Despite Axis attacks on U.S. shipping, such as the Suez raid that damaged the American merchant*
man Arkansan, and the Red Sea sinking of the Steel Seafarer, supplies for the British are getting
through. Photo above, just received in New York by clipper, shows an. American tank being unloaded
at an Egyptian port.

WEIGH?
.Because hydrogen and helium
are lighter than air, and because
they can bo used to raise balloons
and dirigibles from the earth, it
might be thought that they have
no weight. Besides, after build-
ing a vast structure of metal and
fabric weighing many tons, it
Would seem absurd to attempt to
make it float in the air by adding
something weighing several tons
more. However, filling the huge
gas bag of the dirigible with hy-
drogen will do the trick, in spite
of the fact that the 8,000,000 and
over cubic feet of gas required
may weigh nine tons.

Two acquaintances were cola
brating a reunion with liquid re-
freshments in a hotel room when
there were loud poundings at the
door and a shrill female voice was
heard yelling: "Let me in, you
wretch!"
"heavens, that's my wife," whis-
pered one of the men. "She'll kill

"Where'll we hide?" said the
other fellow. "There's no hiding
place here,"
"We'll have to go out -through
the window," answered the exciter!

The second fellow went to the
window, opened it and peered out,
"We can't jump out of here," he
said.
"Why? asked. the first man,
"We're on the thirteenth floor,"
he explained.
"This is no time to be super-
stitious," said the first man. "Go
ahead and jump."
"What's that piece of string
tied round your finger for
Bill?"
"That's a knot. Forget-me-

Two men on a cargo steamer
were comparing notes as to their
occupations before, the war. One
had been a porter and the other
had been a magician.
The porter said to the magician:
"What can you do?"
"1 eau make things disappear.
I'll show you," replied the magic-
ian.
Just then a toatpedo hit the ship
and sunk icer, The two men were
flung into .the water. They scram-
bled on to a raft. The porter look-
ed around with disgust, and, see-
ing no sign of the fillip, he said
to the magician: "I siuppose you
think that's tunny?"

he hadn't written home often en-

"You promised tae write every

sternly.
"Yes, father,"
"An' even when I wrote tae ye,
enclosing a stamp for a reply, ye
didna' write?"
"No, fabber; I Maine' the time."

A fellow got on the bus with a
hundred -pound bomb under his arm
and sat down.
"What's that you've got on your
lap?" asked the conductor.
"It's a delayed action bomb I'm
taking to the police station," came
the answer.
"Lumme," said the conductor,
"You don't want to carry a thing

Leaflet "Bombs"
Sifting down silently and in-
visibly at night to be picked up
in the morning, or glinting against
the sunlit sky in a disintegrating
cloud, propaganda leaflets con-
tinue to "bomb" civilian and.
soldier alike on both sides of the
war in Europe, Africa and the
Near East.
They were put to use in the
very first moments of the war
and have been more or less stead-
ily employed ever since. It is im-
possible to measure the effect
they may have had. Both sides
attempt in the leaflets to plant
seeds of suspicion concerning
those in high places, to implant
fear, to 'spread rumor, to slow
down civilian war effort, to da
mage soldiers' morale — at the
most optimistic to inspire open
' revolt against existing regimes.
As in military tactics this war
has shown great 'strides, so has it
in the use of the psychological
weapon—hitting the people whore
they think and feel.
China shipped 262,129 dozen
pairs of embroidered woollen
gloves or mittens to the United
States last year.

Get Coal Now
Or Go Without
ana ans are warned by the
coal administrator of the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board to order
their Winter's fuel immediately,
if they want to be sure of ade-
quate supplies of coal,
Despite the appeal for early
buying issued in June by Coal
Administrator J. McG. Stewart,
Summer coal deliveries in urban
areas of Ontario and Quebec
were below the totals for the
corresponding months of 1940.
"Munitions, which are being
shipped in ever increasing vol-
ume, must have the firstal
c 1 on
our transportation systems, and '
there will be less space available
in future for purely civilian
goods," explained the coal admin-
istrator.. "By placing your order
for coal now, even though im-
mediate delivery may not be pox-
sible in all cases, you will enable
the Government to make the most
efficient use of all transportation
facilities."
Ireland's War -
Time Attitude
Pro -British Sentiment Is In-
creasing in
n -creasing -!n Ireland, says the
New York Post' a
If Hitler tries to invade Dngland
he will undoubtedly attack Eire at
the same time, The invasion might
even; begin with a landing In Eire
aimed' to secure a roundabout step-
ping :stone. •
Eire say's she will fight. 18 Hitler
attacks, and of course she will. But
because Eire has stuck to 'an isola-
tionist,policy of neutrality, neither
Britain: nor tlie United States has
been piilling to give her aims. She
would .. fight, ' but 'even Irishmen
can't meet ,panzer .divisions with
their 'bare hands.
Therefore dispatches telling of
the rapid growth of" pro -British
sentiment among the Irish are ex-
cellent news. It is estimated that
more than: 80 per cent, of the
people are'pro-British; and that a.
small group within. the Biro gov-
ernment is trying to persuade De
Valera" ti ask the United States
for protection against the Nazi
threat.
It is highly unlikely that we
would help Hire as long as she re-
fuses to let Britain use her naval
bases. But every step should be
taken to help Dire take her proper
place in the alliance against Hitler.'
Perhaps the change in Irish seatle
ment baa been pronounced enough
to permit anti -Nazi co-operation
between England, Dire and the Un-
ited States.
Let's find out. We can think of
no better way to begin -the inquiry
than an invitation from President
Roosevelt to Permier de Valera to
meet end talk things over.
"How it oth The
Little E,'usy Bee"
Migratory 13eekeepers Engage
In One of Strangest Occu-
, potions
Most humans have finished their
annual vacations, but the bees are
just starting theirs. The white clo-
ver has matured and the honey is
in the hive ready for harvest. With
no more nectar to gather, the bees
go into hibernation.
But in the south the season is
turned about. Men nogaged in one
of the strangest occupations in
the country are getting ready to
start another year. These are the
migratory beekeepers, men who
literally drive Colonies of bees
across the country.
Using big trucks stacked with
hives, the beekeepers follow the
blossoming cycle through the south
and southwest. They start in the
orange groves, then go on to
clover, alfalfa and sage. These men
raise bees for the honey harvest.
Another odd occupation is rais-
ing "package bees." This also
is done in the south, for the bene-
fit of the whole country. These ilea`;
are literally "packaged" and sold
by the pound for shipment to farms
at the proper season, so that crone
may be pollenated. Orchardists are
aitiong the greatest users,
A five -pound package will con-
tain more than 20,000 bees and
sells for 44 or so without a queen.
A queen costs about $1 more, A
standard hive of bees will contain
six or eight pounds at the start
of the season,
