Mosquito Ranch Need Clothing For Refugees Red Cross is Asking For Donations Suitable For Older Boys and Girls and Adults Sheltered In England HAVE YOU .HEARD? i A Pole was passing through Berlin with his small son. he boy saw a statue of Hitler grid inquired who he was. "Why, he's the man who freed us from our chains," the father said. "You know, mother's nice gold chain and my watch chain?" Joe: "What is a harmoni.. ca?" Jim: "Corn on the cob set to music."

"But why bother me? Is he seeing elephants or something??" the doctor asked, annoyed. the "That's the trouble," reply. "The room is full of 'em and he can't see any I" • More and more garments for girls and boys over ten, and for adults, are urgently needed in England to clothe the more than 100,000 refugees from the Chan- nel Islands and the continent of Europe, according to despatches received by the Canadian Red Cross Society. Members of the more than 700 women's groups who resumed their war time work for the Red Cross in Toronto this month are being asked to devote .•much of their efforts for the next few months to providing clothes for these people who have, in many cases, been moved abut so many times that they have lost what clothing they had. Workers are reminded that warm winter clothing will soon be needed, both for the English climate and for children who may come to Canada in the next few months. WARM WINTER ONES Letters coming in to Red Cross headquartrs tell of the gireat appreciation felt for whiat has al- ready been sent by Canadian wo- men. A woman who has been working constantly, alleviating the distress among . refugees, writes to her mother, "We simply burst into tears when we opened the box from Canada. Everything was of such good quality, so well made and so exactly what we wanted." All the garments that are shipped to England are made from new material, it was pointed out by Mrs. George Royce, act- ing director of the Women's War Woir'k for Toronto Branch. She says the women of Toronto have done wonders in obtaining sup- plies of good material. Many are extremely clever at making gar- ments out of small pieces of goods. One of the queerest "ranch- 's" in the werld raises mosquit- oes for the express purpose of giving people mild attacks of malaria. This is because certain types of mental disease can only be cured when the tissue is at- tacked For malaria. germ. the -i�aciced by g this purpose the eggs of mos- quitoes are collected, and, when. hatched, the young are fed on rabbit's blood and kept t i bottles. es. When a patient is singled out for biting, the open mouth of the 'crottle is placed against the leg and fifty vicious mosquitoes do their worst. It takes that num- ber to ensure that he will be in- fected, but the patient gets ma- laria in only a mild form. Whut Science° h Doing N -..•-T P.) v .

A certain actor who walked across the stage in a street scene of a third-rate drama was fond of telling his friends what he would accomplish when he had a speaking part. No matter how. small it was, he would show thein some real acting. Eventually his opportunity came. He was booked for a corn- ing production. He was to appear In one of the scenes and say two words: "It is." For three weeks he rehearsed al sorts of gestures, expressions, nightly before the mirror trying tones, until he felt perfect. The eventful night arrived when the curtain was to rise on the new play for the first time, and the actor impatiently waited his cue. It came. "And so this is the end?" With his best tragedian air he stalked to the, centre of the stage, end in a voice of thunder cried: " Is it?" HIBERNATION FOR CANCER A new -type "hibernation bag" in which a cancer sufferer for- got his pain and a narcotic ad- dict found "complete cure" was described last week. CURE FOR DYSENTERY Sulfathiazole, a baby member of the amazing sulfanilamide family, is bidding strongly for recognition as the Long -.sought, effective weapon against dysen- tery bacilli. Atlanta, Ga., physicians have seen this drug score repeated, spectacular " victories, over aute dysentery in children one to three years old. DARKENS GRAY HAIR Discovery that pantothenic acid turns gray hair dark in rats is announced in Science, official journal of the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sci- ence. This acid is one of the numer- ous fractions of vitamin B. Por three years dieticians have reported that soa ething in vita- min a- iin B has the ability to turn gray hair darker, When graying has been caused by lack .of. this somewhat mysterious m us vitamin o y fraction, the restoration has been complete. Films average 20,000 feet in length when shown; but usually about 35",000 feet have been taken. This means a wastage of 15,000 feet for every film. "You sold me a car two weeks ago." "Yes, sir." "Tell me again all you said about it then. I'm get- ting discouraged." Less Than Half The People in England Are Now Carry- ing Their Gas -Protectors Gas masks which nearly every Englishman carried at the out- break of the war, have been dis- appearing from the streets gradu- ally but steadily until less than half the population carries them habitually. An Englishman thinks nothing of burdening himself daily with an umbrella and an attache case in which he may carry anything from papers to lunch and a change of socks. TOO MANY FORGOTTEN But he was a bit upset when possession of a gas mask, as well as a ticket, was demanded for admission to a 'movie. The movies soon foundthe accumulation of forgotten masks too great to cope with, and drop- ped the rule. There was a marked drop in the number of gas mask carriers im- mediately. Women still generally carry them, as well as accompanying toddlers who lug containers al- ' most half their size. ONLY FALSE ALARM But when German gas attacks failed to materialize, attempts to get the public accustomed to wearing masks were chiefly lim- ited to newspaper appeals and warnings. Some business establishments still insist on their employes don- ning the masks at intervals for practice in working in them. Since the start of the war Lon- don has had one gas attack alarm, "and it was a false alarm. w� How Can I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I wash delicate laces? A. This can be done effective- ly by wrapping them around a milk bottle, fastening the ends and dipping the bottle up and down in soapy water until the lace is clean. Rinse in the same way, using clear water. Long pieces of lace are best washed in this manner. Q. How can I make a good stuffing for pillows? A1. Old silk garments, cut into very fine pieces, make an excel- lent stuffing for pillows. They are soft and cool and as easily shaken out as feathers. Q. Hwo can I keep plants moist? A. Water -soaked newspapers twisted around the roots of the plants, against the dirt, will keep the plants moist. Q. How can I remove sun tan? A. Buttermilk applications will usually prove effective. Or, mix l,¢ ounce of glycerine, 1 ounce of rosewater, the juice of one small lemon, and apply. Q. How can I remedy disfigur- ing scratches on wall paper? A, Moisten a scrap of the paper which has been saved and then carefully scrape off the coloring with a sharp knife. Ap- ply this coloring to the scratch and when dry it will scarcely be noticeable.

K. Howard, head of the Fish and Game Depart- ment, Canadian National Rail- ways. CLIFF LAKE SECTION Among the many territories making a sportsman's paradise is the Cliff Lake section of North- western Ontario, not only, noted for its big game hunting but also as one of the finest muskie fishing waters in America, stated Mr. Howard. "Comfortable logy cab- ins have been erected on the shores of this lake for the ac- commodation of sportsmen visit- ing the district on fishing or hunting trips" he said. Fishing consists primarily of muskies and salmon trout, although there is a good supply of pickerel and great northern pike while the district provides very good hunt- ing for big and small game, as well as waterfowl, stated Mr. Howard. Of special interest to the fall canoeing enthusiast are the almost unlimited possibilities of the region for canoe travel, he said. "Convenient canoe trips up to a month's duration may be arranged with the management of Kenneally Lodge and Camps, with office at Quibell, Ontario, who, in addition, can supply canoes, guides, camping outfits and provisions." Access to this comparatively new sports dis- trict of the Cliff Lake section is made at Quibell station on the transcontinental line of the Can- - adieu National Railways, where guests are met and conducted to camp. BIG GAME TERRITORY At Vermillion Lakes is situ- ated Mike Ament's Camps, with office at Sioux Lookout, Ontario, on the Canadian National line. In addition to muskies, small mouth black bass, salmon trout, wall -eyed pike and great north- ern pike, the Vermilion Lakes section has become known as a splendid big game territory, where moose, bear and deer are plentiful, as well as ducks, ac- cording to Mr. Howard. "The fa- cilities offered by this territory for fishing and hunting make it one of the best on the contin- ent" concluded Mr. Howard. General Ion Antonescu, long a bitter foe of Magdafupes u, is the new strong Kin a. He was called upon -.by g Carol to form a new government amid nationwide turbulence. He laid down his own terms for ac- cepting the call, one of which was the exiling of Magda Lupe- scu. Shortly after Antonescu be- came military dictator, King Carol abdicated in favor of Crown Prince Michael. Apple Crop Decrease Over Million Barrels Preliminary estimate of the 1940 Canadian apple crop places it at 4,421,000 barrels compared with the final estimate of 5,791,- 900 barrels in 1939. Production of pears is esti- mated at 550,400 bushels com- pared with 577,100 last year while the peach crop production is considerably lower at 784,400 bushels compared with 935,000. The 1940 grape crop is placed at 42,800,000 pounds compared with 55,595,900. Americans Guard Greenland Mines U. S. Coastal Patrol Is Keep- ing its Eye Upon Valuable Cryolite Deposits The Brooklyn Eagle says four heavily-ai'med U. S. coast guard ves- sels manned by 500 men have es- tablished a protective patrol over Greenland's cryolite mines, the world's only commercial source of the important mineral used in re- fining aluminum. Coincident with the disclosure, the state department in Washing- ton forbade officers and crew mem- bers of the cutter Comanche, which returned from the Greenland patrol to talk about their work, according to the paper. The Eagle says the cutters Com- anche, George W. Campbell, North- land and Duane have been based at Ivigtut, Southwest of Greenland, since June 1 to protect the valuable mines, which produce a metal used ' in extracting aluminum from baux- ite ore, malting it valuable to the airplane industry.

Mouth breath- ing means the introduction of germs into the throat and breath- ing passages. The nose acts as a filter; having a lining of fine hairs which stop the progress of harmful particles. If the mouth is kept closed, the saliva is then quite clean and healthy. If the mouth is continually open it be- comes dry and the saliva will be contaminated with germs. This may lead infection to the tonsils. Correct breatihingi through the nose also expands the chest. EXPANDS CHEST PROPERLY If babies and young children do not expand their chests while their bones and muscles are soft, they will grow up with narrow, hollow chests. This will cause insufficient lung expansion, and cold and bronchitis will result. Will you do, all you can to see that baby breathes correctly from birth? His funny little nose has not much spare space inside it and any dried miscue will soon block it. Therefore clean it be- fore he goes to sleep and when you dress him in the morning. If his nose is blocked his mouth will fall open when he is asleep and he will soon start a habit of mouth breathing. Do not lay hien down on his back because in this position his mouth is more likely to fall open. If he turns on to his back and his mouth comes open when he is asleep, it is easy to put a rolled up handkerchief under his chin to keep his mouth shut. Baby must never wear anything tight or restricting to his move- ments, and stays that tie across the chest are harmful. His clothes must be loose and free, giving complete freedom of arm move- ment. ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS...
