The need to record with complete fidelity sounds nev- er before heard on a disc has so broadened the spectrum of sound that tones are now being -recorded three or four octaves above ,the highest note on at piano to a full octave below the lowest. Rec- orded sound has, in Short, been pushed to the limit of the range of audibility, which will mean a more perfect recording of music when peace returns.

Reserve Army wants the banker; the broker, the ,clerkIn .unit orm as well , as the butcher, er the baker, the; candlestick maker, w. .Browne: Director _ General of the Reserve Army, made .. clear' not long ago. The general said, every :eligible - citizen should be in either the Active or the Reserve forces. That means, he said, that men of the so-called "White •collar ,Class°' who, are moderately or well educated are needed as buck privates as well as men who work with their • hands The 'reason is that the Reserve Army must do its training in 'the spare tinie enjoyed by its members from their civilian occupations. The more education a man has the quicker he Can absorb, instruction. Thus it is possible to make a rea- sonably efficient soldier out of a man who has a fair education . and' New and comprehensive gov ernment , instructions' for . civilian action in case of invasion of Eng- land were published' recently. ac- cording to the BIC. Independent action bycivilians not acting under official orders will not be tolerated, but every stout-hearted citizen is called upon to do his ° utmost to 'overcome stray foals='der;, I3BC said. Secret plans for a scorched earth policy are • being given to those concerned, regardless of pri- vate :nterests and with .regard tri our own needs. Regional• commissioners are to take over the functions of the 'central government, and civilians can be eompelled to °help with such emergency duties as baking, cooking and first aid. Ali civilians who can join the Home Guard were asked to do- so, and it was; anitoulleed in the House of Lords that the maxinium limit for the intake of recruits is to be raised, • est - a: • Advised To Sleep With, Window Shut A heating engineer„ 'from the University of Minnesota is the authority for this:- - Sleep nine months out of the year with your bedroom windows closed. , You;ll not only reduce your+ fuel costs, but you'll cut down+ the •possibil- ities of colds, sinus infections and. other disorders. And here's, why —one window in your bedroom, - 'weatherstripped and with a storm window on and closed, will infil- trate enough fresh air into your bedroom (provided your door is left ajar) to make sleeping health- ful and comfortable for four ad- ults in - that room. ' He says 'a house "breathes" just as a person, does and without the doors and windows being open.

"After . ,all, the Reserve Army - may have • to do some fighting with very littletraining," said General Browne. "The greater results w& can show for the least training, the better." In some. • Reserve Army units men are being divided into classes for training so that the slower members of the unit,will not hold the others back. Thus the man. who responds quickly to training will .not become bored by having to repeat the same processes over .and over again until the slowest men in the unit learn their lessons. The :Reserve Army recruiting program is rolling along well. Its object is to -bring all Reserve Army units; up to full strength, a total of more than 150,000 men. • 11 Britain Builds' Up Food "Laundries" If gas should, be used against` �Biitam; arrangeneait leave- been made to safeguard the nation's. food supplies against • contamina- tion.
