The brown-tail moth is a pest which
frequently completely defoliates ne
glected trees. The moth is pure white
with, at th,e tip of the abdomen, a
bunch of brown hairs, hence its name.
When trees are banded with a sticky
■preparation, many of the moths are
caught. Late in July the moth lays its
eggs on the undersides of leaves in
masses. Each egg cluster contains 200
to 400 eggs. Two weeks later the eggs

THEY SAVE A LIFE
EVERY FOUR HOURS
Lifeboat Heroes of Britain’s
Salt Water Girdle.
by NOEL BARBER ’
Editor of the Overseas Daily Mail
Every four hours in Britain, all
through the day and night, a life is
saved by men with rough faces, old
blue jerseys and a lot of guts. They
are the men of the Lifeboat Service.
Round the salt water girdle of Bri
tain they wait, ready to recue the mer
chant seamen of this country or her
Allies when danger strikes from the
grey hull of a U-boat or the black
shadow of a Nazi warplane. On the
average, they are now saving six lives
a day.
In the first eighteen months of the
war the men of the Lifeboat Service
—the volunteers of he Lifeboat Service
— saved 3,500 lives; more in that vital
vivid year and a half than in the last
ten years of peace. / •'; '
On one single, black, storm-tossed
day, just before last Christmas, they
saved 71 lives in 24 hours. From the
beaches of, the grey East Coast, from
the sheltered coves that face the At
lantic breakers on the west, the life
boats of Britain slid down the run
ways. On that day alone they made
19 launches.
What did that cost the Service? It
is hard to say. Britain has 157 life
boats, of which 146 are motor boats,
dotted around her coasts. Each one is
manned by volunteers — 2,00 of them

in all — for the only members of the
Service who get a fixed wage are the
motor mechanics who are always on
duty at the station. They are paid £3
to £4 a week. Such full time men are
necessary to keep the engines in order.
Coxswain^, of each boat, .ballant,
grizzled men whose faces are wrinkled
like parchment, get an honorarium of
about £15 a year. This is because
they have a good many odd jobs to
do, even when there are no services.
Every lifeboatman gets compensation
if he is injured. But though the men
are volunteers — and remember, no
body can order them to go to the res
cue of broken, battered ships — they
get paid after each service they make.
■The scale of payments .is an elastic

EYES AND VITAMINS
nearly always increased,
The men of the Lifeboat Service
have not gone unscathed, Lives have
been lost, for the Nazis make no dis
tinction between any of the men who
servothe sea. They, top, face constant
dangers of attack by mine, by orpedo,
by machine gun,.
At night the Jifeboatmen must leave
their shores without a light to guide
them past their coasts. They must
launch the boat in the dark. There
are no floodlights to help them, and
once at sea, they are almost always
under fire, as circling warplanes or
U-boats try to finish off their work.
If your eyes tire easily, are watery
and uncomfortable and you suffer
from headaches, the trouble may be
that you are not eating enough ribo
flavin, or vitamin B2, suggests Doc
tor E. Chant-Robcrtson in the current
issue of "Health”, official organ of the
Health League of Canada.
Recent investigations show that per
sons receiving an insufficient supply
of this vitamin show changes in the
small bloodvessels at the surface of
the eyes, declares the writer, and the
remedy is to eat more of such meats
as liver and kidney, as well as of
cheese, eggs, wheat germ, beans and
peas. Milk also is rich in vitamin B2,
she states.
Pointing out that sickness cost the
Board of Education of one Canadian
city alone $100,000 a year, while it cost
the teachers affected another $50,000
Doctor Chant-Robertson asserts that
most of the sickness could have been
prevented by a more efficient diet. She
quotes figures obtained from the Bur
eau of Statistics at Ottawa to show
that from 44% to 53% of the average
Canadian’s diet is made up of such
foods as white flour, sugar, molasses
and honey, all of which are practically,
devoid of minerals and vitamins.
