"I'm quite fed up with this place," said one convict to an- other. "Just because t hit the warder with a shovel the gov- ernor won't let me attend choir practice." "You look very downcast." "Yes, my wife has been away for six weeks and I wrote her ev- ery week and said I spent the even- ings at home." "Well?" "She is back now and the light bill has come in -it's for 50e!"

"Are these the largest oranges you have?" asked Mrs. Bron*u of the fruit store proprietor. "Oh, no, ma'am," was the reply, "those are only the 'large' size. We also have the larger, mammoth, giant, jumbo, colossal, and super - colossal sizes!" it was a reunion of old friends and, as a bit of fun, the guests were each asked to bring something to the feast.

Watson, of Detroit, whose radio typewriter is used on modern battleships throughout the world, claims he has invented a steam power unit that would drive airplanes across the country on a quart of water. The device he terms a "cold coil" generator "results in instan- taneous transformation of water into steam," By condensing the steam and using .it over and over, he hopes to operate ewe,, airplane engines without a boiler. FOR STORING BLOOD A dehydrating machine which will permit the safe storage of huge quantities of powdered blood for transfusions is being experi- mented with. Chief problem of "canned" or storage blood for emergency in- jection into patients' veins has been its preservation. Costly re- frigeration and elaborate tech- nique is involved.

Remember to get JI your copy of this week's Toronto -.1), Saar Weekly. it TIRED FEET Issue No. 4 --- �« Canada .Called Logitud Target Would Be First Place of .At. tack In War on Empire, R. C. A. Officer Declares. Canada is the "logical" place of first attack by a nation making war on the British Empire, Major P. A, Todd of Ottawa, OMeer Commanding the 51st ''field Bat- tery of the Royal Canadian ArtiI- lery, declared in an address at Ottawa last week. If any, European country tried to force its will on England, the firs'; thing it would do would be to cut off her supplies and Can- ada, as a main source of supply, would be a logical point of attack, declared Major Todd, who said he was speaking as a private individ- ual and not as a military repre- sentative. Nowadays war was no: declared and there was nothing to prevent an enemy nation from sending a number of ships oi, a "goodwill" visit to Canadian water, so that they would be "within our own borders" when that nation decid- ed to strike. An airplane carrier has fifty planes and "these planes could at- tack the centres of Canadian in- dustry in three hours and would not give us time to get assistance from the United States or Eng- land," he said. The most that could be expected of anti-aircraft defense was that bombers could be brought down after they had done their work. Exp oyer Finds New Territory Lincoln Ellsworth Comes Upon 80,000 Square Miles of Land In Antarctic Never Before Seen By Human Eye. Lincoln Ellsworth, leader of a fourth Antarctic expedition, said in a dispatch from the motor ship Wyart Earp to the North Ameri- can Newspaper Alliance that "80,- 000 squares of country never seen before by human eye has been added today to the known area of the world's surface." Ellsworth said he had claimed the area for the United States. He told how he flew south from the fringe of the Antarctic to a point "from where I could see to Lat, 74:80 S. from my position OD Long. 79 E. and I could, see at a>ast -150 miles on each side of the plane-" He said that "although snow- ':eovered today, the area I saw in my flight of discovery plight in some years hence become snow - free and disclose rich mineral de- posits for, on the coast, exposed surfaces show much evidence of mineralization." Two Canadians are aviators for the Ellsworth expedition. They the L. H. Lymburner and T. R. Trevice.
