The Christmas fare was ordered by the munitions department and ronsigmed to the naval suP»IY officer, "somewhere in Eastern waters." >' How Many Stockings Make A Parachute TAKE A TIP. Since the needs of the lighting forces have deprived the women 00 Canada of their nylon hosiery they are entitled to ask to what extent their individual sacrifice helps the war effort. The answer is that it takes all the nylon yarn speeded for twenty dozen pairs of stockings to make a Para- chute, According to statistics, the average Canadian woman consumes a little over a dozen pairs of foil fashioned stockings per annum so that twenty women, denied nylons for one year, supply material for one parachute. The yardage of yarn involved is tremendous. There are two milers of thread in a pair of nylon stockings and about 500 miles of three 1 in tae Ilyl011 part of a parachute.

If the Rest of the Planets Are Solid, Like The Earth? The moon (which is not a planet but a satellite of a plant) we know from telescopic observation to be a waterless ball of barren and ex- tremely craggy rock, Mercury, Mars, and Venus may be roughly compar- able to the earth in oompc :1.i0•s, for their densities range between 3,3 and 6.6 tunes that of water. That is to say, a unit chunk of materiel of the average weight of these planets will weigh from 3.2' to 5.5 as an equal volume of water But the density of the outer lay- srs of Neptune, is only 1,5 (eery lit- tle greater than that of water which is 1.0), while on Uranus and Jupiter, the corresponding density is VMS than that of water. ,Saturn's density is a featherweight .41, or less than half that of water. A chunk of material from the outer Ityers of Saturn, if dropped in our ocean, would float with more than hall its volume out of water.
