"Tell Bannister I should like to see him," she said to the maid after retlrmg1 to her own private sittingâ€"room. "Yes, m‘lady." The man who, after a brilliant career as a professional footballer, had become Tiger Standish‘s Sancho Panza, Came into the room looking worried. Sonia knew why he had that expression; it was because he was anxious on her beâ€" half. She had had too much evidence in the past of how sincerely he was deâ€" voted not only to his master‘s interests, but to her own, to have any doubts on this point. “Yés, m‘lady," Benny said ,and waitâ€" ed for what he felt certain was comâ€" ifig.:*: "It‘s happened again, Benny", she reâ€" plied with a sigh; ‘"now don‘t pretend not to know what I meanâ€"Tiger is out for mischis?f once more.

"You mark my words, m‘lady, ‘e‘s gone to see that blighter, old Bellamy! That telegram last night must ‘ave come from ‘im." "I‘m pretty sure of that myself, Benâ€" ny: well, what is there to be done?" Bannister shook his head; he looked a thoroughly disconsolate man. When the call for action came, he was just as eager as his master to risk his life quixotically; but the distress he saw in his mistresse‘s face now made him feel that if Standish was in that room he‘d give him a piece of his mind whatever happened afterwards. e ”;‘â€"W_hel;e are 'they from, Matthews?" she asked the maid. "We can‘t do a thing, m‘lady," he admitted, answering the question; "best watch and wait, sort of." What reply his mistress would have made to this; piece of philosophy was nmnever uttered, for at that moment Matthews, the parlourâ€"maid, entered with a magnificent bouquet of orchids. * V‘-‘i- éxpecg they‘re from ‘im, m‘lady," said Benny Bannister sepulchrally; "e wants to make it up, like." Sonia‘s lips trembled. It was so like Tiger to send flowers after one of the very rare little upsets that they had, and this thoughtfulness now made her feel on the verge of tears. Her mistress smiled. Yes, these magnificent orchids had undoubtedly been sent her by Tiger. Bless him! But when she stopped over the bouâ€" quet, she found a strange card tied to one of the stalks. â€""govani‘s in Bond Street, m‘lady," was the answer.

In a voice that reflected his disgust, Bannister complied. "A slight tribute to a most charming lady.

Canberra, Australiaâ€"The Hon. R. G. Menzies, prime minister of Australia has announced that the commonâ€" wealth, whose artillery gained such fame in the First World War, is well under way to become a major air power. The number of aircraft available for the defence of the commonwealth will be multiplied seven times under the scheme. In terms of personnel, Ausâ€" tralian strength will be multiplied about 11 times. Prior to the war, the Royal Ausâ€" tralian Air Force had an expansion programme due for completion by June next, which provided for 19 air squadrons with a firstâ€"line strength of 212 aircraft and a total personnel of 5,542. But under the Empire scheme, serâ€" vice aircraft in Australia would be inâ€" creased to 1,454, including the 212 alâ€" ready provided for in the preâ€"war proâ€" gramme, roughly a sevenâ€"fold increase. Personnel to be recruited by March, 1943, total 57,473 of whom 30,473 will be pilots and air staff and 27,000 ground staff. Training Schools It would be necessary to form 36 training schoolg, comprising three iniâ€" tial ground training schools; 10 éleâ€" mentary flying training schools, eight service training schools, four air obâ€" servers‘ schools, four bombing and gunnery schools, four wireless air gunâ€" ners‘ schools, one wireless; operators‘ school and two air navigation schools. These schools would be formed at regular intervals until April, 1942, when the scheme would be in full operation. The government is establishing an engineering training school with aA capacity for 2,000 trainees. The United Kingdom government would provide 591 Avro Ansons, 336 Fairey Battles and 233 Wirraways, making a total of 1,160 aircraft, while the Australian government would proâ€" vide 82 Wirraways and 486 elementary training aircraft, a total of 568. This would provide the total of 1,728 reâ€" quired for the secheme. The whole of the Wirraways and the bulk of the elementary training airâ€" craft were to be manufactured in Ausâ€" tralia. The expenditure, which would involve several millions, would give a considerable impetus to the airéraft industry, which was already engaged in other production for the alr force, said Mr. Menzies. An extensive scheme would be necesâ€" sary for overhaul, repair and maintenâ€" ance, and for the local manufacture of spare parts, alrscrews, parachutes and other accessories. Recruiting Campaign The recruiting campaign is being directed by Sir Donald Cameron and an influential committee in each state. Ar commonwealthâ€"wide recruiting Orâ€" ganization is being established, includâ€" ing mobile recruiting sections _ for traversing country centres. The onbijective is to enlist the 28,500 The objective is to enlist 20,00U0 recruits required by June 30, 1941. All recruits who conform to the standâ€" ards will be enlisted and called up to commence training in accordance with the timetable laid down. Ample noâ€" tice will be given to quotas to enalble them to arrange their affairs and to help employers to adjust their staffs. __A;ustraiian personnel grouped, as far as pOS: practically usjeless to attempt to argue with him in the present mood, she had to make the aitempt.

This is due to ithe fact that physicians feel that these lpreparations cannot correct bad breath because there is some local or general |condmon present that must be removâ€" ed before bad breath can be cured. and just as long as the patient is using these preparations, he is apt to be satâ€" isfied and not seek the cause and have it removed. What many physicians fail to rememâ€" ber is that many of thes» sufferers with bad breath have consulted a physician or dentist, or both and obtained no relief. They can hardly be blamed then if they turn to these advertised remedies which remove the bad breath for a little while at least. As a matter of fact, while most cases of bad breath are caused by some mouth or nose condition, or some genâ€" eral® condition of the body, the cause often is not easily or readily found. While the search is being made there is no reason why preparations containâ€" ing thymiol, creasote, salicylic acid, benâ€" zoic acid, eucalyptis and other drug should not be used as a mouth wash or gargle. Most cases of bad breath are due to decayed teeth, infected gums and tonâ€" sils, and to the dry form of catarrh. There may be cavities or there may be little portions of food left on the teeth that should be removed by brushing or tinsing after meals. Causes of bad breath are 1. Diseases of the mouth and throat. 2. Diseases of the bronchial tubes and lungs. 3. Sysâ€" temic diseases and diseases due to poiâ€" sons in the system. 4. Disease of the digestive system. The large number of conditions that cause bad breath is outlined by Dr. Frederick C. Smith, editor of the Medâ€" ical World:â€" Diseases of mouth and throat are decayed teeth, pyorrhoea, cold sores, inâ€" fected tonsils, tuberculous and syphâ€" ilitic ulcerations. Mouth breathers with nasal polyps and blocked nostrils often have bad breath. Chronic putrid bronâ€" chitis and lung abscesses are other causes. qob t Wl Royal Air Force will be squadrons carâ€" marked for the infiltration of Ausâ€" tralian air crews, and RAAF. officers on exchange with the Royal Air Force will also be allotted to such squadrpns. Australia has undertaken to provide the flying personnel (pilots, and air gunners) who actually operatâ€" ed the aircraft. Air crews comprise 15 per cent. of the total strength of a fighter squadron, and 16 per cent. of a bomber or general reconnaissance squadron Efficient Types As to the efficiency of the typesi of aircraft, Mr. Menzies said it could be affirmed that in operations in the North Sea the Avroâ€"Anson had proved itself most effective as a general reconâ€" naissance aircraft against mod@ern types us>d by Germany and the Fairey Battle was a fast modern bomber capâ€" able of carrying a heavy bomb load. The great increase in Australian air defence strength, which <was; larger than that proposed by the governâ€" ment‘s advisers for defence against the probable scale of attack, should, in conjunction with the navy and army, render the commonwealth seâ€" cure against any serious attack. The sgpecial significance of the air arm as a means of defence was shown in the following quotation from the highest source of advice available to the government: "An invader must be confident of being able, on arrival, to operate air forces adequate to insure air superiority during the landing, and subsequently, to protest his expedition and its reinforcements and supplies on arrival at their destination, against action by the air forces of Australia. It is not considered possible to estabâ€" lish such air superiority with shipâ€" borne aircraft against adequate landâ€" based aircraft in so large a country as Australia."

Jasper‘s future was unknown to the foll back in Missouri when he was a little fellow. Today, though his name is familiar to thousands of travellers from all parts of the world, his past, his whole life, is a mystery. His name was Jasper. He was a clerk in charge of one of the Northâ€" West Company‘s posts in the Rockies. Beyond that, little is known about him. He may have been Hawes, or Howes.

It is unfortunate that Jasper Hawes did not keep a diary, for he knew such men as David <Thompson, who traded for furs, fought the Indians and explored the great northâ€"west. Thompson camped one winter on the Columbia Icefeld, the greatest icecap outside the Arctic Circle and one of the world‘s scenic wonders. _ He exâ€" plored at least two of the three bij rivers whose sources are in this 11 square miles of glaciers and snow. He traced the Columbia to its mouth in the Pacific and followed the Saskatâ€" chewan, which runs into Hudson Bay and the Atlantic.
