further penetrations can be made
by American forces moving south

The Americans on the south flank
were chiselling into the German

up to the rivers Sure and Clerf in
order to create a broader base for
the still marrow corridor into Bas-

In this area they captured Lief

ACCEPTS SERVICE

Stuart Ball, attorney for Wards,
was present when the governments
32-page petition was filed, and he
said he would accept service immed-
lately for the Chicago plant only.
The next step was to go into court
for arguments on the petition be-

took place about four hours after
members of the United Retail,
Wholesale, and Department Store
Workers union (CIO) went on strike,
affecting more than 5000 employees.
Immediately after the govern
ment took over pickets who had
been marching outside the plant
dispersed, and union leaders said
the strike was called off.

The plant was seized first April
26. The next day SeWell Avery, 10
year-old chairman of the board of
directors, was carried from his Of
flee by two soldiers after he refused
to cooperate with Wayne C. Taylor,
department of commerce official
who operated the plant for the gov
ernment.
The commerce department operat-
ed the plant until May 8 when it
was returned to the company at
President Roosevelt's order.
Byron, accompanied by group
OF army officers, walked into the
executive offices of the company,
released a copy of the executive or
der to reporters and Immediately
went into conference with Avery.
The order was effective immed-
lately, he said.
The injunction sought here was
aimed against the company as a
whole, ano government attorneys
said it was intended to affect all
Ward plants named in the seizure
order.
The government also asked a
declaratory Judgment from the
court of Jucge Philip Sullivan to
affirm the governments right to
take possession of the properties
under the Presidents executive or
der. During the seizure of the Ward
plant here last spring, the company
denied that the President had such
c right under his wartime powers
since the company was not directly
involved in war production.

To dispose of the first Strand--and to continue from there-wind hair bobbin-smooth on your forefingers all the way to the scalp. But here comes the trick. When you slip the curl of your finger, bring the ends, which are now on the outside, into the hollow just vacated by your finger. Maneuver the curl to lodge closely and smoothly to the scalp and spike 1t there with crossed hair pins. Go on now, and make the rounds of your head. When you're finished and curlS are brushed out, see if you don't think the results are pretty professional-looking for an amateur.

The great thrill in baseball lies in the fact that there are never two plays exactly the same. It may be a sharp grounder down to short but 1t may hit a stone. And there Is always the human element to take into consideration. Keep this in mind when you play bridge. If every hand were played perfectly
 there would not be much fun in the game. Don't get discouraged when you find yourself in a bad contract. Count your tricks care- fully and see If you can't find a way to make your difficult contract.
 North's contract on today's hand was tough one. but with the jack of hearts opening he decided to make a try for 1t. He wan the trick with the ace. Realizing that the only way he could make the con- tract was to find East with the king-ten of spades or West with the doubleton ten, he must have two entries into his hand. He there fore played a small diamond from dummy and finessed the tenSpot.
 Now he laid down the jack of spades, East covered and dummy's ace won. Another diamond was led to the queen and the nine of spades was played. When East covered with the ten. declarer won with dummy's queen. picked up the last trump and discarded one og bis losers on the long diamond

Salads Add Fest And Appeal
 This is the time of year, perhaps, that the homemakcr finds meal planning and preparation most try ing. She, more than her family, feels that her meals have lost their zest and appeal and need something to pep them up.
 There Is nothing better than Q salad to add that certain something to a meal. And I am thinking of those simple salads that require little time in preparation, yet are nutritious and appetizing, One real- ly needs no recipe but can make up combinations of ruits or vegetables, both fresh and cooked, and add a favorite mayonnaiSe or dressing. In keeping with the times the salad bowl Is a delightful way of serving salads. Just toss into the bowl any foods tht will make symphony of flavor, add the right dressing and serve.
 However, a few suggestions may l1e in order, FirsS of all, it the salad to the meal. As an appetizer salad with dinners think of one not too sweet or filling, such as leaf salads, not too large but savory, with hearty meals. For main dish salad you want one with plenty of good solid nutritious food that will stay with you. Tn planning dessert salad you like one of fruit with Q regular fruit salad dressing.
 You should remember to handle all salad greens and raw foods care- fully so as to keep their full vitamin value. Do not shred or cut too far in advance. Remember too, they should be cold, crisp and dry.
 Choose a dressing to suit the par ticular salad and use just enough. Try variations of standard dress. ings and thus add interest to salads Along with salads there are many tasty accompaniments such as all kinds of crisp crackers, melba toast, bread or cheese sticks, rolls and so on.
