Taking to the people his unprecedented warning to Congress to curb wages and farm prices or
"I will take the responsibility and I will act," Pre sident Roosevelt is pictured as he made his Labor
Day "fireside chat" In addition to reiterating the highlights of his earlier message to Congress, the
President declared a second front will be opened.
What Science
Is Doing
CITRUS JUICES—Over a halt
million gallons of concentrated cit
rous juices are to be made in Flor-
ida by the Department of Agricul-
ture and shipped abroad to pre-
vent outbreaks of scurvy among
tie peoples at war. The concen-
trated juice in the form of a syrup
is now being put into medicine
bottles for the benefit of children
by British pharmaceutical houses.
FROZEN EGGS—Frozen eggs ars
now being peeked in cellophane,
with. an outside overcoat of card-
board to save metal. Heretofore,
eggs were removed from the
shells, poured into tin cans, hold-
ing thirty pounds each, and then
frozen and stored. The tin cans
previously used required two
Pounds of metal each. The cello-
phane lined containers have no
metal at all, except for wire stitch-
ing in some instances.
RAYON INSULATORS — Silk
has been used to insulate wire
ever .since the days of Ben Frank-
Iin. Now that Japan is cut off
from the world the problem of
finding a substitute has been solv-
ed by Fred S. Strauss. Thanks
to his ingenuity a satisfactory
mica coated or varnished tape has
been developed which is now
much in demand. The tape meas-
ures less than two -thousandth of
an inch in thiclmess before it is
processed, yet provides a firm,
enduring wire -insulation chat can
be applied to the wires of tele-
phones. radios. loudspeakers and
motors.
Sopwith Yacht
Joins The Navy
-i,dmiation of American yachts-
men was excited by the luxurious
yacht Tom Sopwith built to tow
back to England his America's
Cup challenger. Endeavour II,
when she sailed across the At-
lantic in 1931 for the last race held
for the much contested trophy—
which he was unable to wrest
from Ranger, skippered by Harold
S. Vanderbilt.
Now, as H.M.S. Philan:e. she is
one of Britain's convoy ships, un-
der command of Lieut. Comdr. H.
J. R. Paramore of the Royal Navy.
But on her bridge she carries, in
the form of a length of towrope,
a memento of her exploit in drag-
ging Endeavour II over much the
same route.
Her oak -paneled wardroom can
seat fifty persons at dinner at one
table. The officers' cabins have
private bathrooms, divan beds and
the fittings of a West End hotel
suite, it is said.

Have You Heard?
Lite in the lonely desert coun-
try around Darwin, Australia, was
summed ulp last week by an Amer-
ican soldier on his arrival in Mel-
bourne from the northern outpost:
"It's this way, buddy. When you're
there a few weeks you find your-
self talking to yourself. After
that you find yourself talking to
the lizards. Atter another couple
of weeks you find the lizards talk-
ing to you. Then you find your-
self listening."
While a play was !n progress
a Lady turned in her seat and
said to a man behind: "I hope
my hat Is 'not annoying you?"
"It le, madam," was the re-
ply, "for my wife wants one
just tike it."
"Nature," explained the lectur-
er, "always tries to make compen-
sation. For instance, if a man.
loses an eye, the sight of the other
becomes stronger, and if he goes
deaf in one ear the hearing of the
other becomes acuter, and so on."
"Sure!" said Pat, to his neigh-
bor, "an' of believe he's right, for
oi've noticed that when a man
has a short Ieg the other is al-
ways longer."
Magistrate (sympathetically):
"Could the motorist have avoid-
ed you?"
Henpecked Victim (sadly)t
"He could that, your worship.
'E 'ad the choke of 'fitting me
or the misses, and 'e picked on
me."
Johnny heard in class one morn-
ing an explanation of the dogmas
of Communism, Fascism and Nazi-
ism, and seemed interested. "Now,
Johnny," said the teacher, when
his exposition had ended, "what
would you do with all these isms?"
"I'd make them into wasms,"
was his prompt and wise reply.
"Wasn't It Edison that said
four hours of sleep were enough
for any man?"
"He must be right --that's
exactly what my baby thinks."
Mother: "Well, Bobby, what do
you think of your new teacher?"
Bobby: "Oh, he's not bad in
himself, but one can't rely on what
he says,"
Mother: "lit. w is that?"
Bobby: "First, be said, 'Two
and two make four,' and then he
said, 'Three and one make four'."
Colonel (t, Irish servant):
"This is going to be a terrible
war, Pat."
Pat: "Sure, it's going to be a
terrible war, sor, but it'll be
better than no war et all, at all,"
Saved From Nazis
By Shamming Death
Company Sergeant Major John
Thomas Brown, of the sti Hus-
sars, who has just been awarded
the Military Medal, saved his life
and his wounded officer by sham-
ming death for four hours on the
desert battlefield, says a Cairo
report.
He was turned over by a (lea -
Man officer as the lay on the
ground,
Brown and his officer were Amt
at when the odtcer's tank broke
down, and Brown towedIt for
miles under enemy fire.
The officer Vas wounded in the
thigh, but Brown waited until the
eoa (t was clear and then carried
the wounded oilleer over it mile to
ifoli. •

HOW CAN I?
Q. How can I remove rust
from knife blades if the rust has
been allowed to remain for a long
time?
A. By sticking the blades up-
right into an onion and leaving
thein for some time. The blades
will then clean with an ordinary
scouring.
Q. How can I safely clean oil
paintings?
A. Use warm soapsuds. Wash
only a small section of the canvas
at a time, and wipe it dry. When
the entire surface is clean, go
over it with a cloth dipped in
linseed oil to prevent cracking.
Q. How can I prevent the
breaking of the sewing machine
needle when stitching through
heavy materials?
A. Rub the seams with yellow.
soap, and the needle will pen-
etrate the goods without danger
of breaking.
Q. How can I make a good
salad with cottage cheese?
A. Make a chive - seasoned
mound of cottage cheese on crisp
Iettuce, surrounded by pineapple
sections, and top with mayon-
naise.
Q. Haw can I relieve the burn-
ing of feet?
A. A little powdered tannin
or powdered borax shaken into the
stockings will work wonders if
you suffer from burning feet.
Either of these remedies is very
soothing.
Tons of Biscuits
Stored In Britain
Thousands of tons of Britain's
new "welfare" biscuit are being
stored away in preparation for a
national emergency.
The biscuit has been evolved,
after ninny tests, by British bis -
(mit makers who are now, to the
number of 240, united with the
cake makers in the Cake and Bis-
cuit Manufacturers' Wartime Alli-
ance, a non -profitmaking organiz-
ation,
The Welfare is a sweet biscuit
made from wheatmeal flour, the
purest vegetable fat, and the fin-'
est grade of sugar. It gives the
maximum of nutrition at the Iow
price of Od. per Ib., and the in-
dustry regard it as the best value
ever offered to the public.
The biscuits are mainly obIong,
for, although the ingredients are
standardized, the shapes vary a
little so as not to limit produc-
tion to a few cutting .machines.
They are carefully packed in
tins stored in cases of 50 lbs,
weight which will preserve them
indefinitely in all climates.

Mighty Battleship
Launched In U, S.
45,000 -Ton Man -of -War Seven
Months Ahead of Schedule
The 45,000 -tog. battleship lowsa,
one of the greatest inert -o' -war
ever built, slid down the ways of
the New Yorli Navy yard last
week, seven months ahead of
schedule,
.aunching ceremonies were
simple and brief, because of war-
time restrictions and the necessity
of causing the least interference
to important work in progress on
other vessels.
She was the first of six, super -
battleships to be launched, .rive
more—grew Jersey Missouri, Wis-
consin, Illinois and Kentueky—are
being built— u other shipyards.
Iowa's keel was laid on .rune 27,
1940,
880 Feet Long
Mast of Iowa's specifications
are secret, but it may be revealed
that her main battery will be of
16 -inch guns. She is 880 -feet long.
The area of all her decks and
platforms is 91/2 acres. There are
80 miles of pipe within her, 17
for refrigeration end cooling. Fif-
teen miles of manila and wire
rope are required. The total
length of electric cable required
is 250 miles, ana if the conduc-
tors in the caible were laid end to
end, they would reach 1,700 miles.
Her generators have a capacity
of 10,000 kilowatt hours, or
enough electricity for a city of
20,000. On her trial trip, she will
' displace enough water to flood
46 acres of land one foot deep.
Because of iter extreme width
and launching weight, four seta
of ways were used. The launch-
ing required 45 tons of heavy
grease.

MODERN
ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee
1, What is really the pin -
pose of a tuxedo, and what is the
origin cf the weird?
2. When a marriage engage-
ment has been broken, is a girl
entitled to consider the gifts and
engagement ring the elan has
given her as belonging to her?
3. .What kind of invitations
are issued for a cocktail party?
4. Should a girl ever send a
gift to a man whom she likes?
5. Isn't an envious person un-
popular?
6, Who usually acts as hostess
when a woman's club gives a
luncheon party?
ANSWERS
1. It is an evening dress for
men's wear on occasions not re-
quiring a formal fulldress suit.
It comes from the name of a
country club at Tuxedo Park, in
southeastern New York. 2. No;
she should return all of these,
3. These invitations are usually
extended over the telephone or
by person -al contact. 4. Not un-
less she is engaged to be married
to this man, and then the only
gifts necessary are at Christmas
and on his birthday. 5.Yes, al-
ways. An old Latin proverb says,
"He who envies another admits his
own inferiority." And of course it
"is difficult for an inferior per-
son to become popular. 6. The
-president of the club.
Hot `Iron Rations'
For British Army
When a man in ,the British
Army has to resort to his "iron
rations" today, he sets off a mini-
ature incendiary bomb and heats
himself a can of soup.
The soup trick is decidedly
clever. Sealed in the tin is a
small thermite cylinder. A wick
protrudes through the top. When
one wants to use the soup, he
simply touches a match to this
wick, and in a matter of minutes,
the soup is boiling hot.
There are too, of course, con-
densed rations. In a container
about the size of a sardine tin
are packed the needs of a man
for 48 hours.
Geography, and the cosmopoli-
tan aspect of the British Army,
complicate the problems of the
scientists who are constantly con-
ducting research into food supply.
There must be special food packs
for men in fighting vehicles, and
also for those serving in the Arc-
tic regions. Widely varying tastes
of different races, and even re.
ligious restrictions on diet, must
be taken into account,
