C. in the war with Japan, when 4Early the little men of Nippon were warming down the Maylayan Peninsula at an unbelievable rate through impossible terrain and rolling up one Inconceivable victory after another, I had a talk with a wise old military campaigner, and as a result of the conversation, sat down and wrote that "infiltration" is a word you are going to hear used a lot before this war is over. Then followed the days when the Japs pushed the allies back from Singapore to New Guinea and the men of Nippon were acclaimed as the aces of Jungle fighting, the art of filtering through territory in vich heretofore human beings were not supposed to be able to fight. Today, the allies have produced the best jungle fighters In the world. We are daily beating the Japs at their own game. And today, I was reminded of something else after another session with another anonymous oldtimer. of another time and place. He told me some things about the Hied air force and I recalled the days when Hitler began to bully and I realized that It wasn't Europe bK much appeasement, corruption, deceit or Nazi diplomacy then that made the Fuehrer master of central Europe, first at Munich and later in France and the low but the threatening countries, shadow which the dreaded Luftwaffe cast across the world. Today, Just as the allies have the Japs, they have the Luftwaffe. In the latter case, we must admit the Ger mans taught us in Africa how they areas; later, erage for the rCr rfc Germans had a thousand planes based on or near Sicily. Thirty-on- e of the airdromes had been attacked in the preliminary phase for a month. Rail communications were bombed in order to isolate Sicily as nearly as possible, (the second in the list of the bombers functions). Messina was a chief target for it was a convenient rail bottleneck. Also the principal rail lines running down the boot of Italy were hit Telephone exchanges and stations where radar sets were located were hit. This is another thing the Germans taught us in their Invasion of Poland and it explains what seemed to be some of the senseless bombings of the little Polish villages. Radar and telephone exchanges 'Dad. Sis and f really need were often set up In these villages. and we got our hats last week." They were located by radio detection. In Sicily itself, the enemy bases had been so thoroughly destroyed that the Germans couldn't get enough of their planes In the air to interfere with the landings. Also, the second and third functions of the tactical airforce were well carried out: namely, the isolation of the Ground Troop Support will be able to understand the ivasion of Europe much better if we understand a little more about the two roles which the allied air force has played in modern warfare ever since we took a page from Germany's book and learned what It means to coordinate the efforts of pilot and bombardier with the foot i.TT-- o soldier and the sailor, especially in what is now generally called "triphibious" warfare. First, it might be well to state clearly the difference between the tactical and strategic bombing. Strategic bombing is directed toward m 'destruction of enemy strength at a distance. Tactical bombing Is destruction or Interruption of enemy operations in or near the combat area. Because the valuable quality of Is flexibility, the two roles sometimes overlap, but in general, the strategic effort is a long range effort in terms of both time and e space it requires the use of e and bombers fighters. Tactical bombing is the quick Awer to Instant needs It Involves lighter bombers and usually does not require long range for its craft. There is an exception, which I'll mention later. Strategic bombing is aimed, as we bave seen, at factories, at all installations which contribute to the enemy's war effort; railway lines. Junctures, military bases, rolling stock and all means of transportation and communication. The targets in tactical bombing are more varied and will be men-lte- air power long-rang- long-rang- r. The Final Phase We are interested at present In the final phase of the European war, o It might be well to describe the preliminary efforts before, and the continued effort after, the assault on an enemy shore. The Sicilian campaign is a good example. The first job the air force had was to remove an obstacle enroute. That obstacle was the Island of and you remember what happened to It. It was flattened Into surrender in two days, Then the real "triphibious" effort began. It followed a pattern which is pretty much the one accepted for Invasions since. The first step is the neutralization of the enemy air force and this ls a job nobody but an air force can do.

He has to meet higher expenses with the same salary; he must buy war bonds, and contribute to the Red Cross and all that. Now that his son is gone into service, he feels lonely and depressed, for he knows the hardships of military life, and its dangers. The son who was his pride and hope is gone, at least for the time being, and Father can't say anything. Mothers get the sympathy, but Fathers are supposed to be strong and silent. So on this Father's day, Miss Norris suggests the fam ily, that is mother and the girls let up on their constant pleas and hints for money, and let Dad have a little peace of mind. The day should be given over to making Father comfortable getting his pipe and slippers, preparing his favorite dishes, and letting him have the car. These attentions will please him a lot more than a party, or an expensive . book- Book 2 contains HtLki(i rig rnniN MRS.

Name A HANDSOME pair of cushions to brighten up your living room may be made from things on hand or from remnants of silk. Frequently the largest pieces of the skirt of an old silk dress may be used for a pair of matching cushions. The backing may be made of sateen. A soft fold of a contrasting silk around the edge makes a smart finish. The sketch shows how such a fold is cut and applied. Eighteen inches square is a good size for the cushions and, if you have an assortment of cushions of different sizes, it is easy to trans fer the filling into ticks of the size you want.

Elephants Mature at 20; Can Do 20 M.P.II. on Run fEE.'rr People of Burma say an elephant is old when he is born, with his wrinkled skin and wobbling movements. The life span of the elephant is 75 years. Maturity is reached at 20 years or less, and the animal begins to show signs of age at 40. The trunk of the elephant is tube of muscles divided by middle partition, and bearing at the end projections that may be used similarly to fingers and thumbs. Elephants make love by wrapping their trunks around each other, suggestive of th emanner in which human beings hold hands. While the elephant can neither run, trot, gallop, nor jump, his shuffling gait can be stepped up to 20 miles an hour. SAYS THAT nISCHMANN rS TH6 ONty YEAST FOR' 6AKIN9 WITH i'm FREE! senp for.
