He is an electrical engineer, but the only way he could get into the Army was by describing himself us a "rough carpenter." The Army want- ed rough earpenters, not professors.

He is a 100 per cent. Canadian though he worked in America, Carter is not a real name.

PROFESSOR J. C. DRUMMOND has drawn up for the Ministry of Food a specimen meal which will contain all the vitamins the average adult needs over a period of 24 hours.

He produced seven tiny tubes at a Food Ministry conference, and said that each of them contained enough synthetic vitamin, of each of seven types, to last out the day.

The air was filled with the roar of airplane motors and the heavy thud of bonibs.

As the staff pored over maps, tele- phoned, sent dispatch riders out in the dawn, a sentry appeared and up- nounced that a ileutenant from the adjoining division hind arrived.

The visitor was shown in unmedi- alely. He was unshaven, covered with dust and breathless. A little too breathless.

WOMEN in Winchester Roud, Leeds, one morning recently saw the heads of three men appear over the parapet of Armley Gaol's 20ft. wall.

For a moment, as they clung to the wall, the men paused and darted swift glances down the street.

On the far side, pointing downhill towards Leeds, was u black saleon car with a door open and the driver: standing beside it polishing his classes.

Another glance showed them that below the ground level of the wall to which they clunut was a deep ditel spiked along its bottom. The far lip! of the ditch was edged with con- crete.

Then came a strip of grass, a row of spiked railings between, concrete | posts and the cobbled street,

One of the watching housewives shouted to the men:

"Don't be tools. Go back." But the men paid no attention. One by one they jumped.

One, a strey-haired man dressed in prison clothes, who is serving a sen- tence of 20 years, did not jump far enough.

He struck the concrete edge of the ditel: and broke both legs. Ile Iny groaning until a minute or tivo later warders and the prison doctor came and took him away on a stretcher.

Somers and Auly were awaiting trial at Leeds Assizes and were therefore in plain clothes.

Soldier's Wife Sued: 5 Judges To Decide

THE case of the Temperance Permanent Building Society against a soldier's wife, Mrs. Nevitt, will probably come before five judges of the Court of Appeal.

When application for leave to sign judgment for possession was made in the Chancery Division Mr. Justice Farwell refused to make any order, saying that it seemed to be a gross mis-use of the powers of the Court.

Yesterday the Society appealed against the refusal.
