While mother will never frame this picture, she will never forget the happiness that it brought. Thanks to the magic of electricity, she can see in the X-Ray picture that her son's arm will heal perfectly.

But being thankful for elec- tricity is not new to modern mothers. For in their homes electrical appliances are today performing hundreds of tasks that in grandmother's day were drudgery.

Designing and building these

TWO VICTORIES

AS A RESULT

SPECIAL TO THE “TELEGRAPH”

CHUNGKING, Nov. § (UP).—Japan's military policy. of "sending a boy to do a man's job” has cost the Island Empire two almost certain victories this year, when major drives were instituted, and will cost them even more heavily in the future, said a military adviser to the Chinese Central Armies.

In their drive on Changsha, the adviser explained, A five Japanese divisions, unsupported by artillery re- giments and tanks, were used. They had to protect a 250-mile front extending from Tungting Lake to Nanchang, while at the same time sending four columns of troops in a converging movement on Changsha. Sixteen Chinese divisions, but numerically no larger than the Japanese contingents, held the lines.

Last April, when the Japanese through their superlor equipment it attempted an encirclement of the Chinese tried to carry the attack the Chinese troops in the North too far."

According to Chinese reports, the Hupeh, south Honan area, thoy Japanese have had little success in used the greater portion of four recruiting Chinese to fight under the divisions and one brigade of Rising Sun flag.
