Have You Heard?
The choris girl was telling the
other girls in the dressing -room
all about her birthday party.
"You should have seen the
cake," she told her companions,
"It was marvelous. There were
seventeen candles on it—one for
each year."
There was a disbelieving silence
for a moment or two, then her
beat friend smiled.
"Seventeen candles, eh?" she
purred. "What did.you do ---burn
them at both ends??"' •

WIIAT SCIENCE

Madera Eti
By Roberti Lee! t ^'
1. Is it obligatory that tefreesibe
ments of same kind be 41111ished
after a wedding rehearsal''
2, Isn't :it bad maimers jo let
one's mind wander :while Ooill.e"
one is talking with you.
3, If a person asks vole;;,; oto Y
old you are, or what your what
is, or some such question,
should you reply?
4. For what use only is the nap-
kin at the dinner table? • •'
5. When a customer in ashop
is buying something that is not
being worn the current season,
shouldn't the saleswoman tell
her?
6. When asking a person to
repeat a remark is it all right to
say "What?" or "I beg your par-
don, what did you shay
ANSWERS
1. It is a nice thing to do. The
refreshments are usually served
after the rehearsal at the home
of the bride, or the groom invites
the little party of attendants to
some eating place. 2. Yes. One
should strive to be a good listen-
er, though it is often difficult
when the speaker is an egoist,
or describing in detail his last
operation. 3. "There are some
questions that I prefer not ' to
answer." It is only a very rude,
tactless person who would ask
such questions. 4. Only for wip-
ing the lips. It is • not for the
cheeks, perspiration or the nose.
The napkin should be lifted as
inconspicuously as possible to the
mouth and lightly brushed across
the mouth, and then ' replaced
upon the lap, 5. It is better not,
unless the customer asks the
direct question. 6. No; "I'ni sorry,
but I . didn't understand" ismuch
more courteous.
PLASTIC GOGGLES
A new type of industrial goggle -
mask n'iask has been patented by
supervising optician at one of the
British Royal Ordnance Filling
Factories. The mask is made of
cellulose acetate sheet about 1-6
in. thick, which has been found
to. resist lead slugs fired at point-
blank, range from an air rifle.
The slugs were flattened and the
acetate was only dented. A
gog•le-mask gave highly satisfac-
tory results when tested against
an explosion produced by • 50
times the amount ,of explosive
thick. bad been known _to _cavus •.
some of 'tele fie' casualties.
The new goggles are of a very
protective design, but free from
curtailment of vision and distor-
tion, and as they weigh as little
as 2 ozs. they can be worn with-
out fatigue.
INFLUENZA
Against the ever-present medi-
cal spectre of another world-wide
influenza epidemic, as catastro-
phic as that in 1918 which killed
some 20 million peolpe, the Brit-
ish Lancet and The Journal of
the American Medical Association
have just sounded a comforting
note, Newsweek points out.
They declared that even if in-
fluenza should again run riot on
a global scale, mortality will
likely be far lower than in the
last war. For in the 1918 out-
break most of the deaths were
due, not directly to influenza or-
ganisms,' -but to •_sopondary bac-
terial infections•'^of 4lie'respiratory
tract (pneumonia, for example)
for which influenza: iiad paved the

So automatic have become the
reflexes of the young Nazi that
the first thing he does when shot
down over England is throw off
his parachute, .spring to his feet,
click his heels and bark "Heil
I•iitler!" at his captors, John Mac-
Cormack writes in The New York
Times Magazine. As a result, Brit-
ish intelligence officers have a
standing rule that prisoners must
be deprived of their boots before
being interviewed. Even the
young Nazis feels foolish when he
clicks his heels and no sound is
audible.

U. S. To Produce
Large Hemp Crop
150,000 Tons of Hemp Fibre
Needed In 1943
DIRECTS PUBLICITY
The appointment of J. William
Horsey, a leading figure in Can-
ada's food industry, as chairman
• of the Ontario'public relations
• section of the National 'War Fi-
nance Committee, was announced
recently in Toronto.
Mr., Horsey, who is president of
Dominion Stores, Limited, is also
national chairman of the Cana-
dian food industry's "March to
Berlin" stamp drive and has for
several weeks been active in the
- organization of the war savings
stamp campaign being aggressive-
ly carried on by the food indus-
try, during the month of Febru-
ary.
The sale of stamps through over
forty thousand outlets from coast
to coast in Canada is expected to
exceed one million dollars during'
the period of the campaign.
The great need of cordage fibre
for our growing number of ships
is reviving an old crop familiar
before the Revolution and flour-
ishing in the days of the ciigper
ships, which carried it in trade

lates. Hemp took too 'ouch long,
hard m,auual labor, sp Kentucky,
where it especially flourished,
gave it up to the peasant produc-
ers of Europe

of hemp. This year it is akkiug for
360,000 acres (of which 50,000
will be far•.seet), to produce :a de-

Might Kill Menace
With Faster Ships
Vice -Admiral Craig Walser
in London Daily Telegraph
No one, so far as I am aware,
has attempted to controvert my .
claims
(a) That we can •practically kill
the L' -boat menace by building
cargo ships and tankers of 16
knots or more instead of concen-
trating on the shapeless "ugly
duckling" 10-knotter. The fast
ship would be easily manoeuvred
in a tight situation and would
hold her speed in rough weather.
She would deliver her cargo in
half the time of the slow ship,
and fewer ships, therefore, would
be required to do the job,
(b) That aircraft are useless
either as protectors of cargo ships
or destroyers of submarines at
night or in thick weather, and,
moreover, lack the potent wea-
pons of the ram and the heavy
Q.F. gun with which to kill the
LT -boat.
Experts have convinced me that
the design and construction of
fast cargo vessels and tankers by
mass production methods is a
practical proposition, and that
with Diesel engines the fuel• con -
