PARIS. June 1.-THE French
government has fled for an I'M
reported city in central France
and most of the civilian popula-
lion is clogging all roads leaving
Paris today. both 10 escape cap
lure by the onrushing. ferociouslY
attacking Maxi hordes being
poured into the conflict by Adolf
Hitler.
Nearer and nearer the German
juggernaut approaches the French
capital city and the whole COM
bination-line. Weygand and Magi-
not. is seething mass of strug-
Cling humanity, from the channel
coast to the Swiss frontier.
Late reports today indicated
that the main armies of Germany
were still within 35 miles of
Paris, though tank SpearheadS
had been thrust almost to subur-
ban territory in the northwest
and northeast sections.
Allied opinion now is that if
the French troops can hold out
for another three or four days,
the Nazi blitzkrieg will fail of
its own force, so great is the de-
struction created on the mechan-
lied units and so heavy are the
casualties reported as Hitler
pours streams upon streams of
men into this, the greatest battle
of all time.
Every inch of ground is being
bitterly contested, and the Nazi
loses are said to be three times
as great as those of the defend
ing French.
Suburbs of this city were heav-
lily bombed today and smoke
from the ruins lies in a heavy
pail over a wide area.
Military law has been pro-
claimed here. French authorities
declare that they will destroy
their city completely before they
let it fall to the German hordeS
if capture must come.
Increased action came along
the Siegfried and Maginot Lines
today as heavy commandments
were reported by both war Of
fees. Severe attacks by the NaziS
at the junction of the MaginOt
and Weygand Lines were re-
pulsed by the French, with huge
losses inflicted on the Germans,
according to French dispatches.
French and German plane &C
ton continues to be a major fac
tor in the battle for this city.
French claim their planes are in
flicting heavy damages on the
blitzkrieg units while the Ger
man high command has counter
ed with claims of effective dive
bombing operations.

up and is available, place it above
the tableau. Building on the foun-
dations is by suit and ascending
sequence up to the king. The game
is won If you get all 81 cards built

On the face-up cards of the

q red jack may be placed or either

Whenever all face-up cards are

National housekeeping is a great
deal like house keeping in the home,
and the principles of national thrift
are identical with those practiced in
the family, Paul V. McNutt, Federal
| Security Administrator, said when
he addressed the board Of directors
of the General Federation Of Wom-
ems clubs at the meeting in Wash
ington in January. Mr.. McNutt is to
be one of the principal speakers at
the state convention of Women's
clubs in Greensboro in May.
Women have the largest stake in
the security of the family, MI. Nc
Mutt said, because it is around the
woman that the family revolves.
When it is necessary to economic
it is the woman who does it.
Thrift in the home and in the
nation is not a simple matter of
saving money" Mr.. McNutt said.
There is a difference between thrift
and parsimony, between economy and
boarding. Science and inventions
have added to the expense Of I'll
ming a home and they have added
to the expense of running a nation.
I'VE have come to believe that we
save money by preserving life and
health. We are now coming to be-
lieve that it is sound economy to
conserve our soil, forests and our
national resources.
There is one more item Of nation.
al thrift" Nj. McNutt said, that
cannot be ignored. We must spend
the necessary amounts to save for
ourselves and u children the ideals
of democracy. We do not hesitate to
spend enough to make our country
safe against military invasion. We
are at last realizing that it is equal
ly important to invest the amounts
necessary for social security.
"a nation that is adequately pre-
pared agains; the hazards Of econo.
mic insecurity has an impregnable
defense against the threats of poll
teal insecurity. A policy which af-
fords such protection is true econo.
my and genuine thrift"
