hijackers who stopped another truck driver Friday night, bound him and looted his truck of several thousand dollars worth of merchandjse.
St., a driver for the Ziffrin Trucking Co., reported to Statd Police that when he was about four miles north of Bargersville, on Road 135, two or three men in a sedan, without license plates, pulled alongside him, flashed a red light and tried to halt him. Mr. Caldwell said he ignored the attempt and “kept on rolling.” The men, he said, then drove ahead of him, turned around and tried to block him, but he kept on going. Several subsequent attempts were made to halt him.

She said Mary Alice had not been downtown for three years— since she was 4 years old—even though the .family lived within two miles of the Circle! But when it came time to leave, Mary Alice walked bravely to the _car, sat down in the seat and folded her hands on her lap. She still had not said a word. I ‘asked her what sort of clothes she wanted. Her face lighted up and then clouded again. I prompted her: “What do you want most?”™ “The girls in Miss — room at school -are wearing snow suits, but mother said poor people shouldn’t be choosey.” When we reached downtown, Mary Alice could contain herself no longer. No “hill-billy’s” eyes ever opened wider. The decorated store windows were a new wr to her. 2 8 2 HE wished her sister was with her. At the store, the shoe department was first in order. Mary Alice said she liked brown shoes best, but I was disappointed at - what seemed to be a lack of enthiisiasm. ~ Apparently she was thinking of something else. She obviously was pleased with her two new dresses, underwear, stockings and mittens, but I still couldn't help feel her thoughts were miles away. Finally I asked the clerk in what department we could find snowsuits. Mary Alice gave an involuntary’ squeak. Her eyes sparkled. That was it. She had been thinking of

I nodded and just that quickly Mary Alice had shed her little jacket. s 2 ® ; E clerk helped her with the leggings and started to stuff" her dress inside. “Oh, don’t do that,” Mary Alice said. “All the girls at school are wearing their dresses outside their leggings.” The clerk smiled and did as Mary Alice wished. While the child put on her coat, the clerk whispered that Mary Alice was right. The mothers this year had decided that the little dresses got too much mussed stuffing thentinside the leggings and were wearing them outside. Mary Alice insisted on carrying most of her bundles to the car. Once she almost dropped them because she was watching her reflection in the store windows and bumped into a man who likewise wasn’t watching where he was going. ; When Mary Alice finally realized she was on her way home, the only thing she could say was: “Won't Evelyn be ’sprized?”

Announeement from Rome that 250,000 recruits have been called into thc army must be interpreted as Mussolini's first important step to enlarge the scope of his campaign against Greece. field of operations than Greece is open to Italy at this ‘time and it would not accord with Mussolini's economy of military employment for him to order a new class to the colors without active reason. In his speech of November 18, Mussolini gave the number of Italians in the army as 1,000,000.

Assuming that the Rome report|
of 250,000 reinforcements being ordered for duty is correct, it is apparent that the Italian general staff has admitted the impossibility of
pressing forward in Gueece under

being filled by the present new class. Mussolini, however, has said it does not matter whether it takes two months or a year to overwhelm the Greeks; so there is not certainty of a new Italian concerted effort being planned immediately. It would seem better strategy for the Italians to wait. until the extreme winter weather passes before
trying to start forward again. The!
