An army recruiting officer in London explains to some young recruits “The New Idea” of his majesty’s
army. The new idea is the army's supplementary reserve trial scheme. A recruit may join the supple
mentary reserves for six months. If he likes military life, he may join the regular army. If he does not, he
may return to civilian life, but is required to come up for 14 days of training for the next five years. He is
given a bounty of six pounds a year and pay while in training.

neath the Golden Gate bridge at San Francisco to insure its being “the
safest job in the world.” The net, first of its kind to be used in construc

to prevent workmen plummeting to their death from the dizzy heights
of the bridge in the event of a fall.
