ULTRA -VIOLET 'TELESCOPE
J telescope invented by the dir-
esetor of General F?lectric's light re-
search laboratory at Cleveland,
trtekes It possible for the human
eip'e to see more than 320 miles. Its
eenetruetion Is essentially simple
. - lenses and a screen to receive
110tra-violet rays. Nothing but ultra-
violet rays come into the telescope;
vet a machine to discharge such
*eye anywhere within the horizon,
lutit the telescope will pick them
yap, The invention may some day

t)aroopshdps, for the pilots could
ai,goal back and forth with ultra-
violet light, free from, any danger
Omit enemy submarines would see
them.
OXYGEN FOR DiESELS
Widespread use of diesel -engined
seirplanes has been brought a step
*loser through successful experi-
:Ittents with a new oxygen boosting
method of facilitating the takeoffs.
FIxperiments showed that by feed-
ing oxygen into the intake air
of a Diesel engine, its power out-
essit could be increased by 55 per
tent. for a few minutes without de-
tonation and without undesirable
etrain on the engine.

Sound Health
Habits Needed
Ontario's Health Minister Har-
old J. Kirby, in a recent address
at Guelph, said that when the
mass of people are prepared to
ally themsel : es with the leaders
in the scientific world the so-
es::ed preventaole diseases will
cease to exist,
STILL A CONCERN
"There is, however, a signifi-
cant number of disabling condi-
tions, the control of which is
still concerning the best minds
in the, field of medical research,"
Mr. Kirby told the Ontario Veter-
inary Association.
He was of the opinion that
while much will ultimately be re-
vealed as to the cause of these
diseases, the early establishment
of sound health habits and a con-
tro :ed program will do much to
lower the death and sickness
rates.
INSTRUCTION TO CHILDREN
Mr. Kirby suggested suitable
instructions should be given reg-
ularly to children and that provis-
ion should be made for early
discovery and correction of phys-
ical defects so commonly found
in early days of childhood.
The minister said that a satis-
factory health program is of the
utmost importance in the success-
ful prosecution of the war.
Canada Launches
Submarine Chaser
Without ostentation, in a war set-
ting, one of a fleet of sleek Canad-
ian -built submarine chasers was
launched from an Eastern shipyard.
While rain fell trona dull skies
overhead, and while a couple of
hundred grimy workmen 'cheered,
the trim craft slid along greased
runways into the St. Lawrence
River. A handful of company offi-
cials, several of the Royal and Roy-
al Canadian Navy's officers and a
lone khaki -clad military represen-
tative were on hand. t.
Constructed of Canadian mater-
ials by Canadian craftsmen, the
war vessel will serve under the
ensign of the British Royal Navy
soon after she is outfitted.
WILD PLOWER NAME'S
Rear Admiral H. A. Sheridan,
R.N., Admiralty representative on
the British Supply Board, cut the
white ribbon that 'sent the cham-
pagne bottle smashing against the
bow of the ship.
No woman had been asked to par-
ticipate in the official christening,.
simply because no •name had yet
been decided on by the Admiralty
in London, The likelihood is, Rear -
Admiral Sheridan said, that she
will bear the title of a. Canadian
wild flower, following the style of
similler British -made submarine
fighters.

HAVE
YOU HEARD?
A man who held the belief that
after a youth had attained his
majority he should be taught to,
fend for himself, gave his son a
thousand dollars, and told his
that henceforth he would have
to earn his own living. The young
man did no work, but spent a
riotous few months abroad, and
then found himself almost penni-
less. His sole desire was to get
home, so he decided to send a
cable.
He found he had money suffi-
cient to pay for only four words
so, after considerable thought, he
telegraphed to his father: "Fatted
calf for one!"

The sailor was recounting his
experiences to a dear old lady
'when she interrupted him.
"But what rank did you hold?"
the asked.
"Ship's optician, lady," was the
reply.
"Ship's optician? I never knew
there was such a rank in the
Navy. What did your duty con-
sist of?" asked the old lady, cur-
iously.
"Scraping the eyes out of pota-
toes," was the startling reply.

Poles Came Early
To Canadian Lands
While Polish immigration In
volume commenced at the end of
the last century, history records
that when Lord Selkirk arrived
with his expedition of Scottish
settlers in 1812, some Polish were
added to his contingent in East-
ern Canada and proceeded with
him to the Red River 'Valley in
Manitoba. In noting this fact, the
Colonization Department of the
Canadian National Railways states
that in addition to being excel-
lent_ farmers the Poles have con-
tributed generously to the up -
building of Western Canada by
a traditional culture which in-
cludes folk songs, dances and a
stational drama.
