(he scheme for protecting vital industries is an elaborate system of Aimmv factories to mislead Nazi bombers. These plants are duplicat ed even to position, color and mark ings. Old cars are towed to the yard of the fake plants to simulate work ers' autos. Some industrial centers even use mat smudge pots, emitting huge blows of black smoke completely blanketing an area. Industry has been completely dis persed into hundreds of small plants in Britain, each making separate parts for the war machine. Duplicate Dupli-cate plants are ready to take over production of vital products. The American observers declared that the famed balloon barrage has been highly developed and forces raiders to fly at great heights. Long steel cables dangling from the balloons bal-loons are death traps for planes. British confidence in their defense ii reflected in the big drop in the number who go to bomb shelters. Fifty per cent of Londoners stayed in the shelters during the blitz attacks last fall, but only 5 per cent wenfc to public shelters in January and about 20 per cent to private and communal com-munal shelters.

THE PAPERS OF PRIVATE PURKEY Dear Ma: I wish you wud stop worrying about me as I am all right accept for fallen arches, flu, chilblains, a limp In both legs and Indigestion. But I feel a lot less like squawking since I talked to an old timer up here who was in the last war and from what be says I gess we have all modern improvements up here now. He says in the last war the draft army just had tents like they wuz camping out with no wooden floors and no electric lights and he says every time you was not in bed you was standing in wet grass or in a mud puddle. He says tents did not have windows win-dows and screen doors like we have today and that in rainy weather a soldier had to live like a mud turtle. He says he didn't see no wooden floors from the time he , left home until the army got bacli from France. It is hard for me to beleeve this as this camp is a regular building project and there is almost as many carpenters carpen-ters here as soldiers. They shood have all the buildings finished by the time the war is over, If they get good weather and don't walk so tar for nails. Army life is a big disserpolntment to me ma on account I always had an idea from the story books and pictures that most soldiers had sad dle horses to ride. I ain't seen no horse since I got here. It is strictly a bunion derby army as I sed be- four. I wish army uniforms fitted hptter. .What the army needs is more tailors. I got a hat that is hi3 enoueh for a coat and a coat so tight I cud use it for a hat There is no glammer here like to the movies of army life. Almost everybody here needs a shave and haircut and this goes for the gen erals who are homely old pelicans and don't look nothing like the generals gen-erals in pictures accept Wally Berry. The boys here tell me the training I am getting is good for me but do not feel no better than wnen started training even if I am in better bet-ter shape like the doctors say. I wud rather be out of condishun In private life than a perfect spesser- $200 Every Minute The Insurance companies in America Amer-ica pay out every passing minute $200 for fires and theft. Roentgen Ray X-ray is the most familiar name but it is known also by Roentgen ray, named after the man who discovered dis-covered the ray, Professor Roentgen. Chinese Language Not Changed The Chinese language is the same As it was 2,000 years ago, according to Dr. Yen Chao of Yale univer sity, who so informed the Linguistic Society of America, recently in rrovidenee, R. I. "The Chinese are using almost the same system of characters as was used 2,000 years ago, while English is an evolving language adapting itself to new terms and conditions," he said. Peculiar Fetish Charles II. Hoyt, noted play wright, had a peculiar fetish that the title of each of his plays must and did begin with the letter "A." He is the author of a score of plays that were very popular, among them "A Night in Chinatown," "A Texas Steer," "A Black Sheep." All his plays were hilarious comedies and many of them made reputations for now widely known actors. Shortage of Eggs Japan has the greatest shortage of eggs ever known there, and the average citizen has not been able to obtain an egg for some time. Electro-Magnet The essential value of the electro magnet is in the fact that its magnetic mag-netic power can be switched on and off, and the action can thus be controlled. Amen Widely Used Word "Amen"' is one of the most widely used words in the world, being1 em-j ployed by 1,000,000,000 Christians, Jews and Mohammedans. Supreme Court The first session of the Supreme Court of the United States was held in New York city February 1, 1799. GREEKS ARE AIDED Anything can happen In the tempestuous tem-pestuous Balkans, but it seems certain cer-tain that Roosevelt diplomacy and the lease-lend bill were responsible tor delaying the Nazi attack on Greece for at least 10 days. The big thing which the lend-lease bill did for the British was to per mit tanks, anti-tank guns, and anti aircraft guns to be landed at Saloni ka immediately. The British had only limited supplies of these, and had to keep some in reserve for use around Suez and other vital Medi terranean areas. However, with passage of the lend-lease bill, they knew they could jet reserves later from the United States, therefore threw all their present reserves onto the Greek front This type of munitions is what the Jugoslav armv and the Turks have especially needed. They have plenty w rifles, machine guns and a reasonable rea-sonable amount of artillery; but few anti-tank or anti-aircraft guns tc top the advance of modern mech nized forces. Note The Balkans has been getting get-ting its American news chiefly from the official German DNB news agency, agen-cy, which had played up all the Wheeler-Nye speeches, gave the impression im-pression that the United States was gainst Roosevelt and that the bill could not pass. Final passage, however, how-ever, could not be suppressed in the ews dispatches and had a tremendous tremen-dous effect upon Balkan public opinion, opin-ion, which recalled how American entrance into the last war had ed the tables.

Ills Causing Blood Pressure Gila Monster There are instances on record that the Gila monster is a poisonous rep tile, but the Encyclopedia Americana Ameri-cana explains that there is a conflict of scientific authority on this point. Pacific Ocean Ferdinand Magellan, after round-In round-In the straits now bearing his name, was impressed by the calm ness of the water, and named it the Pacific ocean. There is no cure for high blood i. i T J pressure, according xo ur, iavm Rytand of Stanford university, California. Cali-fornia. "The reason," he says, "is because high blood pressure is not a disease, but a symptom produced by many different diseases. High blood pressure, like fever, is only a sign of disease. Until a few dec ades ago, fever itself was consid ered a disease, and scientists hunt ed in vain for a 'fever cure. Now they cure fever by treating the pneu monia, or whatever infection is re sponsible for the fever."
