Nazi Dive-Bombers
Concentrate Attack
On Greek Ports
ReIentIessIy Hommerine
Greek-British Forces
Approaching Athens
By the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS, April 24.-Waves of
German dive bombers are concen-
trating a fierce assault on Greece's
major ports and hammering re-
| lentleSsly at Greek-British troops
fighting an uneven battle against
Nazi mechanical units laundering
on Athens from the north.
Though meager reports from the
battlefront were ominous, there was
no indication of a mass exodus from
this capital, already abandoned by
the government for the Island of
Crete.
Clouds of smoke rolled across the
city yesterday as the Germans
pounded the nearby port of Piraeus
with high explosives and sirens
sounded alarm after alarm. but
still no bombs fell in Athens itself.
CThe British have announced
that should axis Warplanes bomb
Athens and the ancient ruins on
the Acropolis they would attack
Rome and make the Italian capi-
tai target until the end of the
war;
Air Alarms Ignored.
For the most part, Athenians ig-
nored the repeated air alarms and
the local government, still in resi-
dence, continued to carry out its
normal functions.
How long the Greek forces, de-
pleted by the surrender of the army
of Epirus, could hold the axis forces
away from Athens with the aid of
their British Allies was doubtful
and the Greek high command said
nothing to relieve the uncertainty
of the civilian population.
The daily war bulletin, devoted
entirely to resume of events lead
ing up to the capitulation of Greek
forces on the EpiruS front, was far
from Illuminating.
The chain of events. the high
command said, was started by the
unexpected dislocation of the Yu-
goslav front" which exposed the
flank of Greek forces in Albania and
necesSitated vast and hasty
withdrawal"
This withdrawal, it was said, was
impeded by the swift advance of
German panZer units from Bitolj,
which cut the Greeks principal line
of retreat and Obliged these forces
which did not possess anti-tank
guns-to turn off toward the noun
tains in which withdrawal and
provisioning became problematical."
Army Fought to Last.
Despite this situation, the high
command said. the Epirus army
fought to the last against Italian
forces outnumbering it two to one
and until the hour of the armistice
kept Fascist troops off Greek soil.
Daniel de Luce, Associated
Press correspondent who re-
Gently arrived in Turkey from
Greece, said not all the Greeks
obeyed the withdrawal orders.
He told of suicide squads which
remained behind in concrete pill
boxes, guarded by land mines,
determined to make the axis
troops pay dearly for their ad-
vance.
There was no collapse of mo-
rale, De Luce declared command
ers who could easily have fed
to the coast remaining with their
men to the endD
A communique issued by the Min
istry of Home Security acknowl-
edged that German bombing at
tacks on Greek harbors had done
considerable damage to ships and
other installa tons" It said civilian
loss of life was small.
Three German raiders were re-
ported shot down yesterday. and
the crew of another was said to
have been captured when it crashed
in the Aegean.

 Let's start sharing more out-of-doors hours with each other Women go in for many active sports today sure, but usually not unless there's @ man along. Look at the women who enjoy hunting. But you never hear of two women going out hunting together, do you? Walking Is the same way. woman says, I love to 10 for long walks'-but she means with man. It never occurs to her that she might enjoy walking with another wonan
 And let's speak more kindly and warmly of each other. After all, most of us aren't really dangerous rivals
 We're going to be seeing lot of each other, we women-so we might well make up our minds to enjoy it.

REHASHING THE COLD
 HOKUM BUNKUM

Public relations bureau of the N. Y. State Medical society, in char acteristically belated effort of the medical society to instruct the pub- lie now distributes canned talks" or lectures which layinen or lay- women, more likely, may give before a club, or newspapers with space to i'll may print, or radio stations may read to fill a short haitus on radio program-and the, beauty of 1t is that no credit need be given to the source of the talk.
 Such a bulletin distributed in January is a bit of sound, funda- mental, popular information"-as in- ded all of the "clu btalks" purport to be, iii this instance on the subject of pneumonia and the common cold.
 The talk" quotes with approval this candid avowal from an article in the one-man health magazine:
 "There is scarcely any disease that doctors know. they know less about, or laymen think they know more about, than the common cold"
 The talk" goes on to say 1t is sometimes hard to determine where to draw the line between common cold and more serious infection, such as influenza.
 shucks, that ought to be easy enough. You simply call 1t "just a cold" in the early stages, no matter what 1t may be. Later, when any damphool knows 1t is influenza or something you need only explain that 1t developed into" or turned to" whatever 1t proves to be.
 It is a great concession on the part of the eminent medical au- thorities to admit that doctors know little or nothing about the coia- mon cold" notwithstanding the prodigious quantity of popular edu- cational stuff they turn out on the subject every season. Next thing we know they'll be telling the whole truth about "the common cold" which is that no such malady exists. Whenever a doctor suggests that a patient has "the common cold" the doctor is guessing 100 per cent. The truth Is that the doctor doesn't know what ails the patient, so, if the patient takes the trick diagnosis without question the doc- tor will string the patient along un- til the nature of the illness becomes manifest. If 1t happens to be a se- rious illness the patient will have forgotten by that time that the doctors first guess was bad.
 Just why do laymen think they know 50 much about "the common cold"? Why, because the doctors, who avowedly know nothing about 1t, devote so much effort, time, space, money to teaching the lay men how to avoid 1t and how to deal with 1t.
 This "club talk" presented to the laymen by the New York State Medical society, conveys the favor- ite old time fancy, long sonce ex- ploded, that "any one of us may harbor germs which, 50 long as our general condition is good will do Us no harm, but. if our resistance is lowered by fatigue or lack of sleep or by 8 change in the blood circu- lation due to wet feet, we may de- velop a common cold without having been recently in contact with any one else suffering with a cold"

Gl0rfing Yourself

 It's sound procedure for the wo- man with an unlimited clothes budget to build her wardrobe around simple dresses and classic suits and coats. For the woman whose budget is extremely limited. it's the ONLY sound procedure. Then she'll never cry: T haven't got 8 thing to wear!"
 Unless you can have several suits, it's a mistake to choose a highly styled little model of which you-not to mention your friends will tire easily. If you can have only one coat, 1t had better be a coat that will go over every dress in your wardrobe.
 Having only two pairs of day shoes presents no problem at all If both are plain, hattering pumps in black, brown or navy blue. How ever, having only two pairs of day shoes can present real problem ib one is rocker-soled and red, the other good with suits but not with dresser or vice versa.
 MAKING THE MOST
 OF ACCESSORIES
 Owning only one dinner dress may make you unhappy after the 1 fifth wearing if the dress is an exotic print. But owning only one dinner dress is no cause at all for elf-pity if the dress is a beauti1 fully cut black, gray or white sheath with which any number of different types of jackets may be worn.
 All of which is not to say that it's a good idea to wear clothes which won't be noticed. The secret of chic lines lies in choosing sim- pie, well-cut dresses and suits and then in knowing how to doll them up with hats and accessories so that the finished ensembles will be distinguished.
 It's much smarter to wear simple shirtwaist dress with crisp white pique collar. plain white gloves and an attention-getting whimsical hat. than to wear a fussy dress, frilly gloves and a dull bon- net. It's always more chic to wear tailored suit and a crazy hat than ] e tailored hat and crazy suit.

WOMAN,S REALM :
Only Woman Highway Contractor Travels A Rocky Road In Doing "Man-Sized Job"
TO STICK TO THEIR HOUSEKE

By NEA Service
 Charleston, w. va-0irls, stick to your knitting and dishwaShing and leave the fnan-St1ed jobs ALONEi
 No cynical male uttered those words. They came from Mrs, Maude Staples of Charleston, w.. Va, who should know what she's talking about, for she is the only woman road contractor in the eEl- tire nation.
 For seven years Mrs. Staples, a small, dark.haired woman, has pitted her knowledge of road con- Struction against that of male con- tractors and she has had plenty of succesS-"much more than l ever expected"
 The only reason that being woman doesn't handicap her much Is the fact that she knows the con- tracting business from top to bot. tom. She speaks in terms of shovels, bulldozers and dynamite with as much familiarity as does the ordinary housewife when talking about canning or knitting. RIGHT ON THE JOB
 DESPITE RAIN
 Her largest and most difficult job was moving nearly four miles of mou1tainstde bordering U. s. Route No. 60 starting a mile above Alloy, w. Va.
 She used & crew of 50 workinefl, including three of her four sons, to move about 5000 yards of dirt and rock a day and make "cuts" in the nountainside more than 150 feet high.
 When Mrs. Staples was inter viewed, 1t was raining hard and the ground was a sea of mud. If you think she was sitting in a comfortable chair in a cozy office near the job, you err. She was hl the center of work.
 Even during the interview she didn't stop working. She contin- ued to issue orders to her man, inspect parts of the job already completed. tell job hunters she was sorry but she had nothing at present. and even got in the mud to direct trafflc through the detour.
 Mrs. Staples did not take over a man -sized job because she was seeking thrills. Necessity forced the choice.
 Her husband, T. 0. Staples, a widely-known road and railroad contractor in Southern West Vir- ginia, died in 1882. And, as dur ing their 22 years of married life, she had worked with him on every one of his jobs, she was determined to carry, on. Contract ing is the only thing I ever knew how to do."
