MANY FIRES FLARE

Inc Germans Claimed no br1tlSn
planes appeared over Germany,
France, Belgium or Holland last
night.
Many fires We're started, but so
prompt were London's fire fight
ers that there were no great con-
flagrations. Many delayed-action
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
hours and IS minutes.
DAMAGE ESTIMATED
Measured by the severity OF
the attacks, damage in London
was slight. 1t was estimated a.
900 buildings had been destroyed
5000 seriously damaged and TO-
900 less badly harmed, out OF
possibly 1000, 900 structures of all
kinds in greater London.
London's night defenses ap-
peared to be improving. It was
announced that last night seven
German bombers were brought
down. one by a barrage balloon
and six by anti-aircraft guns-the
largest night bag of the war.
FAMED AREAS HIT
The badly damaged London
areas were located. for the most
part. between Picadilly Circus
London's Broadway and And
street-and Hyde Park and north
of st. James's and Green park
where Buckingham palace and st
James's palace are located.
II is one of the richest areas in
the world. Picadilly is a famous
shopping street. So is Bond Street,
home of fine tailors and fashion
able haberdashery establishments.
Park Lane. running along one
edge of Hyde park. is the location
of famous hotels and apartments.
BERKELEY SQUARE
SHATTERED
Berkeley Square. once London's
most fashionable residence square
was strewn with glass. Office and
apartment buiidings-tan for Lon

Virtually every window in these
buildings was shattered.

age. One bomb struck the stone
coping Of q great block Of new
offices about 30 feet from the

raid shelters in the square, how.
ever. were not damaged.

Berlin claimed Stuka dive

transport facilities, particularly
railroad stations and subways.
Part of one subway line, the Ger
mans said, was BADLY damaged"
Other attacks were said to have
been carried out upon Liverpoo's
huge food warehouses and refrig-
Grafton plants, with destruction
so widespread that Berlin pre-
dicted there would be a food short

were said to have been destroyed
at a Rolls Royce plant in north
west London.

DR.. Lenox ignored the woman

what you've been through"
My faeew Mary struggled 10

MAY SERVANTS GIVE
PRESENTS?

Dear Mrs. Post: I have been
cook for many years in a house.
hold of very generous employers.
I thought l read something you
wrote that said it was not the
thing for those in domestic service
to give presents to their employ
ers. At Christmas gave them
nothing, but I would have liked to
give their grandchildren. who came
to visit, each a present Would this
have been wrong, too?
Answer: You must have misread
what wrote-even though I can't
remember what it was. may, OF
course, have said that it is never
necessary, nor expected, that an
employee give anything to an en-
ployer. But this does not mean
that one may not give something
II one wants to do so. An employee
who has been long in a household
like yourself, for example-may
certainly follow a genuine impulse
such as the one you describe. 1t
would have been lovely gesture
on your part to give the children
small presents that expressed
thought rather than expenditure.
II you are fond of the children, it
is almost equally certain that they
are also fond of you. For this rea-
son your kind impulse to them
would, am sure, not only have
pleased the children but their
grandparents as well.
