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. T IISSES AlDOMINAL SUPPORT'S Write For Catalogue To S. J. JDe� w W 149 Church St., Toronto 26 Years ZFrsteloiarkett 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. • ire 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. SAYE UP TO SO%e r - 1/4�; y IASY TOMS ..

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. Recall 1920 Prices And Cheer Up!

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, CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS ,1CCOtU)tQNS WANTED ACCORDIONS WANTED Best prices paid for piano accordions, twelve to hun- dred and twenty bass.
