The shipwrecked party had spent
many long months on the desert is-
land. Then at last a large liner
anchored in the bay and a smart
boat put off for the shore.
As the boat drew near, the of
freer in charge threw a bundle of
newspapers ashore.
"The captain sent this bundle of
newspapers," he shouted. "After
you've read them he wants to know
whether you want to be rescued."
"What are those brown spots
on your lapel - gravy?"
"No, that's rust, They said
this suit would wear like iron."
The pilot of one of the Br'itis'h
"leaflet" planes reported back at
headquarters two hours before he
was due. His astonished C.O. asked
for an explanation.
"Well, sir," the young officer re-
plied, "1 flew over enemy territory
nal instructed and tipped out the
parcels over the side." .
"Do you mean you threw them.
out still roped in bundles?" asked
the C. 0. in an anxious voice.
"Yes, sir."
"Great Scot, man, you Alight
leave hurt somebody."
"Do you put your summer
clothes away in camphor balls
to keep the moths away?"
"No; I usually put them up
with three gold balls to keep
the wolf away."
Smith stopped his car at a cross-
roads and yelled to a farmer on a
waggon, "Hey, George, is this the
way to Olnemee?"
The farmer raised himself in as-
tonishment.
"Say, how did you • know my
:dame is George?" he asked.
"1 guessed it," said the motorist,
"Then," said the farmer as he
trove on, "guess yogi way to Onle-
wee."
Eskimo - "What would you
say, darling, if 1 told you
pushed my dog team for a
thousand miles through Ice and
snow, just to tell you 1 love
you?"
Eskirnoette: "I'd say that's
m lot of mush."

Too Easily Seen in War-
time
Great Britain's wartime archi-
tecture is shunning white houses.
They are more easily seen from
the air, especially in. the country,
than red -brick or dark walled
buildings.
New homes will be sombre -
colored and fitted with anti -gas,
air conditioning and raid shelters.
Roof will be of concrete and steel
to resist falling shrapnel. These
plans are outlined by M. Robert-
son, of the Royal Institute of Bri-

Wooden Shutters Back Again
"Old-fashioned wooden shutters
will come back again," he said.
"They are useful both ,for... black-

Leaded diamond window panes will

They do not allow so much light

Q. -How can I clean stained.
silks?
A. -An ounce of essence of
lemon and a half ounce of oil of
turpentine is an old-fashioned
remedy, which is often very ef-
fective.
Q -How can I prevent a double
chin?
A -For women who are de-
veloping the suggestion of a
double chin, it is a good idea to
wear a chin strap during the day
while alone. Even one hour' a day
in the chin strap will often work
wonders in reducing a double chin.
Q -How can I remove old` stains
from marble?
A -Make a paste of soft soap
and powdered unslaked - line; lay
it on with a brush and leeeeee a
week or .inbre. Then`. "•St vvt•
unslaked lime, soft soap, hot
wat-
er, and a brush. Repeat if neces-
sary. Restore the polish by rub-
bing with a piece of felt.
Q -How can I cause evaporat-
ed milk to stay fresh longer?
A -Take the milk out of its can
and keep it, in a glass jar.
Q -How can I make it easier to
clean the insides of kitchen draw-
ers?
A -Paint the insides of the
drawers with a hard white enam-
el and see how easily they can be
cleaned. A Piece of oilcloth cut to
fit the bottom of the drawer is
also a convenience.
J -How can I set colors in ma-
terial that has started to run?
A ---Ordinary table salt is ex-
cellent for this purpose.

Choose Krakow As New
Capital
Warsaw, now a city in shan'ib-
les, is likely to remain so unless
the Poles find money to rebuild
it. The Germans say they do not
intend to reconstruet the metro-
polis.
Three-fourths of its buildings
were destroyed last September
when an estimated 100,000 of the
1,225,000 inhabitants were killed
by bombers. •The Germans. have chosen Ira
kow as their capital for the new
Poland.
Walls of some of Warsaw's
wrecked buildings are being pull-
ed clown because they are poten-
tilil dangers to hurnan life. Even
the buildings still fit to be Odell-.
pied add to the deserted appear-
ance of the city because almost in-
variably their windows have been
boarded up or patched with the
broken glass taken from other Win-
dow frames. No window glass was
left intact in the entire city.

Scientists of Columbia Univer-

BODY DOESN'T "BURN" FUEL
The familiar old comparison of
the body with a fuel -burning engine
is being thrown out by modern me-
dical science.
The chemical substances in the
body -- proteins, fats and carbo-
hydrates - are constantly chang-
ing like a seething brew in a "wit-

Canada Will Skip
All Cannon Salutes
An order has been sent to all
saluting points in Canada cancel-
ling, for the duration of the war,
all cannon salutes.
Scaling down of such ceremon-
ial is standard practice in war-
time, it was said.
This means the 19 -gun vice-
regal salute, customarily fired at
the opening of the House of Com-
mons when the Governor-General
arives and again when he leaves,
will be omitted.
Similarly salutes usually fired
at the opening of the various pro-
vincial legislatures will be done
away with for the duration of the
-war.
Entertaining
Your _ Callers
There's A Definite Technique
About the Formal Afternoon
"Call"
The formal "afternoon call" upon
neighbors has more or less died
out; but any young bride is sure
to come in for a certain amount of
this kind of entertainment. So a.
few hints on the way to cope with
the situation may be useful to the
newly-weds.
Any time after three o'clock is
afternoon "calling time."
Have Tea Ready
Callers should stay only about
a quarter of an hour, so anyone
arriving before 3:30 p.nl.. will be
safely away before tea -time. But
should someone arrive nearer 4:00
p.m., or your conversation prove so
entertaining that your earlier cal-
ler is still there when 4 p.m. ap-
proaches; you will have to say: "Do
let me get you some tea."
Who Makes First Move
Formal callers will leave cards
at the end of a visite either on the
table beside them or on the table
in the hall. Then, when you return
such visits, 111 about a week's time,
leave .cards similarly, and choose
your,time and length of stay to cor-
respond with theirs. After these in-
terchanges actually 'no further
meetings need take place; but in
any case, it is not for you to make
the first move.
Farmers of Turkey produced
big crops this year, but war sent
-prices down and they may not re-
ceive even a normal return.
