continued heavy fighting along the
entire Tunisian front.
There is no easy road to victory.
We must expect some setbacks along
the way, and we cannot expect a
quick victory" he said.
The Secretary declared that he
wanted to correct a widespread i'm
preston that our earlier reverses
were due to the "greenness" of our
troops. He emphasized that this
"greenness" applied only to their
knowledge OF actual combat.
All our troops have been well
trained to meet the ordeal of fire.
He pointed out, however, that they
must learn their own small strate-
gems in actual battle.
1T has been our misfortune in this
war that our troops must meet in
battle hardened veterans he added.
But I know from past experiences
no soldier in any army learns quicker
or has more resourcefulness than
the American soldier
Our Flyers Praised.
Rommels forces are retreating to-
ward Kasserine Pass and are con-
tinuously harassed by American and
British planes, Mr.. Stimson said. He
declared these air attacks are being
carried out with consummate skill
The constant air support given
the ground forces was vital to the
successful counterattack against the
Axis, the Secretary commented.
The greater part of the British
lst Army is still immobilized by mud
in Northern Tunisia, Mr.. Stimson
said, but units from this force gave
important assistance to the Ameri-
can troops in hurting back the
northerly Of two German columns
which had advanced past the Kas-
serine Pass after the initial break
throughs west of Faid and Sened.
In Southern Tunisia the British
9th Army is beginning to exert
heavy pressure against the Ger
mans in the Mareth Line, Mr.. Stim-
son said, and already has taken two
or three outposts Of those fortifica-
tions.
Allied bombers in North Africa
and England, he continued, are
keeping up a steady pounding of
transportation, industries. airfields
and other targets "at both ends Of
the Axis"-in Germany, France and
the Lowlands, Italy, Sicily, Sardinia
and Crete. The constant bombing
undoubtedly is materially reducing
Axis shipping and supplies.

announcement that troops were to
be sent to Arizona was described as
a surprise to Mr.. Wickard, who, it
was said, did not consider the situa-

of troops.
$4,000 Pickers Brought In.
A spokesman said the department
had moved about $4,000 pickers into
the State since the harvesting sea-
son started last fall and that all but
about 600 had departed either be-
cause there was no more work or
because they found more remuner-
| ative employment elsewhere.
Government figures show that
39,276 bales of the estimated SO 300
bale Arizona crop of long staple
cotton had been picked and ginned
by January 16.
! Offcials said more had been har-
vested since that date, but that they
did not know how much.
Earl Maharg, executive secretary
of the Arizona Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, said, however, that postpone
ment OF the Army picking plan
probably would mean the loss OF
approximately 1900 bales.
McNutt Asks Delay.
Earlier 1t was learned that Man
power Chairman McNutt, in Phila-
delphia to fill a speaking engage
ment, asked the commission to re-
quest the War Department to delay
its order because he had not been
consulted and that a sufficient
civilian labor force could be made
available to complete the harvesting

The design Of his teeth. the type OF
his digestive juices are all particu-
larly suited to the ingestion and
disposal of meat and its tissues. The
proteins Of meat are Of an especial
sort to which our systems are
adapted. and in which vegetable
diet Is lacking.
The controversy over the eating
OF meat became at one time so Sc
rious that the American Medical
Association. through its council on
foods and nutrition, approved rea-
sOnable use Of meat at any time.
This put a curb on many Of the ex-
aggerated advertisements that were
playing on the fears of the public.

Meat Gives Uplift
The main argument in favor OF
the use OF meat is that the quality
of its protein not only furnishes
fuel and material for rebuilding
but lends to the entire system an
uplift that adds efficiency to the
whole body.
The preparation of meat Is of
great Importance. Much advice

Tips for Your Beauty

ducing hips and thighs. HoD r1dny
times should I 90 through these cr-
ercises each day?-E. N. r."
One beauty authority says you
should exercise vigorously one min
ute for each hour that you spend
sitting down. This would mean that
IL you are an Office worker about
eight minutes Of real snappy exer-
else would be sufficient to keep
your figure in shape. II you are
overweight and need TO reduce.
however. you'll have to adjust your
diet and spend double this time at
exercise.
Most OF the lying down exercises
are good for hips and thighs. For
fat on the sides OF the thighs, lie on
your back on the floor and lift each
leg alternately until it is at right
angles to your body. Be sure toes
are up and pull them even farther
toward your head as you raise your
leg. You'll feel the pull on the mus
cles at the back and sides OF the
thighs. Repeat five times with each
leg at first. then slowly raise and
lower both legs together. This is
more difhcult. as 1t involves a pull
on the muscles of the lower abb
dOmen.
