BETHSHAN

DE HSTfAN
Bethshan is but an empty name, her wall
Long since has crumbled in the dust which hides
Its site, It's famous for four suicides
Who hung thereon; the body of King Saul,
And those Of his three sons proclaimed the fall
Of lsraels' might Before Philstias hordes
They were as straw, and died on their own swords
So deep their guilt that God heard not their cali
All peoples who wax in ascendancy
Know that alone your strength can never stand;
Trust not in false superiority
By it you die, as if by your own hand.
Power abused will always fatal be -
Prophetic is the story of Bethshan

cover the forehead line. For a
large, round face, a hat cover

Start Dieting Weights Up IL Pounds Says Ida Jean Kain

You can easily find out
whether or not you weigh too
much and what is wrong with
your measurements. NJ
Nobody needs to tell you any
thing about your figure. And
you will get along much better
with your diet and exercise for
keeping the subject TO yourself.

they were married. slips over
into the "pleasingly plump"
class, her husband may not like
IL in the least. But he can't bear
10 say so.
II she comes out and asks him
for the honest truth. he will lie
so convincingly about liking her
just the way she is that she al
most feels she is doing him q

cautious reference to unity of COM
mand might have passed without
particular notice but for a state
ment by Churchill which came yes
terday. The Prime Minister strong
ly hinted at an early second front
and had this to say:
Continued efforts are being
made by use and our allies to unity
and concert the command and ac-
ton of the United Nations, partic-
ularly their leading members. These
efforts are being made despite all
difficulties which geography can
impose"
1t is realized here that more than
merely casual reasons would have
to be advanced and be. made plaus-
ible to the British public before an
American officer could hope to be
accepted as the commander of a
joint operation in the European
tfeater. And there might be bit
ter personal disappointments in
volved Both the British and
American high command has been
shaken up from time to time in
this war.
Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and
Maj. Gen. Walter c. Short were
summarily retired after the dis
graceful success of Japan's surprise
attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral
Harold R. Stark, then Chief of Nav
al Operations, shortly was shifted
to a comparatively obscure post as
head of our Naval units based on
Great Britain.
British experience has been even
more bitter. Top British military
leaders who we're marked in 1889
as the defenders of the Empire
have pretty largely disappeared
from view and Churchill explained
yesterday that he had just had
another unhappy chore of that kind
to perform.
