ROUND ABOUT TOWN How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war Samuel 1-27. A great war leaves the country with three army of cripples, an army of mourners, and nn army of Proverb. The Texas University and' A. M. College, according to many years' eastern, will recognize November 28th as Thanksgiving Day, but most of the State will accept November 21st, this coming Thursday, as the Day to be observed.

Denton's stores and colleges will close this Thursday next. The Record-Chronicle will also observe Thursday and no paper will be issued that day. Marian Martin in Denton Record-Chronicle: We hear lot about spoiled wives but not enough about spoiled 1 rarer but immensely interesting species. A certain woman stopped to chat with another and happened to remark that she had canceled her trip to town because her husband had said he might come home on an earlier train. "So you gave up your trip just on a chance that he might catch an earlier train?" said her friend disapprovingly.

"Why on earth do you spoil him the way you do? "I suppose because I'm so happy to linyo him to spoil," answered my friend, which seems to me a very clear and reasonable slulement of her portion. Anyway, it completely silenced the other woman, whose husband, as it happens, could do with a bit ol spoiling. And Dr. Joe Taylor, state Press, who knows about spoiled husbands, comments: There are more spoiled husbands than spoiled wives. It Is the woman's nature to mother the wi-afr, and husbands are notable for needing help and encouragement in a world of profit and loss.

Every woman enjoya singing to her because she knows the in- fnut loves her voice, she is In doubt whether anybody else does or not. Tiie fact that few women sing to their husbands Is no indication that wives do not spoil their husbands. A spoiled husband is a better husband, especially when she caters to his appetite. He may not like her singing, but he likes the handiwork of her culinary chitterlings in winter and calf's liver In slimmer. A woman who has spoiled her husband will not condemn his boorish appetites, although she may be on a diet and suffer the pangs of hunger while he ingests his crude victuals.

There are a thousand ways to spoil a husband; only a few- days to spoil a wife. The divorce courts, are full of wives, who have never been spoiled' since 'they "married and who are dimly hoping for another chance. Mr. and Mrs. E.

In Speech Points Out Collaboration With Nazis, Japs. (By Associated Press) Premier Mussolini swoi'o today that "whatever happens, will never turn back" in the Greek campaign; and even as he spoke, his Fascist invasion army was reported hack to a new defense line 25 miles inside the Albanian frontier. After three weeks of warfare. It appeared, the Italians are now preparing to resist a Greek counter- invasion. Dispatches from Athens said that Mussolini's legions were retreating Irom the key city of Korltza, miles inside Albania, nnd thai a i motorized column of 130 Italian tanks was cut off on a mountain road.

A Reuters (British new agency) dispatch from Djavdpelija. near the Greek-Yugoslav frontier, later said BOO Dalian troops and 130 tanks crossed the border from Greece and surrendered to Yugoslav authorities last night. Greek troops, had reached the gates of KorltaS. It was said, with the Italians fighting a desperate rear-guard action to cover the withdrawal from the fortified city which was to have been used as a springboard for a drive to the port of Salonika, in Eastern Greece. Other Greek troops reported successes all along the 100-mile front and declared that nearly all the fighting now was on Albanian soil.

Musi Destroy England Premier Mussolini's statement that he would "never turn back" was coupled with an assertion that Hie European war, now could be, concluded only' "with the destruction ol the modern land." II Duce denied British claims that half of Italy's battleships were smashed in a mid on Taranto naval base last, week, asserting only one warship was so badly damaged it could not lie repaired in a short time.

In their counter offensive, the RAF reported a second successive all-night raid on Hamburg Saturday night and Sunday morning left a path of destruction In that great German port. The Germans acknowledged there was some military damage.

German and Hritisb long-range shore guns traded shots across the shannel. Japanese newspapers unanimously printed stories today under Bangkok, Thailand (Slam), datelines alleging that the United States and Britain were putting pressure on that little country to sign a triple defense pact under threat of economic blockade.

iiy's war-vital industries in the rich Ruhr Valley were reported attacked heavily today by the Royal Air Force In a quick follow-up of weekend blows at axis ports from Hamburg, Germany, to Mogadiscio, So- tnaliland. The Air Ministry said the main force of the British offensive last, night was directed at the oil refineries at Gelscnkirchen, near the Dutch border. Other planes bombed the industrial targets in the Ruhr, it said, rail and river communications in the western part of the Reich, Ihe naval base at Loricnt, in Nazi-occupied Brittany, and airdromes in occupied territory. Even as the filers struck, the RAF hish command was shuffled lo give the army nn ntr arm more nearly its own, concentrate the fighter command on solving night raid interception and breaking up Nazi bombing of convoys, and possibly lo coordinate further United States and British plane production. The Air Ministry removed Sir Hugh Downing from RAF fighter commander in chief for special unexplained duty in Ihe United States.

One source close to the ministry indicated his mission might be to advise the United States of RAF experiences with the view of United Slates and British planes, thus facilitating mass production.

A survey of billions being poured out by the world's great powers for military implements indicated today that the United States has barely started making down payments' on its modern mechanized lighting machine. Tlie Ixsl available statistics, by no means complete, place the minimum current arms expenditures of the six major nations at close to $50,000.000.000 annually. The outlays of numerous smaller countries would send the total higher. No one has yet begun to estimate the monetary vahie of the lost lives, destroyed wealth and devastated areas in those nations bearing the brunt of war. Embattled Britain, for example, has recently increased her total spending to a rate of nearly 000,000.000 annually, or about as much, as all of the United Kingdom's 47,000.000 people earned in a pre-war year.

The United States, with a population nearly three limes as large, is spending this year less than a third ns much on her army and navy. Next year the story will be different. By then Uncle Sam will sluicing out more and more of Uie which Congress approved for national defense at Its present of additional billions expected to be voted after Jan. 1.

Estimated national income, $74,000.000,000. budget for 1940, $2,850,000,000, on the basis ol what officials say is the actual purchasing power of the ruble. Using the same basis, the national income is placed at $7,000,000.000, according to the official soviet estimate.

budget for the current Fiscal year, $1,512,770,000. Estimated national income. $5.967,000,000. budget for the present fiscal year, about $2,000,000.000. Government statement on national income, $5,750,000,000.

for current year nbout 3810,000,000. Estimated national income about $4,000,000. a year before the war. German writers estimated informally that the government took 50 per cent of tho national income for armament and other purposes. In the year before the war tlie Oermitn income estimated at 76.000.000,000 marks (nominally $30,000.000,000.)

"Whatever happens, I will never turn back" In Qreec? The logical answer is that Italians have been cupping a defeatist ear to the British radio and then asking each other: "What ara we getting out of this war but trouble? Where nre our victories? Why did we get into it, anyway?" Minimizes Reverses Munssolini, himself, referred to the "English loud speaker" and he took pains to give his people these answers to their unspoken questions: That only a few of their thers, sons and brothers arc dying In the cruel mountain of the Greek.frontier;,that ohly'oiie bat- tleshlp' was' damnt'eS fit Taranto; that no lightning triumph must be expected to rise from the mild and crags of Eplrus nnd the Pindus; that Britain started the whole thing by really "attacking" Itoly five years ago; that the Greeks hated Italy and'conspired with Britain to beat her. What Mussolini did not say was how he and Adolf Hitler proposed to get Italy out of the slump she is In.

It is clear now that a resumption of this offensive depends upon fracture of British sea power in the Mediterranean and easement of the difficult Italian situation on the Greek-Albanian border.
