Marcella was bom in Effingham, 111. When she was 3 her family moved to Cincinnati. Her father was a bricklayer and as he went from Job to job the family moved with him, traveling by automobile. The Glinzes left Cincinnati to go to Chicago. There, Marcella spent two years in a parochial school. Then came short stays in two towns in North Carolina and Vir ginia. For a while, the wanderers moved only from town to town with in the state of New York. As Marcella remembers it, she was graduated from grammar school in Buffalo. But there have ' been so many schools . . . it's hard to tell ... "I can remember more school yards than I can toys," she says. During her fresjiman and sopho more years in high school she was a student in Middletown, Ithaca, Am enia, Dover Plains and Buffalo. Now, in Cleveland, she hopes to stay 'long enough to get her high school diploma. She has more than a collection of textbooks to remind her of her travels. School friends are numbered by the score. "I get lots of mail," she says. "I guess it wasn't so bad."

It. ierley, famous rupturo expert ot Chicago, i Man in Trench Cited as Still Winning Wars Superiority Proof Shown in Spain and China, Expert Argues Airplane Is Useful. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UP) Col. Henry W. Miller, chief of American heavy artillery during the World war, finds proof in the Chinese and Spanish wars of his contention that bombers and tanks and other high priced instruments of modern war fare are largely a waste of money. Miller now is head of the Univer sity of Michigan department of me chanical and engineering drawing and is considered an authority on artillery. War in China and Spain has dem onstrated, he believes, that the com mon soldier with his rifle or machine gun still is the determining factor in winning battles. He points to China's surprising stand against Japan as proof that giant bombing planes, spectacular flame-throwers, motorized cavalry and artillery are useless against an entrenched force of infantry. "You may lay down a barrage of heavy artillery until it seems no liv ing thing could survive," Miller said, "yet the enemy will appear in force from the ground to meet your in fantry advance. Troop Bombing Ineffective "Bombing ground trocps trom the air is more costly, and even less effec tive. Bombers should be used only against cities, factories, rail centers, munition depots and concentration camps." Miller predicted that the "human factor" eventually 4 would decide the Sino-Japanese war. "I think that military men will agree." he said, "that the Chinese soldier in his padded coat, holding his trenches with machine gun and hand rifle, accustomed to the North China climate and to poor food and little of it, is in a better position tactically than is the Japanese. "If the denfending force can keep up a supply of food and small am munition, the result may surprise those who favor a program of me- chanization and motorization." Miller weighed the new instru ments of warfare against what he considers the four' factors essential to a successful army and concluded that they were virtually useless. The lour necessary aaliflcdtions are: 1. Ability to obtain and transmit intelligence. 2. Ability to deliver force, either by surprise or by impact. 3. Ability to hold gains. 4. Ability to service troops in the field. Not Enthusiastic Over Tanks Miller believes that, as rar as these essential functions of an army are concerned, such weapons as airplanes, giant guns, "wheeled fortress" tanks and bombing devices have little prac tical value. He conceded the airplane's exten sive usefulness in obtaining infor mation, but insisted that it's field should be limited. Both of the wars now in progress, Miller believes, already have demon strated the overwhelming importance of the man in the trench his ability to withstand the hardships of war fare, his immunity to disease and his fighting spirit. "Japan's present desperation," he said, "is understandable. In addition, Oriental face-saving demands an early and decisive victory. Yet it is ex tremely doubtful whether the war ma chine which Japan has elaborated at such pains and cost will gain much headway over several hundred thou sand coolies in their muddy trenches. "China's 'good earth' has a new and very definite meaning from the military point of view," Miller said.)

CANDY MAKERS MUST GIVE UP ROYAL PHOTOS LONDON (UP) Portraits o the king: or queen or their two children must cease to appear on chocolate boxes or any other articles offered for sale, while the branding of goods as "King George VI or "Queen Eliza beth" must be stopped.
