...across Naziland to Berlin, northeast to Bergen and Stavanger. Airports, munition dumps and-most ominous-concentrations of barges along the Lowland and French coasts, were targets attacked even in foul weather.* At all costs Britain must interrupt Germany's preparations, play for time. The Royal Navy's success in scotching France's sea power before the Axis could get it was a national bracer. For even if she stood off Blitzkrieg, Britain already faced Blockade. With customary exaggeration, the German High Command last week claimed that, since obtaining Channel and Atlantic bases, their inroads by U-boat...
Chlorophyll's most spectacular success was in the relief of sinus infections and common colds. In more than 1,000 cases treated at Temple University Hospital by Drs. Robert Ferguson Ridpath and Thomas Carroll Davis, there was "not a single case recorded in which either improvement or cure . . . [did] not take place."

In September, to help the Fair pay its bills, bondholders had to sacrifice their 40% lien on the gate receipts. During 1939, the bonds dropped from...
...onetime photographer's model who still acts as though he were afraid of scaring the birdie. He behaves more timidly than usual when Cinemactress de Havilland scowls at him over the bridge of her fiddle. Piqued at her assignments on her return to Warners from her success as Melanie in Gone With the Wind, Miss de Havilland flounced out of the studio. Brought flouncing back by suspension (the big stick with which the Warner Brothers have subdued Bette Davis, Priscilla Lane, James Cagney, Ann Sheridan), spunky Miss de Havilland kept the Brothers and her fellow players guessing about...
