Britain Has Chance
If Britain survives the rema

If Britain survives the remain
ing period of good weather without
beina shocked into surrender or
weakened for invasion by German
troops landing under cover of fog
ano the le%ngthening nights, she will
have a chance to make long strides
toward neutralizing Nazi air power
by next spring.
Hitler is well aware of that, and
he is likely to use every bit of his
present numerical superiority in
the air to make good the German
boast that England would be forced
to sue for peace by September IS.
Most neutral military experts are
drawing no conclusions about Brit
aims chances of holding out until
they can learn more ,.bout the
damage done thus far.
Many believe, however, that the
Germans are throwing into the at
tack planes which they have been
saving up, so as to inflict greatest
damage from the air just prior to
the period when fogs will offer pro-
lection for invading troop ships.
Still another theory is that the
raiders are trying to destroy Lon
don a piece at a time, and thus
shock the whole country into sur
rendering.
One report circulating in Ameri-
can military circles is that the
German pilots have been rotated
in the past on raids over England,
so that all of them, familiarized
with their detectives. may now be
thrown together against tn is
lands.
There are several possible ex-
plantations for the increased sue
cess with which the Nazi airmen
have penetrated British defenses.
1t may be due to Britis,> losses of
fighter planes and pilots, to the ex-
haustion of pilots, to the destruc-
ton of some anti-aircraf' installa-
tons or the shooting down of bal
loon barrag S.
In measuring Britain's power to
Withstand further aerial .1lslaughts
of equal or increased intensity, it
must be kept in mind that her
leaders have expected such at
tacke.
Only last week, Prime Minister
Winston Churchill met Hitler's Ia
test threat with a defiant: I'VE
can stand it."
Whether the British people &C
tually can stand it may be ap-
parent in a matter of weeks. l

Interpreting The War
BY MAX BOYD

The Nazi air force appears to be
making a supreme attempt to
shock England into surrender or to
pave the way for troop landings
before the expected end Of gooo
flying weather a week or tW 9
hence.
It is a little too early to say def.
initely that such an effort is under
way. German communicates Still
speak of the damaging raids upon
London as reprisals for British
night attacks ION residential sec.
tons and other non-military OBJ
jectives." But these characterize
tons may be intended only to jus
tify the smashing attack, not TO
describe their nature.
Test Indicated
There are many signs that Eng
land is in for a possibly decisive
test within a matter of weeks.
One possible indication is the
German announcement that bomb
ers are being hurled against the
enemy simultaneously from Den
mark, northern France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and northwes,
Germany. Another is the German
statement that Reichsmarshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering, head OF
the air force, is personally COM.
manding the intensified attacks
from his headquarters in northern
France.
Dismiss these announcements as
part of the war of nerves." if you
like, and there remains the news
that German raiders penetrated
London's defenses Saturday night
and early Sunday with greater sue
cess than ever before.
1t can hardly be doubted that
the German high command will be
encouraged, by the admitted hits
on industrial detectives and mu-
nicipal services, to pound the Brit.
ish capital anew before this dam.
age can be repaired.
Probably the most important in
dicator that there will be an al.
most continuous 'all-out" German
air attack during the next few
days is the time element.
Weather men say that the visi>
bility over the British Isles begins
to get bad, normally, around Sep
TENDER 15-next Sunday. In some
years the first fogs are a week CT
early, in others a week or two
late. But by the latter part OF
September they arefalmost always
hand, and the weather continues
unfavorable for flying through
most of the fall and winter.

Stewed Or Dried
Fruits Fit Well
Into Thrift Menu
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Service Staff Writer

Giles Steadman, commander of
u new America passenger ship
America, might serve as an ex-
ample to teen" age youngsters
in many ways, particularly in the
matter of athletic self-restraintx in
choosing the foods best suited to
keeping a strong man healthy,
clear-minded and alert.
Commander Steadman, presid-
ing at the captains table of the
magnificent new liner, sees caviar,
and every kind of elaborate hors
d'oeuvers, food cooked in rich
sauces, fattening entrees and regal
desserts from frozen buildings to
crepes Suzette.
But the tall and handsome COM
mander limits himself to clear
soups, broiled or roasted meats,
plain vegetables, salads, and
stewed O. fresh fruits in large
quantities. Nor does he drink.
Young men Of high school age
and their active sisters can follow
his diet to their profit. Great guam
titles Of fruit are important. For
economy's sake, some of the week
ly fruit allowance should be dried
and stewed. Bananas are a good
and inexpensive standby.
There should be some citrus,
fruit in the diet every day. To.
matoes, very cheap right now, are
an excellent source of vitamin C..
Canned grapefruit juice is cheaper
now than fresh, and for vitamin c
Is equally as good.
Commander Steadman goes in
for vegetables in a stalwart way,
too. Mothers on a strict budget can
serve at least two vegetables a
day and do it with economy if
they buy what is abundant in the
market and S e lie t palatable
canned vegetables when they are
cheaper in that form than fresh.
The vitamin content of canned
vegetables is usually very high,
because of the method of cooking
them in an approximate vacuum.
Among the important fresh vege-
tables now abundant and there
fore cheap are beans-green, wax
and limas-beets, carrots, celery,
cauliflower, corn, kohlrabi, kale,
turnlps, peas, peppers and various
salad greens.

Of the White Sox series, planning to
pitch Sid Hudson against the Browns
on Saturday. Hudson will be seek
ing his seventh successive victory
against q team he limited to one
hit recently at st. Louis.
Dutch Leonard, after three fall
ures to snatch his 10th, win of
the campaign, succeeded yesterday,
checking Chicago with eight hits
and registering shutout after the
first inning, when Joe Kuhel rammed
his 10th home run of the season
over the right-1ield fence to score
Skeeter Webb ahead of him.
McNair Allows Mats Two Runs.
Washington narrowed Chicago's
margin to 81, with McNair's aid,
in their half of the first. George
Case and Buddy Lewis walked, Case
moving to third as Walker smashed
single OF McNair's glove. When
McNair recovered the ball he threw
wild past Webb at second base in
an attempt to force Lewis. allowing
Case to score.
The Mats locked the score at %
in the fifth, again with help from
McNair. Lewis drilled q single to
right with one out, scooted to second
on q wild pitch, and was safe at
third on the same play when McNair
dropped Catcher Mike Tresh's throw.
Buddy scored as Walker beat out q
slow roller to Shortstop Luke Ap-
pling.
Three runs in the eighth captured
the contest for the Mats. Walker
singled to center for his fourth
straight hit after Lewis had flied
out and Bonura walked. At that
juncture Bill Dietrich was replaced
by Clint Brown on the mound for
Chicago and Brown started by fan
ming Bloodworth.
Buddy Myer thumped a single to
left, however. scoring Walker, and
when Left Fielder Julius Solters
threw wild past fresh, Bonura ad-
vanced to third and Myer to second.
Jimmy Pofahl then punched a dou-
BILE to right, scoring Bonura and
Myer. B. H.
