Royalty Lends Its Treasures
THE King's old home-115, Piccadilly-was thrown -open recently to the public to reveal a collection of treasures valued at a million pounds in cash and untold gold in national emotion and prestige.
The Exhibition of Royal and Historic Treasures, which will run until September 29, has been amassed under the leadership of Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, in aid of the Heritage Craft Schools, Chailey, Sussex, which devotes itself to creating craftsmen out of cripples.
There is a little collection entitled "They Might Have Ruled” —a ring of Frederick, son of George II, father of George III.;| an apron of Princess Charlotte, whose untimely death allowed Victoria to succeed to the Throno a watch ùsed by Charles I's elder brother.

You see, even at night, you go, on using up energy in heartbode breathing and other automatic actions. In your case, this has also led to an excess of acid weste products in the blood. All this causes you to wake |fired, feel run-down. So of

There are relics of the Tragic Figures of History: Napoleon's couch, a mother-o'-pearl mirror in which Mary, Queen of Scots looked before she laid her head on the block at Fotheringay; the portrait of Charles I.
The portralt has a personal history: it was given by St. John's College, Oxford, to Charles II. When, years later, the King asked the College to name some favour he could do, they asked for the portrait back!
Here is, in royal crimson velvet embossed with green figures, the Throne of Queen Elizabeth—and here, too, the coarse sleeping-bag from which Captain Ontes, that "very valiant gentleman,'' stepped out to certain death in the Antarctic night.

How Nazis Built "Western Wall”
Berlin.
Figures.of.considerable interest are. mentioned by Lt.-Gen. Jacob, of the German Corps of Engineers, in a re- trospective article on the western line of fortifications in the "Militaer-Wo- chenblatt," a leading German mili→ tary weekly. The "Western Wall" is described as "finished and unconquer- able."
A third of all the cement-mixing machines in the Reich, LL-Gen, Jacob reveals, were employed on the work of construction, They mixed op- proximately 6,000,000 tons of cement, or more than a third of the total Ger- man output. Nearly 25,000,000 cubic feet of wood were used in building emplacements.
The German State Railways deli- vered 8,000 truckloads of materials dolly during the construction veriod, while cunal traffic also accounted for the transport of large quantities of material. Considerably more than 15,000 lorries, commandeered from all over Germany, were in use.
Infantry entanglements required the employment of 3,000,000 rolls of barbed wire. Tank-traps were con- structed partly by the use of ex- cavating machines, also brought to- gether from all parts of the Reich, and partly by the laying down of rows of concrete "teeth.""
On and after. Oct. 6, 1938, more than 532,000 men were working on the fortifications. Of these, 30,000 were army engineers and 100,000 members of the labour corps,

"Not only in elementary schools, but also in higher schools and technical institutions, there a hardly a lesson in which the Importance of the Western Wall cannot be intro- duced.
In the history lesson this is obvious and casy, but even in such subjects as physics, mathematics and chemistry it is not hard to refer to this great achievement of the Fuehrer."
