1. When a man does not be-
lieve in tipping and is eating in a
place where tipping is customary,
what should he do?
2. Is it necessary that all men
in a wedding party wear the same
kind of clothes?
3. If a girl has not been gt.ing
with a young man very long and
his folks invite her to have din-
ner, should she accept or refu,e?

to remain all afternoon?
Answers
1. FIe should give a tip, and
then in the future eat in places
here tipping is not customary.
2. Yes.
3. There is no reason why ••he
should not accept, unless the
young man is becoming too ser-
ious in itis attentions, which she
does not want, and she thinks it
might be inferred that she too
,vas serious,
4. No; he usually says, "I am
John Black," or "My name is
Black," unless his title is used
in addressing, as "Dr. Black."

course, but not in an attempt to
bring the performer back for an

HOW CAN I? ? ?
Q. How can I clean pans that
have been scorched by food ad-
hering to them?

easily and quickly cleaned.
Q. How can I clean gold •or

"Richelieu" to Fight
With Allied Navies
Vice -Admiral WlRiaJt1 Glass.
ford, Jr., head of a United States
mission to Dakar, said the 35,000 -
ton French battleship Richelieu
et Dakar .would he refitted and
"within a few months will be a
top notch ship fighting with the
Allied navies."
He soid a number of American
divers and technical exports had
arrived at Dakar to supervise re"
habilitation of the Richelieu,
damaged b British attacks earlier
in the war, and other warships
at the West African port.
This work, he said, is paving

Have You Heard
The weary -looking man stopped
before a shop window which had
been hired by the Humane Soci-
ety. In the centre of the window
was the picture of a large, furry
animal with a woebegone expres-
sion on its face. Underneath was a
placard: "I was skinned to pro•
vide a woman with fashionable
Ears."
For a moment the tired ex-
pression faded from the man's
face.
"Ioor old chap," he muttered.
"So was I."
Uncle: "Come, Johnny,
let's go back to the house."
Johnny (on first visit to
the country): "Wait just a
minute, uncle—I want to see
the end of this stream, go
by"
In a liner striking heavy weath-
er in mid -ocean, some of the pas-
sengers were very uncomfortable.
Watching a miserable -looking
man who was bending over the
side of the ship, a fair young
thing turned to the woman at
her side. "Your husband is a poor
sailor, is he not?" she said. "Cer-
tainly not," said the woman, "be
is a rich stockbroker."
Policeman (to tramp sit-
ting on top of oak tree): Hey
What are you doing up
there?"
Tramp: "1 don't know; I
must have sat on an acorn."
Horace Greeley (the great
American editor) always insisted
that the word "news" was plural.
and demanded that it be used as
such. Once when he had sent a
reporter out of town on a story,
he wired: "Are there any news?"
The reporter, following in-
structions, wired back: "Not a
new."
Mistress: Why don't you
keep the baby quiet, Kate?"
Kate: "I can't keep hint
quiet, Ma'am, unless I let him
make a noise."
A little girl of five was enter-
taining while her mother was get-
ting ready. One of the ladies re-
marked to the other with a signif-
icant look, "Not very p -r -e -t -t -y,"
spelling the last word.
"No," said the child quickly,
"but awfully s -m -a -r -t."
First Cannibal: "Ana I late
for dinner?"
Second Cannibal: "Yee,
everybody's eaten."
Nazi Diet Coarse
But Still Adequate
Food Position Far From
Deltical As Substitutes Used
Germany's diet is much poorer
than that of wartime America, but
its food position :is far from crit-
ical, the United States °Mee of
War Information reports on the
basis of data reaching the Board
of Economic Waa'fare and other
Government agencies,
Despite the Nazis' thorough
milting of the produce of the oc-
cupied countries, the German diet
is coarse, monotonous and lacking
in such edible foods as meat, aid -
mill fats and white bread.
Food production in Axis -held
Europe in the 1942-45 crop year
will fall short of ordinary civilian
requirements, it rues said, but it is
not expected seriously to impair
the German war art.
Although the Germans are sub-
stituting less valuable vegetable
protein for scarce animal protein,
the substituion is not expected to
diminish by a considerable amount
the physical powers of the people
this year,
Less Grain and Fruit •
United States Government data
indicates that the German diet
will be only slightly worse this
year than last, with shortages of
fats and livestock remaining the
sore spots in the Axis food eco-
nomy.
Both the European grain and
fruit crops were cut last year as
a consequence of bad weather, and
the fish catch — affected by the
blockade, the ship shortage and
danger of mines—is still below
normal, it was said, but practically
every country in Europe reported
an increased potato crop.
Axis sugar stocks are consid-
ered only slightly less than those
of the pre-war years, while Get' -
man vegetable production and im-
ports rose sufficiently in 1942 to
enable Germany to increase her
per capita vegetable consumption
by more than 60 per cent.
U.S. Will Pay Out
$3,516 Every Second
About that $100,000,000,000—•
the amount of President Roose-
velt's new budget — here are a
few ideas on how big that sum
is: Divided equally, it would be
$819 for every man, woman and
child in the United States, The
Treasury will have to ay out an
average of $8,516 every second,
24 hours a day, Sundays and holi-
days included.
Approxiriiately 120,000 Ameri-

Sweden Prepared

WUAT SCIENCE

PLASTIC RAZOR
A "simplastir" razor, its it 1s
called, has been designed of meet
army requirements, The blades,
of course, are still of the finest
steel, The average metal taior
weighs two ounces; the new plas-
tie razor only three-quarters of an
ounce, It requires 125 pounds of
brass, steel and zine to make a
thousand metai razors, but only
five pounds to make a thousanl
plastic razors. These five pounds
go into a small screw at the top
o4 the handle. Since about 12,-
000,000 metal razors are pro-
duced annually in normal tines,
it follows that a million and a
half pounds of fine total could
be saved by making razors of
plastics instead of metals. Sim -
plastic is 0,1 acetate cellulose.
NEARSIGHTEDNESS
Children like to read the fun-
nies with their heads down. Dr.
Frederick A. Woll (Columbia)
disapproves of the habit because
it is one of the chief causes of
nearsightedner.. When heads hang
down eyeballs are stretched, so
that the distance between the re-
tina and the lens is increased.
One Austrian physician went so
far as to harness a class of chil-
dren so that they could not get
too close to their work. Result:
A reduction in the percentage of
nearsightednss. Dr. Well prefers
to enlarge the print' so that when
a funny is brought close to the
eye the field of vision is narrow-
ed. Children then hold the book
away in order to take -in a whole
word or phrase at a glance.
Prime Minister Per Albin Han.
son warned' the Swedish Parlia-
ment of the possibility of an at-
tack on Sweden and said "beyond'
any doubt we will defend our-
selves." He cautioned against the
possibility of false ord'er's being
issued, as happened in Norway,
and said if an attack came every-
one would have to join in de-
fending the country, the only re.
maining neutral nation in North-
ern Europe.
The newspaper Dagens Nylloter
said the country "must be ready
to meet blitz attacks, especially
by enemy air forces" and added
that "Swedes have enough cour-
age to face reality, even the real.
ity of war."

Future of Arctic
Full of Promise
The future of Arctic Canada,
both commercially and spiritually,
is full of hope and promise, said
the Right Rev. A. L. Fleming,
Bishop of the Arctic, in a recent
address.
He predicted that the Arctic
way would be the quickest and
safest route to Great Britain,
Europe, Russia and, Asia, and
the most popular after the war.
Bishop Fleming was enthusiastic
about the development of air
fields by the United States Army,
declaring that from it would come
a great opening up of the Arctic.
The Arctic is short of many
things, food supplies, particularly
canned goods, radio supplies,
spare parts for engines and com-
mercial planes, he reported, but

ingenuity in substitutes.
Bishop Fleming himself has
wroked among the Eskimos for
34 years, and found them hgihly
intelligent persons.
Stiff Tests Taken
By Navy Divers
A diver in the navy fust not
have a cold in his head, a hang-
over or take a drink before he
dives, Petty Officer C. E. Mc-
Burney, 23 -year-old ex -machinist
from Ottawa, now an ordnance
artificer in hte Royal Canadian
Navy, said recently.
He told of tests taken below
the surface i.cluding sawing a
six by six tifber in two or sling-
ing a scaffold underneath a small
boat.
"But the pay-off,' said MaEur-
ney, "is the breathing test to see
how long you can stay conscious
depending only on the air in the
diver's suit. I stood it for six
minutes; one guy did nine," he
said.
