On this same day French armored division roared past the Eiffel Tower and liberated Paris Other Allied forces were far beyond the city, now joyousy hysterical, although sripers still swept streets with machine gun fire. Patton's spearheads shot across the Marne and into the World War attleields-Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, Sos- sons-and by September were nearing Metz Meanwhile the British had overrun the robot bomb launching platforms along the coast and were speeding into Holland Hodges raced the Lux embourg border September Il and the next day was in Germany The U. S. 7th Army, speeding up from the south joined Pattons forces. The Cana dians fought into Le Havre.
 By supply lines stretched almost to breaking point Transports and troop carriers took off from England, filled with fve-gallon gasoline to feed tanks and jeeps But the Allied forces were too oil-hungry to be satisfied with drbbles On September 15, with six armies standing near the formidable Siegfred Line, the general of fensive slowed to a stop.
 Eisenhower decided to try a long-shot plunge over the line. He sent special airborne army of American British, Dutch and Polish paratroopers leaping the Maas, Waal and Rhine rivers be- hind the enemy in Holland. The paratroops seized a bridge at Nijmegen and Dempsey's British rushed up to hold it. But the English paratroops reaching for vitah Arnhem the enemy side of the Rhine lost out when ferocious counter attacks closed in around them.
 The road to Germany was not yet wide open.

 The number of Germans who, like Schultz saw disaster written the wall grew rapidly after the invasion; and notable among the sdefeatists' were many generals whose advice Hitler had brushed aside in favor of his intuition General von Paulus who was taken by the Russians at Stangrad broadcast from Moscow, along with many other captured generals urging the Germans to over throw Hitlers mad leadership.

BATTLE OF FRANCE. II

I had been slow going for Bradley on the Nor
 mandy peninsula, tortuousy working his way down through the hedgerows which stalled tank movements and enabled the Nazis to make stand behind every field But during early July he had chance to amass new forces and secretly he put General Pattons 3rd Army into position to await breakthrough. Marshal Montgomery was poised at Caen to hold off the Nazis while the Americans swung around the end.
 The Tanks got rolling July 26. Bradey's lst Army with tremendous aerial support tore hole in the enemy line and Patton's tanks raced through
 It was mad, wild dash. Tanks with whooping infantrymer astrde roared out of St. Lo one spear head driving to cut off the Britanny peninsula while another shot down the road to Rennes.
 Air force fighter r-bombers-called "Jabo" by the fearing foe-chopped Nazi rear lines Pilots carried maps strapped to their legs and notified by radio when the adv ance changed the bomb line But Patton soon was out-racing the maps.
 The 3rd's tanks swung around at the Loire river and headed north There were 300OO0 Germans Soutr of the Loire who might have crushed their But Patton counted the air force to protect them Every time the Germans tried to attack they found fighters and light bombers sweeping all them.
 Meanwhile, the rest of the Allied forces were squeezing the enemy north of Caen The Nazis tried to pull back toward the Seine. straing plane caught Romme and gave him injuries that resulted in his death
 Three armies chung to the Nazi heels-the British 2nd under General Miles C. Dempsey, the Canadian 1st of General Henry D. G. Crerar, and the U. S. 1St under General Courtney Il. Hodges. The "Red Ball" express, huge fleet of trucks, raced down the highways in intending 24-hour day stream with oil from pipeline which had been run under the channel from England to France.
 The Allies almost bagged the retreating Germans at Falaise-Argentan, but large part of the enemy pulled out safely. The rest was badly mauled.
 Then another invasion hit the south of France Two armies-one American one French under the overall command of General Jacob Devers-hit five beaches between Marseilles and Nice and were sweeping up the Mediterranean coast with strong support from the French underground
 But the main spotlight the hectic race in the north By August 20 the Allies were at the Seine Inside Paris French patriots began slugging with the Nazi garrison.
 In the east the heat was on the Nazis, too. On August g the Russians outfanked Warsaw and were swinging on to Bucharest. On August 23 the Romanians jumped out of the war. On August 25 they jumped in again-against Germany.

By HELEN JAMESON

Daughter is fifteen and still
growing. She is taller than her
mother. That's because she is d
vitamin baby There's lots more Of
her than there was of her mother
at her age. She's been well fed.
The baby doctor watched her dur
ing infancy; she's had plenty of
physical training in school. Why
shouldn't she be a young Juno?
Tall girls are in fashion. It's moth
ing to bawl about, if one is cute
little sweetie, out neither should
one get. a complex because one is
taller than the average girl. One
can be queenly, slender. tall, like
lily. And that reminds us; the tall
. iris must watch their weight. 1t
won't do for them to go hippy or
Dusty or let the calves of their legs
fatten.
DON'T DISGUISE 1T
A teacher of physical education
says, eff you are tall, look every
inch of your height; don't try to
disguise it. Many tall girls have
the habit of bending, throwing their
shoulders forward SO they won't
look like human Steeples. 1t is a
mistake. Good posture is especial
ly necessary with them; it gives
them distinction. Yes, they're tall,
and what of it? Let them noG only
make the best of it. but glorify it
by appearing splendid.
Tall women, like those who are
overweight, must be keen about
grooming. The woman of average
build sort of blends into the land
scape; she isn't as conspicous as
the towering Lovely.
The fashion rule says that no tall
girl should wear high hat. That's
all right. Neither should she wear
flat, low-crowned one if it does
not flatter her features. A hat with
crown of moderate height is good
and a sweet little bunch of moth
ing stuck over one eye is often a
millinery triumph for girls of this
cut and form.
LENGTH IMPORTANT
The length of the gown! All!
There you have. Il problem. For
evening, the sweeping drapries are
glorious, can't be too long, too full,
too graceful. But the street dress
must be precisely the right length,
not so short that it makes girl
look all legs, and not so long that
it makes faces at the prevailing
mode

of hope and Self-faith for all. the
