THE SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C, FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1940 WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK News Hounds in France Yelp at Ban on ‘Digging 1 By LEMUEL F. PARTON (Consolidated F eatures—WNU Service.) EW YORK.—There is a bitter • L ^ outcry in the press coop as Air Marshal Arthur S. Barratt tells the correspondents in France that here- after they must feed on handouts —no more digging out their own stories. British newspaper owners retaliate by calling home the news men. It is one of several unfor tunate instances of ineffective co operation between British high com mand and the newspapers. Foreign correspondents I have talked to have told me that the British air service, staffed by younger men than is the army, has been far less encumbered with brass hats and bureauc racy, and that its higher rank ing officers understood and co operated with newspaper men. Hence the handout order, a sweeping decree in barring jour nalists from all news sources, comes from an unsuspected quarter. Marshal Barratt was appointed to the command of the newly created unified French-British air force by Neville Chamberlain January 10 of this year. He is 49 years old, a lav ishly decorated flier and air officer of the World war, in India at inter vals since 1931, senior air officer for India during part of that period. He joined the Royal Flying corps in *1914 and fought through the war. He has been commandant of the R. A. F. staff college at Andover. Many of the most effective leaders of the British air force have come from the Colonies. Marshal Barratt was bom at Clifton, England, and was educated at Clifton college and Woolwich.

You see, though Hollywood has plenty of practically ev erything else, it’s short on elephants; rounding up a thousand unusually pretty girls would be child’s play compared to putting your hand on a dozen of the animals just when you wanted them. That’s why O. C. Stratton, Para mount property department head, has arranged to feed 12 of them from now until next summer, when the filming of “Moon Over Burma” is scheduled to begin. The elephants belong to the de funct Hagenbeck and Wallace Cir cus, whose receivers agreed to keep the stock on the West coast if the studio would foot their board bill. So the pachyderms are quartered at Camarillo, Calif., devouring dollars’ worth of hay daily—and it is hay- while preparations for “Moon Over Burma” goes on. The story opens in Mandalay and shifts to the teak plantations of Rangoon, where the: elephants will be shown hauling the heavy wood, while Paramount for gets about buying hay and just pays rental fees. * When you see “Cornin’ Round the Mountain” you can close your eyes and pretend you’re at home listen ing to the radio—there are eight well-known radio names in the cast.

AT FIRST popularized by women at swank sum mer and winter playgrounds, then spreading like a banyan tree to include women every where, the vogue for slacks has been growing until this summer more 1 trim, trig and versatile trouser suits are be ing worn than ever before in fashion history. It is no wonder that women the country over have adopted slacks as the most sensible costume ever invented. For housework they are a sheer delight, likewise for driving, for long cross-country trips, for golf, tennis, picnicking, marketing and for informal dining, slacks have be come an enthusiasm that knows no bounds. Designers who have always had their ears to the ground to catch the trend of women’s likes and dis likes have caught this sweeping ap proval of slacks and have set about creating new and fascinating styles. This has added to the growing de mand for American designers—de signers who understand the psychol ogy of the American woman. It is interesting to note that Ruth Wade Ray, director of the Vogue School of Fashion Design in Chicago, says that the greatest number of calls they have for graduate designers comes from manufacturers of sports wear. This, of course, includes slacks and shows the nation-wide trend toward simplified smart at tire. The three-piece style we are il lustrating is becoming almost a uni versal favorite in that it is so emi nently practical, including, as it does, both skirt and slacks.

A multiple duty feature is added with the skirt (centered in illustration) which, worn with the blouse, becomes a costume for shopping, bridge or al most any place you desire to wear it. An idea gaining popularity this season is a new version of the loung ing pajama. But they’re slacks just the same! The trousers are very wide looking, almost like a skirt un til the wearer moves about. These are made in soft materials, often with contrasting blouses as shown to the right in the group. In this instance the trousers are in a most attractive clay red and the blouse is of sun-yellow crepe, a coloring in keeping with the environs of a Cali fornia living room, the theme of which includes a gay sombrero on the wall, a basket to match and candelabra of glittering tin, some thing very new in household decora tion. So completely have women be come converted to the trouser-cos tume idea, slacks in more or less colorful and designful mood are con sidered quite proper, have, in fact, become very popular as an informal dinner costume. Certainly they are vastly becoming and have lots of appeal in their accents of gay color.

JAMES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) T HE treatment of atrophic rhinitis, the dry form of catarrh, has not been satis factory, so that new method of treatment is put forward that may give relief from the dis comfort and em barrassment of this ailment these patients gladly seek it. Treatment by X-rays and by pushing a rubber bag con taining hot water up the nose has given relief often. Recently, Drs. W. W. Eagle, R. D. Baker and E. C. Hamblen, Durham, N. C., recorded their findings in Archives of Otolaryngology, Chicago. They used estrogens in the treatment of 14 pa tients with atrophic rhinitis. Small sec tions of the mucous membrane or lining surface of the nose were removed and carefully studied be fore the estrogen was injected into the nose, so that the actual effect of this extract upon the mucous membrane would be known (any change in the color, the cells, the amount of mu cus or moisture.) After the little piece of membrane had been re moved, another little piece was re moved after the patients had been treated with the estrogens from 27 to 216 days. No patient complained of deafness or head noises. Twenty-Two Start Treatment. Twenty-two patients started the estrogen treatment but for economic reasons and distance from the clin ic eight did not return for second examination of the membrane. The patients washed out their noses twice daily with salt solution —one-half teaspoon to a glass of water—10 minutes later washed it out again with one or other of these solutions (to remove the crusts that had been loosened with the first washing). The estrogen substance was sprayed into the nose. Twenty- one of the 22 patients reported that they were helped and wanted to continue treatment. In all of the 14 cases where treat ment was completed, there was complete or almost complete dis appearance of the crusts and in not one case could the usual terrible odor (from the crusts) be noticed. The membrane had a more normal color and a smoother surface.

Colds May Be Due To Emotional Strain V7TRTUALLY every physician has ’ had cases where the wife nursed the husband through an illness, in addition to having other work and other responsibilities on her shoul ders. The patient recovered but the wife was stricken and died of the same ailment, usually pneumonia. What happens in these cases? The physical effort is always great— but it is the mental, emotional or nervous effort that breaks down the resistance to infection. It was be lieved that the emotional upsetment, the worry about the patient, was the only factor that put a strain on the heart and caused it to fail. There is, however, another factor that causes the loss of resistance to infection in those under emo tional disturbances. We have all experienced the dryness of nose and throat which occurs when we are excited, worried, in suspense, or “worked up” about something. It is now known that this emotional disturbance so affects the lining of the nose that it loses its natural moisture or “protective” moist coating that prevents harmful or ganisms getting a body “hold.” Nature’s Defense Line. Dr. J. Kent Leasure, Indianapolis, recently stated: “When the nose and throat feel dry as a result of emotional or physical strain, the body’s first line of defense against dangerous and troublesome colds is being smashed. The thin moist coating of mucus in the nose is the body’s barrier to or defense against the organisms causing colds. Let the glands man ufacturing this mucus be put out of action for as short a time as half an hour, and the cold-causing or ganisms can get into the human system and produce their unpleas ant and dangerous effects.” • • • QUESTION BOX Q.—Will Epsom salts and lemon juice taken daily reduce the weight safely and tend to decrease blood pressure?

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for May 26 Lesson subjects and Scripture text* se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JEREMIAH ANNOUNCES THE NEW COVENANT LESSON TEXT—JeremfPh 51:31-37. GOLDEN TEXT—I will put my law la their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and wiU be th-ir God. and they shall be my people.—Jeremiah 31:33. God’s law written in the hearts of all men—surely that is the ultimate goal of all of our efforts, and therein we will find the solution of all of our problems. Jeremiah the prophet, in the midst of a despairing people with only captivity and sorrow be fore them because of their sinful rebellion against God, gives a prophetic foregleam of the day when all Israel and Judah should know God. Sin was to be forgiven, fellowship restored, and men over all the earth were to know God. Obviously, that prophecy is still future for Israel, but in the mean time God has permitted us to enter into the enjoyment of our covenant of grace. I. The Old Covenant (vv. 31, 32). The promise of a new covenant at once raises the question, "What was the old covenant?” We do not have space to make any complete study of it, but we note that while God did make a great covenant with Abraham, founding the nation of Israel (Gen. 17:1-14), the reference by Jeremiah is evidently to the cov enant with Moses (Exod. 20-23). We observe that it was 1. National (v. 32). The old cov enant was made with Israel only, and could bring blessing to the other nations of the earth only indirectly, as they might share the peace and prosperity which would have come to Israel had they been obedient to God. God was here dealing with a chosen nation for whom He had a specific plan and purpose. 2. Limited (v. 32). The blessing of the old covenant was limited not only in the sense that it was national, but also in that it was con ditional. God’s promise hinged on His word in Exodus 19:5: “Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people.” In other words, the fulfillment of this cov enant was dependent on the faith fulness of the people. We know that they failed. 3. Broken by Israel (v. 32). God was like “an husband” (v. 32) unto Israel. He was patient, tender, for giving, always trying to restore them to Himself. He used His great power on their behalf as He “took them by the hand,” and yet we read “my covenant they brake” (v. 32). Human failure in spite of God’s promise and goodness, that is the history of man under law. Now, however, we turn to the new covenant of grace. n. The New Covenant (w. 33-37). Jeremiah looked forward to the day when there was to be a cov enant that is 1. Personal (v. 33). The reference here is not to a law written in a book, which may be neglected or forgotten, or broken because there is no power in man to keep it. This new law is to be written in the hearts of men. It is personal—not something which he shares as a member of a great nation. 2. Universal (v. 34). From the least to the greatest, every man shall know God. That promise awaits its future complete fulfill ment to Israel (and remember that God has not forgotten His people). Even now, however, we have the spiritual fulfillment of the promise in the Church. It is true now that, regardless of nationality, education, wealth, or position, the grace of God is made manifest in the hearts of men and women everywhere. 3. Assured by God (w. 35-37). The old covenant of law failed, for it hinged upon the faithfulness of undependable man—“If ye will” (Exod. 19:5). But the new covenant of grace rests upon the “I will” of God (v. 34; see also Heb. 8:10-12). This is indeed “a better covenant, which was established upon better promises” (Heb. 8:6). It is an “everlasting covenant” (Heb. 13:20), Be Satisfied I say to thee, be thou satisfied. It is recorded of the hares that with a general consent they went to drown themselves, out of a feeling of their misery; but when they saw a company of frogs more fearful than they were, they began to take courage and comfort again. Com pare thine estate with others.—Rob ert Burton. Doing Good Secretly When others do you a favor speak of it. When you do your neighbor, a kindness, let him find it out; then you will find a lot of satisfaction in the fact that you have been decent. —Van Amburgh.
