Yes, women know how they are supposed to greet their returning husbands. But why hasn't any, body ever told husbands how to be- have when they come home to their families at night?
 Maybe the easy way would be to tell them how not to behave. All right. Husbands, take heed:
 Don't come home and say What have you got for dinner?" and when you find out, say with disappoint- ment, "Oh, that's what I had for lunch"
 Don't hide behind a newspaper and refuse to talk when you know your wife hasn't had word all day long with anyone but an eighteen month old baby. and the butcher.
 Don't kick because you have to go out, if you agreed to the plan when your wife asked you about it in the morning.
 LEND A HAND
 WITH DISHES
 Don't act put upon if you are asked to do some small repair job about the house.
 Don't eat good dinner and fail tive to some food element, or some pollen, or some kind of dust. But emotional maiadjustment is much more frequent cause of digestive trouble.
 All of US, al the while, hear two voices whispering us in the ears. One voice whispers: T am discour- aged; am afraid; I can't stand an- other thing, and won't!"

Powerful German shore batteries on the French coast, firing at a range of more than 20 miles, shelled a mile-long British convoy in the Strait of Dover. injecting a new sting in the Nazi proclaimed air and sea blockade on Britain.
 Small merchant ships, escorted by warships, hugging the English cliffs, were attacked by battery of four guns which suddenly opened fire from near Boulogne on the distant shore.
 Other Batteries
 Other batteries along the French coast all the way from Boulogne to Calais took up the hombardments.
 The convoy steamed doggedly on to it's destination. At least 100 shells were fired
 Observers estimate that the attack lasted for 20 minutes.
 Shells burst near the vessels of the convoy, the Nazi gunners ap- parently getting their range direc- tons from high flying observation planes.
 Most of the shells fell in the sea.
 The British warships laid down smoke screen and escaped, the con- voy passing through the Strait of Dover without apparent casualty.
 Maxi war planes continued the air siege on England in scattered and small scale attacks.
 Bad Weather Continues
 Bad flying weather today again hampered the British attacks on German occupied positions and the Germans mass attacks on England. No severe aerial punches or counter punches were reported up to noon today.
 Fishermen report that three NaM planes assaulted British convoy off the northeast English coast, dropping salvos of bombs, but ap- parently without success.
 Royal Air Force Spitfires chased the raiders out to sea.
 The German High Command claims that Nazi fighters attacked fifteen airports and numerous in dustrial plans and ports in raids of widespread sorties yesterday.
 The British Government declares that nearly 1000 Naz planes have been shot down since the Nazis started their intensive raids on July Is.

8-MAN GREW TO RUN BIG
 F(( STATION
Moniforing PIdnt Will Be Erected Near Juneau
 This Fall

Juneau's pig monltcg::ng station under the Federal Communications Commission for detection of radio operating foreign agents will prob ably be built this fall, according to Chief Inspector " Ford Greaves of the western area.
 Greaves, who has been seeking a site for the station with Juneau headquartered EGG Inspector Stacey Norman, plans to leave tomorrow enroute to Nome and Anchorage to survey more monitoring station sites, planning to return here in about two weeks.
 The Juneau station will operate on "A hour schedule, with men cn shift at all times, Greaves said, probably eight men composing the station crew.
 Probably on Highway
 A site for the station has not yet been chosen, but it will undoubtedly be out the Glacier Highway. A frame building for a temporary structure, will be thrown up first with living quarters for crew, Greayes said, with plans to be drawn later for more permanent construction. An increase of 25 and possibly 35 in the Alaska personnel of the Fed eral Communications Commission will take place in the next six months, Greaves indicated. Greaves, who is making prelim- mary survey in connection with the establishment of new nlonitoring stations in the north, said Alaska is to have one of four new primary monitoring stations in the United States. The Territory will also have from one to three secondary moni- toring stations, he said The Ju- neau station will probably be a

THE COLONEL APPEALS

The Colonel went into action There were no more trucks, he was told. So the Colonel jammed 20 oi his men into the already crowded six trucks, and appealed to the as- sistant Adjutant Generals office The office suggested sending the men by train. How about food, the Colonel inquired? Sorry, there was no authorization for feeding 80 ex- tra men on the train.
 The Colonel gave up, appealed tc the men themselves for private cars, got 10, crammed the 80 now weary soldiers into these and rolled his unit out at 1920 pm.
 You'd think the fates would let a man alone when he had done that we'll, but the luck of the 260th played out again before Northun- berland Two of the trucks broke down. One was repaired, one sent back to Washington.

 Long Live The Struggle" was the way Leon Trotsky, nee Lev Davydovich Bronstein, hailed Amer ica when he took refuge in the Unises States in 1917. The slogan epitomized him.
 He struggled against the czarist regime, then to put himself for ward in the Bolshevist movement again in futile attempt to suc- ceed Nikolai Lenin as strong man of the Union of Socialist Soviet Re- publics, after that to overthrow the governing group headed by Jo- seph Stalin and through many years to overcome i'll health and ward off attempts on his life by political foes.
 He did attain high place in the early days of the Soviet Union, but he fell from that eminence to be- come a homeless nomad, barred from Europe and Asia and forced early in 1887 to find haven with a disciple in Mexico
 Built Military Machine
 Second only to Nikolai Lenin when the Bolshevists seized power in 1917, he was the first Commis- sar of Foreign Affairs, then became War Minister, revivified Russia's s war-weary soldiery and built a military machine which held off Japanese attacks in Siberia, checked Allied troops at Archangel, smashed White Russian armies on the east, south and west and carried the red banner of Communism to the very gates of Warsaw
 Called in those days "the Ma poleon of Bolsheyism" and war lord of the Soviets,' his name con- stantly was coupled with Lenin's. When the latter died in January, 1924, it seemed that the mantle of power would fall gracefully upon the shoulders of the junior member of the firm, and he tried to don it. But always an individualist in Com munist Party councils, he had made enemies. Besides he had not for mally joined the Bolshevist wing until 1917 and elders of that fac tion, henchmen of Lenin since 1903, deemed him an upstart. They ral- lied to Joseph Stalin, Executive Sec retary of the Communist Party, stripped Trotsky of his offices, ex- pelled him from the party late i'll 1927 and banished him and his chief political lieutenants. The span of his rise and fall was ten years.

WASHINGTON-For some time British air observers, and also U. s military experts stationed in Eng land, have been puzzled by the fact that mere handful of two or three British planes have been able to chase away as many as 20 Nazi bomberS.
 American air attaches in London have sent back glowing reports of British success, telling how some times even one British pursuit plane would put to flight an en- tire Nazi squadron. Nazi planes about-faced and fled so easily that it was suspected they had stand ing orders from Berlin not to en- gage in battle.
 Now the mystery of these German tactics has been solved. Enough German planes have now been shot down in raids over England to establish the fact that most of them are not equipped with regu- lar navigation instruments. Appar- ently, only the leader in every Ger man squadron carries navigation apparatus, and the other planes follow him.
 Therefore, should the leader be shot down, the other planes are under orders to head for home, flying blind. Also whatever the leader does, the other pilots must do.
 On the other hand, every British plane is a complete unit in it. self, fully equipped, and can act independently of any squadron.
 Reason for the failure to equip Nazi planes presumably was Hit ler's haste to build them, and also the desire to cut down the ex- pense.
 NOTE-It was a characteristic of German soldiers during the World War that they liked to fight elbow to elbow. American doughboys found that when they got separated from their company, even in fairly large groups, they were much easier to capture.
