Republicans Gain in State, City Elections
Republican and Democratic political strength Is apparently more on a par than It has been for many
years, according to results of the recent off-year state and city elections. GOP candidates won not only the
po^ts they were expected to get but also some they were not expected to get. Three of the victors are pictured
above. Left: Walter E. Edge, Republican, elected governor of the State of New Jersey. Center: Joe R. Hanley,
Republican, elected lieutenant-governor of New York state. Right: Simeon S. Willis, Republican, elected gov
ernor of Kentucky in a tight vote battle. Kentucky had not elected a Republican governor since 1927.
The recent election was said to have been the closest In that state since 1915. In Philadelphia, Pa., Mayor Ber
nard Samuel won over his Democratic opponent, William C. Bullitt, former ambassador to Russia and France.

Carrier Transports, Supplies Tank
riHfflnMWniFWnWWB'1 — II —.—...—
Wear and tear on our tanks is cut down considerably by this tank
recovery vehicle which carries the tanks up to battlefronts. Thus, they
enter an engagement with cool engines and full fuel tanks. The carrier
is 58 feet long and weighs over 40 tons. It is armed for protection against
enemy ground and air attacks. It carries enough ammunition and ra
tions to enable the crew to operate independently for four days. The
army has labeled this new craft the M-25.

Jacqueline Clark, 29 months old, (right), who dignifiedly accepts the title
of “Miss Chicago.”

The gaily enameled unit insignia
you see oh a soldier’s lapels and
overseas cap are reproductions of
his regimental shield displayed in
the center of the eagle on his reg
imental flag. It’s a part of U. S.
Army tradition. Traditional, too,
is the Army man’s preference for
Camel cigarettes. (Based on actual
sales records from service men’s
own stores.) It’s a gift from the
folks back home, that always
rates cheers. And though there are
Post Office restrictions on pack
ages to overseas Army men, you
can still send Camels to soldiers
in the U. S., and to men in the
Navy, Marines, and Coast Guard
wherever they are.—Adv.
SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT
RUBBER
_ ___!___A
Of the 125,000 communities In
the United States, 54,000
have no rail connection. They
depend on rubber tire* fair
their existence and their con
tacts with other communities.
They rely solely on buses,
truck* and pasienger cars.
Reduction of the national average
mileage of passenger cars to 5,400
miles a year through rationing has
proved an I mportont factor In rub
ber conservation. An Idea of how
this mileage Is regulated will be
understood when it Is known that
55 per cent of the country's cars
are operated on "A" gas ration
books alone; about 25 per cent
have "B," and 20 per cent have''C"
books for supplementary supplies.

Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
waste matter from the blood stream. Bus
kidneys sometimes lag in their work—do
not act as Nature intended—tail to re
move Impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system and upset the wholo
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffinesn
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis
order are sometimes burning, scanty or
too frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use
Doan's fills. Doan’s have been winning
new friends for more than forty years.
