Canadian PaciFic Ah Lines Girls Keep Trainers Flying
CAN PACIFIC AIR
LINES are making a notable con-
tribution to Canada's war sort in
the elementary training and engine
overhaul fields. The young ladies
shown above are working long and
' bard in the production end of the
flying gaine and their trained efforts
are of real importance in the task of
blowing Hitter and Hirohito off the
snap.
, In shops located at strategic points
throughout the Dominion, girls, who
' were once stenographers, sales girls
and students, are now busily engaged
under the Canadian Pacific Air Lines'
banner. Picture on the left shows
Miss Ina Lane putting all the energy
Of her twenty years into doing her bit
to back up her brother, Trooper
Westley Lane, who is overseas with
the Fort Garry Horse. With her is
Miss Muriel Carr, also twenty, and
both of them are sanding the wing
structure of a trainer plane. The up-
per right hand picture shows Miss
Muriel Stevenson, who confesses that
she would rather assemble instru-
ment panels as a Contribution to the
cause than sell dry goods in a depart-
ment store. Her heart is in the work
and the panels go together with a
will. The lower right picture shows.
Miss Florence Nordal in a Canadian
Pacific .Air Lines operated engine
overhaul plant. She is testing valve
springs tension, a far -cry from her
old job of clerk in a country creamery.
All the girls hrthie industry have one
motto and it is to keep the training
planes flying.
This is the kind of spirit that
Hitler cannot match and is one of the
factors which will eventually soundly
defeat him.

Air Raids in Progress
Dog lovers often ask how the dogs
in England are getting along in the
terrible air raids now in progress.
On this point a letter from a lady
who keeps a famous kennel of Irish
setters on the outskirts of London
was received.
She writes: "You Would laugh at
my dogs trooping into the dugout
when things get lively here. Only
one dog, Champion Veracity, was
scared by the noise and now she
has got completely used to it. My '
old Champion- Vanity has got the
whole thing taped, she will stay in
the house until guns or bombs are
loud, then she scuttles into the dug-
out"
Another letter says: "In a dog's
home near the coast the inmates
recently showed coniplete indiffer-
ence to the sirens and even to ex-
ploding bombs. There are cases
where both dogs and cats have
learned to know what an air-raid
warning means and promptly make
off. and take cover. The other day
a heavy bomb fell within a mile of
a shed full of dogs, they were un-
perturbed. Above another dog's
home raiders unloaded and the anti-
aircraft batteries were .in action.
Not a dog even barked. They were
all less affected than if it had been
a thunderstorm."
It would appear that man's best
friend is standing up to the raids
well.

Salmon and Sudden Death
As Celilo Indians Fish
Every year, tourists flock to Celilo
Falls, a hundred miles east of•Port-
land, Ore., to watch the Celilo In-
dians fish for salmon during the
spring and fall runs. The tourists
stand around for hours, and occa-
sionally they will be on hand to see
an Indian slip into the rapids and
drown while his fellows frantically
try to save him.
The Celilos were one of the five
tribes who peacefully ceded to the
United States a strip of territory
stretching from Mt. Adams in Wash-
ington to the Columbia river in Ore-
gon. In return, the government
granted the tribes the right to hunt
and fish forever, and to live off the
reservations. But one trick clafise
In this treaty—a clause granting the
right to hunt and fish to all other
residents of the territory—has de-
prived the Indians of the opportu-
nity to make a decent living out of
the abundance of salmon for which
the Columbia river is famous.
John Whiz, a Yakima Indian who
married into the Celilo tribe, is the
official spokesman for the Celllos.
The tribe sends him to Washington
to plead their case, but, to date, he
has not succeeded in winning for
the Indiahs their demands for a
square deal, Their chief complaint:
The local cannery contracts to buy
salmon at five cents a pound but
always finds reasons for paying
two and three cents upon delivery.
Why Top' Leads Bride
The conventional wedding dress is
white because white has stood for
purity since the earliest days. The
veil has many traditions. Ainong
the. 'Egyptians, the Hindus, the
Arabs, and many other peoples, the
'groom was not allowed td see the
face of his bride until the wedding
day. The veil of today's bride is
caught with orange blossoms. This,
too, is an early custom. It was be-
lieved that the "golden apple"
which Juno gave to Jupiter on their
wedding day was in reality an •or-
ange. Anyway, the modern bride
wears orange blossoms on her wed-
ding veil.
When the bride's father gracious-
ly gives her in marriage, he is hark-
ing back to the days of mrriage
by purchase. After the pros ective
groom had paid the price—and not
before—the father led out the girl
and turned her over to him,
The custom of best man goes back
to ;Mae days of marriage by capture.
When a man went out to capture a
bride he took along his "best man"
or "best friend." This friend had
to be a strong-armed warrior be-
cause it was his duty to hold back
the bride's kin by force and knock
them out if necessary while the
groom carried her, kicking and
screaming—unless clubbed into un-
consciousness—to some place of
safety.
First Rank.
The oldest incorporated bank in
the United States was the Bank of
North America, chartered by con-
gress on November 1, 1781. • De-
scribed as the, first regularly es-
tablished bank in America," it
opened for business in Philadelphia
on January 7, 1782. An earlier bank,
the Bank of Pennsylvania, which
opened in 1780, soon went out • of
business, but the Bane of North
America, long a landmark at Chest-
nut near Third, continued In busi-
ness as a separate institution until
1929, when it merged with the Penn-
sylvania Company for Insurances
on Lives and Granting Annuities.
Dolluss Murdered
Chancellor Engelbert Doliuss of
Austria was inurdaYed in his room
in the Chancellerie, Vienna, Austria,
by Otto Planetta, one of a group of
144 Nazis, who forced their way
into the palace on July 25, 1934, ap-
parently in expectation of capturing
the whole cabinet. They were dis-
lodged and captured a few hours
later. The murderer. and one of thr
leaders were courtmartieled ar d
hanged on July 30.
American Cheeses Good
As Any Imported Brand
Epicures would probably place
the type of cheeseevariously known
as Roquefort, Stilton, Gorgonzola
and Danish Blu, at the top of their
lifts. These four are similar and
owe their characteristic flavor to a
blue mold called' "pencillium"
which marbles the cut surface with
pretty patterns. It is superb cheese;
but so is the best American, prop-
erly treated.
' There are some 18 general types
of cheese produced in the world and
many subvarieties. Cheddar—galled
American in this country—leads
them all in volume of production;
it is made in every country of the
world. The name looks East Indian,
but isn't; the village of Cheddar
is in England and as British as Bow
Bells.
This type makes up the bulk of
the 500,000,000 or more pounds of
cheese made annually in the United
States, and part of the 60,000,000
pounds we used to inaport Most
of the 18 types are made in the
United States, some of them so
well that they are superior to the
originals.
Such excellent Limburg is made
in this country, for example, that
there has been no Limburg cheese
imported for many years. Incident-
ally, it is a Belgian invention, not
German as many people suppose.
Very good Camembert type cheese
is made in Marin county, California.
Our Swiss type cheese is improving
and some of our Roquefort cheese
will bear comparison.
Paperweights Made of
Glass Started in Egypt
Glass paperweights with their cun-
ningly devised circlets and spirals,
florets and figures of brilliant color
were at first made by the glass -
workers in their spare time. At no
time were they produced in com-
mercial quantities. They became
very popular toward the middle of
the Nineteenth century and many
intricate and varied patterns were
produced.
The art of glassmaking spread
from Egypt into Venice and Rome,
from there to Bohemia,, France and
England, and still later to the Unit-
ed States. The last three have re-
duced many of the fine examples we
see today. These have come from
Clichy, Baccart and St. Louis in
France, Nailsea, Stourbridge and
Bristol in England and from Sand-
wich, East Cambridge, Millville,
Pittsburgh, New Bedford and Zanes-
ville in •Ameriea.
There are various styles of orna-
mentation, rnany of them exceeding-
ly beautiful --overlay, fihigee, latti-
einio, chaplet bead, cameo, fruit,
flowers and Vcandy," to mention
only a few. Many of the weights
are signed and dated.
Sneezed Way Into Fame
Miss Juanita Loins, 21 -year-old
resident of Lamar, Ark., who
sneezed more times in succegion
than anyone else in history, will
probably go down in medical annals
as the sufferer from the most acute
attack of hayfever on record.
Miss Lollis sneezed her way to
national fame in the little frame
house of her parents in the small
southwestern town after she had suf-
fered an attack of sneezing on the
morning of October 1, 1940, and kept
it up almost continuously for two
weeks, She had a Slight respite on
the sixth day but this "rest period"
did not last long enough to spoil her
record—or to allow her any rest bie.
fore the attack got going again.
Daring these 14 days of sneezing,
Miss Lollis set several records
which may never be bettered. And
she gained nation-wide publicity for
the little town in which she lived.
For the first time in her life, news-
paper reporters checked on her con-
dition regularly each day, and be-
fore the 'biggeSt sneeze spell in his-
tory," as one reporter called it, was
over, photographers from dozens of
newspapers and national news serv-
ices had swarmed into her room
and taken her picture.

Court Sanctions, Bronx 'Cheer'
The United States Supreme court
has ruled that you can hold street
meetings in Jersey City or pass out
handbills in spite of Mayor Hague's
attempt to suppress such constitu-
tional rights under the guise of
regulations.
The Bronx "cheer" has received
court sanction as a legal mode of
expressing irritation. -Strong
lan-
guage on the telephone does not con-
stitute disorderly conduct even if an
outraged operator complains it is
"foul epithets."
The Queens county, New York, su-
preme court dismissed a lawyer's
suit against Mayor LaGuardia, rul-
ing that the word "bum" was not
slander although abusive and per-
haps All -chosen.

Ivory of the medical corps of the

Queen Elizabeth Had
- First Mahogany Table,
It is quite probable that mahogany
reached England before the Seven-
teenth century in the ships of re-
turning buccaneers or in captured -
Spanish ships, but the traditional
story is 'that Sir Walter Raleigh in.
trodueed it into England by having
a table niade for Queen 'Elizabeth,
lwho had seen and admired the
strange, richly colored wood which.
Raleigh had used in ship repairs.
It is along story from these early
centuries Until the golden age of'
English cabinetmaking in the Eight-
eenth and early Nineteenth cen—
turies, a period when Chippendale.
and the brothers Adam, Hepple-
white, Sheraton and their Ameri-
can contemporaries, Duncan Phyfe,
McIntyre, Randolph and many other -
noted cabinet makers created furni-
ture styles that in beauty and de-
sign and craftsmanship never have -
been surpassed. The use of mahog-
any for the best in cabinetmaking
was established then and so has re-
mained to this day.
Mahogany has a sturdy strength„
that resists decay. It takes on a
patina or mellowness with age that
cannot be reproduced. Chippendale
loved its texture which was so ad-
mirably suited for carving.
In our own country mahogany is
first reported in documents relating
to the Colonial history of the state
of New York, which states "a Span-
ish ship was captured in 1654loaded

Almost a century later, Thomas
Jefferson was writing the Declare -
tion of Independence ou a mahogany
desk.
Canary Only Bird Kept
Solely for Companionship
The canary, found today in every
country on the globe, occupies a re-
markable place, since among our
common domestic birds it alone is
kept and reared solely for the pleas-
ure and companionship that it
brings into our homes. As it does
not produce flesh, feathers or other,
product of commercial value, its
contribution to our well-being comes
entirely in the • form of pleasing
songs and interesting mannerisms.
It joins cultivated flowers in mak.' •
ing attractive the background for
our lives.
The frilled canary, seen perhaps
most often in The Netherlands and
France, has many of the body feath-
ers long and slightly recurved at
the tip, so that the plumage appears
loose and fluffy, almost growing
upside down.
,This type usually has a clear -
yellow color and shows considerable
variation in the extent of frilling.
Can't Take It
The sweet peas couldn't take it.
' Of 15• different species of flowers
carried to an altitude of 25,500 feet
in a United Air Lines Mainliner,
only the sweet peas showed signs
of breakdown.
The flowers, along with other per-
ishables, including serum-, were
taken aloft to study the effect of
varying altitudes on delicate air exe
press shipments.
Tiny wires attached to the petals
and stems led from the forward
and rear baggage compartments to
the passenger cabin where thermo-
couple indicators allowed experts to
study infinitesimal movements.
The ship climbed into a tempera-
ture of 40 degrees below zero where
thermometers inside the heated
baggage compartments registered
37 degrees above to preserve the
blossoms intact despite the rarefied
air. All except the sweet peas sur-
vived.
More Plastic iai Antes
Plastic materials are being used
to a greater extent than ever be.
fore by the motor industry in its
1941 models.
A survey of the new ears reveals
the fact that a glass -like transparent
plastic is now being used for instru-
ment panel lenses in ceetain makes
and models. . .
Other types of plastics are being
employed to embellish the hand-
somely finished one-piece steel win-
dow moldings of the new turret -top
bodies by Fisher and to , decorate
the knobs of the window regulator
handles and cranks controlling the
operation of the no -draft ventilation
system, as well as for dome and
courtesy light lenses.
Other uses to which plastics are
being put by automobile manufac-
turers1 d steering wheels fog-
lanip shells', stop lights, direction
signals and radiator ornaments,
Explosives From Orange Peel
The natural properties of oranges
can be utilized for the manufacture
of powerful explosives, according to
Dr. Walter 1. Fischel of the IlebreW
university in Palestine.
Orange peel, which eontains yeast,
alcohol, sugar and acetone, is now
the subject of extensive experiment
bY scientists of the Hebrew univer-
sity. t American scientists are col-
laborating in the research to make-
- it possible for the orange -peel
source to b'ecome economically
practical.
If a lump of coal can De made to
yield thread for sheer stockings, if
milk can produce a plastic for auto-
mobile bodies, if soy beans will yield
varnish, the time will come, Dr.
Fischel said, when the sun may give
us all the elements of life directly
as it does now indirectly- '
