This Week at War
Reds Withdraw 
in Many Sectors

/

The Germans resumed their drive into the Caucasus 
with increasing power W ednesday and forced Russian 
w ithdrawals in other sectors including the Tsimlyansk 
sector, 120 miles from Rostov up the Don River, and the 
Kletskaya sector eighty miles northwest of Stalingrad.

The Russians claimed Monday to have slowed down nazi 
advances along the entire 300-mile front from Kletskaya, 
eighty miles northwest of Stalingrad, to Kushchevka, fif­
ty miles south of Rostov. Tuesday the Russians asserted 
that they had cut o ff the German forces in the Don bend, 
eighty miles northwest of Stalingrad, but they admitted 
more German advances along the lower Don River and in 
the Caucasus.

The nazis came back W ednesday with fiercer attacks 
than ever and it appeared that the Caucasus and its rich 
oil deposits were in grave peril.

Nazis 125 Miles Below Rostov

Germany claims to have captured Kropotkin, 125 miles 
below Rostov, and declares that the army has reachced 
the Kuban River. Kropotkin is on the railroad and oil 
pipeline from the Caspian Sea. Russian sources did not 
indicate that the nazis had advanced so far south but still 
asserted th a t the m ajo r battle was taking place far north 
of Kropotkin.

T he Russian new sp ap er P ravda urged the Red Armies 
to fig h t more stubbornly because of the crisis believed to 
be n e a r at hand.

Outbreaks Feared in India

Civil w a r loomed in India this week with th e Indian 
and British governments taking sides again on th e ques­
tion of Indian independence. Complete British w ith d raw ­
the 
al w as dem an d ed by the all-India Congress, while 
British accused M ohandas K. G andhi of planning to ne­
gotiate fo r India with J a p a n .

N ationalist leaders announced th a t a one-week ultl- 
^ m atum would give Britain its last opportunity fo r a peace­
ful settlem ent of the Indian question. If no suitable a g re e ­
m ent is reach ed , “ civil disobedience” will result, Indian 
leaders stated.

lf Freed, India Will *Be Ally

“ The J a p s or any other aggressors will m eet with a rm ­
ed resistance” if independence is gran ted , the Congress 
stated. A 1,200 word resolution d em anded independence 
with the assurance th a t India as a nation would then join 
w holeh earted ly as an ally of the United Nations in the 
fig h t against aggression.

lnexpensive,Too

Comely eo-ad* have solved the 
•veitp ressin f problem of crooked 
teams, scarce and expensive hose, 
and heat o f the summer day. It’s 
leg make-up, and, although there 
are a few precautions that must be 
taken in its use, the result is the 
appearance of a lovely sheer pair 
of sun-tan stockings.

Bona fide hose have lost out 
for summer wear, a Saturday 
night survey at the Avalon and 
Tower seems to bear out. Legs 
that don’t take kindly to too much 
sunshine 
look smooth and neat 
}When given a rubdown with the 
leg-wash on sale at the cosmetics 
counters. These artificial hose 
also give a finished look to the 
darkest sun-tan.

B ut, girls, heed these precau­
tions: ( I ) Use enough make-up 
to g et a smooth, even coat of 
hose. I f your make-up is too thick, 
thin some out with a little water. 
(2) F or a n eat appearance shave 
your legs first. (3) I f it looks like 
rain, dash to cover! These artifi­
cial hose dripping onto your Sun­
day shoes are a messy sight. (4) 
And if you m ust cross your legs, 
cross them a t your knees where 
your hose won’t sm ear.

Leg make-up seems to be the 
patriotic solution to the hose prob­
lem, and it puts an end to the in­
corrigible* who ju st m ust tug at 
th eir hose on Congress!

the place up with them!

Causing no end of excitement.
T hat isn’t the only good tra it 
the show has, but it helps to make 
the thing one of the m ore de­

tripe the movies dish o u t when 
film ing campus life, the picture’s 
portrayal of life among a college

Another Preacher Story

I have been cornered at last by a pr e a c h ­

It was last we e k whil e I was sitting se r­
e ne ly al one in the Te xan offi c e mi nd i ng 
my own business— you CA N do both of 
those there, r e al ly— w h e n IT c ame in.

IT w a s a creature whic h s o m e w h a t re­

Then it o pe ne d its mouth and sp oke in 
I hav e heard 

the most to mb-li ke voice 
since Ichabo d Crane was around.

“Are you, by any ch an ce,” intoned the 
voice, “ Mr. Thom as Turner, the colum n­
ist? ”

That w a s a hard one 

to a ns we r — my 
nam e is Turner, but that was 
first

call ed “ T h o m a s ” since I w a s c hr ist ene d 
wi th a Pe psi -Col a bot tl e; and 
I w a s n ’t 
“ Mr.” Tur ne r by any “ch an ce.”

But, w r a p p i n g my r ight fist around a 
ha nd y vo l u m e o f the Austin di rectory, I 
admi tted t ha t I w a s that person.

“T hen you are to have the opportunity 
o f joining m y crusade to lead the w orld 
from it’s h ead lon g path tow ard an inevit­
able h ell, m y friend ,” droned this fellow 
as he sat dow n in a chair dangerously close 
to mine. His fish y eyes fastened their clam ­
my orbs on m e and clung there, and his 
spm sterly hands

O f an Ideal N a tio n

A postal card cam e in from 
Prudence the other day. Pru­
dence, our young, mentally- 
energetie co-ed acquaintance, 
persists in asking embarrassing 
questions at odd times, as do 
many women.

H a v e you e v e r k e e n asked 
by so m e o n e w h o d o e s n o t u n ­
d ersta n d your n a t i v e 
to n g u e 
very w ell to e x p la in so m eth in g

s e l f ? l f an im m ig r a n t has ev er 
ask ed you the m e a n i n g o f an 
A m e r ic a n e x p r e s s io n or 
ideal, 
have you fo u n d it e a s y to d e m ­
o n s t r a te to him w h a t it m eans 
to y o u ?

Well, Prudence w rites in and 
asks what we w an t when we 
mutter about injustice directed 
at minorities and N egr oes— and 
what we mean when we clamor 
for unhampered liberalism.

All right, you try to explain

it.

The last time we had a dis­
cussion with her, Prudence 
says what do you think is most 
desirable thing for an ideal na­
tion to possess as a nation?

W ell, a f t e r th r e e B u d w e ise r s, 
a q u e stio n like th a t ca n e ith er 
be e x tr e m e ly ir r ita t in g or t r e ­
m en d o u s ly fo o lish .

It seemed both at the time.
Well, we said, it seem s to us 
that the ultimate blessing any 
wise people com posing a na­
tion would hope for would be 
universal and 
free education. 
The nation, to be a proud one, 
should he composed o f people 
who have an opportunity 
to 
learn not only a 
study and 
trade, 
the various 
all 
but 
theories of the sciences, gov­
ernments, and arts, according 
to their tastes.

We have that, haven’t we, 

says Prudence.

In a w ay , wa said. W a said
th ere aren't e n o u t h in s titu tio n s

Prudence 

says why 

share­

cropper problems?

That ain’t the idea, we said. 
The ideal is one that hopes for 
a day when youth can ask ques­
tions or read book* and find 
out ju st what is really going on 
and what various paths are 
open without the d anger o f be­
ing 
socially denounced as a 
radical, or w ithout the danger 
that his in formant will be dis­
charged as an educator because 
he dared to call a crook a crook.
Is that all there is to your 
asks

Prudence.

shouldn’t be 

No, we said. W e said educa­
those 
for

•whose 
lucky 
parents w ere 
enough to own their own home. 
And education shouldn't be just 
for those who are o f college 
age, whatever that is. Our kind

Negroes, Chinese, Jew s, Christ­

mans.

Preferably the state, mur­
mured the fifth beer. And that 
leads us in a circle, too.
Huh? says Prudence.
Yeah, we says. Because to 
have the correct state, we need 
that sort of education.

Maybe that’s w hy some men 
we know hate education. May­
be.
