In these hot Summer days it is essential that we keep fresh and fragrant. Here are some timely hints to help you avoid offending others. Unpleasant breath may be due to several causes, but the most frequent one is that particles of food lodge in the crevices of the teeth, Clean your teeth after every meal. You'll find dental floss a help, too. Use a mouth -wash frequently. A simple and effective mouth -wash can be made at home by adding a few drops of myrrh to half a glass of Water. How's your hair Is it dull and dirty? There's no excuse for it, you know. Shampoo often. Halo shampoo is simple to use yet cleans beautiful- ly and you will be proud of your hair after using it. Don't spare the brush! Brush vigorously and often. Massage the hair ooeasfonally with bay rum. You are going. to perspire, whether you like it or not! It is a natural part of the body functioning. But you CAN Prevent perspiration odour. Wash Yourself' frequently with Palmolive soap to ensure thorough cleansing, then dab some deodorant cream under the armpits. If you suffer from perspiring feet, rub' theist with vinegar, night and morning; then, spray them with tal- oum powder. Keep your clothed fresh and dain- ty, especially underthings. Put clothes on a hangar immediately you doff them, and hang them in a, draught to air. My new Beauty Care booklet is fall of helpful hints. Write for con- fidential personal advice, and enclose four one -cent stamps, please, for my booklet. Address Miss Barbara Lynn, Box 75, Station B., Montreal, Que.

Maitland, R.C.N.V.R., on bridge of itis sea hornet Plenty of Action Hunting Nazis Wartime needs for security have prevented much being written about the deeds of officers serving with the Royal Navy in British waters, In motor torpedo boats and gunboats they put out from their bases "to seek out and engage the enemy." German E -boats, mine -sweepers, de- stroyers and even a cruiser and two battleships have been engaged. Fol- lowing is a description of the work of these officers, showing their in- stant readiness to fight...and how them fight. By Lieut. E. H. Bartlett, RCNVR. For one word, it produced an im- mense flurry of action. Three Canadian naval officers were sitting before a fire in a room at an English naval base enjoying a before bedtime chat. They were Lieutenants J. D. Maitland and J. A. McCutcheon of 'Vancouver and C. Burk of Mon- treal. The chat was broken by a per- emptory knock at the door. A girl of the Women's Royal Naval Service called out: "Immediate." Action was instantaneous. Two of the officers, bolted form the room to their own, nearby. The third, the owner of the room, started to strip even before hte door had opened for their departure. With practised speed he donned heavy woollen underwear, thick sweaters and flannel trousers, sea -boot stockings and wool -lined leather boots. A canvas coat, reach- ing to his knees, and a woollen toque and he was dressed., ..dressed for the action with the enemy which that one word "immediate" had pro- mised. Blocking Enemy Ports In other "cabins" brother officers had imitated his actions. In a matter of minutes they were assembling in the hall of the officers' quarters ready to operate some of the deadly "mosquito craft" which counter the hit-and-run tactics of the German E - boats and share in the tasks of blocking the enemy ports. "Mosquito craft" is rather an out- of-date title for the motor torpedo boats and the motor launches of this war. Rather may they be termed the hornets bf the sea, for their sting 10 vicious and lethal, as there are many sunken enemy craft to prove. And, like hornets, they are always In readiness to swarm to the attack. The, word "immediate" set their base humming like a hornet's nest. While some of the officers wont to their boats, the commanding officers gathered at the operations room to await final orders and gain as clear a piature as possible of what had called theist into instant readiness. There was action at sea, Some of their boats, outnumbered were engaging att enemy E -boat unit. They had reported the fact by Wireless. Such actions are swift and furious. The sea -hornets are the fastest craft afloat, and set inocan spread over< miles of Sea in the course of min - utes. Against the possibility that the action might spread in- their direc- tion, and give them a change to join in, the boats.and their crews were standing by. Chance For Action In the operations room the com- manding officers were greeted by the officer in charge. "Sorry to call you chaps out," said the, operations officer, "but there's an off -chance we might have „a spot of action." On the walls of the small room in wtiiejt he stood his watch, betlagged charts were the only decoration. There was a desk, two telephones, table, with a few papers. One easy chair before. a small fire, a bed, not slept in that night and, to complete the furnishings, a couple of chairs. A room not for comfort a room as coldly efficient as the men who use it. "This is the picture," said the on: erations officer, and told of the inter- ception by "some of our chaps" of a much larger enemy unit. He gave the figure. He gave the position where the engagement started. "So far," the report concluded. "that's all we know. You'd better sit clown, and we'll get some tea." There was another settlnig down, broken once more by the telephone's ring: • Chased Them Home "No further contacts. Stopped oft • " read the signal this time. The port off which the British craft had stopped was an enemy post. The English officer murmured commendation: "Chased the so -land so's right back home." "It looks as if you could go house. too" broke in the operations officer, "there just isn't going to be any fun for you to -night:" The original force, outnumbered as it had been. bad handled the situa- tion without need of assistance, From a Canadian officer, (Lieuten- ant George F. Duncan, RCNVR., Montreal) came the other view of the picture, when on his return to his base, he told of the action. Before the war he had been- a char- tered accountant.. Before the war, too, he had seen' the need of prepar- ing for it and, as au officer in the supplementary' resdrvc in Montreal, had taken preliminary training. In Great Britain, shortly after the out- break of war, that training had been intensified, with special attention to what would fit hien for work with the sea -hornets. His account of the action was con- cise to the point of baldness. They Laid No Mines "Quito a straightforward affair," he declared.."We were out on an ordin- ary patrol, and these ferries came nut to lay mitres, So we went into then. Opened up wtih all we had and saw one of them burst into flames, although_ he got them out pretty quickly, I must say. It was a short affair, far they turned tail right away and streaked back for home. We chased after them but couldn't get contact again. There. was quite a bumpy sea, and that ,idn't help. However, we know we lidn't cid then, any good, because we managed to get quite a few hits. And what is more, they didn't lay any of hteir ruddy mines, either. Beavers and Engineers Agree on Dam Site Since the beginning of white set- tlement on this continent the Canad- ian beaver has been recognized as one of the most industrious and int- elligent of animals and as possessing a considerable degree of engineering sagacity. A reminder of this animal': skill and industry is contained in the story of eight beaver trapped in Southern Manitoba in August, 1941, and moved to the Fisher River Fur Project Area, west of Lake Winni- peg. Here they were released, more •',;,a 20,, miles from where they were born. and their movements were carefully observed. Oneof the eight died but the remainder lost no time in beginning a survey of the area which was to be their future house. It is claimed that these bea- ver travelled a distance of about one hundred miles—up and down streams, around lakes, and through the wide marshes of the area—be- fore finally selecting a spot on which to build their dam. The: previous year engineers of the Manitoba Government had also ;,rveyed the area in connection with the development of a wild fur rehabilitation project, and had nark- ed a site for a control dam. The bea• ver• it was found selected a sport tor their dam less than 20 feet from where the engineers had placed their marking post. No matter what has been said in the past or may be written in the future to belittle the beaver, it will be hard to convince these Govern- ment engineers that this little ani- mal is not endowed with some sort of natural engineering skill -far sup- erior to that of most denizens of the wild in North America, or that lie does not merit the distinction of having been chosen one of Canada's national emblems. It would be erroneous, of course, to assert that the busy beaver is al- ways active. On the contrary he knows when to work and when to relax. 11 he worked continuously from the spring break-up until the winter freeze-up. he would store a great deal more food than it would be possible for hint to cr,115(1(110 hir- ing the 'winter months.

The beaver displays a true com- munal spirit. When there is work to be done everyone does his bit and keeps at it until the job is finished. There is no quitting because a mem- ber thinks he has done his share. In like manner they share their dam, their lodge, and their food. Apart from the commercial value of beaver, they are of course, a con- siderable attraction to the tourist and the nature -lover. The late Grey Owl thrilled the English-speaking world with stories of the lives and habits dt the beaver in Riding Moun- tain and Prince Albert National parks and di much to rekindle an int- erest in "nature's own forest engin- eer." Beaver are found in most of Canada's National parks from Brit- ish Colombia. to Nova Scotia. In Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia, beavers have been successfully reestablished after au absence from the region of more than a century Latest reports are that this colony is making good pro- gress and a number of new dams and lodges are already in evidence in the Park. Beaver have also been reintro- duced into Elk Island National park in Alberta after an absence of many years and It is expected that they will soon form an important part of the attraction of that famous wild animal park. In the early days of Canada's fud trade, the beaver occupied a place of paramount importance. It was estimated that before the arrival of Europeans, the beaver population of North America was more than 10 millions. Between 1852 and 1857, the Hudson's Bay Company sold more than three million beaver skins on the London. Fur Market. The heavy drain on the supply of this valuable fur bearer continued until quite re- cent tines, when legislation was en- acted for their protection.. This close protection bas had a beneficial effect and in many districts the beaver has become much more plentiful. The first large•scale projects of this hind for conservation of beaver were situated in the region immedi- ately southeast of James Bay, where the Hudson's Bay Company's activi- ties had been carried on 260 years earlier.

He was scuffling at the tine and when he went forward to adjust the bridle of the horse's stead, the horse, a quiet' beast, suddenly and without warn- ing, raised its right knee, striking Mr. Gamble in the stomach and knocking iritis to the ground.
