for this useful day-off

meal

OING out to the matshed for the day? Perhaps, like most

Gpeople, you're wondering what to do to make the most of

it.

Are you thinking of taking your food? Picnic lunches are fine except for the person who has to cut the sandwiches and pack the basket and the other person who has to carry it around all day,

A lot of people, disliking this amount of work on a holiday, don't go out till after lunch, and then they feel that half the day is gone.

There is a colution. It means introducing an entirely new meal to your family-a break-fast-cum- lunch which you eat ut eleven o'clock. Then you can get out into the country right away. Holiday makers in America go in for this eleven o'clock meal. They And they've more energy for a hot day when they have started on a good meal.

If you have some biscults with early morning ten you should be able to keep going until eleven. Make the new meal a light but for-

ຕ tifying one. Then, instead of great plenic basket with

Vacuum flasks and jar food, take a small packet of biscuits and cheese to cat with coffee, beer or tea in the early afternoon, and come home in the evening to a quickly cooked hol menl. (The one below takes of- teen minutes.)

Here are some Ideas for the eleven o'clock meal.

PARIS

by Maurice Dekobra Werner Laurie, 12r 6d. THE Princess Olga Dobra- nichkoff held that ser- vants needed thirty_strokes with a cowhide whip every morning to teach them to be- have with respect due to rank!

This princess's racket was to sell nt fabulous prices silver tea-ser- vices alleged to have been rescued from the Russian revolution, but actually supplied by the jeweller round the corner

Her eyes half-shut, her cheek- bones rather prominent, her mouth rather cruel and her pearls rather false, all helped to prove the bona-Ades of this beautiful Muscovile exile.

I myself

Nazi Parachutists Dropped to Death in Norway

Germany has made much use of parachute troops. The 'planes used for this purpose are old types of 3-engined Junkers 52. About 20 men are carried in each. The men are heavily laden, carrying folding blcycles, radio acts, parts of tents and food, besides small. "Schnelser" mab-machine guns firing 30 rounds (see figuro just leaving 'plano). Because the men are so heavily burdened the "static line" method of re- leasing the parachute is used. To the back of the parachute is attached a stout cord which is fixed to the in- side of the plane. When the soldier jumps out the cord rips the cover from the parachute (as seen in the dia- the parachute covers gram) and the parachute opens. The cords are left swinging in the alipstream with attached. Many of these parachutists have been buried in the snow or picked up with broken legs,

The method used for troop transport by air is to strip a huge civil passenger 'plane of all scats, lug- gage racks, cte, and cram it with soldiers. The 'plane shown in the drawing is a Junkers 90. These great 'planes carry normally 40 passengers and a crew of 4 (see inset drawing), but the Germans claim to carry 50 soldiers per Journey"(standing, of course).

They were in the fortunate posi- tion of being able to use tactics and equipment which had thoroughly tested and improved during the war in Spain.

These are not separate organisa- tions, of which bits are added to the infantry units, but are integral parts of the infantry regiment.

Old-Fashioned Army Organisation

Those who control the British Army have unfortunately paid no to this lesson from Spain. attention

For example, our anti-tank guns, which began as infantry weapons, have been taken away from the infantry and made part of the Royal Artillery.

Our infantry have only anti- smaller weapons of tank rifles, which the efficiency has yet to be proved in battle.

Is that headache Sinusitis?

CINUSITIS, or sinus inflam- Smation, is quite a com-

mon complaint.

Yet many sufferers from it do not realise that their persistent head- ache with attacks of dizziness, is really due to sinus infommation; In fact, most people ara qulia un- aware of the existence of sinuses, otherwise small cavities in the skull communicating with the nose.

We think of the human skull as it is solid structure. Actually honey-combed with cavities. This no doubt makes for lightness and serves other useful purposes; but Nature, in designing these air cham- berg, reckoned without germs.

Many sinuses are in communica- tion with the exterior; and if germs creep in, there is trouble.

One well-known skull-cavity, the instold anirun, communicates with the middle ear, and most of us know that "mastold trouble" (due to infection spreading back from the enr) is a pretty painful and serious complaint.

But trouble with the three little skull cavities which communicate with the nose is less popularly re-

Luckily it is not so seri ous as mastold trouble, though i can be irritating enough in its way. cavities leading from the These nose are, Arst, the frontal sinuses, situnted above and behind the eye- brow. They are a pair, one on each side. Next, the maxillary sinuses, also a pair. They lie in the check, just above the upper molar teeth,

Finally the ethmoidal sinuses. These run back along the nasal side of each eye; they are multiple (three to Afteen on each elde).

These are the most commonly at- fected. There are still other cavi- fles (the sphenoldal) which com- municate with the nose, but in- fection is less common, and may be a very serious matter.

What are the symptoms of infee- ion of the nasal sinuses?

There is a feeling of fullness and distension in the site of the cavities that is, around the forehend, eyes, root of the nose, or cheeks.

A dull, boring headache is usual: neuralgia of the eyes or jaws, men-

This integration of the German army has made each small unit of I capable of acting as a separate tiny army on its own.

The British army, through oki- fashioned methods of organisa- lon and lack of experience in the tactics and strategy of Infl- tration, has not found it possible to split its forces' into a number of smaller and self-contained units, a process that is especially necessary when fighting along a number of narrow valleys.

In the Oghting the German at- tack split up into separate spear- lients, coming over tracks so dif- ficult that few pro

prople believed they could be crossed.

No similar splitting up of the Britist forces could be noticed when they were moving forward to the attack.

The Germans superiority in "double purpose" equipment is of particular importance when wea- pons have to be shipped by sea,

One German Gun

..

Does Three Jobs

To give one example, the Ger- mans have a 88 mm. gun, which is used for three purposes. It is an anti-aircraft gun, à plece of held artillery, and a heavy anti-tank weapon.

As an anti-dreratt gun it is not 50 good as our 3.7 inch, which is of about the same size. As field artil- lery, it is not so good as our 25- pounder. As an anti-tank gun it is too heavy and fires too, slowly, as compared with our own. anti-tank artillery.

But this single German gun will do all three jobs, and do them suf- ficiently well.

Therefore when a German ship reaches Norway, single guns can be handed out which are almost

to three equivalent

seperate British weapons.

And each of these three British weapons must be hauled through the snowdrifts and over mountain ronds to the fighting front.

Sometimes,

argued, there will be a simultaneous allock by funks and aeroplanes, and the same gun cannot deal with both..

All-Purpose Weapons Are Wanted

The fact remains that such cases are exceptional, and for most of the time the Germans have an al- most equal fire-power at one-third the transport east.
