BETWEEN 3,000 and 4,000 bottles of milk go into a certain factory every day, and out at the other end pours a constant stream of-Bren guns.
The factory is one of the largest producing small arms for the Ministry of Supply.
It has been fount there that the milk. is almost as important as the steel supply for keeping up constant output. It cuts down the sickness rate among the workers.
Milk and guns work better than "guns Instead of butter."
Mass production pours Bren guns out of this factory in staggering nuin- bers, and yet production la not yet at the peak.

Waits For A Prince
COPENHAGEN, the fairy-tale city where Hans Andersen wove romance round the narrow streets and twisted spires, is in a state of happy exellement over the news that Denmark's Crown Princess Ingrid is expecting her first baby.
It is four years since the only daughter of the Swedish Crown Prince married the heir to the Danish Throne, so the untion's joy will be shared by Sweden. England, too, has a share in the event, for Princess Ingrid's mother was born here, and the princess always considers herself at least half- English.
Only the outbreak of war prevented her from paying her usual late summer visit to the Duke of Connaught, her grandfather.
There is a widespread hope that Princess Ingrid's baby will be a boy.
Much of the layette is being chosen in England under, the expert supervision of Princess Ingrid's British relatives.
