Princess Elizabeth's advisers about whom English newspapers have been inquiring, are two men, both soldiers, who help the Princess to plan her public life and look after the arrangemen-. One is l..leut.- General Sir Frederick Browning. 54-year-old Airborne commander who led his troops at Arnheim and won the D.S.O. in the first war while still in his teens. He is Comp- troller of the Princess's household at Clarence House. The other is Major the Hon. Martin Charteris, aged or, of the King's Royal Rifle Corps, who served as an Intellig- ence Officer in Palestine during the war. He is the Princess's pri- vate secretary. Sir FrederickBroiv- ing was appointed at the personal request of the King. He used to be Chief of Staff in South-East Asia to Lord Mountbatten. '

He took up his duties in Febru- ary, 1948. A special bridge, which has been nicknamed Browning's Bridge, has been built to connect his house in Ambasador's Court with Clarence House. Major Char- tcris took up his duties in January last year. His appointment came .' as a surprise. For he is a high-

spirited young man, and a com-

plete contrast to the elegant, pre-

cise John Rupert Colville who fill- ". ed the post before him. He is an old Etonian. His brother is Lord Wemyss. Both men are husbands and fathers themselves. They sym- pathise with the Princess's desire to see as much as possible of her. husband. l

The youngest son was born in the United States in Jan- uary last year. Mrs. Charterls was visiting her mother, and Major Charteris flew over to be with her before taking up his present ap-

pointment.

Last night's lengthy watch in the piggery however was not with- out a satisfying reward. "If . we don't make one bit of noise rtay only a minute" granddaugh- ter begged of the farmers this morning.

Replacing one of the same that had perished in our gardening, the planting had been included in our Saturday's work. The farmers were taking away the winter-bank- mg then. James wondering as he tidied about the base of this house, "Do you want much earth left about the roots of this climbing thing - Honeysuckle is it, El- len?" And "Hadn't we better clean it all away? What possesses you to plant the like so close to the house? Now that grass by the front verandah, in a few years it will have the sills and boards about it all rotted away. I had better let it go with the banking?” But not this spring. There will be houses, but where should we come by the fascinating touch provided by sprigs of ribbon grass in a summer bouquet? Or where would small ones find material half so good upon which to blow their sharp and surprising notes? And where when the air is soft and warm and alive with carollixig should granddaughter find more lush or charming pasturage for her miniature teams. her mare: and foals than in this plantation by the old stone door-step?

of confinement at Alderiea was past by this. the bridge-building completed. Last sticks of the cover had been put in place and now the clay from the banking was being carted thither to make, smooth passing at the approaches . . .and blessing our planting for ourselves and those who come after we left it then to the years to come. And here and there along the bit of flower border where a parent- plant had shaken its head to an Autumn breeze small green leaves opened to today's sun and wannth. And we marvellod to find some seedling of the some growing thriftily in some out of the way corner.

Q. When a girl is being intro- duced to a man whom she believes she has met before, should she mention this fact?

If his memory does not seem as good as hers. it would be better not to make mention of the form- er meeting, and merely acknow- ledge this introduction with, "Hcw do you do. Mr. Lee."

Q. Is it all right to call one's attention to a. lapse in etiquette?

A. If you did so, you would also be guilty of a serious lapse in good-breeding. lt is much better to ignore the error and to act as if nothing had happened.

Q. On which side of l dinner guest should a maid pass the food?

Ihai Body Of Young By James W. Barton. ILD. g ,..... LABORATORY RESEARCH WORKERS HELP TO PEO- MOTE HEALTH AND PREVENT DISEASE

I sometimes wonder if. as a peo- ple. we place the real value of the enorta of our research laboratory workers in promoting health and overcoming disease as high as we should. It is fortunate, indeed, that today "specialists" in re- search work are being recognized or such and funds to provide a liv- ing for these specialists are avail- able and should continue to in- crease.

Dr. William Burrows. professor of bacteriology at the University of Chicago. gives some interesting information on epidemic diseases.

"The ability to create epidemics among laboratory animals in order to understand the nature of dis- ease better is one of the great strides made by the modem mic- robe hunters."

Laboratory epidemics among mice have told scientists about the nature of such human epidemics as measles. which seems to run in cycles of three years. and diph- therla. which has a cycle of nine years. The reason that epidemics of such diseases rise and fall is not because the organisms causing these diseases becomes less virul- ent (less poisonous) less danger- ous) in nghting human resistance as was previously thought but that newly susceptible individuals on- ter the population.

''In 20 or 30 months of labora- tory work. scientists have been able to create cycles of epidemics equal to those covering 30 years of human life. Their rescurch on mice -has shown that animals recover- lng from artificially epidemic dig- eases have ii life expectancy low. ered by about 15 per cent. On the other hand. mice previously im- munized against the disease (so that they did not develop these diseases) have an increased life Pxpectancy. Such research may show why immunization against infant diseases among hum.” contributes to longer life." sly: Dr. Burrows.
