German armies fastened today
their task of completing the encir-
clement of Moscow and hammers

sion.
While the Nazis closed in on
Moscow from north, west and
south, the range of German artil-
-lefyL was raised and streams OF
shells poured into the citys outer
IdefenSes. At the same time the
Germans announced a heavy night
air raid on the capital-indicating
that with bombs and shells the
lNazis planned to blast Moscow into
stiff ferAer rather than try 10 take
the city of 100000 in a frontal
assault.
The Soviet army newspaper Red
Star admitted that the enemy is
battering his way forward" at the
approaches to Kalinin, 10 miles
northwest of Moscow. But on the
extreme southern front, said the
Russians, the Germans have been
stopped dead on the fringe of the
Sea of Azov after Mariupol was
abandoned by the invaders.
Russian forces have established
new positions east OF Mariupol
after infiicting tremendous losses
on the enemy, it was said. The
Germans are making new prepare
tons before attempting a fresh
attack.
Swedish newspapers in Stock
holm heard that the Germans have
taken Kaluga, 100 miles southwest
Of Moscow.

COMEHOW this particular
, -, cOlumnist always has
~ seemed to cotton up to
the Murphy clan.
In San Francisco i'm early
days there was little Dan
Murphy, a most gentle and
kindly and genial sOul-a
most agreeable and admirable
gentleman.
Everybody was fond of lit
tie Dan, and your cOlumnist
had an especial regard for
him.
Then there was big Dan
Murphy, sometimes known as
Black Dan.
He was big and strong and
virile,-and irrepressible.
He was a fine young Irish
gentleman, tOO-gay, gener-
Gus, gOod-natured, full of life
and wide-awake.
In fact, he was so wide
awake that he never wanted
to go home and go to sleep.
WYE (the editorial we

night with Big Dan at night
club.
Night clubs were night
clubs in those hilarious days.
\ They began one night and
ended the next.
On this occasion it was
about three or four O'Clock in
the morning-either of the
first night or the second
memory fails us.
YeHF eeiHHfifist WAS sleepy.
He had suggested TO Dan
that il was time TO 90 home,
but Dan had contended with
great positiveness that it was
still the shank of the evening.
All argument failing, STRAIT
egy was the only device left.
Excusing himself to Dan

the club, reached the coat

and slipped out of the door.
TSHERE being no cab
available, we started on

and pretty much deserted
street.
I'm a moment we heard
footsteps behind.
Dan had discovered the de-
ception.

to strategy in his turn.

ly wide jump, as laden as I was
with water and as numb as I was
with cold. I missed my foot
ing and landed head down in the
bottom of the lifeboat. I got my
self up with difi1culty because there
were so many people in the boat.
Shortly we had every one In the
rescue boat. My last look at the
water-filled lifeboat showed my little
red alligator bag in the bottom, its
outline blurred a bit in the water.
1t locked very lonesome and hated
to leave 1t to drift. One OF the
rescued men said to me, Lady, I
believe you have run in your stock
ing" I looked down and saw almost
nothing but legs blue with cold.
Each run was about 2 inches wide.
Rescued Man Collapsed.
Very shortly after getting into the
dry boat, a lifeboat with a motor
came out. I now learned that as
soon as the other lifeboat from the
Maasdam had unloaded its people,
the six Norwegian sailors had i'm
mediately taken over and come out
to us. In the meantime a nfeboat
from the tanker with a motor had
been lowered. They threw us a line
and towed us to the far side of the
tanker, going around the stern. I
saw the Maasdam's second officer
on deck. I could almost detect his
blondness in his silhouette against
the ship. He practically followed on
the deck our movements around the
stern of the tanker.
The deck of tanker is extremely
low, but even with that we had diff
ficulty getting out of the boat and
onto the deck. One minute we were
down and the next minute even with
the deck. The movements. however.
were too quick and irregular to be
trusted. A rope ladder was let down
from the rail into the rear of the
boat. I was in the other end. I
was so cold by now that I Won
dered whether or not could walk
to the other end of the boat and
climb up the ladder. I saw one of

another man reached down for me.
was SO glad. I threw my purse
and the one I had found in the
water. over the rail and held up my
arms. They caught my arms, on
one of the upward movements of
the boat, and lifted me up and over
the rail. AS I went up the boat
came up faster than I. 1t jammed
against my feet and I felt it in my
hip joir:s. This caused the two men
to lift me faster and higher. I
landed fiat face down on the deck.
I was numb from exposure and felt
nothing from the impact, even less
than I had felt landing in the life
boat on my head. An engineer from
the Maasdam took me up the stairs
to the deckhouse. I left a trail of
water behind me. He opened a door
and stepped over the threshold.
Here was warmth and light. A fair
haired steward with a Norwegian
accent took me by the hand and
said, Lady, come into my house."

OCHICAGO, jan. 0--(R1-The
nations milling industry 10 ready
to manufacture flour impregnat-

mins-the most revolutionary
step In Is years In the age-old
process Of bread making.
Officials of the Millers Ma
tional Federation said today that
professors throughout the coun-
try are awaiting only promulga-
ton Of official standards re-
visions by the food and drug
administration before they start
to make and market the new
"superflour."
They said that 1t would mark
the first radical change In flour
manufacture since introduction
Of the rolling mill IS years ago
and would rank as one Of the few
major developments In the long
history of the industry, which
goes back to antiquity.
The milling industry hopes
that this new vitasnin- enriched
white -four will stimulate con.
sumption. OF more importance,
however, Is the fact that millers
will be keeping pace with nu-
triuonal research and vitamin
chemistry. II will bring to con-
sumers the fruits Of laboratory
Developments worked out only
recently. The process IL not
patented and will be available
to all makers Of flour.
TO meet public preference for
white flour, millers for years
have been grinding out the germ
and other properties Of the
wheat grain which contain much
Of the vital eiements-thiamin,
riboflavin and nicotine acid.
Scientists have determined that

carrier of essential vitamins and
that IL Is advisable to reintro-
duce them.
Millers, therefore decided "a

minis returned In synthetic form

lowered to Z point 1t which COM
