Montreal Is Quite A City One thousand miles from the Atlantic, the, harbor of Montreal thrives busily for eight months of the year. After New York, it is the leading seaport of the continent and the greatest wheat - exporting centre in the world. Its grain elevators can hold 12,000,- 000 bushels. Besides a floating dry-dock 600 feet long and 135 feet wide.which can accommodate vessels up to 25,000 tons, Mon, tread" harbor has 81/4 miles of wharves and 65 miles of harbor railway track. Montreal is the headquarters of the Canadian National Railways, the largest railway system on the North American continent. U. S. Alu'aninuni Drive Successful The United States -wide alu- minum collection campaign yield- ed an estimated 11,835,139 pounds of scrap, defence officials have announced—a total equiva- lent to the amount of aluminum needed in 1,900 fighter planes or 350 four -motored bombers. The most powerful anti-aircraft searchlights can throw beams vis- ible five and one-half miles. Cost Of Living On The Upgrade Price of Food Largest Factor -In Increased Coat of Living It costs 5112.80 today to buy for the Oanailian family what you bought for 5100 in August, 1939, and the increase is 'largely due to upturns in food Irricos, Experts of the Dominion Bureau of Statisties who probed the cost - of -living question pretty thorough- ly estimated that at least 56.90 of the extra $12.80 needed to main- tain in August, 1:941, the budget, of August, 1939, is -due to higher food. pricers, Here is how they divided up the remaining 55.90 'bents which' is be- ing spent today as compared with two years ago: Clothing $1.801 fuer and lighting' 70 cents; rent, $1;10; home furnishing and ser- vices $1.20, and miscellaneous items $1:10. Pond advances ranged from a 13 percent decline in potatoes to a 49 per cent increase iu 'butter. Main increases were, dairy pro- ducts 24.5 per cent; eggs 24.7 per cent; meats and fish, 20,9 per cent; cereals 11.7 per cent; dry groceries '35.5 per cent; vegetables 2.8 per cent and fruits, 18'.8 per cent. • Fuel meantime advanced 11,6 per cent. .Rents jumped 5,7 per cent, and clothing moved upward 10 to 16 per cent. Price. changes In furniture, floor coveriup and tex- tile furnishings accounted for the 13,3 per cent advance in home furnishings and services while in- creased costs iu health mainte- nande, Personal care, transporta- tion, recreation and insurance boosted miscellaneous items 4.7 per cent. Iceland Grows Tropical Fruits The Bugle, publication of the United States Army Occupation Forces in Iceland, recommended that Americans who do not be- lieve in miracles visit the garden show at Reykjavik and see the banana tree, grapes and melons grown in Iceland. The garden show, featuring tit- hibits of fruits and vegetables grown in hot -houses heated with Trot spring water, is the current attraction here. STRACHAN HALL, TRINITY COLLEGE, TORONTO The new buildings of Trinity College at Toronto have been formally opened and are now occupied by this year's students. There is a very heavy registration in the Freshman Class. This illustration shows the new Dining Hall called Sirachan Hall after the Founder of Trinity College. The new buildings also include a complete equipment of bedroolits for men students as well as Common Rooms, Recreation Rooms, etc. Canadian National Railways Revenue Net revenues for the month of August, 1941 increased by $1,- 603,551 as compared with the month of August, 1940 according to the monthly statement of op- erating revenues, operating ex- penses and net revenues issued recently at headquarters of the Canadian National Railways all- inclusive system. Net revenue for the first eight months of the present year am- ounted to $42,196,254 compared with $24,040,849 during the simi- lar of 1940 an increase of period, $18,155,405, 0, Operating nevenues for Aug- ust, u -ust, 1941, were $25,808,928 com- pared with $21,220,188 in Aug- ust 1940. Operating expenses for August were $20,637,196 as com- pared with 517,552,007 in Aug- ust, 194(1 The net revenue of $5,171,732 for • August, 1941 compares with $3,668,181 for August, 1940. For the eight months of 1941 operating revenues amounted to $193,179,858 compared with, $157,296,771 in the correspond- ing period of 1940. Bets on Russia A delayed despatch advised re- cently that Ralph Ingersoll, edi- tor of PM, had arrived at Ankara from Moscow on his way back to the U.S.A. with a report on the Battle of Russia. He told a United Press correspondent that' the U.S.S.R. "cannot be beaten and may, with American and Bri- tish equipment, turn the tide and smash Ger'lnany., "Loss of Leningrad, Kiev, and Odessa wouldn't affect the. Rus- sian war effort—that is if they lose those cities'—while it seems unlikely that the' Germans ever will reach Moscow." Improvement In Canada's Exports Some Figures On Canada's Export Position Given by The Windsor Daily Star Canada's improved export po 1 - Lion is reflected in the figures for August, which set the total at 5147. 909,000 o' a gain of more than $37,000,000 over the correspond- ing month of last year. While..this emphasizes the growing agricul- tural and industrial itnporta,nee of Dominion, 1Y ld the D t i of ever it wou , k assumethatiti be a mistake S to "all velvet" for this countsY Some of the millions included are no more than bookkeeping entries. The month's exports to Britain, for instance, are valued at $01,519,- 000, of which a large part, and per- haps all, was financed with Can- adian funds. With this, of course, there is anti can be no objection, as Canadians generally welcome the opportunity, to perform this service for the Motherland, 'which at the same_time•is a service for themselves. The increased exports to the United States are another notable feature of the August statistics, They amounted to $52,750,000, a gain of more than $10,000,000, and brought the eight -mouth total to $304,556,000. The increase of al- most 590,000,000 for this period has added materially to the supply of American dollars.. available for purchase of supplies across the border.. The balance of trade is against us, as far as the United States is concerned, but • on the whole the outlook at this stage is nothing to be discouraged about. Between 100,000 and 160,000 acres in •'England have been re- claimed for cultivation .since the start of the•war.

Two' little ,'toddlers couldn't re- sist the temptation to explore the newly built air-raid shelter. Just as they disappeared iirside a po- • liceman came along. "Who's inside there?" he asked sternly. For a few moments there was a tense silence, Then, 'when he repeated his question, there came a reply in a 'shrill, nervous voice: "Hardly anybody, mister." For; his gallantry a Scottish soldier was given a decora- tion. ' A week or so later a pal asked him: "And what does the wife think of your medal, Sandy?" "She doeena kenyet," was the reply. "It's no' my turn to. write." Ole Olson came into a Minne- sota village one day and inquired at a drug store if they had any "squirrel" whisky. • "No," said the clerk, "but I can slip you a little "Old Crow." "Aye don't vent to fly," said the Swede, "Aye just vanit to yump around .a little." Customer: "I've come back tobuy the car I was looking at yesterday." Salesman: "Fine. Now tell me, what was the one dominating thing that made... you decide to buy this car?" Customer: "My wife." Three Canadian soldiers sleep- ing in a tent in an English camp were awakened by a terrific crash not far away. "What was that — thunder or bombs?" asked one of them. . "Bombs," was the laconic ans- wer. "Thank heaven for that!" chivied in the third. "I thought we were ' going to. have • more rads!" Captain: "Are you happy now that you're in the Army?" Recruit: "Yes, sir." Captain: "What were you in civilian life?" Recruit: "Happier still, sir." "These doughnuts," said the young married man, "are not like my another used to make." "I know it," replied the recent bride sweetly. "Your mother called up just the other day and asked for niy recipe." "Jimmie," said the teach- er, "What is your greatest ambition?" Jimmie considered thought- fully.• "I think," he said, "it is to wash mother's ears."

On the right, Tobruk, now en- tering its sixth month of siege, stands as firmly as ever, To the south 150 miles, Glare - bub Oasis, 40 miles inside Italian territory, gives British forces an anchor for their left flank. The strategic value of Glare - buil is immeasurable. In the hands of the British commander, Sir Claude Auehinleck, it points a dagger toward the communica- tions line of any Axis attempt to thrust deeper into Egypt. To- bruit is the other dagger.

Donates Prizes Ontario Plowmen Will Com- pete For Valuable Prizes At Branch Hatchet Plowmen throughout the Prov- ince are looking forward again with keen anticipation to the day of their •branch snatch to compete for some of the valuable prizes being'. offered. A cash prize of $10.00 offered to each of the eighty branches by the Salads Tea Company for the best land in jointer plow sod classes is of particular interest, fox the win- ners' of this "Special" earn the privilege of competing for valu- able trips in a Special Champion- ship Class at the next Interna- tional Match. The good fortune a. two young :plowmen from Iornby, Ontario, in 1940 has be- come the topic of conversation among plowmen all over Ontario., As a reward for their prowess they were given a -trip which took them to points of agricultural in- terest in the United States and Canada, from Toronto to Van- couver.' They saw cowboys, sheep -herd- ers and miners in the "copper" , town of Butte, Montana. . This was a live, almost wild city filled with the unexpected. In Iowa they sat in on a conference with farmers and answered questions about Canada and her methods of farming. Every minute of their trip was an education and they learned many new methods of farming which they are using to considerable advantage on their own farms. Gordon McGavin, Vice -President of the Plowmen's Association,_accompanied them as guide and manager. If restrictions" do not forbid, a sbnilar opportunity will be given to the winners of the first and second awards of the "SAL - ADA" event at the "Interna- tional" being held this year near Peterborough. They will also re- ceive gold and silver medals for first and second prizes respec- tively. Twelve other cash prizes, ranging from $26.00 to $6.00 are offered for the same event. I Is Sdencel Bei'; THE "SULFA" FAMILY NO MORE DISH WIPING The laboratory was quiet save for the drip of water from a leaky faucet. The two men gazed at each other with haggard faces over test tubes. Finally one, in a hushed voice, announced, "This means the emancipation of man- kind." The scene was a work room in the New York State .Agricultural - Experiment Station. The men, both research scientists, had made the greatest scientific dis- covery since the invention of the wheel. The results of their re- search will cause strong men to weep, and will send little children dancing joyously through the streets. They had proved that it is de- finitey insanitary to wipe dishes. The men, William G. Walter and G. J. Rucker, have buried their findings in a pamphlet de- voted to "the use of the contact- plate method to determine the microbial contamination of flat surfaces." No longer will the tired busi- ness man be torn from his news- paper and routed out of his arm- chair in the evening to stand at "It DOES taste good in a pipet°` HANDY SEAL -TIGHT POUCH -150 Vi -LB.

To, be scientific and'to achieve the high- est degree of cleanliness the housewife must wash and rinse her dishes—and then just tuck themaway in the pantry. After running hundreds of tests, Walter and Hacker found that the ideal way to clean the '. dinner dishes was to wash them in water heated above 160 de- •grees Fahrenheit for about two minutes, and•rinse them in water equally hot for at least 10 sec- onds. They then should be allow- ed to dry without towelling and be put away. Dishes that were washed in wa- ter that was less than 160 degrees and wiped with towels showed a (large number of bacteria on their surface. «w..,,•21s, s..,.20.c.e.,®11_11®amu_s.w,.. 10rri; C ag El I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I prevent deli- cate -colored wash materials from fading? A. Before they are washed, soak them in lukewarm water, to which a few drops of turpentine have been added. Q. How can I wash straw matting? • A. Wash the matting with a cloth dampened in hot salt water, using a handful of salt to a bucket of hot water. Wash only a small space at a time and wipe dry at once. This also prevents it from turning yellow. Q. How can I remove the shell more easily from a hard- boiled egg? A. Crack the egg firmly down on a table, and roll back and forth a few tunes. The shell will almost fall off and the egg will be perfectly smooth. Q. How can I remove stains on metal ash trays? A. A little denatured alcohol will remove these stains. B. How can I make a good sandwich filling? A. A delicious sandwich fill- ing can be made by adding to one cup of chopped halo enough vine- gar to moisten, and then one tablespoonful of peanut batter. Use celery salt and pepper as sea- soning. Mix well before spread- ing between slices of bread. Q, How can 1 soften the cuticle around my fingernails? A. Ordinary table butter is excellent for this purpose. Solve This One A couple of girls handed the cashier of a cafeteria on their way out a slip of paper with the number 1004180 on it. This sat- isfied the cashier, who let them pass without paying. Why? Well, it reads: "I owe nothing for 1 ate nothing." Something New In Puzzle Game Here's a new kind of puzzle. A soldier was sent sometime ago to the. Isle of Man for guard duty at an internment camp. There was plenty of sugar and he decided to take. Lord Wool ton's advice and store it for jam making, Now, he has a big store o2 sugar ready to make jani for the winter. But he has received or- ders to return to England. He can't take the sugar with him; the food office won't permit that. He cannot sell it; he hasn't a license -to trade. He can't des- troy it; if he does, he will bo prosecuted for wasting food. He can't give it away; that would be letting another person obtain food without coupons — a criminal of- fense. And he can't eat it; there's too much. Nazis Are Killing Their Own Wounded A broadcast from a Moscow radio station said a secret radio station in Germany said the Ger- mans are killing their own wound- ed—those too badly hurt to fight again. The broadcast said the killings are under the order of the mill - tatty command with the chief medical officer deciding who shall die. House surgeons perform the killings by injecting air into the wounded men's arteries. Death is almost instantaneous. It was said the killing of wounded soldiers has two advan- tages, avoiding unfavorable ef- fects on the civilians of the sight of badly wounded men and it saves food. 1.
