But they work according to their own rules and the most important is that harvesting is fun. A bove an -accordion player supplies music while they work. The wagon is loaded with corn already gathered. „ • HAVE - YOD HEARD? IIAVE YOU HEARD? This story won first prise in a competition run by an American periodical for stories of brevity and dramatic content.

The telegram read: "Bob killed lion hunting,—Fred," Elvins, overcome with grief, wird back: "Send him home.--• Elvina." Some weeps later a large pack- ing case arrived from Africa. in- side wasa lion. Elvins sent a tele- gram: "Lion received. Must be mistake, Send .Bob.—Lrlvina." Back from Africa came the re- ply: "No mistake, Bob i11 lion.— Fred." —v— A drunk was walking along the curb with one foot on the sidewalk and the other in the gutter, relaters Reader's Digest.

The films are plain black and white. They are taken with an ordinary camera, developed by or- dinary processes, and projected on the screen by an ordinary ma- chine. The difference comes from two lenses, one fitted on the camera that takes the photos, the other fitted on the projector. The colors are supplied in this projection lens, actually being mixed in the beans of light that casts the pictures on the screen. It is done so simply that one noted German professor of optics, when he saw the pictures, sighed: "It's another case of Columbus and the egg. Why didn't we think of it ourseves?" The colors are strikingly natur- al, I saw, for example, a boxing snatch in a Paris arena. The slug- gers' bodies as in stature, were much whiter titan their sunburned faces. Beads of perspiration of the boxers stood out clearly. Roux keeps the nature of his lenses a secret, except to say that he is using the principles of paral- lax, This is. a common astron- omical word, describing the dis- placement of an object when seen from two different angles. More Arms Vital For War Succ-'ss. Speed -Up Necessary In Bri- tish and United States War Production British and American war pro- duction, moving at its presentca- pacity, will be unable to meet the demands for equipment on the pre- sent fighting fronts and the calls from other nations for arms, in- formed persons in London, Eng- land, said recently. The strategy of the war is more and more based on production and the need is intensified by the Sov- iet losses of raw material and heavy industrial plants as the re- sult of German drives in the south- ern Ukraine. The demands of Russia and oth- er nations go all the way from fighter aircraft and heavy tanks to bayonets and tent pegs ,it Is now disclosed. Russia and China are snaking the most urgent appeals of the present belligerents for supplies, it was said, but other nations asking immediate aid it bolstering their armaments include the Nether- lands East Indies, the Malay States, Turkey, and Portugal. None of these latter is a bel• ligerent but most are to be classed as `probelbles," informed sources said. Britain not only has its soldiers at home to equip, it was pointed out, but also its armies in India, the Middle East, and In the Far East et Singapore, EFFECT OF INCREASING SPEEDS ON MILEAGE LIFE OF TIRES 40 m.p.h. 50 m.p.h. 60 m.p.h. PERCENT OF NORMAL TIRE MILEAGE RETURNED AT INCREASING SPEEDS Tread rubber wears out at a normal rate at 30 -mile -an -hour average driving speeds. Higher speeds burn up, the rubber faster, thus reducing mileage life of tires, To help motorists conserve rubber for national defense needs, tire development engineers of The Fire- stone Tire & Rubber Company are releasing the above data to .show that excessive wear at 40 miles per hour is equivalent to a waste of 22 per cent of the normal tread mileage. At 50 miles per hour, the waste rubber is almost double that sacrificed at the 40 -mile -per -hour speed, Normal speeds mean normal wear and low tn!leage cost of tires, Six Men Smoke For Six Months A Worthy Successor to Tra- ditlonal'Br!ar Found in Eeng- land Six sten sat in London for six months smoking pipes made from strange new woods. They were in search of a succes• sor to the traditional bruyere, pop- ularly known as briar. It grew in Algiers, and, after being condition. ed int France, was shipped to Jitng- land to be made into pipes. When the fortune of war cut oft supplies, some new material had to be found, so the six smokers of London smoked steadily ahead, seeking the wood which seemed to their expert tongues to be worthy to take the place o1 briar. After trying out woods from many guar• tern of the globe they have found In England one with all the quali- ties of briar yet completely 'dffor- ent in appearance. 1t is non -porous, it resists heat,. It is tough and tasteless. A new method of curing the wood known as the cherry cure, has been worked out in practical nanufaet uriug detail and already this "cherry cure" pipe is being export- ed to many parts of the world, and in particular to Canada, South Af- rica and the United States; in fact ' the limit Of supply is set only by the allocation of essential materials such as vulcanite which is Import• ed and, is also in big demand for war work. Canadians Raise Streamlined Hogs Canadian farmers are keeping their hogs in fine condition so as to be able to fill the huge bacon order placed by the British gov- ernment. Although the average weight of American hogs has in- creased, sharply since last -sum- nter, the average weight of Cana- dian hogs has remained at the same level. The American farm- ers are feeding their hogs to get them• at top weight to take advan- tage of the good prices now paid. Some live stock owners said that average weight of the hogs mar- keted this year was the highest since August, 1939. The Canadian farmers are plac- ing their hogs on the English market and if the bacon is too heavy the English won't buy; it. The Americans are feeding their hogs heavily, but their market ,is mostly for home consumption, The Canadian farmers would not benefit by feeding their hogs in this style, as they would not be allowed the hog subsidy and also the price would be at a lower level than that paid for No. 1 grade bacon. Hors D'Oeuvres "Literary" Style To occupy the brief interval be- tween ordering and' service; of the firstitem in a meal, teading'neat- ter is provided on all menu card covers in use on dining cat's of the Canadian National Railways in- cluding those services operatedon the Grand Trunks Western lines.t Material used in those literary hors d'oeuvres covers a wide range or Canadian subjects, economic, historic'. and scenic, Collected in one volume these, briefs, from pre- sent and -past series, would make a handy encyclopedia of inform- ation concerning Canada. A new issue of cards prepared under direction of W. W, Swinden, General 'Superintendent of Sleep- ing and Dining Oat' Department, Canadian National Railways, is now in use. These cards are.' illus trated by reproductions of natural color photographs depicting scenes as far apart as the Lions' Gate Bridge, Vancouver, B.C., and Hope- well Rocks, Sheeody, N,B. Other illustrations indicate the beauty of Snow' Dome in Jasper National -- Park, and the choice situation of the Chateau Laurier In Ottawa, ' The accompanying text 10 each instance gives a comprehensive description of city and cease. Each bill of fare begins with a capital "V" for - Victory and car- ries the Morse symbol of the now 50 readily recognized three dots and a dash. Canadian National Railways Revenues The gross revenues for the all- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways for the ten day period end- ing August 31, 1941, were $8,- 580,137 as compared with $7,- 361,469 for the same period of 1940, an increase .of $1,218,668 or 16.G%. R.A.F. Ranks The Duke of Kent holds the rank of Air Commodore. For those who are interested in know- ing how high that is, we may say that the R.A.F. ranks, starting from the top are: Marshal, Air Chief Marshal, Air Marshal, Air Vice -Marshal, then Commodore, which is just one ahead of Group Captain. Air Commodore corre- sponds to Brigadier in the army. • 3ni3t ® yyt �tSn Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. What are some of the common expressions to avoid in conversa- tion? 2. Is it necessary to send a gift when one receives an announce• meat of a gir'l's engagement? 3, is it permissible to use hotel stationery when accepting or re• gretting a formal invitation? 4. Is it proper for a ntau to smoke while walking along the street with a woman? 5, Should one try to keep the right-hand margin of a letter even? 6. When should a woman re- move her wraps when dining in the restaurant of a hotel? ANSWERS 1. One's personality is reduced to a minimum if he persists in em- ploying such words as "O.I{" for "all rghf ; "yeah" for "yes"; "kid for "child"; "gets my goat" for "annoys me"; up to you" for "It's for you to decide";'sure" for "yes" or "certainly"; and "1 don't get you" far "1 don't understand." People of refinement, and especial- ly women do not use these expres- sions, 2. No. 3, No; personal stationery alone is suitable for this put':ppse. 4. No; it shows a lack of respect: to the•woman, especially it she is ono who also smokes, The fact that convention does not yet allow a Woman• of breeding to walk along the street smoking a cigaret should prohibit a man of good taste from exercising Itis 'Eight" while with her, « 5: Yes; while it is usually um even, care should be taken not to run the lines too near the edge of the paper. ,It should have some balance with the left-hand margin. 6.

Japan's Aircraft Production Low Japan's First Line Air''. Strength About Five Thous- and Planes - Japan's i`aiir industry is woeful ly, weals and her air - force is -of low offeusie strength." Lucien - Zacharoff, aeronautics authority, writes in the September issue of the magazine "Aviation. He. questions whether the. Jap. anese air force would be a factor . in defending its own cities. The first-line air strength he. places at no more than ' 5,000 planes and possibly at only 3,000. IIe. 'says the island empire's per- sonnel is probably - 5,000. "It sounds incredible," he writes, !'that Japan's army and navy air -training schools are gra- duating a total of much fewer than 1,000 pilots a year. "The quality of the$r education may be appraised by the fact;ad- niitted by okio censors; that even in peace -time Japanese military and commerical fliers have the highest accident rate in the world." Most of the leading Japanese military aircraft types are called obsolete or obsolescent by Zaclta- roff, who adds that Japan's cur- rent production of military plants of all types, including trainers, is about 250 a month. Current United States produc- tion, as announced by the Office of Production IVlanagenent, is about 1.500. The writer rates Far East So- iet air contingents as more power- ful than Japan's and Dutch -Bri- tish air power in the Pacific as greater than that of the Japanese navy. Long War For • The Russians? How seriously the Soviets are counting on a long war is indi- cated by orders placed in the United States which cannot be filled for eight months. One ardor of particular interest reveals their plans for transport- ing tanks by air. They have made the flat assertion that their trans- port planes are larger than our Douglas planes, and are capable of lifting and carrying a 15 -ton tank. Apparently, the Russians not only intend to be fighting eight months from now, but to be tak- ing the offensive. Also it would - appear that German claims of having annihilated the Soviet air force are entirely unfounded. Whence Comes The Swordfish? Nearly 23,000 hundredweights of swordfish, those fine big food fish which carry their own wea- pon with them, were landed last year by Comedian fishermen from Nova Scotia water's, but where they came from is something else again. Where these sword -bear- ers are spawned is one of the questions which puzzle scientists. The swordfish is a big, swift, powerful creature, sometimes run- ning several hundred pounds in weight. It is distinguished by a sward which it thrusts out before it. Actually, the sword is a pro- longation of the jaw and the fish can use it with great power, even driving it through the bottom of a fishing boat. Heavy Toll Taken Of Enemy Planes An Air Ministry tabulation, on the second anniversary of the de- claration of war, :placed Axis losses for the first two years of war at 8,020 planes and British losses at 8,089' planes. An incomplete list of losses in various theatres was given as:— Over and around Great Britain •—Axis, 3,629, .Britain 884, Over Germany and occupied territory — Axis 690, Britain 1,334. Middle East—Axis 2,087, Brit- ain 383. Western Front in 1939-40 — Axis 957, Britain 379. These figures, representing only losses in fighting with Brit- ain, do not include Axis losses on the Russian front. Eat Your Meals And Enjoy Them "Clean up your plate; lots of little boys in Europe are going hungry!" Twenty-five years ago the version was: "Think of those starving little Belgians." And even then we couldn't see any mire sense in the grim reminder than did the stuttering small fry to whom it was addressed. We doubt the wisdom of appealing to a child's appetite by reminding him that other children need food. Dubious social implications apart, motivation like this puts the wrong emphasis on eating—eat- ing is a natural function and the right emphasis is on enjoyment of it. A wind velocity of 231 miles an hour was reported in 1934 atop Mount Washington, New Hamp- shire, Canada Plans Plastic Planes New Type Aircraft Await Decision of R,C,A.F, Manufacture of all -wood and fal - ric airplanes of the so-called "plastic" type niay be the next step in Canada's expanding air- craft production program, if the necessary approval is forthcoming from Royal Caandian Air Force officials, An all -wood Anson fuselage, as- sembled at the air force operation- al headquarters at Roelccliffe has been exhaustively tested and prov- eu, delivering about 30. miles an hour greater speed than that of the orthodox Ansons now in gen- eral use, These fuselages are not plastics in the generally understood sense of the word, since they are not moulded from a composition but aro made of laminated woods hell together by a phenol -formaldehyde - resin substance and assembled under tremendous air pressure. Lightness of aircraft so manufac- tured gives a greater carrying ca- pacity of gasoline, armament or personnel. Raw material is readily available. They are quickly matle and, presumably as durable as could be desired, production offic- ials said, The Perfect Wife W. M. Stallings thinks he has found a fisherman with a perfect wife. "The man," said Stallings, "was sitting on a box fishing on a hot day. His wife held an um- brella over him with one hand, fanned him with the other." Read This - Dresden, Ontario, August 23, 1941.
