 The communique did not indicate in which direction the formation was traveling. However, front re- ports of engagements earlier this month indicated that the Axis Is ferrying out at least some troops from Tunisia, presumably key tech- niciails.
 The Messerschmitt 323s are large power gliders capable of carrying l20 fully-equipped men. They must be lowed for 8 take-oR and are ca- pable of little mare than 100 miles an hour in the air under their own power. Allied pilots have found them choice targets.
 Allied observers believed the Axis is using transporst to bring in sup- plies to Tunisia and carry out tech- niciaris no longer needed for the fighting there.

TOMORROW is the beginning

Reducing this Lent is more or
less compulsory; you are going

On the whole, think il prob

The experience OF life insur-
ance companies in Germany
during the last war was very
peculiar; in the civil population
in spite of the enormous re-
strictions on food. which were
necessary-the death rate for
those over 40 was far lower
than II had been for years.
This was ascribed to the fact
that compulsory dieting had re-
duced obesity and had improved

THERE are several rules

In the first place, don't go on
