I DIDNT DO ANYTHING SPECIAL YESTERDAY

I WENT TO BED EARLY

I SEEMED TO SLEEP ALRIGHT

CHINA MAIL, DECEMBER 24, 1937.

SURELY 8 HOURS IS ENOUGH??

Why

am I so tired

THE morning should find you alert in mind and vigorous in body. If your sleep has failed to dispel the fatigue of yesterday and you awake tired, weary and listless, there is a definite cause. Either you did not obtain the necessary hours of restful sleep, or your sleep, unknown to you, was restless. If the latter, the most likely cause is faulty nutrition. You have probably gone to bed that without providing Nature with the right form of nutriment complete and easily assimilated nourishment so essential for re- pairing the daily wear and tear on your system and creating ample reserves of energy.

Portugal, with its valuable island and colonial possessions in East and West Africa, commanding strategic positions along the world's vital trade routes, is now in the limelight of Britain's efforts to preserve peace.

the few seconds that elapse

before a crashed plane bursts into flames, the pilot has his only chance to escape alive, but în nearly every case. his clothes catch fire before he can clamber -out

Experts have been trying, for years, to turn those few seconds" into a real safety-gap. Now ther think they have succeeded.

To-day I saw the most simple and apparently the most obvious solution a lightweight asbestos. suit no more cumbersome than the average leather flying equip- ment.

It will give a pilot ten seconds of life in the fiercest blaze-and the chance to fight his way through the wreckage.

And, as one. of the experts working on the design of fire- proof clothing told me, "A des- perate man can do a great deal in ten seconds.”

The new asbestos suit can be lined with any material, water- proofed, and tailored" as well as

The fioe on which the camp is situated has already showed signs of cracking, after drifting nearly 800 miles from the Pole.

10-OPERATION between Bri-

Crain and Portugal in the past

has greatly facilitated British trade, and in view of the present international situation the Bri- tish Government is becoming an- xious as to Portugal's future re- lations with dictatorship coun- tries.

Consequently the question of sending a British military mission to Portugal for the purpose of improving relations between the defence services of the two coun- tries is again occupying the at- tention of the British Cabinet, and although no decision has yet been taken in this regard it has been officially revealed that con- versations have taken place with Portugal

These consultations are still in progress between Mr. Eden and the Portuguese Ambassador to London, the object of which is to find the best means whereby, clos er contact could be established between defence services of the two countries.

COMMONS QUESTION

When asked in the House of Commons what the object was of effecting this closer contact, Lord Cranbourne, replying on be- half of Mr. Eden said: “I think the House as a whole would be glad to have close contact be- cween us and any other nation.”

It is learned, however, that the main object of the Anglo-Portu- guese talks is to devise means whereby greater mutual safety could be given the two countries. The present situation in Spain and the general international situation has prompted the Bri tish Government to approach the Portuguese Government with view to strengthening the defence relations, as it realised that if is Portuguese independence threatened Britain's trade routes. would also be imperilled.

a

There is, however, a strong po- litical party in Portugal hostile to Britain and the British Gov- ernment would be obliged to test -the general feeling in Portugal through the Portuguese Govern- ment before finally agreeing to send a military mission to Lisbon

PRESS COMMENT

An indication that Britain's co- operation, especially in the mat- ter of colonies is welcomed, is afforded by the Portuguese Press, mainly on account of Germany's recent demands for the return of her former colonial possessions.

"England would never consent to profane hands and unfair am bitions being raised against her oldest and faithful friend, Portu gal,” states the "Diario de Lis- boa"

The Portuguese Press is mani- mous in stating that whatever happens the German claims can- not concern Portuguese colonial territory, which is out of the question.
