Rains and Roads
Help to SlOlU Ndzis

II is admitted that desperate To-
cal resistance. attacks on German
supply columns in the rear by dis
lpersed Soviet troops hiding in the
forests together with heavy rains
and impossible roads had slowed
the German advance.
German sources say tho next
survey of operations by the Ger
man high command will reveal
capture Of around half a million
Red prisoners and capture or de-
Istruction of more than $500 tanks
and armored cars, over S.400
planes and more than $500 guns

ALMOST certain TO be forced into
the foreground by events. The
eyes of the British imperial gen
Ieral staff are repeatedly conferred
on the Baku oil fields and Batum,
the Black Sea oil center
The fall of Moscow would GER
tainly give strong impetus to
plans to prevent Batum and BakI
from falling into Hitler's hands
by a German attack across HE
Black Sea and landings at Batum.

Lost BattdHOnS
Battle Desperately

In the forests, swamps, steppes
and vast spaces between northern
Lake Ladoga and KleV in the
South there are many lost bat
talions" and lost divisions" bat
ting desperate last stands" that
leave nothing TO the imagination
of Hollywood scenario writers.
If the Soviet Front is as badly
shattered as the German high
command indicates, and the Red
armies are fighting on their own
in encircled positions without a
co-ordinated front, it is doubtful
lie Moscow has clear picture of
what is going on in the Central
Front.
There is increased mention of
women Amazon attachments and
youths and unframed recruits
among the prisoners. The Germans
are propagandistically exploiting
the capture of Jacob Stain, son
of the Red dictator.

which picked us up. We sent
up our last distress rocket be-
fore they saw us. They had 10
carry US from the boat because
we were so weak. When we got
aboard we asked if we were near
Greenland They said we were
200 miles Offshore About three
hours before we were picked up
the British gunner In the life

appeared TO be going insane for
several hours. Then finally he
broke and started raving. The

with which the War Department

CHAPTER TwENTY-EIGHT

COLD DREAMING her face,
dressing thoughtfully, Kit decided
that she would talk plainly to
Jerry.
She went on deck and sought
him at once. But, when she came
to him, there were others there
with him and it was not the mo-
ment to break in on his pleasure.
1t was that way all day.
1t was a glorious day meant for
holiday mood.
The sunset and the races and
the champagne cocktails marked
the end Of it. And when it was
over, Kit felt a little foolish about
her anxiety, and ashamed that she
would have been so selfish as to
spoil Jerrys day by asking him to
tell her things that might have
made her unhappy.
II wouldn't be necessary to speak
to Jerry anyway. Fran would tell
her all the truths she wanted to
know.
But Fran was not to tell her any,
thing that next morning.
Kit burst into her apartment the
morning Of her return, saying, 1T
was grand, Fran-but-Ive got a
few things to talk over with you"
Fran's eyes darted to the clock,
and Kit became aware for the first
time Of Frans suitcase.
1--WE got to go to Detroit"
"Who? What? ?"
Uncle Herman. He's had q
stroke. I'm his favorite niece and
well, you've heard me speak about
him plenty"
Our pet? OF course I've heard
you speak about Uncle Herman
And I'm terribly sorry"
He was awfully real to me when
was a kid. He looked pretty
funny with his gold tooth and his
barbershop roll. But I thought he
was Santa Claus and all the angels
He was the only one I ever knew
When you're a kid who had as lit
tie as 1 had, you don't forget the
Uncle Hermans in your life. He al
ways had a little candy in striped
bag. He gave me a doll once Will

Kit felt a lump in her throat
"Quit II, Fran. I'll bet he isn't badl,
hit at all and you're working your
self up. But 90 and stay just a.
long as you want to. What tim
does your train leave?"
"Noon sharp ..

Indian Formula Used
to Forecast Weather

Orange. Mass. Jan. 1I-UP -
William F. Hudson uses an old In.
dian magic formula" in making
his annual long-range winter fore
cast. He says Of 55 yearly predic-
lions. so have been accurate.
Here's his system:
Find out when the first quarter
OF the October moon occurs. Count
the number of bright stars that
appear to the naked eye to be To-
Gated about 80 feet from all sides Of
the moon. Look for a dull star
above six inches from bright star.
The brilliance of this extra star
will determine whether there will
be one storm or less than the
number OF bright stars.
Hudson says according to the
stars this year there will be ap-
proximately &c storms in which
enough snow will fall for dog Or
cat tracks to show.
