He said in Paris before leaving for Nome:
"Putting foreign words ira the mouth of Fairy Snow White and in the mouths of the dwarfs is a very tricky business,
"Very often it means having to after the script, because what is funny in England or the United States is often not funny in other countries.
"I have just finished arrangements for making the French version. Trouble No. 1 for my assistants in translating Snow White's name. It French we are calling her Blanche Niege, but why not Netge Blanche? Well, there is the problem.

"It would spoil the picture for the audience if they kept on thinking, for instance, that Snow White's voice wns that of Greta Garbo."

BY CUTTING HER SCRAP EXPORTS
Washington.
Having almost quadrupled its exports of scrap metals in the last year, as compared to official figures for 1936, the United States, according to expert authority, is now in a position to cripple, at least temporarily, the steel production of such nations as Italy and Japan, which are dependent upon the import of scrap, obtained principally from the United States,
"This may be illustrated by citing figures for Japan." E. W. Pehrson. assistant chief of the metals economie division, U.S. Bureau of Mines, told the United Press. "In 1937 Japun produced roughly 5,500,000 tons of Acel. In the manufacture of this tonnage, over 2,000,000 tons of scrap were used, of which the United States supplied 1,900,000 tons. Thus one third of the raw material used in 1937 was In Japan's steel Industry derived from United States scrup. It ean readily be seen that sudden stoppage of this flow would adversely affect Japan's ability to produce
steel."

Mr. Pehrson also discussed the scrap altuation with respect to metals other than iron and steel. United States Bureau of Mines statistics, he said, show that from 1007 to 1930. approximately inclusive,
9,000,000 tons of copper, 5,000,000 tons of 3,500,000 tons of zinc, 635,000 land,
and 682,000 tons of tons of tin, aluminium have been reclaimed from
various cycles of use. Not all of this metal, of course, has passed through the waste metal trade, but n large part of the total can be ascribed to such efforts.
But I tho United States were suddenly to stop exporting scrap iron, Mr. Pehrson pointed out, the nations so affected would be forced to find other sources for the raw materials necessary in steel produc- tion. "It seems to me," he said. that an embargo on scrap exports

Pehrson's Independently of Mr. analysis, official figures compiled by the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestle Commerce show that an all-time annual record for scrap exports from the United States was established in 1937, when 4,005,804 tons were shipped valued at $79,570,- 542. In 1938, 1,930,132 tons were exported at a value of $24,681,034.

You will find there is nothing like Kolynos that acts so quickly and safely to make dull stained teeth white and brilliant. Its surging, invigorating foam reaches every pit and crevice. It removes ugly stains and destroys dangerous mouth germs that cause tooth decay.
Try Kolynos-its clean, cool taste is de- lightfully refreshing. It is most econom- ical too-because you use only half as much as ordinary toothpastes. Ono-half inch on a dry brush is enough.
