The girls, the incest and most
talented group we ever met in the
theater, have given more than 500
performances for service personnel
since the war began.
Out of about the same number
we have seen, there never was a
bad one. Some were not as good
as others, but none was without
its merit.
Four of the original girls remain
with the group as it leaves the
house. They are Anolyn Arden.

These forecasts are based or

Second, whether the Allies car

them to keep a free flow of mer

Now, following the sensational

gains by the Canadian First army
in the lace of heavy fighting,
coupled with the amazing Russian
victories, some military authori-
ties believe the present situation
may enable the final blow to be
struck before the month ends.
If this fails to materialize, then
it will require late spring or early

were nullified by penalties.
Green Bay trailed, 28-7, going into
the last two minutes, but long pass

Fact is, it was a host of fumbles.

Hound Competition

Berryville, Va, had a very sue
cessful hound show last night at the
high school. An unusual feature was
that, unlike most American Kennel
Club shows, there were three judges
for all classes. They made decisions
on So hounds ranging in age from
2 to 8 months to late adulthood, and
in variety from a near collie to a
pure-bred, English type foxhound.
Grand champion was Sam Stick
ley'S Pune, cross-bred black and
tan hound, winner of the very first
class judged. Stickley, from Stras-
burg, also owned the second place
winner in cross-bred hounds, black
and tan called Sea Snort. And Mrs.
Stickley came up with the best red
bone hound, handsome dog called
simply Red Dog.
The only other woman exhibitor
was from Washington, D. G. She was
H. H. Hale, who took best beagle
with her Gus.
