Signal System 0 Covers Britain Remotest Nooks an^jl Corners Of Kingdom Reached by Army Headquarters, LONDON.?Nerve center of Britain s home defense system is a signals station at army G. H. Q. somewhere in England. From it radiates a secret network that has been perfected since Dunkerque and w^iich extends to every nook and corner of the United Kingdom. Ry means of it the general staff could get irito immediate touch with almost any unit of the borne forces, cutting vQut ii need be the normal link with the various commands. A special correspondent of1 the London Times, who was allowed to visit the station, thus describes it: The underground labyrinth of G. | H. Q., with its mysterious galleries, red lights and general air of secrecy, is a little reminiscent of the control rooms of a Maginot fortress. The signals station is clearly one of its most vital parts for the link it must maintain between the opergI tions room and field formations^ So many means of communication htfve I been devised that the chances of all being pill qui ql action, I was assured, afe ftfnote. Tested in Air Raids. I Military communications to some extent use post office circuits from Which direct private lines are maintained by army specialists, many of whom were post office technicians of high skill. The usual means of transmitting and receiving messages is by teleprinter. Many of these machines, in direct communication with the commands, are installed in the teleprinter room, where an hourly check is made on a switchboard? more frequently in periods of heavy air raids?to insure that each line is working. Then the station has its own telephone exchange, controlled by woman operators from the post office, with more private lines to the comrfiands, the war rooms of the Cabinet, the admiralty and war office, the ministries, and so on. One section of the switchboard, labeled significantly "combined operations panel," is set apart for actual battle, and to this only a limited nurftber of officers of the general staff would haye access. Many lirie? bf? Reserved for the (pmmands of the Royal Air force. Every precaution is taken against the Gse of tne telephone for the transmission of false messages. Wireless in Reserve. Should the telephone system with 1 each of its alternative routes break down entirely', there' is a reserve system of wireless transmission. As a general rule all wireless messages from so far back are sent in cipher ? only forward formations * would use wireless en clair?and some of the most interesting moments of the correspondent's visit were spent in the cipher room, with all its cryptic devices. Here the idea was dispelled that the use of cipher necessarily involves dfelay, for an almost uncanny electrical machine exists by which messages may be enciphered or deciphered with the speed of ordinary transmitter. All the operator does is to put in a message en clair and it comes out in cipher ready for dispatch, and the same operation is carried out the other way round. Finally, if all else failed, there is a small army at dispatch riders at G. H. Q. who normally maintain a service of letter delivery; but a good deal would have to happen before ft came to that. Myites Novels Banned Am Harmful to Fascist! ROME.?Publication of mystery novel* will be strictly controlled in Italy, because they are "harmful to fascist youth." A decree issued by the ministry of popular Cufture said mystery books and magazines could not be published without a previous authorization from the ministry. Numerous mystery books have been ordered removed from circulation. Most mystery books sold in Italy are translations of the-works of American, British and French authors. v Ship Sunk, but Captain , Loses Only His Clothes LONDON.?The captain still stood on the bridge after a German air bomb hit his merchantman?but the blast stripped him down to only the waistband 'of bis trousers, the sleeves of his jacket and his socks. That was only the first bomb. The second, another direct hit, sank the vessel but the captain survived. The ministry of information said that except for the loss at clothing, and dignity, the captain Muttered only head cuts and br&Ise*. \ .

Dr. Isaac Starr of tha University of Pennsylvania recently told the National Academy of Sciences, meeting in Philadelphia, about an ingenious device: A balancing table, called the "ballistocardiograph." A bed-si*e table is suspended from the veiling on wires, three feet above the floor. While S patient lies quietly, the table oscillates back and forth to the throb of his heart. When his heart contracts it throws a load of blood forward toward his head. "For the same reason that a discharged gun kicks one in the shoulder," said Dr. Starr, "the recoil throws the body feetward." An instant later, when the blood strikes the aortic arch (curve in large Heart artery), "(the blood's) headward movement is arrested, creating an impact which 1 throws the body and the tabic headward." A normal man pumps about 14 quarts of blood a minute, moves the bed back and forth about 14 onethousandths of an inch withv every heartbeat. Connected to a powerful1 spring at the foot of the table is. a tiny mirror. The mirror amplifies this motion 8,000 times. The magnified motion is recorded on a moving photographic Aim. ^ Because the jelly-)ike tissues tremj ble for a brief instant after every "blow" from the heart, aftar-vihrar lions warp part of the record. Hence Dr. Stafe believes that his ' machine will never attain "highest I precision." Nevertheless it is good j enough to: (1) detect early, hitherto invisible cases of heart disease; (2) show the relation between high blood pressure and heart function; j (3) differentiate > between various types of heart disease. 4 * Heart Disease May Rest With the Adrenal Gland " A new clue to the bause of heart disease, found in thrfee of man's commonest hormones, was reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science-by Dps William Raab of the Univqysity of Vermont college oif medicine. This clue offers possibilities for learning how to prevent some of the serious heart disorders. . { Evidence that many people' with' bad hearts live to ripe old ages, contrary to common belief, was presented in another report made by Dr. Louis Faugeres Bishop, Bellevue hospital, New York city. ; He giles cases evgfl of the much dreaded coronary thrombosis living fpf many years and doing Useful work. The heart disease hormones are two from the adrenal glands and ona from the thyrok^ . .r The main ofren'der appears to be adrenalin, which ia commonly known as the energy hormone, the stuff that spreads quickly through the body in a fright. Along with the energy hormone is one from the cortex, or covering, of the adrenal glands, which seems to be present as a complica-% tioQ. The thyroid hormone enters as a sort of ringmaster, which occasionally eggs on the energy hormone to do its worst. ' Offloer! Officer! Police Robbed Santa Monica, Calif., police wore a tomato-red blush recently as they hunted $3,200 in cash missing from their safe at headquarters. Missing along with the greenbacks were checks and money orders with face values totaling between $2,400 and $2,600. ' * The negotiables belonged to a chain store, and had been left with the police for safekeeping one Saturday night in a sealed package. It is the police custom, Chief C< E. Webb said, to take care of week-end receipts for merchants until banks open Mondays. The missipg money.was handed to Capt. George Figueirdo - who looked it in a drawer of the police safe adjoining one- used to contain valuables belonging to prisoners. When a messenger called for the package at 8 a. m. the following Monday, Capt. Howard Brown and Sgt. Gene A. Randall were unabla to find it. Pumping Out Mines Pumping out mines?especially tin mines in Cornwall?was tha chief incentive that gave birth to the steam engine. First one was developed by Captain Savery in 1898. Extravagant use of fuel made it impractical. Next came Newcomen's engine, with cylinder and piston, in 1702. It was while repairing a mod? el of this engine that James Watt made Improvements that resulted in the modern steam engine. Watt's persistence infinally .discovering how the cylinder could be bored tc the tolerance of "a. worn farthing" x made steam power available foi driving all kinds of mechanism and brought in the factory system and the industrial revolution. * "* 4>r,?V~-. * ' Testing Pillows ' ?

Clinkscalds of Wofford College. He' passed away, just the other day, lull of years and full of the Joy of a richly spent life. During a spab\of eighty six years at least thirty years saw Prof. Clinkscales at the peak of a very^active life. Five days he spent In teaching ^mathematics in Wofford College and Saturday and Sunday found him soraevhere in South Carollna^peaklng to the people about the higher th4^a_^fjife. Hardly a community in thls^^tewas denied his genial fellowship and up, -fitting message. Thousands of young fellows from the farms heard him In Hie country school houses ond churches, and resolved to go to College; thousands of mothers and fathers heard him and planned and prayed that their boy might sit at the feet of the lovable man whose heart waimed in response to the need of the people. Many stories of Professor Clfnkficales will be told; I've heard a lot of them, but shall tell only what I know. I lived in Kershaw County ajjout'^a IfKyth. One night the big, hearty man ih WliOse home I boarded came to me and said "Professor John O. Clinkscales is to speak at our church to morrow and he will stay in my house. Won't you entertain him?" ~ Entertain "Clink" f, aa lie was affectionately called. You didn't have to entertain him; all you Had to do was to sit and listen. So I agreed, of course. Our host had a son at Wofford and Ihe father stood in some awe Of a College professor, while feeling greatly honored to have him as a guest. At ninethirty Saturday night the train rolled in and our host met the Professor ,;nd gave him a bag with about six cigars. At eleven-thirty it was apparent the cigar supply Was running low and our big open-handed host went to his store and got a box of cigars. Sunday was a gloomy, rainy day. We sat indoors all day, except for the time of ohurch service. And all day the Professor enJoyed those mild, mellow cigars, making such marked progress with them that my friend insisted that the box bo taken to Spartanburg. We never had seen anyone smoke so continuously and I've wondered whether the gentle and 0 lovable' old teacher had had many opportunities tc > smoke such choice Havanas without limit. _ y.i ***** *#f,oci*ted on other occastoni ' with Dr. Cllnkscales, but he seemed always to remember me In connection . with the Visit I have told about. t **e was a great gentleman, was Proi feasor CUnkscales, a modern apostl< ! of education, with a surpassing gen| Ions for the personal touch.

Other na J tlons adopted the idea, notably Brltali . And America. Our Peruvian fefead of the Pacific, there Btands a monument dedicated to El Soldado Doscouocido. About the time of the unveiling of '-this monument, that became the most talked of topic on the streets. While it was fresh in the minds of the people a monument was unveiled in one of the_ streets of Lima, dedicated to a prominent official who had recently died. v Two Indians looked at in passing and one asked? Qulen? (Who is he?). The other probably confusing the tfibue to the unknown soldlei^wlth the fact that this new monument was not in memory of a soldier, replied "Un politico desconocldo", that is to say "To thfe Unknown Politician." We Americans have had the pleasure of having the Prime Minister of Great Britain in this county several weeks. We are in the midst of the making of history and in Mr. Churchill we see a figure of heroic size who will take place with the greatest of England's sons. Not since William the Conqueror Invaded England in 1066 has the danger to the British been so grave and immediate as it was in the gloomy days ?when Churchill took cluurge; and that peril is still present., Britain has built monuments for services much less illustrious than that already rendered by Mr. Churchhill. ChurchhlU's renowned ancestor, the brilliant Duke vof Marlborough, never deserved so much of the Island Empire as does this man who seems to blend within himself all the gtfts and the greatness of Britain. Never were the newspapers more needed than now, but there is danger of such loss of national ahvertsing as may deprive them of considerable revenue. Newspapers perform so many services that they are as much^ a part of ' a well regulated home as the furnl-j ture, including the kitchen range, with all the pots and pans. We cannot do without our papers; they are very vital in any consideration of national defense. Let's pay up our subscriptions and even pay ahead if we can. Legislators, may you have a satisfactory session.- Many of you are serving the State at a loss; let's make the session short and snappy. Here's, wishing yon well. | Great men stand out like landmarks of a nation.

Ings with prayer. Perhaps It has become a mere perfunctory rite, but there was nothing perfunctory about the prayers of .the early Settlers, when Indian arrows stuck In the timbers Of 7 their homes; there was no mere ritual In the prayer of George Washington in the snow at Valley Forge; no empty words characterised the petition of Stonewall Jackson as he fell on bis knees before battle; nor was there any sham when Qeneral Lee asked the blessing of the Almighty on his troops and then strove to keep them from acts of vandalism which he could not ask God to bless. - - Jehovah might remind us of being the God of Robert B.
