HE’S STARTING A
~TmH| FIRST OASS HEADACHE!
A NYONE who reads a newspaper in bad
l*ght is flirting with eyestrain —a
serious thing that can lead to headaches I
71 and fatigue. Three times as much light is
./ J required for reading a newspaper as for
reading a well printed book.
And nowadays good light is something
I every family can afford. The new LE S. 1
| reading lamps designed by scientists to pro
, I tect eyesight, can be purchased at any store
I at amazingly low prices. And there are
many different kinds of clever "adapters" [
that change old lamps and fixtures into
the modern up--to-date sight-saving kind. !
Don't risk eyestrain for yourself or your
family another day. Stop in and see the i
s new ways to better light for better sight.

What does the term '‘ash can”
mean in the Navy?
An “ash can” is a slang term ap
plied to the depth charge used to
combat submarines. The average
“ash can” is a container tilled
with approximately 300 pounds of
T.N.T. and can be dropped over
board from a ship and so con
trolled as to explode at depths
ranging from 36 to 300 feet. These
are generally carried by the fast
ships in the fleet, as a boat drop
ping a charge regulated to ex
plode at 70 feet depth must move
away from the explosion area at a
speed of 25 knots or more These
“ash cans” are either rolled off
the stern or shot from “y-guna”
which hurl one right and one left
simultaneously. ,
