Further investigation of cancer from the angle that it may be a ,"deficiency disease" is reported on in the current number of the Ca- nadian Medeial Association Jour- . nal. The investigation is being carried on by Dr. J. R. Davidson of Winnipeg. CYCLIC f -ACTOR IN DIPHTHERIA There is a cyclic factor atrect- ing diphtheria which causes the disease to be somewhat more pre- valent at intervals of about six and a half years.

War Cartoons Are Very Similar tt> 1914 Var- ,iet3r — British Artists Pre- sent Hitler As a Gorilla, and Goering As Pig • British cartoonists have turned to their World War files for in- , spiration in caricaturing German ,leaders as huge gorillas, usually clutching a fistful. of children's bodies. There's only one difference in ,technique. When ltactnaker, the Dutch cartoonist, set the fashion in 1911, the Germans always were .,crowned with the spiked hehnets of the old imperial army. Today •'the "gorillas" wear the flat fati— gue caps of Nazi officials, Goebbels a Snake Hitler is almost always a gorilla ,n the less restrained sheets al - •though the Evening Standard con- -tinues to picture him as an inef- fectual little fellow with enormous feet, Goebbels sometimes is. pictured as a snake, and Goering appears as a pig. Other cartoonists' stand- bys are the snarling British lion, • the heroic French 'Marianne send- .ing troops Lo war and screaming .<lolish eagles. - Autumn Bulbs With the approach of the annual bulb -planting season comes one of the greatest opportunities of the year for bringing fresh beauty to the garden, no matter how large or small, how new or how old it may be. In no other type of gardening can the dreams of the planner so quickly or so surely be transmitted into reality. It is still a bit early to begin the bulb planting — with the exception of Madonna Liilies, colchicum, Autumn crocuses and a few other things. The general run of Spring - flowering bulbs goes in in Septem- ber ar. !,:October. But ,it is not • a day too 'soon to begin to plan just what is.to be planted, and to make up lists. In fact, many good gard- eners get their orders in long be- fore this time. { How Can I ? Bv.:ANNE ASHLEY Q.—How can I successfully measure molasses? A,—Grease the cup lightly be- fore measuring the molasses, or dip it full of flour and then empty it. Either of these methods will enable every drop of molasses to come out of the cup without stick- ing. Q.—How can I prevent a col- ored suede belt from fading on to the dress from perspiration? A.—This can be prevented by neatly lining the inside of the belt with a strip of waterproof ad- hesive- tape. Q..—How can I make putty? A.—Putty can be made merely by mixing linseed oil with sifted whiting until the proper consist- ency is acquired. Q.—How can I prevent the strings of a tennis racket from breaking when the racket is not being used? A.—Tennis racket strings shoiuld be covered with vaseline before putting away for the winter. This will prevent the strings from snapping during the time the rac- kets are not in use.. Q.—How can I clean linoleum effectively? A.—Add a little paraffin to the water to take out all dirt and grease and give an excellent pol- ish to the linoleuln. Rub paraffin oil well into the linoleum and it will retain its colors and wear twice as long as usual. City of Buffalo Named By Mistake The Indians' rids -pronunciation of two French words exclaimed by the Franciscan discoverer, Fr. Lou- is Hennepin, gave the city of Buf- falo its name. When Fr. Hennepin first saw the .Niagara River and its falls he burst forth: "Belle fictive!" His Indian guides heard him re- peat this phrase (meaning beauti- ful flow) so often that they used it themselves to describe the river. - But the red men were poor on their French, Their version of the Franciscan's words became in the course of the years more like "bouf-flo." They named the city after it,. Haug You Hoard • Mr. Henpeck (to boss),: "Sir, 1 think it's about time 3 got a raise." Boss: "What are you talking about?

Payment of royalties to "enemy authors" is forbidden under the Board of Trade regulations and Hurst and Blackett, Hitler's pub- lishers in Great Britain announced that royalties from "Mein I(ampt" will be given to the lied Cross. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. When a man invites a girl to dine isn't she privileged to order freely whatever she wants? 2. Does a well-bred person boast about his possessions, his home, his income rnd the like? 3, It is ever permissible to whis- per in public? 4. When a girl goes to a party with a young man ,svho is a stran- ger to all the guests, how should she introduce him? 5. Isn't a girl, still under age, privileged to issue an invitation to her home? 0. Should a woman ,take her partner's arm when entering the dining -room, at an informal din - nes:? Answers 1. Certainly; but unless she knows that her escort can afford it, she should not be too extrava- gant in her choice. Even if she knows that the cost is not to be considered, it is not good form to order as though she were starving, or that it is the first "real meal' she has had for a long time. 2. Never. This is a habit often in- dulged in by the nouveau riche, but a well-bred man or woman never refers to his possessions. The old proverb says, "Every fool is in love with his own bauble." 3. No. Persons near you may think you are commenting on their appearance. 4. Introduce him to the hostess, who will, if she knows her duty, introduce him to the oth- er guests. 5. It is better for the mother to do so .until the girl is of age. 6. No; she -should merely walk at his side. Placid English Life Disrupted Eskimos Work On Eiderdown New Industry on Southern Baf- fin Island Will Contribute to Livelihood of Many Inhalbi- tants An eiderdown industry which to expected to .contribute to the live- lihoo dof many of the 1,500 Eski- mos of southern Baffin Island on Hudson Strait is being established by J. J. Bildfeli of Winnipeg on be- half of the Hudson's Bay Company it Is announced by the Mines and Resources Department. An area embracing the southern coast of the island and all the Is- lands east of Cape Dorset to Pang- nirtung has been leased by the company for the purpose of estab- lishing sanctuaries for eider ducks au Arctic species, and a permit for collection of the down has been Is- sued under authority of the Migra- tory Birds Convention Act. To stuff Pillows, Cushions The down, small soft feathers from the breast of the duck, las a wide commercial value, being used extensively to stuff pillows, cush- ions, etc. LTader the company's plan, Eski- mo families participating in the industry would be allotted regions in which to collect eiderdown. It's believed development of the indus- try ou Baffin Island would contri- bute to livelihood of the natives especially at a time when they've little to do between hunting sea- sons. To see England at war you must quit the comparative calm and near -normalcy of London for the urgent preparedness of the coun- tryside. Motoring from town you quickly find signs of wartime interruptions of placid rural life. Urgency of Preparedness Everywhere in the southern towns and villages you find the same urgency of preparedness. In the town, navy and army of- ficers drive commandeered auto- mobiles. In the country soldiers are bit- , leted in a •village, filling every ,-tenon' .itt tha 1)l _ee_ loon, doing its est business in . history, adapts itself to war con- ditions by earmarking a private room for non-commissioned offic- ers. Tuned For War Down the road in a private park, trucks loaded with ammunition are lined up beneath broad oaks and guarded by armed sentries. The trim Georgian 'mansion near- by is a battalion headquarters. Sacks for bayonet practice swing from a -row of elms. Fields off lonely narrow roads hide anti-aircraft batteries. Close by, sentries guard a searchlight post—five lamp units walled in with standbags. Tents for the per- sonnel, patched cleverly with brown and green daubs, merge in- to field and tree. England is tuned for war. 1 IGI4r Tis VERYr NUTe DoYw Fe Tired? Irritable?? No ambi- tion: Look at your watch —n time.

Oalt, elm and ash trees attract lightning more than other varieties and smooth -barked trees are safest to shelter under during a thunder- storm, so if you are caught in one make for a short beech, or other smooth - barked tree — provided it does not stand alone. That beech. trees are safe from lightning seems to be borne out by the fact that there is no record of one being struck at Burnham Beeches or High Beech in Eng- land. (,Epping Forest), where near- ly all the trees are beech, Any tree is declared a fairly safe shelter, if it is in the middle of a good-siz- ed wood. It is the solitary tree, or the tree on the edge ot- a wood, that is dangerous.
