Amp utees Entitled
To Spare Limbs
Amputee veterans who are eligi-
ble for artificial limbs at govern-
ment expense are entitled to a
spare limb for each 'amputation,
the Veterans Administration an-
nounced yesterday.
Ve terans Administration
Branch Office officials in Colum-
bus, Ohio, pointed out that veter-
ahs may obtain appliances of their
choice from any approved manu-
facturer under contract with the
VA in any one of three cities near-
est their residence.

veteran has a two-week trial pe-
riod-in which to determine wheth-
er it fits and functions properly,
VA officals explained.
lont to the Library for the ex-
hibit by Prof. Wagner.
English Translation
One of the most important
books in the display is the first
translation into English by Thom-
as Shelton which was made in
1620 of Volume 2. The most re-
cent edition translated into Eng-
lish was made in 1932 by Robinson
Smith, Corresponding Member of
the Hispanic Society of America.
Proof of the immediate popu-
larity of Cervantes' "crazy knight
on horseback" is shown by the
number of persons who tried to
imitate the author's hero. One of
these, in the exhibit, a continua-
tion of the Don Quixote by Fer-
nandez de Avellaneda, printed in
1614, appeared before Cervantes
Second Part was published.
Many Translations
Translations into 49 different
languages including Russian, Ger-
man, Italian, French, and Portu-
guese reveal the extent to which
the Don Quixote has influenced
and enriched not only the Span-
ish literature but that of the
world.
A satire on the chivalry and
knighthood of the middle ages, the
Don Quixote is said to be the
most popular book in the world
after the Bible. The Sune -Ford
Bibliography published in 1939
counts 1369 editions.
On display are several source
books which Cervantes used in the
writing of Don Quixote. Among
them Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso,"
lent by Professor Wagner, was
bought in Spain, and bears in-
scriptions by the censors of the
Inquisition dated 1614, 1632, 1640,
and 1707.

Vets Warned
On Overpay
Student veterans were warned
by the Veterans Administration
yesterday that if they fail to repay
the Government for overpayments
of educational subsistence allow-
ances, the money will be deducted
from any future benefits.
The VA declared that veterans
owing the Government for sub-
sistence overpayments, who later
apply for unemployment or self-
employment allowances, will have
these debts deducted from their
checks.
Federal statutes prohibit pay-
ment of Government funds to per-
sons indebted to the Government,
the VA pointed out. Instructions
have been sent to state unemploy-
ment compensation agencies call-
ing for the recovery of such over-
payments from readjustment al-
lowance claimants, the VA said.
arms into an attack, Henry's small
army of 8,000 defeats the full
might of King Charles' 30,0000
men.
One of the main tasks which
confronted King Henry's army was
to storm and capture the French
beach-head, much the same as the
Allied forces had to crack the
Nazis' west wall in the Nor-
mandy invasion of 1944. Coinci-
dentally, the picture was made
at the time of the invasion, and
the battle scenes had to be shot in
Ireland.
Tickets for "Henry V" are now
on sale from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
and from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Hill
Auditorium Box Office. Prices for
the performances range between
$.90 and $1.20 for the matinee, and
from $1.20 to $1.80 for the eve-
ning show. All seats are reserved.

lclohes are a means of personal expression. In this
country, the standards of style as well as utility are set
by the needs and preferences of the public.-
WOMEN'S CLOTHES IN AMERICA are an
elo vent expression of true democracy; grace and
beauty of apparel are accorded a circulation. as broad as
the nation, reaching into every community every-.
where and available, not merely to the hundreds or the
thousands, but to the millions.
THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT to the
nation's morale, because clothes are =one of the few
mediums for relaxed self-fulfillment in a nation of
rapidlymoving commercial competition.
