since his arrival in Australia, at Melbourne. Stating his "every con-
fidence in the ultimate success of our joint cause," he called for

Scrap Iron
It is estimated that there are
between a million and one and
a half million tons of scrap iron
lying useless on American farms,
says Pathfinder. If collected and
properly mixed with other metals,
it would furnish material for one
hundred and thirty - nine battle-
ships or 156,250 light tanks.
Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1, What should one take into
consideration when planning the
centrepiece of the dinner table'?
2. How long before the sehed-
uled time of the wedding should
the ushers appear at the church?
3. Is it permissible to use bust.
ness or office stationery for Imo-
lai correspondence?
4. What aro some things that;
a well-bred person never does
while playing bridge?
5. When you are talking with
someone whose name you cannot
remember readily, and a friend
joins you, should you attempt
an introduction?
6. Is it necessary that a chap-
eron be a harried woman?
ANSWERS
1. That tall ornaments which
obstruct the view are •not in good
taste, as the guests naturally like
to see each other across the table.
It is far better to have a simple
flat bowl of flowers or fruit,
flanked perhaps by. a pair of
candlesticks.
2. They should be on hand at
least an hour beforehand. It is
part of their duty to welcome the
guests and conduct them to their
places.
3. No. Neither the man nor
the woman of good taste is ever
guilty of this breach of etiquette.
4. He does not argue with his
opponents about the rules, does
not attempt to infurm a partner
how his hand should have been
played, does not 'alk incessantly,
drum on the table, snap the cards,
hurls nor whistle. '
5 Yes. Say "I am very sorry,
but for the moment I cannot re-
member your name."
6. No. Any woman of mature
years may serve in this capacity.
M.P.'s were, in former days,
paid for each attendance at the
House of Commons.

,HOW CAN. X
A friend of ours in the Defence-
Housing Registry at Washington
is pretty busy these days trying
to find rooms for the hundreds
of new Government employees
arriving daily.
Recently the inspector, looking
over a proposed propertY, asked
the landlady: "How many share
the bath?"
"Web," admitted the prospect-
ive recipient of a Government
bounty, "things are a mite crowd-
ed—but we still take our baths
separately."
"In a Midwestern town, an ec-
centric was found who had not
left an attic in twenty years."
"That's the danger in starting
a long serial in a pile of old
magazines,"
While on patrol duty, a mem-
ber of the' Home Guard came
across a watchman asleep in his
hut.
The sirens had :just previously
sounded. Shaking the old man,
he shouted: "Wake up, don't you
know the siren's gone?"
Sleepily, he murmured: "Well,
I'm not surprised. The people
round here'li take anything."
"Why are you wearing spec-
tacles, old chap?"
"Well, through crossword puz-
ales, I've contracted an optical
defect. One eye travels vertic-
ally and the the other horizont-
ally."
A man telephoned the doctors
"Come over quick, Doc. My wife
has appendicitis."
"Nonsense," snorted the doctor,
"I removed your wife's appendix
three years ago. How can any-
one have a second appendix?"
"Listen," cried the husband,
"did yeu ever hear of anyone
having a second wife?"
f
There had been an accident,
and the sympathetie old lady had
stopped and stroked his forehead.
"My poor fellow," she crooned,
"tell me your name, and I will
tell Your mother."
"Thank you," gasped the vie-
tim, "but my mother knows my
name."
Boss: "You want a raise? Why
don't you live within your
means?"
Employee: "I do sir, .but you
don't realize how I IUD erowded
for space".
"Say, pa."
"Well, my son."
"I took a walk through. the
cemetery today and I read the
inscriptions on the tombstones."
"Well, what about it?"
"Where are all the wicked peo-
ple buried?"
Motorist: "How far to the next
town?"
Native: "About three miles in a
bee line." .
Motorist: "Well, how far is it
if the bee has to walk and roll
a flat tire along?"
"That pretty girl seems to be
having a good time!"
"H'm, yes—her fiance, a young
medical officer in India, is corn-
ing home to marry her next
month."
"Well, she certainly seems to
have solved the problem of what
to do till the doctor comes!"
Father: "The man who marries
my daughter will get a prize 1"
Ardent Suitor: "May I see it?"
Fight For Existence
Devil Take Hindmost
Three months after Pearl Har-
bor! Is there any American so
deluded as to suppose that he can
sit this one out? There, are many,
we gather, and we pity them.
If you do not like the way this
war is being prosecuted, it is
your privilege and your duty to
use all lawful pressure on Your
representatives to correct it. But
if it is merely that you do not like
this war, then you can lump it.
Every last one of the 130,000,000
of us is in this up to his neck.
Your way of life, your life itself,
all you own or hope to own; your
job, your freedom, your self-re-
spect is at stake. No one is site
ting this one Tout ... the British,
the Germans, the Russians, the
Japanese have no illusions. They
know they are fighting for self -
existence, and the devil take the
hindmost. So are you.—Saturday

C. N. R. Has 'Best
Year In History
Government -Owned Railway
Reports Surplus of $4,016,000
In 1941
The Canadian National Hall-
ways had the most successful fin-
ancial year of its history in 1941
with a cash surplus of $4,016,000,
the annual report of the system,
tabled in the House of Commons
last week by the Minister of
Transport, said. -
Net revenue, after the pay-
ment of all operating expenses,
was $66,608,341, an increase of
$21,600,929 over the previous
year. The cash surplus of $4,-
016,000, after payment of taxes,
interest to the public and certain .
interest payments to the govern-
ment for capital purposes, show-
ed an improvement of $21,000,-
` 000 over 1940. Payment of this
surplus will be made to the gov-
ernment before the close of the
fiscal year ending March 31, the
report said.
Sharp increases in both passen-
ger and freight traffic were re-
ported, with the freight tonnage
, the highest in the railway's his-
tory.
"When the need for efficient
transportation reached new high
levels during 1941, the National
Railway system was found capable
and competent to meet all de-
mands," the report said. "The
demands in 1942 will be still more
challenging but with the co-oper-
ation of shippers, passengers and
government agencies, they will be
met,"
1942 Outlook Bright
"The outlook for 1942 is for a
further substantial increase in
traffic. •The directors expect the
railway will again earn a moder-
ate surplus over and above its
fixed charges. It Is difficult to
estimate how much that surplus
will be. The outlook must be
viewed in the light of war condi-
tions and with the realization that
abrupt and far-reaching distur-
bances occur with startling rapid-
ity.
"Both management and em-
ployees realize fully the need for
economy and every effort will be
made to secure the most favorable
financial results consistent with
the primary duty of furnishing
prompt and efficient transporta-
tion service in the national war
a1fort. -
"There is some shortage of
labor, more particuarly among
the shop crafts. Shortages of ma-
terial are bound to occur as the
normal supplies are cut off or
the available supplies are divert-
ed to the fabrication of the muni-
tions of war but these difficulties
should not be insurmountable.
The relations between manage-
ment and the employees are ex-
cellent and the railway and its
equipment have been well main-
tained."
Operating Revenue
Operating revenues in 1941
totalled $304,376,000 or 28 per
cent over the preceding year. The
amount was approximately equal
to that of 1928, and was mors
than double that of 1933. Only
two other railway systems on the
continent had larger gross rev-
enues.
Freight revenue increased $45,-
030,000 or 23 per cent. In 1941
the railway moved the largest
tonnage of freight in its history.
It moved the equivalent of 27,-
199,000,000 tons one mile, an ef-
fort 20 per cent greater than in
the previous peak year of 1928.
The increased freight revenue
over 1928, however, was only five
per cent.
Passenger Revenue
Passenger revenue increased
$10,191,000 or 47 per cent. Meas.
ured by pasenger miles, passen-
ger traffic increased 57 per cent
but the increase in revenue was
not proportionate to the increase
in volume because of the low fares
for members of the armed forces
and special rates for workmen's
trains serving munition plants.
The average revenue per passen-
ger
assenger mile was 1.8 cents, an all-
time low.
The increased activity in rail
transortation was reflected in
other accounts, such as mail,
sleeping car, chair car, dining car,
and commercial telegraphs. Ex-
press revenue, however, was less
than in 1940 due to the diminu-
tion of movements of gold bullion,
The cost of protecting the com-
pany's property against possible
sabotage was $552,000. The num-
ber of employees increased by
6,705 to 89,536.
Will Wear Clothes
Made From Milk
Americans will be wearing
dresses and other clothes made
from milk by Spring, and the cow
will be launched in a new role
are fashion aid, is the forecast by
dairy products researchers, says
Science Service.
Success in processing a new
textile fibre from casein, by-pro-
duct of skim milk, after four
years of experimenting is cause
for the predictions.
The fibre is said to be the. first
derived from milk which is "ac-
ceptable to the American textile
industry," and fabrics are now
being manufactured containing
tilraads of milk.
Exclusive of generator equip-
ment, it costs $18,000 to build
