| When China’s Alarm System Warns of Jap Planes China's air alarm system Is the world’s best, giving Chungking residents two hours’ warning of the approach of Jap planes. In the picture at right, Chinese residents of Chungking walk unhurriedly to their cave shelter in the hills. Left: Entrance to a typical cave air raid shelter. The people seem to be more interested in the cameraman than in the Jap planes, which are to appear overhead in a matter of minutes. Inset: Hillside sig nal system, near Chungking. Making Big Guns That Will Thunder for Allies The Washington, D. C., navy yard tarns oat big 16-inch rifles that thunder from battleships, as well as the eight and six-inch guns for heavy and light cruisers. Also deadly five-inch dual purpose guns. At left, an overhead crane swings a partial assembly of a five-inch dual purpose gun over the partial assembly of a six-inch triple mount (foreground). Center: A white-haired Inspector minutely examines small caliber cartridge cases before they are sent on to receive their lethal load. Right: Cartridge cases getting their final inspection.

Doughnut Time for White House Guards Steel-helmeted soldiers forming part of the White House guard are shown being served coffee and doughnuts by Red Cross workers from tbeir new clubmobile, a mobile kitchen equipped with a doughnut-making machine and large coffee urns. Beware the Booby Trap British soldiers learned from experience never to touch an object in captured territory until sappers announce that the territory is safe. Yanks are profiting by British experience. The U. S. soldier on the left Is mak ing a mistake in touching the camera on the body of this German soldier. Photo on right shows how it was wired to explode at slightest touch. Joy and Sorrow Two flashes from a captured Ger man newsreel, made at the time the Germans released French prisoners of war who had been held in German camps. At top, a wife embraces the husband she hadn’t seen since 1940. Below, two youngsters who watched the reunion weep because the father they expected home had not come. First Lady Signs Mrs. Roosevelt signs “short snort er's” dollar bill. Short snorters are persons who have flown across an ocean and who have been Initiated.

War's End for These Italians in Tunisia White flags held high to prove that there no longer is a combat against them, these Italians surrender to a Highland officer as Gabes, in Tunisia, fell to the British Eighth army in command of Gen. Bernard Montgomery. This is a radiopboto from Cairo. Jap Prisoners Leave So. Pacific for Duration Appearing quite happy, and with a definitely well-fed look, these Jap prisoners while away the time aboard the ship which Is transporting them out of the South Pacific war zone for the duration. Chinese checkers amuse the pair on the mattress on the deck, while at the right the lad with the bandaged toes grins broadly for the cameraman. Putting on the Heat in a Cold Country U. S. infantrymen unhesitatingly leap (top) into the icy waters of a mountain stream during maneuvers in Alaska. Below: A machine gun crew takes up position on a snow-covered, wind-swept elevation. Scram bling through snowbanks and wading through icy streams soon makes tough soldiers of these boys from offices, shops and farms. They become just as tough as the country. Sound and Fury for the Enemy Shakespeare wrote of sound and fury “signifying nothing,” which Is qnite the opposite of the sound and fury depicted here. Navy 16-inch guns are letting go with a thunderous roar during powder tests at the Dablgren naval ordnan> depot, at Dablgren, Va. Powder tests determine some of the factors which go into more efficient firing of these big berthas. Russ-U. S.

In the breakfast room the following morning he was asked by the landlord how he had en joyed the cornet playing in the next bedroom during the night. ‘‘Enjoyed it!” was the reply. ‘‘I should think not, indeed! Why, I spent half the night pounding on the wall to make that cornet play er stop.” ‘‘I’m afraid there’s been a mis understanding,” said the landlord, stiffly. ‘‘The cornet player told me that the person in the next room applauded so heartily that he played every piece he knew five times over.” CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT GUERNSEY HEIFERS HIOB GRADE GlERNHET HEIFERS, under one year and yearlings past.

Favorite meal with the soldier is chicken dinner—his favorite cigarette, Camel. (Based on actual sales records from service men’s own stores.) A carton of Camels, by the way, is a gift that’s always welcome. And though there are Post Office restrictions on pack ages to overseas Army men, you ! can still send Camels to soldiers in the U.
