more specialized skill. Some of the
faults may be easily located, while
others may pass unnoticed unless
the man seeking them is familiar
with heating systems.
Sometimes the Check Damper
is in the wrong place; or the Turn
Damper handle may have slipped,
giving false position of the
damper; or the regulator may be
improperly adjusted; or there may
be an excessive amount of fly ash
in the smoke-pipe or on the boiler
surfaces; or the radiators may be
improperly pitched; or the draft

bolt, or rusty joint may be the
cause of wasted heat. All of these

The arctic tern is small-bodied,
wide-winged, swallow-tailed bird. He
closely resembles the common tern
familiar to everyone who has seen the
sea. His bill is carmine. His red legs
are held back against his body to
streamline his flight. In his summer
plumage his under feathers vary from
silver gray to pure white. He wears a
black cap on his head, fringed with a
thread of white near the bill. His back
is silver-gray.
One might think that the arctic
tern has a restless urge for daylight.
For eight months he never sees the
dark of night, and for four of these
months he never sees the setting sun.
He might be said to pursue the sun,
this pre-eminent globe-trotter, who
views each year more daylight and a
larger part of our globe than any
other living creature.

He's the arctic tern, a
pole-to-pole commuter

p WAS thrilled one summer morn
ing when an ornithologist friend
L of mine pointed out to me the
worlds greatest traveller, a bird whose
tireless pinions carry it almost from
pole to pole, and back again, every
twelve months.
In all nature there is nothing that
so challenges the imagination as the
migration of the arctic tern; nothing
that explains the strange, living chem
istry which drives this migrant on his
twenty-thousand-m round trip with
the changing seasons.
The arctic tern nests as far north
as land extends and from thence south
to the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, and
even as far south as Maine and Massa-
chusetts.
When the babies wings are stout
ened. parent birds and their two or
three young begin their long trek
south, flying 1000 miles a week for
ten weeks.
For years the migration pathway
was shrouded in mystery. Great flocks
left the north polar regions, and sew
enty days later were reported in the
antarctic seas. Even now, records
from banded birds are so sparse that
we can make no positive statements.

What's all this
talk you hear about
.JESTS?

JEsTs not only bring fast relief -
they also give longer relief! A
special added ingredient, in effect,
"sponges up" the excess acid as
it forms in the stomach, thus help
ing to avoid 4 return of distress.
You Can Take JESTS
wib Confidence!
Made to the formula of an emf
nent pharmacologist, JEsTs reflect
the latest scientific thought in the
antacid field. The effective ingredi-
ents of JEsTs are actually pre-
scribed by many doctors in their
treatment of gastric hyPeracidity.
JEsTs contain no bicarbonate of
soda or other raw alkalis to oper-
alkalize the stomach. They are
not constipating - not laxative.
And they will moi form d ba6H!
No matter what you may be using
now, give JEsTs a trial. We think
you'll like them better than any
thing you've ever used for the pur-
pose. JEsTS, INC, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Ry NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.


A barrage balloon training center
is being established at Camp Davis
N. c., for an initial class of &C
officers and $50 enlisted men. 1t Is
the first step in expanding this
phase of defense. the War Depart
ment announced today.
Barrage balloon defense, hereto
fore a function Of the Air Corps
has now been made responsibility
of the Coast Artillery Corps.
The new training center at Camp
Davis will be placed under the direc-
ton of Col Robert Arthur, until
recently in charge of the historical
section of the Army War College
This phase Of training is entirely
new in the Army and the War De-
partment said the harrage balloon
lists will be taught to work in close
cooperation with the air forces.

301st Battalion Included.

tive list of Camp Davis about June |

TALON. At least so per cent OF the
present personnel of the 1st and I'd
Balloon Squadrons also will be add
ed eventually.
The plans call for general ex-
pansion of the force during the next
year. it was said. although the num-
Der of new balloon battalions that
will be needed has not been decided.
The most probable use of the new
defense measure will be in protecting
vital installations. fleet anchorages
and facilities where 1t Is difficult
for defending planes to intercept
enemy aircraft. The War Depart
ment announced the new barrage
balloons are designed to act as de-
terrent to dive bombers and to force
attacking planes to fly at high alti-
tudes, thus decreasing their effec-
tiveness as bombers.
Much Silk Ordered.
Army air observers who have re-
turned from battle fronts in Eng
land have assisted in the prelimi-
nary studies made by the Air Corps
and this arm of the service Is still
charged with the development and
procurement OF balloon equipment.
While production figures are not
given the Air Corps has ordered
great quantities of balloon silk and
other equipment from numerous
factories.
The basic tactical unit at the new
school will be q battalion consisting
of headquarters battery and three
or more batteries to be operating
units. The battalion is designed to
be employed when it is desired to

with various fabrics show that syn

On their slim pliable cables, the bal
looms can be hoisted to height of
