Knocking off the knots in fine style though her engine -room tele-
graph reads but "half speed ahead" at the time of this photo, one of the
first Canadian built submarine chasers is seen here, during her official
trials at an eastern Canadian seaport. A corvette -class ship, the speedy
little warboat more than satisfied the party of naval and shipbuilding
officials who tried her out.

Those First Teeth
Are Very Important
Dr. T. L. Marsh writing in
Health, the official organ of the
Health League of Canada, refutes
the delusion that a child's first
teeth are of little importance
since they won't last long. On
the contrary, he asserts, they
should be looked upon as the
foundations for the permanent
teeth. Unless they are maintained
in the mouth in a healthy condi-
tion for the proper length of
time, he says, the Iower two
thirds of the face fails to develop
fully and symmetrically and the
whole appearance of the face may
be spoiled.
DENTIST 3 TIMES YEAR
More than this, he asserts, den-
tal infections progress more ra-
pidly in the teeth of children than
in those of adults, and he recom-
mends that children's teeth
should be examined at least three
times a year from three years of
age to adolescence.
Regarding the general care of
the teeth, Dr. Marsh urges thor-
ough mastication of fibrous foods
such as celery and raw apples.
Gum tissues need exercise no less
than muscles, he states, and also
the chewing of fibrous foods is
about the best way possible to
polish those surfaces of the teeth
that lie toward the tongue.
Diet has much to do with the
health of the teeth, says Dr.
Marsh. At least a pint of milk a
day should be drunk, and meals
should include one egg a day,
some fresh fruit and vegetables,
while sticky, starchy carbohy-
drates should be reduced to a
minimum. In winter months,
when sunbaths are impossible,
cod-liver oil should be taken in
order to supply the necessary
, vitamin D.

What Science f

SEEK SHOCK PREVENTIVE
Federal authorities have re-
quested medical research workers
at McGill University to speed up
their investigation into the cause
and prevention of shock.
War has made the solution of
the problem of shock as a cause
of death a matter •of urgency,
doctors explained. McGill re-
search workers have been tack-
ling it since the start of the year
with funds from the medical com-
mittee of the National Resarch

NEW CANCER DISCOVERY
An experiment which may mean
that the cause of cancer has been
found was reported last week.
Dr. John Frederick Menke, re-
search surgeon, announced in
Science that he had succeeded,
apparently for the first time in
any laboratory;• in extracting a
substance from human cancer
that would produce cancers in ex-
perimental animals,

LIVE WITHOUT VITAMINS
While an adequate supply of
nearly all the known vitamins is
necessary for maintenance of
health in human beings some of
the lower animals are able to get
along without certain vitamins.
Rats which can live in the dark
can remain in a healthy state
without vitamin D, the sunshine
vitamin. Now it has been demon-
strated that cockroaches, which
also are sun dodgers, do not
manufacture vitamin A in their
bodies and do not require it in.

Modern
Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. When room at the dinner
table is limited, would it be all
right to allow about 16 inches
for each person?
2. Should a man use his right
hand or left hand when tipping
his hat?
3. Is it rude to begin a tele-
phone conversation by saying,
"Who is this"?
4. Should a man "talk shop"
at a dinner party?
5. When invited for a week-
end visit and you are not sure
what kind of clothes to take, what
should you do?
6, Should a bridegroom give a
wedding gift to his bride?
Answers
1. No; this would be entirely
too crowded. The minimum space
to allow is 20 inches, while 80
inches is much better. 2. Either
hand, but it should be the one
farthest away from the person to
whom he is speaking. 3. Yes. It
is in the place of the person who
calls to quickly identify himself.
4. Never; nor at any kind of
party or social gathering. The
man who does is invariably con-
sidered a bore, 5. Ask your host-
ess what clothes you will require.
6. Yes; this is customary.
At Night
Down by the pond where the
water -bugs creep,
The green frogs hide all day;
Then at night, when it's time to
sleep,
They bring out their fiddles
to play!
Back in the woods, where the
beetle -bugs crawl,
The brown owl wakes up, too;
Through the dark trees you can
hear him call,
"0 who? Whoo-oo? 0 who?"
. —Juanita D. Miller,
in Christian Science Monitor.
Plant Detectives
The present way of discover-
ing minerals is to examine geo-
logical formations and take sam-
ples of the earth's strata, but a
new method has now been intro-
duced by two Swedish scientists.
They analyze the leaves And roots
of plants where mineral lodes
are suspected, for minerals are
dissolved by rain, mixed with the
soil in which plants grow and
sucked
upinto thei
roots, sten
.
and leaves. The scientists reduce
the leaves to ash and photograph
them. When examined under a
powerful mi

.haracteristic lines are always
teen, and it is possible to tell by
studying these whether a certain
element is present, This method
has proved successful in tracing
the rarer minerals, such as nickel
and molybdenum,

The newly-wed salesman, ac-
companied by his wife, entered,
the dining -room of the hotel which
he used to frequent. His order
ncluded roast chicken, but there
was some delay.
"Where's my chicken?" he de-
manded, somewhat irritably.
The waiter replied in a husky
undertone:
"Sorry, but if you mean the
little girl with blue eyes and fluf-
fy hair, she doesn't work here
now!"
"A fool and his money are
soon parted."
"Who got yours?"
"Yes," said the boastful young
man, "my family can trace its
ancestry back to William the Con-
queror."
"I suppose," remarked his
friend, "you'll be telling us that
your ancestors were in the Ark
with Noah?"
"Certainly not," said the other.
"My people had a boat of their'

A Montreal firm recently had
occasion to cable their London of-
fice to enquire whether one of
their clients was still quite safe,
as he was not answering cables,
and they took advantage of the
opportunity to enquire how their
London manager's parrot was
standing up to the bombing (the
parrot is quite a personality in
the home). The following cable
was received in answer:
" . Parrot well but has form-
ed disturbing habit of imitating '
air raid siren."
She: "How much money do
you happen to, have on you,
dear?"
He: "Between 98 and 100
dollars,"
"Isn't that quite a bit o5
money to be carrying
around?"
"Oh, two dollars isn't so
much."

harden thoroughly before plea,
ing the furniture on its feet.
Q. How can I 'fatten thin

ton before retiring so that the
oil can remain an as lotig 'as pos.
sible.
Q. What can I do if a cake
browns before it is done?
A. Reduce the heat, then
cover the cake with a piece of
brown paper. The cake will not
brown any more.
Q. How can I whiten handker-

in of cold water, to which a guar-
' ter of a teaspoon of cream of
tartar has been dissolved, and al-
low them to soak overnight.
Q. How can I easily punch a
new hole in leather when short-
ening the sewing machine belt,
or any similar job?
A. Heat a large needle reel

Pact Renewed
Year's Extension Of Trade
Treaty Announced
Extension of the Canada -New
Zealand trade agreement for a fur-
ther period of one year has been
announced by Hon. G. A, Mackin-
non, Trade Minister.
The agreement was concluded
May 24, 1932, for one year but has
been extended at various times
since then, the last extension being
in 1939 to September 30, 1940.
The agreement provides for fix-
ed rates of duty on certain enum-
erated goods imported into New
Zealand, and on all other products
the benefits of British preferential
tariffs. Corresponding concessions
are granted on New Zealand's pro-
ducts imported into Canada.
FALLING -OFF OF EXPORTS
Since December 6, 1938, the Gov-
ernment of New Zealand have
found it necessary to impose im-
port restrictions on goods import-
ed auto that country, This has been
due to the general finanot&..l post-'
tion in New Zealand, while since
Oa outbreak of the war the need
for conserving Roreign excliango
has made It necessary to curtail
Imports of goods from other coun-
tries to an avail greater degree
than had been the case with the
restrictions in force last year.
As a result there has been a
falling off in Canadian exports to
New Zealand, but the balanee of
trade between the two countries
is still in. favor of Canada.
Memorization
Is Important
Facts and Symbols Are Need-
ed Constantly; But Students
Must Know Meaning
Let no student in high school
or college suppose he can get 1,l-
ong without boning, (committing
things to memory). There are cer-
tain facts and symbols which will
be needed constantly. The earlier
they are memorized the better. An
example is the spelling of the tech-
nical vocubulary of any course.
Many are tempted to memorize
before they know what it means,
to memorize more words and
phrases. Though some can by con-
siderable cramming before exam-
ination make good grades through
this procedure, they are pretty sure
to meet with trouble by and by,
You'll learn really very little of any
subject this way.
Some students are content with
figur'in.g out the meaning. They
don't bother about committing ideas
or items to memory. They trust to
incidental memory. They neglect
a step in study at which they could,
through a little systematic effort
and self-discipline, get greatest div-
idends from small investment of ef-
fort. As a rule, what is worth fig-
uring out, is worth remembering.
Some practice at boning is good
practice for the student.
