The new writing on the wall this morning involves the Rome ; and wanted to forestall inter report that the Italian offensive! ference from Ultster. against Egypt has started, the wide-spread Nazi bombing ofifor a man to bet his only shirt Britain and the dropping of in- that an attempt at Invasion is eendiary bombs by the Germans , foregone conclusion. We over northern Ireland.. All of those might fit into the picture of an impending attempt at in- vasion. Strategy Sn It's well-nigh a certainty that Mussolini would undertake major operation in Africa to support Hitler's assault on Eng land. This strategy would be cal culated to prevent the British from withdrawing warships and airplanes from the Mediterran ean area for defense of the mo ther country. Extensive bombing of the Bri tish Isles would be an essential preliminary to invasion. The at tack on northern Ireland obvi ously was for the purpose of causing destructive fires, and this might mean either that the Nazis contemplated landings on the Emerald Isle, or intended to land on the west coast of Britain Emirs Market Mala and Grape Phon 3705 4 Free Deliveries Dally Tokay Grapti 3 lbs.

I.Vt a K.nf '" bvrt toa n low! to Invade England However, this isn't the time mustn't overlook that while Mussolini's move is essential to the success of an invasion of England, a threat of invasion would by the same token aid the Fascist chieftain, Air Control Weakness Hitler's weakness and it is a dangerous one remains his lack of control of the air. Un. less he can give the Royal Air Force a quick smashing, he will be asking for a mighty spot of bother if he tries invasion by water. Still, my feeling is that his need of victory now is so pressing that he will make the gamble if he gets a whisper of hope from any source. Even under favorable circum stances such an assault would be likely to result in a terrible slaughter of the attacking forces. It shouldn't be forgot ten that this represents one of the most difficult military-naval operations of all time, and the advent of air warfare has fur ther complicated it. The troops which go down to the English Channel In the ar mada of barges and other small boats will first off encounter j I the swirling, shifting tidal cur rents of one of the world's nasty stretches of water. They will im mediately come under the devas tating fire of the guns of -the British home fleet and the land batteries. They will be blasted from above by the Royal Air Force. Trouble Ahead - Along the English shores they will encounter shallow waters strewn with mines. On land will I be 3,000.000 troops ready to fight with the desperation of men battling for their homes and families. It is a grim chance which Hitler will take. He will be at once risking a great army and vast quantities of equipment, and the cream of his all im portant air force. But loss of life won't stop the Germans. Their strategy long has provided that the end Justi fies the means and has followed the Napoleonic scheme of mass attack breaking down the ene my by sheer force of numbers, irrespective of casualties. If and when the Hitlcrian barges put out to sea, they will carry what will amount to suicide squads. McMINNVILLE DOCTOR I KILLED ON HIGHWAY MrMinnville. Sept. 13 (Ai Dr. Vern F.

Furniture Trends In Style Outlined By Ray Carpenter Ray Carpenter, of Montgom ery Wards furniture deDart- ment. has Just returned from Portland where he attended a meeting of Pacific coast furni ture men on the latest styles and trends in furniture. "The big news this fall In furniture is the remarkable rise in popularity of the 18th cen tury style," says Mr. Carpenter. This 18th century style is not new, for it has been a good selling line of furniture since there has been a furniture busi ness. It dates back to the 18th century when Chippendale. Sheraton and Hepplewhite were doing their work. Up to very recently, however, this type of furniture was made only in the higher price ranges. but not excellent suits in this style are available In price ranges so low as to be within reach of even the most limited budget. This is important news to all style conscious people who have up to now lacked the means to satisfy their desires for 18th century mahogany fur niture. Another major trend pointed out by Mr. Carpenter Is the growth in popularity of early California style furniture in bedroom, dining room and liv ing room groups. It is being styled this fall along lines more closely allied to colonial maple ington and Idaho leaving Port than to the Spanish types which ,iand at 0 50 n. m. October lfl characterized it when it was known as Monterey furniture. As a result, lines are more sim ple and the growth of plain rather than decorated finishes follows naturally The conventional m o d e r n style, of course, still maintains previous to the meeting a de its popularity.

I 9 Commission's Review of Records Reveals $19,793 Spent General Aid Up Total expenditures for wel fare in Jackson county showed an increase last month over those of the previous month and of August a year ago. The towl last month was $19, 793.42 as compared with $19. 215.93 In August last year and $19,750.37 in July. These figures were part of statistical records received to day by the Jackson county pub lic welfare commission at its monthly meeting in city hall. A. S. V. Carpenter, chairman, presided. General assistance cost $4, 043 57 last montn as against $3,218.95 in August a year ago and $4,153.87 in July. Number ing 101, the cases of singles receiving general assistance was greater than ever before and for the first time the average grant to singles was higher than that to families. Blanche Ly man, administrator, told the commission. Increase Explained The increase last month in the general assistance category was attributed to the cumula tive effect of rendering this kind of aid to persons who other wise would be eligible for old age assistance, continuance of which was suspended about a year ago. Increased expendi tures last month were said to result In part from higher med ical costs. Mrs. Lyman counseled that more than ordinarily would be expended this month because provision must be made to take car of new certified old age as sistance cases for two months as old age assistance checks for October will not be available until November 1 and no one may receive both general and old age assistance in the same month. Therefore, she explain ed, with old age assistance be ing resumed in October, general assistance provision must be made this month to span the two-month gap.
