"Fiiil'e And The Sword" Laiol Waste This Polish Village
A village fire brigade "somewhere in Poland" is shown making a gallant but futile effort to fight a blaze caused
by German incendiary bombs dropped during an air raid. Notice the lack of proper equipment, the water
being drawn from horse-drawn tank carts. Each fireman wears a gas mask alung across his shoulder.

A device attached to a nursing

national Plowing Match —
To Compete with British
Plowmen
A new feature of the Interna-
tional Plowing Match which will
be held at Brockville this year is
the Trans -Atlantic Class, sponsor-
ed' by Salada Tea Company. As a
result of the generous contribution
of that company, the Plowmen's
Association plans for the first time
in its history, to send Canadian re-
presentatives overseas to compete
in matches in the British Isles. So
consequently, much new interest
has been aroused among the farm-
ers throughout the Province. In
addition to the trip and Gold and
Silver medals to the two Trans-At-
lantic
rans-Atlantic winners, Salada is donating
twelve cash prizes for this event
totalling $150.00.
Furthermore, branches through-
out the Proyiuce will each have a

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1.—Is it permissible to examine
the various dishes on a cafeteria
counter before selecting a certain
one.
2.—If a party is given for the
purpose of announcing an engage-
ment who tells the news?
3.—Should the telephone num-
ber ever be used in formal invi-
tations?
4.—Is it an indication of being
"a man of the world" for a guest
to arrive at a party in a state of
intoxication, or become intoxicated
at the party?
5.—When a guest, invited to
dinner, finds , that it will be im-
possible for him to arrive at the
appointed hour, what is the best
thing for him to do?
G. When a young man calls at
a girl's home to take her out for
the evening, which suggests leav-
ing?
Answers
1.—Yes, if it can be done with
a glance, but one should not finger
the saucers, or be conspicuous in
selecting one that seems to be the
largest. 2.—The girl herself, or
her mother, tells the guests as
they arrive; or if the party is a
dinner it is told by the father. 3.
—No. The telephone number is
used only in business correspond-
ence, and in informal notes and
letters. 4.—No. With the aver-
age hostess such action is unpard-
onable, and this particular guest
will be "among the missing" at her
next party. 5.—Telephone his
host or hostess immediately, ex-
plain, and request that they do not
wait for hila, 6,—Either one may
'.suggest it.

How Can 1
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q.—How can I prevent black
spots from appearing on boiled
potatoes?
A.—Add a teaspoonful of vine-
gar to the water while they are
boiling.
Q.—How can I prevent chair
Iegs from denting the linoleum?
A.—Buy rubber crutch tips and
place on the bottoms of the chair
legs. These will prevent the chair
legs from making dents in the lino-
leum, and also avoid much noise
when moving the chairs around.
Q.—How can I relieve cough-
ing?
A.—In severe cases of cough-
ing, one or two tablespoonfuls of
pure glycerine in pure rye whis-
key, or hot rich cream will afford
almost instant relief.
Q.—How can I keep the coffee
pot sweet?
A.—Sprinkle salt in it and rub
well around the inside with a
damp cloth. Then rinse thorough-
ly with boiling' water.
Q.—How can I prepare a good
sandwich filling'
'A.—Add to 1 cup of chopped
ham enough vinegar' to moisten
and 1 tablespoon' of peaii-iit<'butter -"
Add celery salt and pepper as sea-
soning. Mix weal before spreading
between slices of bread.
Q. -How can I prevent splash-
ing when watering house plants?
A.—Use a small funnel when
watering the house plants. Hold
the funnel close to the roots when
pouring the water, and there will
be no splashing.
When Turnip
Goes Stylish
Ontario Product For Export
Across the Line Is A
Fancy Vegetable
There are sections of Ontario
which export turnips, and the tur-
nip in that trade has become quite
a dandy, says the Peterborough
Examiner. It is cleaned and waxed
and in some cases the shipping sta-
tion puts its name on the product.
•The,trades takes the turnips to the
United States, but the cows do not
get them there. They are for table
use, and there are plenty of people
across the line who are convinced ,
our turnip has a taste all its own.
They regard them as many of our
folk do the sweet potato from the
South.
Gets Twenty Cents A Bushel
Right now the export business
has commenced. Last year prices
ranged from 10 to 12 cents per bu-
shel, but good turnips are now
quoted at from 15 to 18 cents per
bushel. In addition shipments are
always paid for in American funds
and that adds at least 10 per cent.
to the receipts.
When through demand, taste or
favorable exchange turnips get to
the position where they enter the
sphere of 20 cents per bushel they
have joined the aristocracy of ag-
ricultural big wigs,
In the past two years, 354 wo-
men students have graduated from
Soviet naval engineering colleges.

straight Amigo -Phos, may supply
too much Nitrogen and cause the
grain to go down. This would
not likely occur at 50 lbs. per
acre. Anuno-Phos. of course, car-
ries no Potash. Clay soil is natu-
rally fairly well supplied with Pot-
ash unless it is a piece of land
which has been heavily cropped
for some years. One other point:
Ammo -Phos. is a very concentrat-
ed form of fertilizer, hence be
careful not to apply it too heavily
next to the seed.
Q.—Please,tell me what is the
value of chicken manure (fresh
and dry) compared with Nitrate
of Soda. I want to, use the chick-
en manure Chiefly on asparagus
and orchard. '"J.. W, P., Middle-

NONE FiNER MADE

A.—Answering. your inquiry of
the 2Gth, as to comparison of
chicken manure with Nitrate of
Soda. Poultry manure carries to
the ton 22 lbs. Nitrogen, 17 of
Phosphoric Acid and 11 of Pot-
ash. Nitrate of Soda (15% N.)
carries to the ton 300 lbs. Nitro-
gen, no Phosphorus and no Potash.
This shows that the Nitrate of So-
da is about 14 times as strong in
Nitrogen as the chicken manure,
but it does not carry the other in-
gredients. This will give you a
guide as to the rate at which you
would apply the Nitrate of Soda
to the asparagus and orchard, it
you were making a basic applica-
tion of say, 200 lbs. of Nitrate of
Soda per acre. The chicken man-
ure is valuable as a dressing to
the orchard, providing the trees
need Nitrogen. This you could
judge by the twig growth. The
asparagus will benefit materially
by the Phosphate and Potash if
chicken manure is applied to it.
Car of Future
Like A House
Prediction That It Will Be A
Horne on Wheels With
Hardly Any Increase in Size
The automobile of the future, as
described by Edwin L. Allen, a
well-known figure in the American
auto industry, resembles a home
more than the present vehicles
that fill city streets.
"In the not too distant future,"
he said, " we will walk up to our
car, push a button, and the 'door
will open. We will have the impres-
sion of entering a commodious
room. It will not be necessary to
crawl around stationary seats and
trip over bumps and tunnels in the
floor. The seats will be light, mov-
able chairs and the floor' will be
wide and flat.
"A portion of the roof—will be.
made of a curved translucent mat-
erial
aterial which will admit the health -
giving rays of the sun, at the same
time removing the glare. A series
of buttons will regulate the temp-
erature and humidity to any desir-
ed condition of air. Pressing an-
other button will unfold a conceal-
ed bed from out of the partition be-
tween the passenger and engine
compartments. Many little passen-
ger conveniences will be installed,
such as toilet and lavatory facilit-
ies. All of this will be done without
increasing the width or the height
of the car at all and the length
only slightly."
"As we glide along," he said,
"we will not be cut eft from com-
munication with the outside world,
for there will be radio speakers
and microphones in the walls, and
without removing our eyes from
the road we will be able to press
a button and carry on a two-way
conversation with our home or of-
fice."
Germans Wear
Special Armor
iReturrt ito Mediaeval Costume
Adopted for Machine Gun-.
ners
Dispatches from the westera
front in Popolo di Roma Itallaa
newspaper, have described a new
kind of armor—reminiscent ot
horse and buggy days as well as
the age of knighthood—being wore
by German soldier's.
The armor consists of stream-
lined shields, the newspaper said.
and of helmets with metal side-
boards—similar in appearance be
blinders for horses—designed to
protect the face.
Shields And Blinders
The armor, especially designed
for sharpshooter units, .as said
to be of almost impenetrable alloy
For offensive purposes, it was said,
each armored soldier was equip-
ped with a small machine gun fie-
iug 120 bullets a minute. •
These sharpshooter groups, the
reports said, were organized into
small units which saw action oa
the western front for the first
time late in "eptember.
Good Market For
Tobacco Is Seen
Ontario Producers Likely To
Benefit By . Preference
Flue -cured tobacco growers ot Oab.
ario anticipate a fairly brisk mar-
ket this fall for their 1939 crop,
with announcements made that the
British buyers will give preference
to the Empire,'crops. Representa-
tives of, the iilajor buying cotnpea-
les, inspecting new crops, confirm.
these reports. The war is expected
to increase rather- than decrease
the demand for tobacco, particulat:e-
ly cigarette types.
The Iatest estimate of the 1930
flue -cured crop is from 85,000,000
to 88,000,000 pounds, or from 4,009-
000 to 5,000,000 pounds under the
1938 record-breaking crop of 92,-
