She gave as examples the tricorn

the popular sportswear that came
with the first World War and the

which have kept their soft lines and
their femininity and at the same
time have saved many millions of

Mrs. Backman said that American
women had previously enjoyed the
fashions created by Paris and it

them conscious of the fact that
smart and beautiful creations have
been done right at home and that
the Paris influence will grow less

general to drive the steel prongs of Yank in

reported to have crossed the German border from
Luxembourg in force

fire on the German border with the greatest col

which he pulled them out-temporarily
Soon, Patton will hurl the full terrible might
of his Third Army against the bending backbone
of the wehrmacht The bristling jabbng and feint-
ing are virtually done with. The militant man and
his army are filled with the momentum they
gathered in their historic race across the heart
of France
Patton's greatest hour of triumph approaches.
There has never been any one quite like him
in the history Of u. S. arms. He is hated by por-
tons Of the U. S. Army, loved by the great bulk
of il, was nearly "breken" for losing his violent
temper and slapping shell-shoeked American
soldier and has wept at the bedside of other
wounded boys. He has thrown an unforgettable
fear of God into the enemy.

THE 59-year-od, tall, baldish, hard-muscled, hell
l. bent-fOr-leather cavalryman is now in the full
heaving stride of an unparalleled comeback in the
