LONDON. Aug. I5.-Confu-
sion continued today in the blifz-
krieg warfare being conducted
over England. as that nation
struggles on in her fight for life
from the mass bombing attacks
still raging all over the land.
Nazis followed up the brief lull
yesterday with attacks of Mes
serschmidtS and Stuka bombers
in northeast and southeast Eng
land, apparently concentrating
the brunt of the attacks on Dover.
This latter concentration leads to
the belief that the Nazis will be-
gin an actual invasion effort
aimed at that port in the near
future.
Ranging into the interior, Nazi
planes. said to total over three
hundred, bombed several indus
trial centers and neared this CAPT
. tai city in some of the raids.
Meanwhile, the British re-
ported discouraging news from
the African sector. Small forces
of British army units, outnum-
bered three to four to one, are
being pushed slowly back from
positions held previously in Sa-
moliland, despite efforts of the
r A F. to keep Italian attacking
planes at bay.
Greek Cruiser Sunk
A major incident was created
today which may lead to a def
mite break between Greece and
Italy, it was heard here this
morning. A Greek cruiser was
sunk at Athens, and two other
ships were badly damaged by a
submarine thought to be of the
Italian navy.

warning, released torpedoes

is in the picture. The high crown
bighlights a very chic new style.
The brim is narrow and is worn

color note of the red velvet rose
which is placed right on top of the
crown.
If you are the type who really
looks best in large hats that make

Your makeup is of utmost i'm

your rouge and lipstick is carefully

Older skin, too, has a tendency
to dryness which in turn en-

cleanse her face at least once a
day with cream and to apply a
rich night cream before retiring.

According to doctors and dietl-
tians liver is one of the most valu-

| least once a week.
Liver is used not only in the
treatment of anaocia but in its
prevention as well. which means
no less, that it is important in the
diet of the healthy, too. Liver Is
especially rich in iron (pig's liver
yields more iron per serving than
any other food we eat), copper and

cent girl is advised to eat plenty

substitute for egg yolk.
Pork liver is the cheapest of all.
