The King inspected the camp, of the Royal Fusiliers, situated near the Lon don area, recently. The men attached to this division have had only a few weeks training, but are ready for any eventuality„ HEALTH GPM �v�ca r.s-a,•-u-.t-.. .; •a -et -re .•: 'Take It Easy; Save Your Nerves We want to be energetic and peppy all of the time, and never feel lazy or tired. We have a notion that healthy and happy people never become fatigued. The truth is that they do get tir- ed periodically, but know how to rest and recuperate. They exper- ience normal, not chronic fatigue. Normal fatigue is good. It is part of normal, healthful living. It may be recognized by a general tiredness of the body, which is not unpleasant and which may be dispelled by rest and sleep, and by increased nourishment. Every- one who has known the joy of hard work has known the joy of normal fatigue. If men and women would only accept normal fatigue as an ac- eompaniment of work or effort, and would get the necessary re- cuperation through rest, more oterious forms of fatigue would never develop. Life would then be balanced. BREAKS IN ACTIVITY Plan for at least two breaks in activity during the day. Dur- ing each break, just stop doing everything for five minutes. Don't talk. Don't think. Just sit with your head drooping forward toward your knees. Or, better yet, Be on the floor with your feet propped up on a chair. Rodent Etiq ,este BY ROOBERTA LEE 1. Should one make any kind of explanation when refusing a drink? 2. How should one introduce' a girl stenographer, who is a new employee, to an executive of the company? 8. When a man takes a girl to a public dining place, is it all fight for him to suggest some- thing on the menu, that he knows is good? 4. Isn't it poor form for sales- people to address customers as "honey," "dear," "girlie," "doc- tor," "e a p t a i n," "brother," "boss," etc.? 5. When a formal dinner begins at eight, at what time should a guest depart? 6. Should a man comb his hair in public? Answers 1, "No, thank yon" is suffic- ient. It is not at all necessary to explain or apologize. 2, "Miss Moore, this is Mr. Carter, our President." 3. Yes. 4. Yes, and it often means loss of business. A well-bred person resents such familiarity from a stranger. 5. El- even, or a little before, unless 'dancing or some other form of entertainment follows, 6.

I) South Africa's Dog Detectives Thrilling stories of the exploits of police dogs in the detection of crime are given in the annual report of the South African Com- missioner of Police, Colonel I. P. de Villiers, of Cape Town, in his annual report. In one case a dog called "Echo" tracked down a thief who subse- quently admitted that he had wrapped his feet in sacking to es- cape detection. In another in- stance a dog followed a trail one and a half miles to a hut in the middle of a compound of 38 huts with 135 inhabitants and pointed out the native.

There were only three people left in the bus; an old lady and two men. Suddenly one of the men said "25," and the other immediately burst into laughter. When he had ceased chuckling he called out "121," and the other man now roared with laugher. This went on for some time. No sooner would one call a number than the other would laugh. The old lady, doubting the mentality of her two companions, turned to them and said, "Excuse me, but I don't see anything funny in shouting a number." "It's all right, madam," one replied, "we are commercial trav- ellers and we know all our jokes by numbers." —0— • Hotel Guest (phoning down at 2 a.m. for third time): "Say, are you the night clerk?" Clerk: "Yes; what's biting you now?" Guest: "Tha's what I'd like to know." —0— The science -master was dem- onstrating the reaction on lime - water of carbon dioxide. The presence of this gas gives to the clear lime -water a milky appear- ance. Holding a beaker of the liquid in his hand, he breathed into it and held it up to show the change. Up went a hand. "Please, sir," asked one of the class in an awed voice, "will any- body's breath do that?" —0— "Why are you suddenly laking French .lessons?" "Well, we've adopted a French baby and we're eag- er to know what he says when he begins to talk." —0— Little Renfrew was generally in trouble. Finding that words had but little effect upon his child, his father resorted to stern- er measures. A neighbor, watching hint ehas- ise the boy, noticed with admira- tion that Renfrew gave no out- ward indication of pain. "Don't you ever cry when you're beaten, Renfrew?" he ask- ed. "What's the use?" retorted the small boy. "The old man's deaf!" —0— Jones: Very polished wa tan, Mrs. Brown, don't you - think?" Smith: "Yes, very polish ere indeed. Everything she says casts a reflection on someone." —0--- A film producer was going round the studios one day when be saw a face he didn't know. "Are you on our staff?" he asked. "Yes, sir.

It is an antiserum, that is, made like an antitoxin, a substance formed in living tissues which neutralizes the poisonous products of germs. This discovery is a new ap- proach to the mystery of human high blood pressure. The animals were dogs with forms of high pressure closely resembling the widespread and highly fatal hu- man malady. SUNSET ON ON VENUS Four young scientists have re- turned from a mountain -top camp with 1,500 photographs of sun- sets on the planet Venus. They said probably not more than a dozen astronomers had observed the phenomenon during the last 200 years. They describ- ed the photographs as the first successful series of pictures of the sunsets ever made They saw Venus as a thin sil- ver crescent, the horns of which bent toward each other until the planet was visible as a delicate ring of light. Astronomers pic- ture Venus as a gigantic "dust bowl." —0— FINDS SHIP POvif1ONS A combination sound and radio buoy which will enable ships to determine their location accur- ately with respect to the buoy, has been developed by the Un- ited States Coast and Geodetic Survey for use in ocean surveys. In operation, a ship explodes a small TNT bomb. The current that explodes it makes a mark on a rapidly moving tape. The sound of the explosion is picked up by the distant buoy, which immediately sends out a signal. This is received by the ship and causes a second mark to be made on the moving tape. From the distance between the two marks the distance of ship to buoy can be calculated, Identity Game Here is an amusing game. Be- fore the time of playing arrives, make a slip of paper for each guest. Write on each slip the name of a famous person, an his- torical figure, a movie star, or a present-day hero. Without letting the guest see the naive, pin the slip on his back, telling him to discover who he is by asking anyone in the roerti any question he likes which he thinks will help him to identify himself. "Am I alive?" "Ain I a man?" "Ani I a woman?" "Do I live in Europe?" "Am I a singer, actor, politician, soldier?" Polonium, which costs about $2,000,000 an ounce, is mined in Northern Canada, only 1,600 miles from the North Pole. ri C BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I clear u.p water which has a milky appearance? A.
