They apologized, explaining they had advanced so quickly they had left their doctors behind. A Farewell Speech "Rommel permitted me to make a farewell speech in Urdu (Collo- quial Hindustani), As I spoke the Germans stood around admir- fugly, little knowing [ was telling my troops to try and escape that night, making their way along a telegraph line which-¥ spotted-with Rommel's field glasses. " "Over 70 of them escaped that night, and marching through the darkness, guided by the tole- graph line, met me--1I also escap- ed--at a place I named in the farewell speech. While © their guards were asleep we seized a few British lorries which the Germans had captured, then drove off. . "During the day we overtook two German brigades on the road, but when challenge we shouted, blew hors and waved our arms forward. We were allowed to pass and weH-t ned German military traflic moved to" the side of the road to allow what seemed an im- portant convoy to go hy."

Even' where there are two right. angled bends in the transparent instrument, the light rays travel down to the frosted tip and flood the wound with a cold, shadow- ~less light, however inaccessible -- the place may be. Blood does not easily congeal on the instrument, as it does with ordinary lighting apparatus. About 30 different instruments are available, but there are. three or four dual-purpose models which are quite sufficient for or- dinary diagnostic and surgical work in the field, +A set of these, together with a small electric ac- cumulator, costs about £12 and many surgeons in the fighting services-have bought them out of their own pockets, so useful have they proved in action. Some of: Britain's greatgst surgeons are now using these instruments for wounds which cannot be seen into by ordinary operating theatre- lighting. ' Similar instruments have been years past, but they had the dis- advantage of losing their shape in sterilizing. The new instruments" are made of a methyl methacry- late plastic specially developed by British chemists, which will stand any amount of boiling without losing shape. made in other countries for some | Magic Mountain Of Molybdenum One of World's Greatest Mining Enterprises Develop. ed At Climax, Colorado No wondér men guard the workings of Climax Molybdenum with a steel fence and a steel gate which only opens to friends, Its store of molybdenite, black shiny slippery compound of molyb- denum, is precious.
