WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Micrograms .A. quarter of . a million eau - tints a week can be handled by e British War Office microgram dervi•ce. Microscopic negatives are made by the microgram units abroad ta14 films of varying length, which. are then sent home by air. As a .19esuit, official correspondence is speeded tip and transmission of such documents as adjustment of allowances to soldiers° depend- ents, formerly sent by rail and se'a; .frequently take .only as many days as they previously took months. One hundred feet of film may bear the 'negatives of as many es 1,600. documents In a container 'Which is no . bigger than .a two- pnnce, tobacco tin. On arrival at the War Office, the films are en - Urged at the rate of 1,000, demi'. *lents an, hour. _e_._ Glass Mastics A new material is employed in kraft construction. It is a plas- do reinforced with glass fibers. Samples have been produced with a tensile strength of over 80,000 pounds per square inch. While the impact' strength of ordinary plas- tics is about 2 foot-pounds, samp- les of the glass and plastic com- bination have shown impact re- sistance of over 20 foot-pounds. The new material can be molded into aircraft structural parts with low pressures and without the use. of expensive' molds, By drawing glass into fine fibers and combin- ing them with a plastic, imper- fections are distributed so that those in one fiber will not match those in another. One Way To Save Fuel—Retire - Early The British Government has been urged to conduct a campaign.: through broadcasts, posters 'and. newspapers to apprise the public that, "by going. .to , bed a half hour earlier each evening for the. next two months, they may save enough fuel in the form of elec- tricity.and gas to . remove all anxiety about the adequacy of supplies for munitions and the great offensive." Ontario Hospital Monument To Democratic Way of Life 24 Hours a Day For 68 Years Tile eerie shriek of the siren sank to a low moan es the ambulance braked to a quick atop beside the crowd collected around the crumpled heap by the roadside. Tender hands Jilted onto' the stretcher what had ken a happy Bare -free youngster but a few short minutes before. The doors closed and thecar glided swiftly away with its burden of pain, bound for the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren—that splendid institution which !or 28 years has waged unceasing war against accident, sickness, dis- ease and death. READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY The Hospital stands ready at all Mmes to meet any emergency. Acci- dent eases are not the only ones which must have prompt attention. Children with deformed backs and limbs, defective eyesight, rare dis. eases and physical disabilities must have prompt help too. Neglect may mean permanent disfigurement, de- formity or ' chronic disease, While fourteen daysis the average each public ward patient .is treated, a large number are inmates for weeks, some for months and a few receive treatment over a period of years. Many are problem cases, sent there because. of the world-wide reputa- tion -earned by the doctors who don title their time and talents without stint in the service of suffering little ones. CAUSE FOR ,.PRIDE Though the Hospital for Siek Chii- dren is situated in the City of To- ronto, it belongs essentially to all the people of Ontario because it wel- comes children from every part of the Province who are in need of medical aid or hospital care. No exceptions are ever made, There are no barriers of race or Breed. Children of parents from very walk of life find sanctuary. Those who can pay, do so gladly. Those who cannot are never turned away. The people of Ontario may wellfeel proud of this institution— ibis living monument to our demo - trade way of life, Some idea of the immense value end wide scope of the hospital's work may be formed from the fact that during the past year alone, over 0,045 sick and crippled children were while a the Out-patient departrnenvetreatment n its ublic t over 60,427 visits were recorded. SECOND TO NONE Becausethe operating costs of the Hospital are among the lowest in North America for institutions of a similar typic, and because of the high quality of -the services and medical assistance provided, the Hospital for Sick Children is recognized in . the hospital world as outstanding in efficiency. There are over eighty physicians and surgeons on the staff, all of them, leading specialists in child ailments. These men give their services free to the public ward patients. NOT SELF SUPPORTING The Hospital is not self supporting and the reason for this is not hard to find. Less than 5% of the patients are able to pay the full cost.of their care. The other 95% are the public ward cases who occupy 414 of the 432 beds in the Hospital at all times; The cost of providing hospital care for each public ward patient is about $1.50 per day more than the combin- ed income from the patient (or the patient's municipality) plus the government grant. As a result of this, each year the Hospital faces a deficit amounting to many thou- sands of dollars. This year this de. licit is greater than ever before, mainly due to conditions created by the war, SYMPATHETIC 'PUBLIC LENDS A HAND Were it not for the generosity of sympathetic and understanding peo- ple, business organizations, societies, clubs, etc., the scope and work of the Hospital could not be maintained on its present scale. Each year about this time a province -wide appeal is made for financial help to meet the annual deficit, This year over $125,000 must be raised. Because of the fact that patients are admitted from every part of the province, the Hospital does not share in Toronto's United Welfare Fund. Therefote, it makes ite own appeal. It does so, confident in the knowledge that a generous and understanding people will cotne to the aid of little children who de. pend on them for a chance for health --a chance to take their place in the years to come as members of a prosperoue and Industrious society.

The new recruit was quite hope- less. Everything he did was wrong, and, try as he would, his drill was just awful. The infuriated N.C.O. in charge of the squad had tried everything he knew. Now he could stand it no longer, "What were you before you joined the army?" he roared. "Very happy, corporal," came the truthful but sad reply. —0--- She: 0—She: "1 shall love to share all your -troubles." He: "But, dariing,'I have no troubles." 'She: "Silly, I mean when we are married." —0— A young lady stopped at the notion counter. "May I see some 'combs?" Elie asked. The clerk showed her some. 'Oh, no, I want a man's comb." "Do you want a narrow man's comb?" "No, I want a comb for a fat man with rubber teeth." • —0— "My wife has the worst memory 1 ever heard of." "Forgets everything?" "No; remembers ever y- thIngI" Master,of House: "Why did you tell your mistress what time I came home last night after I had told you to be quiet about it?" Maid: "I didn't, sir. She asked me what time it was, and I told her I was too busy getting break- fast reakfast to notice." —0— Baby chicks that soon will grow up and lay expensively- . bought eggs have a lot of nerve saying °Cheep, CheepF How Can 1 ?? By Anne Ashley P. How,can I remove rust from steel? A. By covering the spot with sweet oil, rubbing in thoroughly and allowing it to stand for a few days, then rubbing briskly with powdered unslacked lime until the spot disappears. Q. How can I make the floors warner? A. The floors will be much warmer and less draughty if newspaper is spread under the rug or carpet. The paper also acts as a preventive for moths. Q. How can -I remove cran- berry stains? 0. Cranberry stains can be re- moved from linen by washing with warm water and soap. Q. How can I avoid handling a hot glass when drinking hot lemonade? A. If the g s 'le. s for. the hot lemonade is placed. inside another gl.ss, the inside glass will become hot, but the outer glass will re- main cool to handle. Q. How can I make stockings last longer? A. If thinplace, a small hole, or a runner is noticed in the stocking, mend it before putting it in the laundry. By doing this, the break will not become larger during the washing process.

ONSWERS 1. Yes; his is far better than burn* the mouth, or perhaps sputtering out the liquid. But after testing it, the 'spoon should be left in the saucer and,the cof- fee sipped from the cup. 2.

Grassick of Kingsville is to be congratu- lated on his splendid idea of con- ducting a school for drivers, par- tieularly those in their teens, says The Windsor Star. This is a worth while contribution to public safety, and it undoubtedly will . save many lives. Every young plan or woman wants to drive a car, and their eagerness too often sends them out on the road poorly prepared for the responsibility they assume Knowledge of how, to press a starter and shift gears is not suf- ficient. There must be good judg- ment and "road sense" before a driver can •be called safe, and ,parents or older brothers are not always the best ones to inculcate ' these qualities. The chief, eon - ducting his classes with consid, , erations of safety always upper- most in his mind, and subjecting his young pupils to exhaustive ex- aminations before granting them certificates of proficiency, is do- ing inuch to remove one of our wcrst hazards to life and limb.

Baru at York Cottage, on December 14, 1895, His Maj- esty was the second son of King. George V and Queen Mary, re- lates the. Windsor Star. When the present King was born, It was not anticipated that ;he would ever rule the British Empire. His older brother, Ed- ward,' Prince of Wales, was des- tined for the throne. As Duke of York, the present King and Dm- peror moved along as the young- er son, never pushing forward, el ways content to assume his less important role. After King George V did in 1936, Edward VIII became King • on January 20, 1936. When the Simpson debacle brought .the ab- dication of Edward VIII, the pre- sent King ascended the throne as George VI on December 11, 1936. Hehas made an admirable King, who has bound together the people In their resistance to the Hun and in their determine. - tions to fight On to victory, In the last war, as , ,Dake of York, the present 'Klag George VI was the only .member 4)f the Royal Faintly to see actual battle action. Some of his brothere Were around the fringes of the war, but the future King was with the Royal Navy at Jutland. He fought a good fight in that liistorie caval action.
