London, May S. - (UP)-
The biggest force of four
motOred British bomberS ever
IN action dropped nearly
l,500 tons of explosives on
the German coal and steel
center of Dortmund last
night, a Royal Air Force
spokesman announced today.
The tonnage of bombs
dumped on the Dortmund hub Of
the German war machine was mot
very far short" of that loosed
against Cologne In the 1,000-plane
raid last May 80, the spokesman said
in revealing that the Raj again had
hit q new high in the aerial Of
Intensive against the continent.
The raid followed by few hours
a powerful attack by American
heavy bombers Oh Nazi industrial
targets at Antwerp by daylight.
The Raj lost 80 bombers in the
Dortmund raid, labeled as very
heavy" by communique and re-
vealed later as record undertaking
by the giant four-motored planes
Strings, Lancasters and Halifa&es
laden with blockbusters.
The Raj commentator said the
proportion Of losses in the Dort-
mund raid were not far from the
losses in the famous 900 plane raid
on Cologne, when Al We're lost.
(This would indicate that 700 or
800 planes participated)
THE damage done at Essen has
no doubt thrown a greater strain
on Dortmund," the commentator
said.
Flax Not Intense
He reported many Searchlights at
Dortmund but said the flax was hot
so intense as usual in the Ruhr
Valley.
"a German comnunique said 36
OF the British bombers we're shot
down, and the DNB news agency
estimated this at Is per cent OF the
raiding force, adding: German an
ti-aircraft batteries equipped with
arms of latest design proved extra

retaliatory attacks over parts OF

New Bride S
Problem
BY EMILY POST

A new angle o. the sdaptability
required Of the bride. who goes
as a stranger TO live in her hus-
bands community. Is that Of one
who has been finding It very DIFF
neult To be hostess in a long estab-
lished bachelor house. Her letter
tells me. I got off 10 a wrong
start with some Of my husband S
friends. When came here as a
bride 7 did not like their IN
checked habit Of dropping IN al
any old time. Ny husband didn't
seem TO like It any better, and
his attitude gave me courage 10
let il be known how ! felt. Grad
ually they got out Of the habit
Of coming 10 see Us at all. Now
my husband says they all tease
him and say he's henpecked and
ask him when I'm going home TO
mother so they can see some
thing of him.
Il think I'll have TO do some
thing to get in right with these
friends Of his, Is there some way
I could make them see that don't
mean to run my husbands life
and that I certainly feel he Is
privileged TO see his friends when
he wants 10, and either with or
without me. But ] don't intend
to keep a clubhouse for all his
unattached men friends to lounge
in whenever they have nothing
better to do. They fill the house
with cigar smoke and char and
ring the table tops which I've had
to have scraped and refinished
Do you understand; and will you
help me >"
I really don't know how 10 solve
this brides problem-unless her
husband is willing TO choose one
evening in the week on which he
can encourage his friends TO come
in. And she can make preparations
to protect her tables with covers
or detachable tops. Either this,
or let things 90 as they are
which means that he will find
himself further and further adrift
from them-or else from her.
