Negro seamen are stationed, made
one of the most sensational dis
closures on segregation and rank

the attention of this paper in

The informer said that the bar

Recreation for us consists of 10

According to the sailor, at least
80 per cent OF the men who come
to the base are grads Of the Ayia-

Memphis, Tenn, and hold certi-

Local Residents
Kin Recognized
For Patent For
Auto Attachment

Charles Sinclair Lewis, of FL
Paso, Texas, and brother of Mrs.
+. c. Dyer. local business woman
and wife of DR.. e. c. Dyer, pas
tor of First Baptist church, has
perfected and patented an inven-
ton which not only will save
countless lives now lost annual
ly in highway accidents. but will
also be the means of conserving
precious rubber
THE device indicates instantly
any decrease in air pressure on
any one of the tires in use on the
automobile, or even the spare
tire, thus warning the driver of
any impending danger that could
arise through a flat tire so that
he can bring the automobile to
hald before damage is done.
Charles Kettering, director of
research for General Motors and
a noted inventor in his own right,
thought SO much OF the patent
that he turned II over to the Ma
tional Inventors. Council, IA granp

aircraft producer.
presentation of the safety de-
vice to the public, however, prob
ably must await the termination
of the war when automobile pro-
duction for the public is resumed.
1.-THE very simplicity of the
patent will permit its distribution
at a low cost, the inventor be-
lieves and he is quite confident
that it will be standard equipment
for all models.
AN electrically charged wire
is run from the dash board to
each tire, including the spare. A
simple button-topped spring is
placed against the inner tube.
Full pressure in the inner tube
keeps the spring taunt, but once
a leak starts the deflation per
mits contact between the button
and the electrically charged wire
which instantly flashes an alarm
light nthe dash board, The alarm
even indicates the tire affected.
Working models of the inven-
ton have been on several Ell
Paso automobiles for three years.

Sergeant's Division
Awarded Citation;
Gallantry In Action

The 44th Infantry division, with
which S/Sgt. Calvin Rose is serv-
ing has been cited for outstanding
gallantry in action; according to
world received this week from the
European theater Of operations.
Since the night of December 81,
1914" the citation reads in part;
"the 44th Infantry Division has
achieved new success. Receiving
the initial impetus of the main
attack on the evening of January
2, you maintained the integrity of
your defense in the face of deter
mined and repeated attacks by the
German 18th SS Panzer Division,
supported by strong elements of
two infantry divisions. The col
lective gallantry and superb fight
ing qualities of the 44th Division
compelled the enemy to shift his
main forces to another area. Ev-
cry member of the Division and
its supporting units deserve great
credit for these courageous and
successful actions"
In writing to his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. ]. c. Rose, the sergeant
says their mail has been a long
time reaching him, because we've
been moved around so much.
We've been with the French End
Armored at Strasbourg and also
with the 3rd Army I'll tell

ing it has been more than IA days
since it happened. You remem-

themselves up. Come to find out
