GREY-HAIRED MOTHER WAS PROUD OF SON
ROUND a table in a house in Ayresome-street, Middlesbrough, a mother-grey-haired Mrs. Isabella Willits--handed bacon and eggs.
She handed a plate to her husband, one to her daugh- ter, and one to her son.
She looked ncross the table at her son. She studied him with- out his knowing it.
Just the same as he was when he was a clerk in a Tees-side insurance office,
And yet what was this she had been told about him? The vicur. the neighbours, the butcher, the baker had been telling her that she should be proud of him.
True it was that this son of hers wore R.A.F. uniform, true that on his left breast was stitched the ribbon of the Distinguished Flying Medal.

HOW Britain has mobi- lised her scientists was des- cribed recently by the Direc- tor of Scientific Research.
In 1914, he anld, the War De- partment had fewer than 40 experts. By last September there were 800. In addition to this vast knowledge in the Ministry of Supply there were 127 teams of experts, covering Each varied subjects ns organic and Inorganle chemistry, physics, metal- lurgy, pharmacology, explosives, and so on, with 27 key scientists and 112 asslatunts,
Sealed Lips
One of the Ministry's jobs is the Investigation of the inventions sub- milled from outside, nt the rate of about 300 a week
