Germans Use 1900 Dive
Bombers oe StoEingrod

MOSCOW, Sept 7-(UP)-Soviet
defenses on the near southwest ap-
proaches of Stalingrad and the
Volga river line quaked today be-
meath the pounding of 1,500 Ger
man dive bombers and fighter
planes and tanks assaulting in herds
of hundreds.
The Germans had not advanced
in II hours against the gallant de-
Tense of Russian soldiers, marines
and u peoples army.
But huge German reinforcements
of planes, tanks and infantry, after
60 hours of continuous, costly as
saults, finally made another pene-
tration of Soviet lines ON the south
west.
The noon communique said, how
ever, that the Germans had been
outflanked, and forced to retreat,
restoring Russian lines to their or
lginal position.

IN LAST ROUND

Perhaps 100000 Germans were
assaulting on the southwest and
portJ approaches to Stain
grad, and front-line dispatches said
the almost unprecedented liberality
with which the enemy was using
planes and tanks indicated that he
believed the battle was in its last
round.
On the northwest approach, the
Russians struck back violently and
improved their positions.
a.. Stubborn fighting continues" ="
the noon communique said "One
unit attacked the enemy, improved
its positions and wiped out $50
Germans and burned five German
tanks. Soviet troops captured seven
machine guns, two trench mortars,
&c tommy guns, 200 rifles, large
quantity of ammunition and pris-
onerS. On another sector, our
troops repulsed enemy attacks, de-
stroyed three German tanks and
killed two companies of infantry.
Southwest of Stalingrad there is
fierce fighting. On one sector, the

BLITZ COMING
What most Hollywood hads ex-
pect to happen is WPB order
summarily reducing all entertain
ment activities at least 25 per cent,
or perhaps cutting them in half.
War industries need almost all the
materials that go into picture pro-
duction, especially into film. The
Army and Navy need the studios

would be plenty of features in ad-
dition to the unrestricted govern

Hollywood already has adjusted
itself to the order limiting eXpen-

per picture. Individual sets, which

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. THE mo-
ton picture companies are in an
odd sort of spot these days-they're
embarrassed by their prosperity and
success.
While all other industries are en-
gagged in a production battle, Hol-
lyWood finds itself with more fin
ished pictures than it knows what
to do with. The backlog of COM
pleted films is growing all the
time; releasing schedules constant
ly are being upset, because business
is so good in the nations theatres.
A movie which normally would be
expected to play a week will now
be held over for two or three weeks.
All the studios in town could lock
their gates tonight and remain
closed for three months without
causing any entertainment short
age.
They could suspend work, longer
than that if a government order
should abolish double features to
save film.
Yet production is continuing at
almost peak speed.
We've got to keep going in Or
der TO have timely war stories"
said one executive. And we've got
to follow new entertainment trends
such as the cycle in musicals"

PROFITS PYRAMID

Besides" added another official,
I'VE don't know how long this pic
mic is going to last. Some morn
ing we may wake up and find our
selves without any leading men, or
any technicians, or any film at all" ."
So the flicker factories are max
ing hay before their deluge-eX-
cept that the accruing profits are by
nc means hay. Many of the pic
lures now being taken out of stor-
age and released were made so long
ago that Hollywood has almost for
gottn about them.

Manners
of the
Moment

Seating oneself is an art. 1t
should be learned by every woman,
unless she really enjoys being a
comic. She should lead, for exam
pie, with her whole back, not with
just one part Of it. She should ap-
pear to sink into her chair rather
than to angle into it. She shouldn't
drop suddenly from the spot where
she shifts the weight from her
knees to the cushion of the chair.
All these are axioms. Every OBJ
servant woman has noticed how
graceful seating can be done. But
the part that is not automatic is
whether or not you yourself live
up to your own observations. Half
the time a girl doesn't know how
she looks while she is in the process
Of sitting down.
Now, If I have you sufficiently
worried, get out the mirror and try
sitting down so that you can watch
yourself.
And, Of course, If you're not vor-
ried, forget it. What you don't
know won't hurt you. JEAN.

|WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Long ago Diane de Poitiers said.
THE years that woman subtracts
from her own age are not lost. They
are added to the ages OF other
women"
The famous beauty was not wrong,
However, that is not why women
like to be youthful looking. 1t gives
them a thrill to look younger than
their friends because that means
they look younger than their years.
Certain and definite ideas exist as
to how a woman should look at diff
ferent ages. These preconceived
notions lead us into errors. We are
too likely to feel complacent If we
stack up pretty we'll against the
average. The rate of aging in the
average represents not what IS
necessary but what Is usual.
If we are to follow the example
set by many of our sex we will drop
sports by the time we are 80. Our
only indoor sport will be bridge and
our only outdoor sport will be
walking back and forth from the
car (or was). BY 35 we will have a
protruding tummy and the begin
ming of a dowager's hump, due to
poor posture. BY 40 we will carry
at least 20 pounds more than we
considered right for us at 20. We
will console ourselves with the idea
that we need more weight as we
get older.
These age signs and many more
are average but they are not neces-
sary. Regular care of the face can
keep it youthful looking for years
and years. Essentials are facial ex-
ercises, meticulous cleansing. lubri-
cation for dry skin, care to avoid
lines from mannerisms and frowns,
enough sleep, vital food and good
health generally.
The above are absolute essentials.
Astringents and ice wrapped in
cloths and patted on help too.

perfume for chic woman. And 1t Is
wonderful!
The same firm is going in strongly
for sachets, soft, downy pillows of
them that are as feminine and ap-
pealing as can be. inexpensive and
charming, they make delightful
stocking presents" or remembrances
for friendly acquaintances. Slightly
more costly. but very effective, is a
sachet-fllled book" with rose COL
ored cover and blue satin pages"
On the inside page, grosgrain rib
bons hold four tiny flacons of per-
fume in assorted fragrances. After
the perfume Is removed, the case
should make a delightful handker-
chief container. For a young girl,
this house suggests an diversified
bath powder puff on a long wooden
stick. Comes in six different color
combinations and is equipped with
a ribbon loop for handy hanging.
The whole arrangement, reasonably
priced, looks like an diversified
lollipop!
Gifts that would be welcomed by
any woman are the products of
firm which makes cosmetics partially
composed of milk! The containers
look really good enough to eat
we've never seen anything quite as
mouth-watering as the lineup of
snowy white jars and bottles, flower
sprigged, lace-edged and utterly
charming. Among the items are bath
Oil In milk-white cruet decorated
with painted flower nosegays; bath
powder mitts with terrycloth on the
"patter" side and flower -sprigged
dimity on the back; white satin
sachets bound in blue and tied with
satin ribbon bows. Other tempting
beauty aids from the same source
include a wooden milk pail with a
handle, complete with a silvery
shovel to measure out the foaming

tain to have company and it will
add much to the holiday jollity to
offer bed and board" without
blush.
A comfortable bed is the first and
foremost requisite The bedstead
does not matter, do without it if
you like and invest all your money
in good spring and mattress. Then
arrange lamps for good lighting. At
least one beside the bed and one at
the dressing table is minimum. A
snap-on light as you enter the room
and a standing lamp beside the
lounge chair would be helpful, too
Many drawers for clothing are not
essential, as most guests do not stay
for weeks. but two are handy. A
dressing table with good makeup
light is more important.
A small, adequately furnished
desk is great joy. 1t gives a sense
of settled contentment that is most
refreshing to the traveller. So does
a deep chair with an ottoman or a
chaise Tongue for those moments of
snatched relaxation when a round of
engagements puts "priorities" on
sleep.
Don't be afraid of color in your
guest room. Many of us hesitate to
be too gay, fearing that we will tire
OF vivid color scheme if we have
To live with 1t. But the guest does
not have to live with it. The meek
and timid ones will love the zest of
living up to brilliant colors and the
not so meek will feel as though the
room was made for them. You will
get a lift out OF their exclamations
OF pleasure over the room they are
to occupy.
Be as lavish as you can with all
the amenities. Satin smooth sheets
deep pillows, fluffy colorful blankets
and light tufted puffs will make
your guests feel as though they are
visiting royalty. The thermos jug
Of cold water on the night table,
fresh flowers around the room, the
new books and current magazines
beside the reading chair are small
attentions which bring dividends in
good friends.
There is a difference in the au-
sterility of a hotel doom and the i'm
personality of a guest room. IN
your own home this room should
have the small accessories for good
living, such as small wall decora-
tions, interesting pictures, decora-
tive bric-a -brac and other details
Of homely comfort. But these things
should not be so personal that they
give the impression that you have
moved out just before the guest
moved in. Pictures should be of
interest, but not photographs OF
your own friends and family. Dress
ing tables should be we'll appointed
with emergency guest-size toilet
though most visitors
use their own. Closets and chests
should be reserved for guests and
should not contain the whole fam
.lys evening clothes or the extra
blankets in mothballs.
In short, the room should make
each guest feel that he has been
for weeks and will be
missed when he leaves. Each need
for comfort should be supplied and
the best that the house affords |
should be offered by a gracious
hostess.
Wartime may bring many house
hold difficulties, but the wartime
guest is getting new deal"

IN the wild stampede that ended so
many lives.
Some bright gals have long since
adopted the habit Of wearing a
bracelet or an anklet with a disc
engraved with their name. This is
a good idea. but should be carried
further to include the wearer's ad-
dress, or the name and address Of
her nearest relative as we'll. Identi-
f1cation tags similar to those worn
by our men in the armed forces
could be adapted for the ladies.
Then the possibility OF losing a bag,
or coat in whose pocket some en-
tightening papers might be tucked,
would be matter of small impor-
tance.
In this world of violence, it be-
comes a vital matter to look at all
possibilities and prepare for them.
The aftermath of the Boston fire
points dread finger toward what
might happen following an air raid
on one of our cities. Authorities
would be confronted with a problem
of major proportions in Just the
matter of identification alone. To
spare families and friends unneces-
sary anxiety and grief and to aid de-
Tense workers to the utmost in the
stupendous job that might be theirs,
we should make sure, every man
Jack and every girl Jill of us, that
we carry on our persons swift means
of Identification.
This goes for the children, too.
Their names and those of their
parents should be attached to them
at all times. We hope the need for
such Identification will never come
we pray earnestly that it will not;
If it does not, no harm has been
done. But should the grim necessity
arise, much sorrow and much con-
fusion will have been avoided. g
