Eire; Appreciates Petain

LONDON, Apr. 9 (Reuter).—In his address to the House of Commons, Mr Winston Churchill cordially welcomed Marshal Petain's declaration that France

·would neither act against her former ally nor take up arms against her.

"But we must, however, realise that the Vichy Government is in the hands of the Germans," he said.

"I wish to make it clear that without seriously affecting our war, driving fast through the Balkans and we must maintain our blockade effort. We have lost, since the beat any moment may turn upon inning of the war, nearly 4,000,000 Turkey. But there are many signs against Germany and those tons of British shipping.

Are you one of the thousands of women who turns her stockings inside-out? Sure, you do it because you discovered that the wrong side makes the average stocking look sheerer, duller and more snag resistant.

At last this mystery has been solved! The solution is "INSIDE- OUT" HOSIERY-knit the Modern Way for the modern women. Yes, actually knit "inside-out", these stockings give that softly dull complexion all women love --- but with the seam on the inside where it belongs and with no unsightly, scraggy threads to worry about.
