"It is a well known phenom
enon that in the summer the
growth oj hair is more rapid,”
says Dr. Arnold Lorand;
Vienna Dermatologist.
OpHAT Hair grows faster in the summer than at any
other season is an established scientific fact. You can
take advantage of this seasonal peculiarity by starting
Thomas’ hair and scalp treatment at once.
Your hair will respond more quickly to this famous
proved method of treatment now than at any other time.
Within an unusually short time your dandruff will dis
appear, abnormal hairfall will stop, and new hair will
actually be visible on the thin and bald spots. Call at the
Thomas’ office and talk your problem over with the
expert in charge. He will gladly examine your scalp with
out c^ar8e or obligation and frankly tell you
jV'tsiiWiiir A w^at Thomas’ treatment can do for you.

j Modem War Plans
Require Fair Skies,
Weather Chief Says
Comdr. Reichelderfer
Tells Air Group of
Co-ordination Need
By the Associated Pres*.
DENVER, July 8.—Modern armies
can keep their powder dry without
stopping the fight, but complex and
carefully co-ordinated battle plans
may be wrecked by the weather.
Comdr. Francis W. Reichelderfer,
chief of the United States Weather
Bureau, explained to the National
Aeronautical Association Congress
today how military arms have de
veloped so they can operate with
out much concern over the weather
when acting independently.
“But what they have gained in
weather-worthiness they have lost
through the Influence of the weather
upon co-ordination," the retired
naval officer said.
“An army or a fleet is a complex
organization with highly specialized
arms which must be carefully co
ordinated. Sometimes the entry of
a squadron of aerial bombers, a di
vision of torpedo boat destroyers, or
a detachment of tanks on the scene
of a battle must be timed almost to
the minute if the plan of action is
to be carried through successfully."
An unexpected cloud ceiling, a
sudden squall or fog, or a shift of
wind may prevent co-ordination and
wreck the entire movement, Comdr.
Reichelderfer explained.
The coastline of the United States,
he maintained, must depend upon
a mobile defens, instead of a Chinese
wall or a Maginot Line. This re
quires a thorough consideration of
weather conditions.
He estimated that this country
will need for defense purposes from
two to three times as many compe
tent meteorologists and weather
forecasters as are now available.

plane flew over a Southeast England
town, but turned back toward the
east amid a hail of anti-aircraft
fire. It apparently escaped.
In yesterday's attacks Nazi
bombers struck at points all along
the coast.
They ran head-on into concen
trated anti-aircraft Are and British
fighting planes and two bombers
were sent plunging into the Channel.
But under the protection of Mes
serschmitts that engaged the British
planes in spectacular dogfights some
of them broke through the coastal
defenses and penetrated inland to
drop incendiary and delayed-action
bombs.
Planes Over West England.
They appeared three times over
Western England, which was raided
four times on Saturday and once
Frida %
A third oomber was brought down
last night, while four of the protect
ing Nazi fighters were shot out of
the skies and a fifth "probably de
stroyed,” according to the Air Min
istry.
One policeman was among those
killed. A postmaster and his wife
were believed buried in the ruins of
their post office in a southwest town.
Houses were wrecked and an un
told number of persons injured.
But on the other side of the pic
ture, Britons hailed these factors:
The London Times quoted an Air
Ministry estimate of 40 Nazi planes
downed in the last two weeks (the
raiders have failed to appear only
one day out of the last 20) and 2,500
destroyed by British forces since
the war began;
Hamburg and Bremen radio sta
tions were reported to have gone
off the air abruptly last night, an
indication of the approach of Brit
ish bombers;
One Italian plane was reported
shot down out of a squadron that
raided the Mediterranean base of
Malta, while a single raider was said
to have been driven off at Gibral
tar;
British aerial counterthrusts over
the week end were said to have
struck at Nazi shipyards in Bre
men and Kiel, airdromes in France
and Belgium, an armament depot
in Germany and to have mined
Baltic and Norwegian waters;
The British submarine Snapper,
according to the Admiralty, tor
pedoed five supply ships in two
separate convoys near Norway and
broke up one of the convoys.
Aircraft Production Up.
Encouragement for Britain came

On the political front, the ques
tion of a united Ireland defense
against possible Nazi invasion was
said by Lord Craigavon, Prime Min
ister of Northern Ireland, to de
pend upon a pledge by Prime Min
ister Eamon de Valera of Eire (Ire
land) that his nation “will come into
the war with the rest of the British
Empire and clear out German and
Italian representatives.”
“Eire’s neutrality,” he said, “con
stitutes a source of great danger
not only to Eire herself, but to the
United Kingdom.”
