(Pohto by Bell; Journal engraving) A Fascinating COM MOUUUOlO PATTFR Though this quilt is called Windmill, it's really a double windmill-part in dark scraps of material, part in light. It's a very easy block to piece. Pattern 6777 contains the Block Chart; carefully drawn pattern pieces; directions for quilt; yardage chart; illustration of quia. eluding Prime Minister Churchill, have been committed to a policy never to surrender the British fleet to any enemy.

Because handing over the fleet means handing ovec the Empire. In their vocabulary comes before "surrender." At the outset of the Battle of Britain, therefore, the odds are in nobody's favor. And above all Hitler stands a chance to lose even if he wins. Italy and Japan can hardly be expected to play Alfonse to his Gnston after the war not with the naval weapons in their hands. Totalitarians don't play that way.

20 Bill McGee-han, 16, Canton, Ohio, is recovering from a mysterious fever which last week sent his temperature up to 108, which is usually fatal. His temperature is normal, Dr. F. S. Howe, attending physician said, and he may be released from the hospital within a few days.

The boy needed a donor for a blood transfusion last week and Fred Siegfriedt, Deadwood, was selected and after the transfusion, Mc-Geehan's temperature dropped to normal. He was touring the Black Hills by bus with a group of YMCA boys from Canton, under the leadership of Jack Coughlin, secretary, when he became ill and was rushed to a hospital. The party planned to go to Yellowstone park and continued its trip when advised nothing could be done for McGeehan. The party is expected to return here Tuesday and McGeehan will either accompany it home or arrangements will be made for his return later. Betty Weist Is Sugar Day Queen Vale, Aug.

By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer Washington Indications have reached insiders in Washington that Hitler's battle for Britain is being launched against the advice of conservative nazis and some German naval advisers. The naval command is reported to have told the nazi chieftain that the initial wave of a direct attack is likely to cost him two-thirds of the initial force before a breach-head is established on the channel. In short, if he sends 600,000 men he'll lose 400,000 of ttem before he gets a perch on British soil. Conservative thinkers are supposed to have suggested that the British can be blockaded into a peace arrangement that will establish a British totalitarian government, leaving the British fleet intact, and friendly to Germany.

The conservative argument also suggests that a direct attack risks the possibility that the British fleet will be destroyed, or scuttled, or withdrawn to Canda or elsewhere. And, without that fleet as a friendly force, Hitler stands to lose more than he gains by "annihilating the British Empire as he puts it. Japin. Italy Have Navies Here's the way they figure it out Germany has no fleet worthy of the name. If the British fleet were destroyed, that would leave the unfriendly American fleet alone on top of the world heap, with Japan and Italy right behind, in order.

Hitler's allies. Italy and Japan, therefore, would have the means of establishing themselves as first-rate powers by grabbing control of the important posts along the routes of world empire Gibraltar, Suez, Singapore. And this after Germany had done all the fighting, lost all the blood. Left to Germany would be the dying duck of the world, Europe, with its war ruin, stagnant Industries, and hungering millions. Hitler has personally promised Mussolini supremacy in the Mediterranean.

As late as July 19, Hitler also assured Russia that German expansion eastward was automatically limited by Russian ambitions. And the third nominal German ally, Japan, has already told the world she'll tolerate no change in the status of the rich Dutch East Indies, and herself expects to dominate all of Eastern Asia in the future. ThuB Hitler, without a friendly British navy lurking somewhere about, will have no means of pre venting Russia, Italy and Japan from carrying out most of their designs in the immediate future. He has written them all blank checks, British To Revolt? Then why launch the Battle of England? The key to the attack may lie In the speech of Rudolf Hess in Berlin the other day, when he said the German people hated the British and the moment was at hand final ly to make a clean sweep "to break England's power even to the ruination of the empire." It may well be possible that the radical wing of the nazl party and Hitler himself are convinced the British people will break under the strain of attack, revolt against their own government and set up a totalitarian state satisfactory to the nazis. And this before the British fleet is destroyed or even menaced, leaving it intact in friendly hands.

That line of reasoning is not necessarily sound. One of the eminent naval strategists of our time once told me the plan of British strategy in the dark days of 1917, when the nation was on the verge of starvation. i The British admiralty was asked by the American command how long the British could hold out. "Six months before we surrender," was the reply. "Surrender?" "Yes, surrender." "You mean the fleet?" "No," was the reply.

"Never. We mean the islands." One Policy Four centuries of tradition are back of the British fleet. AU of the responsible leaders of that fleet, in- travel the scenic Santa Fe Route West Dtnvtr 1 1 Pnln Snrins II Pnehn fit mml I. mr" A Kitty Arnold M. D.

Gift To Michigan Herd "Brown's a South Dakota thoroughbred Holstein sire, has been purchased by Ernest Bowyer post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Yankton, and will be sent to the national VFW home at Eaton Rapids, it was announced here Tuesday by Carl Zill, state commander of the VFW. The sire, formally known as Clothilde Korndyke 796514, a four-months old calf, was renamed "Brown's Bull" in honor of National VFW Commander Otis N. Brown, Greensboro, N. who attended the annual state encampment in Yankton last June. The Eaton Rapids herd was started in August, 1936, with animals purchased from state institutions at Yankton, Planklnton and Redfield by several South Dakota VFW posts and the herd, a South Dakota project, is one of the finest in Michigan, Zill said.

The herd is now composed of 66 head, including 25 milch cows, all registered; 24 heifer calves, 13 bull calves and 2 herd bulls. It was started in 1936 with 32 heifers and a herd bull. The herd is registered with the Holstein-Friesian Association of America and is pue South Dakota strain. A mile of wire is required In the manufacture of a full-size window screen.

severing Britain's vital connection with the Far East. While we are dealing with operations affecting the eastern Mediterranean I want to call your attention to the strained relations between Italy nad Greece. There's enough high explosive In this situation to blow a very considerable hole In the Hitlerlnn bllUkrlcj against England if much more heat is npplied. Greek belief that Mussolini is preparing to demand territorial concessions has created a position which could easily develop Into war in the Balkans. That is one of the things which Herr Hitler wants least of all to happen at this crucial Juncture, and one of the things which would please John Bull no end.

Adventure ef His Own Because of this peculiar state of affairs, In which one member of the axis partnership seemi to be pulline, against the other, It Is given to wonder whether Sinor Mussolini Is having a little adventure of his own at the expense of hia ally.

Possession of Inhospitable Somali-land, with its fierce warrior tribes may prove a mixed blessing to Sig-nor Mussolini.

However, the British characterization of his very considerable achievement as "Hn empty victory" strikes me as being rather overdrawn. May Hit British Prestige This' British defeat may easily have an adverse influence on England's prestige in the Near East and that Is important. Possession of Somaliland also consolidates Italy's position in East Africa, gives added protection to all its territories in that region, and brings it a step nearer its ambition to seal the southern end of the Red Sea, thus Our Travel CREDifPlan Money Pay Later For complete information CALL or WRITE -Santa fo Ticket Office, S.
