Girls Carry Ammunition

Hundreds of thousands of civilians left Stalingrad some time ago, it was revealed, crossing to the east bank of the Volga. Factory workers and young Communists, however, refused to 'be evacuated. Girls who belong to the Communist party, besides nursing duties, gathered children whose parents were killed by bombs and shells and conducted for them a big kindergarten. A correspondent, writing for Komsomoiskaya Pravda, organ of Communist youth, said that young girls in a two-day battle in the suburbs ran a gantlet of fire to take wounded from the battlefield. When they returned, they lugged heavy cases of ammunition; ~ The correspondent reported that the soldiers. were so inspired by the girls’ heroism that they drove the enemy back and recaptured a factory and an airfield.

Use 1918 Stalin Bunkers

The Germans were using big and little © tanks—probably = 200 altogether—in an effort to ram through Stalingrad’s streets to the Volga. The defenders, directed by the general staff of the city council, had deep shelters, beneath the streets. New ‘trenches were dug behind grass covered defenses built by Josef Stalin in 1918, during the Russian civil war. Dispatches [Soviet troops were © advan g steadily on the western front (presumably around Rzhev, 110 miles northwest of Moscow), and had taken three inhabited communities, killed more than 2000 Germans and destroyed 20 of their tanks in the last 10-days, The noon communique said strong enemy forces of tanks and tommygunners had tried to drive a wedge into Soviet positions near Moztok, |" Bom er in the eastern Caucasus, and failed. The Germans have’ been trying for weeks to drive from the Mozdok area to the nearby Grozny oil fields. (German reports now were em-

For the Aircraft Plant Times Special NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—These are times when a gal has a frightful yer to “get away from it all,” and no one knows it better than Lilly Dache, the modiste ‘famed for the style-setting whimsicality of her always original hats. . But Lilly also knows that thousands of women are engaged in deadly semious war work. So Lilly smartly divided her new winter collection into .two parts —a group of “Escapist” bonnets and a series of- good-looking and very practical hats for women in war factories. Two ' of them are pictured here. 2 f J s TYPICAL OF THE “have-fun” escapist concoctions is the “Vietorian Topknot,” compounded of mauve pink felt, trimmed with coiled velvet fuschia, topped with blue, pink and black birds’ breasts and finished with eyebrow tickling fringe in blue. Down-to-earth is- the headcovering designed for aircraft workers, it is of non-inflammable plastic that hugs the head with a safety-first smoothness. The tightly woven snood imprisons stray wisps that might get caught in a machine.
