The Brussels Post, 1943-1-13, Page 6How Can 1?
By Anne Ashley,
Q. How can 1 rid the sewing
machine and other machinery of
dust and lint?
A. A good method for this pur-
pose is the use of a bicycle or
automobile pump.
Q. Flow can I clean a cloelc?
A. Place a piece of cotton
saturated with kerosene inside the
door of a largo clock and allow it
to remain for a few days. This
will have a tendency to clean the
works,
Q. How can I give a faint
delicate scent to handkerchiefs?
A. 'Moisten a blotter with per.
fume' and place in the handker-
chief' box. It will impart to the
haii'tcerchiefs just the delicate
scent desired. •
Q.• How can I ' make a good
salad with left -over; cooked hang?
A. Mix with hard cooked eggs,
celery, and dressing, and you will
have a good salad to serve for
luncheon or supper.
Q. Flow can I easily clean bed
springs?
r.
A, long -handled, medium-
sized brush will prove invaluable
in cleaning bed springs. Dip the
brush frequently into hot water.
St will get into the corners very
easily.
One mine in Chile is proaucing
25 per cent. of the world's capper
supply.
Have You Heard?
A guide was showing'a party of
visitors around a museum, and
presently they came to a room
full of stuffed animals.
"Now, these stuffed animals,",
said the guide, "are the most
valuable collection in the coun-
try. They are worth many thou-
sands of pounds."
"Is that so?" asked one of the
visitors, "What aro they stuffed
with, then?"
Mistress; 01 am sorry you
are leaving ua, Jane. But,
of course, if you are going
to betteryourself, I—"
Maid: "Oh no, madam. I
am going to be married."
Two girls .who hadn't seen each
other for years unexpectedly met
one day.
"Do you remember that red-
haired boy we used to meet at the
tennis club?" asked one.
"Do I not," replied the other.
"Why, he told me that if I didn't
marry his, he'd go and do some-
thing dreadful. I wonder what
became of him?"
"He happens to be my hus-
band," snapped the first girl,
viciously.
"What. Is a debtor?"
"A man who owes money."
"And what is a creditor?"

JUST A DRIP
This winter wonder, an icicle
bird, was formed when snow
melting on the roof of a Hutchi..
son, Kan., home, fell 011 a - shrub
and froze in this form.
"A man who thinks he's
going to get‘it back."
Jones and Binks were skating
round the local pond. Suddenly'
Binks' face broke into a broad
smile.
"What's the joke, old man?”
inquired his friend.
"Well, you know that chap
Ponsonby, the fellow we can't
bear at the club, don't you?"
said Binks.
"Yes."
"Well, the ice can't bear him
either," chuckled Binks, pointing
to the far side of the pond.
Seaman: "An' there I sees
a torpedo, Lady, 'ceding
straight for ua."
Lady Listener: "Dear mei
1 do hope it was one of oural"
First Farmer—"Potato bugs ate
nay whole crop in ten days."
Second Farmer — "They ate
mine in two days and then roost-
ed in the trees to see if I would
plant some more."
Seed Merchant—"That's noth.
ing. Right now there's one over
there going through my books to
see who has ordered seed for next
spring."
"Is the boas in?"
"No; he's gone out for
lunch."
"Will he be in after
lunch?"
"No; that's what he's gone
out after."
WHAT SCIENCE
IS MING
BEET HARVESTER
New harvesting machines may
revolutionize sugar beet produc-
tion as .the reaper and combine
did wheat farming.
In apparently successful testa,
a mechanical harvester dug and
topped more beets than six men
could handle in a slow, back-
breaking costly toil.
Fifteen mechanical {jiggers and
toppers were operated this year
in the United States.
Another 100 machines will be
manufactured for the 1943 sea-
son. The tests this year were
"outstandingly successful" in
light, sandy soils.
It is believed that these, com-
bined with a newly developed
thinning machine used for beet
cultivation, may cut hand labor
'75 per cent. Montana farmers
now need 10,000 helpers.
l:ecause of wartime metal
shortages, full scale production of
the diggers and toppers cannot be
expected until after the war.
Nine major beet growing States
produce annually about 1,700,000
tons of sugar worth approximately
$60,000,000 to growers. The
major beet States are California,
Colorado, Montana, Nebraska,
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Ohio and
Michigan.
Rubber is beingproduced from
the roots of a wild shrub in
French Equatorial Africa.

U -Boat Menace
Not Yet Solved
Mr. Alexander, First Lord of
the Admiralty, spoke no less than
the truth when he referred to
Germany's U-boat campaign as
the greatest of all our problems.
It is a problem which has not
yet been finally solved, although
by their marvellous performances
the Royal Navy and the Mercan-
tile Marine have never let the
U-boats get the upper hand.
It may be that the U-boat men-
ace has passed the peak. It may
be that it has yet to reach it. We
do not know.
What we must realize is that
we cannot afford to exult prema-
turely, and that the weapon which
is Hitler's last remaining hope of
breaking the iron ring of British
seapower will be used with in-
creasing savagery as his situation
grows more desperate.
It would be grossly unfair to
our seamen—quite apart from the
danger that always resides in un•
founded complacency—to under-
estimate what tremendous calls
will be made on them before they
can pronounce that the teeth of
Germany's submarines have been
finally drawn.,

Mark — Current Loans
Position Very Strong
Tile steadily mounting tempo of
Canadian business. is strikingly re-
flected in the Annual Balance
Sheet just issued by The Royal
Bank of Canada for the year end-
ing November 30tH,
Total assets are well over tate
billion dollar mark and now stand
at $1,291,615,947, the highest point
ever reached in the history Of the
bank.
1)0904110 by the public, topping
the billion dollar stark, have like-
wise reached an all-time high. The
liquid position has been still fur-
ther strengthened with quickly
realizable assets representing
75.44 r, of the bank's liabilities to
the public. Prom point of view of
aggregate assets and liquidity this
year's statement is the most im-
pressive ever issued by the bank.
Profits for the year show mod-
erate contraction due to increased
Dominion Government taxes, high-
er operating costs and the fact
that comparatively low yields are
being obtained on the substantial
sums invested in Government
bonds.
Total assets have increased by
more than 9216,000,000, over the
figure attained the previous year.
Liquid assets show marked expan•
sion and aggregate $906,440,239.
as compared with 9681,918,309. a
year ago. Liquid assets include
Dominion and Provincial Govern-
ment securities, 9519,801,346. as
compared with $371,231,959, the
previous year; United States and
British Government securities, 946,-
023,701. as compared with the pre-
vious total of $6,912,050, while
cash on band and deposits with
the Bank of Canada, other cash
items and bank balances are $261,-
884,475,

Current Loans in Canada stand
at 9255,148,401, an increase of 913,-
365,000.
13;365,000. It is understood advances
made by the bank to assist purr
chaser's of -the- recent Victory bond'
issue account for this increase
and that ordinary commercial bor.
rowings are somewhat lower. The
explanation Is that activities of
many businesses have been divert-
ed to war .production, resulting in
rapid turnover and prompt settle-
ment of accounts; furthermore, in.
vontories are, generally speaking,
lower. As a consequence many
concerns find it unnecessary to
borrow from the banks.
Current loans outside Canada
are down by slightly over 916,000,-
000. Total deposits are higher by
9225,000,000 and now stand at $1,-
181.,217,102. Dominion Government
deposits at 9144,102,823. aro sub-
stantially higher and this is at-
tributed to the Government de-
positing with the banks the pro-
ceeds of the recent Victory Loan.
It ie interesting to note that de-
spite substantial withdrawals by
the public for the purchase of
Victory Bonds, public deposits
(excluding Government deposits)
have increased from 9902,152,676.
to 91,002,507,405.
After providing for Dominion
Government taxes amounting to
$2,014,166. and making appropria-
tions for diad and doubtful debts,
profits for the year amounted to
$0,380,123. which represents a
slight reduction as compared with
the previous year's figures. Prom
these profits dividends amounting
to $2,625,000 were paid, 9315,000
appropriated for the Pension Fund
and $400,000 for • Bank Premises.
The sum of 950,123 was carried
forward to the balance of Profit
and Loss Account which now
stands at $3,259,193.

deer were delivered from Alaska
to a reserve of 6,600 square miles
established on the east side of the
Mackenzie river delta. There now
are three herds, two of them un-
der Eskimo management near the
Anderson and Horton rivers about
150 miles east of the reserve.
Eskimos Good Herdsmen
Some 3,000 deer have been
slaughtered or lost since the herd
arrived in Canada. Meat has
been sold to natives and resi-
dents of Aklavik and donated to
schools, hospitals and missions,
while some animals have been used
for food and clothing by the
reindeer herding staff. Others
have strayed from the herds and
some have died.
