 The Smiths, who have only five weeks for their trip to the Territory. find themselves crowded for time but their adventurous spirit is pro- claimed by their drive over the high way, as far as Circle, camping out enroute and finding their road blocked by moose that would rather Ee chased than get out of the way. Leaving their car in Fairbanks, they made quick roundtrip by Pan American to Juneau to interview government officials regarding ter ritorial problems.
 ''If we only had more time" the Smiths were saying as they left Ju- neau Monday afternoon to pick up their car in Fairbanks and start their journey home.

Fish produtis Have
 Equal Nourishment
 To Meat for Humans

Fishery foods are as good as meat for the human body.
 Tests conducted by Dr. Hugo w. Nilsson, pharmacologist at the Fish and Wildlife Service laboratory ir College Park, Md, and Miss Shir- ley J Wilson, a graduate assistant in fisheries, to show the effect of a fish diet on the red cell count and hemoglobin value of human blood have proven that fishery foods are the equal of meat.
 The experiment was made in CO., operation with the University Of Maryland's College of Home Econ omics. It was the first of it's kind in this laboratory to use human | subjects The results were announced today by the Fish and Wildlife Ser vices Branch of Commercial Fish cries.
 Six University of Maryland CO., eds, l9 to "A years of age, parti- cipated in the eleven-week experi- ment. They consumed standard diet of their own choice for three weeks. Blood tests taken once a week during this period reported their red cell counts and hemoglo- tin values.
 During the next seven weeks, four of the girls stopped eating meat and consumed fishery foods as the big noon-day dish of their diets They ate fresh-water fish, salt I water fish. and shell fish--broiled baked, steamed and fried The two other girls continued on their regular diets on which meat was a chief item for the duration of the test.
 The four girls on the fish diet returned to their standard food fare in the last week of the experi- ment to provide a second check
 Dr. Nilsson and Miss Wilson noted that the red cell count and hemoglo- bin value of the four girls on the fish diets remained the same as when they were eating meat The counts and values were the same in relationship as the two girls or the standard diets during the seven week period. There was even ar increase in the cell count and in the hemoglobin value for the four girls on the fish diets for several weeks
 AS result of his experiment, Dr Nilsson says that fishery foods main tain as good red cell count ano hemoglobin value in human blood as does meat. Hemoglobin is the chemical substance that forms the Iblood's red color and carries oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the Eody
 Dr. Nilsson says that protein and mineral content of fishery foods ls 4 also the equal of meat. Protein and mineral values of all animal foods probably the same, regardless of species, he says.
 : One of his recent experiments showed that from 89 to 96 percent of fishery foods is digestible, while 87 to 90 percent of beef and chicken is digestible.

Er. Murphy Writes
Inspiring Novel
EVE LAVALLIERE
BY Father Edward F. Murphy
Doubleday, So
Reviewed by
JOSEPH A. FOX.
Reviewed by
NINA PEMBERTON.

Eve Lavalliere," based on the life
of a real actress who rose, not only
to fame but also to celestial heights
of religious piety, is more than an
ordinary novel. 1t is an inspiring
story of the power of human sur
vival, human success, and self-sac-
rifice.
From the cutters of Perpignan
and Toulon, in the south of France,
Eve emerged into the glittering
limelight of the Paris theater. Years
of study, failure, hope and dissolu-
tion finally bore fruit and, along
with Yvonne Printemps and the
aging Sarah Bernhardt, Eve Laval
liere took her place in the rarefied
atmosphere of the great in Paris.
But this was not enough for Eve
Lavalhere, whose name in Perpi-
gnan had been plain Eugene Fe-
noglio. She wanted more than the
worldly goods. She wanted to search
for truth and for God. Abandoning
the security of fame and fortune,
she set out, as Eugene Fenoglio, to
search for truth. There were more
rebuffs, more uphill climbs, and
more disappointmeuts. The church
die not take kindly to her past, but
sacrifice, self-torture and prayer
finally were repaid by her admit
tance into the fold.

In Further Praise

NO SON OF MINE

NO SON OF MINE
BY G.. B. Stern. (Macmillan,' ;
$780,
Miss G. B. Stern, the English
novelist and eSSayiSt, has always
been generous in her praise of other
writer's. A few years back, in COL
laboration with Sheila e-Smith,
she wrote a most glowing trib-
ute to Jane Austen. Now in mo
Son of Nine she has expended con-
siderable ingenuity to express her
admiration of the rare spirit Of
Robert Louis Stevenson.
In attempting to find a new ap-
proach to the personality of
Stephenson, she has built a novel
around the figure of a tramp who
found that his amazing resemblance
to r. L. S. opens up whole new
career of cadging in literary circles.
In order to strengthen his conten-
ton that he is Stephenson's il
legitimate son, Robert Black, reads
the letters of his supposed father.
But instead of finding new means
of loosening Stephenson worship
er's prrse-strlngs, he is moved to
reluctant admiration and eventually
to regenerating love for the writer.
Miss Stern has cleverly contrived
to relate the crises in her shabby
hero's life to those of Stephenson's.
But Robert Black is never a wholly
plausible figure and mo Son of
Mine" is actually more animated
literary criticism than successful
fiction. It is when Miss Stern writes
in that importunate, articulate style
of hers of Stevenson's tough moral
code, his passionate integrity and
his gallant gayety that she is at
home and at her best.-M. MEG.

seemed to think was the least

from the immense nausea of defeat, i"
Miss Barley thinks, Patrick was
new undismayed life, a reaflrma-
tion."
Greeted Like Vandenberg.
Patrick's fair for melting the
mighty helped enormously in getting
him here because one OF his lobby

too happy to expedite the small

at National Airport (where he now
loves to go to watch the planes)
Patrick was greeted like Senator
Vandenberg with the latest dope on
a four-power parley."
A total extrovert, he was sensa-
ton with the press.
In the days following their tu-

learned what motherhood really

ings about Lincoln. The story of
Gettysburg has been told in in
Vulnerable ways, factually and IN
romance.
And yet the authors of this book
have managed to compile some
thing new. This is a record COM
posed of the observations of men
who were there, soldiers on both
sides, and a few civilians who wit
messed portions of the action during
the first three days of July in 1868.
These recollections were taken from
memoirs, letters and diaries.
The result probably will add moth
ing new to the military annals OF
the battle, and yet it is an intensely
interesting eyewitness account of
the three fateful days. 1t Is almost
as if some reporter had been able
to take down at random the words
of those who were in the thick OF
the fierce fight-generals, captains,
sergeants, privateS and terrified res
idents of the little town and nearby
farms.
Necessarily the battle is described
in disjointed episodes. Even so, the
cumulative effect is a vivid, fearful
picture of courage and carnage. 1t
is surprising is it?-that some
professional soldiers were more con-
cerned when they wrote their i'm
pressions with the human side of
the story than with tactics and dis
positions of troops. The most
articulate soldier quoted was Frank
Arteas Haskell, Vermont-born Wis
consin lawyer, who served as an aide
to Gen GihhQn.
