This one, LEFT, was repaired by Royal Air Force experts and flown by R.A.F. test pilots to get valuable data on these planes. This one is a Messerschmitt 110, Germany's best fighting plane. It mounts four machine- guns in the nose and a cannon under the cockpit. The British Spitfire mounting eight machine-guns in the wings which deliver deadly cross-fire, are said to be more than a match for the Messerschmitt in sky fight- ing. A Royal Air Force expert is shown, RIGHT, examining the gas tank from a German JU-38 bombing plane brought down in a raid on England. The tank is of the self-sealing kind thatniay be shot through with bullets and still retain the fuel. Various layers of vulcanized rubber, self-sealing rubber, chrome leather and fibre make up the tank. R.A.F. experts declared this one is a complicated affair and less effi- cient than the self -sealers used by the R.A.F. Chief •Manganese Sources Here? Nova Scotia Field May Have To Supply Empires Need of This War Material Now That Dakar is Gone Possibility Nova Scotia may re- place Dakar as the Empire's source of maganese essential war metal, was seen last week as the Nova Scotia Mines Minister, Hon. L. D. Currie, announced a To- ronto company (Springer Ex- ploration) was surveying manga- nese deposits in the province. Manganese was mined in Nova Scotia during the first Great War. NOW CARRY OUT RESEARCH A month's survey of the field will be made by a geologist who will report the extent of the man- ganese deposits to the provincial government. Exploratory work on manganese deposits at Bourlardarie, Loch Lomond, Tennycape and East Mountain has been carried out for more than a year by the pro- vincial government. Lieut. -Gov. of Manitoba R. F. McWilliams, of Winnipeg, has been named lieutenant -gov- ernor of Manitoba to succeed Hon. W. J. Tupper. Mr. McWilliams will take office on Nov. 1. World's Best Soil On some of the Black Earth re- gion of Southern Russia wheat has been grown for seventy years on end without fertilizer. This is the richest soil in the world, and it covers an area of nearly 150,- 000,000 acres. It stretches from the Carpathians to the Ural Moun- tains, and is bounded on the north by the Pinsk Marshes. Towards the Black Sea its thickness diminishes, but in the centre of this great tract the top three feet of the soil contain as much as 40,000 lb. of nitrogen to the acre. The best soil in Eng- land has little more than a quar. ter of this nitrogen content. There are patches of prairie land in Manitoba which are al- most equally fertile; while the depth of rich soil in the valley of the lower Mississippi makes this one of the most fertile re- gions on earth.

Should the host and host- ess always supply new decks of cards for a bridge party? 2. When a player makes a mistake in a bridge game, is it permissable for another player to call his attention to it? 3. Please name six or seven things that a person may eat with the fingers? 4. On what social occasions is a man privileged to wear a business suit? 5. Is it all right for a hostsess to serve her guests with the same dish she has served them on a former occasion? 6. Is a man permitted to "cut in" at a dance when he has never been introduced to the girl? Answers 1. Yes, always, and for a poker party too. To throw out a soiled dilapidated deck of cards would be about the same as if the host were unshaven and wearing a soiled, wrinkled shirt. 2. No. Criticism by one player of an- other, in any game, is not good sportsmanship. 3. Bread, crack- ers, cookies, candy, salted nuts, olives, celery. 4. He may wear a business suit to any informal oc- casion before 6 p.m., an informal luncheon breakfast, etc. 5. Yes, and particularly if she knows they enjoyed it. 6. No. .N-•• • 4-11-9.,0- 4-0-s-9,9-49-4 • o -h++ a.a-e-. What Science Is Doing X-RAY COST REDUCED A new "candid" X-ray camera which can photograph the chest and other parts of the body on a shall filen will be used in U. S. army physical examinations dur- ing the coming draft. The ma- chine reduces the picture through a special fast lens from the usual 14 inch by 17 inch full size neg- ative to one only four inches long. With it ten times the number of men can be examined at the same cost now required with the larger film. LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS A method to liquefy natural gas and store it as a water -col- ored fluid at 250 below zero was reported last week to the Amer- ican Gas Association. The liquid gas means doing away with the huge gas tanks that dot the horizon of great cities. A tank 13 feet square holds as much liquified gas as a big dome of 15,000,000 cubic feet. The liquid gas serves the same heating and cooking purposes as ordinary natural gas, merely being warmed up to flow into the mains in its natural state. CAN DETECT RICKETS A new test to detect rickets even in newborn babies was des- cribed before the annual meet- ing of the American Public Health Association. The disease, due to too little vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, causes malformation of all the bones of the body and results in retardation of growth. This Is Season Of Barn Fires Their Prevention Is Essen- tial—Here's How To Go About Avoiding Them Advice on how to prevent barn fires during threshing time, was given last week by Prof. William C. Blackwood, head of the depart- ment of agriculture engineering at the O.A.C. SPRAY THE STRAW Electric sparks in a threshing machine can cause fire on strik- ing the right ,proportion of dust and air, he said. This danger can be avoided by grounding the ma- chine, said Prof. Blackwood, who also said blower fires can be avoided by spraying about five gallons of water to every ton of straw. This amount of water will not harm the straw, nor cause spontaneous combustion, he said. He thought is a wise practice to insist that men who work in barns or on stacks do not carry matches in their pockets and no one should be allowed to smoke near the barn. towB'u'irling .' ■ CIGARE T�,?A ,ERS v' ,;IfD$IE FII1Ek MAY.; DOUBLE ABOOKLETC FEMALE PMtI Women who suffer painful, irregu- lar periods with nervous, moody spells due to functional cause should find Lydia E.

W. McHenry, Ph. D., of the University of Toronto, " It is, of course, generaliy known that whole-wheat bread is of greater nutritional value than white bread, but the fact has not made the darker colored loaf popular. Dr. McHenry therefore proposes that the value of white flour be raised by adding wheat germ or yeast of high vitamin content. This can be done with- out affecting the color of the resultant loaf, he declares. Special Nutritive Quality The special nutritive quality of whole wheat bread lies in the fact that it retains vitamin and mineral contents which, to a very Iarge extent, are removed by modern milling processes. Vita- min B complex, which is abso- lutely essential to health is re- duced to about one third of its original quality in the course of milling, for instance. A survey of 100 families of low incomes in Toronto, he says, reveals that even the best fed members fall far below the satis- factory margin in their daily in- take of Vitamin B1, a condition which he finds reason to believe is general. Dr. McHenry repeates that the intake of Vitamin Bl would be increased if people ate whole wheat bread, but since they de- cline to do so other methods must be found, and experiments have shown that bread containing five per -cent wheat germ has noticeable effect on growth and nutrition. High Cost of Killing It cost about 75 cents to kill a man in Caesar's time. The price rose to about $3000 per man dur- ing the Napoleonic wars; to $5000 in the American Civil War; and then to $21,000 per man in the World War. Estimates for the present war indicate that it may cost the warring countries not less than $50,000 for each man killed. "It DOES taste good in a pipe!"

"Ever drink coffee?" he inquir- ed with an eye to stirring up in- terest in his line. The colored man allowed he drank a lot of coffee. Fifty cups a day he answered. "Fifty cups a day! Doesn't it keep you awake?" inquired the as- tonished coffee salesman. "Well, it helps," answered the colored man. SAFES Yroteet your ROOKS and CASH from FIRE and THIEVES.
