Way Also Is Cleared
For Leose-Lend Supplies
Through VoIkhov =
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 22.-Soviet cap
ture of Mga, key rail junction 80
miles southeast of Leningrad,
has reunited Russia's second city
by rail with Moscow for the first
time since the city was laid
under seige by the Germans two
years ago, Moscow dispatches re-
ported today.
At the same time, Leningrad
gained permanent rail link to tap
lease-lend supplies coming from the
northern port of Murmansk through
Volkhov. During these siege Allied
supplies had been reaching the
northern city over railway built
on Lake Ladoga's ice and a highway
wrested from the enemy year ago.
Capture of Mga, hailed by Premier
Stain yesterday in a special order
of the day, liquidated the tip of a
salient long held by the Germans
southeast of the former Czarist
capital
An Offensive Along Whole Front.
Reduction of the strategic junction
climaxed new breakthrough on a
30-mile front from the Nerva River
southeast to the town of Vinyagolovo
1t freed from German control the
railway running from Leningrad to
Moscow. 400 miles to the southeast,
via Volkhov, Volgado and Yaroslavl
Under direct pressure from the ad-
vancing Soviet forces was the main
Leningrad-Mos trunk railway a
few miles westward.
CToday's German communique
said the Soviets had landed on
| the southern shores of Lake IL
men, but that the bridgehead
had been smashed. Berlin also
forecast new Russian offensive
soon in the Dnieper bend0
The two northern Russian armies
were on the offensive along the
whole length and breadth of the
Leningrad and Volkhov fronts, the
Moscow communique reported. Led
by Gems. Leonid A. Govorov and
Kyril A. Meretskov, both of whom
were cited by Stain for the capture
of Mga.
Under continuous blows by Soviet
troops the enemy is rolling back in
a southerly direction and abandoning
one fortified place after another"
the war bulletin announced.
Other units of Govorov's Lenin-
grad army were driving south and
southwest of the city toward Kras-
nogvardeisk, junction of an east
west escape railline leading to
Narva, Estonia. Capture of this
strategic center would trap untold
thousands of Germans fleeing from
the east.
1000 Germans Killed.
The same troops were pushing
Germans in front of them toward
troops of Gen. Meretskov's army
racing west from captured Novgo-
rod. less than 100 miles south of
Leningrad. Two thousand Germans
were killed in this mopping up op-
Grafton.
Mga was captured in a linking
maneuver by forces of Govorov's
and Meretskov's armies. Here, the
communique said, the demoralized
Germans were throwing away their
arms and surrendering in patches.
Meretskov's westward lunge from
Novgorod netted another 2,4OO, dead
Nazis, several towns and additional
stores of abandoned material and
supplies.
The Germans also were in trouble
in lower White Russia. Here Gen.
Rokossovsky's Baltic troops lunged
out in the Kalinkovichi-Mozyr area
and captured Ozarichi, district CEN
ter rs miles northwest Of Kalinko-
vichi, and eight other towns. The

Rest Centers for Battle
Veterans to Be Opened

WASHINGTON. - The war de-
partment announced the army
ground and service forces are estab-
fishing rest centers in some of the
nations leading resort hotels for
military personnel returning from
fighting fronts overseas. The pro-
gram is similar to n already eff
fected for air force veterans.
Men will receive complete physi-
cal examinations" and each will be
evaluated as to his 'nost suitable
new assignment" the department
said.
"These detectives will be accom-
plished in surroundings conducive 70
rest, relaxation and diversion in
order that this short period may
serve as a respite from the arduous
tasks of war and as o%rientation for
further duties" it was added.
Five such Redistribution centers"
were understood to be planned to
start operation in September. The
department said several hotels at
Miami Beach, Fla, have been ac-
quired and are being made ready"
with negotiations under way at
other unstated locations.

Cherbourg Dances After
Wait of Five Long Years

CHERBOURG, FRANCE. - For
the first time in five long years
people danced in the streets of Cher
bourg.
1t was Bastille day-the French
day of independence-and the cele-
bration was held next to the harbor,
where a very short time ago men
died in battle.
American soldiers, nIrses and Of
ficers, British troops and French
sailors who helped to iiberate this
historic city danced along with the
French people.
While a band played, first serious
music and then American jazz, the
French people looked on in almost
disbelief. Finally the tension broke
and the crowd formed a little circle
as an American captain started
dancing with a Normandy girl.

WORDS TO WATCH

have already warned against the
so-called Intrusive r" which often
turns idea into "idear," Asia into
"Asiar," Russia into Russian" An
equally unfortunate speech habit
tacks an excrescent "t' at the end
of such words as attack, across,
once, wish, as, "attackt, %acrosst,
oncet, wisht."
Words that wag their ''t's" behind
them are not as common as they
once were. But they have not dis
appeared entirely from American
speech, and we need to stay on the
alert. Bad speech habits, like all
bad habits, are hard to put down,
and have a way of rising phoenix
like from their own ashes.
Of late l have noted a tendency to
give spelling pronunciations" to
such words as congress, banquet,
conquer, as, "KON-gress, BAN-kwet,
KON-ker." The ing" sound should
be preserved in the first syllable OF
the words, else an erroneous and
pompous pronunciation will result.
The correct pronunciations are:
KONG-gress

Farm Science
Steps Forward
Important Discoveries Sc
New Some of Them Are
Not Yet in Use.

STORRS, CONN. - Several dis
coveries in farm science are so new
they have not been put into general
farm practice as yet, Dean E. G.
Woodward, director of the Con-
necticut college of agriculture, said:
There is the control of mastitis,
which is one of the most widespread
diseases of dairy cows" he pointed
out. Possibly 20 per cent of the
cows of the country are infected with
this disease. 1t is of great economic
Importance because it decreases
milk production. The disease means
the difference between profit and
loss on many dairy farms. 1t can be
almost completely eliminated by
systematic control measures.
"Then there is Bangs disease
another ailment of dairy COWS which
is yielding to carefully worked out
control measures.
Faster Milking.
"a new system of fast milking
based on new knowledge of milk Sc
erection which saves time is being
put into rather widespread use just
now. This is the use of a hot appli-
cation to the teats and floor of the
udder of a dairy COW to prepare her
for quick and thorough milking.
"The most profitable dry period
for dairy COWS has been determined
to be about eight weeks. That is two
weeks longer than has been COM
monty accepted.
"Grass silage a be put up sue
c~essfully without a preservative,
providing the moisture content is
controlled to about 65 per cent.
"Ladino clover is revolutionizing
the carrying capacity of pasture in
certain areas of the east in much
the same way that lespedezia has
changed the cropping routine of the
midsouth in recent years.
New Hay Curing.
"Quick freezing as well as deny
dration of farm products as methods
of preservation are attracting a lot
of interest. These m ancient
practices, but new adaptations and
inventions are bringing them into
general use today.
"There is the use of caustic sprays
in the thinning of fruit stands which
eventually may save a lot of labor
and improve the quality of the crop.
New methods of curing hay mor
quickly by MASKING the stems and
by blowing air through the hay are
being tried.
Industrial uses of farm products
are opening up a field of immense
possibilities. Plastic products FROM
soybeans are the common example.
Industrial use of farm products
should do much to eliminate price
