PENNY-IN-SLOT "SOUNDIES"
Some-
After the talkies-"Soundies." thing new in entertainment has come from America.
ייז
TT is the penny-in-the-slot motion picture
sounil cabinet, the Panoram,
It is being put on the market by Jimmy Roosevelt, son of the President, and the Chicago slot machine Mills Brothers.
BACK TO THE FIRST FILMS
The Panorum is really the old, original Iden of no- tion pleture presentation, brought up-to-date in 36mm. three-minute, swift-action flms, with full sound effects, all contained in a cabinet not much larger than one which might house a full-size radio rel. The machine Is started by the insertion into the slut of an American dime (about 6:1), or the equivalent in other coinage.
It Intended to supply short, cheap, snappy en tertainment in night clubs, restaurants, aaloons, big shops, and so on.
·
The pictures are thrown on to a mall mirror by a projector contained inside the machine, and reflected from that to a larger semi-transparent screen, 17 inches by 22%, which alone is visible to the audience.
The synchronising sound track is linked up with the working fim. The sound epn be regulated to superimpose itself over even the noise of a large num- ber of people in conversation, yet without the blusting effects so often experienced in certain melion picture liousca.
COMPLETELY FOOLPROOF
One of the drawbacks us it is now is that the payer of the dime has no choice, and has to take what is there and in the rotation in which it is joined up in the film. There are no real top line motion picture per- formers is any of the pletures so far. But all these drawbacks can be changed in the course of time.
Sleep
The machines cost about £175 in the United States, are self-operating and declared to be completely foolproof, Jimmy Roosevelt expects to be able to place one of his "soundles" in almost every night club in America.
But there is no danger that I will be a rival to the cinema.
In The Blitzkrieg
HAKESPEARE was pretty
SHAKESP
lyrical about sleep, but if
he had been alive to-day, and. had experienced some of Lon- don's Blitzkrieg, he would cer- tainly have written a whole play on the subject.
When I think of how only a few weeks ago I used deliberately to stay up when I could have been asleep, I shudder! And now the subject has taken the place of the weather in the citizen's small talk. No one says "What fright- ful weather," on meeling n friend. Instead you hear "Well, I had nearly five hours sleep last night. How are you getting on?" If you've managed to scrounge hearly even hours, you feel al- most guilty, though undoubtedly refreshed.

Keeping up Appearances
WE can stand it, of course.
It's
amazing how adaptable the human body is. Beside, the thought that we are making Hitler and Co. gnash their teeth is worth the hours of sleep we are losing. But I discovered that sleeplessness was beginning to make a difference to my looks, and a good many other women have mude the same com- plaint. My skin began to look a bit muddy. I had more lines round ifty cyca than, were there before the battle began, and my hair wos untraclable and limp. So I look stops.

the pack treatment twice a week. Next, I've substituted for my usual night cleansing cream a nourishing cream, which is patted well into the skin, specially under 'the eyes. Eyes nearly always first begin to show the effects of lack of sleep and plenty of worry, so give them a little encouragement by laying on the elused lids pads soaked in eye lolion when you are thorough- ly relaxed in bed. I give them ten minutes of this, then remove the pads, and gu to sleep—or try

Most of all I enjoy my hot bath, with lots of salts in tumor a little ammonia, falling salts-so that the pores of the skin are deeply cleans- e. I've invested in a nice scrubby brusti. When I've thoroughly rooped myself, I scrub the lather well in: and then after a plungo under the water, scrub it out. I've always belleved that hot baths. should be a ritual, but never have I enjoyed one so much ns after a night in a shelter with bombs and zun-fre crashing all round me.

IT
Y hair nearly sent me mad. It went into what my mother used to call "rats tails." So, be- foro I washed it last time. I gave it a good feed of all. (olive or almond all wit do), massaging it well into the rools by pressing my Angers on the scalp and rotating round and round and back and forth, with my elbows on flo dressing inule and my finger tips doing the works. To start from the hair line, and work towards the crown is the best way, and special- ly to carry the musange down the back of the neck, where the nerves are. When I had washed my hair, I gave a tonk-another quilo Inexpensive purchase-using a pad of cotton wool and applying it down partings all over my head. What with the tonie and the mag- sage, my head was soon tingling and the sense of well-being was extraordinarily pleasant s the blood www stimulated to flow through the tinsues.

Ritual of Rest
sounds a lot of trouble, but it's not really too much to secure the fine, invigorating effect. Worth the trouble, too, is to prepare your- self for rest at night. Quite a number of women seem to sleep in their clothes, which I think is fatal to the hope of rest. portant to take off all your day Karnefits, especially corsels and shoes, and either wear or get ready to slip into a light, warm wrap. The siren suits we heard so much about at the beginning of the war. are frat-class, because the trouser- ed legs keep you really warm. Have a pair of warm light, slippers ready as well. You can put your day clothes in a neat pile so that you can grab them if you have to evacuate suddenly,
For myself. I go to bed really carly-about 7 or 8 p.m. so that I have a sporting chance of rest-be- fore anything starts and I begin carly in the morning to get things done. I fake a hot nightcap, rend A little, and then settle down. And that if I can manage to get to sleep before the gunfire begins, I can usually stay asleep for quite a while. But oh, how I yearn for my quiet little collage in the vil

Coastal Look-Out
Invasion dangers may have diminished-but the vigil around Britain's shores must never be relaxed. What that constant-watch entails is vividly described here by
F. G. H. Salusbury
VERY nerve in his body
Eis as finely stretched as the
E string of a violin. His eyes have been straining into the darkness until they seem to be mounted on yard-long stalks.
On his alertness, his judg- ment, depends, in a large measure, the efficiency of the coast defence battery of which he is a look-out man.
It is a dirty night, and he is cold, despite his extra clothing for there is nothing between him and the wind which whips in from the sea.
n
He dare not relax, nor anuggle momentarily into corner. He dare not lean for a second against a wall. That way lies the terrible danger of sleep which is on you before you can bat an eyelid.
"Oh, my," he sings over and over to himself, in an echo of the last-war song, "I don't want to die, I want to go home."
And the wind which is in a devilish mood, scems, to pull hia eyes two yards farther out and snap them back again.
Hell! What's that patch? Out there! Just off the head- land! It's a boat, it's an E-bont. No! Get away with you, it's nothing! It's just a box drifting; any fool could tell that.
After France
UNTIL last May the coast defences of Britain were con- centrated on ports and all that they imply, with the Army and the Royal Navy working in the closest co- operation,
Rather luxurious work it was, too, in the estimation of other soldiers and those civi- lians who saw nothing but the trim brick and stone exteriors of the fortifications and their satellite buildings.
Then enme the disaster in France, and, with it, the yery lively threat of invasion.

of no mistake. There can be no fallures, no folse alarms.
There must be always enough men awake, and on the hop, to fire the guns for a few minules. More, who must be close at hand to carry on, are allowed to sleep, but they must sleep fully dressed and pre- pared.
The rest may be off duty, and,

A Weird Game THESE gunners do not have much limelight, but no other branch of the Service can provide fliter men --the weight of shell and cartridge which must be manhandled in ac- tion is buckbreaking.
They have little fun and games. I know of the one battery on on Island. The men's whole exercise is in a weird game of follow-my- leader under and over guns, beds and the machinery,
