Empire's To
Regiment
ΟΝ The Abyssinia-Kenya border, the Italians have had
their first fierce taste of warfare against the toughest, most colourful Colonial regiment of the Empire, the King's African Rifles.
Although superior in num bers by ten to one, the Italians found the Moyale Bghting very different from the mus sacre of toothless oki men, of women, and children in leisure ly bombing raids over Ethio pian villages: a change from the days when they squnited behind machine-guns and hosed lend into onrushing native spearinen.
Brothers, fathers, husbands. of the dead are now in the King'a Afriend Rifles-no longer wild tribesmen, but dis- ciplined soldiers in cruck units, armed with weapons as power- ful as those of the enemy, led by white offleers experienced in military operations over desert, swamp, mountain, and jungle.

This War Calls for ADID YOU
Plain-Clothes V. C.
THIS is an Everybody-in-the- Front-Line war. 11 calls for
some new thinking about rewards and medals.
Up to the Crimean and Boer Wars the matter was simple. An army went away to fight. As the war progressed, afterwards, individual acts of great courage and gallantry were recognised and rewarded. Some even earned the Victoria Cross.
In the last war it became more complicated. Though it was by no means an "all-in" affair, civilians were called on for behind-the-sernes war work. They were rewarded with
civilian decorations,
To-day civilian war work brings many of the perils oƒice res served for the soldier, sad or, and airman. Police, fire- men, both regular and auxiliary, and A.R.P. workers are doing front-line joli.
Workers in such obvious targets as munitions factories know,
and are resolutely facing. their special danger.
We can look forward to hearing, with national pride, of deeds of valour at home, of initiative against the enemy. of sacrifier for a neighbour, by plain Mr., Mrs. and Miss. Those deeds should be rewarded, and I am going to make a statement which I hope will not be considered unkind or unjust.
The O.B.E. will not do.
Holders of the O.B.E. from the last war include a great many patriotic people who gave time and unstinted effort to help the men who did the real fighting.
But it must be stated that to the average person the O.B.E. is associated with membership of a committee or post in an administration, It is not full-blooded.
To-day we have the need for a new order—a civilian Order of
Courage. It should go to the men and women who knowingly brave death for their country, though not carrying their country's arms.

WONDER?
Why Baking Powder Makes Cakes Light Baking powder may be con. sidered as
a chemical sub. stitute for yeast.
When yeast is used, the microscopic yeast plants cause fermentation in starch and sugar solutions. One of the products of this fermentation is carbon dioxide or carbonic
acid gas. This gas forms countless little bubbles in the dough making it swell up or "rise," and food baked from the dough is light and porous.
The use of baking powder in place of yeast likewise causes carbon dioxide to be formed, producing a similar the bread- porous quality in stuffs. The baking powder process, however, differs from the yeast process in that yeast works slowly, depending upon the growth of tiny microscopic plants and the resulting fer- mentulion to make the gas, while baking powder produces the gas quickly as the result of chemical reaction between the ingredients in the powder.
bo
not
All baking powder contains bi- carbonate of sodo (commonly known as baking soda). In addi- tion to the soda, which is an alkali, baking powder also contains an acid-forming ingredient. This may of tartar (potassium cream bitartrate), an acid phosphate, or a compound of the alum group.
Starch flour or some other inert ingredient is commonly added to the baking powder in manufac ture to
prevent the acid and alkali from acting prematurely. Thus the active ingredients de pro combine chemically until, they are made wet by the moisture in the dough, whereupon the alkali and
acid react and
carbon dioxide gus .is released...
Dough may also be made to rise without the user either of baking powder or of yeast, simply by jeg mlela baking soda and, sour milk. The sour milk contains lac- tle acld, the result of fermenta- tion, and this acid reacts with the alkall to form the desired bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
There are not many so-called on the "alum baking powders"
The alum has very generally been replaced by an- hydrous sodium aluminium sul- phate.
