MGO/TERRANEAN TC
England and Turkey signed a military alliance a year ago which
last week was about to be put to the supreme test. It obligated them
to fight side by side against anyone — except Russia — who disturbed
the peace of the Balkans. So fan: it had affected none of Turkey's other
relations; she still was allied with Russia and even officially friendly
with Germany. This "splendid isolation" from the quarrels of the world
was expected to be rudely shattered any day as Italy penetrated Greece
and Hitler hinted of giving the signal for his troops to march through
Bulgaria toward Constantinople (Istanbul).
W Can I?

Q. How can I utilize the short
ends of candles?
A The short ends of candles
may be whittled over a floor to
be waxed for dancing; or shaved
and added to the water in which
clothes are boiled (paraffin whit-
ens clothes and helps remove
dirt); or shaved and the shavings
enclosed in a muslin bag with
which to sinew% the iron; or
melted, the wicks removed, and
the paraffin used for sealing
jams and jellies.
Q. How can I best treat my
hands after dishwashing, to keep
them soft and white?
A. Drop a little lemon juice
into the palms and rub well over
the hands. This will keep the
skin soft and white, and will also
remove ,such odors' as fish and
onion.
Q. How can I prevent black"
spots from appearing on boiled
potatoes?
A. Add a teaspoonful of vine-
gar to the water while the po-
tatoes are boiling.
P. How can I restore the
lustre of velvet?
A. Velvet can be thoroughly
steamed by hanging the article
in the bathroom and turning on
the hot water in the tub until
the room steams, Let it remain
for an hour or two. Then hang
the garment outside to dry thor-
oughly. This method will restore
the lustre beautifully.

YOU HEARD?
As the old farmer stood at his
garden gate a travelling salesman
in radios pulled up his car.
. "Good -morning, sir!" he be-
gan brightly. "Can I,,ihterest you
lin a—"
"Eh?" said the farmer. "I can't
'ear yer."
"Are you interested in radio?"
asked the salesman, louder.
"Speak up, man!"
"Would you like to inspect our
new radio
model?"
screamed ed the
Palesman,
"No. thank ye" said the old
man; "we got a 'armonyurn."
Tour miles farther on he came
to a cottage, and knocked at the
door.
"Pardon nee, madam," he be-
gan. "I have here-"
"Not interested!" snapped the
woman, p "Besides, I 'Bard you
the first tiine,"

Rifle Instructor; "Do you

New Recruit: "No, sir. I'm
a `stranger in this district."
Two laborers were working on
a very tall block of apartment
buildings. Suddenly the man. at
the top of the ladder called to his
mate at the bottom:
"I say, Jim, come up here a
minute and listen."
His mate slowly climbed the
ladder and at last, quite out of
breath, reached the top.
"I can't hear anything," he
said after listening intently for a
while.
"No," said the other "Ain't it
quiet!"
Junior: "Dad, what's the
•plural of 'whim'?"
Dad: "Women."
A young woman whose beauty
is equal to her bluntness in con-
versation was visiting a house
where other guests were assem-
bled, among them the eldest son
of a wealthy manufacturer. The
talk turned on matrimonial
squabbles. Said the young man:
"I hold that the thing for the
husband to do is to begin as he
intends to go on. Suppose the
question was one of smoking. - I
would at once show my intentions
by lighting a cigar, thus settling
the question for ever."
"And I," said the young wo-
man, "would at once knock it out
of your mouth."
"Do you know," rejoined the
young man, thoughtfully, "I
don't think you would be there."
"Bragson talks a great
deal about his family tree."
"Yes, a family tree is
much like other trees; the
smallest twigs do the most
rustling."
Our Curious Tongue
When the English tongue we
speak
Why is break not rhymed with
freak?
Will you tell nie why it's true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the fashioner of verse .
Cannot cap his horse with worse?
Beard sounds not the same as
heard,
Cord is different from word,
Cow is cow, but low is low,
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose and dose and lose,
And of goose and also choose
Think of comb and tomb and
bomb,
Doll and roll and home and some;
And since pay is rhymed with
say,
Why clot paid and said, I pray?
We have blood and food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like
could
Wherefore done, but gone and
lone ?
Is there any reason known?
Coal production in Canada
during the first eight months of
1940 amounted to 10,800,000
tons compared with 9,200,000
tons in the eerrecpondin,g period
of 1989.

BOMBARPI'NG CANCER '
At the opening meeting of the
U, S. National Academy of Scienc-
es, three research workers of Col-
umbia University, New "York, de-
scribed how they had achieved up
to 50 per cent. death of cancer
growths. They first infected lith-
ium and Boron, two harmless chem-
icals; in and around the cells ttiild
then bombarded them with neu-
trons, atomic partioloa which have
no electric charge. The effect 10

GERMS NEED GOOD DIETS
Persons living on poor diets are
resistant to some infections be-
cause they cannot feed the disease
germs properly.
Dr. Stuart Mudd of the Univers-
ity of Pennsylvania declared that
the streptococcus germ., one of the
most vi.rulent and widespread of
all forms of bacteria, Is extremely
exacting in its food requirements.
The bug causes erysipelas, the
group of disease's known as blood
poisoning, cllildbed fever, intestinal
infections, some forms of diph-
theria and one form of pneumonia,
meningitis, rheumatism, and a num-
ber of other diseases.

EAT FOR $1.80 YEARLY
Two formulae, either of which
reportedly would feed a person
properly at a yearly cost of $1.80,
soon may be offered to the United
States Government.
Dr. Robert S. Harris of Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology,
said the preparations, developed
by .himself and other technology
biochemists, virtually 'were com-
plete foods in themselves.

Babies Need Open
Air And Sunshine
Sunshine is necessary for the
normal growth of all infants, par-
ticularly for the prevention of rick-
ets. The infants should be kept
In the open air and sunshine when-
ever possible. In the winter time
he should be placed outside in
the sunshine each day between
the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. It
is possible to place so that his eyes
will be kept away from the direct
rays of the sun. Sun baths should
be given daily whenever possible.
As the sun's rays are not effective
through ordinary window glass, the
infant may, in cool weather, be
placed in •front of a window which
is opeu or in which a wooden frame
covered with cellophane has been
inserted. On mild days he niay be
taken out of doors. The clothing
should be gradually removed, ex-
posing the hands and feet to the
sun the first day for 15 minutes,
then arms and legs the second day,
and proceeding each clay in this
manner until the child's whole body
is exposed to the sun's rays.
Dont's For Baby
Don't omit giving plain water
without sugar between feedings;
don't take the baby to a house
where there is sickness; don't al-
low anyone who is sick to come
near the baby; don't feed the baby
from a spoon or cup that has been
used by any other person without
first washing it thoroughly.
Remember, also, fond mothers,
that the baby should not be play-
ed with just after it has been fed;
it should never be kissed on the
mouth; don't let the baby use ;
pacifier or "comfort"or suck on an
empty bottle; don't take the baby
out at 'night; don't test the heat
of the baby's food by putting the
nipple in your own mouth; don't
use a baby walker; babies should
not be encouraged to walk or strand
until they are ready for it; don't
forget to give the baby cod liver
oil and orange juice. Don't let flies
get on the baby or anything belong-
ing to him; don't neglect diarrhoea,
but •consult a doctor immediately;
don't give the baby tea, coffee,
candy, cakes or tastes from the
table.

Materials For
Minor Repairs
Have Necessary Items Ready
at Hand to Aid Work en
Home
Minor defects in a house fre-
quently grow into major repair
items for one of two reasons—
neglect, or Jack of the right ma-
terials readily available to make
the repairs.
The simplest way to cure these
minor defects, and avoid a large
bill for repairs, is to have a vagi«
ety of materials frequently re-
quired. These are suggested:
(1) Assortment of brass
screws, steel screws, small bolts
and nuts and nails.
(2) Can of linseed oil, tur-
pentine, white lead, paint of vari-
ous colors, varnish, shellac and an
assortment of brushes, as well as
a can of paint and varnish re-
mover.
(3) A supply of crack -filling
materials and patching cements;
elastic roofing cement, bag of
Portland cement and sand to go
with it; plaster of Paris, glue
and such tool as putty knife,
trowel and wire brushes.
(4) A variety of bits of
wood to match parts of the
house, such as moldings, floor
boards, trim. and similar pieces.
(5) A few bricks, tiles, roof-
ing paper or shingles.
C. N. R. Man Promoted
The new Assistant General
Freight Traffic Manager, Mon-
treal, John Pullen, is a graduate
of McGill University, and served
in the last war, with the Black
Watch Regiment of Montreal. His
railway service dates from Sep-
tember 1913, and he has held
various positions (including that
of Freight Traffic Manager, Cen-
tral Region.)
The PERFECT Chewing Tobacco
(6) Odds and ends like bell
wire, electric light wire, washers,
sash cord, valve parts.
('7) A set of tools, including
hammer, saw, screw driver, drill,
pliers, wrench, wire cutters, tin
shears, plane, draw knife, file,
sandpaper and paint scraper.
This list is not complete, but
it includes practically all that is
necessary for "first aid" to the
house. When such materials are
on hand, the chances are greater
that the small job will be done
soon and won't be postponed or
neglected altogether.
