My advice, for what it le worth, is to start your chlidren drinking the French fashion: It I never too early to learn.
I love my wife. Marclage? We have been married for. 10 years. By our own behaviour I hope my daughter will learn to respect the marriage vows.
She must ohcore her own hus- band. I will try to create an atmosphere In which she may find her true love. But it it happens to be the grocer's boy she falls in love with, well-1 shall not intervene.
She must live her own life... not the life I would like her to Ilve. Parents who îx the

Morals? Well, if you believe in the sanctity of the marriage vows there is no more to be said on this matter. Your child will follow her parents' example.
So we come to money. I have always been mean with my daughter. I cane the hard way, with money in ny family very tight.

was designed specially for S. A. S. pilots. Its construction is the result
of technical study based on scientific facts. Its structure allows it to withstand any climate in all latitudes, from the pale to the equator. Its water-resistance is assured by three basic elements : a rigid-crystal, a tension ring,
a curved dial. The combination of these three features assures an absolute tightness. The "POLAROUTER” is fitted with the UNIVERSAL-GENÈVE automatic movement, *17-jeweled, shock-absorbing, anti-magnetic, high-precision. This is a Universal-Genève exclusive, and has been patented.

The whole situation alema from the fact that almost every country in the world is intensi- fying its study of the weather and that one factor influencing the weather more than most is the upper winds-streams of air which travel at up to 100 miles an hour at very great heights,
The only way to study these air streams at least until
We have perfected the sending up of af rockets and the launching earth satellites-is by releasing
balloons, tracking them by radar, and attaching to them equipment to meqsure tempera- ture and pressure.
The more advanced types of balloon carry two cameras, one of which photographs the read- the ings of instruments while other takes occasional pictures of the cloud formation below the balloon. *THIS BOX

TF the United States Intelligence Division wanted pictures of Russian territory they could employ much more satisfactory ways of obtaining them.
The balloons are easy to de- tect by radar, bre simple to intercept unless at extremo alti- tude and can give so little in- formation from the Intelligence point of view that they could be easily ignored. ·
