Take another look at the picture above. That, folks, is what has happened since last = UP - with the pace accelerating the farther we go. Last September, with this trend already under way, we said we would carry the load until it could no longer be shouldered alone. Now —what We’ve a hunch your answer might be something like this: “Above all, give me quality. And keep your service at its best. True, this may call for higher prices—anyone can see that. But on that score I know Bond’s will shoot square. I still remember how you folks did NOT raise prices last Fall, when so many did.” Isn't that just would you do, today? about it? Thanks! Your confidence—=and the huge volume it has built for us=will always pay you large dividends. This Spring they’ll be larger than ever! Now, with very much greater costs facing all industry, you can bet on this = Bond’s rapidly expanding business, Bond’s greater purchasing _power, Bond’s unique ability to effect savings all along the line, will help wipe out a good slice of present increases.

CAIRO, Egypt, Jan. 19.—More than 14,000 Germans and Ital- ians crowded British prison camps today as a result of the imperial desert army’s mopup of the Halfaya-Salum pockets near the Egyptian-Libyan frontier. ‘These Axis losses, which take no account of the dead and wounded, were inflicted at the cost of only 100 killed and 400 wounded, a Brit- ish communique said. Among the prisoners were two Italian generals, bringing the Brit-! ish bag to 79, and & senior German officer who wore the Iron Cross, a Maj. Bach. Turn Attention to Rommel. Their supply line now uninter- rupted, the British turned their at- tention to the main body of Gen. Erwin Rommel’s troops just east of El Aghelia, on the Gulf of Sirte. Bad weather has restricted operations for nearly a week, during which the Axis forces have dug in and pos- sibly been reinforced. The British, proudly recounting their victorious sweep through Bar- dia, Salum and Halfaya, credited “close and effective” co-operation of their land, navy and air forces for their success. South African troops were given the major chare of praise. Large quantities of usable war booty were seized with the prisoners. The communique said 4,775 pris- oners from the surrendered Axis garrison at Halfaya had been count- ed 30 far, but that the list was not complete. Among them. it said, 48 German officers and 1,770 ‘Germans of other ranks so far have been accounted for and 173 Italian officers and 2,- 784 Italian troops. Poles to Fight in Near East. Poles being forged into a new | fighting force in Soviet Russia after their release from prison camps are to go back into the field under the British Near East command. An informed source said last night Premier Joseph Stalin had agreed to allow 25,000 Poles of military age, chiefly men taken prisoner when | Russia took over the eastern part of Poland by agreement with Ger- many, to leave Russia. Polish forces already are fighting with the British—notably troops | who were landed in the Libyan port | of Tobruk when it was besieged by | Axis forces now cleaned out of | Eastern Libya. |Hourly Wage Eamfigs Hit| | New High of 78.1 Cents With an increase of 1.5 per cent of wage earners in manufacturing new high lever of 78.1 cents, Sec- retary Perkins reported today. Since many industries reduced hours because of the Armistice Day holiday, weekly earnings declined slightly. “This rise in average hourly earnings for all manufacturing was partly a result of the substantial seasonal decline in employment in the low-wage canning industry,” “Wage rate increases were only ported than in any month since | March, 1941, Over the preceeding year hourly earnings rose 15 per cent; average hours worked per week (403) increased 4 per cent, and weekly earnings ($32.81) ad- vanced 21 per cent.” Between October 15 and Novem- ber 15 wage increases ave 8 per cent were received by approxi- mately 174,000 wage earners in 630 manufacturing establishments, ac- cording to the Bureau of Labor statistics. Machine tool and machine tool accessories industries continued to operate in excess of 50 hours per week per wage earner.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 19.—Palestine was described yesterday by Admiral Yates Stirling, jr., U. S. N., retired, as a land well supplied with bases and skilled technicians to serve Allied naval and air fleets attacking the Axis. Admiral Stirling told 1,200 dele- gates to the United Palestine Ap- peal Conference, which ended its two-day session last night, that Palestine “is the only country in the Eastern Mediterranean where there are technical scientists and skilled labor in sufficient quantity to make a real contribution to the naval as well as to the require- ments of the land forces.” It is not inconceivable that one of the major offensives into Hitler's Europe can be undertaken by troops which have had their starting point in Palestine,” Admiral Stirling com- mented. Dr. Abba Hillel Silver of Cleve- land was re-elected national chair- man of the United Palestine Appeal for a fifth term. Crosley N.W.

Coast Guard Chief Outlines Women's Work for Victory Lightkeeper's Heroism Cited in Address ot Patriotic Conference American women must bend every ! effort to aid the war effort if we are to achieve victory, Rear Admiral R. R. Waesche, commandant of the|f Coast Guard, told the closing session of the three-day Women'’s Patriotic | | Conference at the Mayflower Hotel today. “If we want to achieve victory in| : the shortest space of time, “thereby saving many lives,” Admiral.Waesche sald, “you women of this country must strike the bell for freedom and democracy with all your might until victory is won.” He cited the heroism in peacetime of a lone woman lighthouse keeper in San Francisco Bay. For about a day and a half, when thick fog settled on the bay and the bell ma- chinery was disabled, she struck the bell herself without rest or food. Rescue Described. Describing & Coast Guard rescue several years ago when two boat- loads of Coast Guardsmen were sac- rificed to save the crew of one ship, Admiral Waesche warned 750 dele- gates from patriotic organizations all over the United States that many will be lost before success crowns American efforts. The mother who discourages her sons from entering the service, he said, is “committing a serious error.” The child who finds himself in a world “dominated by the philosophy and tyranny of the Axis powers,” the Admiral maintained, will forever re- gret that his mother feared to have |. him meet death on the battlefield, fighting for liberty. The delegates also heard a plea this morning by Lee R. Pennington, F. B. 1. inspector, that the F. B. I. be permitted to handle espionage problems without help from the “amateur investigator.” Although wholly guiltless of un- American activities, Mr. Pennington explained, the person whom the “amateur sleuth” selects as an ob- ject of suspicion may be forever con- | demned in the public mind. Report to F. B. I. Urged. He requested that citizens prompt- ly report suspicions to the F. B. I. rather than attempt to be investi- gators themselves. A labor expert, Andrew J. Bie- miller, O. P. M. labor adviser, em- phasized the need of woman workers to step into jobs left by men enter- | ing service. Mr. Biemiller added that no group is giving greater or more loyal serv- | ice to the Nation's war effort than | its 5,000,000 workers on planes, tanks, ships and guns. To meet the new program, he said, this labor force will have to expand to 15,000,- | 000 men and women. 1 Yesterday Secretary of the Navy | | Knox sent a message to the dele- | gates requesting their redoubled | activity in Red Cross work, civilian defense activities in their communi- ties and maintenance of local morale. | Also speaking this morning were | Lt. Albert T. Noreen of the Edwards | Military Institute, in North Carolina, | and Roy Moore, director of the Na-.| tional Association of Manufacturers. | Presiding was Mrs. Charles D. Newell, chairman of the conference and national president of the Na- | tional Auxiliary of United Spanish | War Veterans. Before closing the conference this to pass their annual resolutions.
