To chronicle the exploits of Canada's soldiers in England and later in the front lines, these four. Canadian a,ewspapermen have crossed the Atlantic and are now in Britain.

(10 i HaveYoaHeard ig • 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." Gets Distinguished Flying Cross White Douses Are Unpopular In Great Britain Just Now - 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- tish Architects of London. Wooden Shutters Back Again "Old-fashioned wooden shutters will come back again," he said. "They are useful both ,for... black- outs and keeping out brokers glass. Leaded diamond window panes will be fashionable. They do not allow so much light through and a bursting bomb would only cause them to billow, not shatter.

"Mrs, Carter, I would like you to know my wife." Row Can l? BY ANNE ASHLEY • 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?

They Will Not Restore T h e Polish Capital. Warsaw Is To. Remain in Ruins More Poles Find More Money to Rebuild It -Nazis 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. d toil, it the face is round It Avoid Obvious, T1OUSs thrishould 1)0 'Alt on the cheekbones ificiaal Loo, Natural Makeup Is Always Most Flattering What ScienCe is Doing PEOPLE ARE LIKE RACIOS Every person and .every living thing on earth is a radio' broadcast ing and receiving, set unconscious- ly sending out and receiving long- wave wireless messages Scientists of Columbia Univer- sity declare that all atoms, whether part of the heart tissue of man or a piece of steel, constantly emit ra- I dio waves which can be detected and measured.

The chemical substances in the body -- proteins, fats and carbo- hydrates - are constantly chang- ing like a seething brew in a "wit- ches' cauldron," it is said, whether food is eaten .or not. Recent exper'i'ments have proved that food taken into the body mere- ly enters into the great number of complicated reactions already go- ing 00, 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. 1 STOPPED bra dilfy •or Money Back l'or quick relief from itching of eczema, pimples, ath- lete's foot, males, scabies, radtes and other externally caused Akan troubles, use world-famous, cooling, ante, aerate liquid D.
