MOSCOW, Aug. 18.-The Ger
mans have suffered so many de-
feats in their about assaults
southwest of Stalingrad and the
Volga River line that they have re-
treated several kilometers and are
entrenching themselves in new de-
tense lines, front-line dispatches
revealed today.
"a kilometer is about five
eighths of mile.)
Not only was there a German
retreat, but, in addition, the Rus
slams have attacked on several Sec
tors and occupied new positions
northeast of Kotelnikovski, includ-
ing many important heights, these
dispatches said.
Kotelnikovski is 80 miles south
west of Stalingrad.
The Germans. however, were
continuing to probe the Russian
lines, trying to find weak spot.
NAILS MOVED DOWN
Northwest of Stalingrad, in the
Kletskaya area, rs miles away,
massed Russian artillery moved
down Nazi shock troops and tanks,
and the Soviet noon commuhique
indicated that both prongs of the
Nazi offensive on Stalingrad were
being firmly held up.
But German troops who had
crashed through strong defenses
and crossed the Kuban River, near
Krasnodar in the north Caucasus,
at two points, gravely menaced the
best remaining Soviet Black Sea
base of Novorossisk, 50 miles
away.
The Russian propaganda chief
warned that RuSsia's peril was
greater than in 1871, when the
Germans drove TO within 13 miles
of Moscow.
Particularly heavy losses
were inflicted on the enemy by

skaya in tense, defensive fight

As a result of the Kuban River
crossing, at two points, fighting
became more violent on all sectors
of the Krasnodar front, Except for
the points al which the Germans
crossed, the Russians held on all
sectors and were communicating
in an effort to overwhelm the
whole enemy position on the north
bank OF the Kuban.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

If you had lived in castle during
the Middle Ages. you surely would
have known about the drawbridge,
It was an important part OF the
castle-a person had to cross 1t when
he went inside the walls, or took a
trip outside.
In those times there was much
fear that an enemy would attack the
castle perhaps as surprise even IN
time of peace. For that reason, 1t
was the common custom to supply
a castle with q moat, or ditch, all
around the walls.
The moat might be supplied with
water from natural stream. Other
wise water was placed in the ditch
when possible. The enemy would
have trouble in trying to cross a
water-filled moat.
There had to be some way IN
which people in the castle could
cross the moat, and the drawbridge
took care of this need 1t was let
down so it stretched clear across.
Later it was pulled up with the help
of heavy chains. Some castles had
two or more drawbridges.
The drawbridge idea is followed
to large extent at the present time.
We no longer live in castles where
they are needed, but quite number
Of rivers have them.
The modern drawbridge is q

Ordinarily, North would not be
able to bid two spades over Vests
overcall of one spade, since such a
cue-bid usually requires at least q
king (and perhaps an ace) more IN
high-card strength than North &C
tually held. In this case, however,
North was not afraid Of misleading
his partner. North could hardly
have held q stronger hand and still
passed, so South could not expect to
find more in the dummy than North
could supply.
The spade cue-bid relieved South
of the anxiety he might otherwise
have felt about his three worthless
spades. He knew that North had
control of at least the first round
of spades, and probably complete
control of the suit in the form OF
singleton ace or void There re-
mained the possibility of losing two
diamond tricks. South therefore
cue-bid his clubs in the hope OF
eliciting a diamond response from
his partner.
North was glad to have the chance
to show his diamond control at SO
low a level. BY doing SO, further
more, he reafirmed his interest IN
q slam. He could not 60 past game
when South bid three hearts, since
South knew all about his hand by
that time and any slam action was
now up to South. The South player
WAS acute enough to realize that
fact and lost no time in bidding six
hearts, contract which was easily
made.

.BuscuIe Bridges

In two cities where have lived
Milwaukee and Chicago-there are
drawbridges. Traffic is halted when
vessels pass up and down the rivers
in those cities.
One day in Milwaukee, about 20
years ago, had somewhat narrow
escape. Not knowing that a warning
bell had sounded, I started walking
across bridge, and later ran at full
speed. I barely reached the other
side of the river when the bridge
started to rise. Other persons have
had much worse fortune with such
bridges. Once I read a report Of an
automobile which got caught in the
gap between the two halves Of a
modern drawbridge.
A huge drawbridge (or "bascule
bridge') was built at Sault Sainte
Marie to cross the st. Mary's River,
which flows between Ontario and

of and sympathy with little chill
dren.
With the introduction of q three
year course at Wilson Normal
School in 1927, Miss Breen contin-
ued her classroom teaching, special
izing In social hygiene and COM
munity health.
When the Wilson Teachers Col
lege was organized in 1881, she
added to her program courses In
professionalism arithmetic for ele-
mentary grades and the keeping OF
records and became an adviser to
women.
Her Personality Inspires.
Miss Breen has tireless, driving
personality, one that has pushed her
on to new and wider horizons of
intellectual development. But she
has inspired rather than driven all
who have come in contact with her.
Illustrative of this is the remark
OF a young teacher in an elemen-
tary school: Every time I feel like
sighting, I think to myself, What
would Miss Breen say Of my being
such slacker?' And then I plunge
In again, harder than ever"
Miss Breen has helped many needy
students finish their teacher-train-
ing courses who might never have
been able to do so without her
assistance. Always "the lift" was an
entirely confidential one between
the student and Miss Breen. Later,
when the cases became too numer-
Gus for her to finance personally,
she was active in the establishment
of student loan fund of the
Alumni Association of the school,
and is the chairman in charge of it
at the present time.
To Miss Breen belongs the unique
distinction Of having served as a
teacher under the five administra-
tive heads Of Washington's Train
ing School for Teachers.
Her plans for the use of her
leisure time" include so many gift
hours OF service to her community
that 1t would seem as if her schedule
would be an even heavier one than
her previous teaching responsihtIi-
ties.

New Courses Are Added
By Columbus Law School

Columbus University school Of law
offers = four-year evening course
leading to the degree of bachelor Of
laws, and one-year course for
graduate students leading to the
degree Of master Of laws. Basic
admission requirements for both
courses are those of the American
Bar Association which include the
satisfactory completion Of the first
two years of the standard college
course. Candidates for the masters
degree must also have received the
bachelor Of laws degree from an
approved school.
According to announcement by
Dean James ]. Hayden, two new
full time teachers of law have been
added to the faculty to comply with
the requirements Of the American
Bar Association. The new members
are Robert D. L'Heureux and Bar
nard T. Welsh.
In the LII. B. course new subjects
have been added; these include ad-
mtnistrative law and accounting for
lawyers. In modern times lawyers
have found 1t extremely valuable to
be familiar with administrative law
and procedure because an increas-
ingly large amount of business is
being handled by administrative
tribunals in local, State and national
affairs. Experience has taught that
most lawyers in general practice
are not sufficiently familiar with
accounting problems in the handling
OF estates Of clients, and the new
course in accounting for lawyers
has been added to answer this need.
