BUNGALOW, OVERLEE
KNOLLS, VA:
I had the newlyweds in mind
when I inspected these bungalows.
Especially the young couple just
starting out on life'S journey to-
gether. What better way could
be found than starting in a lit
tie home Of your own? These
bungalows are brick; built on
nicely planted lots and each one
having five spacious, well-arranged
rooms. A lot Of genuine pleasure
could be had in preparing meals
in the perfectly appointed kitch-
en-, for they have all those up
to-the-minute devices that make
work easy. The most interesting
part Of all this is the terms on
which it can be purchased; for a
small down payment and $50 a

will belong to you.

~ Die as Shells
Sink Spanish Ship

TUNIS, Tunisia, Aug. 10 d.N.S0
Twelve members of the crew were
burned to death in the engine
room when the benzine-carrying
Spanish loyalst tanker Campeador
was sunk, according to survivors
charges, by the Italian destroyer
Saetta.
Three torpedoes struck the Cam
peador, it was reported to French
authorities here, after a dramatic
chase in which the Spanish ship
was frustrated in a dash for safety.
All day the Saetta followed the
tanker, said survivors, and last
night she was joined by a second
allegedly Italian destroyer. At
darkness, when neither destroyer
showed lights, the Campeador's
master took alarm, and sped for
Kelibia, so miles northeast of
TuniS, but he was intercepted and
the Saetta opened fire.
With the exception of the II
dead, other members Of the
tanker's crew reached the Tunisian
shore.

LOSSES HEAVY
ON TWO FRONTS
IN SPANISH WAR
Hard Fighting, Surprise
Raids Gain Little

MADRID, Aug. 10 G.N.S).--In,
tensive fighting on two fronts and
a series Of surprise raids on other
sectors today caused heavy losses
on both sides in the Spanish civil
war, but resulted in no significant
gains.
Government battalions suffered
a severe setback in the second day
of their offensive on the Guada-
lajara front, Madrid admitted.
After a column succeeded in cap
turing Lopera, strategically impor-
tant village north of Guadalajara.
strong nationalist reinforcements
forced the Madrid army to with
draw. In the struggle in the hills
around Lopera, Madrid said, many
nationalist were killed and a score
captured.
South of Madrid the nationals
attacked the Estremadura High
way for the second time this week,
hoping to cut off government &C
cess to the south. Another raid
was made on the Soria road.
With the aid Of machine guns,
trench mortars and hand grenades
used in close-hand fighting, both
assaults were repulsed.
Reported uprisings within the
nationalist ranks on the Teruel
Salient stemmed large-scale fight
ing there, but still the national
lists managed to make many raids
which prevented the government
from taking advantage Of the
situation for a counter offensive.

In some quarters it was be

1.-THE impulsive and i'm.

declared.
with the Pope's growing
age, troubles increase.
How can the Reich let
citizens go to Rome as pill
grims, knowing they will be
subject to anti-German propa-
ganda, and knowing that the
pilgrims will return to Ger
many with a hostile attitude
toward the government"
