This challenging question is asked in an editorial in the our - rent issue of the magazipa "Health", a Canadian publica- tion. "Why is the health and welfare of the average young man and Boman not an essential objective in peace -tine as well as in war- time?" the editorial asks. Wlien the suggestion was made Si1I peace time to examine the young men of the nation to de - tontine their fitness or their un- rr fiti. "im- possible". the.r was raised m Cy possible". Today, with a war on, the edi- torial states, 'Poetical examiXne- tdon of Candaa's young men is proc-eeding apaee. Every doctor Tin Canada is a medical examiner o he paid by the government, Maintains 'Health Services. What was once eonsldered im- possible is note being done, the editorial says. The editorial goes on: "When one considers that in war the fit are sacrifices on the altars of Mars and the unfit left at home a situation is discovered which should demand the attention of all political leaders." The editorial commends a re- cent statement of Hon. Harold Kirby, Minister of Health for On- tario, who called attention to the importance of a concerted health program if Canada is to prose- cute the war efficiently. "One wishes that other minis- ters of health might present the case with equal vigor", states the editorial. 'This journal is of the opinion that if health conserva- tion is logical in peace -time it is essential in war -time, and health service is war service. If civilian morale is to be kept at a high revel all health services must be maintained and indeed im.prove(l. Education of the public to this end should proceed forthwith." Modern Etiquette BY ROBE`: 1 A LEE 1. When a husband and wife are calling on friends, which one should suggest leaving? 2. Isn't it poor manners for a person to take hold of another person while talking to hint? 3.. .Should one finish a sent- ence for another person, or sup- ply a word, when this person seems to grope for the right phrase or ward? 4. "What is the proper way for :a hostess to serve tea? 5.. When in company and a person is seized with a fit of coughing, .ehould be apologize? - 6. What kind of coat should a man wear to the theatre., in the evening'? .Answers 1.. Either •one may •cio so by merely asking th.e other, "Don't you think we had better be leav- ing?" 2. Yea. The habit of touching, nudging, or patting, is frequently very annoying. 3. No. 4. The Hostess should remain seated while pouring the tea, then hand the culls, saucers, atad plates to the guests. They may help themselves to sugar, cream, and lemon, as well as to sand- wiches and cakes. 5. Ne. When the coughing spell has ceased one array say "I am sorry." 6. A tuxedo. Bees As Messengers The Chinese have made use of the knowledge that as long as the same queen bee rules the hive it can be moved a distance of miles, and all the bees will return to it. This has led to the introduction of the "bee mail," in areas oc- cupied by the enemy. With the help of microphotography, plans and messages can be transcribed on tiny pieces of paper and sent through enemy territory attached to the leg or wing of a bee. The message or plan is photographed and reduced in size, and when it gets to its destination is decipher- ed with the aid of a microscope. "Bee mail" is highly successful, for these insects travel at from thirty to forty miles an hour and, being almost invisible, are far safer than pigeons.

LIGHT TURNS CORNERS American scientific wizardry which produced a glass -like sub- stance to make light turn corners is declared to be saving the lives of thousands of Londoners dur- ing the current night bombings. The material, made out of coal, water and air, is synthetic glasst known technically as a methyl methacyrlate resin and commer- cially as Curvlite, and has comp into wide use in surgical opera- tions. Light at one end of a retractor used to pull open surgical incis- ions is carried around the bend of the instrument and directly into the operating field. VACCINATING BRAIN An experiment in vaccinating the brain against infantile par- alysis is announced to the U. S; -National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis, Inc. The brain is the site of this disease, and damage to brain nerve cells the cause of paralysis. The new method of possible immunizing, is now being tried on monkeys. Hero of "Jervis Bay" The name of Captain Fogarty Fegen will take a prominent place among British naval heroes following his heroic action in sacrificing the armed merchant cruiser Jervis Bay to the night of a powerful German raider su that a convoy might slip away to safety. Captain Fegen directed the Jervis Bay in an attack on the raider and held the German ship at- bay for two hours, enab- ling the majority of ships in the convoy to break formation and escape. t,Vith his arta almost severed and suffering from mul- tiple wounds, Capt. Fegen direct- ed the attack until his ship plung- ed to the bottom. Express Agents Are Transferred The appointment of J. 4.. Kinghorn as express agent at Fort Erie, Ont., vice F.

Richard Byrd and his associates returning through Canada from an exploration jour- eey within the Arctic Circle. There was a protest from the Ad- miral's car, they wanted "some heat", Immediately, there was a demand that the porter get busy, but that functionary was the most amazed man on the train. "Boss," he exclaimed to Mr. Kearney, "That carload of gentle." men have come all the way from. the North Pole and I've been do- ing everything possible to keep that car cool for them." HAVE - YOU HEARD? It was necessary for taxation purposes to decide on which side of the Canadian and United States border a farm which an eldely lady had just purchased, actually lay. Surveyors finally announced that the farm was on the American side of the border. The lady smiled with relief. "I'm glad to know that," she said. "I've heard that winters in Canada are terribly severe." If there's a. newer or bet- 1.er way of getting catsup out of a bottle than by spanking it on the bottom then we'd like to know of it. —Peterborough Examiner. The Negro parson had been preaching about salvation, and concluded by saying that it was free as water. Immediately after the sermon came the collection. "But, parson," objected one'of the congregation. "I thought you said salvation was • free like water." "So it is, brother, so it is," replied the preacher, "and so is water. We only charge for pip- ing it to you." Father: "Now try and leave the party at a reason- able hour. No more of this coming home with the milk- man, young lady." Daughter:. "Why, dad, of course not. He won't be there." "it DOES taste good ini s pipe HANDY SEAL-TiGHT POUCH - 1$¢ 1/2-L13.

The next day she was worried by a continual ringing of the bell. At last, when ;10 one ans- wered the door, she opened it herself and found her servant on the step. "Whatever are you doing, Li?" she asked. "Yesterday you foulee ane, now I foolee you," was the reply. "Wouldn't you like to be so fatuous that you had your face on a thousand -dollar bill?" "No, but I'd like to be lucky enough to get my hands on one."
