Flying Laboratory Six Miles High

SCIENTISTS SEEK CLUES

TO COSMIC RAYS

A

LABORATORY in the stratosphere, higher than Mount Everest, is wanted by Professor P. M. Blackett, Britain's leading authority on cosmic rays,

He told the Royal Society last month that the object was to intercept, on their way from space, the mysterious cosmic rays which constantly bombard the earth.

He is hoping that the Air Ministry, which is carrying out regular high altitude flights, will provide the "laboratory" in the cockpit of a plane.

Such an experiment, the first high altitude cosmic ray investi- gation in this country, has already! been carried out.

NEW SYSTEM OF TRAINING

A new system of training at R.A.F. schools includes the fol- lowing test for the award of the flying badge (wings) :-

But not one could describe the costumes which combin- ing decency with freedom of movement, would please

everyone. Mr. E. II. Whittle, manager- engineer of the Holborn Borough Baths Department, was vaguo when he introduced the subject.

Mr. Baker, of Hastings, set another poser when he asked: "Why is it that the growing practice of wearing shorts in the water in decent in the sea and In open-air baths but indecent in- doors?"

Which reminded everybody-What Is the ideal bathing costume?

NOTHING is more enervating than humidity, excessive heat and

sunglare, which seriously saps the human vitality. Such a strain. on the nervous system weakens the powers, of resistance; resulting in headaches, conditions of lassitude, nerviness, debility, etc. During hot trying periods 'ASPRO' can prove invaluable, particularly due to the fact that after ingestion in the system it promotes skin action and poison elimination through the pores-the natural function of the body. Furthermore, ' 'ASPRO' quietens and soothes the nerves and is the ideal medicine for minor complaints during sweltering hot weather conditions and heat waves.
