France Demonstrates Undersea Fighting Technique
Accent is on undersea fighting in the present European conflict, and France, with some of the world’s
finest submarines, is prepared for whatever may come. Here is a graphic idea of the fighting technique of an
undersea warship. Upper left: Brains of the submarine is the man at the periscope. He navigates her into
firing position. Upper right: Here’s what the navigator sees. The periscope’s crossed lines spot the target, the
“ladder” gives him the range. Lower left: The torpedo crew slides one of the deadly “fish” into its tube.
Lower right: The torpedo is in place and all is set for the order to “fire!”
War in Europe Influences American Christmas Toys
The influence of war was distinctly noticeable in the preview of American Christmas toys held in New
York recently. In addition to guns, tanks and planes, there were toy ambulances and other first aid equip
ment. A little war nurse in toy uniform inspects her battlefield casualty—a doll. A young soldier has the
time of his life with front line equipment.
Igloo Dwellers Go Modern—in New York
The Mayokoks, only full-blooded Eskimo family in the United States,
were saved from a dangerous 7,000-mile journey to blizzard-swept Cape
Prince of Wales, Alaska, when the husband found a new job. During
the closed season Mayokok will serve as caretaker of the World’s fair
carrier igloo in New York.
Battlefront Headgear Stresses Safety
With camouflaging weeds fastened on their steel helmets to fool
| enemy airmen, three Tommies of the East Surrey British regiment pause
to light their cigarettes. Natural and artificial camouflages have been
developed to a high degree by both sides of the present conflict.
Just in Case—
The United States coast guard at
Miami, Fla., takes no chances.
When foreign submarines were re
ported to have been sighted in
Florida waters, coast guard officials
painted a large American flag on the
underside of the wing for identifica
tion purposes.
‘Fixed’ Fighter
Harry Thomas, Eagle Bend,
Minn., heavyweight fighter, started
a boxing war recently when be an
nounced his fights with Max Schmel
ing and Tony Galento were “fixed.”
Investigation was opened when
Thomas declared he was paid "big
money” to lose the fights.
As Captive Poles Labor in German Prison Camps
Polish soldiers who became prisoners of war when the Nasi blitzkrieg subdued their country are shown at
work in a prison camp "somewhere in Germany.” Many of them are at work constructing buildings to
house prisoners, others labor with pick and shovel, thus releasing more manpower for German military duty.
Ashes of Japanese Soldiers Home for Last Rites
Japanese priests are shown receiving the remains of hundreds of soldiers who died fighting in China or
on the Mongolian border. It is a familiar sight at railway stations throughout Japan as the ashes of the
country’s soldiers come home in small white boxes. To the surprise of many, army officials announced that
18,000 Japanese casualties had resulted in the few weeks of fighting with Soviet troops along the Manchukuo
Outer Mongolia border before a truce was declared.
British Tar Comforts U-Boat Victims j
A British tar comforts two pickaninnies who were rescued from the |
French vessel Bretagne, sunk by an enemy submarine. The Negro chil
dren, with other passengers, were taken to an undisclosed English port.
California Fliers Set Endurance Mark
Up in the air about the whole thing were Wes Carroll, left, and Clyde
Schlieper, fliers who established a new world's endurance record in Cali
fornia. The lads remained in the air for 726 hours (30 days and six
hours) in their pontoon-equipped light plane. The previous record was
653 hours and 33 minutes.
Brawlers, Keep Out!
Determined to preserve her neu
trality, Sweden keeps a constant
vigil on her territorial waters. Here
is a 25 mm. anti-aircraft gun mount
ed on a Swedish submarine cruising
in coastal waters. And the gunners
are ready for action.

No—the picture isn’t upside-down.
This pilot is merely testing a new
airplane safety belt at Wright field,
Dayton, Ohio. The belt is protection
against crash landings.

r Isn’t This Why ^
You Are Constipated?
I What do you eat for breakfast?
Coffee, toast, maybe some eggs?
What do you eat for lunch and
dinner? White bread, meat, pota- j
toes? It's little wonder you're con
stipated. You probably don't eat
enough “bulk.” And “bulk”
doesn't mean the amount you
eat. It's a kind of food that forms
a soft “bulky" mass in the Intes
tines and helps a movement. If
this is your trouble, may we sug
gest a crunchy toasted cereal—
Kellogg’s All-Bran—for breakfast.
All-Bran is a natural food, not a
medicine —but it’s particularly
rich in "bulk." Being so, it can
help you not only to get regular
but to keep regular. You won’t
have to endure constipation, you
can avoid it. Eat All-Bran daily,
drink plenty of water, and life
will be brighter for you! Made by
^Kellogg’s in Battle Creek. ^
