ENGLAND IS
 UNDER ROBOT BOMB ATTACK
24-Hour Assault Greatest Since Nazi Weapon
 First Used

LONDON, July 19. = Southern England was the target last night and today of the greatest 24-hour robot bomb attack since the weapon was first loosed on June 15.
 Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's head quarters interpreted the attack as an effort to divert the mighty pace of Allied air power, which has been stunning the Germans.
 In an unprecedented deluge of bombs the Germans tried a new technique of launching them in salvos, like artillery barrages. They failed to divert Allied air power, however, and air raids continued today.

''T0p MAN" HAS
 FIRST SHOWING,
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Praised as one of the most en- tertaining comedy dramas of the season, Universal's Top Man" comes tonight to the Capitol The atre. Co-starred in the picture are Donald O'Connor, Susanna Foster, Lillian Gish, Richard Dix, and Peggy Ryan. Outstanding players in the supporting cast include Anne Gwynne and Noah Berry, Jr., while diverting musical specialties are contributed by the celebrated Borrah Minevitch Rascals, the Bobby Brooks Quartette, and Count Basic and his orchestra.
 The story of Top Man" de- clared to be intimately appealing deals humorously and dramatically with present day family affairs and situations close to the heart of sc many Americans who have read iusted their lives to meet necessary wartime changes.
 Young Donald O'Connor, star ot the recent screen success, Mister Big" and appearing in the title role of the new film, is said tc outshine his previous portrayals. He plays the part of resourceful youngster who becomes the head oi the family after his dad accepts a Navy commission. Susanna Foster of Phantom of the Opera" fame is seen as Donald's girl friend and sings several numbers during mu- sical sequences of the story.

Do you have poor digestion! Do you fssl headachy after eating! Do you get sour or upset easily? Do YOU fool tj1ed-listIess!

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails. your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly = often in as little as 30 minutes. And. you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma ture's own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 10t and 25f.
