It's a heap of old scrap the Aurora, Ill., roller factory is donating.
Each roller of the horse-drawn museum piece, vintage '88, scales
10,000 pounds. No, the girls are not standard equipment.
HOW CAN I?
Q. How can I avoid watery eyes
when peeling onions?
A. Dip the onion for a moment
into boiling water and then begin
at the root and peel upwards, It
will be found that this method
does not affect the eyes.
Q. How can I make use of bacon
rinds?
A. Save the rinds for flavoring
soups and dried peas and lima
beans. Spread over the top of
Boston beans wihle baking, they
take the place of the usual piece
of salt pork, imparting flavor and
protecting the top layer of beans
from burning.
Q. How can I make an old ivory
finish for woodwork or furniture?
A. An old ivory tint can be ob-
tained by tinting light ivory paint
with raw sienna and burnt umber.
After this, apply a glaze coat of
raw sienna mixed with burnt um-
ber and then wipe lightly.
Q. How can I make cretonne
draperies hang more evenly?
A. If cretonne draperies ase
lined with a soft material of a
harmonizing color it will bring
out the pattern of the material,
and the draperies will hang more
evenly.
Q. How can I keep parsley fresh
for a long time?
A. Parsley, put in an airtight
glass jar and then placed in the
refrigerator, will stay green and
fresh for a. long time. This is a
much better way than trying to
keep it in water, where it usually
turns yellow within a day or two.
Canada Halts
Liqu r Output
Distilleries Diverted F o r
Manufacture of Synthetic
Rubber and Chemicals
Production of beverages by Can-
aiiian distilleries will be halted
Nov. 1 and the entire output di-
verted to war purposes, the
Munitions and Supply Department
announced last week,
The order issued by Chemicals
Controller E. C. Sterne, has no
direct effect on sales of beverages
already manufactured and does not
apply to the manufacture of beer
and wine. There was no immed-
iate indication of how long exist-
ing stocks of distilleries will sup-
ply present demands. Distilled
Iiquors are stored for at least two
years for maturing.
Mr. Sterne said the entire out-
put of Canadian distilleries was
required for the manufacture of
synthetic rubber and chemical and
explosive needs of the United Na-
tions.
Similar action was taken In the
United States, The United States
war production board in Washing-
ton ordered the entire output of
America's distilleries diverted in-
to industrial alcohol for wartime
purposes after Oct. 8.
Precautions hi
Drying Laundry
Increasing the serviceable life of
textiles is all important these days
to cut down consumption of raw
materials, and decrease the man-
hours of labor, and machine -hours
used in manufacturing them.
Here are two precautions in
laundering. First, don't hang
laundered clothes out all day hi
the sunshine, Bring them in anon
after they're dry. It has reeeatiy
been shown that sunlight damage
to fahrirs is quite appreciable,

When Automobiles
Annoy d Farmers
The following item came from
the Hanover Post files of twenty
years ago. It had been reproduced
then from a fifteen -year-old paper,
and had appeared originally in one
of the Walkerton weekly news-
papers under the headline, "The
Automobile Nuisance."
"In Kincardine one day last
week, an automobile frightened a
horse, the horse ran away, the
driver was thrown out of the rig
and had his leg broken. It is be-
coming very apparent from Mei-
dents like this that something
will have to be done about these
automobiles. For several years
past the farmers in the vicinity
of Toronto have been agitating for
a law to restrain automobiles from
using the public highways 'but so
far have not been able to accom-
plish anything. But gradually the
nuisance is becoming more gen-
eral,
"Nearly every town in the prov-
ince has its automobile now and
some of them have more than one.
The machines go scooting through
the country in all directions and
no road is sacred to them. Horses
that are easily enough controlled
in the presence of a railway train
will go crazy at the sight of an
automobile and accidents such as
the above are happening all over
the country. It will not bo long
before the automobile will drive
the farmers off the public high-
ways altogether unless something
is done to restrain them.
"The farmers built these high-
ways in the first place and are
taxing themselves every year to
keep them in repair and it must
be more than a little annoying
to them to be thus dispossessed
by this new machine. What they
ought to do is pledge every can-
didate for Parliament to use his
vote and influence in favor of 1L
law prohibiting autoinobiles from
using the pubilo highways alp
together, or at least under condi-
tions that will not interfere with
traffic."
Have You Heard?
Three jovial travellers were din-
ing together at a hotel one day,
when it was agreed between thein
that whichever of them possessed
the oldest name should be exelilpt
from paying the cost of the din-
ner each one was enjoying,
The first traveller man said:
"My name is Richard live, and
that is rather old, you must ad-
mit"
The next man replied: "My
name is Adam Brown; I go further
than you."
The third traveller, with... a
merry twinkle in his eye, took his
business card from his pocket and
showed it to the other two, who
read on it these words: "Mr. B.
Ginning."
"How did you learn to use
both hands equally well, Pat?"
'Sure, now, and me father,
he always said to me; 'Pat,
learn to cut your fingernalla
with yure left hand, for some
day_ye might be afther losing
yer right hand.'"
"That new man Charlie we've
got on the pumps is certainly a
live wire," said the manager of the
gas station.
"Really?"
"Yes. A motorist drove up just
now and shouted: 'Dionne Quin-
tuplets'!"
"That was a puzzler, wasn't it?"
"Not to Charlie, He simply said,
'Yes, sir,' and gave him five gals.!",
Garage Mechanic — What's
the trouble, lady?
Mrs. Newdriver — They say
that I have a short circuit,
Can you lengthen It while I
waft, please?
A candidate for parliament de-
claimed: "The people of this coun-
try must grow more wheat."
"How about hay?" yelled a
heckler.
"I'm talking about food for man-
kind," retorted the candidate, "but
I'll get around to your case in a
minute."

Soon To Be Um
1,600 Mile Route Being Com-
pleted Ahead of Schedule
The Alaska Highway will be
ready for use about Dec. 1, War
Secretary Henry Stimson announc-
ed and traffic is expected to move
steadily over its 1,600 miles until
spring thaws make it impassable
in April and May.
Not only is the highway being
completed months ahead of sched-
ule, Stimson said, but instead of
the contemplated rough "pioneer"
road, the "highway as it is new be-
ing constructed by the corps of
engineers is a well -graded, well -
drained truck road for practically
its entire length and will afford
two-way traffic over many long
stretches."
Stimson said that muskeg, the
bog moss that was expected to give
the highway an unsteady base over
long stretches and provide some
of the worst problems of the un-
dertaking, had proved to be a
minor consideration.
Connects With Railways
The highway, beginning at Daw-
son Creek, B.C., runs northwest to
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, and
then crossed the Alaskan boun-
dary, terminating at Fairbanks. it
connects with the rail and high-
way systems of Southern Canada
and the United States at Dawson
Creek, and not only provides a
motor highway to Alaska, but
serves also as a feeder route for
various military airfields which
previously had to depend on air
transport alone for all supplies.
Army arrangements for winter
maintenance of the road include
rest camps for the operators of
truck convoys, barracks for en-
gineer maintenance troops, and
weather observation and tele-
phone installations the leugth of
the highway.
Construction:: began in March.

WHAT SCIENCE
IS MING
RUt6BER LATEX
So you'd give your shirt to help
win the war? Of course you
would.
Well, Baby's beaten you to it,
Science Service points out, for
he's already given his pants. In
the United States they're wrap-
ped around the army's telephone
lines.
How rubber latex that used to
be used in making necessary arti-
cles of infant's wear now goes into
insulation for light -weight com-
munication lines was related be-
fore the Eighth Annual Chemurgic
Conference at Chicago, by Dl'. M.
C. Teague, research chemist of the
United States Rubber Company.
The latex -insulated telephone wire
is produced by 'a multiple dip pro-
cess using a special latex com-
pound. It weighs only 30 pounds
per mile, as compared with 168
pounds per mile of tae older -type
wire. The government has already
ordered more than 100,000 miles
of the new wire, enough to go four
times around the earth.
The list of latex articles used
in war is a long one. It includes
bullet-proof fuel tanks for air-
planes, life rafts, pilot balloons,
gas masks, aviators' helmets,
blackout paint, sponge cushioning
for use in tanks, submarines, gun -
sight eyepieces and a thousand
other things.
All of this has meant, of course,
that civilians have had to get
along without the two -way -stretch
fabrics that have come to be stand-
ard parts of bathing suits, founda-
tion garments, shoe tops and "elas-
tic" generally.
Again the rubber industry has
come to the rescue. Dr, Teague
told about a new "synthetic" latex
made from reclaimed rubber.

Cannibals Prove
Good Workmen
Caunibals make good laborer.%
for Uncle Sam, reports Capt. Mar-
tin Teem, U.S. infantry officer.
He said cannibals, soldiers, sail-
ors and marines all were working
together in construction of a stra-
tegic airfield in the South Pacific.
"Needing labor," eaid Captain
Teem, "we sent a sergeant to an
adjoining island to get labor re-
cruits.
"When he got to the village
the cannibals were just finishing
a feast. The main dish was 10
women stolen from a neighboring
tribe. It seems the rival tribe stole
the wife of the chief and this tribe
retaliated by stealing the other
chiefs 10 wives. So the sergeant
says.
"It was known these were can-
nibals, but friendly to the whites.
They only eat each other.
"The sergeant dickered and
they agreed to come over and help
us for a certain period. They'd
heard of the good treatment and
good wages Americans gave other
natives and they were glad to try
it.
