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,.

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.

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.

Smooth -Barked Types Are Saf-

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.
