Victory Tips on Tomato Culture

II the tomato plants have be-
come "leggy" before the weather
permitted their being set out Of
doors. plant good part Of the
"leggy" stem along with the
roots. as illustrated in the Car
den-Graph. Do not dig real deep
hole in order to plant the stem,
instead put the plant partially on
its side, as illustrated. Roots will
quickly form all along the buried
stem and thus give the plant add
ed support.
Tomato stakes should be plant
ed before the plants themselves
are set out. II the stakes are
driven into the ground after the
tomato plants have been set there
is always danger of iniuring the
roots.

the building together. While Ger
man tanks weer still in the lobby,
New Zealand tanks did manage to
push within 80 yards Of the hotel.
The two enemy tanks eventually
were put out of business, and the
New Zealanders said the Germans
raised white flag. A fairly large
number from the hotel vicinity then
surrendered and later that night
marched down Highway into Allied
lines.
But the New Zealanders did not
hold the upper hand for long, and
the Germans worked their way back
into the building and, as now dis
closed, moved three more tanks into
the lobby to replace the two de-
stroyed.
The Germans back up their de-
fense of the hotel from caves in
the side of Monastery Hill and
buried dugouts all along Highway

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Ma

the world have endured the violent
days and nights which have fallen
on Casinos Continental Hotel
which now has three fresh German
tanks in it's lobby and a new con-
tingent of snipers in its windows
overlooking Highway 6 and the for
bidding sides of Monastery Hill.
The hotel probably has the worst
commercial situation imaginable
on the high road to Rome between
the German and Allied armies. Only
its sturdy stone construction and the
fact it is somewhat protected in the
lee of Monastery Hill have saved
it from being reduced to dust and
rubble like most other buildings in
Casino.

mrs. SomeryeII Tells
Duties Of Army Wives
Advisory Committee

Helping the wives and families
| OF wounded and disabled soldiers
maintain proper attitude toward
them, one that will help build up
morale" is one of the most i'm
Iportant tasks of a newly organized
Women's Advisory Committee func-
tioning under the War Department,
Mrs. Brehon B. Somervell said
yesterday.
BY proper attitude, Mrs.
Somervell explained, she means the
sympathy and understanding that
are so essential in dealing with re-
turned soldiers physically and men,
tally manned and requiring reha-
bilitation to fit them again for
civilian life.
Headed by Mrs. Somervel, wife of
the commanding general of the
Army Service Forces, this committee
Of Army wives has been set up to
cooperate with the comparatively
new Personal Affairs Division. Col.
F. Granville Munson, director Of the
division, explained at press con-
ference that its purpose is to serve
as clearing house" for the per-
sonal affairs of both officers and
soldiers in the Ground Forces and
the Service Forces.
A Steering Committee.
Our great duty is to get the
soldier and his dependent steered
to the right Office for help as quickly
as possible" he explained
Mrs. Somervell said the Head
quarters Committee would formulate
policy for volunteer women's groups
that are to be set up in Army camps
and communities for the purpose of
helping in personal problems when
help Is most needed.
Her q assistants are the wives of
prominent officials and Army gen.
erals and include Mrs. Robert p
Patterson, Mrs. George c. Marshall
Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Mrs.
H. H. Arnold, Mrs. Mark Clark and
Mrs. Leslie McNair.
The husbands of many of the
Army wives on the committee are
overseas and greatly concerned with
the welfare of men hospitalized in
this country and with their personal
family problems.
Committee Won't Overlap.
Col. Munson, in explaining how
the committee will function, empha-
sized that it will cooperate with
but not infringe upon any other
existing organization. such as the
Red Cross or the Army Emergency
Relief.
The work laid out for the volun-
teer committees that are to be set
up takes in practically everything
touching on the needs of servicemen
and their dependents. It Is not a
charity organization, having no
funds Of its own. Mrs. SomerveIl
said there will be no Overlapping"
