suggests that if cows are fastened,
that they be allowed plenty of
room for comfort. deep, dry
bedding is essential for comfort"
he says, land it is also a distinct
aid in preventing udder troubles"
Calves should have barn to
themselves. It should be so con-
structed that each baby calf will
have a separate stall. When the
calves grow older, they may be
placed together and thus save
space in the barn. 'This kind of
calf-barn arrangement, enables
the calves to grow out much bet
ter and develop into better pro-
ducers when they come into
milk" Kinney says.

Dairy Cows In

Dairy cattle should be pro-

temperature during the winter
and given quarters in which they
can keep themselves clean, says
A. c. Kinney, Extension dairy
man for the State College Exten-
sion Service.
He suggests that the cows be
housed in a wide shed, open to
the south, and supplied with plen-
ty of hay racks. A good supply
of such bedding as grain straw or
shredded corn slower should be
used at all times to keep the
floor dry.

wild cries of exhortation from the

ed at the helmsman, whose driv-
ling had become legend. "You
can get sixty out of her, boy"
'Pass him, Fearless, he's hold

Fearless was a sensitive but
dynamic individual who felt the
passage of time as keenly as if it
were hot lead running down his
back. Taking advantage of te-
traethyl gasoline, sixteen-cylind-
er motors, and capitalizing in gen.
eral on the ages advances, he
strove to catch up with the Grim

"Some ride, eh, Mack?" he said
delightedly, using the Navy's in
formal "thou."
"Some ride, jack" I agreed
through clenched teeth.

"You really make her dance,

Fearless looked at his watch.
Forty seconds off my record,
he swore. "They say I'm too old

Widening their wedge, Zhukov's
forces seized Gorodenka, IS miles
northeast Of the Carpatho- Ukraine,
which Hungary took over from
Czechoslovakia in 1889.
Zhukov's eastern wing captured
the German Dniester stronghold Of
Kainenents Podolsk after q fierce
battle and, with the western wing
of Konev's End Army, Topped an
other 900 square miles of the Ger
man pocket to the northeast. The
two forces narrowed the neck Of
the Sale to % miles.
The Soviet high command re-
ported in its midnight communique
that the Germans were fleeing in
panic from the pocket In an effort
to escape being trapped. Arms and
equipment were being abandoned IN
wholesale lots.
Konev's main forces extended their
Bessarabian bridgehead along the
Prut River border Of Rumania to
80 miles with the cautpre of Skull
yany, only nine miles north Of the
railway junction Of 1asi, whose fall
would leave the 100000 Germans
in the Odessa pocket to the east
only round about lines over which
to escape to Rumania. The Rus
slams were advancing more than
II miles a day in Bessarabia, which
Rumania gave back to Russia along
with Bucovina In 1910.
At the eastern end Of the Jagged
southern front, Konev's left wing
drove across the Bug River on a
50-mile front west Of Pervomaisk
and advanced as much as 10 miles
to within 100 miles Of Odessa.
Gen. Rodion Y. Malinocsky's 3rd
Ukrainian Army completed q day

Sea port at the mouth Of the Bug

The Amsterdam fire broke out on
all four floors OF the building at the
same time and spread with light
ming rapidity to all parts Of the
building. During the two hours the
flames were at their height, the
downtown area Of the city was over
cast by a rosy glow, reflected by
nearby skyscrapers.
Shipyard Workers
The hotel contained about 80
rooms, according to police records,
most Of which were occupied by
sleeping shipyard workers. Many
Of them fled to the nearest windows
and attempted to land In nets
spread by flremen. One woman was
believed to have broken her back
when she landed.
Large crowds poured out Of bars
and nightclubs and followed the fire
trucks to the conflagration. Extra
police reserves were summoned, in
GLIDING every radio car In the city,
to hold back the onlookers and
prevent them from hampering the
work Of the firef1ghters. FREEDOM
inant in the crowds were sailors
on their way back to Treasure
Island naval base.
Police in San Francisco and Oak
land agreed that the fire 'undoubt-
eddy" was the work of the same
person who set fire to II hotels in
Oakland last Saturday. In both
cities, the fires broke out in the
same class of district and in the
same type of building. Total dam
ages IN the Oakland fires were esti-
mated to be $4,000.
Southern station policemen said
witnesses reported seeing two men
fleeing from the building minutes
before the flames were discovered.
The Amsterdam fire followed by
one week a 100000 fire which de-
stroyed a restaurant a laundry and
several fats in the residential dis
trict Of San Francisco. That fire,
however. was believed to have been
caused by defective wiring in an
ice cream freezer.
Leslie Mckinney, 80, a Negro
stevedore, saved his life by leaping
from his burning third-story room
to telephone pole across the
sidewalk.
Although rescue workers found
bodies in all parts of the building,
most were on the third floor. Three
bodies, charred beyond recognition,
were found huddled In an interior
1ightwen outside third floor room.
Gertrude Boyd, 81, Negro fac
tory worker, said she was awak-
ened by a terrible pounding noise"

Approaching the river above 1asi,
the Germans and Rumanians sud-

Russians who had seized the river
crossings. Soviet artillery opened
up, and tanks plunged into their
midst, scattering them in panic.
Drivers abandoned their vehicles
and guns and fed, every man for

The small groups who got across
the river were moved down by a

said.
Russian tanks and mobile artil-

Front dispatches said Marshal

were waiting only for the signal to
smash across the Prut into the long,
narrow Rumanian plain between
the Prut and Siret rivers.
German and Rumanian troops
were reported retreating In disorder
on all sectors of the southern front.
In one area, Russian mobile detach.
