Twenty-five per cent, ot all sales, they used to find, were blue, btit now lhat the white weddings get fewer, 80 per cent, of brides ask for a pretty bride's blue in which to be married.

They want a soft silk frock and an elegant coat, and the 'heads of the dress departments. are in despair, for they say that the wholesale suppliers play for safety: they are only making simple woollen dresses in dark or inconspicuous colours. Then there is the bride's hat silk and velvet flowers are scarcer: velvet'alone glimpse of the enemy. Ploughing along astern of us came tne capital ships, while the destroyers were ahead. Smoke fouling the sun-lit horizon told us we were nearing the Italian ships, who had apparently turned on their original course, and were steaming back towards Cagliari, Sardinia.

We pushed forward at high speed in an endeavour to cut them off. I could feel the tremendous wave of excitement thousands of people get an extra satisfaction out of Vita-Weat, for the wheat that goes into it spring! from British soil, and British machines and British workmen turn it into the delicious crispbread that you know.

Dull booms penetrated through the cot Son wool stutlcd in my ears two minutes later, and I saw clouds of orangy smoke billowing from the turrets of two of our cruisers. Suddenly the iron deck beneath my feet seemed to jump, and the whole ship shuddered as the guns of the fore turrets, with a deafening colossal roar, sent shells screeching over the 20,000 yards of water separating us from our foes. The whole cruiser squadron was now in action, and writhing coils of smoke, which almost hid the ships, were diamonded eerily with red flame as their guns sent salvoes roaring over towards the enemy. Gun flashes stabbed out from the Italian squadrons, which were now steaming on the port side on a parallel course to us. Shells plunged into the sea around the cruisers, kicking up vicious columns of water.

Barely 30 ft. away below the after-bridge the muzzles of six guns were elevated to their extreme range to pound the Italians. ITALIAN SHIP ABLAZE We were concentrating our fire on an enemy cruiser. are a misery and a menace, he declared. The Anderson shelter, although amazingly effective before rain came, was soon waterlogged.

Brick surface shelters, though blast and splinter proof, would crumble under a direct hit, and loss of life might be great. Asking why steel and concrete Haldane shelters were not being built, qe said, The monopolists, whose companies are now disquietingly prosperous, naturally desire to take no action which would injuriously affect their post-war profits." The position with regard to steel was less difficult. Firm Government action could lead to increased supply. When it was reported that the cruiser was on fire we concentrated our salvoes on another cruiser for the remainder of the action. They were obviously drawing away behind the smoke screen.

When for blessed seconds the inferno of our fire ceased, heard the dull boom or the battle-cruiser's guns, and could see the OXFORD WAR WEAPONS WEEK Within an hour of the opening of War Weapons Week at Oxford yesterday, the Mayor (Councillor C.
