Norway Dresses Up Whales
In Many Tasty Menu Bits

OSLO, NORWAY.-A hval in Nor,
way dresses up in more DISCUSSES
than the Scarlet Pimpernel.
A hval may be the whipped
cream in your coffee; OF the steak
on your plate.
A hval is so tasty in seven flavors
as an ice that children scream for
it. AS soap, it enhances the fair
skin of Nordic beauties.
A hval-a whale, that is-gets
made into almost anything in Nor
way.
You can scrap your old notions
of whaling as romantic John Bar
rymore rowing after the elusive
hulk of Moby Dick. That's how
Barrymore did it in a movie, once
upon a time.
Norway has turned whaling into
a coldly scientific industry with a
payoff of 60 million dollars a year.
She has over so million dollars tied
up in floating factories that sail
each winter to the antartic and re-
turn in the spring with 100000 met
ric tons of whale oil plus refrlg-
Grated steaks.

New "GoIden Drug" May
Be Cure for Measles

WASHINGTON. - Tentative evil
dence that the golden drug"
aureomycin. may be effective
against measles was reported to-
day.
At present there is no specific
drug weapon against this virus
disease. Barring complications. it
runs a normal course and patients
recover under normal nursing care.
DR.. Harry F. Bowling Of George
Washington university, who de-
scribed the work with aureomycin,
emphasized that the nine cases
treated are too few to warrant any
claim that the drug is a cure. But
he said prior to addressing the Dis
trict of Columbia medical society:
THE results were sufficiently en-
couranging to warrant u suggest
ing that the drug, which is safe to
use, be given further trial"
Bowling said the apparent eff
feet of the drug is to shorten the
fever stage of the disease. This is
the stage that begins prior to the
onset of a g%eneralized rash-and it
is during this period that the pa
tient is believed most susceptible
to complications.
In the cases treated with aureo-
mycin, fever began to fall in from
six to "a hours after the appear
ance Of rash.

Sailors Assert
Istanbu| Best
Liberty Port

ISTANBUL. - Istanbul is the
best liberty port the U. S. navy
ever dropped anchor in, according
to four out of five officers and men
of the aircraft carrier Tarawa and
escort vessels which visited here.
The American fleet, under COM
mand of Adm. Richard L. Con-
oily. was on the tail end of a five
months cruise which had taken it
to ports all over the Pacific, the
Far and Near East.
The men unhesitantly ranked
Istanbul over Athens, Hong Kong
and even Honolulu. Some went so
far as to say it is friendlier than
some American ports.
Police Get Credit
Much credit must go to Turkish
police officials, who bent owe back
ward to give the navy an "open-
armed welcome" Police had strict
orders to do everything possible"
to help the Americans. If a sailor
asked for directions, he was not to
be directed but escorted to his des-
tination. DRINKS or trouble-makers
were to be interfered with only as
a last resort, and then only turned
over to the shore patrol; never
arrested.
Special plainclothesmen were as
signed to watch taxicabs, restau-
rants and shops to see that prices
we're not hiked for the Yanks.
When taxis loaded with sailors
pulled up to a curb to unload, the
chances we're an innocent-appear-
ing bystander would saunter up to
watch the payroll.
If it was a penny too much the
driver made acquaintance with the
innocent bystander's identity-a po-
liceman. In cases of dispute, where
it appeared the Americans were
trying to gyp the cabby, the by
stander would pay the bill, out of
a special fund allotted for this
purpose by the city.
Chose Best Buses
The city administration chose
their best buses, painted signs on
them, Reserved for U. S. Naval
Personnel" and sent them to meet
all liberty boats to haul sailors to
points of interest free. In addition,
the Yanks were invited to ride all
regular buses and streetcars free.
More credit would have to go to
the Turkish IMAM on the street,
who, according to the sailors -.
were so friendly we really felt like
we were welcome here, and not
looked on as intruders." Scores of
officers and men were simply in
vited in off the streets to coffee or
tea by Turkish families, in addition
to organized receptions and parties
by the dozen.
american colony women set up
a "USO" in the Union D'Francaise
club which accommodated more
than 500 enthusiastic sailors every

Adults Taught
Child Writing
To Save Money

NEW YORK-March 8.-Teachins
grownups to write like children i:
the job of a pretty girl from
Georgia.
The purpose is to save dollars
for retail stores by making sales
slips so plain and clear that nc
mistake can be made.
II a department store ever sent
you a skirt" instead of a shirt"
you know the value of plain writing.
The girl in her early 2O's is
Madeline Rose Hosmer Bremen,
and she's from Atlanta. The sys-
tenn of writing-or rather. print
writing was started by her moth
er. Madeline Flint Hosmer. She
developed her system OF teaching
while with the Atlanta division of
the university system of Georgia.
Applied to Retailing
It was applied to retailing when
n of the south's largest depart
ment stores in Atlanta got Mrs.
Hosmer to teach their clerks to
write. They liked it. They still use
it. Saves money.
War interrupted commercial ex-
pansion of the teaching, and after
the war Mrs. Hosmer died.
The young daughter, who became
Mrs. Bremen recently, took over.
There was a long interval of prep
aration until she introduced it on
a nationwide scale at the last con-
vention of the National Retail Dry
Goods association in New York.
But a word on what it is. The
Hosmer print-writing system is
based simply on bold straight lines
and circles with only slight varia-
tons. An 80" is a circle. A 'C' is
a h~alf-circle. A "P" is a straight
line with a half-circle. It's that
easy for either upper or lower case.
Taught to Children
It is the way they teach little
children to write at first. There's
nothing fancy about it like a flow
ing S~pencerian hand, but you can
read it. Merchants whose clerks
use it seldom send a ball bat"
instead of a bath mat" to a GUS
toner.
The simplicity is what amazes
most people. Mrs. Hosmer during
the war taught the system to SOL
diers who could read, but had neg
lected, for one reason or another,
to learn to write at all. One soldier,
after learning print-writing, told
Mrs. Hosmer in all seriousness: IF
I'd known writin' was just like
readin', I'd learned to write a long
time ago"
That same simplicity mazed the
daughter when she started writing
a booklet on the subject at the end
of the war. Although she
''just grew up with mothers
print-writing," it took her II
months of writing and rewriting to
perfect a straightforward eXplana-
ton of a 36-page booklet of instruc-
That booklet is the basic tool in
the retail teaching system. Mrs.
Bremen reduced to the clinic level
the task of teaching thousands of
employees in a single store. She
a maximum of go employees
for training, usually supervisors.

A Visitor From
Israel
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1949. Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

For young people who are
looking about for a good occupa-
ton to get into, have you thought
of archaeology?
The presence in this country of
the famed DR.. Eleazar Sukenik,
archaeologist of the Hebrew Uni
versity, should be suggestive.
Why sit behind a desk or in a
factory or store all day? Why
not become an archaeologist and
live a life in the open?
All you require to enter this
field is shovel. That's all. You
just take the shovel and dig. Dig,
brother, dig and uncover from
the bosom of the earth the Sc
crets of the long past dead.
Of course, it will help you, if
in addition to digging, you pos
sess a knowledge of ancient He
brew, Chaldaic, Assyrian, Sans
krit and a few other tongues of
man of days gone by.
It has been said that no news
paperman ever wants his son to
follow in his footsteps, but that
is not apparently true of the ar
chaeologists. DR.. Sukenik's son
is also an archaeologist. He re-
ceived his electorate on the sub
ject, weapons and Strategy of
Biblical Times" I imagine as an
army officer during the recent
war in Palestine, for DR.. Suken-
ik's son attained the rank of col
onel, he has found the know
ledge of ancient warfare valu-
able. While the weapons of
course have vastly changed the
strategy must be much the same.
Stonewall Jackson, the great
confederate chieftain, once re-
marked that the whole secret of
warfare is to 'mystify and sur
prise" That is the way it al
ways was. Remember how JOSH
ua ambushed the enemy, pre-
tending to be in retreat and after
deceiving the enemy into be-
lieving that his numbers were
small, fell upon him with great
numbers. And reporters have
been recently telling us that the
Israelis won Safed in the present
war in Israel much as Joshua
won at Jericho. They employed
devices to exaggerate noise,
making the Arabs think they
were a mighty host, when in fact,
the Arabs outnumbered them.
But getting back to archaeol-
ogy, I asked DR.. Sukenik, after
you've got the shovel, how do
you know where to dig? I might
go out and dig and find a gold
mine. l don't want that. What!
Just filthy lucre! That's just
Grass commercialism. I want to
serve the cause of scholarship.
In Palestine, DR.. Sukenik told
me, the presence of some pottery
shells about a mound would be
an indication that it might be
worth digging there.
I had never thought of nature
in the light of a historian, yet
it seems she is the greatest his
torian of all. In the records of
history, nature pens in the
ground; there is not single err
