There are small flaps inside the

men who buy covert coats want

Appliqued Design
Suppose you have a little Scotch
cap or any one OF the many skull
cap types Of hats. You can bring
1t right up to date by placing at
the front an appliqued motif Of
stars and stripes made quickly
with the zigzagger attachment in
the sewing machine kit.
Cut out q triangle Of material
TO At across the front OF the peak.
On 1t. place three wing shaped
strips Of red. white and blue rib
bon. each about l inch wide.
With the zigzagger. applique the
three strips to the triangular
piece. SO that the sides just touch.
Cut out q small star OF white felt,
center 1t above the strips and
again use the ZigZagger to ap-
plique the star to the fabric.
Garry out this same idea for

II you have q Breton type OF
hat, try putting q draped and

headband. A straight piece OF
rayon jersey will do the trick for
you. Just finish of the raw edges

Complete Pedicure
Although toenails do not grow
quite so fast as the f%ngernails, it's
good plan to include q complete
pedicure in one Of your weekly
foot treatments. Use an orange
stick tipped with cotton soaked in
cuticle remover to soften stubborn
cuticles and callouses after the feet
have been soaked. Use toenail
clippers or manicure scissors to
shorten the nails or. better still,
use q fine steel file or an emery
Use soapy cotton on an orange

Use Special Soap

special soap. There's a perfectly
swell one that's graduated.

warm water for ten minutes. then
shake the granulated soap over
them. Use the fingers to work the
soap thoroughly ove the feet. be-
tween the toes. into the soles and
arches OF the feet, massaging the
while with rotary and upward
strokes.
The special soap plus the mas
sage not only loosens the soil and
secretions from the oil glands. but
also stimulates the circulation
and exercises the intricate ten
dons and muscles that reach from
the tips Of your toes to your hips
and form your walking apparatus.
When your feet feel warm and
glowing from this treatment. rinse
in warm water. then plunge into
a cold bath or use an icy cold
stream from the hand spray to
further stimulate and tone the
tissues.

Of warfare, the German invasion
armies were reported to have knitted
deeply into both ends of the 200
mile battlefront, registering a 60
mile advance toward Leningrad in
the north and driving ever nearer
to the Black Sea.
The Moscow radio said Red air
force planes had dropped many high
explosive and fire bombs on military
objectives in Berlin last night and
that all but one plane returned
safely
The pilots who returned reported
seeing large fires.
The two Russian corps COM
manders and the two division COM
manders were among the latest pris-
oners brought into German camps
in the Ukraine. German sources
said.
Four thousand slain Russians were
said to have been buried at one in
tersection German planes were re-
ported pouring destruction on high
ways jammed with troops.
London Reports Mani Gains.
Authoritative quarters in London
said that two Naz columns striking
toward Odessa from the north and
west were making very considerable
progress" and that the important
wheat center of Nikolaev, 80 miles
northeast of Odessa. was imperiled.

quarters said already may have

emily speeding operations to pinch
off the vast Ukraine granary before
the September rains begin.
A bulletin from Hitler's field head
quarters asserted that pursuit OF
the retreating enemy in the Ukraine
is progressing rapidly everywhere. y
Na1 officials declared that Mar
shal Budyenny's Red Army Of the

tire Dnieper bend, the vast and fer
tile plateau southeast of Kiev.

Lake linen lies east of Soltsi,
which is 120 miles south of Lenin-

break through from the old Pskov
battlefield.
Nevertheless, the Russians de-
clared that their armies, reinforced
by a rising tide of militia, were
holding firmly against the German

Court Studying F. C.. c.
Action Against StuhImon

District Court Justice James w.
Morris this afternoon took under
advisement an application for an
order requiring James G. Stahlman,
Nashville (TennD publisher and
past president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
to testify before the Federal Com
munications Commission in its in
quiry into newspaper ownership of
radio stations.
The jurist. who is expected to give
his decision before Saturday, heard
arguments of more than an hour
and a half by Thomas E. Harris,
assistant general counsel for r. C.
c., and Elisha Hanson. general
counsel for the publishers associa-
ton.
Mr.. Stahlman had refused to ap-
pear before the commission on the
advice of Mr.. Hanson. The COM
mission hearing is in recess until
September II.
Mr.. Hanson's main contention was
that the commission did not have
authority to investigate such a sub
iect and therefore the inquiry was
illegal.
