Some "Stark Facts,
About Atomic Bombs.
From ale, the welter of opinions
and guesses, however, , these. facts
stand out: .Allied scientists have
uncovered an atomic explosive of
frigh'ttul power; Allied fantories,
have produced, it in the form of au
atomic bomb; Allied Planes have
carried it to Japan and flattened
a city the size of Winnipeg; it will
certainly shorten the war against
Japan. As for future war's, if any.

Apropos of that' it looks as if

Plexiglass' For War:
`Perspex' For Peace
One of the 'United Kingdom's
war discoveries was Plexiglass --
an unbreakable, flexible, transpar-
ent, glass -like material used in the
manufactureof bomber wind-
screens. This same material will
'tow be applied to peace time pro-
duction under the name of "Pers.
pex," Alreadymanifold household
goods are being produced from
this material ,including complete
bathrooms; electrical and kitchen
equipment, picture frames and
even furniture, Instead of corru-
gated iron, Perspex glass may now
be used for roofs. Jewellery, toys
and wireless casings are 'also be•
ing made:out of this attractive nra
aerial.
Peanut Handbags
Peanut !lulls have become the
source of a new material. Women's
handbags, chair pads, wallboard,
floor coverings, furniture panels,
shoes, and felt hats are a few of
the products that have been devel-
oped from the new material.
