Often the wife wonders if the
husband likes her dress, or the
way she fixes her hair, or some
other angle of her personlity. He
never says anything about it, and
yet, lodged in his consciousness
is appreciation of the very things
she wonders about. Giving ex-
presion to that appreciation might
come ufter she changed things up
or dropped them entirely. But his
words might have been said earlier
in the game and made the wife
feel better over matters.

the United States will hardly take
away the sting of the loss of To-
Germay’s invasion of the Soviet
Union.
Another of Stalin’s sons, Jacob,
a lieutenant, was mentioned in
dispatches August ,16 for fighting
with an artillery battery until his
last round of ammunition was
fired.
(The Germans claimed the cap-
ture of Jacob Stalin July 21 and
the Berlin radio subsequently car-
ried an interview purportedly with
him.)
Vassily’s citation said Stalin'-
son hud "excellently carried out |
military command projects in j

gressors, showing simultaneously j
bravery and valor.”

LONDON, June 22—British
forces in North Africa today have
suffered their most serious defeat
of the war.
The defense of Tobruk crumb-
led before a blistering 24-hour
axis attack, and the city has fal-
len to the enemy.
In addition to taking the batter-
ed fortress and its excellent har-
hor, axis forces have captured im-
mense supplies of material and
virtually the entire British garri-
son. Berlin said British prison-
ers number 25,000.
It is a disaster, British commen-
tutors said—a disaster that came
with lightning speed. For seven
months last year, Tobruk with-
stand an axis siege. But this
time, the city fell in one day and
despite reinforcement, that arriv-
ed only recently on a convoy that
fought its way through axis bumb-
ing attacks.
