The screws beat mightily; a heave, a slither—one could plainly feel the force with which the boat pushed off the bottom. The pointer moves -145, 140—now she is flying upwards! "Slow ahead; flood the regulating tank." The boat plunge's somewhat till the division of weight can be evened out, but the hydro- planes lave her ,in their power, and soon she is steering obediently. 'The light in the conning tower is gloemy; the cold is penetrating. All at once a gentle singing note comes out of the distance. "Propeller -nois- e a' detern!".

Every time we hear the eeies above, we increase speed; when the enemy stops and listens, our propellers stand still too. Gradually the pauses grow longer, the explos- ions fainter, and we slip away. When hours have gone by, we surface and see the cause of this unexpected as- sault: an oily track! One of the fuel tanks has sprung a' leak. Its long shiny trail on the surface betrayed us.

Never .has cunning been applied so systematically, as in the Submarine Decoy Ships (Q -Boats),` which, trick- ed out as harmless merchantmen, sought to entice U -Boats, and destroy them at close range.

At a safe distance we surfaced, and with guns see about sinking the craftf ship. It split amidships and went down hissing, amidst a cloud of smoke and flame. - In a ditty -box floating on the scene of the wreck we found a posteard eaddreseed: "Able Seaman Jackson, H. M.

His -first question to me, "You will kill 'me now, Captain?" was not easy to answer. He was conducted below and introduced to his new role of -prisoner in a German submarine. He soon foupd it, as he said to me, "very comfortable." Our Staff Surgeon gave him his fur coat, and Lieut. DEng a white cap.

We are all gathered in the control room, the chart of the net barrage before us. The boat is humming along close to the 'bottom; every now and then it 'hits with•a jerk that throws us from our feet. The pointer trembles at 90 feet: We steer down again, always with the feeling that we must "duck our heads", as low as possible to 'get under the nets.

FerSilizer Experiments In 1931- under auspices of the Ex- perimental Union, 194 co-operative fertilizer experiments were conducted with farm, crops on 776 plots. Cer- eal grains showed an average increas- ed yield of ten bushels per. ..acre where fertilizers were used; potatoes, 60 bushels per acre; turnips, 3.6 tons per acre; mangels 10.7 tons; silage corn 2,5 per cent., and meadows gave an increase of 4,315 pounds of green. weight materials. Commenting on the work .Dr. Harcourt, Professor of Chemistry at 0. A.•C. emphasizes the necessity of plaeing,Ahesfertilizer within reach of the growing plant and deep enough in the soil to be affected by Moistuee. Surface applications are condemned ccent where land is drilled for roots, in which case the fertilizer is brought into the drill. On meadows and alfalfa the fertilizer must necessarily be spread on the surface, but where possible the ma- terial should be put into the soil and near but not in contact with the seed, he advises. CEREAL REUEVED HIS CONSTIPATION Kellogg's ALL -RAN Brought New Health Every one who has suffered from constipation should read Mr.' P. M. Fisher's letter: "For many years I suffered from constipation and used, fel' relief, all kinds of laxatives. Aftee a 'few days' treatment, I would only find my condition the same as before and at times worse. "Some time ago I started to use Kellogg's ALL -BRAN regularly, ohea, a day as directed. Since doing this, I have found that I do not need any other medicine to procure'the desired result, and it keeps me in a very healthful condition.'-'----Mr.- P. M. Fisher. (Address on request.)

A dapper little man, with derby hat and stiff collar, ar- rives and then after a hundred pag- es of sparkling intuitions, solves the case. Thus Scotland Yard seems to be a depository off superhuman intuition. Actually, it is composed of a group of men.' who work with the most prosaic methods and who have sev- eral -Unique advantages, due to' the geographical position and psychologi- cal makeup of England. Scotland Yard has about 20,000 employees, 19,000 of them, in. uni- forms !working out of district police stations and attending to the routine matters of keeping the peace, direct- ing' traffic and 'patrolling the neigh- borhoodBert "Scotland Yard" has de - other meaning—it has now become a symbol for one part of the Metro- politan Police, the "C. I. D." --Crim- inal Investigation Department—whien, with less than 1,000 employees, con- centrates on the detection of crime. The uniform branch has given Scot- land Yard its reputation for polite- ness and quiet ability; but ..it, is the C; I. D. which has given the Yard its reputation for efficiency. Murder murder --is a crime, rare in London. Between 1926-31 there were 95 murders ,committed, and only eight of them are unsolved at this time. The first essential of- the C. I, D. system is speed. Every man avail- able is detailed on the case when a ,reurcler is discovered, for the Yard has found by experience that as a rule more can be leariied in the first 12 hours than in the next 12) day. A man and -wife were walking down a dark street toward their home late one October night in 1922 when sud- denly, 'at a corner, the husband was attacked from the rear and instant- ly killed. Beginning at that midnight hour, without a clue—the wife had seen no one—Chief Constable Wens- ley, the most famous detective the Yard has produced, had a suspect de- tained by six o'clock the next even- ing and had a confession from him the following morning. Wensley solved the' mesterj by detailing sev- eral scores of men to examine,every friend and relative of the couple; o-ne of the relatives mentioned' the name of a man who he thought had been seeing,the wife without her bus- .k.barid's knot1t1edge; and the wife, ask- ed to name her friends, carefully for- got to list that young man's naine. ei".t.pe Ste:it:Se, •••• • e••Itit, ,• PliitiOnaby Chitels.

The division•oe the "Flying Squad” which tttached to the C. 1. D. helps in the matterof speed. The' squad has its own automobiles, which may or may not be disguised as de- livery wagons and which,' as they cruise the streets of London, are in constant toiich with, the Yard by radio.' The second feature of the system is, the 'tremendous attention which the C. 1. D. gives to detail. Amazing deductions have be.en made through seemingly trifling things. In one case an •old man was found dead. In the shack in Which he had lived there was an oil lantern which the neigh- bersi said had net been there before One inspector examined it and found that it had a home-made wick, taken from a piece of a girl's dress. With this clue he searched through the neighborhood and found a girl who had had such a dress,- and through her he found the murerer. Another feature of the system is the use of records which are fited ac- cording fer the technique used in pre- vious crimes. Especially in cases of larceny and forgery the records kept 'by- the Yard are largely responsible for the impressive figures shown in it e annual report: "Number of sim- ple larceny cases known to the po- lice -25,809; taken into custdd„ y- 5,378!" Then, toe, other factors, conie to the help of ,the Yard. First is the fact that. England is, a- small. Aland with comparatively few exits. At each port there is always a 'Scotland Yard Man, •watiehing incoming and outgoing •';trafflie. Once the alarm is out, it is t•extremely difficult to eseape efrom England. At the same lime Scotland Yard deals with a population that is 51. most entirely native-born. In all Lon- don now, with its 7,000,000 people, there are less than 14040 foregin born, This leads to what is prolbably the biggest factor behind the success of Scotland Yard—the attitude of the average 'Englishman toward law and order. ly.lany an, American, fresh from New York and Memories of, armored express cars, has. been amused in passing the Bank of England, to see a money transfer ,operati,on going on. A rickety truck stands by the curb. Inside it, in plain view and seeming- ly easy to,grab, are small cloth hags of money; their contents clearly marked. The back of the truck is open, and unarmed men carry the bags into lhe bank. A (policeman stands a hundred yards off—at his pest, directing traffic. I asked a man at Scotland Yard what was to prevent oneof the "grab and drive off raids" that had led to the introductiOn of alined -ears in. • America. The idea had never occur- rertO him. But he said, "If any one tried te grab, every man near by would feel personally outraged and give chase. The people are the allies of the police." This same attitude explains the trehtendous response given to any request published' by Scotland Yard in the newspapers. "Stotlend Yard, wants to find . . . any one hese ing information please call . . .,"' and for a week thereafter the Yard. is busy filing the information receive ed. A :very 'mysterious -series of rob- beriee took place -iii London. The. Yard asked for any information that might be of assistance. , One old landlady telephoned, very • much em- barrassed: "I only want- to say," she' explained, "that have a lodger who sleeps most of the afternoon. Per- haps he doe s it so that he can go out robbing ,at night." The Yard, neg- lecting so detail, found thereby the. man who was wanted. This attitude of respect for Scot- land Yard explains the most surpris- ing thing about that organization: No one in it, not even in the C. 1. D., ever 'carries a gun unless ont to search for a man whom they know is armed. There are some superintend- ents at -the Yard, men with more than thirty years' experience, whir have yet to go on a ease armed - "Sure, our men can shoot: an official told me, "they learnt in the war."' Carrying a gun during the commis- sion of a crime automatically adds - from six to ten yeses to one's. sent- ence. A housebreaker knows that if he is caught uparmed, he will receive two years' imprisonmentbut if he carries a gun he Will- gk 12 years; so he goes Unarmed. Also, any one wishing tto purchase either gun or ammunition must apply to5the polies for a permit; There has been some Lootlegging'i in guns, but the Yard knows where most of the guns in England are. The morale in the Yard is enviable and the record of honesty of its men. is almost unsullied. Since 1878, whesr three of the C. I. D. were convicted of reeeiving bribes, the C. I.
