WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
Welded Aircraft
.A new welded stainless steel
cargo plane, the Conestoga, is in
roil production at the Edward G.
Budd Manufacturing Company
plant, Philadelphia.
The two -engine, 68 -foot aircraft
with an upsweep after -body giving
It the appearance of a flying whale,
is the first plane in which welded
stainless steel has been used to a
large extent, the navy said.
Doors on opposite sides of the
fuselage pertnit launching of para-
troops and supplies simultaneously
front both sides in contrast to con-
ventional one -door transports.
The cargo compartment, 25 feet
long, eight feet wide and eight
fret high, is made possible by a
unique manner of attaching the
wing to the htsclagc without pass-
ing the wing through the fuselage
bs the customary fashion.
The floor of the cargo compart-
ment'remains level both on the
ground and in flight as the plane is
equipped with a tricycle landing
gear.
The ship is capable of carrying
10,400 pounds over a range of 050
utiles, but its maximum range can
be increased t0 3,500 Utiles with
auxiliary fuel tanks.
Two 710 -horsepower engines
give it a cruising speed of 165 miles
an hour. Total weight fully loaded
is 33,800 pounds.
The Conestoga can be convert-
ed to troop transport or ambulance
use, and an ambulance and jeep
both can be carried inside:
'Answer To Alcohol
Shortage: Poison Gas
i Those thirsty folks who wonder
.tow the war effort can absorb
practically the whole distilling
capacity of this continent were
given an answer by a War Produc-
tion Roard head who had appeared
before a U. S, Senate committee,
states the Winnipeg bice Press.
The main answer, he said, was
"poieoi gas." This does not mean
that the United Nations propose
to initiate the use of this dreadful
weapon of war, but Dr. W. G.
Whitman of WPR made it amply.
clear that, if the Axis starts using
it we will immediately follow suit,
and that we do not propose to be
naught on a "too little and too late"
basis. Alcohol is a principal ingre-
dient of poison gases. It 15 also
used for explosives and other war
purposes, but poison gas stock
piles are what are chiefly in mind
now as the distillers keep on Writ-
ing
urning out industrial alcohol.

Modern Etiquette
By. ROBERTA IJEE
1. How can a host or hostess di-
vert a guest without seeming rude
if he scenes determined to monopo-
lize the conversation?
2, If a man stops to talk for a
minute with a girl whom he meets
on the street, should he turn his
back when leaving her?
3. On which side of the plate
should the spoons be placed on the
dinner table?
4, Is it permissible for a bride to
have her mother acknowledge the
wedding gifts?
5. Is it permissible for a host or
hostess to specify the length of
time covered by an invitation for a
visit?
6. Is it correct to have one's ini-
tials on a visiting card?
ANSWERS
1. At the very first pause ask
some other guest if he won't re-
late some interesting incident or
experience. 2. He should wait for
the girl to turn first, before he turns
to walk away. 3. On the right side
of the plate. 4. No; personal notes
should be written by the bride.
They may be brief and should be
sincere and express genuine appre-
ciation for the gift. 5. Yes, and it
will often prevent misunderstand-
ings and embarrassment. 6. The
faultlessly correct card bears the
full name.
Mustard Gas
A boy of 16 found a tin con-
tainer on sand dunes on the
South Wales coast. His younger
sister opened it up and played with
the contents.
It held mustard gas in liquid
form for 515e at anti -gas - classes.'
The child' died from severe burns.
Her father and mother, bro-
ther, another sister, and six neigh-
bors who came into contact with
the liquid suffered burns. The
whole district had to he decontam-
inated.
Soviet Russia was the first coun-
try to train parachutists.
OTTAWA REPORT'S
That Dominion "Reconstruction
Committee Advocates Standard
Of Farm Homes Be Raised
The farm hone, long overlooked
in connn'nity planning, cines in

mittee appointed by the Govern-
ment ;it Ottawa,
'1411e building of 04,000 farm
dwellings in the first ten years af-
ter the war is recommended by the
subcommittee on Housing and
. Community Planning, , Tn the same
period the subcommittee's report
urges repair of 1.01,0(10 farm homes.
Ti also advocates new homes for
those now aharinr- their homes
with other families, and provision
of cottages for farm laborers.
Two nut -of every fire farm

repairs to foundations, walls, roofs.
chimneys, windows or door's, the
report of the subcommittee ad-
vises, Four out of five have no
electricity. In every 100, 03 lack
*bathing facilities or flush toilets.
Examining this report, Frani'
Sherrie, a Dominion Department
of Agriculutre economist, com-
ments, "For the first lints we have
a report. on housing and commu-
nity planning which deals not only
with the shelter of urban dwellers
but makes spcecific recontmenda-
tions, , , to raise substantially the
standard of faun housing."

Cheddar cheese production in
May was approximately 20 million
lbs., or a little over 34% above that
of May, 10.13. It is the highest re-
corded production since monthly
records were first compiled in
1930..

There is no need for July or
August chicks this year, Dominion
egg and poultry experts advise.
With the substantial increase in
early sales. greater numbers
hatched, and a.good growing sea-
son, there are ample potential sup-
plies of eggs and poultry in sight
to supply all anticipated require-
ments.

Maximum prices for sales of to-
matoes, corn, beans and tomato
juice produced by home canners
are set in a Prices hoard order.
Several thousand" home canners,
most of them in Quebec,, are affec-
ted by the order which[ establishes
uniform prices for all sections of
Canada in line with the "ceiling"
for industrial •canners. The new
regulations apply to all canners
with an output of lees than 10,000
lbs.

Even The Lowly
Cattail Goes To War
It seems like a far cry from the
common cattail of the marshlands
to life preservers and sleeping bags,
but recent evcnt.s have found a
commercial cutlet for the hitherto
useless cattail, says the Calgary
Herald. The round, sausage-
shaped fruiting heads of the plant
are compact masses of seeds, bear-
ing hair -litre appendages by which
the seeds are wafted -about in the
wind. These threads are hollow,
light and fluffy - an excellent
material for buoyancy and insula-
tion. Hence, their Value for life pre-
servers! \Vliy not also for sleeping
hags? Now the cattail harvest is
a thriving business in many mar-
shes, and a new Taunt industry has
been born.
