The war department at Wash-

titions by residents of Oklahoma's
Grand river hydro-electric project
suggesting an arsenal be built
near the dam to take advantage
of power being generated . . •
Why not one for the Denison dam,
too?
The first of seventeen 30-ton
trucks being manufactured here
by the Knueky Truck company
for the Guy F. Atkinson company,
embankment contractor for the
Denison dam, has been finished
and turned over to the Atkinson
company, which placed it in active
service today . . . Justice of the
Peace Joseph Herr, of Lititz, Pa.,
feels he has a right to sing the
blues, according to press dis-

skinned a shin; burned himself;
tried to hoist a porch post and it
fell on his foot; accidently penned
himself on his roof when a window
shut down and a neighbor had to
release him; was stung twice by a
wasp and barely escaped a third

The Germans admitted losing
twenty-four planes.
The Nazis bombed the great
Aldershot army base where bar-
racks were set fire, it was report-
ed, and loosed hundeds of bombs
on Walsend, Eastcburch and Ports-
month.
Six hangars were said to have
been destroyed at Alderjhot. Anti-
aircraft batteries were put out of
action and barrage balloons shot
down. Warehouses and depots
at Eastcburch were" bombed and
set afire.
There was no comment as to
whether the devastating raids
were preliminary to a final offen-
sive in the battle of Britain, but
it was considered significant that
well-informed quarters said the
attacks could "not be regarded
merely as an episode."
The statement that "We have
won air control over Dover" at-
tracted great attention, since sim-
ilar announcements were preludes
to great German drives into
Poland. Scandinavia, the Low
Countries and France.
(The British asserted that the
Germans were defeating their own
purpose in bombing Dover's port
facilities since it would be impos-
sible to effective landing on the
steep cliffs when the docks were
smashed.)

What they promise in their advertisements,
and what they deliver in their merchandise, are
right there for all to see. i
If they deliver what they promise, they make
friends and steady customers. If not they make
enemies, lose patronage and finally go out of
business, •
Those are the cold, hard reasons why honesty
is the best policy—especially in advertising.
But the real fact is that advertisers as a class
afe humanly jealous of their good names. The
•
trade-marks of manufacturers and the published

recommendations of merchants are only ac-
corded to products which they can offer you
with confidence and pride.
You can trust the ads to lead you to sound
