What Science is Daring CHEAPER PLASTIC A plastic compound made from the lignin and cellulose of sugar Bane bagasse, one of the country's rtant agricultural waste pro- ds, has been manufactured by chemists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture at the 4.gricultural By -Products Labora- tory, Ames, Iowa. The chemists estimate that this new compound fan be manufactured for less than Ilaif the cost of the cheapest syn- ijhetic plastic compounds now on the market. —0— VITAMINS AND OLD AGE Evidence that senility and other symptoms of old age are accom- panied by typical signs of vitamin deficiency was presented recently by Professor L. A. Cherkes, direc- tor of the Odessa Institute of Nu- trition, U.S.S.R. Experiments on animals and numerous observa- tions on patients showed, he re- ported, that the processes taking place on teeth and bones in old /gee do not differ in anything from talose resulting from a deficiency of° vitamins in the eeganism. The observations have led Professor Cherkes to conclude that the di- gestive tract not only absorbs vi- tamins from food but also trans- forms a number of inactive food components into active vitamins. Its the body grows older this ea - parity of the digestive tract grows weaker. Many symptoms of senil- ity, hitherto regarded as manifes- tations of an inevitable physiolo- gical pocess, he believes, are but a result of the body not keeping up with its requirements in vitamins, which must be supplied in greater amounts with the advance of the years. —0— NEW METALLIC COMPOUND Discovery of a new metallic compound capable of cutting and smoothing the toughest metals and harder than the hardest steel used to manufacture tools was reported to the American Chemical Society by Philip M. McKenna of the Mc- Kenna Metals Company, Latrobe, Pa. The mateeial is obtained by heating tungsten, titanium and carbon in crucibles of pure -gra- phite. the mixture being heated in a bath of molten nickel to a tem- perature of 2,000 degrees for a prolonged period. The new com- pound is only 0.2 softer than a diamond, the hardest substance known; and is expected, because of its ability to retain a sharp cut- ting edge at high temperatures, to increase the speed with which stainless steels can be machined, thus resulting in considerable eco- nomics in manufacture. To the farmer and prospective settler, the Animal Husbandry Di- vision of the Experimental Farms Service, 'Dominion Department or Agriculture, offers the results of many years experience, accruing from the maintenance of approxi- mately 8,000 head of livestock on the Dominion Experimental Farms and Stations in different parts of every province of Canada.

Good the Wort d Over 4-4 Have You Heard The Wrong Note A new governor was paying his Rest visit to a Gold Coast town. Two banners greeted him. The first read: "Welcome to our new Governor." The second was: "God help our Administration." On another occasion, when the King and Queen, then Duke a$d Duchess of York, visited Maursiti- ue, they expressed regret that they couldn't.stay more than three days in the island. A local paper printed "stay" as "stand". —o -- Cool According to a writer a girl who is clever with her needle can make a charming summer frock for next to nothing. And in a heat wave that's probably how she'll wear it. —o— Dear Daddy dear! Little Mary: "Let's be pals, Dad- dy, dear." Daddy: "Certainly, my de/a."

The inventor hails from Oklahoma. If a member of the congregation drops in a twen- ty -five -cent piece or a coin of a larger value, there is silencee. If it is a ten -cent piece a bell rings, a five -cent piece sounds a whistle, and a cent fires back a blank cart- ridge. If any one pretends to be asleep when the box passes, it awakens him with a watchman's rattle, and a camera takes his por- trait.

And then I'm go- ing to get a scholarship to the Grammar School. Then I shall get a scholarship to Oxford; and after I have finished at Oxford, I am going to drive a motor bus." "Most Beautiful City In The World" "Everywhere there is something odd or different to be seen. Take Rio de Janeiro, for instance. There is no place in the world that re- aembies it. I would call it the most beautiful city in the world. Here everything is spectacular; High mountains shoot up from centres of population. Splendid reaches abound on all sides. It is a glorious place. Nowhere is there such a combination of sea, shore and mountain. "Weather permitting, our pas- sengers will get a thrill out of Tristan da Cunha, e rock in the sea and a thousand miles from anywhere. Het' potatoes and fish are the main items of food. but the eight to ten score of people who live there are happy.

G, --When• serving tea to guests where tables aro not provided, shouldn't one avoid serving any- thing that requires the use of a fork? Answers, I.—Yes, always. An old Latin proverb says, "He who envies an- other admits his own inferiority." And, of course, it is difficult for an inferior person to become popu- lar. 2.—Not unless she is en- gaged to be married to this man, and then the only gifts necessary are at Christmas and on his birth- day. 3.—The guest . of honor, or the most prominent person pres- ent, who is seated at the toast - .master's right, is usually asked to speak last. 4.—Never more than one attendant and more often none. 5.—Wait until all four of the players ahead of you are too far away for your drive to inter- fere. 6.—Ye; it is better to avoid the fork. .-.-e.-4-dao-4-..

One such accident which is fairly frequent among women is the painful hammering of a thumb when trying to hammer in a nail! Here is a scheme to prevent such a crushing possibility! Next time you are ready to do odd jobs about the house which involve hammer- ing in of nails try sticking the nail through apiece of stout card- board and holding it with this— "mis-hits" are then harmless, and your thumb remains whole! The Right Idea An Austrian baron of royal blood, just arrived in Canada and planning to be a farmer, announ- ces that though he fought on the German side in the last war, "I will fight for the English people this war, if it comes. It will fight for Great Britain because I know I will be fighting on the side which stands for the rights of people; I shall be on the right side." Canada can do with a lot of. newcomers who feel like this.
