SHANGHAI, Feb. 27.-Japanese
airmen and artillery rained tons
of explosives on three fronts along
an 18-mile front this afternoon
literally to blast an opening
through the Chinese line for waves
of green clad infantry that went
over the top Immediately.
The aerial forces attacked Lion
Forest forts at Poashan City, the
extreme northern end of the bat
tie line, short distance north of
the Woosung forts.
1t is past these forts that Japa-
nese reinforcements are expected
to be transported momentarily to
reinforce the stymied Japanese
forces in the lines.
Japanse guns aided the airmen
in pouring shrapnel and bambs on
the Chinese defenders of Tazang,
in the center of the line.
And the artillery practically
went it alone in bombardment
of the Chinese at Chapel, the end
of the battle front nearest Inter-
national settlement.
Two Japanese units cleaning out
Chinese snipers at Kiangwan Viii
iage established contact at op-
poSite sides of the northern end
of the village at p. m. They be-
gan burning shackS and houses
and preparing for a final assault
on Tazang.
Fire On Snipers
A Japanese detachment COM
manded by Colonel Hayashi fought
into the northwestern section of
the village. Communication was
established with Colonel Tukuno's
thirty-fifth regiment. 1t had held
the eastern part of the village
since last Saturday.
The two japanese units then set
fire to the snipers' positions, at
tempting to clear the north end of
town.
Late today Chang Gai-Shek
sent men from his eighty eighth
division into the lines at Chapel
to relieve units of the nineteenth
route army which had defended
the area against Japanese attacks
for a month.
The Japanese claimed move
ments behind the Chinese lines in
dicated withdrawal from Chapel.
Investigation showed that men
from the nineteenth route army
were going back of the lines for
rest, while Chiang's soldiers
moved in.
The fresh Chinese troops i'm
mediately exchanged rifle and ma
chine gun fire with the Japanese.
The position OF Tazang remained
unchanged with the opposing
fronts only about $50 yards apart.

Big guns smashed away at the
defense. Infantrymen in their
deep green uniforms went over the
top behind the stout artillery Of
fense and cleaned out the snipers
and last stragglers of the stout
hearted defenders.
Buildings, which already had not

cupied the village and saw Colonel
Hayashi, commander of the
seventh regiment, plant the regi-
mental colors over the town and
establish headquarters in the
ruined village.
Chinese casualties were high.
During the week Chinse admitted
their casualties were 5000. Japa-

THE MURDER OF THE NIGHT CLUB LADY By Anthony
WASHINGTON FASHIONS

It's already obvious that
prints will again be the success
of summer for street wear.
They have, for several seasons,
been the standby of women
who want to wear something
during hot weather that is a
bit more formal than a wash
able frock. This year there
was talk of their popularity
lessening, but on the contrary,
Paris sponsored them more en-
Enthusiastically than ever, and
America is coming back to
them just as eagerly. So the
immediate problem is to buy
prints that will do for wear
now, and that will be equally
good when summer comes.
Sleeves for Street
The essentials of these double
duty frocks are that they must
have some sort of a sleeve,
they must be in patterns and
colors suitable for street wear,
and they must be fairly simple.
Jacket frocks often answer
the demand, but for wear now,
plain dresses seem to go un-
der coats better. Some COM
bine both features, a dress with
sleeves may be worn under
your coat while it is cool, and
may have a jacket for warmer
days. At all times, women
with taste prefer some sort of
sleeve on the street, so the
dress is better with at least a
semblance of a sleeve. The
popular two-color monotone
prints in dark colors with light
accent are splendid for all
these needs, and they are all
made in suitable ways.
Satin-Stripe Crepe
A conservative choice. but
one none the less smart, is
the dotted dress we have
sketched. It Is of satin-striped
crepe, combining texture inter
est with the print, and is in
nava with white dots. There
is a sleeveless jacket over a
long-sleeved dress, which means
that you get a good street
The Washington times., 1932-04-20

costume both with and without
the jacket. The smart shoulder
widening epaulettes are on the
jacket, and add greatly to the
trim, smart look of the suit.
The belt is of navy leather,
dotted in white just like the
dress, with a red bow, dotted
in white too. White buttons
contribute a few more spots,
and hold the jacket shut.
Distinctive Print
Another good street dress for
summer wear that is equally
attractive and comfortable
under a coat now, is the star
flower print with adjustable
sleeves. It comes with white
flowers scattered generously
over a navy or black ground,
and vivid color is introduced
in the red on the sash and a
bit of red on the surpliCe clos
ing. It is also available in
brown and white with orange
for contrast. The sleeves have
elastic, and may be worn at
the elbow or anywhere below.
The dress is unusually we'll cut,
so that it will fit almost any
figure. The sash may be
twisted around in the new man

model. Agnes makes a close
turban of frosted velvet rib
bon in blue that shades from

It's quite right to wear

it must be relieved with a

The young man was about to

fertile, pastoral plains of the
Aryan cradle land.
So the young man filled a
goatskin with some milk. The
milk was a little sour because
the young man thought it more
refreshing that way. He did not
fill the goatskin full, because it
would be too heavy. and sling
ing it on his shoulder he leaped
upon his shaggy little pony and
galloped away. The pony had
a choppy little stride and the
goatskin on the young mans

For when the young man dis

new substance had appeared.
Golden masses were sticking to
the sides of the goatskin. The
young man gingerly put one
into his mouth-that is another
way much progress in civiliza-
ton has been made, and many
useful citizens killed off. It was
delicious. The young man ate
some more. Butter was born.
Whether that is the way it
happened or not, we do not
know. Drs. Samuel Crumbine
and James Tobey tell the story
and I copy it from them. But
to this day many peoples make
butter by hanging up goatskins
filled with sour milk and beat
ing the goatskins with sticks.
