She had made 11 pictures in succession, and for a while was working in three at one time. She was getting so thin and jittery that the studio was afraid she might fall to pieces on the set.

And she still wasn't, gaining 'any weight. 1 Last spring there was a hopeful interval in which she and Desi bought a four-acre country place and started to settle down. Just then, though, Ball went to a hospital for awhile, and next, she began doing radio work and traveling around entertaining at Army camps.

I remember, men sat on a hillside like in the Hollywood Bowl except that they were on the ground from 2 o'clock until 7.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1941.

WHAT AN ARMY NEEDS Germany has had millions of men under arms for five years and more; for the past two years they have been actually in the field. A couple of million of them are in conquered countries holding down the population; at least a million more are actively campaigning in Russia and North Africa, far from home. What does it mean to supply a horde like that with bare necessities of things to eat and things to wear? Here is a hint, based on estimates made by General Mills of a few things that will be used up each year by 1,400,000 men in the Army and Navy of the United States: Cigarets 530,154,324 packages Cigars 69,600,000 Smoking tobacco 20,917,700 cans Pipes 2,196,457 Toothbrushes 9,734,244 Toilet soap 44,822,400 bars Shaving cream 6,670,000 tubes Soft drinks 51,526,735 bottles Razor blades 9,894,800 packages That will give you an idea. The German army, of course, is five or six times as large as our own. These soldiers are able-bodied men, normally producers, but not one of them is producing anything.

Under normal, civilian economy, they would be producing these same things which they consume. But under a war economy they consume them, but somebody else has to do the producing. With figures like that in mind, it is easy to see why Germany has immediately stolen every eatable and usable thing her soldiers could get their hands on in every conquered country; why captives must work in Germany, and why labor must be imported under pressure from satrapies like Italy, Vichy Hungary, and all the others. The answer: Germany has just cut clothing rations by 35 per cent, so that the army may be clothed Italy cuts bread rations. Too many producers shooting each other, not enough producers producing.

It is the sheerest madness, andhe who started it all must be conceded "the chief madman. A few weeks ago RKO called in Miss have no utilitarian purpose but do have a very persuasive eye appeal.

FORGOTTEN BOOKS AND VICTORY Down in that far corner of the world that lies between India and the Mediterranean, between the Caspian and Arabian Seas, the winning of World War II may be at stake.

Most Americans know next to nothing of these lands, which were the' cradles of civilized man. Now they may be his bier. But in Britain they know about these far places. Stuffed away on the shelves of the stuffier London clubs are the forgotten books written by travelers of this restless race: "Six Months With the Djhigur of Brandee" or "Tenting in Tabriz With the Sheik Hadji Dinar." We laughed at those ponderous travel books when they penetrated to America. But now it is shown that perhaps they were not so vain; their writers were exploring the odd corners of the world in which World War II may now go to a decision.

The better ones, like Doughty and Lawrence and Bell, amassed knowledge now being translated by the British army into terms of power, perhaps into ultimate victory.

Yet who shall say it is a small victory when Argentina, Brazil, the United States, and other American nations peacefully persuade Ecuador and Peru to conclude an armistice in their border war, each withdrawing troops from the disputed area pending negotiations for more permanent settlement? In any time, such an achievement is not negligible. In times like these, such a victory for peace, small though it is in the face of terrible World War II, is perhaps even greater than it would be in normal times.
