NTEW YORK.—In his book, “Man
the Unknown,“ published in
1935, Dr. Alexis Carrel revealed
profound misgivings as to whether
^ „ any existing
Dr. Carrel Charts patterns of
Human Behavior political or^
An.idNaziMi.ery i^ouM
meet the requirements of a stable
and humane civilization He urged
collective and concentrated scientif
ic inquiry into the nature of the
“whole man,” and possibly * of the
organic quality of human society.
The particularized knowledge of
physiology and medicine he found
inadequate to supply this under
standing.
When he went to France recently
he found a clinic and laboratory for
his continued studies with the
“whole man” caught in totalitarian
misery, and in a wide context of
spiritual and emotional stress—a
zone of social pathology no doubt
revealing to Dr. Carrel’s deeply
searching and penetrating eye.
Just why the Nazi overlords
of France should want to keep
him there, as reported in dis
patches, is a mystery. There is
no evidence that the Nazis ad
mire him. He has been no apol
ogist for their flagrantly unsci
entific dnd inhumane doings, and
if they expect to commandeer
%is profound knowledge of nutri
tion, medicine and surgery, it is
difficult to understand how they
may expect co-operation.
Dr. Carrel, a keen, compact,
round-headed little Frenchman, will
be 68 years old next month. The
world knows of his 34 years with
the Rockefeller Institute for Med
ical Research, the marvels he has
wrought, including his 29-year-old
living chicken heart, his distin
guished contributions to medical
science during the World war, and
his fashioning of the mechanical
heart with the co-operation of
Charles A. Lindbergh.
In the last few years he has been
preoccupied with the range of hu
man behavior lying outside and be
yond medical knowledge. He
visions some kind of government by
a scientific elite. On August 14,
1939, just before the guns blazed, he
said that civilized men must “pool
their brains,” or come to ultimate
failure and then added: “Our Amer
ica, with its democratic ideal, is
based on ideologies of the Eight
eenth century. If we used scientific
concepts instead of ideologies, we
might discover a new way of life.”

It is one of the most jittery
jobs of diamond manicuring ever
attempted, but so far is going
nicely. It took them a month
amf seven days to make this
small, but lucrative beginning,
working on the third largest
diamond in the world. It will

Ford Workers Vote on Unionization
Using secret ballots, more than 83,000 workers of the Ford Motor
company in the Detroit area voted overwhelmingly in favor of the U. A. W.-
C. I. O. to do their collective bargaining with Ford for them. Photo shows

Christening Navy’s Biggest Bomber
Reared in Los Angeles, Mr.
Winstbn learned the jewelry busi
ness with his father. Returning to
New York, after a stretch in the
AEF in the World war, he decided
the war and its aftermath would
imperil all values except those of
durable old Mother Earth her
self.
Land—that was the thing, in days
of threatened inflation and social
maladjustment. So he went into the
real estate business in New York.
The more he worked at it, the more
safe, sound and conservative seemed
the glitter of a diamond—even if
traditionally baleful. He opened a
wholesale jewelry business in New
York and soon was gathering in
some of the biggest and showiest
diamonds in the world. He paid
$900,000 for the Jonkers diamond of
425 carats and $700,000 for the
Vargas stone.

Japan’s frail little Mahatma
Uandhi, evangelist of world brother

Japan, is in New York, in further
ance of the newly organized Church
of Japan, which he helped to estab
lish. He expresses surprise at
talk of war with Japan and sees
ahead a world church union which
will end all wars. A tubercular little
man, Dr. Kagawa has suffered jail,
persecution, poverty and illness. He
preaches a merger of Christianity
and capitalistic economics.

G RETA GARBO has not only
acquired a new hair-do for
her next appearance oh the
screen—she’s to have a new tint
as well. It’s a special one con
cocted for her by Sydney Guil-
aroff, Metro hairdresser, and
he has named it ‘‘Moonlight
Blonde.”
As for the hair-do, it’s Napoleonic
—a fringe, with a soft point in the
back, and “a studied shagginess '
characterizing the whole coiffure,
complete even to forelock”; there’s
also the influence of the Botticelli
paintings, shown in a cap of short
curls.
There is nothing so handy in a

Tim Holt, young star of RKO
Westerns, and his father, Jack Holt,
will be seen togeth
er with Victor Mc-
Laglen and Ed
mund Lowe in the
RKO production,
“The Marines Are
Ready.” They’ll ap
pear as father and
son for the second
time on the screen.
The first time was
12 years ago, when
Tim, a boy of 10,
played the son in
his father’s star
ring vehicle, “Vanishing Pioneers.”
Tim is also a skilled polo player.

Between the scenes in the house
boat dining salon that you’ll see in
Paramount’s “Nothing But the
Truth,” Bob Hope, Edward Arnold,
Leif Erikson and Glenn Anders were
amusing themselves by filling the
crystal goblets to different levels
with water, then playing chimes on
them with silver spoons. The prop
man nearly had a fit—seems the
glasses were part of a dinner serv
ice worth more than $2,000.
“Send over to my house for some
thing less expensive,” urged Hope.
“Our goblets are cottage-cheese

Years ago Ruby Keeler was fa
mous on Broadway for her dancing,
in the days before
she married A1 Jol-
son. On the screen
she danced along
with other people;
now she’ll dance
alone for the first
time in pictures in
a musical, “Sweet
heart of the Cam
pus,” in which she
shares top honors
with Harriet Hil
liard, Gordon Oli
ver, and Ozzie Nel
son and his orchestra. Miss Keeler
was a star at the Texas Guinan
night club when a lad named George
Raft used to stop the show with a
skating Charleston.

Hope Is Mainspring
Is it an offense, is it a mistake,
is it a crime to take a hopeful
view of the prospects of your own
country? Why should it be? Why
should patriotism and pessimism
be identical? Hope is the main
spring of patriotism. — David

Point of Honor
As “unkindness has no remedy

you a point of honor.—Hosea

Larry Parks, young Group Thea
ter actor, played the Robert Mont
gomery part in tests with other ac
tors seeking the starring role in
“Heaven Can Wait”; as a result
he’ll have a featured part in the
forthcoming Paul Kelly-Lola Lane
“Mystery Ship.”
If you’ve seen “The Lady Eve”
you’ll remember those slapstick
falls of Henry Fonda’s long after
you forgot the plot of the picture.
Preston Sturges, who wrote and di
rected the picture, is also responsi
ble for “Sullivan’s Travels”—and h*
started right off by dropping JoeH
McCrea from a rope’s end into a
barrel of water. Furthermore, Mc
Crea had to wear a tramp’s rags
and a five-day beard. Veronica Lake
is McCrea’s co-star in this newest of
the Sturges comedies. They say it
will be as funny as “The Lady Eve.” i
Marlene Dietrich has selected the
five men who, she says, have the
most “womanpower”—she doesn’t
say what she means by that, accept
that it’s the opposite of “manpow- I

Gable, Orson Welles, Ernest Hem- <

Howard Hughes.

Backache
May Warn of Disordered
Kidney Action
Modern life with its hurry and worry.
Irregular habits, improper eating and
drinking—its risk of exposure and infec
tion—throws heavy strain on the work
of the kidney's. They are apt to beeorne
over-taxed and fail to filter excese acid
and other impurities from the life-giving
blood.
You may suffer nagging backache,
headache, dizziness, getting up nights,
leg pains, swelling—feel constantly
tired, nervous, all worn out. Other signs
of kidney or bladder disorder are some
times burning, scanty or too frequent
urination.

kidneys to pass off harmful excess body
waste. They have had more than half a
