HAVE YOU TRIED The NEW CUTEX?

Try the new Cutex Nail Polish. There is a treat in store for you- because it wears longer with none of that unsightly cracking and peeling that detracts from your grooming. Choose Cutex Cameo or Cedarwood and put it to a practical test. You will be re- warded by days of lustrous wear Cutex contains no acetone, it will not cause splitting brittle nails.

Hundreds of British boys who have not yet reached the age of twenty, and who are therefore not liable for military service, have shown their keen ness to assist in the Empire's fight by volunteering for home defence and are undergoing instruction at Aldershot and elsewhere. To meet this demand young soldiers' companies have been specially formed in association with most existing regiments. These young soldiers of the future are between the ages of 18 and 20 and they invariably show remarkable promise, from both a mili- tary and a physical standpoint. Many of them are Public School boys waiting for the time when they will be able to enter an Officers' Cadet Training Unit. Picture No. (1) shows a squad of youths at rifle practice, and in Pics ture No. (2) are seen volunteers checking the aim of their opposite numbers by looking through bayonet rings.

"The youngsters are as keen as mustard," said an officer who has a large. number under his care. "They are given training very similar to their older comrades in the Service units, and greit care is also taken to improve their bodily strength by means of appropriate physical training and good food." Their mental alertness is stimulated by foot drill, rifle exercises and lectures on various subjects. Interesting talks are given on regimental his tory, personal hygiene, the value and object of discipline and many other mat- tora. It is a strenuous life but a happy one, and Picture No. (3) and Picture No. (4) give a good idea of the physical fitness of these young volunteers. The

beneficial effects of the training become noticeable a few days after the boys have started their military service.

Reveille ls at 6.30 a.m., and after a hearty breakfast, the young: soldiers fall in on the Parade Ground for instruction from men who have already been fighting in the present war.

The Army offers many opportunities for the boy who decides to make it his career. He may, if he wishes, enter upon the technical and scientific side of milltary life. The up-to-date equipment and appliances continually being introduced into the Army need an ever-increasing number of men skilled in the essential trades, and it is these men that the authorities like to enlist and train young.

There are many Army Technical Schools where highly skilled instruc tors are at work teaching those who have elected to join the Royal Engineers, the Royal Army Service Corps, the Royal Corps of Signals, the Royal Artil lery, and the Royal Army Ordnance Corps. Side by side with the technical instruction go ordinary military training, facilities for sport and, in the early years, religious instruction. The boys are given opportunities to sit for vari- ous educational certificates necessary for promotion to the different ranks. It is open to any boy who is ambitious and keen to obtain a commission in the British Army.
