PACIFIC FLEET HEADQUAR-
TERS, Pearl Harbor, Sept. H.
Boldly sweeping 500 more miles
westward in the first Allied sea-
borne blow against the Philip
pines, an American carrier force
struck Mindanao Friday, de-
stroyed or damaged 80 japanese
ships, wiped out 68 planes and
laid waste to five airfields and
other installations vital to ia
pans defense of the conquered
island.
(The Tokyo radio said today
that about l30 carrier-based Al
lied planes attacked Japanese
positions in the Central Philip
pines on Sunday Japanese time)
the second such blow at the is
lands to be announced within "a
hours.

the Federal Communications
Commission, gave no details. but

Enemy Bases Blanketed.
The Friday attack - announced
late yesterday from fleet headquar-
tiers at Pearl Harbor-blanketed i'm
portant known enemy bases on the
island from Sarangani Bay on the
south to Surigao at the extreme
north. 1t was far westward of any
previous carrier strike in the South
west Pacific.
The action was notable not only
for destruction inflicted, but for the
absence of real surface or aerial op-
position.
A Goth enemy ship was blasted of
Two Jima, in the Volcano Islands
south of Japan.
Most spectacular of the actions
was the complete destruction of a
52-ship convoy discovered off Hina-
tuan Bay, on the eastern side OF
Mindanao, most southerly of the
Philippines. In the convoy were 80
loaded coastal cargo ships and 20
sampans. Cruisers, destroyers and
carrier aircraft destroyed every ship.
The size of the attacking air flee,
was secret, of course, but a Berlin
broadcast earlier said 300 fighters
and bombers swarmed over Min
danao.
The airfields at Del Monte, Va
lencia, Cagayan, Buayan and Davae
were bombed and strafed," Admiral
Chester Nimitz's communique said
Eight enemy planes rose to contest
these strikes, and all were shot
down.

Take My Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY
AtOlI Again.

We Americans have a curious way
with words, as perhaps you have
noticed When a relatively little
used word becomes popular, ATOLL,
for example, we make guess at
the pronunciation, instead of first
going to a reliable dictionary and,
nine times in ten, our guess is wrong.
AS have pointed out in previous
article, the authorities are divided
as to the exact origin of the word
atoll. But it is safe to assume that
it comes from one of the native dia-
lects of the Pacific Ocean area. The
authorities do not sanction the pro-
nunciation -tole," or "a-TOLE.'
Dictionary consensus is a tossup
between AT-oll and uh-TOLL, both
second 'syllables rhyming with doll.

These beetles are troublemakers fol-
the directors of museums where
valuable birds and animals are or
display. The tiny insects enter the
cases, destroying the feathers and
hair of specimens. 1t was never
dreamed the larvae of these beetles
would be found feasting on freshly
laid eggs Of tuSsock moths.
So the egg masses of the moth
were closely observed and another
discovery made. The young der
mestid beetles had a deadly foe
which proved to be the offspring
of the parasitic wasp, a bethylid
She was using the bodies of the
dermestids for an anchor and food
for her offspring. She was, in other
words, destroying the beetles which
were leSSening the hordeS of tus-
sock caterpillars-our shade-tree
foes.
Laelius is a slender black wasp
with four glittering wings and a
powerful hypodermic needle. Land
ing close to an egg mass of tuSsock
moth eggs, she waits quietly. Sc
lecting fat dermestid larva, she
springs on his back, grasps him
close while she curves her abdomen
under his body.
Carefully she inserts her poison
filled needle just behind the second
and third pair of legs. The frantic
struggles OF the beetle cease. The
poison has entered one of the thoric
ganglia and paralysis follows.
To be sure her victim is uncon-
scious. Laelius pulls his legs and
tweaks his hair. Then she anchors
her egg on his skin. She makes

the name of our recently captured
atoll in the Marshall Islands, KWA-

|KWAH- juh-lin by the United States

stantiated by the spelling Kwad-
ljelinn in the Rand McNally World

Further evidence that the, correct
pronunciation Of the third syllable
Is not line, lane, lean" or Iay-
EEN," comes from no less an au-
thority than Admiral Chester w.
Nimitz himself, who writes to me
from his Pacific Ocean areas head
quarters: THE spelling is Kwaja-
lein on official photographic charts.
A less common but optional spelling
is Kwadjelinn, and this optional
spelling gives the clue to the proper
pronunciation. The last syllable
rhymes with pin" and is not ac-
cented.'

 TRIAL FOR BLACK

PARIS, Dec. PA high-ranking American officer today predicted many shiny details will be m- folded in February when the Army brings to trial another batch of U. S. servicemen accused of selling cigarettes, gasoline and other mili- tary supplies on the French black market.
 T know of tanks sitting empty without a drop of gasoline while soldiers behind the lines peddled it by the gallon" the officer said as he discussed the thefts and hi- lacking activities of scores of sol diers already sentenced to prison terms ranging from one year to life.
 The statement indicated that new light might be shed upon the ex- tent of American soldiers participa- tion in the black market, although many general officers denied the loss of supplies or gasoline, esti- mated at several hundred thousand gallons in weeks, affected the cur rent military situation.

SET AT $l,l25

doing repair work to the Chestnut
Heights school, damaged by de-
structive young vandals who en-
tered the building sometimes over
the weekend, is SLIPS. according
to j.. w. Grise, assistant superin-
.tendenf of schools. .e-t
Grise revealed that the work Of
repairing the hundreds Of glass
window panes broken could not be
handled by a local concern, 50 ex-
tensive was the damage. The low
bidder is Richmond glass firm.
Grise also revealed that a hear
ing had been set for last night, in
which parents Of three OF the
youths believed to have been i'm
plicated in the destruction were to
participate. Names Of the boys are
being withheld.
Not only weee two-thirds OF the
window panes destroyed, but glass
doors on the interior Of the struc.
ture, pictures. light bulbs and
many other types Of breakable ma
terials were ruined.
Grise said he did not know
whether or not all the work could
be accomplished by the time set
for the opening of schools, Septem-
Der 4.
He declared that the low-big fig
ure does not take into considera-
ton the labor, which must be fur
nished by the school board, to re-
move the broken glass, clean up
the building, and wash the new
paaes. In addition, he explained,
painting will have to be d on
around the broken windows.
Vandalism in the local schools
has been occurring at fairly FIRE.
quent intervals for several months.
Just two weeks ago., IS glasses
were broken in the new Lake For.
