WHOOPEE IN BRITISH WARSHIP
TEA PARTY AND DRINKS
Two Women All Night In Cabin
"Whoopee" in a warship caused a naval officer, who rose from the lower-deck, to be dismissed his ship and severely reprimanded recently,
A naval court-martial at Devon- port heard the story of how two women spent the night in a spare cabin in H.M.S. Wolverine, a de- .stroyer.
Commissioned Gunner Harry Greenalade of HMS. Wolverine, formerly a Greenwich boy, ans- wered five charges of neglect of duty and acts prejudicial to naval discipline.
i
He pleaded guilty to all charges. BAW WOMEN ABROAD According to the circumstantial letter, Greenslade, when officer of the day of HMS. Wolverine, did not inform the officer of the day of H.M.S. Broke that he was going ashore as required by emergency destroyer order No. 5.
About 10 pm on April 29, the circumstantial letter stated, Green- slade brought two women on board
!
Another paragraph in the cự cumstantial letter indicated that Greenslade slept shore contrary to regulations, returning in plain clothes about 10.30 a.m. the follow- Ing day.
Mr. W. E. J. Major, a suliekkor for Greensalde. said that, on one of the evenings when he went ashore, ne visited his mother. He stayed the night at her house.
This is not a court to which sentiment should appeal but it is tronical that this particular court-
martial should be held on the very day that his mother celebrates ber 80th birthday," said Mr. Major.
UNWRITTEN RULE
"His mother is the widow of a man who had a Bervice career, and retired on pension after an hon ourable service record."
Mr. Major said that the rule that people who were taken on board should leave at midnight was an unwritten one.

FRUITS AND
THEIR JUICES
It is well to remember that fruits of the juley variety are usually picked when unripe or barely ripe. One result of this is that we tre quently, waste much of the juice in consumption ir certain precau- tions are not taken beforehand. Where patent squeezers are not part of the household equipment à considerable amount of juice, is often left inside both oranges and lemons, especially if these were somewhat hard when bought. The same is true of grapefruits, and pineapples.
Small pineapples are to be had
these are plunged into bolling water for three minutes or so and then allowed to cool before use' their content of fulce wit be al- most doubled because it will be so much more easily expelled. Natur- ally the water must not be allowed to go un bolling after the fruit is immersed in it. The same thing is true at oranges, grapefruits, and lemons, especially lemons, which, when hard and thick-skinned, are sometimes obstinate and unecono- mic. Choose thin-skinned, heavy fruit when possible, warm it in the hand, kneading it slightly be- fore squeezing, or put it for a few moments into very hot water.
GRAPEFRUIT
When serving halved grapefruits in their rind for the first course of a meal much extravagance is common. The fulce is spilled, to begin with. in cutting. Then dur- ing the attempt to loosen the pulp with a serrated knife much clings to the inside of the rind when the diners have done their utmost with it. Often, with no more than four guests. I have squeezed as a teacupful of juice from the used half-rinds which would otherwise have been thrown out. A good way to avoid this is to scoop out all the pulp over a soup plate, which catches the extra juice, and to dis- tribute pulp and juice in wine glasses or custard glasses, in which it is cooled and served with sugar added an hour beforehand. By this method one frult will easily serve three people instead of two, giv- ing each, of the three a generous" helping, while it is also much casier to cat without making any mess. No pith is included, and the preparation is easier than when one loosens and leaves the pulp in the skins, besides being far

FINE CAREER
Mr. Major said Greenslade had a remarkable service career. At the age of 11 he joined the Navy as a" Greenwich boy, and had served for 36 years...
"In the whole of that time there has not been a single offence," complaint, warping, admonition or reprimand."
His family tradition were bound up with the Royal Navy, he was the only single man in his family and was the sole support of his mother. He had only two years to go for pension and had been given to understand that very shortly he was likely to be promoted,eleg.

By completing what is probably the most accurate experiment ever carried out. British scientists have confirmed the general theory of relativity
Attaining an accuracy within a few parts of a hundred thousand millions, they proved that it is not possible by physical measurement to detect the motion of the earth through the ether of space.
The test, which is described in the 1930 report of the National Physical Laboratory, consisted of comparing the period of vibration of a quartz rod maintained under constant-conditions with a similar oscillator placed successively in a series of different positions so that its axis was rotated through 360 degrees.
The report also describes how the Laboratory is assisting British industry, and states that a record was set up in the number of ship designs tested.
