Empire's Toughest

Regiment

The Abyssinia-Kenya border, the Italians have had their first force taske of warfare against the toughest, most colourful Colonial regiment of the Empire, the King's African Rifles.

Although superior in numer berg by ten to one, the Italıntıs found the Moyale fighting very different from the mas sacre of toothless old men, of women, and children in levsure ly bombing raids over Ethio pian villages; change from the days when they squatted. behind machine-guns and hosed lend into onrushlig native spearinets.

Brothers, fathers, husbands. of the dead are now in th King's African Rifles --no longer wild tribesmen, but dis- ciplined soldiers in crack units, armed with weapons as power- ful as those of the enemy, led by white officers experienceit in military operations over desert, swamp, mountain, and jungle.

This War Calls for A DID

Plain-Clothes V. C.

THIS is an Everybody-in-the-Front-Line war,

JI calls for

some new thinking about rewards and medals, Ta to the Crimean and Hoer Wars the matter was simple. An

army went away to fight As the War progressed, o afterwards, individual acts of great courage and gallantry were recognised and rewarded. Some even earned the Victoria Cross.

In the best war it became more complicated. Though it was by no means an "all in" affair, civilians were called an for behind-the scenes war work. They were rewarded with civilian decorations.

To-day civilian war work brings many of the perils once res served for the soldier, sai or, and airman. Police, fire. men, both regular and auxiliary, and A.R.P. workers are doing a front-line job.

Workers in such obvious targets as munitions factories know.

anut are resolutery faring, their special danger.

We can look forward to hearing, with national pride, of deeds of valour at home, of initiative against the enemy. of sacrifice for a neighbour, by plain Mr., Mrs, and Miss. Thuse deeds should be rewarded, and I am going to make a statement which I hope will not be considered unkind ar 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.

1

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 carrying their country's arms.

WHEN CIVIL SERVANTS BID

You make a rough guess, and say to yourself: "A CIVE Servant." You go your way quite unstirred.

But the man you have seen is the latest link in a chain, of deve- lopment which was already old nine centuries ago.

Before William the Conqueror his sharp-prowed galleys swept ashore on Pevensey Bay Π rudi mentary Civil Service existed here.

Ex In the 12th century the chfequer-first' and most important branch of the Service-was settled quietly in the Palace of Westmins

Perhaps you remember the storm which broke when it was proposed to employ women in the Civil Service? Well, there was a similar storm in the 14th century when laymen were introduced,

Before then the entire service had been in the hands of the clergy --and for a good reason. When a higher offeer" "did not become nvollable, a servant could be ap~, peased, if a, parson, by promotion

At this time the only payment made to Civil Servants was their board and lodgings... but so existed of many.. opportunities making a little on the side" that the appointments were customari- ly sold to the highest bidder.

Some will find a curious re- semblance between the methods of the Exchequer in the 14th century and the methods of the Treasury to-day.

The Customs is an ancient branch of the Civil Service,

The way with Customs was to farm them out to the highest bld. der. A speculative merchant would pay a solid lump sum to the King for the year's Customs re- ceipts on a particulur article. And there would be another Civil Ser- vant keeping a close record of how much he took, so that the price could be put up the next year.

YOU WONDER?

Why Baking Powder Makes Cakes Light Baking powder may be con- sidered as

a chemical sub- stitute for yeast.

When

used, the yeast is microscopic yeast plants cause fermentation in starch and sugar solutions. One of the products of this fermentation is carbon dioxide or carbonic ack gas. This

forms Kas 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 likewlse causes carbon dioxide to be formed, producing a similar porous quality in the bread- stuffs. The baking powder procesa, however, differs from the yeast process in that yeast works slowly, depending upon the growth of tiny microscopic plants and the resulting fer- mentation to make the gas, while baking powder produces the gas quickly as the result of chemical reaction between the ingredients in the powder.

All baking powder contains bi- carbonate of sodn (commonly known as baking soda). In addi- tion to the soda, which is on alkoll. baking powder also contains on neid-forming Ingredient. This may be cream of tartar (potassium 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 reacting prematurely. Thus protected, the active ingredients do not combine chemically until they are made wet by the moisture. in the dough, whereupon the alkali and the acid react and carbon dioxide gas is released.

Dough may also be made to rise without the use either of baking powder or of yeast, simply by setky mlada halding soda and sour milk. The sour milk contains lac- tie neld, the result of fermenta- tion, and this acid reacts with the alkali to form the desired bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.

There are not many so-called "alum baking powders" on the

The alum has very. generally been replaced by an hydrous sodium aluminium sul- phate,
