RADIO REPAIR S The following is from "Hospital Topics," a journal dealing with health and kindred matters:â€" "Add to the new aches and pains that war is bringing, the "Blackout Headâ€" ache,."

Month ago, in a dark hour of the history of the British Empire, His Majesty the King put ints words the thought that should be in the minds and hearts of all in these days of test and trial. In each issue of The Advance since the King spoke them these words ‘have been printed as an inspiration and an incentive to all. The Advance has suggested that the words of the King should be kept in sight when reading the newsâ€"whether the news be good or illâ€"and that the motto might well be posted up near the radio. With ;these words in mind, the people will ‘not go far astray.

Twelve months ago these men were 'cbecure London workers; earning about £5 a week. The war made them busy. !wa the German invasion of Holland has made them the kingâ€"pins of the world diamond industry. Americans who want diamonds no longer go to ,Antrwerp or Rotterdam. They come to London. You could, of course, make it red hot, as the blacksmith treats horseâ€" shoes, till it becomes soft enough to cut and shape. But to do that destroys the temper of the steel (for steel is like sugar and like diamonds, it conâ€" sists of masses of crystals). So it is that in grimy, sootâ€"andâ€"oilâ€" smeared workshops you will find jewels worth far more than those decorating a duchess‘ tiara. A few years ago the diamond industry was worried. There were thousands of poor quality diamonds accumulating in the vaults of Hatton Garden and Antâ€" werp â€" diamonds yellow, green, pink, red, but not good enough to put in jewels, though as hard as any. What can you get harder than steel? For tlys war of the machine there is only one answerâ€"diamonds. Nothing else will do. can the lives they lived prior to their unexpected elopement. And so Miss Young continues to stave off the marital proposals of Reginald Gardiner, the Britishâ€"lborn comedian who is currently seen as her publisher. Gardiner‘s the guy who got her into the marital mess; he‘s also the guy who insists that she remain in it for the sake of her reputation as an author, even while he does his best to extricate her from it. Anrd so Milland, between his public eppearances as Miss Young‘s husbhand, continues in love with his fiancee, Gail Patrick, who also complicates his life. And through ‘"The Doctoer Takes a Wife" wanders Edmund Gwenn, who portrays Milland‘s father, beaming happily at the sight of his son‘s lovely "wife," delightfully unaware that his paternal blessings are deciedly undeâ€" sired by either the doctor or his "wife." To make a gun you need the very hardest steel possible. You pour the molten metal into a great mould and get your gun barrel. But it is ‘still rough, and for a gun to be accurate, it must be true to the tenâ€"thousandth of an inch. But not only rich people, seeking the saifest investment. want diamonds. War industry needs them even mbre. The steel has to be smoothed and cut. But this steel is so tremendously .tough, it is a puzzle to find anything tougher to cut it with. Aelxander Hall directed the comedy, which rates raves not alone for its inâ€" genious complications and scintillant dialcgue but for the thoroughly enjoyâ€" a‘ble performances of its cast, with especial applause going to the new Loretta Young. George Seaton and Ken Englund penned the screenplay from Aleen Leslie‘s original story.

The diaâ€" . mor«i cutter takes a stone and exâ€" amines it carefully. Sometimes it has to be cut to a sharp point, sometimes to a sharp e««ige. Well, not cutâ€"you eannot cut diamond. You have to split it, between the layers of crystal. For once they were disappointed. The world‘s diamond ou.put is largely econtrolled by the Diamond Corporation a predominantly British concern. And weeks before the German invasion, most cf the diamonds had been quietly moved out of Holland. But one result of the invasion has been the price of diamonds has rocketed up by 50 per cent. Most of the dealers managed to esâ€" cape in time. At one port in Southâ€" east England, a little old hunchback, frail and ragged, stood among the stream of refugees in the customs shed. "aiything to declare?" asked the Cusâ€" toms officer casually, and assuming the answer to be no, passed on. But the little hunchback stopped him, and whispered. They went to a private room. The hunchback unâ€" dressed and showed that his "hump" was made of leather. Inside was a store of diamonds. You see, when the Nazis began perâ€" secuting Jews and fornbade people to take meney out of the country, people who wanted escape, naturally thought of buying up diamonds because they are so easy to smuggle. German women, suffering the hardâ€" ships of a Nazi regime, were only too During the last war Germany was so short â€"of diamonds for war purposes that women were made to give up their rings so that the precious stones could be used in arms work. Nowadays, far, far more diamonds are needed. But German women haven‘t got them. And the beauty of it is that diaâ€" monds never wear out, and normally never need sharpening. A circular saw with diamond teeth can cost $16,â€" 000, but saws in use toâ€"day will still be good in a thousand years. Diamond dust is used for emery paper (except that instead of paper or cloth the dust is cemented on wheels). When the Nazi Fifth Column swocpâ€" ed on Rotterdam, among the first places they made for were the vaults of the diamond merchants, for Germany is short of diamonds. A special tool â€"with a piamond point! this Then the "cut" diamond is fixed on the point of a drill, to bore hcoles in steel; or it is used as the blade of a tiny chisel to take shavings off steel as an ordinary chisel shaves wood on a lathe. Diamonds are used for the teeth of circular saws, to cut through anything else on earth. # # ) ® “.00. # «# #4 ‘00.“.“. ## #4 # a* a* Ad # .. #4 ® # # # “..Q‘ ## w t @# # # #* #4#4 # # ® . * ..“. uscless for jewellery 282 18 1%, 10. 10. ce Lh ce ce ®# L * . ,.® 29.

It is due to diamonds (of the indusâ€" trial variety) that the hundreds of complicated parts that go to make up an ‘reroplane engine are made so a«¢â€" curate that they seldom, if ever, go wrong. For, apart from their many and varied industrial uses, diamends play an enormous part in the production of aeroplane engines.
