EAST AFRICA NOW
 OUT OF FIGHTING
Duke of Aosta Has Given Thanks to British for
 Saving Lives
By WALTER COLLINS United Press Staff Corresponder


 Cairo, April 7-(UP)-A general headquarters communique today said that the occupation of Ethi- opia was continuing rapidly but that British empire forces had fal- len back again before strong Ger man-Italian attacks in Libya.
 Resumption of the British with drawal from advance lines in 1tal- ian Libya coincided with develop ments in East Africa which indi. cated that complete pacification of Italian territory in that area was near.
 Ethiopian patriot forces" occu- | pied the town of Debranlarcos, which Is northeast of Addis Abara, the communique said.
 Operations around Massawa (important Italian port in Eritrea on the Red Sea) are developing" |" the commmique added.
 Meanwhile, our advance toward Dessie and Gondar is continuing satisfactorily"
 The British said that since March IS they had captured more than 10000 prisoners in Eritrea. Important Victory
 (The importance of the pacifica- ton of East Africa as regards the entire war, is greater than is ap- parent or the surface. In Wash- ington last Friday, President Roosevelt hinted that when fighting had ceased in East Africa, he would lift his designation of the area as "a combat zone". This would mean that American ships could haul materials through the Red Sea as far as the Suez Canal, 8 tremen- dous aid to hard-pressed British shipping)
 Two Italian armies still were re- sisting the British empire forces in what, until few months ago, was Italian East Africa. One was fiee- ing northward from Addis Abara, which the British forces occupied Saturday evening, hotly pursued. The other was fleeing southward from Eritrea into Ethiopia, also hotly pursued. It appeared that the two armies would meet in the region between Dessie and Gondar, perhaps for last stand. Together they numbered perhaps 100000 men.
 When the empire army reached Addis Ababa Saturday evening, an Italian officer approached under @ flag of truce. He said he had Q message from the Duke of Aosta, governor general of Italian East Africa, to Gen. A. c. Cunningham, the British commander. He de- livered this message orally: "His royal highness, the Duke of Aosta, wishes to express his appreciation of the initiative taken by Gen. Wavell and Gen. Cunningham re- garding the protection of the women and children of Addis Ababa, thereby demonstrating that strong bonds of humanity and race still exist between our nations"
 The tone of this communication. which seemed to go beyond ordi- nary military courtesy, was marked here.
 Sunday morning. the British army entered the capital and found approximately 10000 Italian civil- ians. The bulk of the Italian de- lenders had fled.

Where Movie Sfars Get Their Wigs

the hair not to mention the tint.
The hair is put through sani-
tary process. fumigated, and
punched according To color and
grade, and then sent through the
American customs with certifi-
Gates of sanitation. After the
hair arrives in Hollywood it is
made into wigs by slow and
painstaking process. Each indi-
vidual hair is separately tied into
the wig mating. thus requiring
from 10000 to 10000 operations
before a good grade of hair piece
is completed. and it takes most
wig-makers from two to three
weeks to finish a piece, starting
from scratch.
Stephanoff explains that wigs
made for the personal use of the
stars are allotted to their use as
long as they are needed. When
these become shoddy from excess
sive use they are relegated to the
character class, which means
they will be used thereafter by
extras and bit players.

whose hedge they had crashed.
The house was owned by an
American bank manager, Mr..
Williams. He came followed by
Radcliffe, who had dropped In
for drink.
There's been an accident"
June cried. Can we take Mr..
Wood into your house. Mr.. Will
iams2 He's been shot"
Lord bless my soul, she's
right" Radcliffe said in alarm,
while Mr.. Williams murmured::
Come into the house, Wood. Take
my arm. Ill telephone Doctor
Saunders"
June almost tainted once they
got into the brightly lit hall at
the sight of the blood on Ashley's
coat. She cried out sharply and
would have run to him if Mrs.
Williams, who had come in, had
not restrained her and led her
into the drawing-room.
Mr.. Williams came in presently
to say that the wound wasn't
serious. Doctor Saunders would
take Ashley to his hotel.
He coughed and added: "Oh,
and by the way, Wood doesn't
want anything said about this. I
said / thought it was matter
for the police, but he was most
emphatic that nothing should be
done about it. don't blame him
in a way. The police here are
precious little use, if any"
June was suddenly remember
ing what Ashley had said the
previous morning in his hut. "A
hit on the bean on a dark night is
a very effective silencer." Well,
ii hadn't been a hit on the head,
but shot fired from a black
limousine. She felt icy cold, and
her heart seemed to stop beating.
She saw him for a few mo-
ments before Doctor Saunders
took him back to his hotel. He
was making light of it, saying:
Some drunken fools of natives
shooting at random" But he
winked at June and she almost
burst into tears. Someone was
out for Ashley's life. This time
they hadn't been successful, but
supposing next time.

many as 600 odd wigs and other
hirsute adornments for the prin-
cipals and extras in the average
big picture.
r. These wigs are made by strict
regulation of natural hair Their
value ranges from 500 up each.
This is the minimum price set on
hair pieces for general use. Those
which adorn the stars some
times run as high as $1,000.
Stephanoff says the best hair
comes from the European peas
ants for the reason that these
people come of virile stock Their
hair is extremely healthy.
American hair buyers collect
their harvestJat least once year,
and in some cases contract espe-
cially fine specimens for their

after are the natural blondes of
Central Europe and those of the
Scandinavian countries, whose
tresses bring as high as $3.50 TO

The little Frenchwoman burst
into a peal of laughter,

suffering the pangs OF disap-
pointed love and that these pangs
were new to her didn't make
them any the less intense.
1t had been new and shatter-
ing experience to find herself
watching the clock as the minutes
crawled by, waiting for Ashley.
If she hadn't had some remnants
of pride she wouldn't have faced
the dinner table at all.
Peter came back a few min
utes before dinner was served. He
looked tired and grim, but he told
them that the mechanics report
about the plane had been, on the
whole, optimistic. The man
would arrange to get it back to
Princeville where he thought ii
could be repaired.
But it's bound to take a week
or ten days TO fix it," he said.

and collect a few specimens to
take back to New York with me-"
But Peter, you're not thinking

Something in his look tore her
out Of her absorption in her own
disappointment. Instinctively she
moved toward him. But i don't
want you to go so soon," she said.

marked cattily.

Sandra went up 10 her room.
When her anger had cooled she
felt little alarmed at what she
had said. She had told Felicite
that the engagement between
Peter and herself was off, when it
wasn't definitely. She had also
intimated that she might marry
Ashley. Surely that was non
sense? But suddenly she knew in
her heart it wasn't nonsense. She
had always known her own mind;
now she knew she was going TO
marry Ashley because she was
terribly in love with him.
She tried TO think what she
