AS SEEN BY: THE CAMERA'S EYE

FRONT

NATIONAL SERVICE-Men in the Industrial village of Bamber Bridge, near Preston, are doing in-a small way a great job of work on the land. Some time ago, when mills; in their area ceased to provide enough work, they enlarged their small plots, which started with one here between 16 men; to five acres between 10, and now, in time of emergency they are tackling their job; with renewed" vigoure and incidentally setting' a good example to others."

THERE'S PLENTY OF FOOD-and plenty of ways, of “dlablng it up." Here, members of the Women's Auxillary Territorial Service, who are taking over the important task of feeding the troops in training in this country, are seen finding out from an experienced Army cooli Just what the Tommies like and how they like it cooking. The sergeant, of course, will serve it up for the Tommies!

SILVER SPECULATION

Over-Bullishness Causes Difficulties in Bombay

London, Dec. 4. The fixing of the price of silver was delayed for an hour to-day due to the critical speculative sliuation in Bombay where the local price was equivalent to 31d. per ounce..

The difficulties on the Bombay market were attributed to over- bullishness, speculators reportedly having bought como 25,000,000 [dunces," Hoping to re-sell to up- country hoarders. But the latter aro strangely slow in buying at the pre-... sent rate, and purchases have been made at the rate of only fow thou- | sand ounces - daily, hence the fears

that the Bombay price will topple.

Paradoxically the bears" are also worried. Dealers sold silver not In their possession, and are finding the utmost dimculty in securing the netual metal for delivery.

In the meantime both London and Bombay ure endeavouring to checkt. the Indian-silver boom without cipitating a collapse; hence the Lon don price is baing kent Insulated from the Bomboy price-United Press.
