart from the pain incurred al
the time it was done.
The best way to lift a puppy
from the ground is to place your
cupped palm under his body, be,
tween stomach and chest, so that
some semblance Of balance is
maintained and 50 that he will moi
slip from your hand as ne is
picked up. Thus, no special strain
comes on any part of him.

or if he wriggles too much, USE
