Dr. William Feinbloom, of New York, said that seven chil- dred in institutions for the blind had already been returned to pub - lie schools through use of the lens. ACID CHECKS MOLD The problem of bread mold, en- )ianced in the last two decades by development of the sliced, wrap-. ped loaf and the demand for a xaoist Ioaf, has been solved Through discovery that propionic acid in salt form delays mold for- mation from two days to two weeks. The acid does not advers- ely affect the flavor or texture of the bread. JELLY, SECRET OF STRENGTH Vibration of a protoplasmic jelly inside the "sinews" of mus- '-cles is the •secret of Strength. ' This discovery was described to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Dr. Eben J. Carey, a recognized au- thority on muscles, nerves and bones. The protoplasmic jelly fills the thread -shaped cells that link to- gether to form the "sinews" or 'bundles of muscles. This jelly vi- brates to cause the well-known contraction and expansion of mus- cles in action. Dr. Carey has map- ped on 25,000 slices of muscles, about 1/1,000th of an inch thick. 6 e t C t e t e t t s t b e t e ce t4 d t a t How Can 1 EY ANNE ASHLEY Q.—How can I make an indel- ible stencil ink? .A..—Mix two parts sulphate of manganese, one part lampblack, four parts sugar (all in powder form). Then make a paste by ad- ding a little water. Q.—How can I keep the flavor and vitamins in vegetables? A.—Don't cook them in too much water. Cauliflower, cab- bage, spinach, and string beans need no more than a fourth to a half cup of water to start steam- ing and releasing their juices. Q.—What are some of the starch substitutes? A.—Borax water in place of etareh for stiffening voiles, dimity, Med sheer, fine collars and jabots. Use three tablespoonfuls of sugar %n a gallon of water for organdie, weak gum arabic solution for silk and crepe, and bran water or rice water for cretonne and figured cottons or linens. Q.—How can I prolong the wear of shoes? A.—Apply several coats of co- pal varnish to the soles and vamps. Shoes treated in this way will sel- dom have to be half -soled. This ha particularly good for children's t;flloes that receive such hard wear. Q.—How can I clean a white- painted article effectively? A.—Try using water in which two or three onions have been boiled, and see how readily the dirt is removed. Q,—How can I fatten thin hands? .A, Wash the hands in hot water, dry, and rub a little olive oil into them. Make the applica- lion before retiring so that the oil can remain on as hong as possible. Huge New Liner S.::..ils Next April R. M. S. Queen Elizabeth, Larg- est Ship Ever Constructed, Will Set Out On Her Maiden Voyage Largest ship ever constructed, the R.M.S. Queen Elizabeth, will sail from Southampton April 24, of 1940; on her maiden voyage to New York, it is announced from the Lon- ' don offices of Cunard White Star Line. Tonnage 85,000 The 1,031 -foot liner, of an estim- mated 85,000 gross tonnage, will be put into regular service between New York, Cherbourg and South- ampton along with the liner Queen Mary. At present, the Queen Mary holds all records for speedy transatlantic crossings but expected to be even greater is the speed of the Queen Elizabeth, named after and christ- ened by Queen Elizabeth at Clyde- bank, Scotland, last September. The line plans to use only the two liners on. the weekly run in- stead nstead of the present three ships necessary to maintain the schedule. Have You Heard The teacher wrote on the black- board: "The horse and the cow is in the stable." "Now," she said to a little boy, "what is wrong with that sen- tence ?" Little Boy "I think you should say, 'The cow and the horse is in the stable'." Teacher—"Why?" Little Boy—"Ladies first." —o "That fellow," said a col- lege professor of a certain student, "puts up a good bluff but there ie nothing to him. Open the front door and you are in his back -yard." —0— The amateur gardener was showing the beauties of his green- house. "This," he said, pointing to a flower, "belongs to the petunia family." "Does it?" said the sweet young thing. "I suppose you're minding it while they're away." —0— "Waiter, 0—"Vtraiter, never bring inc a steak like this again." "Why not, sir?" "Well, it simply isn't done." —0— A patient, escaped from an in- sane asylum, was at last discov- ered in earnest conversation with a coloured guard at a military en- campment. By means of signs be- hind the maniac's back, the attend- ants were at Iast able to capture him. Then one of them happened to glance toward the guard and de- manded in astonishment: "Why, man, what's the matter with you? You're trembling and the sweat is pouring off your face." "Yassir," gulped the negro. "Boss, after dat feller been talk - in' to me five minutes 1 knowed one of us was crazy, and now I've found out it's him.

Five of America's foremost dance bands, "swing" and "sweet", have been announced for the Canadian National Exhibition by General Manager Elwood A. Hughes. If the dance fans want to "go jittery" or if they prefer the more stately and measured tread they May make their selection between Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Glen Gray, Tom- my Dorsey and Guy Lombardo's stage - screen radio ensembles, Horace Heidt had been engaged, too, but Mr. Hughes released him from his contract when he later arranged a long-term lucrative en- gagement in Hollywood. The Ex- hibition promises some innovations in the dance r'vilion this year, iMusic Increases Milk Production Domei, Japanese news agency, seasoned-' its report of events in China last `week witan account of how a Japanese dairywoman in- creased her herd's milk -output. "Mrs. Shiina", the Dome: despatch said, "has succeeded in increasing•. by from 10 to 20 percent. the milk given by her cows by playing to them music while milking.

If you find the person, on whom yon are calling, is busy, let him finish what he's doing. When you.converse, make your remarks brief and to the point, Do not rush through the interview as if you had to make a train, but state your case quickly and plain- ly. Other don'ts for the office call- er: . Don't hesitate to shake hands. That's an old office custom. Don't try to bluff your way past the reception desk. If you have a legitimate reason to gel into an ofl-lce_ you'll be admitted. Once you've tried to bluff, however, you have closed the doer against fu- ture calls. For receptionists, like elephants, never forget. Hint to the man who has a wo- man caller: Rise when she enters the room,just as you would at. home, Eye Defects Blamed On Scenic Changes An expert in visual disleases told his colleagues last -week that ,"modern man is iiving at the end of his nose—and his eyes object." Dr. Charles Sheard, director and professor of biophysical research at the Rochester, Minn., Mayo Foundation, told the American Academy of Optometry many eye faults were due to the movement of persons from farms into cities. "The duties of . man's eyes thus have been increased from merely seeing a large piece of farm equip- ment or an animal at the end of the pasture, to seeing minute ob- jects within arm's length."
