The only national body of law- makers whose proceedings are broadcast by radio is New Zea- land's House of Representatives. The system was established in 1936 because Labor Party mem- bers claimed their speeches wee too often ignored or garbled by the opposition press. WAVES enjoy the same oppor- tunities for advancement in rank and pay as men of the navy. Coroners and medical examin- ers usually consider two or more bullet holes in the skull to be good evidence that the wounds were not self-inflicted. Yet a number of suicides have been known to shoot themselves, in the in the brain two and three times. In one case a man fired five bullets into his brain before he collapsed. A new aerial camera produces a continuous photograph on long strip of film which is ex- posed as it passes automatically across a narrow slit at a spee synchronized with that of the plane.

But behind your electric switch are thousands of men and huge power plants and far-flung transmission lines and com- plex electric equipment — all essential In the manufacture of electricity. Thou- sands of tons of coal are burned every day to bring you electric power. Today it is important to think of what lies behind your electric switch. Let every switch and electric outlet be a reminder — a "string around your finger" — of the need for saving electricity whenever and wherever you can. Even though elec- tricity is not rationed and there is no shortage in this area, the Government asks you to CONSERVE in store and office and home, thus saving coal and trans- portation and manpower.

Human quadruplets may be born in any of 22 combinations, such as two pairs of identical girls, three identical boys and a irl or two identical girls and two 'raternal boys. One of the rarest of the combinations is four fra- ternal boys; such a birth occurred in a family named Perricone on a farm near Beaumont, Texas, on October 31, 1929. The executive staff of the presi- dent has 758 employes today, thus being 15 times larger than it was ander Herbert Hoover. This in- crease has resulted not only from President Roosevelt's numerous additional peacetime and wartime', activities, but also from ,the trans-' fer by congress of the adminis- tration of many offices to the White House, one alone, the bu- reau of the budget, having 556 employes.
