YOUR HOUSE AND
THE WAR: Salvage
Of all the nations on earth,
we Americans must admit to
habits of wastefulness
known In no other country.
We have lived so long in
the midst of plenty that we
have lost the art of utilizing
everything of value. Now
we have to learn to sal
vage, re-claim, re-use ...
every little item we live with.
On the home front such
economies are especially
important. Every housewife
can devise ways of turning
things to use.
But remember this: in order
lo get long use out of the
things you buy, you must
buy them carefully in the
first place.
The close scrutiny, the rigid
testing of Penney merchan
dise.assures you good val
ue .. . an ossurance you
MUST have in everything
you buy today.

THIS IS THE MONTH TO FILL UP YOUR WAR SAVING STAMP BOOK
intended to hold open a corridor
lor Itommel's withdrawal, axis
troops made a new advance
agairisl Krcnch positions touth
west of I'ont du I'ahs.
This was in the section where
a communique yesterday disclos
ed a Cierman penetration of
seven miles. Today's war bulletin
described the new gain as "a
small advance," and said allied
bombers and fighters, including
the French LaFayeite cscadrillo,
were sinking in support of the
French troops.
Minor engagements continued
in the liou Arada legion north
of the French positions. 'Iliei"
a German thrust was reported
yesterday to have been repulsed
after a hard mauling.
Reports from the front said
that the Cierman penetration in
the ridged, ravine cut country
southwest of I'ont Du Fahs cre
ated a fluid front from which
one of the decisive battles of iho
Tunisian campaign might take
form.
Allied plans for a coiinler
move were kept secret, of course,
hut it seemed certain that one
was in the making.
French, British Units
I Fighting French troops from
j equatorial Africa joined with the
Hritish eighth army in speeding
Marshal Koimncl's retreat lo
ward Tunisia.
The news that the Fighting
French actually bad made co:i
tact with the onrushing liriiish
after sweeping northward across
hundreds of miles of Libyan il-s-ert
was disclosed last night in a
: communique from lirig. Gen. Lo
C'lerc's headquarters. 1
Lo C'lerc said his troops now
were "brilliantly taking part
with their liritish allies in the
advance on Tripoli," movi:i::
steadily forward on the eighth
army's flank, thus compressing
Rommel's fleeing Africa corps in
to a narrow strip along the Me.li '
tcrranean coast.
The Fighting French maneu
ver, effectively sealing the arc j
which the allies had thrown i
around the axis forces in North
Africa, was regarded here as a
j death blow to any hope liommel J
! may have entertained of makine ''
another stand against the eighth j
army somewhere east of the
Tunisian border.
The Merlin radio, apparently
preparing axis listeners tor the
Tall of Tripoli reported last
night that the city was alilae
from continuous aerial bombard
ment. Allied advices, meanwhile,
said thai axis troops ami equip
ment already were streaming ,
j westward from Trinnli toward i
! the Tunisian frontier, some inn
miles away.
