Webster defines Individuality
as that quality which distinguishes
one person from another. IL you
were to stand on corner before a
theatre or a church, and watch the
great numbers of people coming out,
YOU would be amazed at the DIS
similarity of faces-so very many
faces and yet all different, one from
the other. 1t is individuality
which makes you "you" and me
me"
Sometimes 1t helps actively to
contribute to that quality which
says that you are Dorothy and Mary
is Mary, by a little exterior embel-
lishment. We see it being done
every day-and it is so simply ac-
complished that / wonder we didn't
think of it before this.
For instance, take group OF hlgh
school girls. Probably they are al

Armored and mechanized units had pressed forward on Derna even before Tobruk fell, and had reached it. However, it appeared that small nests of resistance remained to be liquidated, as Cairo reported that achievements were pushing toward the Derna area.
 Dispatches from Cairo said the British forces were meeting only skirmish type of resistance, largely from tanks and armored cars which were attempting to convoy Italian troops to safety toward Benghazi. Those Italians still in the vicinity of the Tobruk- DernaBenghazi coas- tai road were reported to have only the slightest chance of Secape as they had been isolated by swift British advance units.
 Italy Communique
 The Italian high command ad- mitted today British Empire forces were driving straight across the Libyan Plateau toward Benghazi as fighting was reported east and south of Derna, Italian base on the Libyan coast.
 The main British offensive in Libya, Italian military experts said, had left the Mediterranean coast and pushed into the decert. Ben ghazi dispatches reported heavy fighting in the Mechili region along the inland road between Tobruk and Benghazi, 60 miles from the sea.
 The Italians claimed to be holding strategic positions in the Mechili region, where fighting was said to have been going on for the past two days.

Military Leaders Do
 Not Give Italy Hope
Continued from Page i.)

By driving into the desert, Italian military experts said, the British weakened their offensive because they lost the support of the British ! navy, which heretofore has pre- pared advances with heavy artil- lery barrages.
 Italian troops, long trained in desert fighting, were expected to benefit as the war assumed a more Colonial nature, the experts said.
 Italian troops, it was asserted, have inflicted considerable losses on British armored forces in what was described as lively fighting.
 An Italian detachment inflicted considerable losses when it surprisde a strong British column on the Kenya front, the communique said. Fighting continued on the Eritrea front, 1t added.
 On the Greek front, the commit nique reported, there were local &C., tions and increased patrol activities.
 Russia Likes British
 The Moscow newspaper Red Star, organ of the Soviet army, doubted that the Italians could save the day in Africa and praised BritainS of- fensive tactics there. It also empha- sized the massive task facing any German force attempting to invade the British Isles.
 At home Italy had trouble. too. Rumors that German troops had been pouring into the country and that rioting had occurred at Turin and Milan were deneid flatly and American correspondents in Italy could find no basis for the rumors of the mortimer Italy outbreaks Swiss correspondents checked the Italian border and found all quiet.
 However, the Italian food supply was causing difficulty. Rationing was extended to Spaghetti and rice served in restaurants and food hoarding was denounced. Eight Mi Ian textile and clothing factories were denounced for alleged pro- fiteering.
 In Albania the Greeks reported that Gen. Ugo Cavallero was mak- ing desperate efforts to score some military success to improve Italian military prestige. However, they siad despite attacks by masses of Fascist troops Greek lines are hold ing firm and ItaliapS have gained little but heavy losses of men. Germany Bombed Again
 British Royal Air force planes bombed Germany for the first time since Wednesday during the night. the air ministry made t known to- day.
 It was understood that industrial targets, mainly, were attacked. German airplanes remained al- most completely inactive so far as Britain knew. Two German recon naissance planes crossed the east coast during the early hours of the morning but turned back without dropping bombs.

AntoneScu was understood to be conferring with army leaders on re- construction of the government in which army men are expected to play an important role.
 Antonescu scheduled further con- freences with military leaders to be held following a mass funeral this afternoon for officers and soldiers killed in quelling the revolt.
 Still At Large
 Budapest, Hungary, Jan. 27- (UP)-Horia Sima, dissident Ru- manian Iron Guard leader, was re- ported still at large today and or ganizing revolt in the provinces de- spite and official Runlanian govern ment announcement of his capture.
 Reports that Sima was still at liberty came both direct from Bu- charest, though the strict censor ship, and from Berlin.
 There were various reports also that resistance of Iron GuardiStS continued at various places in the provinces, including the Turnu Se- verin, Craviova and Temesvar areas of the southwest near the JugoSlav and Bulgarian frontiers.
 The United Press Bucharest cor- respondent said that though offi- cials continued to assert Sima had been arrested, many persons were convinced he was in hiding. Berlin reports from Bucharest were that authorities ordered another search of Sima's home last night but that he had not been found.
 Bucharest dispatches and Balkan reports generally indicated that Gen. Ion Antonescu, the premier, was in effective control of the situation in Bucharest and big provincial cities but that resistance continued in the Bucharest suburbs, on a small scale. and that rowing bands of Iron Guard rebels were roaming provincial areas.
 Travellers arriving in Budapest. from Pennsylvania reported that there had been fighting as late as Saturday at Temesvar and that German troops intervened to stop 1t. According to these informants GGaADdists had dominated the town.

 Harold Christoffel, local union president, announced the 1000 work CTS on strike would refuse to return to work until the company agreed to compensate them for time lost during the strike and charged that the company had forced" the union to walk out He said the local union would take steps ot obtain national legislation covering such situations.
 A truce in the strike of 3,4O0 CIO Shipbuilders of the Alabama Dry- docks and Shipbuilding O., Mobile, was sought in conferences arranged between the union and company of- ficials. The strikers are demanding higher wages and have held up re- pair work on ships for the navy and British shipping interests to en- force their demands.
 Conciliators said "every effort" would be made to settle a dispute that resulted in disturbances at the Johnstown and Bethlehem units of the Bethlehem Steel Go. which has defense contracts worth $1,185, ,00,- 900. Workmen at the plants return ed to their jobs Sunday on orders from Van A.

more are under construction. It is in remote south central New Mex ico, where Billy the Kid, gunman and outlaw, had his hangout. The camp is situated in an open valley, 68 miles west of Roswell, & region of rolling hills, brush and grass covered, and of moderate climate.
 Their nearest neighbors will be the patients of a marine hospital for tuberculosis sufferers, occasional Mexican sheepherders and Indians.
 The camp is seven miles rom a railroad.
 The sailors will be policed by their own officers, but six immigra- tion officials will accompany them, and it was expected that some would remain. Boundaries of the camp are marked, and the Germans will not be allowed to go outside them.
 The sailors will do their own cooking and housekeeping, as they have done on Angel island, in San Francisco bay. The German gov- ernment will pay for their main tenance.
 Immigration officials said the Germans were not regarded as prisoners, but as bonded paying guests" of the United States. Their status on Angel island was that ot distressed seamen."

(Continued from Page D

State election commission of six to supervise all election procedures.
 The commission, appointed by the governor with approval of the legls- lature, would have paid executive secretary and it would assume du- ties now controlled by the secretary of state.
 The secretary of state would be a member of the commission, and not more than three members of each major political party would be eligi- ble to serve.
 Other bills of the revision com- mission, which will be introduced this week include:
 Creation of a direct primary sys- tenn in the larger cities and towns of the state.
 Revision of all laws relating to electors, meetings of electors, pr1m- aries and caucuses.
 A new draft of the correct prac- tices act, and a new draft of the voting machine law.
 Compelling the re-enrollment of all voters on caucus and primary lists to prevent the names of dead persons, or non-eligibles from ap- bearing on the voting lists.
 A proposal for a combination con- vention and direct primary for mu- nicipal elections. All primaries in larger towns would be under super vision of the regular election law officials of the state. Parties would not be able to conduct their own primaries, if the town has more than one voting district.
 In cities of more than 25,000 pop ulation, nominations would be pro- posed by town committees and filed with the town clerk. However, if one per cent of the enrolled voters of a party objected to the nominations, regular nominating petitions would be filed and there would be a direct HRimary to select candidates.
