LULU STILL
 PREVAILS;
 RED FRONT
Air War Continues = Sup- plies Through for
 Summer Campaign

MOSCOW, May 25. = Although sporadic artillery fire and scouting is reported along some sectors of the Russian front, it is significant that a lull which prevailed genel e ally has remained unbroken.
 The air war continued to be the battle of the moment, with both German and Soviet ground and air forces hacking away at transport communication facilities. But it is obvious that the opposing armies are getting larger quantities of supplies through to strategic sec- tors in preparation for the sum- mer campaign
 The Red Army held stubbornly to the newly won lines west of the Donets River near Lisichansk and northeast of Novorossisk in the Kuban sector, but no major chang es are reported along the front lines.

LUM AND ABNER
 ARE COMING AS
 CAPITOL FEATURE
The BdshfuI Bachelor with zaSu Pitts for
 Laughing Purposes

If you are a perennial grouch, beat your wife, kick the cat or do any number of unpleasant things, then you should not see The Bash full Bachelor" starring Lum and Abner in their second picture for RKO Radio release, coming to the Capitol Theatre tomorrow.
 The reason for this is that The Bashful Bachelor" is geared strict ly for laughs and they come so thick and fast that even inveterate grouches might capitulate and en- joy themselves.
 For Lum and Abner give "all out performances in developing laughs, the kind that make buttons on vests unsafe. Lums problem of becoming a hero, and Abner's equally important problem of try ing to escape being a victim for Lum's bravery; the skin flint Squire Skimps heavy handed meth ods in trying to win the horse race at the County Fair over Lum and Abners entry; Abner's making trades which lead him into trouble: all of these incidents build up into one tremendously entertaining pie ture.

Make Your EIeetrit
 Ironer Last

You are lucky woman if you were one of the 100000 who owned an electric ironer when production was stopped in 1942
 You are a smart woman if you use and care for it wisely An elec- trtc ironer isn't just a little house. hold gadget you might run out and buy any old time, even during peace. It always has been a lux ury appliance and should be treat ed as such
 Because of it's high wattage, an ironer should be used on a special appliance circuit for best results. Ii you must use an ordinary house circuit, never do so when that cir cult is being used for another ap- pliance. You might blow fuse.
 If you store your ironer in a cold place, always let it stand in warm room for an hour before starting the motor, to soften the grease and oil that make it operate easily. Follow the manufacturers instruc- tionS for oiling).
 When ironing, use the entire iron ing surface to keep the pad from unevenly and the ironing shoe from getting too hot in unused spots. Otherwise you1l scorch the cover and pad. To avoid damage to the. ironing surface, turn buttons, snaps, zippers and any hard bumpy things toward the padding.
 To freshen the padding when it packs with use, remove the muslin cover, then the padding, and fluff 1t up, reverse it, air it and replace It. You can make an extra pad cov- er to use when one is being wash ed.
 When you finish ironing, make sure the padded roll or board is perfectly dry by running the hot shoe or ironing surface over it lew times. A damp roll or pad may Then separate the shoe and pad, and cover the machine to keep out the dust.

It's frightening when you think of it, but Alfred Hitchcock is dis appearing at the rate of three and a half pounds a week From a start ing bulk of 293 pounds, he has lost 30 pounds in some eight weeks, and expects to continue the process not, we hope, to the point of com plete self obliteration.
 Some have thought his losses due to worry over his reputation as a master of movie suspense and the ordeal 1t faces in his film Life Boat" he must get suspense out of nine people in a 26-foot boat for nine reels. Hitchcock denies any such worry, seems jovially confi- dent. The real cause, he says, is protein diet-chicken, fish, steak (when he can find it), plus radishes, celery and other such rabbit food.

 of the New York State Guard
 NEW YORK-Suppose this mes sage should come spilling of the teletype:
 Flash
 Strong enemy force landing on Long Islandl"
 Or:
 "Saboteurs eonverging on Rock Island arsenal. Situation out of police control!'
 What happens?
 The nearest regular Army force moves into action immediately, of course. But the Army encampment is a hundred miles away, then what?
 Into the breech moves the state euard-to contact, harass and de- lay the enemy, destroying him if possible, until sufficient numbers of regular troops can swing into action
 And what is the state guard?
 That man working next to you may be a member-a civilian sol- dier who goes about his regular job in shop or office, but who has enlisted for the duration as a fight ing man if his services are needed.
 In 45 States
 State guards have sprung up to replace the National Guard in the territories of Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico and all the states but three-Arizona, Montana and Ne- vada.
 Their respective strengths vary from few hundred men to 17,000 And while the majority of states designate their force as State Guard" there are some variations. For instance, it is the Pennsylvania Reserve Defense Corps, Virginia Protective Force, Kentucky Active Militia, and Alaska Territorial Home Guard.
 AAAN NSAAiPbaAtC otdtt guar USHldll IS 36 years old with two or three dependents. The U. S. armed serv- ices don't want him-yet. He can't enlist at a private's pay because of his dependents. But he wants to be in uniform.
 He can, of course, be too young or too old for the regular Army. In New York the guard takes them from IT to 51. Or he may have phy- sical defects, for the guard is less eXacting than the Army.
 State guards serve under the states adjutant generals, who in turn head up to the original Ma tional Guard bureau in Washing ton, of which Major General J. F.. Williams is chief. Each state has It's commanding general. Groups of states are associated with regu- lar Army service commands, and work on the same tactical problems. The guard is supervised and in- spected by the regular Army, and is the only legally constituted and military force within the boundaries of each state, aside from

the regular Army.
 Uniforms follow the Army's, but must have distinctions. In New York, for instance, guardsmen wear black neckties instead of the tan ties worn by most Army units. The shoulder patch contains the black initials NY" within a blue circle, and NY" replaces US" on insignia.
 Equipment is issued by both state and federal governments, and al- though few outfits had more than coverall combat uniforms while the guards were being organized late in 1940, today there is a great improve ment.
 Mainly Infantry
 Also, in the beginning, armories were barren of weapons. But today again, there is a good variety and quantity of modern firearms. While most regiments are infantry, there is one mobile unit and an outfit using heavy guns.
 The guards drill one or more nights week, have training schools and summer camp periods, with emphasis on engineering, comman- do tactics, bayonet training, marks manship and the like. A good guardsman knows how to make Molotov cocktails and road obstruc- tions, and how to behave under fire.
 Men who go from the state guard to the regular Army find quick favor, often becoming corpor- als or sergeants literally on sight Large numbers also have received commissions.
 The guards pay? Heh, heh. You don't get a cent, buddy. You take it out in satisfaction At least, I do.

HISTORY GIVEN IN FEATURE AT
 10TH CENTURY
'United We Stand" Goes Back E Years 10 Show
 Up Axis Aims

In the drama of world events diplomacy is the dead-pan comic the mask that history wears to hide her shame It is faster >than the public eye, but not quicker than the camera eye.
 Cinematography gets behind the falseface and often catches the fleeting expression, the impercep- tible grimace that, when studied from the perspective of time, can be more revealing than dozen bookshelves of correspondents in side" stories,
 For instance, there is the as- founding camera account of the signing of the Munich agreement which handed Hitler Czechoslova- kia practically on a silver platter. Hermann Goering is seen here rub ping his hands with satisfaction, with the relish of a miser survey ing his hoard. This scene, one of the thousands of on-the-spot films in goth Century Foxs United We Stand" the full-length, shocking story of the past quarter century now at the 20th Century Theatre, leaves no doubt concerning the world-bandits the Axis leader, and their satellites of the Fascist front,
 Also shown in United We Stand through the never-lying eye of the newsreel camera, are films captured from the enemy, including some taken by Hitlers personal cameraman showing the Fuehrer with childish glee at the signing of the French armistice.

Chuck says he isn't guilty. As he says it, he is right in the middle of a picture, and he isn't being "The Man from Down Under" at all. Tn few moments the director, Robert z. Leonard, will call him to work, and he will step in front of the camera and talk in an Austra- lian accent to Richard Carlson, and go through some touching father son business to further the plot
 But right now he is one c. Laugh ton, man with an aching back. He hurt it in a movie accident, and he's sore because it's preventing his going to Cincinnati for the Land" opening. Aside from that, he's in an ainiable mood-and definitely not "The Man from Down Under"

 Lives His
 Characters
By ROBBIN COONS

HOLLYWOOD - MT Charles Laughton, he would have it known, is the victim of a gross canard.
 There have been stories to the effect that Chuck is one of those actors who lives his roles. That is to say, when he is cast as meek school teacher in This Land of Mine" he becomes that school teacher for the duration. He walks around as that person would, he eats, he sleeps, he thinks as if he were indeed the character. This, if true, would be quite a feat. be- sides being boring to all hands, con- sidering that a movie takes four to eight weeks to shoot.

WILL UNDERSELL ALL
OTHER NATIONS,
(Mille Laos County Times)

Donald M. Nelson, United States
representative who has been spend
ing some time studying Russian in
dustries, declares that the Soviet
factories and industries are far
ahead of those in the United States
in production and quality of pro-
ducts. He says the Russians have
built one of the greatest industrial
nations in the world, and will be
even greater in peacetime. He says
they have the greatest natural re-
sources of any country in the world
and will dominate world trade by
production of goods and machinery
that will undersell any nation because
of their efficiency in an organized
system of production. This is some
thing for those to think about who
think that the United States is 60
ing to dominate in world trade when
peace comes.
