DISCOVERIES which change the whole conception
of the unknown Antarctic "continent” have been made by the British Grahamiland Expendition, which is being led by Mr. John Rymill.
For ten weeks Rymill and his assistant Bingham toil- ed on a 600 miles sleigh trip through fierce blizzards and have now returned to the expedition headquarters at Marguerite Bay.
They have proved that the theory that Grahamland is a vast island is entirely wrong.
Mountain ranges, rising to 10,000 Teet, cover the whole territory. Be- tween the ranged the valleys, filled with Ice.

JAM TARTS ON WHITE DISHES.
By A Naval Correspondent
The standard of living in the Royal Navy has been raised to dizzy heights since the days of the salt pork barrel, the weevil- filled biscuit, and the "hard tack” from which sailors used to make beautifully polished boxes.
The Manual of Naval Cookery for 1936, issued recently, al- though it carefully avolds any comparisons with the bad old days, is as lyrical as one can reasonably expect a Service handbook.
"Pork-as supplied. is always freshly killed."
"Sheep's Ilver-has two . ទស} lobes and a small thumb plece."
"One granme carbohydrate
yields 4.1 calorica."
These phrases from tho. Manual, together with some of the remarks salts, menus, and about organic cleanliness, would make any oul sall turn in his watery grave.
DAZZLING POTS AND PANS Of course, one cannot expect any Manual emanating from the Royal Navy not to emphasise the virtues of "spit and pollsli." The Manual of Cookery is true to tradition. Its very first paragraph impresses on all con- cerned the necessity for cleanliness, and instructions regarding the scrub- bing of woodwork, and Bie methods

These valleys led Wilkins, who explored, Grahamland by air, to assume that they were channels. He drew his map of Antarctie ne- cordingly.

The object of the club is to safeguard single young against the charms of pretty girls, and one rule is that any member seen talking to one of the opposite sex shall be fined.
If he persists in this offence he will be liable to suspension from the club.
He is not exactly wearing a tail coat and sitting at board meetings. The strict rules of America's Devil's Island do not quite allow that; but he is the The utmost secrecy will be malt- absent president of Capone Inc., tained in the periodical meetings of the club, and the private lives of dealers in stocks and shares.

To dlp further into the Manual of that Naval Cookery is to realise naval cooks of to-day have to be concerned not only with vulgar ap- petites, but with the fastidious tastes of the gourmet,
Having told the would-be cook all about the anatomy of the edible beasts and fishes and instructed him minutely in the art of cooking these and their attendant garnishings 50 as to tickle the palate of the able sep- man, the Manual proceeds to give artistic advice, Thus:
