To make the hunting easy for the monarch, his servants had a little custom of putting wild animals in cages, and letting them out at the right moment! One servant acted as driver of the chariot, leaving the king's hands free to hold the spear, or bow and arrows, which he used in hunting. When the wild animal was set free, the king wrould hurl a spear, or would shoot one or more arrows. Sometimes a lion, which had been le out of a cage, became very dangerous when it was wounded. There were men near the king's chariot, however, to guard him against attack. In case of need, they would use spears or bows and arrows to save their master from harm.

Chariots also found a place in ancient parades or processions. Roman generals were fond of riding in chariots through the streets of Rome after they came back from victories in foreign lands. Chariots were employed on many battlefields during ancient times. The Persians had chariots with knives or scythes which jutted out from the axles. The idea was to cut down soldiers when a chariot was driven through the ranks of the enemy.

December 3 (C.P.- Reuter) The threat of a general strike in Germany's railway system has Increased to such an ex tent during the last few weeks that the German high command has begun a large scale "purge" of political suspects in the ranks of German railway workers.

According to evidence leaking out, railwaymen are the most fear ed of Himmler's hidden enemies on the home front. Railway drivers, guards and sig-almen are sent on what is known as suicide missions, to the front line zones, it is learned. These men are forced to work incredibly long hours, and find themselves subjected to ever increasing air attacks in the Ruhr and Rhineland where the underground revolt flares up. MASQUERS ON LONG TRIP Entertain Army Personnel at Mont Joli, Eimouski Eaton's Montreal Masquers Friday night boarded the 7.30 train for Mont Joli to entertain the R.C.A.F. personnel there Saturday night.

The troupe then proceeded from Mont Joli to Rimouski, to give a show for the Army on Sunday afternoon. This will be the Masquers' fourth trip, and tenth show, in this district since October, 1942. The Masquers travelled by special sleeper and had their own baggage car, to transport all the stage equipment, lighting, public address system and wardrobe, being fully equipped to set up their own stage and lighting, upon arrival. Upon the completion of this trip, the Masquers will have given their 269th performance, and will mark the end of an extremely busy season with their appearance the big Christmas Party of the children of Active Service Personnel at the Forum, to be held on- December 19 and 20. A great deal of preparation is going into the entertainment, the Masquers have lined up for this party, it is reported, their dances and songs being designed to appeal to a youthful audience.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS SUPPRESSION OF SWEAT Daughter uses (preparation that deodorizes and suppresses sweat) which stops underarm sweating entirely. Since she doesn't sweat much from other surfaces I wonder if this is injurious to her health. (MRS. V. H.

Answer It is harmless. INDIGESTION I enclose a dime and stamped re-addressed envelope for your ooklet. So You Have Indigestion? this time I wrap the dime in paper. Once before I sent for this booklet but never received it. I wonder why you insist on a loose dime.

UI.R.) Answer I don't. It is all right to wrap the coin in a piece of paper or put it in a small envelope. It is not right to u.se mucilage, gum, glue, adhes.ve goo. staples, tape, cloth, rivets, needle and thread, pins, and similar annoyances fcr the purpose. No one would offer a prst -office clerk a coin in that condition.

HI SKINNY! I am 22. weigh only 03 pounds ana can seem to put on any weight, and I have acne. Doctor looked at my teeth, found I have no wisdom teeth, said if the dentist could find the buried wisdom teeth and take them out I'd gain wcipht and Ret rid oi my acne. (Miss T. E.

Answer Sounds far-fetched. But first get the opinion and advice of the dentist or rather the advice the doctor and dentist offer after they have consulted together. Meanwhile send envelope bearing your address and ask for pamphlet, How to Gain Weight. Enclose 10 cents if you would lie also a pamphlet on Acne-uiacKneaas and Pimples, IMPORTANCE NOTICE Henceforth all letters for Dr. Brady should be addressed directly to him as above.

As it was, he was up against a hair-trigger doubler in the West position, who sensed that the spade bid was ph'oney, and who did not have to extend himself to double the so-called rescue. West opened the heart seven.

East took the 10 with the queen and promptly shifted to the jack of sjpades. Declarer covered; as did West, and the spade ace won. Now, hoping for a club trick, declarer led the king from dummy. East won and sent back another spade. West collected two tricks in the suit, then led his last heart.

East won and gave West a heart ruff. Now realizing that the side suit tricks hrd been cleaned up and that nothing could be lost by giving declarer the chance for a ruff and discard, West shrewdly led the thirteenth spade. The unkindest cut of all was when West ruffed this with the ace of trumps, since West still had to be given his three remaining trump tricks. Thus South haved the game, but at the rather prohibitive cost of 900 points. Write your bridge troubles and problems to Ely CulborUon, care of The Gazette.

Uncle Hay's Corner Chariots Were Used by Ancient Kings on Hunting Trips It has been a long time since I have seen a chariot race, but I remember watching a few of them during my boyhood. Chariots went out of fashion many hundreds of years ago, so you may wonder how I could have seen a race of that kind.

The answer is that I saw chariot races at a circus while I was a boy. Whether the events took place at Ringling Brothers or Barnum and ANCIENT EGYPT ANCIENT PERSIA Bailey's, I am not sure. Those circuses later were combined. It was interesting to see chariot races under the big tent, but I had little knowledge of the history of the chariot. I did not know, for example, thai chariots had been used for any purpose except races and war.

A chariot may be described as a two-wheeled cart, drawn by horses CLIPPING THE HAIR TO SAVE IT.

Those who, accepted that challenge left legacies of knowledge, hope and courage. Through their keen, searchiogeyes the sinister, squirming syphilis germ was first exposed. From their countless experiments came and the blood test.

From determined lips came words which helped tear away the shroud of prudery. Today, others have taken up the challenge. Science has made priceless discoveries which rob Venereal Disease of much of its terror. Health Departments are waging aggressive war on syphilis and gonorrhoea. Physicians and nurses are alert.

Leadership is strong on the HEALTH Sector. It must be equally strong on the other three WELFARE LEGAL MORAL. To welfare leaders, squalor, neglect and insecurity are challenges to be met to be overcome, if the roots of Venereal Disease arc to be destroyed. On the legal sector, aggressive leadership by law enforcement officials, the legal profession and civic authorities can turn the tide of battle against a vicious enemy of mankind. By permanently closing houses of prostitution and cleaning up undesirable places which facilitate the meeting of healthy and infected young people, Venereal Disease will be sharply reduced.

The continuing threat of Venereal Disease is a tremendous challenge to church and home. The moral sector can reduce V.D. IF the moral fibre of the nation is strengthened IF individual character is fortified IF the sanctity of marriage is upheld IF, above all, the moral wisdom of the ages is applied in the practical, daily issues of personal, community and national life in Canada, Whether your leadership is in a family group, a club or a community, you have an opportunity to serve. Learn the facts about Venereal Disease and its control. Inform others.
