Big Crusade Aims

To Save

Britain Millions

NEW ray,

known as the "Q-ray," has been adopted for use in a big anti-rheumatism campaign which is being launched by Mr. Frank Bailey, general secretary of the N.U.R. approved society.

Mr. Balley hopes to form a general council of doctors, Industrialists, trade unions and other interested bodles.

He said: "This crusade, if vigorously pursued, should save approved ~~~~ | societies millions a year, apart from

the pain and suffering."

BRITAIN'S FUTURE IN MEDITERRANEAN

A suggestion that Britain should give up Gibraltar in exchange for Ceuta, on the African side of the Straits, was made by Vice Admiral C. V. Usborne at a meeting of the Near and Middle East Society in London recently. Admiral Usborne, who is now on the retired list, was formerly Director of Naval Intelli- gence.
