Molybdenite
Second Most Urgently Needed
Of All Strategic Minerals
In World War No. 1 the Allies
learned from captured German
gun barrels some of the !eagle of
molybdenum. Then Britain bought
up every pound of molybdenite,
Arte compound, that Norway could
produce to keep any of the sup-
ply from flowing to Germany.
In this War today molybdenite
las even more sought after by the
Makers of high speed tools and
every kind of high grade steel.
This is a war of guns, planes,
tanks and armour where speed in
aping, and stronger and longer -
fed steel can win,
New 5 Oust Coin
To Replace Nickel
Canada's new 12 -sided five -cent
pieces, likely to be in circulation
ilext month, will be made of cop-
per and zinc, an alloy known as
tombac, Hon. J, L. Ilsley, Finance
Minister, announced last week.
Mr. Ilsley, announcing in the
Commons Aug. 1, the Govern.
ment'•s intention to introduce the
new coin, said the action was
being taken to preserve Canada's
nickel supply for war purposes.
Mr. Ilsley described the com-
position of the new coin as "an
admixture of Dopper and zinc, sim-
liar to 'prince's metal,' named aft-
er Prince Rupert, and also an
allloy called 'tombac,' from Malay
'tombaga,' ' a popular alloy for
jewelery in the East Indies."
Easy To Distinguish
The Finance Minister explained
that the dodecagonal coin Is de-
signed to prevent confusion with
the one -cent, 10 -cent or 25 -cent
coins.
"Its size should prevent it from
being elusive," he said, "and it will
be easy to distinguish and extract,
when mixed with other coins in a
purse or trouser's pocket, by its
unique and peculiar shape.
"It has neither the milled edge
f the silver nor the plain round
edge of the former nickel or the
one -cent piece, so that even a
aTtrayed reveller in the dark would
not be likely to bestow it upon
some unworthy recipient in mis-
take for a quarter.
A War Measure
"The size, weight and thickness
alter exactly the sante as the pres-
ent 5 -cent nickel coin in circula-
tion. It will, therefore, operate in
the pay station telephones and
will fit coin -change -making ma-
chines in theatres, on street rail-
way cars and buses.
"To the end of 1941 there had
been nearly 90,000,000 nickel coins
issued from the mint, so that any-
one should have no difficulty in
getting a nickel piece, if they so
desire, for years to come.
"The elimination of nickel coin-
age is really a 'victory' measure,
and is expected to release about
60 tons of nickel a year for war
purposes, After the war the coins
oan be recalled, or, if returned as
wore coin, can be made into
bronze cents without difficulty or
loss.
What Science
is . ing
(ELIXIR OF HIPS
The hip harvest was bountiful
is Scotland last autumn -134,000,-
000 hips weighing 200 tons were
gathered before the Ministry of
Health cried halt and further tons
of hips ware collected in Eng-
land, so that this spring British
druggists marketed 600,000 bottles
of hip syrup. Hips are the soft
scarlet, hairy fruit ° of the rose.
Boy scouts and women's services
were sent on their finger -pricking
harvest when British ohemiets
found that rose hips are au ab-
surdly rich source of vitamin 0}-
400% ricrher than oranges (now
rare as mangoes in Britain) and
300% richer than black ourraute
(C•riohest aultivated fruit). All
this: was reported in copies of
Monthly Science News recently
arrived In the U. S. from Eng-
land.
Following antique herbals, many
housewives concocted their own
elixir of hips. Widespread result:
they found themselves not only
spooning out vitamin 0 to their
bairns, but, as corks popped in
pantries, indulging in a potent
home-brew. Amused but impressed,
one British medical journal ob-
served: "We may even see hip
syrup competing with orange juice
after the war."—Time
aO CAN I?
Q. How can I keep neckties trent
curling when washing them?
A. Before washing washable
neckties, baste the linings in place,
so they will not curl and become
lumpy. Then remove the basting
before ironing.
Q. How can I remove mud status
from garments?
A, Let the mud dry on the gar-
ments. Then try brushing with a
stiff Whisk broom, and it that
doesn't prove effective, try scratch-
ing it off with the edge of a penny.
This Is just as sharp as is needed,
and will usually do the work with-
out injuring the material.
Q. How can I keep flies and
other insects away from freshly -
painted surfaces?
A. By mixing a little bay oil
(laurel oil) with the oil paint. Or,
place a receptacle containing this
oil in the vicinity of the painted
objects. The pungent odor will
keep off the flies.
Q. How can I make good pot -
holders?
A. When making pot -holders, It
is a good idea to insert a Layer
of leather from an old glove
through the center; This will el-
iminate danger of burned fingers,
as leather is a nonconductor of
heat.
Q. How can I remove grass
stains from white cotton fabric?
A. White goods may be sponged
with clear ammonia for the re-
moval of grass stains. For silks
and woolens, white or colored, use
alcohol.
In one day recently 250,000
women, including mothers and
grandmothers, registered for war
work in Britain.

WOOD WINS CANADIAN OPEN
Shooting 13 under par for 72 holes Craig Wood won the Cana-
d'ian Open at Mississauga Golf Club, Toronto, on Saturday, even
though Ben Hogan was the favorite. tere, after shooting three sub-
par rounds and one of even par, Craig Wood is shown receiving the
Seagram Gold Cup, which goes to the winner, along with $1,000 as
well as the replica which will be added to his collection of trophies.
J. E. Frowde Seagram is on the left making the presentation.
"Sawdust Fusiliers"
Fight Forest Fires
Fighting forest fires in the
Highlands is a new role of the
Canadian Forestry Corps.
Recently the "Sawdust Fusil-
iers" distinguished themselves by
bringing under control a dozen
big fires and many small ones
which threatened Scottish timber
stands, immensely valuable to the
war effort.
They fought the outbursts for
10 days with all the old skill they
used in Canada when they battled
summer blazes as civilian lumber-
men in the north woods. Com-
mendation was received from the
British Ministry of Supply for the
way the Canadians saved the for-
ests.
Scotland had had a warm, rain-
less month and woods were bone
dry, Trains passing by used to
spit out the occasional burning
cinders as they passed and as an
officer said "in less time than it
would take to say London, Mid-
land and Scottish Railway, there
was a lovely little fire."
Soon it was neither lovely nor
little and the Canadians were
called out. British troops helped
them but it was a Canadian fire
pump, veteran of many an Ontario
and Quebec blaze, that really did
the job on the large fires.
Eight forestry corps companies
of about 250 men each were in-
volved in the fire fighting.
Tiny Men Needed
For Midget Subs
The Australian radio reported
recently that a number of small
boys, taking advantage of their
size, climbed into a Jap midget
submarine on exhibition in Sydney
and defied all efforts to pry them
out.
The submarines were so small,
said a broadcast recorded by
CBS, that adults could not go in
after the boys, who "remained
until they were disposed to come
out themselves."
The broadcast said that naval
officers expressed their astonish-
ment that men small enough to
man the submarine could be
found even in Japan. One officer
estimated the maximum height
possible as four feet two inches.
The submarine was raised from
the harbor after it was sunk dur-
ing a recent attack on Sydney.
cad ern Etiquette
1. When you have a friend whose
faults you would like to correct,
what would be the best thing to
do?
L. When writing a letter to an

3. Isn't it all right to eat soft
fruits with the spoon?
4. Is it good taste for a girl to

5. When drinking any kind of
refreshment, ebouid a little be left
in the glass?
6. Is a courteous motorist al-
ways careful about throwing away
his lighted cigar or cigarette stub?
Answer
I. Overlook these faults, and
concentrate on the qualities be
possesses that has made hien your
friend. Perhaps you have a fault
that this friend is generous enough
to ignore. 2. "Mary Bridges." 3. The
fork should be used for soft fruits,
vegetables, salads, meats, cakes,
and pies. The knife and spoon
should be used as little as pos-
sible. 9.

Have You Heard?
Jos Davidson, the American
sculptor, was idling about the
streets of Paris when he was ap-
proached by an unkempt Arab who
was carrying several carpets oft
his shoulder. "Buy a carpet?"
asked the street seller.
"No, no!" said the sculptor.
"They smell!"
"How dare you say that!" cried
the Arab indignantly. He drew
himself up proudly. "I'll have
you know, monsieur, that my car-
pets do not smell. It is I!"
Simms: "And you reckon
you save money by going
through the household At.
counts every evening with
your wife?"
Grant: "I save dollars, old
naan. By the time we balance
lt's too late to go anywhere."
A parrot lived in the bar of an
inn, and was accustomed to note
the rush of business every Satur-
day night.
One Saturday it left its cage to
explore the neighborhood, and was
eventually found in a field ser -
rounded by crown, who were bug-
le- depriving it of its feathers.
When the rescue party arriv-
ed, the parrot was heard ejacu-
lating: "One at a time, gentlee-
men,, if you please. Ons at a time;
you'll all be served."
Teacher: "Tommy,. how
many make a few?"
Tommyz "Three or flour."
"How many- males a
chosen?"
"Twelve."
"How many make a mil-
lion?"
"{Very few."
A typical example of tha un-
conquerable Cockney spirit. A
famous city tavern, windows shat-
tered, has the following notice
posted up where the windows
once stood:—
OPEN
tood:OPEN AS USUAL
The little tea and coffee shop
next door, windows all shattered,
has gone one better and an-
nounces cheerily:—
MORE OPEN THAN USUAL,
Dressmaker — "1 consider
this the most perfect fit I've
over seen."
Customer — "Well, you
should see the fit my husband
will have when he get* the
bihl."
"I see, dear," remarked the
wife, reading from her newspaper,
"that a woman has been awarded
22,000 damages for the loss of a
thumb. I shouldn't have thought
a thumb was as valuable as that."
"Perhaps she kept her husband
under it," grunted her husband.
"Ws Liao little things that
keep people awake at night,"
says a doctor.
Especially those aged one

Drastio economy Neceesary
iri Domestic Coal Conevump-
'Oen
In almost three years of was^,
life in Britain has 'become mors
and more Spartan, but new re-
strictions will make it even more
rigorous.
A development likely to involve
many hardships next winter is the
call for saving 10,000,000 tons of
coal. Domestic consumption has
to be cut by 6,000,000, while the
remaining 4,000,000 will be saved
through economies by larger coal
users.
Old clothes are being reno-
vated to such an extent that ahope
doing this work are unable to
keep pace with the orders. In
one large London shoe repairing
shop there are 15,000 pairs of
shoes waiting to be repaired and
new orders cannot be filled for
three or four weeks.
Stocking Situation Serious
The firms that undertake "in-
visible mending" of stockings are
requiring two weeks for deliver-
ies, and the whole stocking situa-
tion is so acute that there will
shortly be special shops where
stockings can be resoled and re -
heeled from salvaged material
which has been sterilized.
In every big store you can now
get shirts recollared and recuffed
from material taken off the tail.
You can get .a woman's suit made
up from a man's tailcoat and
trousers.
After Aug. 1 no more articles
not considered strictly useful will
be manufactured. That means no
more ornamental glassware, coffee
percolators, soup spoons, metal or
rubber toys, jewelry, leather
trunks, eyebrow tweezers, to name
a few.
Less water far baths and fewer
baths is urged. The plimsoll line
