BRUNCHEON
for this useful day-off meal
G
It.
MOING out to the matshed for the day? Perhaps, like most people, you're wondering what to do to make the most of
Are you thinking of taking your food? Plenic lunches are fine-except for the person who has to cut the sandwiches and pack the basket and the other person who has to carry it around all day.
A lot of people, disliking this amount of work on a holiday, don't go out till after lunch, and then they feel that half the day is gone.
There is a solution. It means introducing an entirely new ment to your family—a break-fast-cum- lunch which you cat at eleven o'clock. Then you can get out into the country right away, Holiday makers in America go in for this cleven o'clock meal. They find they've more energy for a hot day when they bave started on a good meal.
t
If you have some biscuits with early morning tea you should be able to keep going until eleven. Make the new meal a light but for- tifying one. Then Instead of great plenie bosket with vacuum nasks and far food, talte a small packet of biscuits and cheese to cut with coffee, beer or ten in the carly afternoon, and corne home in the evening to a quickly cooked hot meal. (The one below takes - teen minutes.)
Here are Kome ideas for the eleven o'clock meal.
DRINK hot milky coffee Instead of ten; the
milk makes it more nourishing.
SCONES are a change from brend. This is a good recipe for Scotch scones. Take lb. flour. 1oz. butter, pinch of salt, quarter teaspoonful blcar- bonate of soda, half teaspoonful cream of tartar. Sieve the four with the sult, soda, and cream of tartar, and rub in the butter with your fingers. Now add quarter pint milk (sour milk would be better). Roll out the dough on a floured board, cut into rounds, and put on a hot baking sheet sprinkled with flour. Bake until both sides. are pale brown.

TWENTY-ONE NIGHTS IN
PARIS
by Maurice Dekobra Werner Laurie, 12s 6d. HE Princess Olga Dobra- THE
nichkoff held that ser- vants needed thirty strokes with a cowhide whip every morning to teach them to be- have with respect due to rank!
This princess's racket was to sell at fabulous prices silver tea-ser- vices alleged to have been rescued from the Russinn revolution, but actually supplied by the jeweller round the corner:
Her eyes half-shut, her cheek, bones rather prominent, her mouth rather cruel and her pearls rnther false, all helped to prove the bona-fdes of this beautiful Muscovite exile.
mysd once met a beautiful Muscovite exile who called her- self Princess Oblong and tried to sell me a samovar which, she sald, had belonged to Peter, the Great. But that, as Kipling used to say, is, another story.

THE LOG OF NO LADY
by Ursula Bloom
Chapman & Halt, 10, 6ti, THIS book is the log of what happened to Miss Bloom when, war being imminent, she moved into, the country. Here are some extracts:-

Nazi Parachutists Dropped to Death in Norway
Germany has made much use of parachute troops. The 'planes 'used for this purpose are old types of 3-englued Junkers 62. About 20 men are carried in each. The men are heavily ladeji, carrying folding bicycles, radio sels, parts of tents and food, besides small "Schnelser" sub-machine guns firing 30 rounds (see figure fust leaving 'plans). Because the men are heavily burdened the "statle Ilna" 'method of re- leasing the parachute is used. To the back of the parachute is attached stout cord which is fixed to the in- side of the 'plane. When the solßler jumps out the cord rins the cover from the parachute (as seen in the dia- gram) and the parachute opens. The cords are left swit in, the alipstream with the parachute covers attached. Many of these parachutists have been buried: the snow or picked up with broken legs.
ར་
The method used for troop transport by air is to strip a huge civil passenger 'plane of all seals, lug- gage racks, etc., and cram it with soldiers. The plane shown in the drawing is a Junkers 10. These great 'planes carry normally 40 passengers and a crew of 4 (see inset drawing), but the Germans claim to carry 50 soldiers per Journey (standing, of course).
Hitler
It In
Learned Spain
TOM WINTRINGHAM,
who fought against Franco in the Spanish War,
- explains how some of Hitler's tactics developed from that campaign.
PIECING together
the
stories told by soldiers returning from Flanders, one can see that the Germans had an extra advantage that has so far escaped attention.
They were in the fortunate posí- tion of being able to use tactics and equipment which had been thoroughly tested and improved during the war in Spain.
In that war, which included more mountain fighting than is gener- ally realised, the Germans learnt that isolated detachments could be used in attack to an extent provi- ously impossible.
They learnt the value of a well-
Fifth Column.
Spanish origin of this much used phrase should not be for gotten.
They learnt the need for a close integration of all arms with the infantry, and the value of what one might call "double-purpose" wen- pons.
This Integration of the German army has made each small unit of it capable of acting as a separate tiny inny on its own.
The British army, through old- fashioned methods of organisa- tion and lack of experience in the tactles and strategy of Infil- tration, has not found it possible General Keitel, Hitler's Chlef of

and so on.
These are not separate organisa- tions, of which bits are added to the infantry units, but are integral parts of the infantry regiment.
Old-Fashioned Army Organisation
Those who control the British Army have unfortunately paid no attention to this lesson from Spain. For example, our anti-tank guns, which began as Infantry weapons, have been taken away from the infantry and made part of the Royal Artillery.
Our Infantry have only anti tank rifles, smaller weapons of which the efficiency has yet to be proved in battle.
Is that headache Sinusitis?
SINUSITIS, or ainus inflam-
mation, is quite a com- mon complaint.
Yet many sufferers from it do not realise that their persistent head- ache with attacks of dizziness is really due to sinus inflammation; In fact, most people are quite un- aware of the existence of slauses, otherwise small cavities in the skull communicating with the nose.

We think of the human skull as solid structure. Actually It is honey-combed with cavities. This no doubt makes for lightness and serves other useful, pirposes; · but Nature, in designing these air cham- bera, reckoned without germs.
Many sinuses are in communica- tion with the exterior; and if germa creep in, there is trouble..

These cavities leading from the nose ore, first, the frontal sinuses, sifunted above and behind the eye- brow. They are a pair, one on cach side, Next, the maxillary sinuses, also a pair. They lie in the cheek, just above the upper

Finally the ethmoidal sinuses. These run back nlong, the nasal side of each eye; they are multiple (three to dificen on each. side), ́
These are the most commonly af- fected. There are still other cavi- ties (the sphenoldal) which com- municate with the nose, but in fection less
common, and may be a very serious matter.
What are the symptoms of inter- tion of the nasal sinuses? -

One Cerman Gun
Does Three jobs
To give one example, the Ger- mans have a 30 mm. gun, which is used for three purposes. It is an anti-aircraft gun, a piece of Beld artillery, and a heavy anti-tank weapon.
As an anti-aircraft gun it is not so good as our 3.7 inch, which is of about the same size. As field artil- lery, it is not so good as our 25- pounder. As an anti-tank gun it is too heavy, and fires too slowly, as compared with our own anti-tank artillery.
But this single German gun will do all three jobs, and do them suf- ficiently well.
Therefore when a German ship aches Norway, single guns con be handed out which are almost equivalent British weapons.
