Arthur Hepburn, supposedly adj
vancing toward Hawaii from the
west. It is the battle" between
these fleets that will make the
test we have come so far to try.
THE huge ships are now turn
Il ing sharply this way and that.
Cruisers circle about us, and the
trim, audacious destroyerS dart
here and there, some circling in
one direction, some in another.
Often they cut so close to our
ship or to one another as to look
like a bunch of auto polo stunt
drivers. For more than an hour
this game of lodging submarines
keeps us as the fleet works out
toward the open sea.
Gradually the fleet straightens
out into the regular formation in
file. But there is no rest.
A bugle sounds sharply and
there is a cry of Shoot all four
planeSl" There is a rush of feet.
No excitement. Everybody seems
to know exactly what to do with
out further orders The slides of
the catapults are hastily creased.
A bell rings inside one of the
turretS and the great guns are
swung out of the way. Mechan-
les climb into the planes on the
catapultS, one on the quarter
deck, one atop the turret. A
sailor slides a powder-case five
inches in diameter into the cham
Der of the catapult.
Another sailor stands holding
a red flag, Pilot and observer
in leather helmet, goggles and
infatable life jacket climb into
the planes. The engines break
into a coughing clatter.
An officer, watch in hand, gives
a sharp command. Pilots and OBJ
servers put their heads back as
though expecting a hard, sharp
Jolt. The sailor with the red flag
drops it quickly, raises a green
one. Another pulls the firing
lever. There is a growl, a sharp
report. and the seaplane is hurtled
out over the side of the ship and
into the air.

YOU might think that the president of a large
medical organization would take some involved
technical subject for his annual address to his coll
leagues. Yet, when DR. Jonathan C. Meakins spoke
to the members of the Canadian Medical Association
as its president recently, his one big point was the
Importance of air to human life
And what is Of greater consequence to life than
oxygen? In breathing this precious constituent of
air is taken into the body and carbon dioxide is
given out. The oxygen is taken up from the lungs
by the blood and distributed to other tissues.
Our ancestors in earlier centuries compared life
to a flame and although they did not realize it, all
life is carried on by the burning of oxygen.
THE breath Of life is oxygen and in the individual
Il cells of the body, the substances coming from
foods and the oxygen brought to the cells by the
blood IS converted into the materials of life The
surfaces in the cells Of the lung an area Of
more than 100 square yards and the amount of
surface on the blood cells by which oxygen carried
is equivalent to 5000 square yards.
This knowledge Of the air required by man in
order to live is Of utmost Importance in relation to
many of our activities.
It is not necessary, when one descends far below
the surface of the earth into places sufficient
cir does not penetrate, to provide oxygen by pump
ing system The aviator who flies high above the sur
face Of the earth finds it necessary to carry an oxy-
gen tank and resprator if he is to live through the
experience
XXTHEN child is born in an asphyxiated condi-
w ton, doctors supply oxygen rapidly by means
Of a breathing apparatus, and they have learned
that small amount of carbon dioxide is necessary
TO act as stimulant to the breathing process.
The energy for the human body comes to it in
various ways. Plants transform the power Of sun
light and convert it into carbohydrates, fats and
protens. This material is taken up by the blood
from the bowel and carried to the individual cells
which can convert it into the energy used by the
human body in living
Man thus has both an external and internal
respiration In this way the breath Of life is given
to man. and by it he carries on the work Of the
ages.

On the first Sunday out from
Honolulu, the day was clear with
only a slight breeze. The sun at
noon stood almost directly over

hardy attempted sun baths; Off

against sunburn.
At 10 o'clock, despite the heat,
came church call. A canopy had
been swung from the gun turrets
to the starboard rail and seats
placed for both officers and men.

Great lines of hose are brought

cranes. They are going to try to
refuel two destroyers at one time,
one on either side of the ship.
The destroyerS approach at a
signal, coming up from astern.
The sea is calm, but the steady
swell makes such close approach
dangerous. The men at the rail
of the destroyer on my side of
the ship wear life belts and brace
themselves on handrailS as the
destroyer rolls.
A sharp report and line shoots
across the bow of the bobbing de-
stroyer. Lines are attached and
the two ships pulled side by side.
The hose is being lowered into the
destroyer's tanks when sudden
sea sends the ships crashing to-

DR.. Plaskctt who IS the director Of the Dominion

THE disk Of stars is rotating with an average

its distance from the center Of the galaxy.

heart. Last year the strident-

ardent enemy of the AAA. AS

ragged against a bill to extend
and strengthen its powers. Large
ly because of Mr.. Smiths oppo-
sition, the bill failed to pass.
But now Cotton Ed" has been
converted He is for the new AAA
amendments. Some of Senator
Smiths colleagues are inclined to
think his conversion is due to his
21-year-old son Farley, who is a
clerk III the Agriculture Depart
ment.
Cotton Ed now has five men,
bers of his family on the govern
