inexpensive Cosmetic Gifts
Are Certain TO Please,
BY DONNA GRACE

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING will
not be done in the usual lavish
way but those we see in the
crowded stores are just as en-
thusiastic and excited as ever.
We have never had such a
fine variety of small inexpensive
things as at this time. For in
stance, an exquisite cake of June
Geranium soap trim m d in
bright red frosting with a real
candle in the center, and a whole
dram of fine perfume will be
found tucked away in an erInine
trimmed red velvet boot, all en-
cased in a holly and ribbon-tied
cellophane box.
A jolly bewhiskered little
Santa, who rolls his eyes, sits on
top of fragrant box Of busting
powder.
Red ribbons, tinkling bells and
colored stars decorate a silver
cornucopia that holds a shining
lucite lipstick.
A perennial favorite is busting
powder topped with soap in the
same scent. They are encased
in transparent cellophane and
tied with pink silk ording.
There are several varieties of
this package in different per-
fumes and all easy to buy.
Cologne
Girls who love to carry purse
bottles of Gardenia or Blue
Grass will find it in a tree orna-
ment. a red and silver star. The
perfume comes through a
sprinkler top.
A cleaning oval shaped COM
pact with a delicate fan en-
graved on the cover especially
for initials, goes with a jumbo
lipstick. All of these articles are
popular gifts and can be pur-
chased for from $1.50 to SIS.
Over Five Dollars
A little further up the price
scale will be found many more
lovely things. For instance,
pine needle Christmas tree COW
cred with pink netting. Ball,
stars and a red satin bow dec
crate the tree which holds five
gifts - rouge, eye shadow. lip
stick and sachet.
Fitted cases are always an
Ideal gift, and so is a gorgeous
bottle Of fine perfume. Both of
these elegant I Kings come in

lenses in the Mozdok area of the eastern Caucasus for the past few days and had advanced slightly, but had been checked.
 The German objective in this area was the Grozny oil fields, 85 miles southeast of Mozdok. The enemy opened powerful drive to- ward them, simultaneous with the new drive in northwest Stalingra&.
 Cavalry in Action
 "In the Mozdok area, Soviet arttl- lery disabled four tanks, destroyed eight vehicles and dispersed and wiped out two companies" the noon communique said. Cavalry, in 8 night raid on Q cality, wiped out more than 100 Germans"
 Advancing southeast of Novoros- sisk, the Black Sea naval base, Rus sian forces killed 1,500 more Ru- manians and Germans, a total Of 2,OOO reported killed in the last 24 hours. Novorossisk fell to the Ger mans about three weeks ago. German air attacks on Leningrad increased, perhaps presaging a new German effort to take that city which has been under siege more than year.

throwers, machine guns and hun- dreds of tommy gunners.
 The Russians stormed the area from various points, hurled hand grenades through the windows, set wooden sheds on fire and Systemat- ically reduced each house.
 Tanks Lead Attacks
 Germa1rstanks then began series of seven-counter attacks, with the support of large attachments of tommy gunners. The houses. after changing hands dozens of times. disappeared to their foundations. Both sides suffered immense losses, but the Germans were checked, the Russians held all their positions.
 "In the Stalingrad area, the Ger mans, trying to break into our posi- tions, attack with a considerable number of tanks" the Soviet noon communique said. "Tank busters and artillery destroyed eight. Two. which penetrated, were set on fire with fuel bottles. The enemy lost 200 men and withdrew.
 Northwest of Stalingrad (the area of the Russian counter -offen- sive) Soviet guardsmen attacked and cleared the enemy from a height, killing 300 Germans. Soviet artillery destroyed two tanks and 18 dugouts and silenced enemy mor- tars."
 Red Star reported that 250 Ger man tanks and three motorized al visions (perhaps 30,000 to 45,00O men) had been hammering at de-

WAR MAY DELAY l
 DIVORCE SUITS
NOn-Resident Aliens Are Named in Action Unable
 tO Appear or Respond

Unless "a nonresident alien who is sued for divorce indicates his iIa- tention not to contest the action, motion for placing the. action on the uncontested list in accordance with the regular court procedure may be denied, Judge John Rufus Booth told a gathering of lawyers in superior court today at the start of the short calendar session. His conn ments were offered as explanation of the procedure which he said many individuals questioned.
 Under court rules 9 divorce action may be placed on the contested list if the defendant does not file ata answer within specified time. Judge Booth explained that notice by publication of a pending divorce action, the method approved by the court where service of papers Is im- possible, is insufficient in many cases where the defendant resides in country at war with the United States. Even if service of papers should be made to the defendant in a foreign country, he added, there may be no way for him to make a defense or get word out of the country.
 Because of the complications in- volved where the defendant is a resident of 8 foreign country, Judge 1 Booth said each case would have to be handled "on its own feet" He said that in some cases the court would not be able to give attention until after the war is over. That opinion was expressed by state judges at recent meeting, he ] added.

WAGE DEMANDS
 IN R. I. DENIED

Washington, Oct. 2-(UP)-De- mands of workers in two Rhode Island companies for wage increases have been denied by the War Labor Board because the workers already had received IS per cent rises since Jan. l and because their wages were not substandard or unequal.
 The cases were:
 The Rhode Island Malleable Iron Works, Hillsgrove, R. l., where the United Steelworkers of America (CIO) was demanding general wage increase.
 Metals Processing Co, Philipsdale, R. l., where the International Hod- carers and Building Laborers union (AFL) was demanding five-cent- an-hour increase.

BRITISH TROOPS
 REFUSE ATTACK

Continued srom Page D planes, attacking enemy Stuka dive bombers escorted by their own light CTS, forced the enemy craft to Jetti- son their bombs on German troops.
 At least six of the enemy planes were shot down and many were damaged, it was said. There were no Allied losses.
 A large force of Allied medium bombers made direct hits on ships at Tobruk, the big Axis base on the Libyan coast, Wednesday night, the communique said, and long range fighters successfully attacked enemy transport near sidi Barrani on the Egyptian side of the frontier. Two fighters are missing.
 The Stukas which the enemy threw into action were trying to support their ground troops in the Manassib fighting.

Landlord Aids
 Family or Men
 Called To Duty

George J. McDuff, area rent administrator, today granted permission to reveal the names of Joseph and Helen Lukasiew- ski of S3 Wood @treet as the landlords who earlier this week were given permission to low CT a tenants rent to a sum below that allowed under the maximum rent regulations. The couple petitioned the rent control office for permission to take $50 rent from the ten- ant, Alex Radomski, instead of S34 as allowed under law be- cause MT. RadOmski's family had been reduced by three members through entrance in- to military service.
 The patriotic motive of the landlords was approved and the Wood street property owners became the first WateFburianS to have lowered their rent be- low the sum permitted by rent regulations.

 Organizers Attacked
 President Dennis McGrath and Secretary Neil Griffin of the Scovill local subsequently, attacked the three paid organizers who directed the Scovill membership drive, Al Skin ner, William Quill and Jack Fla herty. The organizers, in turn, charged that an ''unprincipled" campaign was being waged against them on the false issue Of fred batting.
 MT. McGrath and MT. Griffin have stated that they will fight any attempt at Communist domination of their local. MT. McGrath has criticized the failure of the organ izers to start negotiations for a contract with the Scovill Manufac- turing Company, where the union won a major victory in an NLRB election last summer.
 Latest Statement
 The statement by MT. Stanton, MT. Napoli and MT. Maxwell fol- lows:
 There have been 8 number of attacks made by various individuals for their own particular motives on President Reid Robinson of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union. We feel that the record ot President Robinson and our union under his leadership, needs no de- fense against such interruptions at- tacks.
 Reid Robinson has often been called ''red"-and always by the agents of the employers who op- posed the organization of their em- ployes. However, his record oi achievements on behalf of workers in our industry speaks for itself The achievements of our union speak for itself. for themselves But, for the public record, we wish to call public attention to tribute our union-and Reid Robinson-by leading government war official This government spokesman, ad. dressing our union convention 1T Denver just two weeks ago, sait that no labor organization in ths country has shown greater patriot ism and devotion to the cause fol which we are fighting than youl union."
 "Reid Robinson" declared thii speaker, "enjoys the confidence o leaders of government because they know that above all else he Is com pletely devoted to winning the war They know he is an effective ans faithful servant of his union. H' Is always working in the nationa interest"
 The speaker was Wendell Lund director Of the War Production division. Further, said Mir. Lund He (Reid Roblnsofi) knows he eal serve his union best by serving hi country best. That is labor states manship, and Reid Robinson Is . la Dor statesman" Such praise, com ing as lt does from an authorita tive R0vernment spokesman, reveal the shall0Wness Of the red-bAlt.n contained in Che attacks on thi onlslandlng labor leader.

 Airacobras also cannonaded and machine gunned barges and supply dumps in the beach area of Buna, the enemy base on the north coast. Australian-bu built Beaufort fighters and Airacobras combined in an att tack on communications and SUD- ply installations at the Sala1naua base up the coast.
 The Australians were now nearly 45 air miles and 66 trail miles from Port Moresby in the advance against the Japanese who had driven across the Owen Stanley range.
 So far the advance had encoun- tered little opposition except by rear guard snipers.
