 The army organ Red Star esti- mated that the Germans had lost upwards of 70 per cent of their ef- fectives and 60 per cent of their materials, but had replaced them. Red Star said p divisions still were attacking-15 of infantry (225,000 men), three motorized divisions and four tank divisions.
 The Germans also were using 800 tanks, 1900 guns, 100 mortars and 800 planes, Red Star estimated.
 "In the Stalingrad area, in fierce fighting, German infantry and tanks suffered heavy losses and re- treated after attacks in which in- fantry split of from the tanks, two of which penetrated the southwest part of a factory when they were disabled by Soviet artillery" the noon communique said. Five Ger man planes were shot down by an- ti-aircraft gunners.
 Northwest of Stalingrad (the theater of Timoshenko's counter offensive) a Soviet unit captured a tactically important height. The Germans attacked on another sec- tor, but were thrown back and one company (200 men) was annihi- lated"

NSSAAbAAANNA free as possible from the influence of yellow journalism" it first must be assumed that the prosecutor is practicing law, not playing politics which is "closer to the root of trouble than any other factor" He said prosecutor interested in clean, fair treatment of a case and his opponent on the defense can deter mine the slant which a trial will take in the public interest. Some Are Statesmen
 For some lawyers" Berge said, high achievement in the courts properly brings public attention, and the legal career naturally serves as a stepping stone to public leader ship. Fortune finds them out. They do not spend their energies tugging at her sleeve, or their voices shout in her ear. These men become statesmen.
 But for others more generously gifted with ambition than ability or devotion to the law the trial court is no more than Q sounding board by which they attempt to enhance their own careers. They are too busy seeing that their names, and the cases which they are try ing, are kept before the public, to make certain that justice is done. These men sometimes become poli- tians. That is their goal.''
 He said 1t was well established that certain treatments of crime news have suggestive effect on irn- questionable readers, radio listeners and movie goerS which accounts for some increase in crime.
 And yet, despite all we have learned about it x some news papers go on printing sensational ized crime news; the radio barks out its imitation of the sawed-od shot, gun; and magazines combining murder, ballistics. pornography and advertisements of loaded dice and youth-reStoring connections are still for sale on the newsstand" he said.
 Describing the American press as the "best press on earth" Berge said:
 ITO attempt the shortcut of for bidding the press, by fiat, to print news, would be a shallow and un- realistic approach to the problem. We cannot tell newspaper or magazine editor that he must re- frain from being sensational in his handling of news. He has a con- stitutional right to be sensational if he wishes"

WIDESPREAD ARRESTS FOR
SPEEDING IN VIRGINIA

Colonel Marion S. Battle, director
of the Division of Motor Vehicles, an
nounced this week that widespread
arrests had been made recently
throughout the state in the interest
of enforcement of the states new
40-mile-per-hour speed limit. While
bus and truck drivers have been the
chief offenders, many passenger car
drivers also have been caught in the
tolls of the new law. In commenting
on the bus drivers, Col Battle said
they showed "a complete lack of eff
fort to conform to the new limitation"
The majority of offenders were
travelling at from fifty to sixty miles
per hour when caught, but drivers
operating at speed not in excess of
As miles per hour were permitted to

There were times when death
seemed to be a tangible thing to him,
something 10 be fought less with
drugs than by sheer will power. He
would not dare to relax. When, as
happened once or twice, he dozed out
of pure exhaustion, Death crept up;
then he would rouse, shake himself,
and win the battle.
I'm going to die, Doctor"
Nonsense. Well fight this out and
win"
He did win sometimes. 1t never
occurred to him that he was uncon-
sciously drawing on anything beyond
himself for his strength. The human
body was still pure chemistry to him.
AS he matured he was to see it as
pure chemistry plus life, and to re-
member some words of Bergman's a
few months before he died.

lege to kill my belief m any sort OF

Chris seldom went to the hospital
during that first month. Then one
day he did go in, to find Nettie Simp-
son looking old and tired, and to rea-
lie that they represented the two
ends of long trail.

soon?" she said.
81 get cold chill every time l

He grinned and held out his long
surgeons hands. To his immense sur
prise he found that they were I'M
steady and he stared at them. "Must
be smoking too much," he said sheep
ishly. "Been keeping up on coffee
and tobacco. I'd better cut down a
bit"
She eyed him, but she did not men
ton his hands.
Glow is it going now? And what
are you learning out of it all?"
He was silent for long minute.

Glow are you living? Are you be-
ing looked after?"
"I'm all right Not too good, not
too bad:
1t was probably, she thought, pretty
bad; and in the end she made him
tell her the story of his home life.
She was thoughtful when he had fin
ished.
"You can't go on indefinitely like
this, Chris"
NO." he said. "No, 1 suppose not.
But 1 happen to be Gods gift to two
women at the moment, and" he
smiled smiled-"if you know any
other answer, don't"

He stretched and got up. 81 don't
suppose that has entered her head"
he said. Rather a pretty head it is,
too! No, the general idea seems to
be that we carry on as is"
She sat still for a long time after
he had gone. She was still sitting
there when an assistant brought in
some requisition slips, and she signed
them absently.
1t was that day that Chris met
Annie Lewis in the hospital, leaving
after board meeting, and found her
holding out her hand.
"Why, Doctor Ardent" she said.
"Have you deserted us entirely? Or
was Eliza our only attraction"
She was smiling, and he tried to
smile back.

went up to Nick and said, Hey, you Nick.
Milly waits on you for two Saturdays now
and you don't show up. Why you do that,
huh?" Red had always been sweet on Milly.
Nick said unpleasantly, What business is
it of yours?"
Il make it my business. She is nice girl,
Milly.'
Sure she is"
Then why you treat her bad?"
Il decided to put her back in circulation"

That was lot of money. don't suppose
any other man in camp had half that much.
But they covered it, ten dollars to man.
Then Nick and Red squared off.
1t was good fight. Red was SLOW but he
could splinter door with either fist, and had
the weight to wear ordinary men down. Nick
Kirk fought like man who has to win quick

are scarce right now, mister and I'm told the
army needs lumber"
He was right. You have to build the camps
before you can pour soldiers into them. The
pressure was on us for doubled production.
And we had a crew of has-beens and misfits
that we're giving me the horrors.

plenty hard for lot less than you're getting,
and they don't beef"
That's their hard luck" retorted Nick
Kirk. I'm smart"
Smart wasn't the word. This man got what
he wanted every time. Like the night he went
to town for little relaxation, and drifted
over to Harkin Hall, to the dance. Milly
MacAndrew was there.
MILLY is nineteen and the prettest thing
that ever happened to the Tumbling River
country Her dad kept store and sold US
good part of our supplies. With eleven camps
running full blast. Milly had more men after
her than there are whiskey-jacks around a
lumber camp kitchen.
Nick Kirk went up to her and asked her to
dance.
Sure" she said, laughing at him. IF I've
got any feet left after the rest of the boys get
through with me. They asked first
Nick said solemnly. Il may not live that
long. Well dance now" He put his arm
about her and led her out on the floor. Milly
was too surprised to resist. After few min
utes she didn't want to resist Had she looked
to any of the boys for help, Nick would have
had scrap on his hands, but Mlly didn't
look - except sort of shyly, and then right
up into Nick's face.
Your new" she said. will you be COM
ing to town every Saturday night?"
Sure" He grinned.
After the first few times. they didn't meet
at the dance hall any more. Nick would 60 to
the store for her. If he took her to the dance,
they left early and went off together, just
the two of them. The boys didn't resent it.
A girl as pretty and full of life as Milly was
bound to take up with someone steady sooner
or later. and Nick Kirk was good lumber
man. He wasn't liked, but neither was he dis
liked. Milly was old enough to know what she
