than 400 Japanese planes in less

of their number in actual combat,
probably will disband this month
and join the regular United States
Army Air Force.
Possible Chinese loss of bases
along the Burma frontier, which
would prevent a continuation OF
successful aerial operations in that
sector, was listed as the cause for
disbanding of the filters, known
officially as the American Volun-
teer Group.
The filters, now in New Delhi on
a mission which cannot be dis
closed, said they probably would
be scattered throughout various
units of the army air corps fol-

the German fascists are not
nati0naIists but imperialists who
invade other countries and suck
out their blood to enrich Ger

poor posture and results in ILL

stand to full height, with high

good posture will be beautiful
even though her features are
not perfect.
For checking figure faults,
