On the dullest, coldest day there's sunshine in the room where there's a gas fire. Its healthy, glowing warmth has been acclaimed by the medical profession as artificial "sun-heat." The sun on tap in fact. See the new gas fires at the showrooms to-day.

BRITAIN OBTAINED 970,000 OLD RIFLES FROM U.S.
THE EXTENT of American aid to Great Britain and her Allies in arms and munitions drawn from surplus stocks of Army material, was shown in a re- port to Congress by Secretary Stimson. The Army sold for $22,929,438 guns, tanks, ammunition and other equipment in the year ended Oct. 15. The ori- ginal cost was $58,853,179.
None of it was sold to a belligerent, which would violate the laws. The bulk was sold to the United States Steel Corporation, in deals which ended for the most part in sales by the corporation to Britain or the dominions. Some of the guns had been bought from Britain when this country entered the World War.
Aeroplanes did not figure in the report, since the War Department has not sold any to which it had taken title.

FASCIST FINED FOR LIGHTS
HITLER'S BUMPS OF MURDER
"If Hitler had come un- der my hands years ago, I might have put him on the track of otherwise gratifying his abnormal ambition, and probably prevented this catas- trophe."
This remarkable claim was made by Britain's foremost famous phrenologist, Professor J. Millott Severn, F.B.P.S.
Professor Severn has unbounded faith in phrenology. So much so that he married only after he had studied his prospective bride phenologically.
That was over 50 years ago, and to-day Professor Severn has still no regrets for his scientifically planned marriage.
Head Analysed
He has studied all the available photographs of Hitler's head, and claims by this means to have worked out a complete analysis of the Nazi dictator's inertality.
It is untrue, he said, that Hit- ler has any gre t planning ability. "His head slants in the in upper part of the forehead which the reasoning faculties are located," he pointed out. "His head is fairly large, en- dowing him with a good deal of available mental power, but not in respect to planning and rea- soning. There is much that is ab- norinal in his mën al make-up, so that his abilities have been applied to wholesale murder and. destruction."
Prominent Brows
Hitler's prominent brows, the Professor said, make him exceed- ingly observant. He is eager, alert and practical. He rapidly jumps to conclusions and acts spontaneously.
"His large sublimity and seli- esteem," said Professor Severn, made him desire to be associated with big concerns and be at the head of them. But his dreams of world domination are beyond his capacities to reason.
"The height of the head in 'the regions of Bdlf-Esteem and Firm- ness give him a wilful, dogmatic, dictatorial nature."
The width of head at the base made Hitler a relentless destroy-
er.
Fears Death
He is deficient in sveneration, and has::little domestic and so- olal affection. 'Bluff, <audacity and arrogance are the secrets of hia success, mot military abilitý. Professor Severn believes Hitler, could have been a great orator one of the greatest in history, In- stead, "he will be regarded as the most callous, ignoble, bombastic, unscrupulous and ruthless mur |derer of all time,"
The Professor concluded his analysis with a cheering thought. Hitler has an intense love of life, he said. Death will be hard to him when it comes,
