FIERCE ATTACKS

The peoples armies engaged In
mobile warfare in North China
have during the past year borne
the brunt Of some of the fiercest
assaults since the beginning Of the
war.
Before these attacks were beaten
off, the Chief of Staff of the Eighth
Route Army and many high-rank-
ing commanders were killed. Head
quarters were subjected to raids,
and generals took up rifles. Work
ers left their factories and joined
the soldiers.
Everyone, whatever his normal
activity. became a combatant. Many
newspapermen and several artists
and playwrights with the army
died in action. But the attacks
were repulsed. with losses TO the
enemy Of $4,000 men.
Through all the cruel difficulties
of warfare in the rear of the enc
my's main lines, the guerrilla fight
ers have been noted for the coura-
geous efforts they have made TO
give their wounded the best pos
sible care.
Now they have more wounded
than ever before. The Fur and
Leather Workers contribution will
provide 200 additional beds and will
save the lives of thousands of men.

Voracious Reading Yank
Fools His Tent Mates

Laugh Of the week il on tive sol

Bill Cooper and Ed Cohen. When
the pair was trankterred for the
summer from barracks to tents, they
held conference, decided their tent
would be more eozy II At IfaH ne
OF their bunkmates received regular
packages Of food from home. Lest
way they could think Of to And just
the man to I'LL the bill in this re-
spect was to watch the package list
put up every day outside the mail
room. For several days thsy studied
the list, finally settled on one Pri-
vate Sam Dunbar, who, they noted.
received packages every day with
out fail. He looked like q bonanza.
So they preached to Dunbar the
idea of moving in with them. Dun
bar became convinced, made neces-
sary arrangements to transfer his
quarters. Cohen and Cooper, jubi-
liant. could hardly wait for the boxes
and packages to roll in. The first
morning Dunbar produced a newly
arrived package, and proceeded to
unwrap it as his buddies stood wait
ing expectantly. The bundles, far
from what they expected. contained
hardly crumb of food, only maya
zines and newspapers from home.
Dunbar it turns out, is a voracious
reader!

Fathers Kind Act Nets

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO.-An act of
kindness performed by Mrs. Bertha
Becker Fish's father SO years ago
paid dividends amounting to $l75,-
600.
When David Stockscalder, his
wife and seven children, ran out of
money while attempting to drive
from New York to California in a
wagon drawn by a team of horses,
they stopped at ]. A. Becker's home
near Springfield. That was in 1905.
Becker and his family sized up
the situation and took the Stock
scalders into their home, fed and
sheltered them for nearly three
months. When his confidence was
restored and his family well and
happy once more, Stockscalder de-
cided to continue westward.
Friends are few, find in nv
travels" Stockscalder vowed as he
left the Becker home. Some day.

Hemline No Headache When
Cotton Attire Is Worn

Hot weather never kept a Utter
bug from dancing, but this summer
dancing can be done in gowns so
cool as to be almost air-conditioned.
Cotton party frocks were never
lovelier, sheerer, or more becom-
ing. From fairy-like flower prints Of
faintest hue to vivid tropical col
ors, cottons give a girl occurrences
or dash, depending upon the effect
she wants.
Besides being cool, a cotton party
dress gives its wearer a carefree
mind If the hemline gathers soil
from the floor, or if perspiration FL
tiers into the underarm section, the
dress requires only good launder-
ing to make it clean and fresh again.
No worry lest a dirty hemline put
f1oor-length dress out of commits
sion, for with washable cotton little
soap and water provides the rem
edy.
There is another thrifty angle TO
many cotton gowns. If made SIM
ply, with modest neckline and cap
sleeves. the cotton gown can be cut
to street length and worn as an
afternoon dress when its life as a
party dress is over. Material cut
from the skirt may be used to
make an extra blouse or short
jacket.

British Find Out
About Americans
Air Ministry Gives Advice
To Cadets in Training.

NEW YORK.-Tap an American
and he may turn on you with war
whoop, a Rotarian grip or a frater-
nifty YELL
But don't be surprised at anything
he does, says the British air minis
try, because the melting pot has
been cooking for a long time and
many new things have been added
He likes to gamble and fight.
He is curious, generous, violent,
talkative and unreserved.
He stalks the dollar with the
ferocity his ancestors used in ga'h-
ering redskin scalps.
He leaves culture along with
child-bearing to his women.
That's an American, the British
ministry informs Royal Air force
cadets headed here for training.
The American is so many things
it is sometimes hard to understand
him, the ministry indicates in its
pamphlet-portrait for the guidance
Of the British f1ierS about to rub
elbows with strange species.
1.-The average American has in
herited something of the tradition
Of the American Indian. There is
the same preliminary war dance
and concurrent excitement, the
same love of violent action and no
less violent speech, the same war
cries, the same concentration on the
scalp as the object of expedition.
The American is unpredictable,
the ministry continues, because
"out of the mixture of races from
which he derives his personality, he
is more European than any Euro
pean."
Not only that, he lives in "a vast
and fabulous country where the
northeast is rather like the British
Isles, the deep southeast like the
tropics, the Middle West an en-
pire richer than Germany and the
Ukraine put together, Texas very
similar to southern Brazil and
Uruguay, California and southern
Oregon like parts of Australia"
