"This ahould not be considered T, WASHINGTON, July 7iI1 A sign of Improvement in Britain's shipping situation wns seen here today In a British notice to the department of ogrlculturo that it expects to tnko nt 'least 20,000 bales of cotton a month under tho lcnd-lenso act. For months Britain, cramped for shipping space, hus not bought cotton In this country l and has restricted agricultural ' purchases to highly concentrated goods such as evaporated milk, chceso and dried eggs. Her an nouncement this week that she was prepared to take n minimum of 20,000 bales of cotton month ly come as n surprise to agri cultural officials who had given up hope ot disposing of any of the American staple soon to the united kingdom. The current market value of 20,000 bales is about $1,1150,000. Britain's ability to transport that umomit ot cotton, observers said, could result only from ship ping aid extended by the United States, They called attention par ticularly to tho 2,000,000-ton shipping pool being assembled hero to aid Great Britain und her allies. President Roosevelt, in direct ing creation of tho shipping pool, said It should bo used only to transport materials needed tor ktho national defense and aid-to- 'Britain program.

THORNTON NEA Sorvlco Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Cullf., July 7 Tho throne of tho mighty Chap lin has been challenged muny times without success but now from south of tho border comes tho genlul thunder of a nation's laughter und the news that "the world's favorite comedian" bus hud to take second place In the hearts and boxoffices of Mex ico. Mexican exhibitors rubbed their eyes, then raked in the pesos recently when "Ni Sangre, Nl Arena" ("Neither Blood Nor Snud"), the second full-length film starring Cantinflas, topped the receipts of "The Great Die tutor" and blew tho record es tablished by "Gone With the Wind" almost back to Atlanta. Not even the success of Can tinflas first feature, "Ahl es el Detalle!" ("There Is the De tail"), a phrase which Is his Identification, nor the comedi an's long popularity in Mexico City's theatres, had prepared them for such cataclysmic tri umph. Cautinflns' background is not fully known, lie came up from the "barrios," the outlying met ropolitan districts, where tent allows and open air vaudeville ore part and parcel of tho peo ple's entertainment. Ono rumor has it that ha was discovered by two American newspaper men. Another claims that he was Introduced to the public by die manager of a popular music hall. Still another tale calls him a protege of Roberto Soto, himself a great Mexican com ic artist. It would seem, however, that the true discoverers of Cantin flas were the Mexican people and. after them, the audiences of Central America and Cuba. They found him, they wanted him lots of him, and they got him. At the same time that "Ahl es el Delalle" was playing to packed house In the cinemas of Mexico City and the prov inces, Cantinflas In person was nightly cramming them in like sardines at Folies Bergeres, the capital's largest music hall. The public came again and again to watch their Idol. They stamped their feet and whistled for en cores: they stayed through a second show, a third. As the children of the world once imitated Chaplin's slow-1 footed strut, so tho children of Mexico imitate tho- slouching gait and quizzical shoulders of Cantinflas. On Clnco de Mayo, one of the capital's main- thoro- fures, there Is a young bootblack who dresses and grimaces like Cantinflas to stlmulutc business. In tho burrios from which he emerged, a popular song is sung about him, and lesser comedians ope his costume and technique, In the smart hotels and the cheap cantlnas people laugh over and repeat his none too delicate lampooning of public figures. IN HOLLYWOOD "TO LOOK AROUND" In make-up Cantinflas rciem bles a scholarly monkey. His small, wistful brown face Is painted dead white around the mouth, his eyes are emphasized. His costume is elementary: skin. tight jersey, gravity-defying trousers, and around his neck a rugged scarf that terminates in tiny tatters, like the tail of a kite. In this garb he is "Cha to," the immortal street-Arab. His excellent and subtle pan tonine immediately brings Chaplin to mind, but in appear once and gesture he is more akin to Jimmy Suvo. When his triumphant stare rests upon his aggressors, it is possible to re call some of the quieter mo. ments of Master Ilarpo Marx. But these resemblances are only superficial. Uninfluenced by anyone arc his grave Insouci. once, the shattering candor, the Inexpressibly graceful and com ic genius of his timing which makes every word and gesture hilarious and faintly sad. Like alt great comedians he is. even at his most slapstick, close to pathos. On the wave ot his great suc cess his managers have sent him to Hollywood to "look around and see how things are Hone." While he is here "Nl Sangre, Ni Arena" will be re leased in the southwest, and, it Is to be hoped. In the rest of the United States. Road tha Claiiliiad Pago.

Blonde Tresses Needed for Work in National Defense By LOUIS J. SCHAEFLE United Proas Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 5 (UP) It seems that Adolf Hitler has a corner on the blondes of Europe and this fact has caused the U. S. war department to in vite American girls with golden tresses and a sense of patriotism to step forward in the Interests of national defense. . The army is eager to pay promptly and well but it will not quote prices for blonde, fe male hair which must be of soft texture and of the highest qual ity. It is a strategic material us ed in meteorological work. The army is completely uninterested in male hirsute adornments whether they be blond, brun ette or otherwise. Blonde hair, scientists discov ered, expands and contracts ac cording to various conditions of heat and cold better than any substitute researchers have been able to devise. The army, navy and' weather bureau use the silky strands in airplanes which are sent aloft early In the morning. Because ot the emergency it is more im portant than ever that the American weather reporting ser vice be kept at par. Until two months ago the hair used in the delicate recording In struments was imported from Europe. It seemed that a lush growth of particularly good blondo hair came from the Bal kans. American girls could furnish plenty of blonde hair, army offi cials said, but the practice of bobbing brings up a complica tion. To be useable the hair mast be at least 12 inches long. Some army experts are con fident that American girls, par ticularly those from Minnesota, the Dakota and other states with large Scandinavian popula tions, will supply more than enough hair to fill the need. They were cheered by reports of scouts that some farm girls, especially those of Scandinavian descent, never have gotten around to barber shops and beauty parlors. . Already the war department has one volunteer. She is 16-year-old Doris Jahncke, Durbln, N. D. She wrote enclosing a sample of her hair tied with a red, white and blue ribbon. Miss Jahncke stated that her hair Is 30 inches long and ahe la pretty proud of It and la prouder yet to contribute to national defense. The army accepted tha offer ing and Miss Jahncke'a hair now is being tested in laboratories. APRICOTS Those famous Dalle Mora tarfce and Lawte varieties, (or canning.
