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

to putting your hand on a dozen of

That’s why O. C. Stratton, Para

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

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.

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. Yvonne
Andersen, a Vogue school pupil, de-
Bill Phillips, of the Warner Broth
ers studio, reduced 27 young girls
to tears the other day, and got paid signs this utilitarian threesome of
for it. You’ve guessed why, of so ft y e t firm gabardine in a lovely

left) or tucked in and worn with a
narrow belt when a more tailored
appearance is desired. 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

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.
Some of the slack suits have cunning
little jackets to be worn with a sheer
blouse and they are smart enough
for informal dining or dropping in
on your neighbor for an evening of
bridge.

Dry Form of
Catarrh Cured
With Estrogen
By DR. 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.”

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

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.
