Feeling "Run Down!"

Just suppose that right now you were talking to a physician. YOU would have to confess to him that somehow you seem to tire very quickly nowadays; that your energy is gone and that now and then you feel jumpy and irritated.

*My dear man!” he would no doubt say, "look at the symptoms logically. Yours ta a clear case of strained nerves. We need not go into how you got that way. The climate, hard and nervous work, late -nights, they can all be to blame-but you want to know how to become your old self again. Why not start taking Sanatogen--it's really great stuff! It's made just for people like you, and I know from long experience that it will do you à lot of good. You have asked too much from your nerves, and with Sanatogen you replace the lost energy quickly,"

Over 25,000 physicians are of the opinion that taking Sanst- ogen is the easy and logical way back to real health and vitality. Why not give Senatogen a

trial? Every chemist sells it. Start taking it now, then you will soon notice its remarkable influence on your health and vitality

A SEARCH-LIGHT ON THE

MERCHANT NAVY

From Sailing Ships To The Queen Mary

DISLODGING ICE FROM PLANES

DEVICE FOR R.A.F. BOMBERS

The Air Ministry is considering the fitting of Royal Air Force bombing aeroplanes with de-icers,

Ice formation has been an in- creasing cause of accidents, as cloud Aying has increased, and, in America, many commercial craft are Atted with apparatus for dis- lodging ice from wings and em- perinage.

When an aeroplane enters ice- forming conditions, ice builds up fairly rapidly at the leading edges of the wings and tail of the wing and reduces its lift to such an ex- tent that anally the aeroplane is brought to the ground.

Between these two extremes there is every conceivable. sort of shipowning concern, each with its Publicity has no doubt been re- own problems and each with its sponsible for many important im- own idea of the importance of the provementa-improvements in food. industry as a whole."

There is even talk of leave on pay becoming the rule instead of the exception. This much publicity can claim. But It has falled to bring either the Merchant Ship- ping Actor Board of Trade Re- gulations into line with modern conditions.

Many people will no doubt be surprised to learn, for instance, that the Queen Mary could legally be sent to sea with one certificated officer beside the commander, or, If a man cares to buy her and call her a yacht, with none at all. They will be even more surprised to learn that there is no periodical inspection of British ships and their life-saving gear, and that such inspections as are carried out are at the request of the owners,

Publicity has failed, 23 our vialtor from the past might re- mark, to attract the modern youth to the sea. The smoke-stack and the Press have between them dis- pelled the mystery, and therefore ingst of the romance, with the re- sult that the number of candidates for Board of Trade examinations is now less than half what it was 40 years ago.

and absolutely no certainty or feel- ing of security, and many young married officers dread the retum of their ships to a "paying-off" port.

The effect of this on keen of cers striving to reach command can be imagined. It is a relic of the past which should have been abandoned many years ago. If the transfer of personnel to a Ministry did nothing else beyond abolishing this evil it would justify itself over and over again.

In ninety per cent. of British merchant ships there is no system of leave, certainly not on pay, un- less, one calls a few stolen week- ends, during, a year leave, and no matter how many years' loyal ser- vice a man has put in a slight ac- cident over which he has had, per- haps, no control whatever speils dismissal. There is no inquiry, no counterpart to a naval court- · martial: be is not even asked for an explanation in the majority of cases. He is just told to go.

If the accident involves the loss of a ship or life, or both, there will be a Board of Trade inquiry. The master and officers concerned may as a result of this (a) be censured, (b) be exonerated, or (c) have their certificates suspended, but in practically no caser does the find- ing of the Court prevent dismissal by the owners. Here is another matter which would naturally be

It becomes, therefore, not only a duty but an urgent necessity to take stock of ourselves on the sea at once.

In a recent broadcast Vice-Admi Sir Geo. Chetwode made a sugges- tion which, if carried out, would do more to restore the Red Ensign to the position it once occupied than anything else. It is signi- ficant that the Vice-Admiral has not only been Deputy-Director of Naval Intelligence and Naval Be- cretary to the First Lord of the Admiralty, but also Admiral Com manding Reserves. He therefore speaks with complete knowledge of the Merchant Navy and its import: ance to the Royal Navy and the country. His suggestion is to turn the personnel over to a Ministry of Marine as a national service.

OUR TWO SEA SERVICES None of us can see to what ex- tent our two sea Services will be thrown together in a future naval war, but we do know that any- thing which tends to improve the standing and well-being of the Navy's professional reserve must not only enhance its value as a reserve, but at the same time sim- plify the Navy's chief task; that of protecting it. For this reason I would go even farther than Vice- Admi. Chetwode and suggest an GREATEST SINGLE ÉVIL
