with some experience of the corps, and a miscellaneous selection of N.C.O.s, hardly require emphasis. More attention might be given to the fact that the O.T.C. exists to train potential officers, not potential privates.

" THE MUMMY CASE."—by Dermot Morrak. Dermot Morrak strikes out on an original theme in this intriguing story of university life. The yarn describes how a 'varsity don, who is a keen Egyptologist, is discovered dead in his study after a fire. At first it is not considered unusual, but the suspicions of two dons become aroused, and they endeavour to discover the real cause of the death. The scene changes to the Isle of Wight, where they run their quarry to earth after numerous exciting episodes including an adventure in the home of a rival of the deceased.
