THE WAR:
Greatest in History

From Wales to Scotland, German
bombers attacked the island of
Great Britain in what was being
called the greatest mass air attack
in history" Always before as the
Nazi planes attacked, their numbers
could be reported in fves and tens
but this time dispatches from both
Berlin and London indicated that
there were hundreds of planes in
the air.
One official British source esti-
mated that in single day a Nazi
air armada of more than 1000
planes had rained bombs on all Of
England - from Scotland's border
right through The Iiidlands to Wales.
Even London itself was bombed for
the first time during the war as the
German pilots dropped tons of high
explosives up and down the river
Thames, concentrating on terrific
attack upon famed Croydon airport,
one of Europe's largest and best
equipped landing fields.
AS usual both Germany and Eng
land claimed that the enemy came
out second best. England said that
her famous fighter planes had driv-
en- off the Nazis in time to prevent
great damage" But Berlin, while
not at first admitting that London
had been bombed, did claim that
1.-THE entire Thames valley witnessed
methodical, irresistible German air
attacks which threaten all military
establishments with destruction"
Southern Exposure
Mussolini has chosen to attempt
the Italian version of blitzkrieg in
Africa. He sent 100000 soldiers
streaking across British Somaliland
with control of the Suez canal and
the British lifeline to India as stakes
in the gamble.
The campaign will be hot in more
ways than one. This is the time of
the year when intense heat of more
than 100 degrees grips Somaliland
and the monsoon blows from mid
night to mid-afternoon. Clouds give
little relief from the enervating sun
and there is little rainfall. The
British hold all the best oasis, where
men must drink or die.

Falling Leaf Season
Turns Attention
To Gutter Screens
Safeguard Against
Downspout CIogsing
And Ice Damage
BY DOROTHY DUCAS and
ELIZABETH GORDON.

Falling leaves, heralding autumn,
are beginning to drift down to
earth. 1t won't be long before your
lawn and your roof are sprinkled
with the bright foliage. Not long,
either, before the cutters around
your roof stand a good chance of
being stopped up by soggy leaves,
impeding the flow of water from
the roof to gutter and from gutter
to downspout
Now's the time to install gutter
protectors, sturdy screening that
keeps debris out but lets water in
to be properly drained off. Such
protection not only prevents clog
ging of drains. but retards rusting
and corrosion of metal cutters as a
result of moisture retained in the
soggy leaves, and eliminates repairs
to lawns and cellars which have
been damaged by water overflowing
from the cutters. It's important to
keep cutters open at all times of
the year, and it's particularly diff
cult in the fall.
The gutter protectors come in
solid or lead-coated copper or in
galvanized steel and should be
matched to the material of the gut
ters. If you have wooden cutters,
Use galvanized screening Special
clips and screws. made of bronze
for copper cutters and galvanized
steel for galvanized cutters, come
with the screening.
The screening is fastened securely
to the roof and is then clamped to
the gutter edge. This reinforce
ment of the gutter itself protects
It from damage by sliding ice. 1t
also reduces the formation of icicles
that hang like a fringe from
stopped-up cutters.
The screening is so designed that
each small diamond shaped opening
has drain-of point at its lower
side, which feeds the shed water
directly into the gutter, yet acts as
a barrier to even small leaves. The
only cleaning necessary for cutters
equipped with these screens is the
removal of sediment. SCOT or dust
which may get caked in the bottom
of the gutter or on its sides. This
is done by flushing the gutter with
a hose. Wooden cutters. with pro-
tectors. can be painted on the in
side with a spray gun.
The average cost of gutter pro-
tectors for a six or seven room
house is S25 for the galvanized kind,
and s45 for either Of the copper
kinds.

Reinforced Fabric Flashing.

Here's an item for new builders,
an inexpensive flashing. Flashing
you know, is the material inserted
around openings in a house, such
as windows, doors. etc, to keep
water from seeping through joints
and collecting inside the walls. 1t
is your built-in protection against
leakage.
This new flashing consists of
asphalt fabric reinforced
with strip of 2-ounce sheet
copper, s inches wide, at Just the
portion that forms the turn-up on
the inside of the wall. This is the
point where water seepage concen-
trates, as a rule, and therefore the
place where extra strength is de-
sirable. For less than the cost of
all-copper flashing some copper pro-
lection is afforded where it is most
needed.

Apartment Color Scheme

An apartment, restful and deco
rative, has three walls painted a
deep olive green and one papered
with a beige and bright red rib
bon design on the same shade of
olive. This color scheme is re-
peated in the upholstery OF a built
in studio couch which is of beige
linen with lacquer red chenille
stripes and lustrous green stripes
The furniture is modern In design.
The draperies are of the same ma
terial as the couch coyer.

rifice of good taste in decoration.
These headboard beds come in
twin and full-bed size. 1t is pos
sible to use twin beds, against one
headboard If you prefer. The two
beds may be swung out to be made
each morning, then pushed close
together and finished with one bed
spread and bolster extending across
the two beds, which in material
matches the upholstery on the
headboard. This makes a very neat
and attractive setting, and will offer
the comfort of twin beds, in a
space just slightly larger than the
usual area needed for a full-sized
bed These headboards may be slip
covered to match summer bed
spreads, and are very practical as
well as attractive.

To Remove Rubber Marks

It is sometimes possible to re-
move black marks made by rubber
furniture casters on hardwood
floors. Wipe over the marks with a
cloth soaked in turpentine or ben
zine-if there is no open fire In
the room-and they will quite likely
disappear. If they resist. however,
use little cleaning powder Of a
fine type that will not scratch and
rub the spot lightly. After the spots
are removed, wipe over the place
with a clean, damp cloth. When
thoroughly dry, rewax that section
of the floor.

Headboard beds are also made in

Headboard beds are also made In
period styles with a wood headboard
of maple, pine or mahogany with
decorative detail keying them to the
style of the period. These may be
purchased in many of the Wash
ington stores complete for under
$50 and the unit without the head
board for $3.50. These will be we'll
worth your scrutiny in planning new
fall decoration.

DIRECTORS TAKE CASE INTO

FOR DISCUSSION

Omaha, Neb, Oct. 14-AP-Con-
scientious directors to military
service. seeking church aid in safe
guarding their convictions, brought
their case before the United Luth-
eran Church in America convention
today in the face of an executive
board recommendation that THE
Christian citizen is in duty bound
to bear arms" in defense OF his
country.
Scheduled for thorough debate
the conflicting views are embodied
in memorials presented to the con-
vention from the central Pennsyl-
vania, Pittsburgh, and Rocky
Mountain synods in behalf OF con-
scientious directors as opposed to
the boards recommendations The
ministerium of Pennsylvania also
offered a memorial in support of
DIRECTORS.
The board recommended that
while 1t recognizes the individual
right to objection to war service,
such recognition does not imply
the church's approval.
I'VE hold that a justifiable war
not only may be possible. but that
the Christian citizen is in duty
bound to bear arms and to offer
his life II need be in defense OF
