HOW CAN I?
Q. How can I polish out small
scratches on glass?
A. They may be partially pol-
ished out by rubbing with rouge
wet with water upon a piece of
soft leather. However, if the
scratches are deep, It will be
necessary to grind them out with
the finest flour emery, such as
that used by opticians, and the
spot polished with rouge and water
in a piece of soft leather.
Q. Hw can I remove calcimine?
A. Ordinary calcimine may be
washed off with water. However,
if necessary, add some alkaline
substance such as soap powder,
ammonia, trisodium phosphate, o2
borax, to the water.
Q. How can I loosen the dirt
when soaking curtains?
A. A half -cup of salt added to
the water in which curtains ars
being soaked loosens the dirt /*ore
rapidly and aids materially In the
laundering.
Q. How can I repair a leak in
the rubber hot water bottle?
A. By applying several pieces
of liquid court plaster, letting
each piece dry before applying the
next, and slaking each piece a
little larger than the preceding
one.
Q. What is the best method of
cleaning eye glasses?
A. By first moistening the tips
of the fingers, rubbing them over
a cake of soap, and then rubbing
them over the sides of the lens.
Polish as usual. Cold cream or
Vaseline are also very good cleans-
ers. Rub well afterwards with
tissue paper.
"Bring YouroScrap
And Cook A Jap"
The scrap heap, now beginning
to tower on many a villag-e green,
invites the antiquarian to linger
for a pensive moment, remarks
The New York Times. "Bring
your scrap and cook a Jap," says
a sign rising above a huge old
iron cauldron that reminds of the
departed days of home-made soap.
The horse -and -buggy age is well
represented; one sees bridle bits,
wagon wheel jacks and tires,
horseshoes shiny from being
tossed at iron stakes, carriage
lamps still holding their candle
stubs, and a metal currycomb.
There are doorstep mud -scrapers,
a fireplace crane, the frame of a
boneshaker bicycle, a rusty anvil
and a Civil War cistern pump.
Numerous are heavy iron pots and
kettles with legs to hold them out
of the flame, and flatirons that
needed strong and devoted hands
to push them. Treasured, or at
least saved, for generations, these
possessions come now to serve the
country's need.
Have You Heard?,
A new system of memory train-
ing was being taught in a village
school, and the teacher was ba-
eoniing enth"hsiastle.
- "For instance," he said, "sup-
posing you want to remember the
name of a poet—Bobby Burns.
IMx in your mind's eye a picture
of a policeman in flames. See—
Bobby Burns?"
"Yea, I see," said a bright pupil.
"But how is one to know it dot*

One in particular, he told hint,

plained it would run eight days

"For the love of Mike!" ex-

What Science
is Doing
BLOOD DRYING
British scientists are spending
a legacy of nearly 1100,000 on a
blood freezing and drying plant
which will carxy development of
life-saving plasma still another
great stride forward. Every dol-
lar spent may represent a life or
more saved.
Building of the machine, largest
yet erected for the freezing and
drying of plasma, will put Britain
ahead in a field of science which
le being diligently studied, for
peace as well as war, by all fight-
ing nations. It was made possible
through a gift to the Medical Re-
search Council by trustees of the
late millionaire chemist, Sir Henry
Wellcome.

e, century, then anearthquake

around for e00 years and were
,finally sold.
Retains Quality Indefinitely
The machine resembles a giant
refrigerator coupled to a group
of tall cylinders. Through a new
process discovered by British sci-
entists, it will freeze and dry
each week the blood gifts of 10,-
000 donors. Next week—or even
eight years from now—the frozen
dried plasma will give life to sick
and wounded in any climate, be-
cause it retains its quality indef-
initely.
Dried plasma is saving lives in
Egypt today, and British war-
ships, fighting their way to Rus-
sia, or Malta, carry the flake-like
substance to save lives in the
middle of intense actions or rag-
ing gales.
British blood also flows in the
veins of many Chinese soldiers,
wounded in the never -ceasing
fight against Japan. To reach
the Chinese the blood gifts from
Britain are sent thousands of
miles by air and sea and pass
through all kinds of temperatures.
Yet the plasma remains perfect.
Spin -Freezing
The new plasma plant will pro-
duce 3,500 units, frozen dried and
ready for use, weekly. The freez-
ing and drying process is known
as spin -freezing. A bottle con-
taining liquid plasma is fitted on
a shaft which rotates at high
speed. The contents, whirling in
a bottle, forms a cone, giving the
low temperature a greater ex
panes of liquid to freeze. Sud-
denly the plasma freezes and the
liquid is drawn out under a high
vacuum process, leaving only the
golden, dry plasma flakes. Then
the bottle is sealed, ready for
use.

MODERN
ETIQUETTE
By Roberta Lee
1. When a hostess and three
guests have sat down for a game
of bridge, and a fifth friend drops
in, what should the hostess do?
2. When introducing two men,
is it proper to say, "Mr. Baker,
this is my friend, Mr. Harris?"
3. In what position should a
person hold his head while eating
at the table?
4. When one has been invited
to a party, or other affair, and •
after accepting he contracts a
severe cold, what should he do? -
5. Is it permissible for a guest
to open a conversation with an-
other guest when there has been
no introduction?
6. What does it indicate when
a man carries on a conversation
with a cigarette dangling from
his lips?
Answers
1. The hostess should either in-
vite the guest to take her place,
or suggest some other game such
as hearts or rummy, in which five
persons can play. 2. No; this
would imply that Mr. Baker is not
a friend. 3. The head should be
held in an erect position, without
appearing stiff. The body can
lean forward slightly, but the
head should never be bent at a
right angle. 4. Phone the hostess
and express how sorry you are
that you cannot attend. You are
being considerate not only of your
own welfare, but also of the other
people if you remain at home.
5. Yes, this is a very nice thing
to do. 6. Laziness, as well as i11 -
breeding. He probably considers
it useless exertion to lift his hand
and remove the cigarette.
A gun factory which six
months ago stood in a bomb -
scarred city in England has been
dismantled and shipped piece by
piece to the Ousted States, Ed-
ward R. Stettinius, Jr., Lend -
Lease Administrator, disclosed re-
cently.
Mr. Stettinius, in an article in
the new issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, cited the transfer
to show that lend-lease is now
"no longer a one-way street" di-
rectly
'.
aiding only 13. S. allies.
"It was easier and aster to
ship the factory than to ship the
guns," he wrote. "We paid noth-
ing for the arsenal. The British
consider themselves atnply repaid
by the damage these guns will in-
flect on the Germans and Japan-.
ese in the hands of our soldiers."
The British have also sent
"several thousand" barrage
bal-
loons to "protect vital spots along
`our coasts" sed from England
and other allied nations the Gov-
ernment has received "guns and
tools, nilitary
and scientific L

can spare and we are in a better

article said,
Surplus Of lice
Problem Of Japs
Japan Loses Large Market
Of Rice -importing Countries
Rice, a great deal too much of
it, offers the "makings" of a new
economic headache to Japan, as e.
result of the conquest of the
world's principal rice -producing
areas in Indo-China, Burma and
Thailand, Science Service points
out. These countries together
grow nine billion pounds of rice
a year; the import requirements
of all the lands now under Japan-
ese domination are less than four
billion. What to do with the rest
of it?
The biggest rice -consuming
countries that formerly imported
heavily from the great rice-produo-
ing region were India and Ceylon
(4,500,000,000 pounds), Europe (2,-
500,000,000),
2;500,000,000), the rest of the world
altogether, something over 1,000,-
000,000 pounds a year. All thin
market is now loss as long as the
Japs hold the region, explains F.
J. Rositer in "Far Eastern Sur-
vey," New York.
The peoples of the great rice
peninsula are going to be as badly
up against it as the wheat farm-
ers of this continent were during
the worst of the depression, when
they could not sell their crops
for money to buy overalls and
shoes,
Rice can't be stored with any
great success in that hot, humid
region. Probably.the greater part
of the crop will rot in the bins.
The western hemisphere long
dependent upon the Orient for a
large part of its rice supply, has
become 95 percent self-sufficient
in rice production since the out-
break of World War H.

Spitfires Proven
In Battle Action
American Planes Not As
Good For Job As Spitfires
"American fighter pilots are fly-
ing Spitfires because American
'planes, which they were at first
expected to fly, just were not good
enough for the jolb", said William
H. Stoneman, correspondent of the
Chicago Daily News, in a recent
despatch from England.
That may start an argument,
but we do not know why it should.
American blueprints, American
construction, American perform-
ance in airplanes may be the best
in the world, but the sky over
England has seen. more 'planes
in battle action than any other
part of the world, and the actual
test is warfare, not theory. The
Spitfire has proved itself inthe
laboratory of war.
Resources Should Be Pooled
In the last war, we had no
hesitancy In taking over the
French 75 -men. gun because it was
fax superior• to our three Incl`
gun, and we depended almost en-
tirely on our allies for airplane,,
although we did contribute the
Liberty motor late in the war.
In our search for perfection we
delayed producing machine-guns,
and had to borrow inferior makes
from our friends; by necessity,
we took an inferior F,nglish rifle
because it could be produced mord
rapidly than our proved Spring
field.
But we see no reason why the
United Nations should not pool
their resources to get the best
weapons in every category, regard
less of 'who produces them or
where. And if the Spitfire is the
best in sight, let us use it until
a better has been found—alud
proved better.
More than 88,090 jigs, dies, fix-
tures,
ixtures, and special tools are re-
quired for the construction of
Canadian -made Valentine tank.
