Then Britain bought up every pound of molybdenite, the compound, that Norway could produce to keep any of the sup- ply from flowing to Germany. In this War today molybdenite is even more sought after by the Makers of high speed tools and every kind of high grade steel. This is e. war of guns, planes, tanks and armour where speed in haping, and stronger and longer- lifed steel can win. New 5 Cent Coin To Replace Nickel Canada's new 12-sidedBye-cent pieces, likely to be In circulation next month, will be made of cop. per and zinc, an alloy known as tombac, Icon, J. L. Ilaley, Finance Minister, announced last week. Mr. Ilaley, announcing In the Common's Aug. 1, the Govern. inent's intention to introduce the ;law coin, said the _adieu was being taken to preserve Canada's nickel supply for war purposes. • Mr. Ilsley described the com- position of the new coin es "an admixture of copper and zinc, sim- ilar to `prince's metal,' named aft- er Prince Rupert, and also an alloy called `tomibao,' from Malay 'tombaga,' a popular alloy for jewelery ht the East Indies" Easy To Distinguish The Finance Minister explaiued that the dodecagonal coin is de. Signed to prevent confusion with 'tete one -cent, 10 -cent or 25 -cent ooins. "Its size should prevent It from being elusive," he said, "and It will be easy to distinguish and extract, when mixed with other coins in a purse or trouser''s pocket, by its unique and peculiar shape. "It has neither the milled edge of the silver nor the plain round edge of the former nickel or the One -cent piece, so that even a _ strayed reveller in the dark would not be likely to bestow it upon some unworthy recipient in mis- take for a quarter, A War Measure "The size, weight and thickliess aer exactly the same as the pres- ent 9 -cent nickel coin in circula- tion, It will, therefore, operate in the pay etation telephones and will fit coin -change -making ma- ehinea in theatres, on street rail- way cars and busear . "To the end. of 1941 there had been nearly 90,000,000 nickel coins issued from the mint, so that any- one should have no difficulty in getting a nickel piece, it they 60 desire, for years to come, "The elimination of nickel nein. age is really a 'victory' measure, and Is expected to release about 60 toes of nickel a' year for war purposes. After the war the coins eau be recalled, or, if returned as worn coin, can be made into bronze cents without difficulty. or lose. What Science Is Doing ELIXIR OF HIPS The hip harvest was bountiful in Scotland last autumn -124,000,- 000 hips weighing 200 tons were gathered before the Ministry of Health cried halt and further tons of hips were collected in Eng- land, so that this spring British druggists marketed 600,000 bottles of hip syrup. Hips are the soft scarlet, hairy fruit of the rose. Boy scouts and women's services were sent on their finger -pricking harvest when British chemists found that rose hips are an ab- surdly rieh source of vitamin C- 400% richer than oranges (now rare as mangoes in Britain) and 300% richer than black currants (C -richest cultivated Oruit). All this was reported in copies of Monthly Science News recently arrived In the U. 8. from Bug - land. FoliowIng antique herbals, many housewives concocted their own elixir of hips. Widespread result: they found themselves not only spooning out vitamin 0 to their bairns, but, as corks popped in pantries, indulging in a potent home-brew. Amused but impressed, one British medical journal ob• served: "We may even see hip syrup competing with orange juice attar the war."—Time HOW CAN K? Q.

E. Frow'de Seagram is on the left making the presentation. "Sawdust Fusiliers" Fight Forest Fires Fighting forest fires in the Highlands is a new role of the Canadian Forestry Corps. ' Recently the "Sawdust Fusil- iers" distinguished themselves by bringing under control a dozen big fires and many small ones which threatened Scottish timber stands, immensely valuable to the war effort. They fought the outbursts for 10 days with all the old skill they used in Can'ade' when they battled summer blazes as civilian lumber- men in the north woods. Com- mendation was received from the British Ministry of Supply for the way the Canadians saved the for- ests. Scotland had had a warm, rain- less month and woods were bone day. Trains passing by used tee spit out the occasional burning cinders as they passed and as an officer said "in less time than it would take to say London, Mid- land and Scottish Railway, there was a lovely little fire." Soon it was neither lovely nor little and the Canadians were called out. British troops helped them but it was a Canadian fire pump, veteran of many an Ontario and Quebec blaze, that really did the job on the large fires. Eight forestry corps companies of about 260 men each were in- volved in the fire fighting. Tiny Men Needed For Midget Subs The Australian radio reported - reoently that a number of small boys, taking advantage of their size, climbed into a Jap midget submarine on exhibition in Sydney and defied all efforts to pry them out. The submarines were so small, said a broadcast recorded by CBS, that adulte could not go in after the boys, who "remained until they were disposed to come out themselves." The broadcast said that naval officers expressed their astonish- ment that men small enough to man the submarine could be found 'even in Japan. One officer estimated the maximum height possible as four feet two inches. The submarine was raised from the harbor after it was sunk dur- ing a recent attack on Sydney. Modern Etiquette 1.

Have You Heard? Joe Davidson, the American sculptor, was idling about the streets of Paris when he was ap- proached by an unkenspt Arab who was carrying several carpets on hie shoulder. "Buy a carpet?" asked the street seller. "No, nol" said the sculptor. "They smell!" "How dare you say that!" cried the Arab indignantly. He drew himself up proudly. "I'll have you know, monsieur, that my car- pets do not smell. It is I8' Simms: "And you reckon you save .money by .going. through the household aa - counts every evening with your wife?" Grants "I save dollars, old man. By the time we balance it's too late to go anywhere." A parrot lived in the bar of an inn, and was accustomed to note the rush of business every Satur- day night. One Saturday it left its cage to explore the neighborhood,: and was eventually found in a field sur- rounded by crows, who were busi- ly depriving it of its feathers. When the rescue party arriv- ed, the parrot was heard ejacu- lating: "One at a time, gentle- men, if you please. One at a three i you'll all be served." Teacher: "Tommy, how many make a few?" Tommy: "Three or four." "How many make. a dozen?" "Twelve." "How many melte a mil- lion?" "Very few." A typical example of the un- conquerable Cockney spirit. A famous city tavern, windows shet- tered, has the following notice posted up where the windows once stood:— OPEN AS USUAL The little tea and coffee shop next door, windows all shattered, has gone one better and an- • nounces cheerily:— MORE OPEN THAN USUAL. Dressmaker — "1 consider this the most perfect fit I've ever seen." Customer — "Well, you should see the fit my husband will have when he gets the bill." "I see, dear," remarked the wife, reading from her newspaper, "khat a woman has been awarded 12,000 damages for the loss of .0 ,thumb. I shouldn't have thought a thumb was as valuable as that" "Perhaps she kept her husband under it," grunted her husband, "It's the little things that keep people awake' at night," says a doctor. Especially those aged one day to -18 months. ,You GiRLS WHO SUFFER DYSMENORIIIIEA If you stiffer monthly cramps, back- ache, 'distress of irregularities," nervousness—due to functional monthly disturbances—try Lydia 5, Plnkham's Vegetable Compound Tablets (with added iron).

In Domeetio Coal Consume tion In almost three Years of war, life In Britain Ilan become more and more Spartan, but new re- strictione will make it even more rigorous. A development likely to involve many hardships next winter is the call for saving 10,000,000 tons of coal. Domestic consumption has to be cut by 6,000,000, while the - remaining 4,000,000 will be saved through economies by larger coal users. Old clothes are being reno- vated to such an extent that shops doing this work are unable to keep pace with the orders. In one large London shoe repairing shop there are 15,000 pairs o shoes waiting to be repaired and new orders cannot be filled for three or four weeks. Stocking Situation Serious The firms that undertake "in- visible mending" of stockings are requiring two weeks for deliver - les, and the whole stocking situa- tion is so acute that there will shortly be special shops where stockings can be resoled and re - heeled from salvaged material which has been sterilized. In every big store you can now get shirts recollared and recuffed from material taken off the tail. You can get a woman's suit made up from a man's tailcoat and trousers. After Aug. 1 no more articles not considered strictly useful will be manufactured. That means no more ornamental glassware, coffee percolators, soup spoons, metal or rubber toys, jewelry, leather trunks, eyebrow tweezers, to name a few. Less water for baths and fewer baths is urged. The plimsoll line of a bath is set at a five -inch level and the official injunction i;ll "Have a bath every other day."
