With Allied Navies
Viec'- t.dmiral William Glass.
fowl, Jr., Lead of a United States
mission to Dakar, said the 35,000 -
ton French battleship Richelieu
at Dakar would be refitted and
"within a few months will be a
top notch ship fighting with the
Allied navies."
He sold a number of American
divers and technical experts had
arrived at Dakar to supervise re-
habilltation of the Richelieu,
damaged h British attacks earlier
in the war, pal other warships
at the West African port,
This work, he said, is paving
the wey for "establishment of
Allied naval operations at Da -
ker."
Have You Heard
The weary -looking n.ae stopped
before a shop window ;vhich had
been hired by the Humane Soei-
ety. In the centre of the window
was the picture of a large, furry
animal with a •woebesgone expres-
sion on its face: Underneath `vas a
placard: "I was skinned to pro-
tide a woman with fashionable
furs,"
For a moment the tired ex-
pression faded from the man's
face.
"leer old chap," he :i, a_tereti,
"So was I."
Uncle: "Conte, Johnny,
let's go back to the house."
Johnny (on first visit to
the country): "Wait just a
minute, uncle -3 want to see
the end of this stream go
by."
In a liner striking heavy weath-
er in mid -ocean, son:e of the pas-
sengers were very uncomfortable.
Watching a miserable -looking
man who was bending over the
side of the ship, a fair young
thing turned to the woman at
her side. "Your husband is a poor
sailor, is he not?" she said. "Cer-
tainly not," said the woman, "he
is a rich stockbroker!'

Horace . Greeley (the greatt
American editor) always insisted
that the word "news" was plural.
and demanded that it be used as
such: Once when he had sent a
reporter out of town on a story,
he wired: "Are there any news?"
The reporter, following in-
structions, wired back: "Not a
new."
Mistress: Why don't you
keep the baby quiet, Kate?"
Kate: "1 can't keep hint
quiet, Ma'am, unless I let hint
make a noise."

taining while her znother was get-

Nazi Diet Coarse
But Still Adequate
Food Position Far Front
Critical As Substitutes Used
Germany's diet is much poorer
than that of wartime America, but
Its food position is far from crit-
ical, the United States Q111ce of
War information reports an the
basis of data reaching the Board
of Economic Warfare and other
Government agencies.
Despite the Nazis' thorough.
nicking of the produce of the oc-
copied countries, the German diet
is coarse, monotonous and lacking
in such edible foods as meat, ani-
mai fats and white bread.
Food production in Axis -held:.
Europe in the 1942-43 crop year:
will fall short of ordinary civilian
requirements, it was said, but it ik.
not expected seriously to impair
the German war effrt.
Although the Germans are sub-
stituting less valuable vegetable.
protein for scarce animal protein,
the substitufon is not expected to
diminish by a considerable amount
the physical powers of the people
this year,
Less Grain and Fruit
LTnited States Government data
indicates that the German diet
will be only slightly worse this
year than last, with shortages of
fats and livestock remaining the
sore spots in the Axis food eco-
nomy.
Both the European grain and
fruit crops were cut last year as
a conseq::ence of bad weather, and
the fish catch — affected by the
blockade. the ship shortage and
danger of mines—is still below
normal, it was said, but practically
every country in Europe reported
an increased potato crop.
Axis sugar stocks are consid-
ered only slightly less than those
of the pre-war years, while Ger-
man vegetable production and im-
ports rose sufficiently in 1942 to
enable Germany to increase her
per capita vegetable consumption
by more than 50 per cent.

• PLASTIC RAZOR
A '.`simplastie" razor, as it is
called, has been designed of meet
army requirements. The blades,
of course, are still of the finest
steel. The average metal razor
weighs two ounces; the new plas-
tie razor only three-quarters of an
ounce. It requires 125 pounds o!
Brass, steel and' zinc to make a
thousand metal razors, but only
five pounds to Make a thousanl
plastic razors. These five pounds
go into a small screw at the top
of the handle. Since about 12,-
000,000 meted razors are pro-
duced annually in normal times,
it follows that. a million and a
half pounds of fine ,eta] could
be saved oy making razors of
plasties instead of metals. Sim -
plastic is aa acetate cellulose,
NEARSIGHTEDNESS
Children like to read the fun-
nies with their heads down. Dr.
Frederick A. Woll (Columbia)
disapproves of the habit because
it is one of the chief causes of
nearsighterine :. When heads hang
down eyeballs are stretched, so
that the distance oetween the re-
tina and the lens is increased.
One Austrian physician went so
far its to harness a class of chil-
dren so that they could not get
too dose to their work. Result:
A reduction in the percentage of
nearsigbtednss, Dr. Woll prefers
to enlarge the print so that when
a funny is brought close to the
eye the field of vision is narrow-
ed. Children then hold the book
away in order to take in a whole
wor:i or phrase at a glance.
Future of Arctic
Full of Promise
The future of Arctic Canada,
both commercially and spiritually,
is full of hope and promise, said
the Right IRev, A. L. Fleming,
Bishop of the Arctic, in a recent
address.
He predicted that the Arctic
way would be the quickest and
safest route to Great Britain,
Europe, Russia and Asia, and
the most popular after the war.
Bishop Fleming was enthusiastic
about the development of air
fields by the United States Army,
declaring that from it would come
a great opening up of the Arctic,
The Arctic is short of many
things, food supplies, particularly
canned goods, • radio. ,,... supplies,

the Eskimo exhibits considerable
ingenuity in substitutes,
Bishop Fleming himself has
wroked among the Eskimos for -
34 years; and found them ligihly
intelligent persons.
Stiff Tests Taken
By Navy Divers
A diver in the navy fust not
have a cold in his head, a hang-
over or take a drink before he
dives, Petty Officer C. E. Mc-
Burney, 23 -year-old ex -machinist
from Ottawa, now an ordnance
artificer in lite Royal Canadian
Navy, said recently.
He told of tests taken below
the surface including sawing a
six by six tifber in two or sling-
ing a scaffold underneath a small
boat.
"But the pay-off,' said McBur-
ney, "is the breathing test to see
how long you can stay conscious
depending only on the air in the
diver's suit. I stood it for six
minutes; one guy slid nine," he
said.

Sweden Prepared
To Defend Country
Prime Minister Per Albin %Iam
son warned the Swedish Parlia-
ment of the possibility of an at-
tack on Sweden and said "beyond
any doubt we will defend our-
selves." He cautioned against the
possibility of false orders being
issued, as happened in Norway,
and said if an attack came every-
one would have to join in de-
fending the country, the only re.
maining neutral nation in North-
ern Europe.
The newspaper Dagens Nyheter
said the country "must be ready
to meet blitz attacks, especially
by enemy air forces" and added
that "Swedes have enough cour-
age to face reality, even the real.
ity of war."
