So we find the wee brown bat Is
one Of the commonest of our bene-

months when the insects are abroad.
It seems shame that an animal

one.

times, in its pursuit of an extra
lusty fellow, it may enter an open
window or door. 1t may or may
not capture its prey while in your
home, but it absolutely will not up
set or touch anything. This has
been proven again and again by
blindfolding the bat and setting it
free in a crowded room. The bat
is so sensitive to objects that it
will not strike them, no matter how
fast 1t may be racing about in
search of food.
Bats do not build homes. They
spend the daylight hours in caves,

them their supper, and she knows

Whether you are planning to "lock up the house" and leave on your annual vacation or merely plan to be away for the evening, it isn't a good idea to advertise the fact.
 A recent study made by the Aetna Life Affiliated companies involving burglaries reported in 47 principal American cities re- veals that family away for the evening" is the leading factor in making residence burglaries pos- sible. Other factors which give the burglar his best opportunities are family away overnight" and family away on vacation"
 8P. M. to Midnight
 The survey further shows that more burglaries, on the average, are committed between 8 p. m. and midnight than at any other time of day. During this period, more burglaries are reported as occurring around g p. m. than at any other specific hour, although nearly as many occurred at 8 p. m., and at 10 p. rn., and . lesser number were reported from II p. m. until midnight.
 Burglaries in cities and towns in the west seem to occur on the average at a slightly earlier hour, however. San Francisco, for ex. ample, reports more burglaries between ? and 5 p. m. while Honolulu, Los Angeles, and other western centers report the ma- jority as occurring between 6 and 6 D. m.
 One fact borne out by reports received from the various cities, according to the Aetna, is that regardless of the time of the rob- bery, b glars make 1t their busi- ness tf learn beforehand when their Intended victim is likely to be away from home and the propery left umguarded.
 Burglar Wanted
 The Aetna lists the following as the best samples of Burglar Wanted" advertising:
 1. House having the general appearance of abandonment, lawn uncut, etc. The burglar reads the signs and concludes that the fam- fly is away for the summer, or on vacation.
 2. Mailbox stuffed with mail, . collection of newspapers on the veranda, or several bottles of milk on the doorstep fairly screech their message that the family has departed for several days. It is important to have all such deliveries stopped, even if the family plans to be gone less than a week.

 Italy hammered methodically at British empire defenses in Africa today and Japan threatened new clashes with British and American interests by pushing expansion1st plans in the far east.
 War of Nerves, Propaganda
 In western Europe Germany and Italy continued to concentrate on war of nerves and propaganda- broken by spordiac British air raids and heavy retaliatory bombing of Nazi baseS-in an effort to weak en British resistance to the long, threatened Nazi blitzkrieg offensive against the British Isles.
 Italian bombs fell on the Egyp- tian port of Alexandria again; un- identified airplanes appeared to have started fire by 8 new bomb attack on Gibraltar; German bomb- CTS attacked the Scottish port of Thurso and a camp at Scapa Flow; British planes dumped more ex- plosives on German bases and arms factories; Fascist troops claimed the capture of the Sudan town of Cher gan from the British.
 ] But all of these scattered blows were mere preliminaries to the showdown which the Nazi-FaScist press-taking the offensive on the propaganda front--said soon would be forced upon a defiant and in- creasingly-confident Britasn tn the worlds most destructive offensive from Scotland to the Red Sea.
 That the axis powers are about ready to make their climactic bid for victory over Britain appeared certain, but the furry of threats from Rome and Berlin gave no def mite clue to how or when. In Rome it was believed that Adolf Hitler would address the Reichstag prior to the showdown, but in Berlin ii was insisted that nothing was known of the Fuehrer's plans. Il appeared possible that the Fascists were doing the talking for the mo-

Prisoners of War

In accordance with a new pos- tai law, all parcel-post packages addressed. to individual prisoners of war are in the future to be sent without any postal charge, according to information re- ceived by Postmaster Charles A. Babin. Similarly, parcels arriv- ing from prisoners of war are to be exempt from delivery fees and from customs clearance fees. Parcels sent to prisoners of war will still be subject to other requirements, weights, di- mansions, and so on, and should be conspicuously marked both in French and English, Prisoner of War Parcel" and "Prisonnier de guerre," in addition to the usual customs declaration. Par cells for prisoners of war may be sent even to countries with which regular parcel post serv- ice has been suspended. How ever, postage exemption does not apply in the case of interned civilians.
