**Sorry, lady

we're all out of moth balls!"

Normal strength is five bultations and the Somaltland Camel Corps. but, by the end of the last war, the rentment had 38,000 men battalions.

This War Calls for A DID YOU

Plain-Clothes V. C.

THIS is an Everybody-in-the-Front-Line war.

It

calls for

some new thinking about rewards and medals. Up to the Crimenu and Boer Wars the matter was simple, An army went away to fight. As the War progressed, or afterwards, Innlivaian! acts of great courage and gallantry were recognised and rewarded. Some even earned the Victoria Cross

In the last war it became more complicated. Though it was by no means an "all-in" affair, civilians were called on for behind-the-scenes war work. They were rewarded with

civilian decorations.

Tu-day civilian war work brings many of the perils once re- served for the soldier, sui or, and airman. Police. fire- men, both regular and auxiliary, and A.R.P. workers are doing a front-line job.

Workers in such obvious targets as munitions factories know.

and are resolutely fneing, their special danger.

We can look forward to hearing, with national pride, of deeds of valour at home, of initiative against the enemy. of sacrifice for n neighbour, by plain Mr., Mrs. and Miss. Those deaths should be rewarded, and I am going to make a statement which I hope will not be considered unkind or unjust.

The O.B.E. will not do. Holders of the O.B.E. from the last war include a great many patriolic people who gave time and unstinted effort to help the men who did the real fighting.

But it must be stated that to the average person the 0.B.E. is associated with membership of a committee or post in an administration. It is not full-blooded.

To-day we have the need for a new order-a civilian Order of Courage. It should go to the men and women who knowingly brave death for their country, though not carrying their country's arms.

WHEN CIVIL SERVANTS

You see him stepping along

Whitehall, in his saber suit, his black hat, his un- changing air of neatness. çir- cumspection, and restraint.

You make a rough guess, and say to yourself: "A Civil Servant." You go your way quite unstirred.

But the man you have seen is the fatest link in a chain of dove, lopment which was already old nino centuries ago.

Before William the Conqueror swept

his

sharp-prowed gulleys ashore on Pevensey Bay a rudi- ̈mentory Civil Service existed here. In the 12th century' the Ex- chequer first and most important branch of the Service-was acliled quietly in the Palace of Westmins- tar.

With, doubtless, n sigh of relist, clerics dropped the

Forhaps you remember the storm which broke when it was proposed in the Civil to employ women Service? Well, there was a similar storm in the 14th century when laymen were introduced,

Before then the entire servico had been in the hands of the clergy

in the Church; but if he were a layman the King had to give him money or land!

ok

At this time the only payment made to Civil Servants was their, board and lodgings... but 50 many opportunities existed making a Uttle "on the side" that the appointments were customari- ly

sold to the highest bidder. Some will find curlbus semblance between the methods of the Exchequer in the 14th century and the methods of the Treasury to-day.

A speculative merchant would pay a solid lump sum to the King for the year's Customs re- ceipts on a particular article:- And there would be another Civil Ser- vant keeping a close record of how much he took, so that the pries could be put up the next year.

WONDER?

Why Baking Powder Makes Cakes Light

Baking powder may be con- sidered as

a chemical sub- stitute for yeast.

When yeast is used, the microscopic yeast plants cause fermentation in xturch and sugar solutions. One of the products of this fermentation is carbon dioxide or carbonic acid Kun. This Kas forms countless little bubbles in the dough making it swell up or "rise," and food baked from the dough is light and porous.

The use of baking powder Whiteaway, Laidlaw & Co., Ltd.

in place of yeast likewisą causes carbon dioxide to be formed, producing a similar the bread- porous quality in stuffs. The baking powder process, however, differs from the yeast process in that yeast works slowly, depending upon the growth of tiny microscopic plants and the resulting fer- muntation to make the gas, while baking powder produces the gas quickly as the result of chemical reaction between the ingredients in the powder. All baking powder contains bi- curbonute of soda (commonly known as baking soda), in addi- tion to the soda, which is an alkali, baking powder also contains an acid-forming ingredient. This may

Dough may also be made to rise without the use either of baking powder or of yeast, simply by using plain baking soda and gour milk. The sour milk contains lac- tic acid, the result of fermenta- tion, and this aeld resets with the alkalf to form the desired bubbles of carbon dioxide gas.
