For men who must shave every day doctors, lawyers, businessmen and others Glider is invaluable. It is a special cream for daily shaw CTS. It is neither sticky nor greasy.
 To use Glider, first wash your face with hot water and soap to remove grit and oily sebum that collect on whiskers every "A hours. Then spread on Glider quickly and easily with your fingers. Never a brush.
 Glider inssonfiy smoofhs down the faky top layer of your skin. It enables the razor's sharp edge to glide over your skin, cutting your whiskers close and clean wifhoVf seroping os irrifoing your skin.

Hoover Warns Of
Extremely Grave
Food Situation
Should Shift Workers
Into Essential Jobs,
SAYS Former President

WASHINGTON, F e b. 8.
(UP)-F ormer President
Herbert Hoover said today
that America faces an "eX-
tremely grave shortage Of
food, metals and oil unless 100000
workers are shifted from other en-
ployment or service in the armed
forces to jobs in farms, factories
! and mines.
Mr.. Hoover held a press confer
ence following his appearance at q
closed session of a senate appropri-
ations subcommittee investigating
the manpower problem.
He declared that shortage of
farm labor, a bottleneck in trans
portation and the obligation to feed
the fighting forces of the United
Nations and their civilian popula-
tions have combined to produce a
crisis.
The nations only living eXpresi-
dent warned the subcommittee that
wars are not won or lost exclusive
ly on the battlefields or in the
skies. They may be lost on the
home front by lack of supplies, he
said.
Mr.. Hoover, vino was accompanied
to the meeting by Hugh Gibson,
former career diplomat who was an
attache in the Belgian legation
when Hoover won fame as food ad-
ministrator during World war /,
estimated potential labor reserves
in the three critical" industries at
100000.
Nevertheless, he said, the transfer
of 100000 perSonS-young boys
and girls, mature workers and fur
loughed soldiers-will save the situ
alton.
He advocated the furloughing of
soldiers and sailors wherever pos
Sible to help farmers plant and
harvest the crops that must feed
the United States, the allies and,
eventually, the 350,000,000 persons
in nations overrun by the Nazi
armies.

Allied air forces were en-
gagged Monday in a concen-

obiectives at both ends Of the
axis.
British and American planes, in
one of their busiest Sundays since
the start of the war, bombed objec-
tiveS in a great operational area
that stretched from the German
held coast of France to Italy and
its Mediterranean islands.
The Royal air force returned to
he attack today, crossing the south
west British coast and entering
France in the Boulogne area.
Seven missions of destruction were
carried out in the sprawling 1900
mile arc from the Brittany coast
of France to southeastern Tunisia:
LORIENT BATTERED

night in the heaviest raid ever made
on that German submarine nest.
2. British planes struck again
during the night at the heart of
Germany's industrial Ruhr.
3. American Liberators based in
the Middle East battered Naples
in what Brig. Gen. Patrick w.

command, said was "a prologue of
things to come.
4. American Flying Fortresses
and Marauders from North Africa
made two daylight raids on Sardi-

Elmas airdrome at Cagliari and the
nearby seaplane basin.
5. RAF WellingtonS from North

REDS NEAR ROSTOV
The Red army was knocking at
the gates of Rostov and threatened
to capture the city soon, unhinging
the entire German southern defense
line.
Fighting was under way at the
mouth of the Don river and the
Russians moved up their big guns
for bombardment preparatory to
an attack. There were indications
that the Russians might even have
crossed the Don at a point west
of RoStoV.
The Axis forces staged sharp
counter-attack in an attempt to
save Rostov, but the Russian noon
