ed the guns and began demolishing
the fortress while waiting for the
seamen to arrive.
Marines Lead Way
The attack on the second fort
began the following morning with
the Marines again leading the way,
assaulting the face of the fortifica-
tion while the remainder of the
party was held in support. The
advance, however, proved less diff
ficult than that of the previous day
for the defenders hurriedly retreat
ed when the Marines advanced. At
tention of the Americans was then
focused upon the citadel, chief Of
fender in the earlier outrage, which
was located on a hill and defended
by more than a thousand warriors
-ferocious men of courage.
The hill was steep and the cita-
deps walls were high. Guns of the
Monocacy and howitzers shattered
portions of its walls and the, Ma
rines, followed by the sailors,
swarmed over them into a hand-to-
hand struggle with the Korean
warriors. The fight ceased only
when the last Korean fell, for the
defenders gave no quarter and ex-
pected none.
Leathernecks Praised
The official Navy Department re-
port of the incident stated:
ITO Capt. Tilton and his Marines
belong the honor of first landing
and last leaving the sohre, in lead
ing the advance on the march, in
entering the forts, and in acting as
skirmishers. Chose as the advance
guard, on account of their steadi-
ness and discipline and looked to
with confidence in case of difficulty
their whole behavior on the march
and in the assault proved that it
was not misplaced"

Choose CoIors Wisely
When Buying Clothes

A S any fashion conscious
n woman will tell you, color is
the most subtle element in good
taste, and an important factor to
consider in choosing your clothes.
You can cheaper the most beaun-
fully cut dress with the wrong color
and you can kill your good looks with
the same mistake.
There is lot to know about color
and a lot to feel, writes Elaine Neal
in the October Good Housekeeping
magazine. 1t is easy, Miss Neal says
to like a color because it is pretty
and even easier to forget that the
color does not go with your skin.
Don't confuse your favorite color
with your most becoming one; they
are not synonymous. Buy your IA
vorite color when you buy flowers or
curtains for your bedroom, but when
buying clothes, forget the favorite
and buy the becoming.
Generally speaking, Miss Neal
points out that light colors, with the
exception of white, are fattening;
bright colors too, are fattening and
otherwise bad because their fam
boyance brings out undesirable fea-
lures. But most important to re-
member in your choice of colors are
your skin, hair and eyes-skin be-
ing the most important. White skin
calls for pure tones of medium
strength. Skin with pink under
tone looks florid in purples and most
blues. Olive skin can take striking
colors, but sallow skin is difficult
and requires makeup.
From many points of view hair is
important too, but the main thing is
not to kill it with monotony. Don't,
Miss Neal warns, wear a color to
match your hair. A gray-haired
woman who goes in for gray makes
a dull picture, and a red head will
detract from her own brightness if
she wears copper and bright browns.
Eyes however, assume less impor-
tance because most eyes are not
definitely colored or have mixtures
of blue gray or green brown.

KOREA'S CITADEL

Shortly after the Civil war Amer
lean sailors of merchant vessels
visiting Korean waters were cruel
ly treated and in some instances
murdered by natives. Freedrick l..
Low, U. S. minister to China, was
instructed to arrange a meeting
with Korean officials which result
ed in peaceful agreement between
the two nations.
A party of American surveyors,
authorized by the agreement to
make soundings to insure safety of
vessels navigating the Salee river,
was fired upon from forts along the
shore.
Minister Low and Rear Admiral
John Rodgers of the Asiatic squad
ron demanded an explanation of
the outrage. When their message
went unanswered they decided to
attack the forts and citadel which
had fired the volleys.
-Four Launches Leave
On June 10, 1871, the USS Mono
cacy and USS Palos, with four
steam launches containing a land
ing party of battalion of Marines
commanded by Capt. McLane Til
ton and brigade of seamen with
seven field pieces, went up the
Salee river to engage the forts. AS
the small squadron came within
sight of the forts, the guns of the
Notifications opened fire. Capt.
Tilton and his Marines staged a
landing party in the mud with
scrub and rifle fire on their right
flank. The Leathernecks landed
quickly, however, and charged on
the first fort.
Defenders of the fort fled, firing
as they went, when the Marines
advanced. The Leathernecks spfk-

In Our Town


al months, much of the local
interest, when not focused
upon the war proper, has been
directed largely on Smyrna's
Civilian Defense activities.
The hustle and hustle around
this town seemingly never
ceases. 1t has been this class
for this. Then it's that class
for that. The average home
is beginning to show marked
signs that plainly indicate,
Mother is attending still an
other class tonight"
The fact is, many folks are
not spending very much time
in their homes these nights.
This is substantiated by a no
ticeable drop in the towns
sale of electricity. This is just
a part of what this war has
done to Smyrna.
With all the local excite
ment, and enthusiasm prevail
ing, Smyrna spoilers" should
not relax their interest in the
Aircraft Warning Service. We
must keep this going, top
notch. This service is our
first line of defense here in
this country. If those, who
are now engaged in aircraft
sspotting, relax their vigilance
for a single moment, things
can happen, happen fast. The
Aircraft Warning Service is
vitality important. Spoilers
may not fully realize just how
very important they become,
when holding down a job like
this. Every observation post
established throughout this
entire country, has it's own
special part to play in our Ma
tional Defense plan. These
posts have been located where
they now are, for a particular
purpose, this based on the
judgment of men trained in
this work. 1t is certainly up
to the Aircraft Warning Ser
vice to keep them functioning
in a high state of efficiency.
Many lives may some day,
and no one knows when, de-
pend on the alertness of one
or two persons stationed at
one of these posts. War is a
terrible and serious thing.
There could be nothing more
swift, more destructive, than
the SneaKlng IlgnC OF enemy
bombers. after they had elud-
ed our defense of pursuit
planes.
If all obervation post men,
bers took their work seriously
enough, the chances are, may
be we could stop the enemies
planes out there, prevent
them from ever reaching us.

Bathers Seek to Break Wyandotte Win Streak
Majority Of County
Teams End Schedule
New Haven Seeks to Complete Perfect
Record in League Meeting with Alnont

in an undefeated role, tonight's
county cage card marks the last
appearance of nearly all of the
county teams prior to their
tournament contests.
Only Mount Clemens will con-
tinue its regular schedule after
tonight, playing Fordson next
week, though Eastland and
Lakeview have a makeup game
left, one which may decide the
second place in the Bi-County
league.
New Haven, which has al
ready conquered Almont once
this season, will be attempting to
break the precedent established
last year when the Foundrymen
marched through 13 games with
out defeat, only to lose to the
Port Huron reserves in the last
tilt before the tournaments. New
Haven is favored to make 1t q
perfect season, barring any SEN
sational loss of players.
ARMADA AFTER THIRD
Other games in the loop will
see Armada battling for third
place in its game with Capac
and Dryden and Memphis fight
ing it out for last place. Dryden
has not won a game, but a vic
tory will pull Memphis into q
last place tie-since each would
have one victory against nine de-
feats.
New Haven has the league
title cinched and loss would not
effect its second consecutive loop
crown.
Romeo will be host to Lapeer
in its closing game in the Tri-
County Conference. Oxford
holds down first place in the cir
cult, followed by Lapeer and the
visitors will be slightly favored
over the Peachmen.

the title, even should they lose
their game with Utica tonight.
Other games in the league will
see South Lake host to Lakeview
and Eastland playing at Busch.
Roseville, surprise winner
over Romeo last week, will seek
to wind up its season on a win
ming note. The Roseville crew
has lost ten games to date, ano
needs victory tonight in its
14th contest, with Berkeley on the
