Washington Day Ideas

It took Washington to make the
cherry famous by telling the truth
about cutting down that famous tree,
but it takes only sampling to make
us appreciate the excellence OF this
luscious red-ripe berry.

even this doesn't detract from the
performance of the most remark

lived-and one of the great COM
petitors.

TsU0 Others
Two other unique record breakers
are Cornelius Warmerdam at the
pole vault and Les Steers at the high
jump-two high-fying Californians.
Warmerdam discovered that the
only way he could pass Is feet was
to get his right arm out of the way
in time. Steers discovered that the
only way he could beat 6 feet 10
inches over the lofty cross bar was
to get his left foot out of the way
before it carried away the bar.
81 could get my left hand and left
arm away in time at Is feet or bet
ter" Warmerdam, the high school
instructor, said. ''It was the right
arm that gave me all the trouble.
/ worked at this knack and I also
worked hard at the job Of increasing
my speed. In the beginning ran
the hundred in liz seconds. Later
ON got this speed down to 1925
seconds"
With these two things accom-
plished Warmerdam scared above
is feet at least seven times in one
year, finally reaching the incredible
height of is feet 5A inches. His goal
is now 16 feet, given the time to
practice.
About Steers
There were vague rumors and re-
ports years ago that certain Zulu
African jumpers could equal 6 feet
10 inches. These rumors never were
verified.
But back in June, 1871, at a Pacific
Coast conference meet, Lester
Steers, the Oregon University rub
herman, proved human being
could clear the bar at feet IL
inches.
In an effort to control . balky left
foot, he would train wearing only
one shoe, ON his right foot, with his
left foot bare. Steers goes over with
legal body roll. After hard work
he was able to get this left foot out
Of the way at the top Of the jump.
His goal, If given the chance, Is
n feet, once thought to be impossible.
Human Limit
Charley Paddock, the first of s'The
Fastest Humans" had new 100
yard record in sight one afternoon
when he suddenly discovered that
his leg ligaments would not stand
that much strain.
He realized, nearing the 80-yard
mark, that he was ON his way to
1t least a Is mark when he felt
that one or more ligaments were
about to crack. Not wishing to re-
main q cripple he eased mp to tic
Ifbe existing world mark.

TRAVELLING IN WARTIME

I really do not enjoy quite such
close connections, and ! suppose
that from now on, in view of the
fact that there are many reasons
why trains and planes should be
delayed and mere civilians can be
removed from either one if more
important people wish to travel,
had better travel less and allow
more time than in the past, or else
have nothing very important to do
at the end of any journey.

Stores Remain Busy
Despite LuII for
Seasonal Items
Early 'YuIe Shopping
Helps Offset Adverse
Weather in Week
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. Adverse
weather conditions lessened con-
sumer interest in seasonal merchan-
disc this week, although many lines
showed a record fall turnover in
retail stores, Dun & Bradstreet said
today in the weekly review of busi-
ness.
"The unusually early start of the
Christmas shopping season." the
agency said, coupled with the prev
alence of stock-up buying on scare
ity items, helped retailers to register
gains over last year.
"Chief interest In wholesale mar
kets centered on delivery dates,
which were further extended in the
week."
Retail sales volume for the coun-
try as a whole was estimated at
from II to IS per cent over a year
ago. Best increases were made in
the. Southern and Pacific regions,
where gains of Is to 20 and Is to %,
respectively, were shown. Increases
in the other districts were: Middle
West, 13 to 10; Southwest, 13 to 16;
New England, 10 to 13; Northwest,
to 10, and East, 8 to II.
The agency said retailers reported
rainy weather on election day caused
disappointment in results of some
special promotions planned for that
day. but this was partially Offset by
better demand for special items, in
cluding warm sleeping and wearing
garments in anticipation of lower
temperatures in homes this winter.

and others could find no consolation
in the Republican sweep, Mr.. Rich
said:
I'm glad the Republicans didn't
elect enough members to control the
House. They might be blamed for
some of the things which may take
place. With enough good Jefferson
ian Democrats we may be able to
stem the tide"
Rayburn Is Disappointed.
In Bonham, Tex, meanwhile,
Speaker Rayburn expressed disap-
pointment at the election results but
said the Democrats would control
the House and that 1--WE will be able
to carry on and do all things neces-
sary in the total war effort"
Edward j. Flynn, national Demo-
cratic chairman, last night termed
Tuesdays election of a Democratic
House" a repetition of the election
results for the past decade, and
added:
THE fact that the division is a
close one perhaps will be good for
the country because in this way
both parties will be placed on their
mettle"
Mr.. Flynn said the total vote was
small and proved that persons in
favor of an Administration seldom
take the trouble to vote" while
those opposed always "see to 1t that

Reports from the battlefront in
dicated British tanks and armored
cars were carrying out their chief
tain's instructions to the letter, ably
supported by the Raj and the
United States Army Air Forces.
Allied bombers, operating in end
less relays, attacked the fleeing Axis
forces from dawn to dusk yesterday,
paying special attention to the
coastal road which Is the enemy,s
main avenue Of retreat.
Breaches Alongside Road.
Returning pilots reported breaches
alongside this highway crowded with
Axis trucks and tanks, indicating
that Marshal Rommel was using
them as dispersal zones in an at
tempt to keep traffic moving along
the bomb-p -pitted road.
Allied airmen observed many huge
fires burning along the line OF the
Axis retreat and 1t appeared that
the enemy was burning supply
dumps.
In addition to attacking targets in
the immediate battle zone a mixed
force Of United Nations bombers
swept across the Mediterranean
Wednesday night to batter the Axis
airdrome at Maleme, Crete.
Enemy motor torpedo boats also
were attacked of the North African
coast between Fuka and Ell Daba by
Allied naval planes assigned to the
task of keeping much needed sup
plies from reaching Marshal Rom
mel.
Acute Fuel Shortage.

that the Allied Mediterranean pa
trolls were doing their work so well

Gen. Montgomery paid high trib-
ute to the operations of the Allied
air forces, declaring they had played
a major role in breaking the enemy S
morale.
He also praised infantry and artil-
lery units of the 9th Army, which, he
said, were responsible for the initial
break through. Montgomery en-
phasized, however, that victory had
been achieved only by the fullest CO.

About 800 enemy officers and men
were declared annihilated northwest
of Stalingrad, boosting German
losses already estimated to include
more than 100000 killed and 800
tanks and 1000 planes destroyed in
the 73-day-old struggle for the city.
