It was a motley group that turned up at Barrack Square in Pales-
tine to serve the British crown in the present war against Italy and

the fields and some Arabs who were dressed in the native version of
white-collar workers.
How Can I?
Q -
BY ANNE ASHLEY
How can I prevent apples
from wrinkling while baking in
the oven?
A. Slit the skin in three or
four places with a knife before
baking.
Q. How can I treat a dish
thai is cracked, but not entirely
broken?
A. Boil the dish for about 45
minutes in enough sweet milk
to cover it. Any cracks will glue
together and become invisible.
The dish will stand almost as
much ordinary usage as when
ROW.
Q. How can I impart a bril-
liant polish to articles of cut
glass?
A. Add a little turpentine to
the water when cleaning them.
Use about one tablespoon to two
quarts of water. -
'Q. How can I keep rugs from
curling at the corners?
A. Sew a square of card-
board to each corner of the rug,
and this will keep it from curl-
ing. Painting the corners un-
derneath will also hold them
down flat against the floor.
Q. How can I remove a glass
stopper from a bottle, without
breaking it, when every method
seems unavailing?
A. Pour a little glycerine
around the neck of the stopper
and let it stand until it lifts out
easily. This may require a half
hour or sometimes a day or two.

NEW MILK PROCESS
'Three Cornell University profes-
sore announce they have perfected•
a process of de -aerating pasteuriz-
ed milk so that it maintains its
vitamin C content.
By taking air from the liquid,
they said, they made it possible for
a quart of milk to retain vitamin
O content equal to the juice of a
whole orange. Content of vitamin
G in an ordinary quart of pasteur-
ized milk is equal to the juice in
a mike of orange.

HIGH ALTITUDE DIET•
That it is necessary to avoid
large quantities of fats at great
altitudes and to ase more carbo-
hydrates In the rations, even in
V- form or sugar, is the finding of
a scientific expedition which is as-
sembling its data at Tereskol, Rus-
sia. The members occupied a num-
ber of stations of Mount Elbrus,
the highest peak in Europe, to
study the influence of rarified at-
mosphere on the human organism.
Nine scientists from the Kirov Mil-
itary Medical Academy conducted
their research as high as 19,750
feet above sea level. Food rations
for high altitudes were worked out.

"GREASE" FOR ARTHRITIS
A new "greasing" operation for
the repair of hip joints of arth-
ritis sufferers is reported at Phila-
delphia.
The operation, in which the sur-
geon uses Iucite, one of the newest
of synthetic plastic materais found
on ten -cent store counters, consists
of whittling down the ball and
socket joint where the femur, or
large bone of the leg, ties in with
the pelvic bone, and "lubricating"
with the plastic.

YEAST FOR PAIN
A new, powdery substance ex-
tracted from common, household
yeast, which eases pain in wounds
and speeds healing, has been de-
veloped
eveloped in the U, S.
The yeast powder is mixed with
antiseptics to do something wbich
medical science has long sought.
It counteracts the harmful effects
of the antiseptic on the injured tis-
sues, leaving the antiseptic relative,
ly more free to attack the infec-
tious germs which appear in all
wounds.
Force Must Back
Post -War League
Agrees Ottawa Branch of
League of Nations Society in
Canada
Any league, union or associa-
tion of nations which may be
created after the war must have
the backing of force, it was
agreed at a recent meeting of
Ottawa Branch of the League of
Nations Society in Canada.
"There has been a swing away
from the idea that enlightened
public opinion is sufficient as an
international sanction," said J.
M. McQueen, one of the speak-
ers. Mrs. Alexander Ferguson
said that "We will have to accept
the idea that public opinion is
not enough."
Senator Raoul Dandurand,
Government leader in the Sen-
ate, sent a message to the meet-
ing expressing hope that any
draft manifesto prepared by the
society would be circulated to
the general membership before
final adoption.-
"I
doption:"I would like very much to
study it because of its paramount
importance," he said.

6. Is it all right to answer e

Answers
1. Yes. One should strive to

often difficult when the speaker
is an egotist, or describing in de-
tail his last operation. 2. It is
better not, unless the customer
asks the direct question, 3. Yes.
4. Yes, unless you are well ac-
quainted with those present. La
Bruyere says, "Never risk a joke,
even the least offensive in its na-

A commercial traveller at a

The waiter who served him
brought three.
"Here," said the traveller, "why
have you brought me three eggs?
I only ordered two."
"Yes, sir," said the waiter,
smiling. "I know you ordered
two but I bought three because
I felt one of them might fail you."
"The best way to fight a
woman is with your hat."
"How?"
"Grab it and run."

Jasper Park Set
For Snow Sports
k 1 Slopes of Cattadien
Rockies Offer ideal Ground
For A Winter Holiday
Skiers who go west for their
winter sports say It's es good as
surf -riding to race along the e1!cl
slopes of Jasper National Park to
the Canadian Rockies, according to •
0, K. Howard, manager of the Tour-
ist Bureau, Oane Tian National Rail-
ways. The snow is fast --- just made
for skiers — and there are miles
and miles of it in the midst of
thrilling mountain scenery, he said,

Bring Skates, Too
With no restrictions on American
citizens travelling to and within
Canada and with favorable rates
of exchange, one of the best sports
seasons in years is now under way,
Mr. Howard said.
"Some of the continent's finest
skiing territories radiate from Jas-
per village, . lberta," stated Mr.
Howard, "where up to five months
of the year powder snow condi-
tions, so desirable or good siding,
may be relied upon." Take the
Maligne Lake territory, for in-
stance, he said: On arrival at Jas-
per station in the early afternoon,
skiers travel by motor car to Medi-
cine Lake, transfer to snowmobile
for a short trip across the lake,
then by team and sleigh to Maligne
Lake chalet and be there in time
for evening dinner. "There is al -
'ways plenty of snow in this nigh
country, kept fresh by periodic
falls of light powder snow" he stat-
ed, "and a competent ski instruc-
tor is in residepce at Maligne Lake
chalet."
Skiers should include in their
equipment a pair of skates, as Mal-
igns Lake is also the ideal winter
setting for skating, stated Mr. How-
ard. "Skiers at the chalet may
round out their day's recreation
by indulging in this enjoyable
sport for an hour or so in the even-
ing," he said.
Correct Size Of
Furnace Is Vital
If Unit Too Small Home
Heating Costs Move Upward
Wray does a furnace that is too
small for the house it's in con-
sume more fuel than one of pro-
per size?
Heating engineers say it is
literally true that an inadequate
'furnace will burn more coal than
a larger one that will do a better
heating job. The inadequate
furnace also is more liable to re-
quire repairs.
WASTE HEAT UP CHIMNEY
The small furnace must "work"
harder trying to heat the home.
As a result the firepot and grates
burn out sooner and must be re-
placed.
When a furnace is kept too hot
the castings tend to burn out and
the metal slowly changes to iron
cinder. After that it will no trans-
mit heat as rapidly as one with
"live" metal. That means shovel-
ing in more and more coal and
getting less heat.
Each square inch of heating
surface gives off just so much
heat. If there aren't enough
square inches, not enough heat
-'can be radiated to heat the home.
The waste heat just goes up the
chimney.
An acre of ground can, it is
estimated, provide sufficient veg-
etables for forty people.

How To Prevent
Moulds in Food
Mould growth in foods is not
usually dangerous. in many cases
the formation of mould in food in-
creases its palatability. For ex-
ample, some kinds of cheese, such
as Roquefort, Limburger, Brie and
Camembert, are eaten only after
extensive mould growth has taken
place. The characteristic flavour
and smell of t' .•se cheeses are due
to the substances formed by the
particular species of mould.
What are moulds? TI'^y are ,
groups of "ny plants so small that
the individual structures can be
seen only with the aid of a micro-
scope, They develop from spores
which are similar to the seeds of
the higher plants. The spore is the
reproducti- - element of one of the
lower organisms or plants.
Different Types
The commoner moulds go by the
names of Mucor, Penicillium or As-
pergillus. The white or slightly
woolly patches seen on the surface
of meat in cold storage is due to
a mould or fungus 'known as the
sporotrichum carnis.
The spores or seeds of moulds
ere hard to kill; they can with-
stand unfavourable conditions for
days and when given favourable
conditions such as food, a temper-
ature neither too hot nor too cold,
moisture and in some cases oxy-
gen, will live for a long time.
Mould on top of jams, jellies and
preserves is unsightly, but not
harmful and the same is true of
moulds on bread and other foods.
Mould growth may be. prevented.
by maintaining foods at medium
temperatures, and by keeping them
free from moisture. Homemade
sausage may be kept from mould-
ing by dipping the sausage in melt-
ed fat. When cool, the fat forms
an impervious coating and resists
the growth of mould.
World's Coldest Place
Soviet scientists have just dis-
covered that the coldest spot in
the world is neither the North nor
South Pole. That unenviable dis-
tinction, they claim, belongs to
0i-Mekon, in Siberia. It is said
that water thrown from a buck-
et out of a first -floor window
freezes before reaching the
ground. But the inhabitants
don't mind at all; in fact they
complain of the "fustiness" in
Moscow!
At the other extreme is Death
Valley, California, where the
temperature of 134 degress Fa-
hrenheit was recently recorded.
This terrific heat is caused by the
valley being surrounded by rocks,
which hold the heat as the sun
beats down, and radiate it, mak-
ing Death Valley the most unin-
viting spot in the world. There
is no vegetation in the valley,
and no one has ever been known
to live there.

Wealthy British
Buy Diamonds
Riches Locked Up In Gem(
For the Duration
Much of Britain's wealth lies
idle in underground vaults when
it should be invested in war say-
ings,
ayings, according to one of London's
foremost diamond merchants.
The. anxiety of many wealthy
people to lock up their riches for
the duration has resulted in a dia-
mond boom, such as has neve?
bean experienced before at Hatton
Garden, mecca of this internation-
al "currency." Since the Govern-
ment banned the exportation o3
big jewelry, diamonds have been
in great demand by those who want
to salt away their wealth.
In the vaults of one London safe
deposit company, which was bomb-
ed recently, diamonds valued at
many millions of dollars had been
lodged. The vaults and safes hous-
ing this vast fortune were found
intact after the debris and wreck-
age
reckage had been oleared away.
