VENTILATED PANAMAS

to cool the fevered brow!

Genuine Panamas these are— but rather loosely woven— so that air would have plenty of room to get in and to circulate around—

They're in good shapes— and they are values that make a fellow feel good! "Wearingtons" that's the answer—

OF COURSE, we have Panamas at higher prices—some new Cavanaghs have come in to sell at $20.

AXIS ADVANGE PERILS TOBRUK

British Admit Possible With- i drawal Back to Border Of Egypt.

CAIRO, June 18 (U. P.)—Col Gen. Erwin Rommel's axis armored columns today seized the vital British anchor points of EI Adem and Sidi Rezegh in Libya, placed the siege city of Tobruk in grave peril and threatened to drive eastward |: toward the Egyptian frontier.

(London sources said the British withdrawals may compel Lieut. Gen. Neil M. Ritchie to retreat as far as the Egyptian frontier. This area, they said, would return the British to their old defense positions, which now offer their only favorable position for halting Rommel's advance.)

Axis pressure was reported steadily increasing and the British position was admittedly grave. | Heavy fighting during the past 24 {hours centered in the El Adem-Sidi |Rezegh area from which the imperials were forced to evacuate,

The Moscow News’ correspondent said that an entire column of German heavy and medium tanks was broken up and scattered by the cossacks who destroyed “scores” of the enemy tanks. The anti-tank rifles of the cavalry forces appear much like the lances carried by their forefathers, the account said. The military expert of the publication, Maj. Gen. E. Zhuravlev, said the Germans’ third attempt of the war to knock out the fortress of Sevastopol was rapidly losing its striking power after two weeks of costly assaults. The German air force has suf« fered such great losses in the siege of Sevastopol, he said, that the scale of the enemy air operations has been reduced seven-fold.
