'Who are you?' asked St, Peter. `We're the fifty German airmen who were shot down today by the R.A,F,', was the reply. Said St, Peter: `Wait, a minute while I have a look at the German co n- 'ntunique,' Afber reading it he came back and announced: 'It says here that only two German air- men were shot down today, So two of you can come in and the rest of you can go to bell." The young man went into the shop and said to the cash. ier: "i want to pay the last instalment on the perambul- ator." The smiling cashier handed him his receipt end asked: "And how Is the baby?" "Oh, I'm feeling fine, thank you," was the reply. According to one of the latest anecdotes from Norway, a young sailor In Bergen was sitting on his front porch reacting a. day-old copy of the London Times when along carte an agent of the Ges- tapo. The mere sight of this news. paper was enough to enrage the German., When he discovered how recent its (late was, his wrath boiled over in gntteral invective. "How did you get possession of that verboten a n d verdant paper?" "Get It?" calmly replied the sailor, "T didn't get It. I subscribe to It." During a natural history examination a small boy was asked which of all the crea, tures eats less food than any other. He replied that It was the moth, because It eats holes, A email, shy man leaned con. fidentlally across the desk at the United States Consulate at Lisbon and asked: "Please, sir, is there any possibility that I could gel entrance into your wonderful country?" . The attache, pressed by thous. anis of such pleas and haggard with sleepless nights, replied roughly: "Impossible now. Come back in ten years." The little re. fugeo moved toward the door, stopped, turned and asked with a watt smile; "Morning or after- noon?" Speed Fiend: "It's great speeding along like this. Don't you feel glad you're alive?" Passenger: "Glad isn't the word. I'm amazed," Ships and Men Pay War's Price War Sinks 1,813 Ships and Takes Toll of 14,859 Lives As the 101st week of the war ended August 9, Associated Press records showed that at least 1,813 • ;hips of all nations had been lost with 14,859 :casualties in the con• filet at sea. Froin the sinking of the 13,581 - ton liner Athenia on Sept, 3, 1939, the day that Britain declared war tin Germany, to the newly reported torpedoing ofthe 3,576 -ton Greek freighter Nikokiis, a known total of 6,829,004 tons of merchant and naval shipping has been sunk or shuttled. This represents an average of two ships each day. The 'tragic toll also includes the listing' of 9,217 persona as missing. The bitter struggle has cost Britain 816 vessels, far more than any other nation, the compilation revealed, and it has been no re- specter of neutrality, for such non. combatants aS the United States, Egypt, Sweden, Portugal . and others have all seenmerchantmen flying their flags sant to the bole tom. "Missed The I3us' While in a .provincial town, Lewis Thompson writes in Cor- onet, Richard Wagner attended a performance of his "Lohengrin" by a troupe of strolling players. To his surprise, the singers and orchestra were definitely above average, but the tenor, as the opera progressed, was becoming increasingly inebriated. By the end of the fourth act, when he was supposed to step into the boat drawn by the white swan and make his exit in this manner, he was so staggeringly drunk that he missed the vehicle—the. swan was pulled off the stage without him, Paying no attention to the inure. murs of the audience, he pulled a watch from his pocket and turn- ing to Elsa, the heroine, he asked in the most matter-of-fact voice: "Pardon me, madam, do you know what time the next swan leaves?" Would You Do Likewise? Yoe .have an appointment with your lady friend at your favorite meeting place but find yourself, at the last minute, unable to keep it. There is no apparent way to let her know. What would you do? Well, here's what a Cana- dian National Telegraphs messen- ger received by way of an assign- ment recently: "Go to the corner of blank and blank streets (a busy intersection) and look for a short, nice looking girl, wearing glasses. Tell her that her boy friend said for her not to wait for him as Inc is unable to keep the appointment but for her to go to his mother's house, She will know where it is." The young lady was found 'and the message delivered, to the satisfaction of all parties.

Although it is often economically impossible to air-condition the en- tire factory room, scientists are studying ways of air-conditioning the worker. One effective method has been to attach a flexible hose to the back of a worker's coveralls and run the tube to a .cooling unit. When the cooler was switched on, it pumped air at 80 degrees Fah- renheit and 50 per cent relative humidity through the hose into the garment, and workers in such ventilated suits were practically free of perspiration at tempera- tores up to about 100 degrees, Equally good results were obtain- ed by shooting blasts of cooled air through nozzles placed close to the worker. —0 -- DOUBLE `l'LAY ON WAX ' Tine RCA Manufacturing Co. announced a new .ephonograph record changer, called "the Magic Brain," that plays .both sides of a record without turning it over.
