WE ARE LIVING through the

and hopeful days in the his

awaited invasion of Hitler's
Europe is under way. The
greatest amphibian forces ever
assembled have established a
number of beachheads on the
coast of France.

through these our people will
become more and more con-
scious Of the awful realities Of
war. We are warned by our
leaders not to be too certain
OF early success.
The activities in France be-
come in 1914 the center Of
world interest just as the same
area was in 1910. Only now
these activities are in complete
reverse. Then saddened,
frightened and sore world saw
the humiliation and capture Of
the big French army, surren-
der of the Belgian forces, sub
jugation of the low countries
and the pushing of the British
forces into the sea. Today the
same world awaits the liberia

same British forces only this
time the British have the great

time there is no lack Of fight

periority in both men and ma

to prepare for history's great
est military action. The free
peoples of the conquered coun-
tries suffered these long years
in anticipation of the days of
June, 1914. What suffering
they have borne will soon be
known to the world. That
their sacrifices will not have
been in vain will be proven by

that the people offer constant

Roosevelt wrote and delivered
by radio a special prayer. The
churches of all denominations
held special services. Race
tracks, baseball parks and
many other places of amuse-
ment closed.
All Of which is hopeful sign
for conditions in the lives Of
men. A spirit of meekness and
humility prevails today. The
people are conscious of the
hazards of the immediate
future and of the terrible con-
sequences which might follow
failure. People are mindful of
the possibility of costly errors

SIAN LAUREL AND OLIVER HARDY AT
 10TH CENTURY Y

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are generally considered the greatest pantomimists in film history, sec ond only to the great Chaplin. And unlike comedians who depend more on the spoken line than on their innate humor, Stan and Ollie are as much appreciated in Europe as in the United States. Indeed, until the collapse of that market, their pictures actually were slanted with an eye towards foreign consumption.
 Haunting We Win Co., the goth Century-Fox laugh hit cur rently at the 20th Century Theatre, is the zanies' Hist picture.
 Folks have tried to analy2e why these two happy hooligans have been so popular, and they discover that it's the ease with which their routines are done that helps to put them over. Then, too, Stans brist- ling hair-line and Ollie's cute little bangs have made them very pop- ular with the fun-loving fans.

Market Letter

Remember your fling in the mar ket-in those days? Remember all the new terms and new phrases you learned: paper profits, margin ac- count, customers man, margin calls, call money, puts and calls, stop-loss orders?
 Remember when you had some nice paper profits, and were, per- haps, worried about break that might occur in the market? We'll, you called up your broker and put in a stop-loss order several points below the current market. You may have had nice profit in your stock = on paper, so maybe you put in stop loss order of two or three points above what you paid for it, so that in case the break would come you could sell out and still net a few points profit.
 We'll, it just seems to us, from our bleachers seat, that the Axis Die tators are rushing to place some stop loss orders to try to salvage some of their "paper profits" Hitler has plenty of them: Poland, Czecho- Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, France, Denmark, The Netherlands, Nor way all on paper.
 Mussolini has already been sold out.
 And then there is Hirohito. He's got lot of paper profits, too: the Philippines, big slice of China, the East Indies, Malay, etc., etc.; but he is in falling market, and un- doubtedly his stop-loss orders are al- ready in-with our armed forces de- pressing the Oriental Market. And so it goes.
 The sword of Damoc1es has changed to the Allied ax*. The thread that suspends it is becoming frayed around the edges, and it won't be long now before decapitation. fol- lowed by rigor morris.
 Apologies are in order. Don't take too seriously this comparison with the folks, including ourselves, who do little trading, now and then, on the Exchange-an American Insti- tuition. We just couldn't resist the temptation to have little sport with terms so well known,to most of us, which are becoming peculiarly fa- miliar to those Axis Bulls" who are feeling the humid breath of the Bears. :. on the backs of their temporary necks.
