Bernard Law Montgomery, commander of the imperial Eighth Army. A bishop's son, he neither smokes nor drinks; makes the physical fitness of his men his wartime gospel. Spurs won. in World War 1, when he was wounded twice, won two medals and was mentioned six tines in dispatches, are digging deeper into Nazi flanks today. He personally supervised getting his men off the beach at Dunkirk, smashed Rommel's attempt to break through the desert lines in September, and now is chasing the Nazi strong man back where be came from. HOW CAN 1? Q. How can I prevent stains when ironing over a spot on which peroxide has been applied to re- move scorch? A. Do not iron directly on the spot moistened with peroxide, as this leaves rust stains on the gar- ment. Place a clean dry cloth over the spot and iron with a meditlln warm iron, replacing the top cI•oth when the peroxide soaks through. Q. How can I save time when sifting flour? A. When necessary to sift flour inaa or, .four.'tin,es,;. •do It on. Y. sheet of clean paper. It is much easier to pour the flour back into the sifter from a piece of paper. than from a bowl or other vessel. Q. How can I make a good dressing for salads? A. Roquefort cheese dressing is delicious when used on salads. To make it add one tablespoonful of erunbled Roquefort to regular French dressing. e Q. How can I remove the re- maining lacquer when it begins to peel on metals, such as brass and •copper? A.

How can I avoid having a hump in the centre of a table- : cloth? A. This can be avoided if, after laundering, the cloth is folded three times lengthwise before making the cross fold.

Have You Heard? Cooking was the young wife's hobby, and what she lacked in skill she ina:do up in zeal, Ono day, when a neighbor'a small boy ran an errand for her, she rewarded him with a generous helping of jam tart which she had made with her own fair hands, A. few minutes later the young- ster was beck again. , "Thank you very much for the jam," he said, with shy politeness. "Here's your bit of board back!" McPherson's a cheat, and ah'in no playin' golf wi' him again." "How's that?" "Wee], hoo could he fire his Iast ba' a yard free the green when it wis in ma pock. et?" Radio comedian Red Skelton has no illusions as to his vacation plans for next year. He says: "I'm planning on taking my vacs•• tion next year in Tokyo. Fd thought I'd stay at the MacArthur Hotel on Doolittle Avenue right across from Roosevelt Park. Sounds like I'd enjoy it there." "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said the newly ar- rived Irish maid to the offi- cer's wife, "but is it Cdlonel or Major I should be calling the Captain?" Suitor: "I have come to ask for the hand of your darghtcr." Father: "Which one, Jane or Helen?" Suitor: "Jane, .1r." Father: "Do you make enough to support two?" Suitor: "No sir. One will be enough." "I took the recipe for this cake out of the cook -book." "You did perfectly right, dear. It never shouldhave been put in." WHAT SCIENLE IS DOING INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL Because of an entirely differ- ent set of economic conditions, European pulp mills are making one hundred gallons of industrial alcohol a year from the waste liquors of their six million tons of sulphite pulp production. I cite this as but one example of the path that lies ahead in deealopjsg the ' chemical values in our trees. The after -the -war chemical pos- sibilities for wood are by no means limited to alcohol. We catch some glimpse of the future by looking into the Germans' economy under wartime , duress, *here their military trucks are propelled by wood gas, where the citizens eat beef fed on cattle fodder made from wood cellulose. Our nation's chemical industry will look more and more to the trees as a source of its raw ma- terials, because timber is a crop and trees are renewable. SUN-BATHED MINERS English miners at the Manvers Main Colliery now bathe in arti- ficial sunlight bath on an assem- bly line designed by Dr. William Beaumont of London, England, and described in The British Medi- cal Journal. The miners take a . shower bath, pass through a door and step onto a conveyor belt which carries them along a corri- dor illuminated by mercury arse that radiate ultraviolet light. At the end of the corridor the men step off the conveyer and pass through a door to their clean- clothes locker. The Krnpps mince; at Essen, says Dr. Beaumont, have used ultraviolet baths In the early days of the Hitler regime. Small White Hen Rides The Rods . A small white hen made a long trip on a 1<arecarioUe perch recent- ly, according to a report from Manitoba, The car next the engine con- tained poultry, and when the train reached Kelloe from Minnedosa, the crew discovered the hen perch- ed on the brake rod underneath the car. The car was loaded at Oxbow and had been to Brandon, Portage and Minnedosa and: was destined for Bredenbury—a trip of 97 miles. When still 36 miles from its destination the hen was still perched on the rod, moving. around every time the brakes were applied and released.

Poy, one of the defend- ers of Hoag Kong when it was attacked by Japan last December, told a serviee club in Ottawa the colony was without air and naval support for its land forces when the assault wee launched. "At the time Hong Kong was placed under attack, it had but five training planes and no naval support," he said. Japanese aircraft raided Hong Kong December 8, dropping bombs and pamphlets asking the Chinese .people to help Japan free the colony from British imperial.. ism. Japanese troops appeared the next day, and December 11. and 12 the defending forces re- treated to the island under inces- sant shelling and bombing. "At this time, said Mr. Poy, "we were on Victoria Peak, with Canadian troops placed in two sections below us, guarding roads on the eastern part of the island. "The Japanese started shelling the island December 17. The night previous they sent several of their best swimmers out to the island to choose a spot for a land- ing. Two pilot boats laid down a smoke screen for them, and they were only a few hundred yards away when they were spotted. "When the smoke cleared they were engaging our troops. We could see loads and loads of troops coming over. The boats were bringing over not only men • but also horses and fodder. " , .. The Canadians, who,were exceptional, and put up a fight over which every Canadian should be proud, tried to mop the Japs up, but they were overcome by overwhelming odds. We had to surrender in the face of terrific odds. The Japs had 300,000 men in the Canton area, though they certainly did not use that many." Launch Delivers Canteen Supplies In any British Army camp of any size is to be found N.A.A. F.I. (pronounced Naffy, and standing for Navy, Army and Air Force Institute), which acts as a canteen and sells such things as chocolates, biscuits and. cigarettes. The N.A.F.F.I. goes abroad on active service and has many times become involved in, the fighting in Libya. At home the organiza- tion is responsible for packing the food that goes into airmen's res- cue dinghies, or is taken on raids' with the air crews. One of the most dangerous of N,A.9..F,I, jobs is the naval can- teen service which runs a small fleet of canteen launches — the Marine equivalent of a delivery lorry. Their job is to deliver can- teen stocks to ships at sea and to collect empties. Recently one old coxswain was detailed to take a launch fresh from the stocks and deliver her to her Scottish base by way of the Channel and the East Coast. Be- fore he left, he was warned of the difficulties of the voyage, and told, "She won't drown you, but she might starve you." Indeed, the weather was so bad that at one point the crew were without cook- ed food for three days. But the launch made the 700 mile journey, including a trip over a mine -field, successfully, and has been delivering "extras" to the Natty ever since.

This is an ex- citing discovery, because it makes it possible to shut the slightly tedious Aunt Carrie off by her- self when she comes for an in- determinate stay in a crowded home. This. gets her out of some- body's bedroom or off the couch in the parlor, and may even be better for Aunt Carrie herself, whether she appreciates it or not. To suggest it may be inviting a storm from child psychologists, but a little private room will now be available where Johnnie can be sent when he needs to consider in solitude for a few moments hie lapses in behavior. Or where mother can seclude herself in soli- tude if she prefers. Utility is stressed for the port- able wall, but another idea inevi- tably occurs to the mind. Winston Churchill is said to have a hobby of building brick or stone walls. Here is material for an indoor pastime with which to pass the hours when books and other amusements pall and man want to make something with his hands. It is as "simple as a child build. ieS E CU's' CLASSIFIED CaO, ANP q F RotMrqIORq,yr o& Operated by Pat Burton, twice winner of the North American and Canadian Calf Roping Championships at the Calgary Stampede, the Burton Ranch in Southern Alberta was estab- lished in 1890 by F.
