SIDE-WINDS. THAT he might have been able to spare a couple more hours to inspect the extensive works of the Blackburn Aeroplane and Motor Co., Ltd., was the only regret of Field- Marshal Lord French at the conclusion of his visit last week. Under the guidance of Mr. Blackburn, the Managing Director, and Mr. Stuart Hirst, Chairman of the Company, Lord French went through the whole of the shops, and saw the complete process of building an aeroplane from drawing board to the final inspection. He expressed his appreciation of the completeness of the company's organisation, and was greatly interested in the numberless labour-saving devices and arrange ments which have done so much to expedite the building of aircraft. One department which proved specially attractive was that given over to propeller buildipg, where air screws were seen in the various stages of manufacture, while a fascinating display of finished propellers had been arranged in an annexe. The visitors—for the Field-Marshal was accompanied by Brig.-Gen. H. C. Lowther, Lieut.-Col. A. Fitzgerald Watt, Col. Gordon, the Lord Mayor of Leeds, the Chief Constable and many others—were also interested in the work of the company as regards the welfare of their employees, and the canteen buildings were not forgotten in the tour. As a souvenir of his visit. Lord French -was presented by Mr. Hirst with an album, bound in red morocco and suitably inscribed, contain ing photographs of the interior and exterior of many of the office and works buildings. MESSRS. J. W. CARR and Co., LTD., the machinery, tool and metal dealers of 35, Queen Victoria Street, E.C., advise us that Mr. J. Wilson, of their Machine Tool Dept., is no longer in their employ. MR. ALEXANDER JOHNSTON, the General Manager of the North British Rubber Co., Ltd., Castle Mills, Edinburgh, has just been made a Justice of the Peace for the County of the City of Edinburgh. Congratulations ! PRACTICAL and scientific opinions differ as to the most ecorfomical methods of utilising labour, whether it shall be seven, six days, or otherwise continuous work. On balance it is beginning to be conceded that all work and no rest tends very materially to defeat its own end so far as output is concerned. The tendency is therefore to give relaxation with discretion and gather in as a result the greater advantage from labour untired. Nevertheless, no aid should be left untried which may help to the greatest efficiency, and from personal experience we can vouch for the very remarkable recuperative effects of Horlick's Malted Milk, which is a combination of pure, rich, full-cream milk to which is added the nutritive extracts of malted barley and wheat, and, being in powder form, it keeps indefinitely any where, and is instantly ready for use by stirring briskly in hot or cold water. This preparation is produced under ideal conditions, and its .absolute purity can always be depended on, as it is manufactured by the latest scientific methods in a district of England noted for its milk and cereal supplies. Whereas many persons find a difficulty in properly assimilat ing and digesting ordinary milk, which is largely used to counteract the ill-effects from which many workers in munition works suffer at the present time, Horlick's Malted Milk contains far more nutriment than ordinary milk, and can be taken without difficulty by even those of the weakest digestion, and is therefore extremely valuable to all who are feeling the stress and strain of extra work, especially those who are doing this under unfavourable conditions. Horlick's Malted Milk is also obtainable in the form of delicious tablets to be dissolved in the mouth as required, very useful when it is not convenient to prepare a drink, and in this form it has been supplied ex tensively to H.M. Forces both direct and through the War Office and Admiralty. Those interested in keeping munition workers, both male and female, in the best possible condition will do well to communicate with Horlick's Malted Milk Co., Slough, Bucks, by whom fullest particulars will be supplied.

Cole and others, a large party of wounded soldiers were entertained to tea and a musical programme at the Bishopsgate Institute on October 21 st. The event was under the auspices of the Coachbuilding and Motor Trade Fund for Entertaining Wounded Soldiers, and was as successful as the' outing to East Molesey in September. 0 0 0 0 FROM THE BRITISH FLYING GROUNDS, Grahame-White School, Hendon.
