until April 29, and then withdrew
at London's request after the Un-
ited Nations decided to make a
unified representation through
Switzerland.
A communique said the Japan-
ese had refused to allow a Red
Cross ship to go to Singapore
and Hong Kong because of "rea-
sons related with security of nav-
igation
awigation in that zone."
It added that the Argentine
embassy in Tokio hacl reported
a success in negotiating for the
establishment of postal services
for the interned soldiers and ei-
vilians.

SPITE BOMBINGS WRECK YORK GUILDHALL
Fire -swept wreckage of the 500 -year-old guildhall at York, cen-
tral England, is evidence Germans are still giving, as ~well as receiving

Business Of CPR
Reaches 1928 Peak
The Canadian Pacific R,aiiway
has, reached the volume peak of
1928, but its facilities are not
overtaxed and can handle consid-
erably more traffic. The move-
ment of war supplies to the sea-
board will be limited in scope
only by the bottleneck in trans•
shipping the goof'•:- across tnt
ocean. A surplus of rolling stock
built up in the pre -depression
years is now being utilized, but
the chief problem is manpower
for the railroad.
These were some of the obser-
vations macre by' D. C. Coleman
of Montreal, newly chosen presi-
dent of the C.P.R. in a recent
interview.
If the volume of business con •
-
tines to climb upward, bringing
about • augmented train move-
ments, the manpower problem
will become sharp, Mr. Coleman
said, when asked what he con-
sidered was one of the chief prob-
lems confronting the railroad. He
did not think there would be
large-scale employment of women
by the C.P.R. to offset the short-
age of leen.
Surplus of Rolling Stock
"We can handle more freight
traffic," he said with a smile.
"We have the rolling stock, and
there is no shortage of locomo-
tives. We have a number on
order now. Before the outbreak
of war, we had a large surplus
of rolling stock and we still have
some surplus left. It was the re-
sult of the planning which all
businesses must do.
"The volume of business
erned to some extent by sea trans-
portation," Mr. Coleman pointed
out. "The bottleneck is whether
the supplies moved to the sea-
board by the railroads can be
moved from there. We haven't
got the storage facilities in this
country that the United States
has, and we are moving goods
under a permit system which
takes into account the movement
of goods overseas from the sea-
board. Otherwise, we would have
been swamped long ago."
Mr. Coleman expressed doubt
that the government would re-
strict passenger travel by rail- to
one hundred miles. He said the
C.P.R. could handle increased
passenger traffic and would likely
do so in the event of bus travel
oeing sharply curtailed. '
As fa.' ns air +ravel is Coiicel'n-
ed, Mr. Coleman said the f azure
of air +, av e! a :d transport was
not being overlooked by the rail-
roads.
Post -War Readjustment
"We are operating many air
services at the present time and
we hope to improve thein as time
goes on," he said, "These air
services are not competitive with
the Trans -Canada Airlines but act

also taking in mining supplies to
distant points."
Tanks are being built in the
Angus shops in Montreal and
guns are being turned out at the
Ogden shops in Calgary. Mr.
Coleman said the C.P.R. also op-
erated three air training schools,
two in the West and one at Mal -
ton, No. 1 Air Observers' School.
These .training centres are run
in conjunction with the Common-
wealth Air Training PIan.
He foresaw a trying per-
iod of readjustment in the post-
war period. The agony and suf-
fering of war, he stressed, "does
not end with the signing of the
peace."
"It is wise to have postwar
Plans in the back, of our minces,
but we should not concentrate too
much on them," declared Mr.
Coleman. "We have got to win
this war first,' and we haven't
begun to do that, though things
look a little better now."
"Boys, First Class"
Of Fighting Navy
Have You Heard?,
.A little 8cottir li boy wain IV
the other day before the exam-
biers for the Navy; the exaaxldnti -
itiozl was viva voca, deaignad
A4ieeover signal of "general intel'IU«
genes". They asked the boy what
ha knew about the battle of li'Iod-
Aen. He said "Nothing". "What!"
they said. "Don't you know any-
thing about the battle in whiokl
e likknglish beat the ,scotch?"
"Well," he said, "1 know it must
have been verra exceptional."
"English is a strange Lange
nage, after all,"
"Why so?"
"1 heard a man talking of
a political candidate the
other day; 'IE he only takes
this stand when he runs, he'll
have a walkover',"
It happened in a merchant ship.
She was a passenger liner and
she was attacked by enemy bom-
bers. She had, as members of her
crew, two lads at sea for the first
time. They were laundry boys.
These two laundry boys, new
to the sea, went to their ac-
tion stations and an incendiary
bomb fell into some bales of sisal
near them. That inflammable ma-
terial blazed up at once. But
those two lads showed such in
^:3tiative and courage that they had
the fire under control before the
�**egular fire -fighting parties reach-
ed the spot.
A few moments later one of a
stick of high -explosive bombs
dropped by the enemy fell neat
them, and it failed to explode The
captain knew it would be danger-
ous to attempt to move it, so he
called for volunteers to smother
it with sandbags. The same two
laundry boys were the first to get
to the spot with their sandbags
ready.
They did not get any medals.
They got a special commendation
from the King. They hadn't auY
fancy names like Casablanca to
inspire poets. But the names of
young Mr. J. Wiggins and young
Mr. A. McLellan are worth re-
membering.
In the fighting Navy they have
a rattling good name for sudh
lads. They are rated as, "Boy,
First Class," and first class they
are, fighting navy or mee'ohaut
navy, midshipman, apprentice, oa-
det or just boy.

A surgeon, man of few words,
met his match—in a woman! She
called at his surgery with her
hand badly inflamed and swollen.
The following dialogue, opened
by the doctor, took place:
"Burst?"
"Bruise."
"Poultice."
The next day the woman called
again, and the dialogue . was as
follows:
"Better?"
"Worse."
"More poultices."
Two days later • the woman
made another call,
"Better?"
"Well, Fee?"
"Nothing. Most sensible wo-
man I ever met."
Mrs. Style: "1 want a hat,
but it must be in the latest
style."
Shopman: "Kindly take a
chair, madam, and wait a few
minutes, the fashion is just
changing."
"Do you know who I am?"
shouted the irate general to the
Australian who had neglected to
salute hint.
"Do you know who I am?" he
persisted, as the soldier looked
blankly at him.
"Here, boys," said the Austra-
lian, turning to his friends. "Here
is something good. A general
who doesn't know his own name."
Caller: "Well, well, so your
name is Janie and you're five
years old. What do you plan

Janie: "Diet."

Polish Preserves
Wooden Furniture
Good Polish Will Seal Silt' -
face and Protect It
Wooden furniture, that might
have been replaced iu ordinary
times, should now he treated with
special care to make it, last.
Its chief enemies are summer
moisture and the dry heat of
homes and apartments in winter.
They cause loose joints, loosening
of veneer, warping and cracking.
Best protection against both is a
good oil or polish that will seal
the surface and, preserve it.
An inexpensive polish can be
made by mixing one part turpen-
tine with two parts of boiled lin-
seed oil. TJee at least twice a year
on furniture that is varnished or
oiled. The turpentine in the mix-
ture
ixture will loosen the dirt, and the
oil will penetrate the wood pores
and keep the wood in good con-
dition. Apply with a soft cloth.
Wipe off excess with a clean cloth,
then fold this cloth over and rub
the surface until it is entirely
dry and fingers will leave no
marks.
If the wood is badly soiled wash
with a mixture of three table-
spoons of boiled linseed oil and
one tablespoon of turpentine is a
quart of hot water, then polish.
Little scratches can be concealed
with iodine or rubbing with nut
meat, such as walnut. White spots
on varnished furniture caused by
water or hot dishes can be re.
moved by rubbing with spirits of
camphor or essence of PepPor-
mint.
Housewives Asked
For Co -Operation
Here are the new food ration-
ing regulations announced in a
broadcast to the women of Can-
ada recently by Donald Gordon,
chairman of the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board:
Sugar: Half a pound per
person per week.
Tea: Individual consumption
must be cut by one-half.
Coffee: Individual consumption
must be cut by one-quarter.
Housewives were asked by Mr.
Gordon to see that these cuts are
obeyed.
Those who violate the regula-
tions will be prosecuted.
Spiders Spin Webs
For Gun Sights
Spiders, their webs being used
for gun sights because of extra-
ordinary strength and fine tex-
ture, are playing their part in
the war. Starvation for two days
makes then produce a web of
even thickness which is split by
hand to one-third original thick-
ness.
SSIFIED
What Science
Is Doing
SECRET GAS
If Hitler should introduce gas
into total warfare, the United
States is prepared to retaliate
with "Lewisite," a secret gas
"more deadly" than any used in
the Great War, according to its
inventor, Prof. W. Lee Lewis, of
Chicago, The Toronto Telegram
relates.
Lewis, former Northwestern
University professor, and one-
time colonel of the Chemical War-
fare
arfare Service, said the U, S. War
Department for twenty-five years
had kept secret the formula for
a gas whose importance "two de-
cades of research have failed to
erase." He explained:
"It is more humane than mus-
tard and other gases used in the
First World War, in that its dead-
ly effectiveness reacts more
quickly.
"Lewisite is infinitely superior
to World War I gases in several
respects. The gas has a low
freezing point, and can be used
in remarkably cold regions. An-
other important factor is that an
area contaminated with the gas
remains contaminated for a long
period of time. Rain or moist
atmosphere will not dissipate its
force."
Adaptability
The lady is calm and cool as an
icicle;
If she can't get gas she can pedal
her bicycle,
A vehicle none should presume to
disparage,
And if that's in use she can drive
the carriage.
Should the carriage be otherwise
occupied,
Who cares when the horses are
there to ride!
Motors, bicycles, carriages, horses
Resourceful people are full of
resources.
We'll walk, since there isn't sa
bus to take;
When you can't have bread you
can do with cake.
