HOW CAN!?
' By Anne Ashley

of heavy white paper, cut to proper
shape, in the bottom of the bird
cage. Each morning a paper can
be lifted out, leaving a nice clean
floor.
Q. How can I make a good
paste?
A. Take onehalf teaspoonful

paper.

rors or glass with a very wet cloth,

trate back of the frame and injure
the glass. just use a good, damp
ohamois for this purpose.
Blind Helping
Build Bombers
Some Turn Out More Work
Than Sighted Employees
Blind workers are helping build
fighting and bombing planes at the
Lockheed Aircraft factory, and
their boss says that in some re-
spects they are better than sighted
employees.
Eleven blind men and two sight-
less women have been engaged in
a placement test in the Lockheed
plant for more than a month, and
some of them new turn out more
work than their fellows, due to
higher power of concentration.
"On some of the more difficult
operations the duality of their work
is above average," said C. L. Pel-
ton, Lockheed superintendent of
fabrication. "In every case with-
in a few weeks the quantity of their
work equalled or exceeded that of
sighted persons on the same olio. -
diem"
Guide dogs bring the sightless
workers to the plant each morning,
threading their way through tite
intricate aisles and buildings of the
main Lockheed factory. There the
dogs doze all day beneath their
masters' benches. q.
Miss .Hazel Hurst, Sightless pre-
sident of a foundation for training
blind persons at Monrovia, worked
&t every job before selecting a
,blind worker to be placed in it.

BBC Warns France
To Be Prepared
The BBC warned the French
again that it was important now
as never before for every French.
man to be prepared for opera-
tions by the Allied air forces,
navies and armies. The French
were advised to keep away from
German headquarters and bar-
racks, rail centres and repair
yards and the fortified coastal
zones.
Nazis Desert On
Journey To Front
The Polish Government in
London said it had received con-
firmation of desertions by Ger-
man officers and men from trans-
ports crossing Poland to the East-
ern Front.
It said these desertions have
become so frequent that the Ger-
man authorities have been obliged
to organize a special control sys-
tem, Deserters who discard their
military equipment and buy civil-
ian clothes are said to reach Ger-
many by applying to German
labor offices recruiting workers
for labor in the Reich.
WHAT SCIENCE
IS NM
ICE INDICATOR ON PLANES
There's a little gadget which has
just been perfected that likely
will make next winter's flying
easter for the boys who pilot Allied
bombers. it's an ice Judicator.
It isn't impressive -looking. It
weighs about five pounds and
looks like a handful of telephone
cord connecting two small black
boxes, a dial and a plastic disc,
It does these things:
1. It tells when ice starts to
form an the plane.
2. It tells how thick the ice is.
3. It can switch on a d0 -icer.
Iu abort, it means the bomber
pilot has one less thing to worry
about.
It sounds very simple, But ac-
tually the young scientist who lo -
vented the gadget, Dr. Waldo
Kliever, put the complicated new
science of electronics to work to
make it.
It's the first time anyone has
been able to measure the rate at
which ice forms on a plane. Until
now, the co-pilot has had to do
the worrying and trust his own
judgment. If you've ridden a
sleeper plane, you've seen him at
night come back into the cabin
and throw his flashlight beam
along the leading edge of the wing.
He was looking for ice and trying
to determine how thick it was.
The indicator starts with a small
disc set into any surface of the
plane which wants watching. This
disc is linked to a dial on the
pilot's dashboard. When ice forms,
the dial's needle swings to the
right, and as It swings 1t indicates
just bow much ice is outside on
the wing.
It isn't a gadget that measures
dropping temperatures like a ther-
mometer. It doesn't touch the ice.
It simply registers "ice" because
the ice changes the character of
the electrical "field" around it.

Have You Heard?
The landlord of offices ten-
anted by a final of Scots lawyers
whose lease Was about to expire
wrote to ask whether they were
going to continue 111 occupation,
Their reply Waal
"Dear Sir, We are, Yours
truly—"
Not appreciating this effort in
economy- of words --unci paper—
he wrote again to demand whether
or not it Was their intention to
remain. The answer was:
"Dear Sir, We remain, Yours
truly"
The landlord is not trying
again.
A milkman inducted into
the army wrote back home
from camp: "Bessie, I sure
do like this army life. It's
so nice to lie abed every

"On the day on which my wed-
ding occurred—"
"You'll pardon the correction

Teacher (pointing to deer

Johnny: "Don't tell me

"Are you positive that the de- .
fenclant was drunk?" asked the
judge.
"No doubt," growled the offi-
cer.
"Why are you so certain?"
"Well," replied the officer, "I
saw him put a penny in the patrol
box on Fourth Street, then look
up at the clock on the church and
shout: "Gowd, I've lost 14

Farmer: "It wasn't bad,

The musketry instructor was
giving a squad of recruits their
first lesson on the rifle.
"Your rifle is your best pal,"
he told them. "Treat it as you
would your mother, your sister or

"I hadn't been talking to
the fellow for more than five
minutes when he called me a
fool,"
"What caused the delay?"
Things Are Really
Getting Very Hard
Brother, things are really get-
ting hard.
Shortly, there is to be no more
steel for springs in beds, chester-
fields or over -stuffed chairs.
Presumably after a night of
sleepless tossing in worry over the
slump in steel production, one of
the experts of the Munitions De-
pertinent decided that the metal
whish had gone into his bed-
spring might better have been us-
ed for guns or tanks.
Actually, there was nc ban yet
on the use of steel in springs, ex-
plained a Munitions publicity man,
because the order hadn't been
signed.
' No signed order --so no news,
was the way he looked at it, with
an eye to protecting the sanctity
of Monitions' thousandth or so
press release,
"Anyway," he asked querulous-
ly in after.thorght, "do we have
to have chesterfields, and with
springs':"

No More Brass

Metal To Be Conserved For
Making Munitions
No more brass will be released
for the hat badges, tunic buttons,
buckles, and web equipment of the
Canadian armed forces, the muni-
tion and supply department an-
nounced recently.
Metals Controller George Bate-
man said the shortage of brass
now is so acute that it must be
conserved by the services as well
as by the civilian. Enough will be
saved by his ruling to make 26,-
000,000
6;000,000 .303 rifle cartridge cases
per month.
Instead os brass, a hat badge
made of a plastic will be standard
issue in a few weeks. John Eaton
of Toronto, director-general of the
general purchasing branch, hold-
ing a sample, said "it is black in
color, neat as a pin, and so tough
that even a strong man could not

The metal parts of the web
equipment will be steel, coated
with a black flaish. "As for the
turtle buttons," said Mr. Eaton, "a
final decision has not been reaohed
by the services, The buttons must
match the belt buckle, and the
buckle will be made of a plastic,
or of the same black -finished steel
that will go into the web equip-
ment."

Officers as well as N.C,C.'s and
men will be affected by the new
ruling. What substitutes the (ffio-
