Prisoner in Rome
By UNITED PRESS

Benito Mussolini was escorted
out of the final meeting of the
Fascist grand council last Saturday
by eight armed generals and is now
a military prisoner in a Rome
hotel, an NBC broadcast from
North Africa said Friday.
"The meeting degenerated
into a battle of personalities, a
battle between King Victor En-
manuel and Mussolini," the broad
cast said.
"Mussolini had to report Hitler
could not deliver the full promised
military assistance. But he de-
clared Italy would fight on. The
king disagreed and informed II
Duce that he (the King still ruled
italy. When Mussolini started to
protest eight generals with pistols
entered and escorted him out"

vania disclosed at the convention
of eastern athletic directors that
the question of soldier trainees
participating in intercollegiate ath-
letics had been taken to the Presi-
dent for final settlement. He held
that men who had participated IN
physical violence" sports were bet
ter conditioned to the shock oil
warfare.
SUPPORTS STAND
John B. Kelly, former Olympic
oarsman who now heads the ma
tional physical fitness committee,
supported the congressman's stand.
Il believe that at the beginning
of the war the army was held up
by men with sports training,
Kelly said. They held the line in
such places as the Philippines until
the rest of us got in shape to fight
for our lives"
1.-The situation is dark = but 1t
isn't hopeless" declared Weiss, in
revealing that 256 congressman had
signed a petition and sent it to
Acting Secretary of War Robert P.
Patterson demanding that the
army fall in line with the navy in
permitting sports participation for
student traineeS.
Secretary of Navy Frank Knox
told me that he liked football men
because they react quickly and in
stinctively," Weiss said. Knox told
me he likes those iitterbug kids
who don't need a secord aim but
give it to the enemy-bang, bang,
bang"
AMERICANS SUPERIOR
In support of their point the
sports advocates told of incidents
in which American soldiers, trained
in body contact sports, were vic
torious both in mind and muscle
over muscle jerks"-the bicep-
bulging gymnasium products of the
foe.
There was Capt. Tommy Trap
nell, a West Point gridiron hero in
the golden days before America
was staggered by that first treach-
Gus blow of the war. He spent two
days in a foxhole and then rallied
his men-his team-anl led a sue
cessful assault with the simple cry:
Lets get at 'em, boys"
This ban had caused regret
table situation" Weiss said, be
cause the boys are willing to play
on their own time-and the boys
out there in the jungles and fox
holes want them to keep on play
ing. I've had letters from out
there, from the steaming iungles
of Guadalcanal and New Guinea
pleading for the continuation OF
sports. Their greatest JOY is a
short wave sports broadcast or a
-weeks-old paper with sporting
news"
War time hysteria caused Eng
land to drop sports at the start OF
the war, Weiss explained, but it
since has reinstated them with at
least four events drawing crowds
exceeding $4,000.
Several games were halted by
air raid alarms and the fans would
duck for the shelters" he said.
But after the all clear, the'd come
right back and watch the finish
of the game. If the can do this
despite the luftwaffe - what's the
matter with American"

present in smaller quantities-and
eventually it's expected the output
will be further curtained
Shellac
There are quite large quantities
Of shellac on the market although
production has been stopped. Lac
comes from India, so there's the
shipping problem to contend with
if increased production is wanted.
Floor Varnishes
Ample stocks Of floor varnishes
are available but you'll notice quite
a difference in the new ones. They'll
take over 20 hours to dry. Quick
drying varniSheS need solvents
which are required for military pur-
poses.
Enamels
Here again, you're going to have
to wait much longer for enamels to
dry. They'll also be packed differ
emily. You'll find fewer small sizes,
more "ersatz" containers Of fiber
and glass.
Paint Brushes
Pamper your paint bruShes-good
ones are hard to get. Why? Because
the bristleS used In the better grades
were formerly imported from China
and they're no longer being shipped.
Best way to pamper a paint brush
is to clean it thoroughly with tur-
pentine as soon as you're through
with your paint job, then soak it in
a mixture of turpentine and linseed
oil-half and half.

The cork base is imported from

the length of time 1t takes to dry

If you are one to predict when
you think the war will end-set

Keep track Of the things you are

Keep a war diary, not Of the

Yourself

NEA Service staff writer
There's prominent feminine
public figure who looks, ct first
glance, surprisingly commonplace.
she has quite usual brown hair and
eyes; and no striking nose or mouth.
But q second glance defines her
striking physical asset--a baby-hne
skin, very fair, and radiant as an
infants.
Many women have such o skin
but do not make much Of 1t. They
let It 20. And this type OF skin
does 60 II it's neglected. It tends
to become dry and faxed, to
wrinkle. This sometimes leads
brunei beauties, usually possessed OF
les fine and fair complexion, to re.
mark: but blondes do fade quickly.
Fading Is largely q matter OF
neglected hair and skin. The baby
fine skin which Is properly cared for
will keep its possessor looking much
younger than her years.
This complexion, like any, must
be kept scrlipulously clean: Q
clogged pore or blackhead IN 1t Is
visible afar. Healthy, this skin needs
only q very mild soap and water, or
light cream for cleansing -but reg.
ularly and gently. Do not rub,
stretch or pull, for often there's less
elasticity to this skin.
You might find 1t useful to wash
It with your palms instead OF
cloth. A facial treatment In the
beauty shop or at home, finished
with Ice patted over the surface
inside Of O soft cloth, helps to keep
the texture fine and fresh.
Outstanding houses make special
preparations for fine, sensitive skins.
One regular baby soap and cleaning
oil is suggested. Healthy, fine skin
Is washed with the delicate soap,
then the light oil is applied. With
very dry skin, the oil stays on over
night.
A representative skin Is cleansed
with the Oil instead Of washed. Any
complexion aids which are mild
enough for infants naturally will
aid the adult skin.
