tenders.

knocked out their defenses,' he
added THE artillery fire probably
had more effect than the bombing
from the air.
The defense of Corregidor, he
said, was a most gallant exploit
in American history"

of Charleston, S. c., in the Revolu-
tionary war and the defense OF

BREAKFAST TODAY?
CONNECTICUT

In the rush Of getting to work in
the morning, time for dressing and
grooming cannot be neglected. but
no one will probably notice If one
has neglected to have breakfast.
1t would be interesting to know
just exactly what the average Ameri-
lean woman eats for breakfast.
From all indications, it seems that
many women eat no breakfast at all,
except cup of coffee or perhaps
some fruit juice and coffee. This
habit Of going without breakfast,
or having only liquid breakfast
is one that should be reformed at
the earliest possible convenience.
Perhaps with all our calorie
counting, and the fact that many
women do jobs that are not so siren
