WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1947 Germany-Can-Make-It Exhibition Is Now In Progress At Munich Down amid the ruined palaces of Munich there is a "Germany Can Make It" Exhibition in progress. And much of what Germany ean make today has to be made with bar bare hands. . e is plenty of Oberammer- gau's carved wood on show at Mu- nich, and plenty of leather and iron and glass and pottery from oh J ntly plenty of 'There are apparently plen anall factories still working. Fand the interesting thing about it for us is that it is all for export. Delicate Questions It raises some delicate economic questions, Germany wants to ex- Jost all these things to pay for the which we are sending her. Britain wants, and needs, a great many of these things, and it seems that Germany can make them for us At the same time it is plain that in many cases Germany can make it rather better than Britain can make it. What about competition in the world markets later on? The china and porcelain at Munich is magnificent, So is some of the glass. The precision instruments, such as cameras, are practically miraculous, The leather goods and luggage are temptingly rich ana i all ost, interest y , the m n - ing of all are the prefabricated houses. There are half a dozen or more models on show, almost all of them with a homey, cosy charm about them that the British pre- fabs noticeably lack. 'Export to Britain And there is the -question of raw might ev power and the necessary machin- bery are all here. Almost Disquieting The exhibition is, in fact, a very impressive one--almost disquieting. If Germany goes on like this and works hard with an artificially de- of living she wil able to undersell half the world. Down here in the south, despite all the ruin and misery and semi- starvation and homelessness and hopelessness, life is stirring. The misery and all the rest of it still undeniably remain, and these seeds of life may never get anywhere, but they are stirring. Whether you ap- prove of it or not, the fact is worth T Britain, except, perhaps, hy There is infinitely less of the numb, dead feeling which you find in Frankfort and Hanover and many other big German cities. D esigners Busy The factories which can work are working. Some of the factories ex- hibiting at Munich are still threatened,with demolition as working at about 44 per cent. of its 1936 potential. Everywhere the de- signers and experimenters are busy. There is great potential competi- tion for us here. Of course, the They cost from $800 to $2,400 and | only sane way to meet it is to beat Germany can make them to export to us. There are difficulties, of course. This exhibition--and the &imilar excellent one at Stuttgart--are an Amderican initiative. Even American business-men are allowed to spend it at its own game--produce even better quality for the money, But meantime they are waiting here to produce things which are badly needed in British homes. In the gaily painted houses of this Christmas-card village they only a fortnight in the zone, which | are going to spend the winter chis- is not a long time to look around and do business. British represen- elling away at breadboards which might end up on British breakfast tatives would very likely fare worse ! tables. "Nannie B" Crad led Princesses And Scores of Nobility, Dies The woman whose arms first vradled Princess Elizabeth, Princess Margaret Rose, and scores of Brit- nin's titled heirs and heiresses has died in London at the age of 8l. She was Mrs. Annie Beevers, known to the Royal Family and her other patrons as "Nannie B." Mrs. Beevers helped to bring more than 400 of the young nobility into the world. She hated the limelight and publicity. "My nursing and my patients' affairs are a private mat- ter," she would say. Six feet tall, with softly waved grey hair and friendly blue eyes, she lived for her profession and the children and mothers she nursed. Proud Record ' It was her proud record that dur ing more than half a century's nursing not one of "her" babies di ed. And the patients she =wursed so faithfully knew the depths of her care and devotion. "Hold my hand, Nannie 'B' and it will be all right," they would say. They never forgot her . Several of the babies became her god-chil- dren, At the wedding last May of Prin- cess Elizabeth's Lady-in-Waiting, the Hon. Mrs. Vicary Gibbs, to the Hon. Andrew Elphinstone, nephew of the Queen, Nannie "B" found that she had nursed the bride- groom, all the bridesmaids--Prin- cess Elizabeth, Miss Susan Wills, Miss Miranda Woodrooffe, and the Hon. Margaret Elphinstone--and many of the guests, Early Tragedy Yet the career of Britain's most remarkable maternity nurse began in tragedy. Left a widow with one small son more than 50 years ago, she trained as a midwife at the London Hos- pital. She took up private nursing and was soon in great demand by fam- ilies throughout the country, By World War I she was so cele- brated that special arrangements h were made by the Government to send her to Italy to nurse a prin- cess. But she was unhappy away from Britain. She returned, declared: "I am never going away again"--and kept her vow. Anxious Crowds Early in 1926 Nannie "B" went to the Bruton-street house of the Earl ¢f Strathmore, and on April 21 of that year anxious crowds waiting in the street below received the news of the birth of a daughter, Elizabeth, to the Duchess of York. Nannie "B's" arms that day un- knowingly cradled the future ruler of the British Empire. She was the only woman attend- ing at the birth. On August 21, 1930, at Glamis Castle, Nannie "B" was again the only woman in attendance--at the birth of the Duchess of York's sec- ond daughter, Margaret Rose. On Coronation Day she was with the Princesses at Buckingham Pale ace, They proudly showed their trains and robes to her after they were dressed. Later a Palace window was spec- ially reserved for her to watch the celebrations. Queen Elizabeth visited her seve eral times at the neat little house in Whitehorse-lane, South Nor- wood, S.E. The last visit was only a few months ago., Try a classified advertisement for quick results- Bachelor Cop Minds Tot, Snarls Traffic Memphis, Tenn., Jan, 20 (AP)--A bachelor traffic cop played nurse- maid to a baby left in a locked au- tomobile Saturday while hundreds of downtown shoppers watched in delight. An hour and a half after they were observed locking the parked car, a young man and woman re- appeared, registered surprise at the excitement, and drove away. The baby had been tossing on the car seat for half an hour when a passer-by reported the matter to the cop on the corner, officer D. E. O'Connor. : 'The big policeman warily sized up the situation, effected an entrance to the car with borrowed keys and settled down to entertain the year- old infant. Traffic took care of itself, with decreasing success, as crowds gath- er around the car. Officer O'Con- nor rattled keys and made funny noises at the cooing baby. Suddenly an 'emergency arose which was beyond a bachelor's ex- perience. Officer O'Connor depu- tized a young woman who perform- ed her mission promptly. A police sergeant and two other cops arrived, glanced at their col- league with clinical interest, and had the traffic unsnarled for him by the time he was ready to shift back from babies to automobiles. Prefer Nylons To Silk Hose ---- New York, Jan. 21--(AP)--Silk stockings, which started out bravely last May at $3.50 a pair in their first postwar appearance in the Un- ited States, have dropped to as little as $1 a pair in some stores ere "You can sell silk stockings at $1 a pair, but you certainly can't get much more than that for them to- day," said one retailer, Silk hose sold at around $3 a pair without much trouble during the acute shortage. But when nylons came along at $1.35 up under OPA, the J ladies decided to hold out for From that point on silk hosi prices decimed. Retailers Faso A them down and manufacturers fol- lowed suit, "Almost every one has taken a beating on silk hosiery--retailers and manufacturers," one industry spokesman said. Half the people you know are rushing to coral strands and t'other half to icy mountains, and more Toke are leaving valuables in taxi- cabs than in any other Jan since 1929. ay -NOTHINR BEATS THE SURE, QUICK, 5-WAY ACTION OF Sparkle Tooth Paste Cleanses, Whitens and Brightens the Teeth BRISTLED HAIR BRUSHES Provides a Real Scalp Massage Excellent Barber Brush DIANE HAIR NETS IPR RRN \ SAAN] [ 4H fh 9 m go (Y] /, <a Net' ?, Rat - PAROL-AGAR Paraffin Oil for Aid in Constipation 63: TAMBLYN COLD REMEDY For Cold in Head and \ Hay Fever 23¢ 43¢ WIN-SUM | LOTION for Chapped Hands } and Rough Skin ap SHAMPOO Leaves the Hair Soft and Lovely LEMON OIL POLISH For All Furniture Cleans Rugs iid] Carpets sm] Upholstery and COD LIVER oiL 48.

How can I make them grow?" It's pretty difficult to make 2 hairs grow where only one grew.

It will thicken the eye- brow line and make your eyes more attractive. x x ¥ "Mr. Or Master: My nephew fis 16 years old this month, Should 1 address his birthday ecard to Master or Mr.?"
