A snowflake—being ice—is a mineral with a chemical composi- tion of 1120, and a hexagonal crystalline 'form like that of the gem stone beryl Snowflakes start as ice crystals, formed — usually on a tiny par- ticle of dust—when water vapor is cooled below freezing. Sleet and hail, on the other hand, re - suit from the freezing of water droplets after condensation. Normally it takes about 10 inches of snow to equal one inch of rain. Because -of the air spaces be- tween fallen flakes, a heavy snow blanket has unusual insulating properties, and may keep the temperature of the ground close to freezing while the tempeiatnre above the snow is below zero. Of trillions of snowflakes no two are ever . exactly alike. --0— NAPHTHALENE BY-PRODUCTS Moth .balls and flakes and syn- thesized medicinal preparations such as aspirin, saccharine, novo- caine and barbital are by-products of. coal. —0— FERTILIZER Fertilizer from coal, in the form of sulphate of, ammonia, is increasing in application.

Axis • Air Losses Are Double British Air losses of the Axis up to the end of 1941—even exclusive of losses in Russia—have been dou- ble those of Britain, it was an- nounced recently; • The Mr Ministry said Axis losses had been 8,659 planes, and Britain's losses 3,962. It gave this breakdown: Over ald around Britain, Axis 3,692, 692, British 8874 over Europe, Axis 940, British 1,875; Middle East, Axis 2,876, British 711; .Western front, Axis 967, British 379; Scandinavian front, Axis 50, Brit - 55; at sea, Axis 89, British 54. In addition. Admiralty records listed 570 other Axis planes de- atroyod at sea by British war- ships and armed lnellellantmen, Have You Heard? Two Irishmen :arranged to fight. a duel with pistols. One .of them was very stout, and when he saw his lean adversary facing him he raised an objection. "Bedad!" he said, "I'm twice as big a target as he is, so I ought to stand twice as far away front him as Ile is from me." • "Be aisy now," replied his sec- ond. "I'll soon put that right." Taking a piece of chalk from his pocket, he drew two lines down the stout man's coat, leaving a space between them. "Now," he said,- turning to the thin man, "fire away, ye spalpeen, and remember that any hits out- side the •chalk !nark don't count." While on 'patrol duty a member of the Home Guard came across a watchman asleep in his hut. The sirens had just previ- ously sounded. Shaking the old man, he shouted: "Wake up; don't you ' know the siren's gone?" Sleepily he murmured: "We'll, I'm not surprised. The people round here'll take anything." A minister advertised for a man -servant. The next morning a well-dressed young man rang the bell. "Can you start the fire and get breakfast by 7 o'rlu_ok," the min- ister asked. "I guess so, relied the young man. 'Well, can you polish all thesil- ver, washthe dishes And keep the. house neat and tidy?" "Say, parson," answered the young fellow. "I came here, to see about getting married, but if it's going to be as much lvork as all that you can count me out right now." Reporter (to veteran of Libyan ' campaign): "Was there any shade in the des- ert?" Soldier: "Yes, but I couldn't get in it." Reporter: "Why not?" Soldier: "Well, have you tried to sit in your own sha- dow?" • When Macpherson came home from work he told his wife: ."I'm joining the Army, Maggie. Pll just take my tea and go along and 'list." "Oh, Sandy," she exclaimed, "what ever has pa', into your head to be a soldier?" "Weer, it's this way," he ex- plained. "I've been giving a pen• ny a week to the comforts fund for two months now, and I'm joining up to, get my parcel!" Father took his small son to church,` At one stage of the ser- vice the clergyman announced: "We shall now sing hymn num- ber two hundred and twenty-two.

Soviet Railway Gauge Handicap To Nazis The difference in the gauge between the Russian and German railways has been a handicap to the Nazis. All their transport by rail has to proceed to the German end of the line and then be trans- shipped to Russian trains, which use a different width between the. rails. This has prevented the, Germans sending Nazi rolling stock on into Russia in the wake of the army. And, as the Russians have been destroying their rolling stock or getting it back out of German reach, the Nazis have not been able to use Russian freight cars and trucks. The original idea in making the railways of different gauge was to hinder a military invasion of Russia, Proof of the wisdom of the action is being had daily on the Russian front. -Windsor Star.

Russian origin including 10,000 Aoulthobors most of whom reside in Western Canada have mobil- ized their total strength not only to help the land of their adoption win their war against the Axis powers but to ensure success for the forthcoming Second Victory Loan Campaign. The National Executive of the Rusaian Committee maintains 2$ organizing and secretarial branch- es in Canada. Posters bearing Russian characters will, before the campaign proper begins on Feb- ruary 16th, be distributed among those Russian 'communities." Cir- culars in which Victory Loan lit- erature has been translated from English into Rusaian will soon be distributed to all those 35,000 Russian Canadians. Russian lang- uage publications in Canada have undertaken to devote all the space required to publicize Canada's was aims and Victory Loan objectives in the Russian language so . that not a single Russian Canadian may be without full knowledge in both directions. This is the Brat time since Can- adian citizens of Russian origin became organized . in Canada in. their own interests that they have volunteered as a united group to aid a national cause of this kind. "We intend to give our whole • strength to your campaign," saic K. Okulewich, Organizing Secre- tary of the committee in a recent interview. "We want your Vie. tory Loan Campaign to be an overwhelming success. We intend to help by distributing -literature to our people prepared by us in the Russian language. We intend to send our organizers and even: canvassers. When the campaign proper begins we intend to have our people volunteer their services to local.. campaign committees to help in any way possible. We command the support of every Russian Canadian in this country and we are satisfied that every man — and woman — associated with our organization will give his fullest support to this im- portant Victory Loan Campaign."

A, Scott, assistant plant pathologist, Cen- tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Speaking at the annual meet- ing of the Registered Seed Grow- ere' Section of the Ontario Crop Improvement Association, at the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, Mr. Scott asserted that Canadian pro- ducers of healthy, high-quality seed were not now in a position 50 meet the demands that would undoubtedly be placed upon them after the war. He advised the seedgrowers to take every pos- sible step toward that goal. He told of experiments now be- ing made at each of the five main experimental farms in Canada to produce"' foundation seed that would be free of seed -born disease such as rust and smut.

See any physiology book or look at the human figure chart in the doctor's office. Moreover, this fine natural girdle of muscles may be developed by bending, kicking, stretching and other well known exercises from a loose flabby girdle into one that is taut, snug and firm enough to hold figure, flat in front and compara- tively small at the waistline, if man or, woman is willing to take to serius daily exercise, 'Close Shave' Allen Gets a Bit Cautious Having passed through all man- ner of escapes and experiences -- including the sinking from under him of the British cruiser Gala- tea—while voyaging nearly 100,- 000 miles as AP correspondent with the British Fleet, Larry Allen made a aolemn pledge upon arriv- ing in hew York for furlough: "I am going to try," he said, "to learn to swim."
