How Can 1
By Anne Ashley
Q. How can I prevent the an-
noyance of moisture forming on
eyeglasses when going from a
cold into a warm atmosphere?
A, By moistening the tips of
the fingers and rubbing then over
a cake of soap. Then rub them
over the lens, and polish as usual.
Only one application every day or
two is necessary.
Q. How can I make use of half -
emptied jars of different kinds
of jelly when there is net enough
of any particular one to serve?
A. Try t. combining, two that
seem to go togethier and serving
as one dish. The result is often
very pleasing.
Q. How can I prevent cracks
in the enamel of a stove?
A. Never try to wipe off the
enameled range with a wet cloth
while' it is still hot. The fine
el surface may become
ow "ca
candle -holders to be used at a
children's party?
A. By polishing and hollowing
out some rosy-cheeked apples to
receive the ends of the candles.
These are especially effective
where a color scheme of red and
white is.. being followed.
Q. How cane' I chop candied
fruits quickly `?
A. It will be much easier to
chop candied fruits if the fruit
peels are heated in the oven be-
fore chopping.
Hun. Using New
Type of ombs
German Stuka planes were re-
ported recently to have used new-
type bombs — described by one
British officer as "silver balls that
crackle and seem to explode in
the air"—in an attack on a British
column in the El Ageila area in
Libya,
The Ministry of Information
quoted a British tank officer as
saying that every can of gasoline
on a truck was riddled with shrap-
nel after one of these bombs ex-
ploded, but the cans did not catch
fire.
Latest Autos
Out of Date
New Motor Cars To Be
Lighter, Stronger, Safer
Due to the discoveries of new
materials, authorities claim that
even the existing late model auto-
mobiles are completely out of date.
It is expected that when new auto-
mobiles are placed in the hands of
the waiting public they will be
lighter, stronger, safer, more com-
fortable, and more economical.
They .are expeoted to have seal-
ed cooling systems, new shatter-
proof. fog -proof, and frost -proof
Lucite or Plexiglas windshields.
Power output will be increased
with smaller motors sparked with
high-octane fuels having a 150 rat-
ing that may yield as much as 50
miles to the gallon. The body will
be built of light metal alloys and

All -Plastic Auto Body E
The Ford Motor Company'-, al-
ready has built an all -plastic auto
body. The company reports the
new body is no "ersatz" substitu-
tion.. It climaxes a dozen years
of research. based on Henry Ford's
long-standing belief that some day
he would "grow automobiles freak
the soil."
The aircraft industry rapidly is
adopting plastics. Henry Kaiser is
reported to be using them in his
huge trial transport planes. Suc-
cessful test flights have been held
for a new type of six -place plane
designed for training bomber
cews, the IT. S. War Department
has disclosed. The craft's body,
wings, and tall are made entirely
of plastic known as Duramold. The
only metal or other strategic ma-
terial used is in the tubular steel
members on which the bombracks,
bombing sights, machine guns,
controls, and instrumentation are
mounted.

Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1. If you have some extra fine

the dessert?
e 2. What would• be .a good toast

3. When, for any reason, the
hostess of a dance cannot or does
not dance, should the men guests
ask her to dance anyway?
4. When a man goes ;to buy a
wedding ring for his bride, may

WHAT SCIENCE
IS MING
HEART
• The heart is not the eighth but
the first wonder of the universe,
'Dr. Peter J. Steincrohn writes in
The American Mercury. It beats
more than 3,000,000,000 times be-
tween birth and total surrender.
Itis living proof of the superiority
of blood, muscle and nerve over
metal, Clocks and watches —
which tick a mere 2,000,000,000
tirees in seventy years—are con-
signed to the junk pile long be-
fore the normal heart begins to
tire.
But just as overwork soon
wears out the insides of all man -
m a d e machines, unnecessary
strains take their toll of your
heart. The sturdy organ has re-
markable stamina. Consider that
it Ieads no simple, machine -like
existence; affected temporarily oe
permanently by emotions, , life -
pace and illness in any part of the
body. It may be said with justice
that the- heart laughs with the
gay, cries with the sad, grieves
with the worried and suffers with
the sick. Without rewinding—or
the advantages of periodic over/
haul—it must meet the demands
of the human organism.
It's a tough bit of machinery,
the heart, to carry such a burden
through six, seven or more de-
cades. Given half a chance, it
will produce those 3,000,000,000
or more beats necessary for mel-
low old age. Even after it has
in some way been tired or damag-
ed, it will persist with amazing
tenacity if not called on for tasks
beyond its strength.
More than . 2,000,000 tons el'
copper are produced in the United
States annually.

Old Orchards May
Pass Into Discard
Pruning and Spraying Ne-
glected Says Guelph
Mercury
A recent survey of the orchards
of Ontario shows that the trees so
carefully planted and tended by
our forefathers will soon be things
of the past, owing to neglect on
the part of the sons of the fathers
who propagated them. On the
farms in many sections of Ontario
no new plantings have been made,
the old trees were given no care.
Pruning and spraying wore ne-
glected. The quality of the apples
deteriorated and the r'owe of once
stately trees, with branches laden
to the breaking point with lus-
cious fruit of such old favorites as
the Northern Spy, the Snow, the
Greening, Tolman Sweet and Rus-
set will soon, in many neighbor-
hoods, be but a memory,
in pioneer days, and in the years
that followed early settlement in
Ontario, every farmer depended
uponehis own orchard for his win-
ter supply of apples, the surplts,
if there happened to be any, going
to the store in trade, or to the
community market for cash.
Today apple production has be-
come highly specialized, carried
on, not as a sideline, but as a
main business in the fruit sections
of British Columbia, and in certain
favored parts of Ontario and She
Maritimes.
Nowadays sentiment does not
enter into the fruit -growing bus-
iness to any noticeable extent, and
it is to be expected that 12 the
agriculturist engaged in diversi-
fied £arming cannot make orchard -
Mg a commercial success, the old
farm orchard will have to pass
into the discard.
Japan Feels Strain
Of Building Ships
Shipping is one of the most vul-
nerable points in the Japanese
armor. The Japanese have con-
quered vast raw material resources
but no industrial regions. They
must ship the conquered materials
to their industrial centres in the
home islands and ship the finished
-oducts back to their fighting
forces, and both operations must
be carried out over vast distances
which expose the transports to sub-
maine attacks. How effective these
submarine attacks are was revealed
by Navy Secretary Knox; between
1,000,000 and 1.500,000 tons out of
a total of_6.000,000 tons available
to Japan on the outbreak. of the
war have been sent to the bottom.
Japan is straining all her resources
to build ships, but her shipbuilding
facilities are limited, and it may be
doubted whether the losses are be-
ing replaced. "Ja.pan," said an army
'statement, "has no surplus of ves-
sels, for Japan must maintain trans-
portation within the Greater East
Asia sphere, while she must con- ,
time her gigantic operations, con:
tinuously fighting out decisive
battle after another."
The land route from Dakar to
the Mediterranean is nearly 3,000
miles in length.
Have You Heard?
A steward stood at the gang-
way of the liner and kept shout-
ing for the benefit of the passen-
gees;
"First class to the right, second
class to the left."
A young woman stepped dain-
tily aboard with a baby in hes'
arms. As she hesitated before the
steward, he bent over her and
said in his chivalrous way:
"First or second?"
"Oh I" said, the girl, her face
as red as a beetroot. "Oh dear,
it's—it's not mine!"
Sandy McTavish and his
wife paused thoughtfully in
front of the restaurant bear-
ing a sign: "Dinner Here
From 12 to 3-50c.'
"Coom, Annie," ,Sandy said
approvingly, "Three hours
eatin' for fifty cents is verra
reasonable."
"Son, why don't you play cir-
cus? It's great fun, First you
make a sawdust ring—"
"But where would I get the
sawdust, dad?"
"Here's the saw. Just cut some
of the firewood into fireplace
lengths. And you can have all the
sawdust you Hake,"
Fat Regimental Cook (to
excessively thin Tommy):
"Looking at you, you blink-
ing skeleton, anyone would
think there had been a fa-
mine!"
Tommy: "Yes, and one
look at you would tell 'em
who caused it!"
Traffic Officer—"Why did you
drive by me after I blew any
whistle?"
Motorist—"I'm deaf, officer."
Officer—"That may be true,
but the judge will give you your
hearing in the morning."
Officer: "Now tell me,
what is your idea of strate-
gy'"
Recruit: "alt's when you're
out of ammunition, but keep
right on firing."
The old"fashioned' farmer was
hard to convince. "No," declared
e. "I'll have no such contrap-
tion in my house. Planners are
bad things."
"Oh, but father," protested his
daughter, "this is an upright
piano." •
