German View of Winston RererRING earlier observations about the destruction of forests to produce paper, we would like to say that we consider the following printed piece worth the wastage of any number of trees, however beautiful, writes Nat Gubbins in the "Sunday Express,"
Air Raid Clothes, The models vary from a merry dress for indoor wear of the make-the-best-of-it variety, upwards to a dance-in-spite-of-it, and downwards (literally) to slacks-in-the-shelter. Some of these are very interesting. One West End house has invented a divided skirt which looks like a tailored one, until there is something to be straddled or climbed. It is made in English tweed and has with it as a companion a jacket of the kind which used to be called "dinky."
And this, from a German broadcast, was at least worth the paper it was written on:—"There Mr. Churchill sits with his glass of port and his big cigar, with a red steak in front of him, which he puts into his mouth in big pieces and chews and talks until the blood trickles down the side of his mouth.
"Mr. Churchill has been eating warm blood for fifty years.
"He comes of a good family. His mother was an American and his father was one of the nastiest men in England."
1f the description is true, not half so nasty as his son.
