ROAD TO BERLIN via NORMANDY

Supported by tactical aid of thousands of Allied planes which pounded occupied France this week, American tank columns now in Brittany swept westward and southward toward Rennes and St.
 Capital of Dept. of Ille-et-
 Vilaine (Brittany), populat-
 ed by 98,538. It is situated at
 the confluence of the He
 and Vilaine Rivers, fayor-
 ably so for commerce. Con-
 siderable trad includes
 manufacture of sail-cloth,
 table linen, etc. Rennes was
 the capital of the Gallic
 tribe of the Redones. Malo. Rennes is only 30 miles south of the last reported Ameri- can position in Brittany. The ma jor objectives are St. Nazaire, 65 miles south of Rennes, and the port of Brest at the tip of the Breton Peninsula.
 Villedieu having been captured, armored forces drove south and east in the Avranche sector, wid- ening the bridgehead across the See and Selune Rivers.
 In the offensive from Caumont, the British smashed into Wire which lies IS miles south of Cau- mont.
 The broad implication of the British offensive is that the Allied line is swiftly strengthening to take in the whole base of the Nor mandy Peninsula for future thrusts into Brittany and future advances into France. Roughly, the base of the Peninsula runs from Axranche through Wire and Caen.
 ROAD TO BERLIN-via ITALY Reminiscent of Cassino, German resistance persists along the mountain line below Florence.

 the city is divided by the
 river and crossed by bridg-
 es, two of which are the
 famous Ponte della Santa
 Trinita and Ponte Vecchio;
 the latter was built in 1862
 by Taddeo Gaddi. Florence
 is remarkable for its we'll
 preserved medieval edifces,
 its magnificent palaces
 (Strezzi, Pitt. Vecchio and
 the Medici- -Ricardi). and
 the art treasures of Pitt
 and Uffize. The most strik-
 ing building in Firenze. and
 perhaps in Europe, is the
 Duomo (begun in 1298).

 the world, executed by

RIGHT DRESS

"St. Louis, Mo.-Victim of an unfortunate accident in the war plant in which she is employed, Mrs. Margaret Eagen, of St. Louis, now is recovering in local hos pital. When her hair became en- tangled in her machine, her scalp was torn off. It required 200 stitches to replace it. Doctors offer little hope that her hair will ever grow again"
 Such an accident is not unusual where female workers are exposed to rotating machinery, or similar hazardous operations, when ade- quate hair protection is not prop erly worn. Such coverings should enclose all the hair, particularly the loose curl or pompadour above the forehead.
 Loose clothing of any kind, what may become entangled in machines or catch on projecting objects, will result in severe injuries from falls or from the person being drawn into or thrown violently against the machine.
 Open or soft-toed shoes, or shoes with thin soles, are frequent source of severe foot injuries from falling objects or stepping on nails or similar disappointed objects Work shoes should be of sturdy type with low heels, and not those discarded for dress purposes be- cause of their worn condition. Ii heavy materials are to be handled, only special safety shoes should be worn.
 As to jewelry, it has no place Tn work areas under any clrcum- stances. If rings are worn for sen timental reasons, they should be covered with band of adhesive tape.
 A bit of sacrifice in personal ap- pearance or glamour during work ing hours will assure lifetime of enjoyment and happiness.

 Now then, if you come from one of the 20 states that authorize use of the Federal ballot, you've got to take an oath that you applied for state absentee ballot before Sept. 1 and didn't get it by Oct. 1. If you did get the state ballot, you can use that, of course.
 You've got to be 21 by the day of the election, Nov. 7, in order to vote unless you come from Geor- gia. If that's the case, you can vote if you're IS.
 If you live in one of the states that recognizes only the state ab- sentee ballot, you'll have to wait until you get that before you can vote.
 But let's get back to the Fed eral ballot. Here's the way it works:

and both envelopes, including the oath on the inner envelope. Then address the outer envelope to the capital of your home state and re- turn the ballot to your voting of- ficer for mailing.
 In some instances men who use the Federal ballot may later get the state ballots for which they applied. Those who do should fill the ballots out and mail them any way. If they get back to the vot- ers' home state in time, they will be counted instead of the Federal ballot. If they don't the Federal vote will count.
 Remember that if there is some thing you don't understand about the ballot your voting officer will help you out. And you can find the official dope on use of Fed eral ballots in WD Cir. BOP, IT July 1914.

How to Use the Federal Ballot
 In Casting Your Vote This Fall

Shortly after Oct 1, the co of every outfit that's not on the front line will set date for voting. On the day of the voting the co will give a ballot to every soldier who asks for one and says he's willing to swear he applied for his state ballot before Sept. i and didn't get it. Ballots and inner and outer envelopes will be given out by the voting officer at specified place in the company area. No one is going to march you to the polls and make you vote if you don't want to-. #
 Before you vote, you should find your Congressional District on Soldier Voting Poster No. 3, big map of the U. s. that shows every Congressional District in the coun- try. Then you should study Poster No. 4, which lists the officers for which you can vote and the names of the candidates. After you get your voting unit, you should read the instructions, fill in the ballot

 A. Of course. Many soldiers, both at home and abroad, author ize an allotment of pay on behalf of their dependents in addition to the family allowance, in order to provide their families with addi- tional security.
 Q. Is it compulsory for sol- dier to apply for a family allow ance for his Class B-1 or Class B dependents
 A. No. A family allowance for eligible Class B-1 or Class B de- pendents is entirely optional with the soldier and may be stopped at any time at his request.
 Q. Where should I wear my craftsmanship medals?
 A. The proper manner of wear ing craftsmanship medals on the Army uniform is on the left breast, below the service ribbons. See AR 60O-40, Section B (b).

'TEEN-ACE
CRIME CAREERS
CHECKED

The law has caught up with two
teen-aged Rising Sun boys who, in
search of thrills, or for other reasons
best known to themselves, have for
months past been engaged in petty
thievery, their operations including
the stealing of money, jewelry and
various and sundry other articles,
from several homes and stores in
Rising Sun. One, with more opportun
ties for travel than his fellow-com-
panion in crime, extended his opera
lions to certain dwellings near Port
Deposit and Zion, it is reported,
splitting the 'swag" in true gang"
fashion with his buddy.
These two teen-agers, apparently
without thought of the disgrace they
have brought upon themselves, and
heart-aches to their respected par
ents, have finally been picked up by
the State Police, hailed before Mag
istrate C e. Marker of this town,
and confessed to their stealings. The
Magistrate has held them for action
of the September Grand Jury, and
they seem headed for jail cells,
where they may have an opportunity
to listen, in their idle hours, to such
radio programs as "Gang Busters"
and the like, which carry with them
the wholesome moral that crime does
not pay.

STATE POLICE
OPEN DRIVE TO
ENFORCE LAWS

With plain clothes troopers riding
in unmarked cars to supplement the
regular olive-drab patrol cars, the
Maryland State Police have opened
an intensive drive to enforce the sta
tutory laws of the Maryland motor
vehicle cade, including the 50-mile-
per-hour speed limit.
Col. Beverly Oberly, superinten-
dent of State Police, described the
drive as an emergency campaign
made necessary by rapidly increas-
ing accident rate and the mounting
deterioration of automobiles and
tires.
Col Oberly said fatal accidents in
the counties of Maryland increased
40 per cent in June, 1914, over June,
1943 Motor-vehicle operation in the
State in June, 1914, increased 1851
per cent over the previous June.
During the first half of 1914, he
said, there were 1928 accidents on
the highways, with 1874 persons kill
ed and 1892 injured. During the cor
responding period of 1913, the high
way accidents totaled $3.50, with
1853 killed and 2,886 injured.
"Tkere continues to be steady
trend toward higher passenger car
and truck Speeds he said. THE ra-
ito of severity of accidents is at the
same point it was six months prior
to the introduction of the 35-mile
Victory speed limit.
Colonel Oberly said the State Po-
lice never had the authority to en-
force the 5-mile-per-kou victory
speed limit and that the troopers in
regular patrol cars are continuing
the procedure of reporting such vio-
lators to the Office of Price Admin
istration.

''Tkis condition probably will con-

He said that to ease the northeast
