The advanced into Italy, stories came of war that showed us how desperate In their despair, they became destruction of the water system in Naples demonstrated the inhumane side of the Nazi character. When the civilians tried to use the sewage water for drinking, many died, and even our troops felt severely the loss of one of man's basic needs. Other examples were the time bombs that continued to go off in captured areas, and the Ubooby traps,U made to look like common objects, that blew up when touched. Adolphe Menjou, a movie star, upon returning from an entertainment tour of the European front, told of a very close call.

We have just secured, and by fair means, too, an outstanding student's opinion on the appearance of the Ideal American Girl. ,The Ideal Girl should be about five feet, three inches tall. She should have blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Her hair should be fairly long and slightly curled on the ends. Her lipstick should be moderate, both in color and amount, and if she's naturally pale, she should wear a little rouge. ' She should have medium length nails ornamented with a little polish. She should wear loafers or saddle shoes. 4 The Ideal-Girl should not wear nJunk Jewelry.n Lockets or pearls look good on a sweater. Now, girls, before you come running upstairs ready to tell me you don't think much of my taste, let me tell you these aren't my ideas. They are the opinions of a Junior Boy. D. H.
