LICKING WOUNDS

AT TOBRUK

THE MILITARY SPOKESMAN IN CAIRO YESTERDAY DESCRIBED THE POSITION AT TOBRUK AS, “BOTH SIDES ARE STILL LICKING THEIR WOUNDS.”

On the first day of the latest attack, he added, the enemy made a breach of 2,000 yards like a blister in the south-west part of the outer perimeter but new British defence lines had been built across this point, which was some miles from the inner defence line.

He said it was quite probable that the enemy had lost a total of 50 tanks hitherto.

Communications by sea remain-

BED CURLERS IN COLOURS

Multi-coloured rib- bons are the latest going-to-bed feminine fashion.

Shortage of metal curlers is the cause of it. Most of the shops are sold out of pre- war stocks and it looks as if there will be no more metal curlers until after the war.
