Can You Tell When Kidneys
Function Normally?

Kidneys should act 4 or 5 times
daily. Pass about 3 pints straw
colored fluid and none at night.
If color and quantity is off, pass
age scanty, frequent smarts and
bothers at night, it may be a
signal that excess acid and other
waste is not being eliminated
regularly. This may also lead to
backache. headache, or rheumatic
pains. Try giving kidneys a
gentle lift. Drink lots of soft
water and take BUKETS three
times daily. Get a Csc box from
any druggist. Locally at Olivieri's
Drug Store.--advt.

 United States In Danger
 Washington, Sept. IT = (U.P) - General George c. Marshall, army chief of staff, said in radio ad- dress last night that the possibility of military danger to the United States "trembles on the verge of be- coming a probability"

Nazis Use Dive Bombs
 To Smash At London
(Continued from Page 1O

dGA. 80mbing went on relentlessly through the night and today.
 The night raid did substantial damage. Many fires were started but 50 prompt were Londons fire fighters that there were no great conflagrations. Many delayed-ac- ton bombs were dropped and the fashionable west end areas got a pounding.
 In the last "A hours London had eight alarms. The longest breather between sirens was two hour sand 38 minutes.
 A row was brewing over the ques- tion of air raid shelters. Citizens with support of some newspapers attacked the so-called Anderson shelters which resist bomb splinters but not direct or near-direct hits. It was indicated that deep shelters provided for commercial buildings and factories many of which are not utilized at night may be opened shortly.
 Despite the persistent, severe at tacks relative damage in London was slight. It was estimated that 2,000 buildings had been destroyed, 5000 seriously damaged and 10000 less badly harmed out of possibly 1,O0O0 900 structures of all kinds in Greater London.
 London'S night defenses appeared to be improving despite the severity of last nights bombing. It was an- nounced that seven German bomb CTS had been brought down, one by a barrage balloon and six by anti aircraft guns-the largest night bag of the war.
 Major Battle In Egypt
 A major battle in Egypt appeared imminent. Rome reported that stiff British resistance had been encoun- tered near Sidi Barrani, about SO miles into Egypt from Libya. Other unofficial Rome reports hinted that the Italian column had occupied Sidi.
 These reports indicated that the Italians had moved on through Bugbug, about 3o miles from the border, and were nearing Marsa Matruh, the first important ob- jective of the drive.
 It was thought that the British planned to make stand at Marsa Matruh.
 However, conditions for the Ital- ian advance and large-scale fight ing were not good. A heavy sand- storm was raging to add to the discomfort of the desert heat.
 Cairo indicated that an attempt probably would be made by the British fleet to cut of the Italian column from any supplies brought by sea. The road along which the Italians are advancing parallels the coast.
 Headquarters said that bitter fighting was continuing today and that desert storm conditions con- tinued to prevail.
 The coFnmunEque said that yes- terday fierce fighting" occurred iEl the sldl HarrAni region between what were described As Italian ad- vanced forces and British armored units.

The nominating session will be held Wednesday, and besides Gov Baldwin and Cornell, the conven. tion was expected to renominate:
 Lieutenant Governor: James L McC Conaughy, president of Wesleyan university. His Democratic opponent is Odell Shepard, Trinity college professor.
 Comptroller: Fred R. Teller, Ston- ington. His Democratic opponent iI John M. Dove, Killingly.
 Treasurer: Joseph E. Talbot Naugatuck. Democrats have nomi. mated Dr. Frank Anastasio, New Haven.
 Secretary of State: Mrs. Sara B Crawford, Westport. Her opponent is Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse New London.
 The attorney general nomination is not being considered this year It is a four-year position.
 Cornell Looks Sure
 Reliable sources said that should a contest develop over the sena- torial nomination, Cornell would re- ceive at least three quarters of the ballots, and possibly as high ss 85 per cent. The former New York advertising man has been cam paigning for the nomination fol some time, but failed to receive SUD- port of few major leaders, in- cluding State Chairman Benjamin E. Harwood.
 Gov. Baldwin maintained a posi-. tion of neutrality in the situation but it was said in informed quar- ters he believed Cornell would make a strong senatorial candidate. Ma tional Committeeman Samuel F Pryor, Jr., and Fairfield county leader J. Kenneth Bradley were seen as favorable to Cornell's can didacy.
 There were many in the early ar- rivals who believed Gov. Baldwin's state record should be featured ir the coming state campaign rather than the party's presidential can didate.
 Pledges of & strong state defense setup were expected to be listed in the platform.

intensive Italian air raids before Marshall Rodolfo Graziani, Italy's African commander in chief, launched his invasion of Egypt.
 Indicating that fighting had been severe between Sollum and Sidi Barrani, the communique hinted that British defense lines were showing signs of wavering.
 It indicated that Italian forceo already had gone beyond Bugbug and had reached the outskirts of Sidi Barrani.

But after a 70-minute interval, raiding, raiding panes- which had apparently lurked near London, caused 8 new alarm which started at $50 a. m. and ended at 5:22 (12:22 a. m. EDT).
 The first attack was one of the most relentless of the 10 days of German mass night attacks. At one time fires ringed the capi- tai. A one fire was put out in- cendiary bombs started another. Such buildings as St. Paul's cathe- dral and Westminster Abbey were silhouetted in the glare. But an hour after the first raid ended there was not even glow in the sky, and it was evident that the London fire brigade had reached a new high in promptness in putting out fires.
 The Germans, reports indicated, dropped hundreds of bombs at ran.' dom, particularly in the west Lor- don area where bombs fell in resi- dential quares far from any mili- tary objectives.
 Bremen Flung to Death
 During the long raid several auxiliary firemen were flung to death from 8 tall turn-table ex- tension ladder by two bombs which struck few feet away. The fire men were climbing the long ladder when the bomb struck They had known that German planes were direct over them but had gone on with their work.
 One of the bomb struck a build ing in which 200 persons were shell tered but caused no casualties. Con- stantly the anti-aircraft batteries fired, more frequently than they had done before, and added the danger of shell fragments to that of bombs.
 Dime for Lodging London, Sept. 17.-(UP)-Thou- ands of Londoners carrying bulging grips trudged out of deep subway stations today after spending dime for uncomfortable but compara- lively safe lodgings during last nights air raids.
 The nightly sojourn of Londoners in the subways is one phase of heated controversy raging around demands that Sir John Anderson, home security minister, provide bet ter and more extensive air raid shelters for all boroughs. The bat tie is expected to break out in the next meeting of parliament, but meanwhile it is serious problem for the capital.
 A United Press man spent part of last night in subway station in the heart of the fashionable west end and saw hundreds of persons nestle down on cement platforms to sleep.
 There was keen competition to gain the best position in the deep subways.
