Beautiful views of Alas kan scenery and Eskimo life were pictured and explained Probably Ihe most Interesting part of the film was the show, ing of the life of a salmon from Ihe time of its birth far in the in- Frenchman KyvH Food IleflVieney On Human Ileal. Ii VICHY. French. March 17 P) Dr. Alexis Carrel, French sclcn list and Nobel prise winner, ar rived in unoccupied France Sat urday to begin research for what he said may be "one of the most important reports ever written" about the effect of food deficien cies on human health. Carrell said he expected to remain In France about 40 days and then return to Spain to pur sue his survey there. The doctor's first act on. ar riving In France, after leaving New York February 1, was to send a "family card" to his wife in the occupied French zone. Carrel's home is on an Island off the Brittany coast, where he was a neighbor of his re search assistant, Col. Charles A Lindbergh. 'There are different kinds of starvation," Or. Carrell said "and each region may be ex pectcd to show different results and different needs. To supply these needs, he- declared, it would be cheaper to send actual food than vitamins or medical substitutes. NO LUSTRE HOLLYWOOD, March 17 m The home town fans still haven't much to get excited about In the 1941 edition of Hollywood's Stars.

March 17 German submarines waylaid the great grim convoy with which I recently crossed the north At lantic and sank at least four of the ships so vital to Britain's war effort. The "bag" may have been six. Two ships were listed badly after being bit by torpedos, how ever, still able to make way. More than 200 of the gallant seamen who are playing such an important part in maintain ing Britain a pulse beat were aboard the four boats known to have gone down. It was not possible to know how many survived It is the rule of convoys that ships which escape in attacks must plow on. To stop would be to become a sitting bird. The ship in which I crossed hurried away from the battle scene. Both attacks came in the blackness found only at sea. One was at five in the morning, the other at midnight. Both those periods were filled with an anxiety that seems like a nightmare, now that solid ground is under foot. Passengers stood by lifeboat stations, scarce ly able to see even each other in the darkness, not knowing when a torpedo might tear the ship from under their feet In a blind ing flash. Nineteen hours separated tha attacks. If the submarines which launched the first blow survived the deadly depth charges which were hurled from the decks of our naval escorts It seemed they would signal to a German bomb er base the position of our con voy. The fact that sky-raiders did not come may have indicated the depth charges which rum bled across the sea like thunder found their mark. The craft known to have gone under the numbing wintry waves included the largest of the nearly two score ships which made up the convoy. It was a massive whaler - factory craft with the lines of an outsized bath tub. It took two torpedoes to wound it mortally. The other certain losses were to freighters and an oil tanker. LOS ANGELES, UP) Tha Chicago Cube are waiting for Lou (Mad Russian) Novikoff to show some of the hitting he was expected to bring to tha club.

Although Benjamin Franklin is credited with numerous in ventions, he never applied for patent on any of them. . THtSPMTOF T- '-jet w.

By ITS VTKY NATtnjtE, Life Insurance Is an scutc, continuing force a living jorc to the homes of millions who share its benefits. Last year Metropolitan visited many homes in times of family crisis, for s total of over $182,000,-x 000 was paid on account of death claims to scores of thousands of beneficiaries of Metropolitan pol icyholders. Dividends, matured endowments, annuity payments, disability, and health and acci dent claims, and other benefits paid or credited to living policyholders during the year amounted to more than $426,000,000. The total of slmost (609,000,000 for payments to policyholders snd beneficiaries is a record high for the Company. Metropolitan funds, invested foe the benefit of its policyholders, continued to play a part in the economic structure of the nation. These funds aided in financing Government activities, helped to keep industry humming and met ia jobs, to erect public and private buildings, and assisted fanners to own their farms and to keep them ia proper repair. However, the-low interest rates generally prevailing, continued to have their effect on the Company's earnings and amsequently oa dividends to policyholders. Moreover, through its Welfare activities, its nnrriog service for eligible policyholders. Its re search, its health and safety literature and adver tising. Metropolitan again contributed to the task of bringing better health to America. The death rate of Metropolitan policyholders as a whole con tinued to be low, and mortality among Industrial policyholders was approximately the same as the 1939 figure, a record low for this group. - Metropolitan is a mutual life insurance com pany. This means that the assets of the Company . are held for policyholders and their beneficiaries. The value of these assets will ultimately be paid out for their benefit . . . and for them only.
