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

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.
