But even that did not satisfy the clothing industry, It next set up a sales test of 8,000 4-D suits in a restricted number of shops all over the country, but without any form of publicity or advertising. This showed that 56 per cent of the suits were sold without any alterations at all, and the remainder needed only minor changes, at small cost. Backed by, these results, the whole Dutch ready-made cloth- ing industry has started the changeover to the 4-D system, beginning this spring and sum- mer with suits, sports jackets and pants, and following in the fall with topcoats. Interest outside Holland has also been fostered because the system is truly international. The new tape measures use neither centimeters nor inches; or are any words required. The entire system is operated in letters and numbers, with basic sizes read- ing like 22-4,V0 or 22-8-00. Tailors in other European countries have already started their own private measuring polls among their customers, and preliminary figures show that men in other countries are little different, on the average, from those in Holland, So before long this new deal introduced, by the Dutch to en- sure that men are dressed bet- ter at less cost, with a minimum of trouble and a complete ab- sence of that sloppiness which so often goes with ready-mades, is almost certain to be offered to the men of other countries. Yet another example, perhaps, of European integration and unifi- cation! Bird Smuggling Thrives Down Under Australian Customs chiefs fear they. are "getting the bird" in a big way today. Seamen, mainly of European nationalities, have built up a prosperous traffic in smuggled birds, Their returns are more lucrative since last year Australia banned exports of all her home-bred birds. Now species like laughing jackasses, lyre birds and gala parrots fetch from sixty to 180 times their proper value when sold outside Australia. During a recent drive in Syd- ney docks Customs men discov- ered dozens of large, empty bird cages hidden in the crews' quar- ters of ocean-going vessels. They also found samples of dope and alcohol which seamen use to quieten the birds. When drunk, the birds are car- , ried ashore, concealed in a man's clothing or luggage. This traffic is dangerous because parasitic diseases can be introduced in this way. So far, large-scale 'internation- al smuggling rings are not sus- pected. But small syndicates, operating on individual ships, are, the Customs believe, getting a good rake-off as bird smug- glers. Q. How can I clean a zinc sur- face? A. Regular washing with hot soapsuds will keep a zinc surface clean. If required, a mild scour- ing powder can be used. Tar- nished zinc can be brightened by rubbing with vinegar or lemon juice, diluted with a little water. Let the acid remain on the sur- face for several minutes, then rinse with clear water, and polish, CHANGE YOUR LUCK COME TO TORONTO SELL REAL ESTATE Age-Education No Barrier Many real estate men earn $8,5 0 0 a year and more selling houses, apart- ment buildings, land and businesses.

If you want to know tee world's next trouble spot in ad- vance, just ask master tailor Leonard Barratt at his basement office hi London's sedate Pall Mall. Not that Mr, Barratt is a secret agent, an agitator or a statesman —although his business, too, can be a matter of life or death . He makes bullet-proof waist- coats and sporrans for frightened Men and women! His orders' list is an astonish- ingly accurate guide to revolu- tions and political upheavals. For instance, weeks before the Bra- zilian political upheaval, an im- portant resident in that country made a special journey to the London showroom to get himself measured for a bullet-proof out- fit. "I can tell you he was- rich," said Mr. Barratt, "but he must remain nameless. People who wear protective armour do not like the fact to be known. "Perhaps they fear their would- be murderer will decide to shoot at the head instead! "My Brazilian customer told me that several people were gun- ning for him. He wanted to be snugly fitted, without spoiling the look of his clothes. In his case, I shortened the waistcoat and lengthened the sporran — which ties round the waist and protects the lower abdomen--so that there was less weight on the shoulders. "As they were to be worn un- der a shirt in a hot climate, I insulated both garments for cool- ness. We are always experiment- ing to give comfort with maxi- mum safety," Berlin, Algiers, Beirut, Angola, the Congo—they all mean work for Mr. Barratt, who has been employed . for nearly forty-five years by Wilkinson Sword Limit- ed, manufacturers of steel goods. Sometimes, as during the fight- ing in Korea, he will get as many as 10,000 rush orders—a lot of them from parents whose sons are going. overseas. And during the 1939-45 war the heavily- armoured flak suits, used by British and American airmen, saved very many lives. Usual yearly output of bullet- proof vests is about 250, but this figure soars when big trouble Is in the offing, Quite a while before the march on the Egyptian royal palace and the deposing of King Farouk, frantic orders fox protective ar- mour poured in. The same thing happened in Iraq just before the assassination of, King Feisal, Then, there were urgent calls from Cuba two months before Fidel Castro overthrew the Batt- sta dictatorship. During the trou- bles in Cyprus, the firm was also kept .very busy. The Mau Mau outbreak brought rush orders by post from white settlers threatened by ter- rorists. Indeed, Africa as a whole provides many customers these clays , Soon after the, murder of Pa- trice tumumba last 'February, Mr. Barratt received a shoal of letters tram white men in the Congo and other African states who realized the crime would add new fuel to the flames of revolt being fanned by the "wind of change." buring the Spanish Civil War, the firm actually had a London representative collecting orders on the spot, It is hot known whether he was suspected of be- ing a s spyy or said something in- discreet . , but one night his body Was found iri a Madrid side street, Ironically„ he had elseti shot in the back of the. neck!'

We need not follow him on his dreary course, which, however', was brightened by books that had nothing whatever to do with the tedious themes of his profes- sional study, for the medical tomes on his shelves were not nearly so well thumbed as Thackeray's Bernoncl, Meredith's Richard Feverel, and Washington Irving's Conquest of Granada. He gradually collected a small librery of his own, each volume of which stood for a sacrificed lunch, Every day on the way to his classes, he gazed into one of those fascinating second - hand bookshops which no one with literary leanings can pass with- out a pause or a pang. Outside the door was a large tub cram- med with tattered volumes at threpence apiece. Now three- pence was the precise sum that Doyle was able to spend on his midday sandwich , . . so he had to choose between literature and lunch. Whenever he approached that tub a combat raged between the appetite of a youthful body and the hunger of a busy mind. The body won five times out of six, but when the mind was in the ascendant he spent a delightful five minutes choosing his volume from amongst a littre of alman- acs, textbooks, and works of Scottish theology. In this way he picked up Gordon's translation of Tacitus, Pope's translation of Homer, Addison's works, Claren- don's History, Swift's Tale of a Tub, Gil Blas, Temple's essays, the poems of Churchill and Buck- ingham, and other stores for mental dissipation, —From "Con- an Doyle," by Hesketh Pearson.

A New -Peal in Men's .Clothing After measuring 4,000 Dutch-. Melt from head to toe in all the 11 provinces of the Netherlands, and then trying out an experi- ment with 2,000 more by .offer- ing them free suits, the Dutch men's clothing industry has evolved a Dew clothing measure- ment system that is being rapid- ly taken up by other European countries. It is called 4-D, the P standing for "'dimensions," and it works entirely on letters and figures, so thate it is universal in chart- ing and naming, The sole idea of the eight-year research has been to devise a system which will reduce to the minimum the amount of ahem- tion necessary when buying clothes, for men and. boys "off the peg," Moreover, it seems to have succeeded, as preliminary results show that it has more than halved the normal shorten- ings and lettings-out when coats, pants, or overcoats are bought ready-made, It does not, however, imply standardization of style or fash- ion, but only of sizes and meae- urements.. It is baeed on four basic 'di- mensions: waist girth and height, broadness of hips, and slope of shoulder, The waist. measure- ments have led to 18 basic sizes' and the other two dimensions to 16, giving a total of, 34 different sizes covering all except really outsized individuals. The 18 waist standards provide for four different lengths for each of four of the girths and two lengths for the largest one. Although the number of men in- cluded in each of these basic sizes is widely varied, the eight .most important basics cover -about four-fifths of the male pop- ulation, compared with the small number of sizes included in the traditional system which en- compassed less then one-half of the male customers. • -.. Carefully tested and checked investigation has shown that this system will provide well-fitting ready-mades for practically all the men in Holland with almost no alterations. It has also shown that until this plan was started there was no statistical data available about -the measure- ments of the Dutch male—or even of men and boys in other European countries, Well over 500,000 measure- ments were then made and as- sembled; and later analyzed by punched cards in an electronic computer. From there the 34 basic sizes were produced. To design the suits for these 34 types of men another scienti- fic investigation was made to translate the size chart of body measurements into a size chart that could be used by the tailors, N e x t, extensive verification tests were carried out with a full series of trial suits given to men selected at random, And because the average man is "easy to please" in off-the-peg buying, 2,000 were arbitrarily chosen each to wear the suit that best fitted him and then to appear before a jury composed of tail- ors, salesmen, and housewives for an opinion on the fit. These men, incidentally, also wore suits bought in the traditional style, without the jury being given any indication as to which were 4-D suits. The verdict was unanimously in favor of the "new deal" for men. For suits "saleable without alterations" the verdict was 65 per cent greater for the 4-D types, while for "unsalable even oav early egg production with 540 Week old Ames pullets pray has other varieties also available.

Mind you, there is no favouri- tism in 'the steel vest business. Both sides of the law can benefit, Customers need not ,givee their names or say why they expect to be shot at—or stabbed, But, for obvious reasons, it is usual -to ask for payment on delivery! Not long ago an Italian-look- ing gentleman visited the show- room and demanded a bullet- proof waistcoat "off the peg," He said he was catching a 'plane in an hour, paid cash and walked out duly protected, writes Basil. Bailey in. "Tit-Bits". Was he a sort of James Bond off on a new perilous assign- ment? Or the leader of a' gang whose henchmen were contem- plating a take-over bid? Although the f!-'m's name is carried inside each waistcoat, it cannot, naturally, offer purchas- ers a guarantee. So far there have been no complaints, but, as. Mr. Barratt points out: "It is -frustrating never to know for certain whether you still have a satisfied customer—or not!" Depending on their weight — between twelve to twenty-two —pounds the waistcoats will keep out revolver shots and knife thrusts, and even a rifle or ma- chine-gun bullet is quite likely to be deflected. They are inconspicuous. In fact, worn under a shirt, the vests can be satorily effective ... they give a man added width and depth of chest. This may explain the girth of the lafe Aga Khan, who was a Wilkinson client, and why power politics and portliness often seem to go together. Two other famous figures who bought their armour in London were Hermann Goering and Ben- ito Mussolini. Guns had brought them to power, but assassination was an ever-present dread! Other customers include men with reason to fear jealous hue, bands, big game hunters and ex- plorers. Two, who ventured into the reaches of the upper Amazon, had armoured skirts made for them as well as waistcoats. The bullet-proof business was started by Mr. Barratt's father in 1915, Officers buying swords and dress uniforms from Wilkin- son's also wanted. armoured jack- ets, weighing forty pounds or more- After the war, the present Mr. Barratt produced the new light- weight, unobtrusive, flexible pro- tectors consisting of hundreds of two-inch square plates of tem- pered steel. Rarely has Mr. Barrett been asked to bullet, or knife-proof, a woman, One was Madam Chiang Kai-shek, wife of the Chinese Nationalist leader. Another was a pretty blonde who was afraid of a jealous boy friend, Fitting the blonde, who did not wish to spoil her excellent lines, presented Mr. Barratt with a problem, However, she left the showroom bulging to perfection , . as hard-hearted a wench as you could Meet.
