America: One of tide depart
ment’s most efficient and valued
scouts dropped Into Henry Rocano’s
sporting goods store up at Danbury,
Coon., and in the course of a friend
ly conversation casually inquired if
he'd had any demand for rifles or
shotguns on the part of customers
who wished to be ready in case any
German parachute troops landed in
their vicinity. Rocano replied that
an aged and quite wealthy woman
, who lives in the neighborhood had
bought a rifle and a large supply of
ammunition because of the possibil
ity that Nazis might land in Connect
icut. He didn’t want to give her
name because it might embarrass
her but added that if any Nazis did
pick her property for a descent, they
would meet with a warm reception.
Somehow the vision of a grayheaded
woman on guard gives one a warm
and comforting feeling about Amer
ica.

Fame: Nineteen-year-old Carol
Bruce, who until the debut of the
new musical comedy hit, “Louisi
ana Purchase,” was merely another
struggling young singer, now finds
herself the center of attention of
velvet-voiced venders who besiege
her with wares and suggestions as
to how she should dress and make
up in a befitting manner for her
new importance. Here are some
samples of advice she has received
from those who would part her from
her money:
Don’t be prosaic. Try a panther
lap robe for afternoon motoring, a
laprobe of silver foxes for evening.
This is the season for whopping
big jewels. Six bracelets on a wrist,
a pin as big as a powder puff, an
emerald necklace with a clasp the
size of a doorknob.
For afternoon wear, one pink, one
blue glove.
And so on and on and on. r

Ethics: Now that golfers are out
in full force, a New Yorker who
spent several months in the Florida
winter belt recalled an incident at
one of the stylish clubs where the
caddies are all colored. While play
ing with his daughter one afternoon,
he knocked the' ball into the rough.
As he approached it, he noticed
that the caddy was teeing it up.
Somewhat sharply, he ordered him
not to do that as it was against the
rules. The caddy looked at him
amazed and replied, “WeU, mister,
I’ve been a caddy for this club two
or three years and some at the
members like to have their ball set
up and some don’t but mostly they
do.” And that, the New Yorker
holds, is a tip-off on honesty.

Advice: Sometime ago, in this
space a cure for tired feet was men
tioned. J. A. Baror of Harrisville,
Mich., holds that I should have ad
vised that when drying the feet, they
shouldn’t be sawed with the towel
but dried by standing on it else
there might be “needle corns”
which feel like a red-hot needle be
ing driven into the sole of the foot
As for "needle corns,” he says to
draw about three inches of cold wa
ter, not ice water, into the tub and
soak the feet for 20 minutes. Then
stand on die bath mat or towel. He
doesn’t know how long it takes for
a cure but declares that his method
finally brings results.

Panhandling: Noted a panhandler
at work. His clothes indicated that
he had slept in a park all night and
his step was unsteady. But seem
ingly he was a shrewd judge of hu
man nature as almost every man
he tackled, instead of shaking his
head, dug into his pocket. After
plying his trade vigorously for pos
sibly a half hour, the moocher
walked away rapidly and, screened
from the view of his customers,
counted his take. Evidently satis
fied, he lighted a cigar butt and
strode away rapidly in the general
direction of the nearest filling sta
tion.

End Piece: The other aftemooh
at a bridge club, a gentleman who
wished to open a fresh pack of dg*
arettes drew from his pocket s
small pair of scissors and carefully
cut the cellophane wrapper instead
of vainly scratching. He always
carried scissors, he evpiaineH and
that led May to remark that after
all, he might be a merchant tailor.

France Is Ninth
Nation to Fall
Succumbs to Might of Nasi
Army After 8 Others
Had Given Up.
WASHINGTON. — France is the
ninth nation to succumb to tha might
of Germany in little more than two
years.
The great Nazi offensive which
culminated in the surrender was
launched the day after the Germans
completed their mop-up of Flanders
with the capture of Dunkirk.
Nine days later Adolf Hitler's iron
legions marched into Paris and the
swastika banners were unfurled
over the Palace of Versailles. Within
another two days the Germans had
outflanked the famed Maginot line
and the French were forced to aban
don the $500,000,000 system of forti
fications in which they had placed
their supreme trust. The withdraw
al was the beginning of the end for
the armies of France.
The train of events which led up
to the outbreak of war last Septem
ber began on March 11, 1938, when
German troops marched into-Aus
tria without opposition.
In March, 1939, Hitler, defying
threats of British and French resist
ance, took over Czechoslovakia with
out firing a shot. On September 1,
1939, he ordered his armies into
Poland, again defying Britain and
France, who proclaimed a state of
war with Germany two days later.
The Germans required less than a
month to overrun Poland. Warsaw
fell on September 28 after a terrific
siege that reduced the city to ruins.
Invade Norway April 9.
On April 9, after a winter of com
parative inactivity, the Germans in
vaded Norway and Denmark, meet
ing no resistance in the latter coun
try. On May 10, they invaded tha
Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxem
burg. 4
Holland capitulated in four days,
and Belgium gave up the struggle 14
days later, on May 28, paving the
way for the final defeat of the allied
armies in Flanders and the pulveris
ing German march on Paris.
The rapidity with which the Nazi
blitzkrieg methods accomplished tha
downfall of France amazed military
experts, who before the war had
rated the French army as the best
in the world.
Most observers believe the French
made their gravest mistake in im
posing too great confidence in the de
fensive strength of the Maginot line
and in failing to adapt their strate
gy to the German methods of light
ning warfare.
The maximum strength of the
French army at the outset of the
war was estimated at 8,000,000 men,
including the air force. The latter
was acknowledged to be far inferior
numerically to the German air arm,
which generally was considered the
most powerful in the world.
89 Millions in Empire. "
France has an unestimated num
ber of troops under arms in the Near
East and in its African possessions.
Whether they will continue to fight
and what will become of French ter
ritories overseas is a matter of spec
ulation.
France itself has an area of 212,
659 square miles and a population of
42,000,000. Its colonial empire em
braces 4,613,315 square miles and
a population of 69,076,627.
These possessions include:
In Asia: Syria, French India, and
French Indo-China.
In Africa: Morocco, Algeria, Tu
nisia, French West Africa, Togo
land, Cameroon, French Equatorial
Africa, Reunion, Madagascar, Como
ros, and Somalliland.
In the Americas: St. Pierre and
Miquelon islands; Guadelupe, Mar
tinique and French Guiana.
In Oceania: New Caledonia and
Tahiti.
Find Most Powerful Germ
Killer in Garden Soil
' PHILADELPHIA.—You can go out
In your back yard and dig up mate
rial for the moat powerful germ*
killer known to science, according
to a Franklin institute micro-biolo
gist.
The new drug was described as a
gray, powdered substance derived
from harmless vegetable micro-or
ganisms found in the ordinary gar
den soil. But it can kill hosts of
virulent, disease-causing bacteria,
such as pneumococci, streptococci,
staphylococci and anthrax, Dr. J.
C. Hoogerheide, of the institute re
vealed.
Dr. Hoogerheide isolated the drug,
known only as HI, after three years’
work in the institute’s biochemical
research foundation.
Institute spokesmen stressed the
fact that HI has not been tried in
ternally on human patients pend
ing further research. One physi
cian reported, however, that he
used solutions of the new drug to
clear up infected wounds and treat
cases of gangrene. _
