TUNISIA:
Master GeneraIship

Axis resistance in Tunisia had
steadily crumbled as the Allied ar
mics moved inexorably toward their
goals. AS American artillery pound
ed the Bizerte harbor area setting
fire to wharves and docking facili-
ties, the British First army had
swept over the Tunisian plains lead
ing to the capital city of Tunis.
The moves on Bizerte had been
expedited by the capture by Ameri-
can and French forces of hilly
strongholds protecting Lake Achkel
and Lake Bizerte. In mopping up
operations in the Mediterranean
coastal region the Allies had con-
tinued to capture numerous prison
ers.
In analyzing the results of the sue
cessful offensive, observers cred
tied master Allied generalship with
outmaneuvering the Axis. The Al
lied high command had led the en-
emy to believe that the principal
blows would be struck by General
Montgomery's British Eighth army
from the south. After the Axis had
thrown heavy strength to repel
Montgomery, American forces in
the Bizerte area and British First
army forces before Tunis had struck
crushing blows simultaneously.
Europe DriUe Sure
AS the North African climax had
approached, Elmer Davis, director
of the Office of War Information,
had declared there is mo question
but that there will be Allied opera
tions on continental Europe this sum-
mer." Expressing his confidence
that the Allies would clean up Tu-
nisia in time to permit invasion of
the continent this year, Davis added
that it might possibly be necessary
to leave a pocket of Axis resistance
of Bizerte to be reduced by sustained
pounding even while continental op-
erations were under way. Following
the death of 1t. Gen. Frank M. An
drews, 1t. Gen. Jacob L. Devers was
named U. S. European commander.

Can Olive Crop

Can Olive Crop
Most of Americas olive crop In
pre-war years went to canned ripe
olives. Cooperative plants careful
ly regulate the successive operations
of selecting, preparing, sizing and
canning ripe olives. Standardized
sizes range from the small select
standard, maximum of 140 to the
pound, through large, SO to the
pound, extra large, giant, mann
moth, jumbo and colossal to super
colossal, in which not more than
50 olives must weigh pound

Entertain Yanks
Making the boys feel at home is
the theme under which British house
wives are entertaining American
soldiers stationed in England. The
British ministry of food advises the
Englishwoman that the best method
for this is to give him taste of
American cooking. To this advice,
however, must be added list, not
of the familiar recipes of American
dishes but of recipes making use of
all sorts of wartime substitutes for
scarce and war-rationed ingredients

FEDERAL PAY:
Tipped for Workers

The house completed action on
legislation previously adopted by the
senate, raising the pay of federal
employees who make less than $10,-
600 year.
The bill provides fiat $500 in
crease yearly for workers in the low
er salary brackets in the executive
departments, whose pay had not
been brought to this level by pre-
vious 216 per cent raise based on
increasing the regular work week
from 40 to 48 hours.
BANK DEPOSITS:
Top 100 Billion
Bank deposits in the United States
crossed the S100, 900, ,000, 900 mark for
the first time in history, according to
a report issued by the comptroller
of currency. The comptroller's re-
port showed that deposits rose by
more than $4,000, 900, 900 in 1912.
More than SIT 200, 600, 900 of the in
crease occurred in the last six
months of the year as industry
swung into full war production and
the nation moved into war econ

Farm Equ pment Check-up
Helps Lengthen Its Life

By placing farm equipment in
good shape now. farmers can insure
against costly delays later. Many
farmers know by the end of a sea-
son some of the damage their ma
chimes have undergone. However. a
mere checkup is not enough By
carefully inspecting every machine
part, noting its condition and the
need of repair or replacement, a
farmer can do much to prolong the
life of his equipment.
Last year farmers conditioned
their farm machinery in earnest.
The machine repaired last year will
have TO undergo another checkup,
but the job should be easier. be-
cause of the previous good care.
Many counties in the country found
that machinery pools set up locally
supplied many parts. Repair CEN
tiers gave excellent results, and sew
eral other methods were used in
giving proper attention to valuable
farm machinery. In any event. con-
ditioning work should proceed in a
systematic manner. To insure time
illness, machines are usually repaired
to the best advantage in the order
they are required for field use.

This Is Somewhat Mixed,
But You'll Understand Ii

Suffering has been described as
device to prevent suffering. Ger
trude E. Chittenden. Iowa City,
points out in Hygeia. the Health
Magazine for January. This defini-
ton may seem paradoxical at first,
she says. 1.-The sufferer does not
really stutter on a word, he slut
tiers before he comes to it. That
is, his suffering is an attempt to
keep from having to say a word
that he is afraid to start. He is
stalling. He fills in this period of
stalling with repeated syllables..
much as you and / use the pro-
longed 'a-a-and-uh' device when we
are cropping for the next word. The
straining and the repetitions are re-
actions by means of which the slut
terer tries to avoid saying the next
word.
You probably would have a hard
time getting sufferer to admit
this. He would insist that he is
trying his best to say word. not
to avoid saying it However, OBJ
jective evidence points in the other
direction.
Miss Chittenden explains that
fear of words can be built up if the
speaker has at some time or other
noticed a reaction of listeners to his
speech that has made him self con-
scious about talking.
"Often the parents who are con-
cerned about their children's speech
are parents who set up high stand
ards in general for their children,
she observes. Perhaps lowering
some of these standards would re-
lieve the child Of much emotional
strain Of course the general physi-
cal well-being of the sufferer should
be checked, and any physical de-
fects should be remedied if posi-
