In addition to her seasoned units overseas, Canada is today training a modern, hard-hitting and speedy Army in
camps throughout Canada. Here mobile units of an infantry regiment, a motorcycle and universal carrier, speed
up the brow of a hill during training manoeuvres at Camp Borden.
H W CAN 1?
Q. How can I smooth irons
that have become rusty?
A. Irons that have become
rusty, sticky or rough can be
smoothed to a glass -like finish
by rubbing with salt and a piece
'of crinkled -up paper.
Q. How can I snake paint ad-
here to tinware?
A. Rub the surface thoroughly
with a piece of rough pumice
stone or coarse sandpaper. Then
apply a thin coat of shellac var-
nish, after which the surface may
be painted very nicely.
Q. How can I repair casters
that persist in dropping out of
chair and table legs whenever
'the furniture is moved?
A. Remove the caster, fill the
hole with melted paraffin, and
then quickly re-insert the caster.
There will' be no further trouble.
Q. How can I make smelling
salts?
A. By breaking one ounce of
rock volatile into small pieces,
then covering it with eau de
cologne, and allowing to stand
for a few days before using.
Q. How can I make the washing
of curtains easier?
A. It is unwise to attempt to
wadi the curtain as soon as
.they have been taken down. Place
them in cold water to which a
generous handful of borax has
been added and let them remain
soaking overnight. This will
loosen the dirt and the washing
will be much easier.
Have You Heard?
A piece of paper covered with
mystic figures and signs had been
discovered on the floor of the
aircraft factory,
It had been seen to fall from
the handbag of a girl worker who
had received it from a strange
woman at the works entrance.
Experts had been called in to
decipher the apparent code, but
all failed.
Finally the manager took it
home to study it further. His
wife supplied the solution.
"Why, John,' she exclaimed
with animation, "wherever did you
get this from? It's a knitting
system for a perfectly darling
sweater!"
. Macpherson took his
gramophone back to the shop.
Said the assistant: "It is
most unusual to have a ma-
chine returned after a year's
use. What's wrong with it?
"The needle's broken," ex-
plained Macpherson,
Nurse had occasion to visit
Johnny's mother. When site left,
Johnny was the not very proud
brother of twins. This did not
please him at all, he felt his nose
was put out of joint.
Some time later, Johnny's par-
ents moved to a neighboring vil-
lage, and in her visits, Nurse
came across Johnny at one of the
echools.
"Hello, young man," she said,
"stave you come to live here?"
"Yee," said Johnny, "but l'ln
not showing you which is our
house this tithe." -
"I don't like those eggs
you sen me yesterday."
"Why what was wrong
with thein?"
"Well, 1 thought they were
rather undersized for their
age."
Whit, fish again?" growled
Peck. ''We're always having
fish."
"Wcell, Jilin." Reid his wife,
"it's good for you. it ,feeds the
brain."
"Boshi Why should you think
ally brain needs so much Feeding?"
'Well, didn't. your 'mother give
ytli fish before yeti were mar-
ried?"
"No," he hissed, "I wish she
had."
The teacher was revising
the month's Scripture.
"Who was it went into the
lion's den and came out
alive?" he asked.
"Please, sir, the lion," said
Bright Bertie.
The teacher had asked her
class to write a short composition
on the subject, "Water".
One scholar seemed to be hav-
ing difficulty, but finally he
turned in his paper, and here is
what he wrote:
"Water is a light-colored, wet
liquid which turns dark when you
\vash in it!"
The teacher had asked the
class to write an essay on
"Our Dog",
Young Jimmy was the first
to finish. His effort read:
"Our Dog. We haven't got
one."
Warns Canadians
Altai _ st Spending
Mr. Donald Gordon Says
Consumer Rationing May Be
Necessary
"A buying spree of serious di-
mensions has been going on dur-
ing the past few months," stated
Mr. Donald Gordon, Chairman of
the War Time Prices and Trade
Board, in a recent speech. "It is
affecting almost everything for
current use that one could name
and it is beginning to place a
serious strain on some supplies.
This means that drastic action
will have to be taken very shortly
unless people decide to act rea-
sonably. There is absolutely no
reason for panic buying of the
essentials of life. There is abso-
lutely no excuse at all for any-
. body to get excited or to spread
rumors about this or that coning
shortage. But if, despite this
warning, people persist, then a
consumer rationing program will
be nese, saey with all its discom-
forts and waste of money. I ap-
peal to eecry person in this coun-
try to play ball. Anybody who
buys more than actual current
requirements of any supply of any
kind, is definitely a public enemy.
I repeat, anybody who buys more
than current needs of anything is
definitely undermining the war
effort of this country and playing
directly into the bands of the
enemy."
High Standard of Living
"Tile outstanding fact is that
after two and one-half years of
war, during which our announced
purpose has been the complete
mobilization of our full produc-
tive resources to divert everything
possible to our war effort, our
civilian population is still left
with a high average standard of
comfort --a standard just about as
high as it was before the war and,
certainly, one of the highest' in
the world at the present time. In
the face of that self-evident fact
I simply cannot understand why
any surprise should be expressed
when I point out that we are not
yet org=anized for total war. The
plain fact is that a high standard
of living and a total war effort
catenot go hand in hand."
"The foundation of the total
effort of any country is a correet
decision as to the minimum re-
quirements of the civilian popu-
lation," said Mr. Gordon, "Once
that is determined, production
and etrnsunption, except for war,
must be steadily told progressively

cut down to the minimum. Waste
must be eliminated; the manufac-
ture of all luxuries and many corn -
forts must cease, The surplus of
manpower and resources thus se-
cured must be used to make war."
Production Necessary
Calling for "iron discipline and
strength of purpose" by business
and industry to meet the demands
of total war Mr. Gordon said:
"This is not a government's war
or a party war but the people's
war."
"My appeal is for every person
responsible for any part of our
productive machinery to sit down
with others in the same line and
work out ways and means to • ob-
tain maximum production, regard-
less of immediate or future ad-
vantage ..
"Six months from now—a year
from now—it may be too late ...
If you really mean total war,
don't keep up a parrot cry for
leadership, get yourself into a
position where, by sheer weight
of organization and available pro-
ductive capacity, you will produce,
and produce, and produce."
Modern Etiquette
1. Is it considered improper
for a young woman to ask a young
man she admires to call upon
her?
2. When dining in a friend's
home, should a guest take a help-
ing of every dish the first time
it is offered?
2. What. would be an approp-
riate costume for a woman who
is going to travel quite a distance?
4. When the bride marries in
a travelling dress, what does the
groom wear?
5. When thanking someone for
a favor or courtesy, is it proper
to say "Thanks" or "Much ob-
liged"?
6. When making announce-
ments at a banquet, should the
master of ceremonies rise or re-
main seated?
SEATED
1. No, this is no longer con-
sidered improper as it was at one
time. The young woman of today
may say, "Mr. Carson, mother and
I will be at hone next Wednesday
evening. Would you like to stop
in for a little while?"
2. It is the most gracious thing
to do, even if one is not partial
to some particular dish.
3. .A. semi -dark tailored suit,
with fresh blouse, is appropriate.
4. An ordinary business suit,
qr one that is appropriate for
travelling, with perhaps a single
white flower from the bride's
corsage in his buttonhole.
5. Neither, the correct phrase
is "Thank you."
6. He should rise as a platter
of courtesy, and so that he can
be heard by all the guests.

What Science
Is Doing
DRIED MILK TO THE FORE
Dried milk is nothing new.
Large amounts are used in the
tropics and by bakers. But more
ought to be used, especially since
we have learned something about
the importance of vitamins and
minerals in food.
In the drying process, milk is
sprayed as a fine mist, whirled
in a warm chamber and :trapped
as a fine powder. There is no
doubt that the process deetroys
some vitamins. These can be
added. But some vitamin G (ac-
tually a "B") remains and all
the calcium, which is usually
lacking in the Canadian diet, No
other food can match dried skim
milk in its content of calcium,
protein and phosphorus.
What snakes powdered milk so
attractive are its concentrated
form and its keeping qualities.
A quart of separated milk re-
duced to powder weighs about
three ounces, fills three-quarters
of a teat -cup and ]seeps months
in a moisture -proof bag.
Roughly, one pound of milk
powder makes five quarts of re-
constituted milk, A quart of milk
made from powder contains about
three per cent more of the body-
building elements. of milk (cal-
cium, protein, phosphorus) than
a quart of whole milk because
there is no fat.
Now that the war has spread
to the Pacific, the need for pow-
dered milk is more pressing than
ever. In powder form, milk can
be shipped across the American
continent for as little as the cost
of moving whole wet milk six
miles. And the dried milk re-
sists bacterial attack a. hundred
tinges more effectively than liquid
milk and in some cases one thou-
sand tines,
Sugar Off U. S.
Market For Week
All sugar sales in the United
States will be halted at midnight,
April 27, for approximately one
week.
John E. Han11n, acting chief
of the Office of Price Administra-
tion, reported that sugar would
be off the market on April 28,
and would not be available to
buyersseagain until about May 5.
Hamm explained that the ban
was ordered as a step preparatory
to sales under rationing, which
will go into effect as soon as the
moratorium on sales ends.

LIT DOES TASTE GOOD !N A PIPE!"
It has not been determined fin-
ally whether the weekly individual
ration be a half -pound or, three-
quarters of a pound.
Officials stated the general reg-
istration of 131,000,000 American
citizens of all ages would be the
first and the largest task of its
bind ever undertaken, although
the census covered as much
ground on a "head -count" system.
Royal Air Force
Gets Its Own Fish
There is a fish shortage in Bri-
tain at the present time, but the
Royal Air Force is not particularly
worried about it, because it has
its own fishing fleet, which pro-
vides R.A.F. stations in the Lon-
don area with at least three tons
(3,000 kilograms) of fresh fish
every week.
The fleet, which consists of
seven boats and fifty-four Either
n1en, many of whom are invalided
ex -servicemen, was started by a
few enterprising officers. Sine*
its inception, it has supplied the
R,A.F. with nearly a quarter of
a million fish meals, representing
a catch of 121,240 pounds (six
thousand kilograms) and worth
more than £6,000.
When the weather is good,
some of the boats trawl, but most
of the fish are caught by means
of long lines.
One of the boats was recently
attacked by an enemy plane, but
it managed to elude the raider
and reached port safely.
Members of the R.A.F. are con-
tinuall; surprised at the variety
of the fish caught by their own
