It shows passengers in the lifeboats of the big liner during the encounter with a submarine off the coast of Portugal. The Qrninander of the II -Boat (later revealed as German) repeatedly • emphasized his determination to torpedo the "American ship" . "This ils, an. American ship" finally was understood and believed. The liner 'pas then allowed to proceed. TOP photo here shows the tense -faced ),lassengers in the lifeboat awaiting the result of the frantic exchange of signals.

"Yes,". said the talkative one, "I woe home one, morning after mid- night and, as I opened the floor, I saw a stranger kissing my wife. I ilesed the door softly and hurried downstairs. At 1 a.m. I came back and opened the door softly - and there was the stranger, still kissing my wife. So I went downstairs once again. At 1:16-" "Just a minutes," interrupted the other man. "Why did yon keep gal- loping downstairs? Wir? didn't you w alk right into the room?" The talkative one frowned. "What?" he cried. "And have my wife catch me coming home at that hour?" Student: "I'm handling this shine pretty well." (Instructor: ?'.Yeah, just keep 94 up." ¶Phe customer was dissatisfied 'with the quality .of the milk. "It can't be helped," said the milkman. "It's due to the shortage of grass. Why. the cows are so up- set about it that I've seen them cry- fng because they can't do them- selves credit." • "Well perhaps so," said the eus- itiheir,'wearily, "but yea. might, try le .prevent' them. dropping their tea's into our bottle:" An emigrant was preparing to leave his native land and try his luck abroad. An acquaint - since inquired casually: "What acre you going to do when you strive In America?" "Take up land." "How much?" "Only a shovelful at time." Two piano movers knocked on the door. A meek -looking fellow •kith• an inferiority complex opened "Did yoli order a piano from the li'latnote Music Shop?" asked the *Irk piano mover. The tenant shook his head. "Not a piano," he corrected. "I or- dered a flute." The piano mover studied a slip of limper. "According to this," he grumbled, '''you ordered a piano," 'Phe ;man with the- inferiority 'omelet studied the two husky stiano movers. "Very well," he said, nervously, 'Move it in, But if your firm makes +any more errors like that, I'll have to deal somewhere else!" A newspaper reporter had tak- en the announcement of a wed- ding over the telephone. A few days after it was printed, he ee- ceived an excited, Indignant call from the bridegroom. "Just What do you mean," the bride- groom growled, "saying the couple will live at the old man's? 1 distinctly said we would live at.tthe old manse!"

Stewart of Ottawa, Canadian coal administration, told the Canadian, Retail Coal Assoc' iation annual convention that no domestic shortage of coal should be anticipated. The mines of Eastern and Western Canada and those of the United States were capable of vastly increasing their output. It was likely all of Bri- tain's extra production would be needed by France since Germany's invasion of Holland, Belgium and • Northern France and that Can- ada "must look less to Britain for our anthracite and more to our Canadian mines and to the United States." -0-11-0. f-41-4-4-1, •-•-• 01-U.1 ii•4 4 4 What Science' Is Doing • --��'-�i-1 a a 4-4.•1 1-,p •4.11 4 -,- s4 SUGAR LACK LACK AFFECTS BRAIN Lack of sugar and other carbohy- drates in the brain may result in certain abnormal nervous and men- tal reactions, according to a report of two Kansas City doctors. VITAMIN;'HELP.S EYES 'New evidencethat a vitamin (ri- boflavin, part of the vitamin .I3 com- plex) cures certain kinds of eye- strain, burning and itching eyelids and painful sensitiveness to strong light is reported, Doctors who made tests said it "caused prompt and sometimes a dramatic relief" of such ocular symptoms in persons lacking en- ough of the vitamin in their diet. SPEED CONCEPTION CUT First complete measurement of the speed of rotation of a spiral ne- bula of stars, the same sort of sys- tem which forms the milky way with the earth as one of its little spokes, was announced to Ameri- can Association for the Advance- ment of Science. The measurements change one of man's conceptions of the speed of the earth through space; cutting It down from per- haps 100 miles a second to only 20. NEW PROCESS KEEPS LARD John .Holmes, president of Swift and Company, announced last week the discovery of what he described as a "revolutionary development" in the processing of lard. The development, the heat pack- er president said, involves the ad- dition of small quantities of a veg- etable substance obtained from tro- pical trees, making It possible to protect lard's natural advantages and at the same time keeping it fresh when exposed to air without refrigeration, 10PkiTcH°14.171:1 Heat/ash ▪ sa•a, ,cum rrbml tuningof tont Teter fon, atmete'e foot, tozemg end other ezternnlly caused skis troubles, use world-fnmoue, cooling, tete eal;tie, liquid 1).11.1).

PRESGH1PTi -4-4-4-44,4 Modern ern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q, Are "howdy" and "116v -do' correct greetings. A, No, they are vulgarisms, The correct forms are "How do you do? Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening." Q. If a husband and wife have a woman friend at dinner, only the three persons, should the husband neat the guest? ' A. Yes, He should seat the guest first and then his wife. Q. Should a man constantly refer to his wife as she"? A. No; this Is disrespectful, Q. When meeting a friend you have not seen for a long time, is it all right to say, "Have you been ,111? You are looking so thin"? A. Never. If you cannot truthfully say that the friend .is looking well, it is better to make no remark at all as to your impression. Q. When attending an informal dinner and a guest sees that an- other guest Is taking no part in the conversation, what should one do? A. It is the duty of the hostess (not a guest) to see that each one of the guests takes part in the con - vers ation. - Q. May a debutante wear a string of pearls at her coming-out party? A.

FRESH VEGETABLES Did you know that the tempt - Ing looking "heart" of a young, green cabbage is of lower food value than the outside leaves? That is one of the items of in- formation handed on by the Health League of Canada, in con- nection with the League's cam- paign to raise the standards of health and efficiency in Canada. Moreover, says the Health League of Canada, since some of the value of cabbage, -vitamins and minerals -are lost in boiling, cabbage salad is more nutritious than cooked cabbage. It is pointed out, too, that price has little to do with the food value of vegetables. Brussels sprouts may cost three times as much as the humbler cabbage, but they are net one bit more nu- tritious. Canned vegetables, though they are put up in three grades: fancy, choice, and stand- ard, are of equal value whatever the grade. Inexpensive Items And here is a hint as to the cheapest way of obtaining to- mato juice, without which lunch or dinner is not complete for a great many people: buy the lov- est priced grade of canned to- matoes, says the Health League of Canada, and strain off the juice. The residue may be- com- bined with other foods or used in soups. One other suggestion: don't use soda to preserve the color in cook- ing green vegetables. Not only is it unnecessary if the lid is left off the pot, but it destroys the valuable vitamin C, says the •. Health League. ' "Asphalt -Lake" Traps Animals Prehistoric Fossils Are Found Near Russian City, Preserved in Ancient Tar A prehistoric "asphalt lake," rich In animal fossils, has been discov- ered a few miles from the famous Soviet oil city of Baku, writes a correspondent to the London Sun- day Observer. Many centuries ago the lake, little more than 300 square yards in area and six feet deep, was a mass of sticky asphalt which glis- tened in the sun. PRIMITIVE WILD HORSES In the early quaternary period, hundreds of sabre -tooth tigers, pri- mitive wild horses, deer, bears, and wolves; also other animals mistook the glistening surface for water, plunged in to quench their thirst and were caught forever in the sticky morass, The fossil wealth of the Baku "asphalt lake" which is compared by paleontologists to the famous "tar lake" in southern California, was discovered by a group of,.young Soviet geology students on an ex- eursion.

Lyle's ring-necked pheasants, Fort Worth, Texas. They look through rose-colored glasses. Dr. Lyle made the glasses for his pheasants in a move to eut down homicides among the fowl. Colored glasses prevent the birds from "seeing red" or any- thing blood -colored. A spot of red, the doctor explained, has al- ways been the signal for a knock- down„dragout fight in the animal kingdom. ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS...
