Thus he translates "Good Samaritan" as "good sport," "wise virgins" as "smart girls," "laying up a treasure" as "making a pile," "repent...
John Ford, the director of "The Informer" and specialist in fog effects, has made a rather exciting adventure story out of "Submarine Patrol," celluloid epic of the U-boat chasing "splinter fleet."

Dr. Dameshek urged State departments of health to jack...

He has been fascinated by caverns, abysses and underground rivers since, in his youth, he first avidly read Jules Verne's Voyage to the Centre of the Earth. He studied under the French archeologists Cartailhac and Bergouen, under Explorer-Geologist Edouard-Alfred Martel. When he was iS, the War broke out and he went to the trenches. The life of a soldier, he says, made him physically tough and inured him to hardship...
