Orange Market Above Average Price and Volume Both High For Present Time of Season Last week's navel orange market was considerably above the average for this time of year, both in price and volume. "Prices on our California and Arizona navels remained steady with a 20 per cent increase in volume of sales as compared with the previous week," the California Fruit Growers Exchange reports. "Total sales were greater and average prices higher than in any comparable week of the past four years." California-Arizona navels continue to outsell Florida oranges. A tabulation of last week's auction sales indicates that Exchange navels maintained a margin of one dollar per box over the Florida offerings. The lemon market remained steady last week according to the Sunkist report. Although the number of influenza cases throughout the nation was large, they were generally of a mild form and did not cause an appreciable increase in the demand for lemons. Increased consumption in districts reporting serious epidemics was offset by lighter sales in areas where health conditions have improved. Mrs. Ottilie Heft Answers Last Call Ottilie E.

Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton DUSK OF EMPIRE—Much has been written and spoken of the shades of dusk which supposedly were deepening around one of the oldest empires in the world, that of Britain. But today, although unquestionably an empire is fading, that empire is the recently created Italian empire which obviously stands upon the uttermost brink of complete collapse. The military speech-up which the Italian people were promised as a result of the changes in the high command has not come. On the contrary, it is the tempo of Italy's calamities which is increasing. The British offensive against Graziani in Egypt, has been launched although its final scope is still unknown. Far from any reconquest of Albania, high Roman sources are now admitting that the complete evacuation of this foothold of Mussolini in the Balkans may now be inevitable. And the vitally important Italian Dodecanese island bases are rumored to be already nearing the stage of surrender. As though the calamities which have befallen the Fascists in Greece and Albania were not enough, these seem about to be duplicated in Africa. The surrender or capture of the Dodecanese bases would render three-fold the disasters which Il Duce must attempt to explain away to an in- The locomotive one of the first to reach Santa end of the historic trial, in Errol Flynn and Olivia de Land, who head the cast, attended the premiere, arriving in ancient flesta city on a special Fe train, the morning of number 13.

He was halted West Center street. New Fords now be inevitable. And the vitally important Italian Dodecanese island bases are rumored to be already nearing the stage of surrender. As though the calamities which have befallen the Fascists in Greece and Albania were not enough, these seem about to be duplicated in Africa. The surrender or capture of the Dodecanese bases would render three-fold the disasters which Il Duce must attempt to explain away to an increasingly restive Italian people. That the Dodecanese islands can long hold out unless they can be supplied and heavily reinforced from Italy is highly unlikely, and the passage of Italian ships into the Eastern portion of the Mediterranean is, since the British occupation of the Greek island of Crete, almost entirely out of the question. Once Rome might have hoped to achieve this, while Greece was still neutral, but only at great risk of being forced to engage the main body of the British Mediterranean fleet in a major naval action. A desperate gamble would that have been. But today Mussolini no longer has the naval units with which so much as to make a gesture of relieving the plight of these distant bases. All indications suggest that it is on ya matter of time, and no great period at that, before the Dodecanese falls into the hands of Britain or of Greece. And a royal price would these islands make as an inducement to Turkey to enter the war, if London considers this advisable, or at least to play an increasingly active and aggressive part in Balkan affairs. How long Mussolini can survive the rain of blows under which he is already visibly staggering, is problematic. OUTLINE OF THE FUTURE— The British government, it is said is to make some sort of a formal statement within a few days concerning the kind of a final peace which it hopes to establish. Almost certainly Winston Churchill will be Britain's spokesman. Long has London resisted persist urging to define clearly its aims, since the time has no seemed ripe for such a declaration. But now it appears that a tentative outline of the structure of the new civilization which Britain proposes one day to erect upon the chaotic ruins of the old Europe is to be revealed. Beyond question, any declaration made now must be considered as incomplete and Long has London resisted persist urging to define clearly its aims, since the time has no seemed ripe for such a declaration. But now it appears that a tentative outline of the structure of the new civilization which Britain proposes one day to erect upon the chaotic ruins of the old Europe is to be revealed. Beyond question, any declaration made now must be considered as incomplete and speculative for to a great extent the shape of things to come will be moulded in the hands of the future. Not without important effect, however, is the British declaration likely to be. The oppressed nations will hear of it, and their hopes will be spurred and given definite direction. A tremendous incentive to the resurgent determination of these nations should result. Today the final goal of Britain, apart from mere survival, is still nebulous and unreal to many even in England. The advancing of more or less detailed suggestions, for of course the British statement if it is issued cannot now be regarded as anything more than that, will assuredly provide a real point of departure for the thoughts of those who everywhere are dreaming of a better world to come. Marshal Weygand, almost isolated from the world in his African domain will be able more clearly to weigh the issues at stake, to decide at last whether the final interests of France will be more greatly benefited by the continuation of his present inaction, or whether it is his duty to resume once more the role of a soldier and fight for the thwarting of Hitler's designs and for the realization of the British plan. Weygand today appears to be a man in the grip of bitter indecli- McCoy 320 North Los Angeles Street Check the savings in gift suggestions offered by A Furn.
