LONDON. Nov. THE tide OF
battle turned today in the Italo-
Greco war. with Italian troops
being reported set back in the
north and central sections of the
Albanian frontier theater of &C.
ton.
Previous reports had indicated
Italian troops making consider
able Roadway in the northern
area, with an approach being
attempted towards Salonika.
Greeks now have checked that
drive, according to independent
Yugo-Slavian dispatches, al
though Mussolini has ordered
thousands of reinforcements into
the fray in an effort to bring re-
eapitulation.
On the southern sector, along
the coaStline, Italians appears to
be making some Roadway. Stalled
at first, awaiting completion of
communication and supply line
arrangements, the Italian divi-
sions are now reported to be
steadily, albiet slowly, advancing
into Grecian territory.
Complete air domination over
most of Greece was claimed for
Italy today, with observers not
ing 80 Italian planes in action
over Greek rear positions. No
Grecian planes offered any re-
SiStance, it was reported.
Greek troops are still in AL
bania on the central sector,
though the advance towards
Corizza has been checked to some
extent Both sides have eStab-
liShed gun emplacements in the
mountains in that section and
are hammering away at oppos-
ing forces.

Story Behind II
There is a story that has never
been told behind this story of
putting original paintings in hos
pitfalls. t;.
A few years ago. Bruce was
himself confined to a hospital
during long illness. The barren
walls of the hospital room day
after day drove home the lack of
cheer which a few bright, happy
paintings might save a patients
life. There was little he could
do about it at once, for the gov
eminent was not building hos
pitfalls just then.
His opportunity did come.
however, children's hospital
built partly with federal funds
and when the building was ready.
there on the walls were Mother
Goose muralS. "A short-sighted
chief of staff hit the ceiling, de-
clared a hospital was mo place
for such levity" and demanded
the murals be removed. Bruce
countered with organization of a
jury of school children. They
