candles and flashlights. Two orderlies
ahead of them were taking an injured
man down the hall, and Brieg saw a
nurse at the door write something on a
pad. Beside her was a gray-haired
man with bandage around his head,
who seemed to be in charge. He
peered at Brieg.
who's that you've got?"
"lt's ere on is tag. sir" said the
Cockney. John Drayton, that's is
nyIne."

tor" said the sergeant. "He must have
been hit during the raid. He acts
more scared than really hurt"
The gray-haired surgeon looked at
Brieg. There was no suspicion in his
face, only weary kindness. Take
him to first-aid - they're using a
room down that hail."
"A YOUNG Army medico dressed the
cut on BRIGGS cheek, while girl in
auxiliary nurse corps uniform held
f1ashlight. Brieg saw the frightened
look the raid had left in the girls eyes.
If she only knew, he thought 1t was
something to laugh about, later.
The orderlies were talking to the
man they had brought in. Brieg
listened carefully. 1t was plain that
these were emergency workers. At
least twenty nurses and orderlies had
been trapped in the wreckage, he
learned, trying to get crippled pa
tients to the shelters. Almost all of
the resident staff had been killed when
one of the bombs made direct hit
on the main building.
A lucky hit, Brieg thought grimly.
With routine disrupted, it would be
easy to slip out when things quieted
down.
The electric lights flickered, went
out again. A moment later the tired
faced doctor came in. He looked at
Brieg.
Seems to be slight case of shock,
SIR" the Army medico reported.

FOR INSTANCE

CHINEsE medicine recognizes two
hundred different kinds of pulses,
nearly twenty-six of which denote
approaching death. During a dag
nosis, the pulse is taken by the physi-
clan in eleven different places and,
as each must be felt separately three
times, first with slight touch, then
with medium pressure and finally
quite firmly, the pulse examination
alone requires several hours.

On the ground that a cross town

power at lower rates.

 London, April lS.-For TO days, i5-year-ol0 Arthur RoSsiter lay face down in a hospital bed be- cause the incendiary bomb he had tried to extlnguish in the factory where he works had exploded and burned his neck, arms and back.
 But he was laughing and jok- ing the other day when they awarded him the Cornwell Medal, highest honor in the Scout movement. He was laugh Ing and joking in particular about how ineiStent he had been, during the first week of his con- flnement, that he was dead. He had learned from his Scout hand book that If burns cover one- third of the body, then you're surely dead. So he had kept in- sisting, and when nurses would argue he'd hand them the Scout handbook and say, Really, you know, this isn't me. See for your self"
 He lost the argument, of course, and when they pinned the Corn. well Medal to his pillow he could sit up ard shake hands, almost. BOY SCOUTS
 PROVE BRAVERY
 But Arthur Rossdter Is little dit- ferent from lot of other Scouts in England tocay. For when you read the official awards list which iS published periodically, you are struck by the large number of Boy Scouts, and former Scouts, whose bravery and devotion to wartime duty has been recognized.
 Beginning with 18-year- old troopleader Donald Louis Jones, the first civilian to receive the Order of the British Empire for ree:uing people trapped in 6 building at the risk of his own life, and going down to the last youngster of the 500,000 who are today members of the youth movement, all are deserving.
 For instance, during the most recent raid on Bristol, group of Scouts took over the emergency operation of first aid post. Now each night, they run it regularly from 5 in the afternoon until 8:l5 the next morning.
 Sometimes, too, the boys, when lull in patients occurs, do other things. They run out into the streets when incendiaries are pour ing down and help to extinguish them. They search for people bur. led in the basement of newly col- lapsed buildings and then they bring

 It's the same way in Swansea, Coventry, Plymouth, London, and all other cities which periodically receive e quota of German bombs. There arc, of the half million Boy Scouts in Britain, 53,O00 who wear the National Service badge which vouches for a special training and maturity which entities them to do front line war in civilian centers. But when a blitz does begin the whole 500,000, whether they wear the National Service Badge or not, are in there doing a good job.
