 Rabaul was pounded Oct. 12 by $50 tons of Allied bombs. When smoke cleared away i23 Jap ships of ell kinds, including three cargo vessels, three destroyers, . subma- rine and miscellaneous types, were sunk or crippled, 12s airplanes had been destroyed and Bi damaged, The Allies lost five machines and had Q few damaged.
 One week later came Q second attack in which 60 Japs planes were reduced to scrap and several ships, including destroyer, Q gun- boat and Q medium sized merchant man, went to the bottom of Blanche Bay. More and heavier raids are ahead.
 Rabaul lies on Q hilly, volcanic cape on the island of New Britain. Japs overpowered the British gar- rison and seized Rabaul on Jan. 22, 1942, as a base to extend operations through the Solomons and New Guinea and as Q potential threat to Australia.

Better Plant Food For 1914 Victory Gardens

More chemical nitrogen and less potash, will be available for Victory gardens in 1944.
 Since nitrogen is consumed by plants, and also washes from the soil, so must be renewed, this change is expected to prove bene- ficial to next years crops.
 Instead of one Victory Garden mixture, containing 3 per cent nitro- gen, 8 per cent phosphorus and 2 per cent potash, which was pro- vided in l94S, the war reduction board has set up three distinct mix lures, applying to different sections of the country.
 Tn New England, and the middle Atlantic area, the Victiry garden mixture will have 5 per cent nitro gen, 10 per cent phosphorus and 5 per cent potash. This grade also applies to all southern states, west to Texas, but not including Tennes- see
