Getsometodayl 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.

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.

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.

Life hi i ritain Will 'wF" Harden 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 of a bath is set at a five -inch levet and the official injunction lit "Have a bath every other day."
