PROFESSOR J. C. DRUMMOND has drawn up for the Ministry of Food a specimen meal which will contain all the vitamins the average adult needs over a period of 24 hours.
He produced seven tiny tubes at-a-Food-Ministry-conference,-and-said-that each of them contained enough synthetic vitamin, of each of seven types, to last out the day.

WOMEN in Winchester Road, Leeds, one morning recently saw the heads of three men appear over the parapet of Armley Gaol's 20ft. wall.
For a moment, as they clung to the wall, the men paused and darted swift glances down the street.
On the for side, pointing downhill towards Leeds, was a black saloon car with a door open and the driver standing beside it polishing his glasses.
Another glance showed them that below the ground level of the wall io which they clung was a deep ditch spiked along its bottoin. The far lip of the ditch was edged with con- crele.
Then came a strip of grass, a row of spiked railings between concrete posts, and the cobbled street.
One of the watching housewives shouted to the nich:
"Don't be tools. Go back."
But the men paid no attention. One by one they jumped.
One, a grey-haired man dressed in prison clothes, who is serving a sen- tence of 20 years, did not jump far enough.
He struck the concrete edge of the dlich and broke both legs. He lay groaning until a minute or two. later warders and the prison doctor came and took him away on a stretcher.
The second man, Clifford Somers, ulso made a bad landing. One of his legs gave way beneath him, but he covered the grass plot, lifted himself over the iron railings and scrambled Into the cor,

Somers and Auty were awaiting trialat LettisTM Assizes and—were therefore in plain clothes.
