The British eighth army has stop

ger divisions into Egypt and sent
the enemy Keeling back in retreat.
A general attack on FL Alamein
on July was repulsed." the Middle
East high command announced to-
day. THE enemy suffered losses
and withdrew to the west. British
positions remain intact"
This brief communiqUe was the
first definitely encouraging report
from British headquarters since
Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
battered down the defenses OF To-
bruk nearly two weeks ago and
launched the spectacular Smash
which carried nearly $50 miles to-
wards Alexandria and SueZ.
But in the past As hours the con-
fident Axis hordes have beaten fut.
ilely at the imperial defense line
stretching IS miles across a narrow
desert pass. The reinforced eighth
army. deployed from the coastal
escarpment at FL Alamein south
10 the edge OF the impossible Qat-
tara marshes, has amply justified
the strategy OF Gen. Sir Claude
Auchinleck who took over active
command June 25 when Rommel's
tank columns rumbled across the
Libyan border and drove deep into
Egypt.
Fights at Rear
He fought only rearguard actions
while the main body Of his army
withdrew to the positions he had
chosen to fight the decisive battle
for Egypt. Meantime reinforce
ments were called in from the Mid
die East, and every available
fighter plane and bomber and tank
was rushed to Egypt to strengthen
his weary, battered forces.
At one stage of the fighting yes
terday British columns got through
the Axis lines near the Quattara
marsh and attacked the enemy's
flank and rear. Reports reaching
Cairo said the British were attack
ing with everything they have.
The Axis report on the battle OF
Egypt was limited to the lame and
laconic Italian claim that opera
tons are developing favorably east
ward OF FL Alamein."
Bomb Bremen
II was a generally encouraging
day for the United Nations, battl-
ing grimly and desperately on ell
fronts. The Raj again bombed
Bremen with "a powerful force"
and started large fires in this oft
bombed port. The admitted loss
OF 10 planes indicated that at least
800, possibly more. participated in
the raid 1t was the fifth assault
on Bremen in less than a month.
On the Russian front the Soviets
have launched IAN exceptionally
vigorous counter-attack southeast
OF Kharkov in the direction of Bud
yenovka, the Vichy radio reported.

Peach Situation
Becoming Serious

RED BLUFF, Calf, Sept. 7 -
UP)-Roy Breese, Tehama county
orchardist and head of the state
decidious fruit department, de-
clared today that California dried
peach growers face disaster" un-
til the government readjusts its
present price ceilings.
He said the present price of ID
cents a pound for packer grade
peaches was "ruinous." Breese sug-
gested prices of standard dried
peaches be advanced to 171a cents
per pound, and extra fancy to 1917
cents a pound.
He blamed increased processing
and labor costs for the gap be-
tween grower costs and government
ceiling prices.

POWDER DOESN'T MIX
WITH FACTORY WORK

She suggests washing your face
with soap at night, then applying
the lotion for cleaning and soften
ing; using the same lotion instead
of soap in the morning and during
the day. 1t is a good base for
powder-but, by the way, this ex-
pert cautions against using much
powder for work in a grimy place.
The lotion contains lanolin, keeps
both normal and dry skin soft, and
helps to make dirt come off easily.
For oily skins, there's a lotion
containing tar and resorcin, pack
aged similarly. This is to be used
in the same routine as is employed
with normal skin-unless the skin
is extremely oily in which case
soap should be eliminated.

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
RV, ALICIA HART
BY, ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

Going back to school, office, or
a war production job with renewed
determinatin to keep your skin in
condition-but swiftly:
Then, take a look at some new
miniature key beauty essentials
which alert houses are offering.
These small handles reflect globe
trotter's appreciation of the impor-
tance of travelling light for eff
cheney.
One Ninth Avenue maker of su-
perfine skin preparations wraps up
five products in a beauty kit that's
small enough to keep near you, in
desk drawer, locker, even in your
pocketbook.
There's a light non-greasy liquid
that works like a blotter with CRIME
on the face. Another vial holds a
reviver which "blushes" and two
other lotions to dress the skin with
a delicate flnlSh. An emolllent Is
included for nighttime use. Five
eight ounce bottles-enough for a
few weeks.
Another house employs the little
bottle idea in a practical home
and-work arrangement. Here,
six-ounce bottle of cleansing and
finishing lotion has, slung over its
shoulder. a one-ounce bottle of the
same lotion. The big bottle is de-
signed to stay at home; the little
one, to go with you to work. With
any mild soap and this one prep
aration, says the Czech pharmacist
who makes it, adequate cleansing
and protection can be accomplished.
