ISTANBUL. — Istanbul is the
best liberty port the U. S. navy
eyer dropped anchor in, according
out of five officers and men
of the aircraft carrier Tarawa and
escort vessels which visited here.
The American fleet, under com-
mand of Adm. Richard L. Con-
oily, was on the tail end of a five
months’ cruise which hadi taken it
to ports all over the Pacific, the
Far and Near East.
The men unhesitantly ranked
Istanbul over Athens, Hong Kong
and even Honolulu. Some went so
far as to say it is friendlier than
some American ports.
Police Get Credit
Much credit must go to Turkish
police officials, who bent over back-
ward to give the navy an “open-
armed welcome.”' Police had strict
orders to do “everything possible”
to help the Americans. If a sailor
asked for directions, he was not to
be directed but escorted to his des-
tination. Drunks or trouble-makers
were to be interfered with only as
a last resort, and then only turned
over to the shore patrol; never
arrested.
Special plainclothesmen were as-
j signed to watch taxicabs, restau-
I rants and shops to see that prices
were not hiked for the Yanks.
When taxis loaded with sailors
pulled up to a curb to unload, the
chances were an innocent-appear-
ing bystander would saunter up to
watch tlie pay-off.
If it was a penny too much the
driyer made acquaintance with the
innocent bystander’s identity—a po-
liceman. In cases of dispute, where
trying to gyp the caby, the by-
it appeared the Americans -were
stander would pay the bill, out of
a special fund alloted for this
purpose by the city.
Chose Best Busses
The city administration chose
their best busses, painted signs on
Ihem, ‘ ‘Reserved for U. S. Naval
Personnel,” and sent them to meet
all liberty boats to haul sailors to
points of interest free. In addition,
the Yanks were invited to ride all
regular busses and streetcars free.
More credit would have to go to
the Turkish “man on the street,
who, acording to the sailors . .
were so friendly we really felt like
we were welcome here, and not
looked on as intruders.” Scores of
officers and men were simply in-
vited in off the streets to coffee to
tea by Turkish families, in addition
to organized receptions and parties
by the dozen.
“American colony” women set up
a “USO” in the Union D’Francaise
club which accommodated more
than 500 enthusiastic sailors every
night. English-speaking Turkish
girls from near-by colleges and
schools, under supervision, came in
to dance. The navy said they had
never seen anything like it outside
the United States
Good Clean Pasture
Helps Poultry Men
Home Grown Feeds
Cut Operating Cost
Good clean pasture and plenty of
hotne grown feeds for your pullet
crop pays dividends in more eggs,
lower production costs and bigger
poultry profits. The use of rang*
shelters, range feeders and barrel
waterers makes such a program
easily possible.
Missouri university tests show
that pullets on well-fertilized alfal-
fa pasture consumed 17 per cent
less feed than birds on bare range.
The pasture-fed pullets needed les*
feed for each pound of gain. Bird*
on clean pasture were healthier
and more energetic. Mortality rats
was lower and there were fewer
culls. Out of 100 pullets at four
yveeks of age, 94 of the alfalfa-
ranged birds later went into th«
laying house, compared to 70 of
those raised on bare ground. Pur-
due university tests showed that
ladino clover with corn and small
grains provided a complete ration
for laying flocks.
Getting good pasture and a cheap
and plentiful supply of grain is a
matter of putting farm soil in shape
to produce bigger yields per acre.
For this you need a rotation in
which deep-rooted legumes and
grasses are keystone. You need to
build up the organic matter supply
via plowed-under legumes, crop
residues and manure. You need to
feed the soil a good ration of plant
nutrients, so it, in turn, can feed
the crops'. In such a program, ferti-
lizer is an important member of
the soil-building team.
At current prices, eggs will buy
nearly twice as much fertilizer a*
10 years ago.-* It takes only 90 dozen
eggs to buy a ton of 3-12-12 ferti-
lizer today, whereas it took 178
dozen back in 1939.

New “Golden Drug” May
Be Cure for Measles
WASHINGTON. — Tentative evi-
dence that the “golden drug,”
aureomycin, may be effective
against measles was reported to-
day.
At present there is no specific
drug weapon against this virus
disease. Barring complications, it
runs a normal course and patients
recover' under normal nursing care.
Dr. Harry F. Dowling of George
Washington university, who de-
scribed the work with aureomycin,
emphasized that the nine cases
treated are too few to warrant any
claim that the drug is a cure. But
he said prior to addressing the Dis-
trict of Columbia medical ^society:
“The results were sufficiently en-
couraging to warrant our suggest-
ing that the drug, which is safe to
use, be given further trial."
Dowling said the apparent ef-
fect of the drug is to shorten the
fever stage of the disease. This is
the stage that begins prior to the
onset of a generalized rash—and it
is during this period that the pa-
tient is believed most susceptible
to complications.
In the cases treated with aureo-
mycin, fever began to fall in from
six .’ to 24 hours after the appear-
*nce of rash.

Famed Child Film Star
Weeps as Mother Weds
PALM BEACH, FLA.—Tears
streamed down the face of 12-year-
old movie-star Margaret O'Brien as
she watched her mother, Mrs.
Gladys O’Brien, marry orchestra-
leader Don Sylvia.
The real-lifi drama was almost
too much for the tiny screen play-
er.
Margaret stood quietly in her
mother’s hotel suite, her little
hands clenched and her eyes red
during the five-minute civil cere-
mony performed by Palm Beach
•ounty Judge Richard P. Robbins.
Afterward she refused to kiss her
new stepfather when photographer*
made the request. She wiped her
eyes and smiled briefly for group
pictures, like a good trouper, and
then began weeping again.
