By RUTH MlLLETT

In a recent newspaper interview
the owner of one of New York S
exclusive shops specializing in
glamorous lat home" wear o r
women, said that when man shops
for his wife he is interested in
"glamor" only-even though she
might need galoshes much worse
than a fil1ny gown.
To point up her statement the
shop owner told about a man who
spent hours selecting a filmy robe
for his wife and then said sheep
ishly as he started out with it
under his arm: II guess it's kind
of silly of me, because at our
house she's the one who has to
get up in the night to take care
of the furnace and look after the
baby
Well, it probably is foolish, but
it is a foolishness Of which most
women highly approve. Because
when a man starts buying a Wom-
an nothing but practical gifts she
can be sure the romance in their
relationship is gone.
That is why war wives whose
husbands are sending them exquis-
tie bits of feminine luxuries from
all over the world are thrilled with
the gifts-impractical as many of
them are, and though many of the
wives actually need the money
spent on sentimental gifts for real
necessities.
The store owners observation
about men ought to teach women
a couple of lessons, too.

 BLASTED
 ON MOUNT
Fifth Army in Italy Win Stand in Forbidden
 Country

ROME, March l3--Fifth Army troops have blasted the Germans from the 590-foot- high Monte Spigolino, in the forbidding moun- tain country IA miles northwest of Pistoia, and repulsed enemy counter attacks upon the peak, Allied Head quarters said, as activity flared in the section southwest of Monte Belvedere, which the Americans hold.
 Monte Spigolino is about three miles east of Piansinatico, on High way 12, running from Lucca to Modena.
 Like the action in the Belycdere region, the advance is apparently designed to strengthen Fifth Army positions for whatever may be in store on the Italian Front in the coming months.
 German units further west and along the coast sent artillery sal- vos against the Allied forward posi- tions, while Allied patrols made contact with the enemy in the coastal section.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-The wonders that have come out of this war are a dime a dozen. On some occasions we have had to follow our enemies and race to catch up, On others we have been far ahead. Those who expect new world to bloom immediately our foes have internationally surrendered are go- ing to be disappointed. But those who think that the technological advances, discoveries and inventions of wartime won't eventually make over the United States are still rid ing the horse and buggy.
 Some time ago the War Produc- tion Board tossed into the lap of a number of agencies concerned with research, discovery and invention, all the problems that couldn't be solved by any known methods of production from existing or vanish ing raw materials.
 One of these, hardly publicized at all, was the production of alco- hol from wood chips and sawdust It wasn't so far back in our time that sawdust and wood chips were considered about as useless as the hackles on a dead rooster They have come in for a number of uses recently, but it wasn't Until the U.

BRIDGEHEAD ALONG RHINE
 IS WIDENED
First Army Drives East 10 Less thdn Two Miles
 from Superhighway

PARIS, March 13-First Army infantrymen drove east from the Rhine bridgehead to point less than two miles from the six-lane super highway linking the Ruhr with Frank On -The-Mai
 New gains widened the bridge head to nearly six miles at points along it's 11-mile breach in the German Rhine Line.
 The Germans, estimated at from 60,000 to 10000. are in a critical area.
 The Americans, using hundreds of rockets from concealed places, have prevented any assistance from reaching the imperilled Nazi forces.
 Gen. Hodges troops have cap- tured hill north of Hoenningen, l6 miles northwest of Coblenz.
 At the south end of the crossed Rhine salient, gains have been made eastward in the rugged hills and sheer cliffs of the valleys of Westerwald, but the Germans are making their strongest stand at the north end of the bridgehead where the Americans are but 20 miles from the edge of the Ruhr Basin, Germany's greatest arsenal A joint squeeze-play by the Third and First Armies has virtually eli- minated the pocket of Germans in Eifels, west of the Rhine.
 The two American Armies have captured 32,000 prisoners in the past eight days.
