Solomon Islands Lost
Nearly Two Centuries!
With the Solomon Islands, 500
miles east of New uinea, now
prominent in the newt it is hard
to believe that after their discov
ery in 1567 this archipelago, which
includes 10 large islands and hun
dreds of smaller ones, totalling
17,000 square miles and stretching
for 900 miles, was completely lost
for 200 years. Later navigators
looked for them in vain. They be
came a joke among sailors, and—
incredible though it may seem—
they were struck off the map!
Not until 1767 were the: redis
covered by Captain Carteret, an
Englishman, who came upon them
by accident.

Nature designed the kidneys to do •
marvelous job. Their task is to keep the
flowing blood stream free of an excess of
toxic impurities. The act-of living—It/s
itself—is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys must remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function aa
Nature intended, there is retention of
waste that may cause body-wide dis

persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—feel tired, nervous, all

, ^ , EW YORK.—The biggest tenth

is being raised by Chester M. Colby
wno knows as wed as Morgenthau

That Colb^ll Top roll in.
Red Cross Quota n; \ tion -
wide drive
for $125,000,000 is now on in full
swing and the Colby assignment
is to find just a nip under $13,000,000
in New York city for Americans on
all the fighting fronts.
Thirteen makes a lot of mil
lions, and more when they buy
blood plasma, not to count lesser
benefits, but Mr. Colby goes aft
er them without blinking. Over
20-odd years in an ascending
spiral that finally reached the
chairmanship of the board of
General Foods corporation, he
has learned to deal easily with
even millions.
They may fill his day, but come
evening they have small chance
against Lincolniana or, for lighter
hours, a crossword puzzle.
Just the same he will probably
work day and night for the Red
Cross since the money is all for
the army and navy, and tradition
joins the Colby family with both
Services.
Mr. Colby, 65 now and hand
somely gray, was a major in
that littler World war although,
oddly, he was born at the Naval
Academy and was practically
' raised on sea water. His father
was Rear Admiral Chester M.
t Colby and his son, third to bear
the name, is in the Naval Air
service.
Fresh out of the army, Mr. Colby
was mulling over three proffered
jobs when a fortune teller said that
she saw him at the head of a big
food concern. He joined the old
Postum Cereal company shortly,
and deftly pyramided that into Gen
eral Foods.

If this happens, another professor,
bony C. K. Leith, may get chief
praise, or blame. He comes up now
to take the Penrose Medal for ’'emi
nent research in pure geology,” but
he has been broadcasting the polit
ical virtue of his subject for a quar
ter of a century.
As far back as 1919 at Paris
he was advisor to the American
Commission to Negotiate Peace,
and every word he let fall mast
have packed political dynamite.
Next he said, and probably
wishes he hadn’t, that lack of
ore for steel permanently re
moved Japan as a world war
menace. Later he warned, more
wisely, that world peace was
sadly endangered by prohibi
tions against the free search for
minerals. These days, as advi
sor to the administration in
Washington, he insists that by
controlling the world’s minerals
the democracies can control the
peace.
The professor is 67 years old. His
face in repose is severe, but his full
lips meet lightly as lips do that
smile easily. Borq in Wisconsin, he
was graduated from the state uni
versity and has taught there for 40
years. His wife and 2 sons com

nia is about to pass her thousand-
year-old trident across the Atlantic”
is only the last of a long series of
warn ngs. As he sees it surely, the
United States will be stronger all
around, in men-of-war, in ships, in
airplanes.
Sir Archibald is 73 years old
now. He added the knighthood
15 years ago, but even before
that other naval experts were
quiet when he wished to speak.
The son of a modest solicitor,
he wrote himself into such fame
that admirals of the sea did not
snub him. His books fill a big
shelf, and cover an unrationed
range of subjects as wide as the
Atlantic itself.
His most vigorous pieces, howev
er, have contemplated the future of
British sea power and have not been
happy about it.
He always had qualms, but his
first major alarm was raised just
after the 1914-17 or sample World
war. He was sure then that the
U. S. Shipping board was out to
cripple the British merchant ma
rine. While the fighting still raged
he had called upon the United States
for men and material to replace
British bottoms sunk by German
submarines, and presumably some
replacement had been made.
BURMA
By Daniel De Luce
(WNU Feature—Through special arranremant
with Collier's Weekly)
Greatest reservoir of fighting man-
power to whip the Japanese lies in
free, unoccupied China. For five
years the Chinese soldier has
proved himself every bit as coura
geous and clever as his Japanese
enemy. He has hung on in the face
of discouraging odds, lacking mod
ern weapons and an air force.
Anglo - American arsenals
should eventually be able to fur
nish him with these new arms
and give him the support of m
combined armada of airplanes.
However, “the day” is indefinite.
In 1943? Perhaps longer. There is
a lot of spade work to be done, for
a great Allied offensive on the Asi
atic continent.
It is required chiefly in Burma.
And it is being planned right now
by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek,
General Wavell and General Stil-
Vell.
Allies Need Burma.
: The transfer of a thousand bomb
ers and a thousand fighting planes
from America to China could be
made in seven days. But once hav
ing got the air fleet to China, the
Allies would be little better off than
before, unless they had Burma.
For the air force would need fuel—
not a few thousand gallons flown
laboriously over the Himalayas, but
many thousand tons.
And where is the oil for the
future planes of China? In Bur
ma. “Oh,” yon say, “weren’t
the Burma fields scorched by
the British? Or was that just
another newspaper story?”
Yes, the Burma fields were
scorched, thoroughly scorched. At
the moment. they’re useless. But
listen to the man who did the scorch
ing.
“If the Japanese brought in 15,000
specialists and 50,000 tons of equip
ment and machinery, they could get
Burma producing again within a few
months. But they have neither the
specialists nor the equipment. We
have both. We can soon have the
wells flowing—if and when we re
capture Burma.”
Scorching of Burma.
For the stpry of the scorching ot
Burma, let’s begin looking into a
little red cloth-covered notebook
which this itinerant war correspond
ent bought in Mandalay for ten an
nas, before the ships were bombed
and burned down on Good Friday
last year. I had it in a sweaty pock
et of my khaki shirt when I jeeped
through Yenang-tuang, oil capital of
Burma, on Thursday, April 16, 1942.
Yenang-taung in Burmese, means
“stream of the smelly waters.”
Some centuries ago, silk-skirted na
tives scooped up the pungent black
liquid and burned it in crude lamps
at home.
Came the white man. In the
last 60 years thousands of der
ricks sprang np on the drab hills.
Burma oil, a million tons every
12 months, began lighting many
a lamp in greater Asia.
Then came the Jap. He was about
30 miles south of the oil capital and
pressing hard last April when I
walked into the main oil-field head
quarters and met a lean, hard,
eagle-nosed English civilian load
ing his .38 army revolver.
He was Walter L. Forster of the
Shell Oil company at Cairo. He had,
supervised the demolition of the
Rangoon refineries the previous
month, then calmly departed and
was now in central Burma to finish
similar assignments here.
At work or play, Forster likes
dynamite. Knowing his specialty,
the British government had sent him
late in 1941 to Russia, to advise the
Soviet engineers in their program
of scorching the earth. He quickly
decided that the Russians knew
more than he did, but he stayed to
learn their methods, and visited
secret areas of the Caucasus.
He remarked afterwards that the
Reds had carried out factory wreck
ings in one day that Anglo-American
experts had forecast might take six
months.
“But I wish the Russians could
have seen our job at Rangoon,” he
mused. “Smoke up to 15,000 feet.
Vapor up to 19,000 feet. Not a drop
of oil left for the Japs, nor a piece
of workable machinery.”
After Rangoon was gone, Forster
tackled the pipe line which had run
more than 300 miles down-country
from the Burma oil fields. He
plugged the pipe with cement at riv
er crossings, smashed the section
pumps, wrecked bridges. Then he
turned to the oil fields.
The last job, he said, was blowing
up the big powerhouse.
“I’ve got 6,300 gallons of oil in
drums stored above the transform
ers.” he said. “Got oil piped in here
to the main room, too. And the jets
will turn on after the explosion. Nice
fire we’re cooking upl”

always shoot Susan Hayward
in technicolor; her red hair
and reddish-brown eyes that
almost match it are something
to look at! Visiting in New

Dick Keith, the “Bright Horizon”
actor was so well liked by the fans
of another radio serial that letters
piled in demanding that he marry
the heroine. That was impossible,
since he played a character so
wealthy that, if the heroine mar

and there’d be no more serial. The
problem was solved by killing him
off at the wedding ceremony.
