Inspecting the• guard here is Lieut; L. H. Dun_sdon, of Brantford, Ont„ a ad Orderly Sgt- W. Miner, of Fort Francis, Ont. THAT SCIENCE IS DOING Micrograms .A quarter of a million docu- ments a week can be handled by the British War Office microgram service. Microscopic 'negatives are made by the microgram units abroad on films of varying length, which are then sent home by air. As a result, official correspondence is speeded up and transmission of such documents as adjustment of allowances to soldiers' depend- ents, formerly sent by rail and Bea, frequently take only as many days as they previously tools months. One hundred feet of film may bear the negatives of as many as 1,000 documents in a container which is no bigger than a two - ounce `tobacco tin. On arrival at the War Office the films are en- kerged at the rate of 1,000 docu- ments an hour. Glass Plastics A new material is employed in aircraft construction. It is a pias - Ole reinforced with glass fibers. Samples have been produced with a tensile strength of over 80,000 pounds per square inch. While the impact strength of ordinary plas- tics is about 2 foot-pounds, samp- les of the glass and plastic com- bination have shown impact re- sistance of over 20 foot -Pounds. The new material can be molded into aircraft structural parts with low pressures and without the use of expensive molds. By drawing glass into fine fibers and combin- ing them with a plastic, imper- fections are distributed so that those in one fiber will not match those in another, One Way To- Save Fuel—Retire Early The British Government has been urged to conduct a campaign through .broadcasts, posters and newspapers to apprise the public that, "by going to bed a half hour earlier each evening for the next two months, they may save enough fuel in the form of elec- tricity and gas to remove all anxiety about the adequacy of supplies for munitions and the great offensive." Ontario Hospital Monument To Democratic Way of Life 24 Hours a Day For 68 Years The eerie shriek of the siren sank to a low moan as the ambulance braked to a quick atop beside the crowd collected around the crumpled heap by the roadside, Tender hands Med onto the stretcher what had been a happy care -free youngster but a few short minutes before. The doors closed and the car glided swiftly away with Its burden of pain, bound for the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren—that splendid institution which far 89 veers has waged unceasing war against accident, sickness, dis- ease, and death. READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY The Hospital stands ready at all times to meet any emergency. Acci- dent cases are not the only ones which must have prompt attention. Children with deformed backs and limbs, defective eyesight, rare dis- eases and physical disabilities must have prompt help too. Neglect may mean permanent disfigurement, de- formity or chronic disease. While fourteen days is the average each public ward patient is treated, a large number are inmates for weeks, some for months and s few receive treatment over a period of years. Many are problem cases, sent there because of the world-wide reputa- tion earned by the doctors who don- ate }Meir time and talents without stint in the service of suffering little ones. CAUSE FOR PRIDE Though the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren is situated in the City of To-, ronto, it belongs essentially to ell the people of Ontario because it wel- comes children from every part of the Province who are in need of medical old or hospital rare. No exceptions are ever made. There are no barriers el race or creed. Children of parents from every walk of life find sanctuary. Those who can 'pay. do so gladly, Those who cannot are never turned away, The people of Ontario may well feel proud of this institution— tb:e living monument to our demo. erotic way of life. robe -lee of the immense value and wide serge of the Hospital's emit may be formed from the tact thrf diving the past year alone, over 11,":"; s Ir and nippiest children were I;1•. n I •-..^mcnt in its public Wards, ti"i'r in the Out•patlentdepartment over 00,427 visits were recorded. SECOND TO NO* Because the operating costs of the Hospital are among the lowest in North America for institutions of a similar type, and because of the high quality of the services and medical assistance provided, the Hospital for Sick Children is recognized in the hospital world as outstanding in efficiency. There are over eighty physicians and surgeons on the staff, all of them leading specialists in child ailments. These men give their services free to the public ward patients. NOT SELF SUPPORTING The Hospital is not sell supporting and the reason for this is not hard to find. Less than 5%r of the patients are able to pay the full cost of their care. The other 05% are the public ward cases who occupy 414 of the 432 beds in the Hospital at all times. The cost of providing hospital care for each public ward patient is about $1,50 per day more than the combin- ed income from the patient (or the patient's municipality) plus the - government grant. As a result of this, each year the Hospital faces a deficit amounting to many thou- sands of dollars, This year this de- ficit is greater than ever before, mainly due to conditions created by the was', SYMPATIEETIC PUBLIC LENDS A ZIAND Were it not for the generosity of sympathetic and understanding peo- ple, business organizations, societies, clubs, etc., the scope and work of the Hospital could not be maintained on Its present scale, Bach year about this time a provinee-wide appeal is made for financial help to meet the annual deficit. This year over $125,000 meat he raised. Because of tine fact Chet patients are admitted from every part of the province, the hospital does not share,in Toronto's United Welfare Fund. 'Therefore, it make!: its own appeal. 11 does so, confident In the knowledge that a generoue and understanding people will come to the aid of little children who de- pend on Mein for e chance for health—a chanee to take their place in the peers to come, :to members of a prosperous and industrious society.

The new recruit was quite hope- less, Everything he did was wrong, and, try as he would, his drill was just awful. The infuriated N.C,O. in charge of the squad had tried everything he knew, Now he could stand it no longer. "What were you before you joined the army?" he roared. "Very happy, corporal," came the truthful but sad reply. She: "I shall love to share all your troubles." He: "But, darling, t have no troubies." She: +'Silly, i mean when we are married,' —o— A young lady stopped at the notion counter. "?fay I see some -combs?" she asked. The clerk showed her some. "Oh, no, I want a man's comb." "Do you want a narrow man's comb?" "No, I want a comb for a fat • man with rubber teeth," —0— "My wife has the worst memory i ever heard of." "Forgets everything?" "No; remembers every- thing!" very- thing!" Master of House: "Why did you tell your mistress what time I came home last night after I had told you to be quiet about It?"

Grassielt of Kingsville is to be congratu- lated on his splendid idea of eon - ducting a school for ch'ivers, par- ticularly those in their teens, says The Windsor Star. This is a worth while contribution to public safety, and it undoubtedly will save many lives. Every young man or woman wants to drive a car, and their eagerness too often sends them oub on the road poorly prepared for the responsibility they assume Knowledge of how to press a starter and shift gears is not suf- ficient, There must be good judg-- ment and "road sense" before a driver can be called safe, and parents or older brothers are not always the best ones to inculcate these qualities. The chief, con- ducting his classes with consist erations of safety always upper- most in his mind, and subjecting Itis young pupils to exhaustive ex- alninations before granting them certificates of proficiency, is do- ing much to remove one of our worst hazards to life and limb. 1161214..,0 "NOW AVAILABLE"}i Leta Combination Feed Mills, --clot- omen most profitable term feed round sIblIIt rseful pupa all ey Into maw, grinds •^rain for hugs, value and pellltry, iutri dues many oihor feed preparing Jobs, 3 sires.
