1. When It is necessary for a
person to blow his ilese, in corna
pany, should he apologize?
2. Is it ever permissible to
elbow or push year way through
crowd:'?
3. Should a hostess issue two
sets of invitations for a dinner
dance?
4. Is it the man's or the
girl's privilege to suggest how the
evening should be spent when
no previous arrangements have
been made?
5. Is it necessary for a bridge
hostess always to have a new
deck of cards on the table?
6. What is the customary tip
for a checkroom attendant?
Answers
1. No; but try to make the
performance as quiet and unno-
ticeable as possible, Do not imi-
tate a foghorn. 2. No, try to
avoid brushing against others. If
you will notice the type of per-
son who does this, you will have
aro desire to put yourself in that
class. 3. Yes; one set is sent to
those invited to both dinner and
dance, the other set to those in-
vited to dance only. 4, It is
courteous for the man to ask the
girl where she would like to go.
But a girl should be considerate
where expense is concerned.
5. The bridge hostess should have
two fresh decks of cards on each
table. 6. Ten cents is the usual
tip.

'We've now come to Mr

s Brown arose slowly as those
about the banquet table made a
weak but polite attempt at ap•

While doing a bit of shopping,
Mrs. Jones thought she'd take
hubby a little present. The clerk
at the men's counter tried to be
helpful.
"What about a tie, madam?"
he said.
"No; he has a beard."
"A pullover, then?"
"No; it's a long beard."
"I see; madam," said the sales
man wearily. "Do you think a
pair of spats would show?"
A movie actress was ap-
' plying for a passport.
"Unmarried?" she was ask-

"Occasionally," she ans-

A man travelling in South.
America entered a shop in the
capital of a small State to buy
a watch and chain.
The watchmaked wrapped up
the articles and with them a re-
volver.
"I say," observed the aston-
ished traveller, "I didn't want a
revolver."
The watchmaker said: "Why,
you've bought a gold watch! You
mean to keep it, don't you?"

Gold Production
Tops $200,000,000
Metals Controller Reveals
Record Dominion Annual Out.
put
Canadian gold production has
been increased to more than
5200,000,000 annually in a gen-
eral "mobilization" of the Do-
minion's mining resources behind
the Empire's war effort, George
C. Bateman, controller of metals
for the Canadian Ministry of
Munitions and Supply, disclosed
in an address in New York last
month.
Mr, Bateman pan re 1
cal ed that in
1914 the Dominion produced only
$16,000,000 worth of gold and
that officials in Ottawa were
considering a general shutdown
of gold mines in order to release
men for "more important" work.
AIDS FROM EXCHANGE
"Today," he said, "the output
of our gold mines is the greatest
single factor in producing dollar
exchange, badly needed for the
purchase of munitions and to
maintain Canada's unbroken re-
told of always meeting its obli-
gations."
Two Politicians Discuss Agreement on Power Terms
' Ilon. C. D. Howe and Premier Mitchell Hepburn are shown as the
federal minister met with provincial authorities bo reach an agreement
on the power phase of the proposed 8,1. Lawrence waterway. Both Mr.
Howe. and Mr, Hepbut'n.str•essed the cordiality of the neeting:which
took place at Toronto.
Resourceful Crime
One of. the most ingenious and
also meanest crooks discovered
during 1940, says "Canadian In-
surance", was one in Syracuse,
N.Y., who was fond of giving
dinner parties. During the parts
ies he left his wife to entertain
the guests then went out and
looted their homes.
In Portland, Ore:, a "Mr. Wa-
douski" telephoned a welder, as-
serting that some one had been
tampering with his safe and had
jammed the mechanism. The wel-
der came over, opened the safe
and received five dollars for his
work. "Mr. Wadouski" then
emptied the safe and departed
with $1,000.

GIVE SHELTER TO HOMES
Under the prairie „farm rehabi-
litation
program, trees are being
established near many, thousands
of dugouts. Manydams have been
completed. Stout tree growths,
like carragana, provide shelter in
sections where water reservoirs
are established and make pos-
sible the growing .of protected
gardens and other types of trees -
which would not flou±ish if ex-
posed to erairie winds when new-
ly planted.
Dr. Archibald said ash, maple,
and carragana were being used,
with trees less well adapted to
prairie conditions often planted
within the protection of hardy
carragana:

Lenin, cast in 'shimmering, stain-
less steel, will crown it. The
main hall of this colossal build-
ing will seat 25,000 persons, and
an adjacent hall more than 6,-
000. The ceiling of the interior
dome will be 800 feet from the
ground, and the building will be
equipped with 120 lifts, 60 es-

halls, club rooms, galleries, mus-

chives.

How Can I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY (.
Q. How can I treat a boil?
A. It is claimed that the skin
of a hard-boiled egg will work
wonders. It will draw- out the
matter and relieve the soreness
within a few hours. Peel the egg
carefully, wet the skin, and ap-
ply to the affected part.
Q. How can I clean white en-
ameled kitchen utensils in which
food has burned?
A. Put a quantity of soap
powder and boiling water into the
vessel and let it standfor three
or four days. All blackness wiII
then wash off readily with a soft
cloth, without injury to the en-
amel.
Q. How can I make an oak
stain?
A. Mix one quart of boiled
linseed oil, three gills of turpen-
tine, six tablespoonfuls of .raw
umber and six tablespoonfuls of
whiting.
Q. How earl' I take care of
gilt frames?
A. The .gilt frames may be re-
stored by rubbing them with a
sponge moistened with turpen-
tine. The white of an egg, ap-
Plied with a brush, will also clean
them. Very soiled gilt frames
can be made to look like new
by 'washing with a . solution of

been added -enough sulphur to

Tests of Processing Methods
In Northern Ontario Success-

Mining and processing of lig-

kawana, 126 miles north of
Cochrane, is planned by late
1941, G. W, Nixon, industrial
commissioner of the Temiskaming
and Northern Ontario Railway,
believes.
100,000,000 TONS DEPOSIT
Early tests of processing meth-
ods to reduce the moisture con-
tent of the lignite have been pro-
nounced satisfactory and it now
is considered to be only a 'natter
of ?eciding the exact processing
method to obtain the best fuel
value economically.
Tests have been conducted by
the National Research Council
and by officials of the Ontario
Government and of the T. and
N. 0. Railway. They have in-
cluded. the use of the lignite in
railway locomotives equipped
with grates of a type capable of
utilizing the fuel, although the
tests were discontinued during
the severe winter months. '
The deposits are estimated to
contain about 100,000,000 tons of
lignite.

Hospital Care
Plan Develops
Considerable interest in plans
reported under way for a Plan for
Hospital `Care . throughout On-
tario, was expressed last week
by officials of the Health League
of Canada at its headquarters in
Toronto. It was understood that
the Plan would be under the aus-
pices of the Ontario Hospital As-
sociation.
It was pointed out that a sim-
ilar plan is now entering its third
successful year at Winnipeg,
where more than 10 per cent of
the inhabitants were en, olied as
subscribers, and that all reports
point to its having a decided and
beneficial influence on the health.

"Any scheme", said a physician
attached to the League "which
will snake it possible for the low-
wage earner to avail himself of
adequate hospital treatment, not
as a recipient of "charity" but as
a matter of right for which he
has paid, is to be welcomed.
When, at almost imperceptible
cost to himself, he can ensure
the same advantage for his wife
and family, it may be looked upon
as a distant humanitarian ad -

Comcemunity Effort for Self -Help
According to details prepared
by a committee of the Ontario
Hospital Association, the Ontario
plan would follow those approved
by the American Hospital Asso-
ciation and now operating in many
centres of the United States. It
would be a non-profit, com-
munity effort based upon 00-09-
er'ative, self-help. Financial
prosperity of the Plan would
mean, not dividends to stock-
holders, but increased benefits to
subscribers.
The Plan calls for the enrol-
ment of employed workers in
groups at the lowest possible
monthly rate of subscription
compatible with actuarial sound-
ness. By arrangement with the
employer this weekly or monthly
fee could be deducted front
wages.
In return, the worker would be
entitled to complete hospitaliza-
tion for himself or any member
of his family in case of need, and
would have the assurance that the
hospital bill would be paid by the
Plan without financial worry or
burden to himself,
