from mineral deficiency, to some extent, during the Fall and Winter'
months.

Burma, rich in most things, lacks
lines of communication. There 4
only one railway to serve the front
line troops, 'between Kama, Imphal
and the coast. Most of the few roads
are rough and little better than farm
tracks, and wind through the jungle
and over mountains in long round
about routes. For four months of the
year they are made impassable by
the monsoon rains. However, troops

one large window of the observation car type
installed in each section to give an unbroken view
of the countryside and replace two Smaller windows
which served before. Bottorn right is the powder
room of this model for modernization where inno-
vations include tubular lighting, which is carried
through the whole car, and a powder table and
handbag shelf in black plastic. Other departures'
in the car include improved ° springs and anti -noise
attachments on the trucks as aids to smoother
ridingand undisturbedslumber, illuminated car
numbers to prevent confusion on dimly lighted
station ;platforms and an interior finish which
employs metal trim and _pastelpaint and uphol-
stery in a pleasing combination. The car, which '
now is in service, also has outlets for electric
razors, two-tone chimes to summon the porter and
high -frequency buzzers for wake-up calls, with
their installation being standard practice on all
cars of this type shopped,
