UTAH v Hubert E. Viilck, Mir. YES! Pattern No. 1541-- B is truly a miracle dress. Not only does it whisk away pounds, it improves and dignifies your posture, gives you a more slender figure and gracious poise. A fresh, youthful feeling is gained by the cleverly shaped side pieces forming smart shoulder yokes at the top, gathered at the waist for a flattering fit and drop-ping the skirt line as well as the low vee neck. From the point of this neck to the hem is a long straight line which draws atten-tion to your height rather than your width! Graceful sleeves which just cover the elbows are Wilkins Was at Winning Post and Knew It Not Wilkins felt that he could never ask Valerie to become his wife be-cause she was an angel, whereas he himself had many little weak-nesses of which no angel would approve. Valerie, on the other hand, kept thinking it was about time he popped the question. One moonlight night, he spoke. "Valerie, you-yo- u me?" he stuttered, hardly dar-ing to hope she had heard him. "You bet!" she replied, briskly, already deciding on white satin and four bridesmaids. "I know, darling. I know," he almost wept, "but if you'll only say 'Yes' I'll never back another horse as long as I live!"

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS Corregidor and Other Philippine Forts Fall After Constant Pounding by Japs; Eastern Supply Routes Safeguarded By Allied Occupation of Madagascar (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of themneitw.sa.Hanalyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) by Western Newspaper Union i km - ' 4! r. U'tv pi S A Mfifs V ; ; ,ti : To David Fairfax Oyster, 18, of Chevy Chase, Md., went the honor of being the first (and youngest) high school cadet accepted in the navy's aviation program. He is shown being sworn in by Secretary Navy Frank Knox, the first cadet to enter navy's Class V-- 5 by which cchnnl graduates mav aualifv for commissions in the air fame. CORREGIDOR: Chapter Ends Even as the first British Comman-dos were landing on one important island (See Column Two Madagascar: A Coup), American troops were en-gaged in their last stand for the Philippine island fortress,. Corregi-dor, in Manila bay. For almost a month since the fighting had ended on Bataan, American forces commanded by Lieut. Gen. Jonathan M. Wainwright had been holding this fortified rock against a terrific air and artillery Dounding by the Japs, thoroughly en- - MADAGASCAR: A Coup When British troops landed on the French island of Madagascar to forestall an expected coup by the Japanese the United States state de-partment was not long in announc-ing that this country was in sym-pathy with the move. British sources explained that the move was made after the Laval French government in Vichy had played host to visiting Japanese of-ficials en route to Berlin. And thus, continued this story, the Vichy gov-ernment was very unlikely to put up any opposition to a movement by the Japs to seize the important is-land which is considered a vital base for guarding the sea lanes in the Indian ocean off the east coast of Africa. Retaliatory action by the French was to be considered as an act of aggression against the entire group of the United Nations, according to the U. S. state department and this country, with Britain pledged to re-turn the strategic island to France after the war. RUSSIAN FRONT: A Pledge If the Russian soldier can fulfill his pledge to Josef Stalin, 1942 will see the final defeat of Adolf Hitler's military might. For from Moscow came the report that Russian sol-diers all along the 2,000-mil- e Ger-man front had taken an oath to make this the final year of the war. Meanwhile other Russian dis-patches told of a strong drive by Marshal Timoshenko's Red army of trenched on Luzon, across the bay. The Jap's final assault ended after about two days of constant hammeri-ng from big guns and aerial bombs. When the first Jap landings on the island itself were reported, military experts in Washington could see that the end was near. It was from Gen. Douglas 's headquarters in Melbourne, Australia, that the blunt announce-ment finally came: "General Wain-wright has surrendered Corregidor and other fortified islands in Ma-nila harbor." The other island strongholds in addition to Corregi-dor are Fort Mills, Fort Hughes, Fort Drum and Fort Frank. Then from Washington, the war department reported that it had "... received a message from Corregidor that resistance of our troops has been overcome. Fighti-ng has ceased and terms are being arranged covering the capitulation of the island forts in Manila bay." AUSTRALIA: , A Jap Headache For over a month the United Na-tions had been letting the world know, with Japan included, that their strength in Australia was as-suming increased proportions. American troops in large numbers have been poured on to this conti-nent to aid in its defense and to participate in the expected offensive action to recapture the East Indies and the Philippines. Evidence of this increased strength has been indicated by the news dispatches of hard-foug- air battles oft the coasts of this impor-tant outpost In one week-en- Al-lied headquarters reported a toll of 20 Jap planes destroyed and four Jap ships blasted by planes in scat-tered battles to the north and north-east. In one thrilling fight a Jap flying, boat Premier Marshal Josef Stalin Timoshenko the Ukraine, which cut deep into the Nazi position in the Donets in-dustrial basin. This wedge would offer an effective obstacle to the German offensive aimed at the oil of the Caucasus. RESOURCES: Strong opposition to the war de- - was severely damaged. This activity added impetus to the reasoning projected by military strategists to the effect that Japan was concentrating naval forces pre-paratory to a flank attack on U. S. communications in the South Pacific. Japan must cut these vital lines if she would stall the threatened offensive against her. With the U. S. occupation of the French island of New Caledonia these communication lines of the United Nations have been further secured. Alarmed by this news, Japan's opening moves were seen coming from the Marshall islands either through the Gilbert and Ellice is-lands or through the Solomon islands and the New Hebrides. Added to these developments was the earlier report that strong Jap naval forces which had gathered in the Bay of Bengal as a threat to India had suddenly disappeared. Only the Japs knew where they were headed, but the United Nations expected next to see them along the sea lanes be-tween San Francisco and Sydney. WAR LABOR SUPPLY: Reaches High Peak Chairman Paul V. McNutt of the War Manpower commission has es-timated that the number of men in war work by the end t 1942 may reach 17,500,000, corn-Pare- d with 1,500,000 at the begin-ning of 1941. McNutt said that although labor, like materials, must be for war production purposes, no draft or regimentation of workers is contemplated. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins reported total em-ployment from to was 40,298,000 an In-crease of 303,000 for the month and an increase of 2,537,000 since March, 1941. WPA officials reported more than 13,000,000 persons, not now consid-ered workers and most of them un-skilled, are available for full or part-tim-e war jobs, in addition to 3,600,-- 0 unemployed workers for whom Jobs have not been found. They in-clude housewives, students and per-sn- s with physical handicaps. partment's plan to lower the drat: age to 18 or 19 was seen in congress as Louis B. Hershey, national selec-tive service director, instructed state draft directors to include men of the 20 to 21 and 36 to 44 groups in the June calls. At present the army and navy both are accepting voluntary enlistments of 18 and youths. Lower-ing the minimum draft age would make approximately 2,500,000 young men eligible for conscription. An alternate plan was suggested by Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida. This would call for the pre-dra-military training for those less than 20 years old. Success of either pro-posal depends largely upon the war department's ability to convince the house and senate military commit-tees that they have exhausted mili-tary man power resources in the age brackets. However, Paul V. McNutt, chair-man of the War Manpower commis-sion, stated that no draft or regi-mentation of workers is contemplat-ed. JUGOSLAVIA: Harassing Hitler Out of Istanbul, Turkey, came a report that the Nazis were being forced to send additional large num-bers of troops into Jugoslavia to quell the general attack by Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch's Serbian army.

PREPAREDNESS iy igi re AMERICAN RED CROSS Two million volunteer Red Cross workers a militant army of mercy. IVING a pint of blood for the army and navy is a new form of patriotism in which thousands of loyal Americans are now par-ticipating. This blood, processed into life-savi-plasma for emergency transfusions, is collected from vol-unteer blood donors at 18 Red Cross Blood Donor centers. The program was launched in February, 1941, following a request by the surgeons gen-eral of the army and navy that the Red Cross provide 15,000 pints of blood to be processed into dried plasma. This pro-gram has now been expanded at the request of the army and navy to the point where over one million donors will be re-quired. Eighteen centers have been opened, and donations are pouring in at the rate of .' approximately 60,000 a month. Giving blood is a simple proc-ess, requires but a few minutes time on the part of the donor, and has no after effects. The blood is shipped daily in refrigerated containers to the laboratories, where it is processed into dried plasma, a light, straw colored powder that can be kept indefinite-ly and transported easily. Numerous cases have been reported where plasma saved the lives of American soldiers and sailors suffering from burns and traumatic shock, and Red Cross plasma has been distributed to our armed forces operating in the Atlantic and Pacific war theaters. How-ever, thousands of additional donors are needed to supply the full requirements for the army and navy, and to provide plasma for any civilian emer-gencies which may result from enemy action in this country. Red Cross Blood Donor centers delphia, Baltimore, Buffalo, Roch-ester, N. Y., Indianapolis, Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Boston, Mil-waukee, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and Washington, D. C. (Prepared exclusively for WNU.) t's a Dog's Life A certain gentleman went out shooting with a pointer he had borrowed from a friend who was a crack shot. He, being a poor shot, missed again and again, the pointer each time looking at him in bewilderment. Finally the dog set a pheasant in an open field, and glanced back at the man as much as to say: "Now, here's a perfectly good shot. See if you can do anything." The pheasant rose and flew off; the man missed. The pointer sat down, raised his nose high and howled long and dolorously. Then, with never another look at the amateur huntsman, he turned and trotted home. ASK ME 1A quiz with answers offering ? information on various subjects 6. Regards. 7.

They may be used as stock in soup or may be boiled with turnips, carrots, or cauliflow-er. Remove them from the pan before serving. A new flavor will be added to vegetable stand-by- s. The ideal way to put linens away is to roll them. Mailing tubes are excellent, so are broom handles, window-shad- e rollers or sections of poles on which rugs may have be enrolled. Store linens in a cool not hot or dry place. Do not add salt to the water when boiling corn on the cob it would toughen the corn. Boil corn 10 minutes, drain and serve imme-diately tucked in the folds of a napkin. Never let corn stand in water after it is done; that would impair the flavor and texture. After use, dry steel wool in sun to prevent its rusting. Cheese wiJl stay moist longer if the edge is thinly spread with but-ter before the cheese is placed in the refrigerator. Take especially good care of pots and pans now that metal is needed for war industries. Often old ones can be repaired. Heat them slowly and do not use too hot a fire, thereby reducing the strain on the metal and amount of heat used. Colorless lacquer can help you cut down a lot of cleaning on large ornate pieces of silver used only for decoration. Thoroughly clean, polish, wash and dry the silver, then cover it with a thin coat of lacquer. When the lacquer begins to wear off, remove all of it by rubbing with a cloth dipped in de-natured alcohol. Wash in warm water and soapsuds and polish again, then repeat the lacquer treatment. |
