The next improvement In com munication for The Bulletin came when the news room was moved from Wall street to the Franklin avenue side of the old Bulletin building and the 40 word a minute teletypes were Installed. These teletypes provided plenty of copy. Yet, a change had to be made to keep pace with the times. This morning, a new milestone In outside contact for The Bulletin was erected when the 60 word a minute printers started clicking off news. Sixty words per min ute for nine hours a day mounts up to 32,400 words available each news day to The Bulletin copy editors. This Is about halt the number of words the average novel contains.

DNB said that German-Rumanian, Hungarian and Slovak troops were steadily pursuing Russian forces on the southern front against weak rear guard resist- ance. Considerable war booty has fallen into German hands, DNB said. The high command said opera tions for the wiping out of en circled Russian troops are pro ceeding "according to plan." "The vast Russian spaces and the masses of troops Involved in evitably extend the time of opera tions," one informant explained.

TL.LWl' uiuiuiiii Cabinet Gets New Shake-Up Shuffle Criticized by Newspapers as Being "Minor;" Cooper Moved London, July 21 tlH-Prime Min ister Winston Churchill's second cabinet shake-up in three week failed to satisfy critics of the gov ernment today.

July 21 IP "Church- Ills," a new type of heavy tank being turned out in mass produc tion, are described by the ministry of supply as "probably the most ; formidable fighting instrument possessed by any army in the world." The weight and details of con struction are closely guarded se crets. "They are very heavily armored, giving maximum protection to the crews," the ministry said. "But despite their weight, they are able to move over any kind of ground at a startling speed. They have terrific gunpower concentrated In a minimum space. It is unlikely that many enemy machines exist which could withstand for long their devastating fire. If, for any reason, a Churchill is brought to a standstill the thickness of Its armor would enable It to be used as a small fortress." Seven Tiny Quail Lose Bantam Hen, Adopted Mother Seven tiny quail are without their adopted mother, the little golden bantam hen, "Henrietta," today and Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Mef ferd are deeply grieved, as are friends who know the story of the bantam mother and little qua.I. About three weeks ago, the mother of the day-old quail dis appeared, leaving the little birds, no larger than June bugs, near the Mefferd home, at the north city limits of Bend. Mr. and Mrs. Mefferd induced "Henrietta" to serve as mother for the little quail, and all was well until Saturday night. Sometime Saturday night, the foster mother, tiny "Henrietta," disappeared, leaving the little birds without any protection, or without anyone to show them how to scratch for worms In the Mef ferd yard. Mrs. Mefferd today made an ap peal for help In locating "Henri etta." Seven sorrowing little quail will be very happy If she can be located, Mrs. Mefferd points out.
