If riding in someone else's ear and he stops for refreshments, Whose place is it to pay the bill? 2. Should a woman always re- move her hat in a theatre? 3, If a friend has aa'book one wishes to read, is it all right to ask outright to borrow it? 4. Is it proper to talk "shop" while out in society? 5. When dining in a restaur- ant, what should a woman do with her purse and gloves? 6. Should a girl smoke, if she would rather not, just because the other girls in her crowd do? Answers 1. If the host suggested stop- ping, he more than likely expects to pay. However, the proper thing for the guest to d0 is to Offer to pay (and with sincerity), or at least to suggest "Dutch treat," 2. Yes. It is bad form to keep the hat on, no matter how small it may be. 3. No.; one may ask if the book is interesting, but if no offer is made to lend it to you, let the matter drop. 4. Not un- less someone has asked you a question pertaining to your work. Yo'n' work may be very interest- ing to you, aitd even to your frlends, but to talk it continually is in poor taste., 5, Place thein in her lap or on a vacant chair, never on the table, 6. No; she should realize that smoking is a matter of personal taste. No Winter Fair Again This Year Efforts to have the Ontario Provincial Winter Fair staged in Guelph this year have failed, Dr. W. J. 11. Fowler, of Guelph, pre- sident of the fair board of direc- tors, said recently. The great, "farmers' show" bad to be can- celled two years ago when the Department of Defence took over the buildings used here for the fair, as barracks for army units. The buildings have been vacant for some time now, and it was hoped that they might be avail- able for the four-day show early in December, but government officials refused to grant their use. New Shah of Iran Gives Up Fortune Iran's new 21 -year-old Shah has decided to cede all the pos- sessions of his fabulously rich father as a gift to the nation. The new ruler also has pre- pared a general amnesty decree for all political prisoners of the regime of his abdicated father, it was announced. The former Shah, a one -tinge Cossack cavalryman, reputedly was the richest man in Asia when he gave up Itis throne. Almost all of Mazandoran prov- ince was his private holding• and the revenue from monopolies, hotels, motor transport and many kinds of stores and factories bulged the royal purse. Vast sums were banked in his name in the United States and Britain. Seizure of this property was actually decided upon at a secret parliamentary session prior to the taking of the oath by the new Shah who promised to rule as a constitutional monarch. A Chinese proverb that has be- come an unwritten law: "Before you buy, visit at least three mer- chants." 15,000 Parcels To Prisoners of War Dr. F. W. Routley, national commissioner of the Canadian Red Cross, Toronto, said his or- ganization is sending 15,000 par- cels a week to continental Europe for prisoners in enemy occupied territory. The parcels, he said, cost $1.90 apiece to put up and transporta- tion expenses ere $2.50 each. They contain a week's supply of food, giving 3,000 calories a day. Dr. F. Tisdale, of Ottawa, one of Canada's nutrition experts, de- signed the content of the pack- ages so as to give maximum food value in the poundage allowed. War Won't Stop Good Old Custom Canadian soldiers are going to be able to take baths right on the battle field it was indicated by announcement at Military Head- quarters in Toronto that a mobile bath unit would be formed. The unit will supply hot water and soap to men who have been in action and will be equipped to disinfect clothes as well. SEEN AS AXIS RECRUITS King Boris of Bulgaria; pictured, left, inspecting troops, is seen as the latest "junior partner" of the Axis nations. European reports say Russo-I3ulgar'ian friction, phis Nazi bait of rich post-war terri- torial rewards, have swung the Balkan nation to Hitler's side, Nature Supplies Defence Methods Many Protective Measures For Wild Creatures Says Al- lan Devoe, in Reader's Digest Many defence methods and de- vices used in modern war have amazing counterparts in the pro- tective measures evolved ages ago by Nature for creatures of tate woods, fields and sea, Artillery: The bombardier beta tle carries a cannon—a peculiar gland in' its abdomen -and when it tires a blast of evil-enhelling gas accompanied by a bang like that of a tiny Pop -gun, its enemies, predaceous ground beetles and birds, retreat in panic, Grapples: News dispatches re- port that the British have devel- oped a projectile which, upon ex- ploding, releases metal filaments that enmesh a raiding airplane's propeller, Similarly, the parame- cium, a protozoan fotnd in ponds, protects itself by shooting fortis a mass of grappling threads that entangle the foe while the para- mecium escapes. Smoke Screen: To mask itself from a prowling predator that in- terrupts its search for food on the. ocean floor, thesquid ejects a cloud of inky fluid under cover of. which it whisks away to a rock - cranny home portuntil danger passes. ' Camouflage: Of the countless examples of contoutlage in Nature, the spider crab has the most aston- ishing trick, Taking cuttings of seaweed, it chews the ends to give them better parchase, then affixes them among the -hooked bristles that. - grow. on top . of its shell, where they take root and attic - lively conceal the wily crab, Parachutes: The common spider of our woods and meadows clamb- ers up a tree and spins out a long floating filament o.f silk; when this catches the breeze the spider Lets go of its perch, and after it has soared the desired distance it partly reefs in its parachute and thus floats gently to the ground. Air Combat: As the /ttn'sult plane's greater speed and manoeu- .verability enables it to rout the bomber, the hummingbh;il drives large hawks and outer marauders away from its nest by dartiug at thein and aiming its 'enceinte lit- tle beak at their eyes, Ontario .Wild Give Up Taxes Ontario will abandon the in- come and :oorporatiou tax field for the duration at least, it was learn-. ed in authoritative quarters at Queen's Park recently. When the federal government first invaded varied these fields al' taxa- tion the Hepburn gOVernmeilt pre.. tested but now it is learned an amicable arrangement has been made., The province would be .compen• 'sated for loss of revenueon the basis of last year's collections; which amounted to $23,000,000 1'1'0111 corporation taxes and. $0,800,- 000 from income taxation. Trees - officials suggest that the total'col. lected this year might mean a loss of $,5,000,000 to- the province but the fact Is that' the government budgetted for less in' 1942 than in 1041. It is 5150. expected that, Ontario will be compensated by the Dentin- . Jou for loss of 'gasoline tax reven- Soldiers'° Parcels An interesting fact has : been brought to light by the return" re- cently of an Officer from Over- sees, A great many,. parcels arrive in a damaged condition due to.. those at home not packing the contents properly and also not' realizitg the great distance of travel and the number of times the pacica.ge must be handled. And so from thls experience overseas wasborn, an organisations, the "C. A. 0. Parcels Dispatch Reg.", 350 Bay Street, Toronto, who, Por the suns of - One Dollar dispatches a parcel containing three packets of Razor Blades, Two cakes of Soap, Two packets of Chewing -Gum,) alt small lit-' dividuals of. Gum. or Salted Pea- nuts to- 0111 all spare space; 'Shoe Lacos, Chocolate, Oxo and Cig- arettes ,all of these articles being difficult to obtain overseas. Each parcel contains a post card - addressed ready to be sent baelc to the sender in acknowledgment. The idea of tlrese Dollar par- cels has met with ready response, not otily from lndividuals, but from small groups of persons 'arra Or- ganizations warn find - the service a great accommodation, - ' No Central Canada Pork For Maritimes John A: McDonald, Nova Scotia Minister 'of Agriculture, said he approved of the suggestion that shipment eat of orae 1 p from Central Canada into the Maritime Prov- inces be prohibited: "It should act as an added in- centive to our farmers to produce our own requirements," he said. It was announced at Ottawa recently that the banning of pork importations into the Maritimes from Central Canada was one of the measures which received con- sideration by the Canadian Bacon Board in an' effort to boost the exports to Britain. - 1,546 Bags of Mail For Overseas Lost ' The post office department an- nounced recently receipt of word that 1,546 bags of Canadian mail destined for the United Kingdom and leaving the dominion during the last week in August had been lost through enemy action. Included in the shipment were 1,293 bags from the base post office at Ottawa containing mili- tary mail for soldiers overseas. Air Training Plan Praised By Duke The Duke of Kent, back in England from his tour of Canada to study progress of the Com- monwealth Air Training Plan, de- clared in a broadcast that the Dominion can take "special pride in its outstanding success," He said he had been amazed at the growth of the plan. The peo- ple of Britain, he said, have no idea of its magnitude. "Two years ago it was a plan," the Duke said. "Today it is a vital war industry, which com- bines the advantages of mass pro- duction with the most skilful sel- ection and individual training." Profanity Fines For Worthy Cause Not that railwaymen are any more addicted to profanity than the ordinary run of mortals but the Queen's Canadian Fund re- ceived a rather unexpected con tribution recently from a Cana- dian National train crew who un- dertook to fine theihselves every time they uttered a swear word. By mutual consent it was agreed that any member of the crew who made use of a profane word while in the vara would place a penny in a receptacle set aside for the fund. The last week -end on which the crew reached their ter- minal, the receptacle was full to overflowing — it contained nine dollars and fifty-six cents—which went to aid' victims- of German bombs in Britain. War Doesn't Stop Progress of Art More than 200 drawings and paintings by British children have reached the National Gallery- in Ottawa and will go on exhibition today and later be shown in vari- ous Canadian cities., War has not- keen allowed to interfere with the progress of art education and ' cultural. develop- ment of children in England, said Fi. McCurry, Director of the Gal- lery. "Letters and reports show they cling more tenaciously than ever to these values in life."

The young salesman was look- ing very depressed; on his second ' day in his new job, '"Come; Colne!" said the sales manager. "Don't look so down in the mouth, I know it's difficult at first, but you'll soon get into it, When you've had a Iittle more ex- 'perience you'll get along alt right," "it isn't that," said the young man. "When I got home last night I practised that sales talk on my Wife and now I've, got to buy her a new vacuum cleaner:" "We have been married over a year now, and we 'neve'r quahrei. ff a difference of op- - inion arises and 1 am right; Henry always gives in immed- iately." "And if he is right?" "Oh, that hasn't happened yet!" The golfer stepped to the tee and drove off:' ,The ball sailed - straight down the fairway leaped on to the green, dived into the hole. "What have you suddenly gone crazy about?" asked the golfer's wife, who was trying to learn something about tbe. game. "Why, I just did a hole in one?" Yelled the golfer, aviI d,gleam in his eyes, "Did you?" said his wife,-plac- • idly. "Do 1t again, dear. I didn't see you." --v— Good' Samaritan (after an hour's hard work changing a tire for a lady driver): "Well, I hope that spare wilt -take you home." Lady Driver: "I'm sure it will. 1 live only a few houses down the street," —v— .Tommy was doing penance in the corner. Presently he thought aloud, pensively: "I can't heip it if I'm .not per- fect," he complained. "I never beard of more than one perfect boy, anyway." "Who was that?" asked his mo-. thee, thinking to point out a moral, "Papa," came the reply, "when he was little." Joan: "Father, what's a gar- den plot" Father: "The b u g s and worms planning to eat up your stuff," Parliament Will Open November 3 The visits and consultations overseas of Premier King and the Conservative Leader, 11, B, Han- son, will be reflected when Parlia- ment resumes on November 8. Present plans call for recon- vening Parliament on November 3 with the opening of the new session fixed for November 5 or G This was the course followed last year. • It is expected that two or three weeks will be taken up to general review of Canada's wan effort with the first hand information the missions overseas will have produced. The financial appro- priations will suffice till the end of the fiscal year in March. If there is any emergency leg- islation of a budgetary character similar to what was enacted last November, 11 seems certa'n to be in 'the nature of widened restric- tions and the "spend less and save" formula which the Finance Minister is repeatedly emphasiz- ing. An adjournment from early December till February is regard- ed as probable, THAT'S MY CHEW o is ping THESU LFA" FAMILY , Geral -killing "Sulfa" family, Y sul- fanilamide, sultapyridine, sulfa- thiazole, which combat, with am- azing success, 32 types of germs that produce pneumonia and hilt 100,000 Americans a year, are coke by-products. New members of the sulfa family are sulfathlazole and sulfamethylthiazole mortal enemies of dreaded staphylococcus infec- tion of blood stream, fatal in 90% of .all known cases. When the new sulfas were put to work experi- mentally, they cut the mortality rate to 2005. Now sulfaguanidine, recently announced, joins the sul- fa family. A new remedy for burns, promis- - Ing speedier healing and a reduc- tion of scar tissue, was disclosed last fortnight in the Bulletin of the Joints Hopkins Hospital by Dr. Iienneth L. PIckrell, resident surgeon of the Baltimore institu- tion, It is a preparation of sulfa- diazine, one of the new sulfa drugs, The method: a severely burned patient is placed on sterile sheets, sprayed with the solution every hour, and kept warm. The Ire- cJuettcy of sprayiug Is reduced au hour each day. In four Clays a thin scab Is formed, which begins to separate from Cho new skin In ten days. The solution 1s mild enough to bo used on the eyes, and it penetrates the burned area so rap- idly that much of the pain is allay- ed at once. Johns Hopkins surgeons have been so impressed by the solution that it is now being used on all burn patients. Bacteriological War Forseen by v,aKter If Germany begins to loso the war, Hitler will not even stop at bacteriological warfare, Beverly Baxter Member of Parliament, said recently after his arrival from Lisbon on the Yankee Clip- per at LaGuardia Field. "If we get Hitler on the run, he will concentrate on England with th;ngs you never even thought of before," Mr. Baxter said. "If things go badly with him in Russia, he will turn loose a vengeance war on us, 'not stop- ping at baeteriological warfare. After all, the object of Hitler's real hate is England, although he's getting awfully cross at the United States," Why Sholdn't We Give Britain Food Hon. R. B. Hansom, Conserva- tive Leader in the Canadian House of Commons, suggested that Canada might donate food from "Allll o r abundance" to help Britain's war effort. Mr. Hanson interviewed three Cabinet ministers, toured the Houses of Parliament, signed the visitors' ' book at Buckingham Palace and made his food sug- gestion after a conference with Lord_ Woolton, Britain's food minister. "Lord Woolton," said Mr. Han- son, "gave us a closer viewpoint of the food requirements (of Britain). I explored the possi- bility of contributions of food by Canada. With all our abundance why shouldn't we give them food?" Types Faster Than Most People Talk What are probably the world'a fastest fingers belong to Margaret }lemma of Brooklyn, America's super -typist, who pounds out words faster than most bosses talk, says American Magazine. Margaret re- cently copped the world's typing championship in an international contest in Chicago, clicking tiro keys for a solid hour non-stop at 149 words a minute. Her total for tho hour was 45,800 separate strokes —780 per' minute, thirteen per sec- ond, This Is the fastest typing ever recorded for a human being, and It toppled the record holder, AIbert Tangora, from the throne be had occ1pied for seven years. Mar- garet's accuracy in her job in a New Yorlc business firm earned her a trip to Chicago to compete In the novice class last year, and she won, That inspired her to shoot for the big title, and for months site trained an bony a day.
