What Science Is Doing Toronto -New York Air Mail Service GERM KILLER IN SOIL Discovery of a' tremendously powerful germkiller in common soil has been announced by Dr. C.

The other is to give proteins tush to those se persons whose bodies, Illness, fail to absorb the pro- teins from meals. -0- A1R-RAID DEATH CAUSES Peculiar and unexplained ef- fects of air-raid explosions were discussed at a recent meeting of the Royal Academy of Medicine in London. Professor Geoffrey Hadfield reported that in thirty autopsies he had made of air-raid fatalities eight cases showed no external causes of death. In some . cases air passages in the lungs were filled with blood, but there was no sign of rupture of the lungs. There was, however, a high degree of carbon -monoxide saturation in the blood. Profes- sor S. Zuckerman, of Oxford, re- ported that it has been known since the Spanish civil war that blasts of high explosives could kill or injure people without causing external injuries.

Now's Best Time To Sow Potatoes An American was defeated ig- nominiously when he ran for the office of sheriff. He got 55 votes out of a total of 3,500, and the next day he walked down Main Street with two guns hanging from his belt. "You were not elected and you have no right to carry guns," fel- low citizens told him. "Listen folks," he replied, "a man with no more friends than I've got in this country needs to carry guns." "Why sometimes I'm taken for my own daughter." "Nonsense! You don't look old enough to have a daugh- ter so old." 1. When a house guest has permission from her hostess to in- vite a friend to dinner, or some other affair, by whom should the invitation be extended? 2. What should one do when he finds that another p loon's n's opinion is directly opposed 'own? 3. What is considered the best decoration for any room of the house? 4. What is the correct way for a man to lift a soft hat when speaking to a girl?. 5. Isn't it very unwise for a girl to write some words of en- dearment on a photograph of her- self that she is giving to a young man? 6. Shouldn't one be grateful when a friend has pointed out to him a very glaring fault that should be corrected? Answers 1. All i`Cdtations should come from the hostess. 2. Change the subject of conversation. Above all, do not argue. 3. Freshly -cut flowers, attractively arranged will outrank any other decoration. 4. The hat should be lifted by the crown, not the brim. And above all, the hat should be lifted slight- ly, not merely a touch of the brim. 5. Yes; it is very unwise. She may regret it many times hi the future. 6. Yes. But, sad as it seems, resentment instead of gratitude is usually the effect, and very often a lost friendship. Beavers Sabotage Railway Lines Plant Them Before May lath -Later Plantings Result In Lower Yields, Ontario Dept, of Agriculture Tests Show When is the proper time to plant Potatoes? Results of experiments conducted in Middlesex and South Simcoe in- dicate that from the 18th to the 25th of May Is the most desirable time to plant, says the Ont. Dept. of Agriculture. These results are supported by similar finds at the Ontario Agricultural C o 11 e g e, thielph, and the Central Exp&ri- mental Farm, Ottawa. The tests showed that potatoes planted May 18th, yielded 274 bush- els of marketable potatoes per acre. The yield dropped to 248 bushels per acre when planted May 25th, and 224 bushels when planted June 2. Potatoes planted June 10th show- ed an average of only 198 bushels per acre. SPRAYING AND DUSTING The value of proper and consist- ent spraying has also become an established fact. Spray and dust experiments with potatoes at Ridge - town Experimental Farm for eight successive years have shown that plots thoroughly sprayed and dust- ed five times during the growing season, gave an average increased yield of approximately 28 per cent more marketable potatoes than un- sprayed or unclusted plots. There is no staple article of food brought into the average home that has greater appeal to the housewife than good, bright, clean potatoes of a uniform size and free from bruises and disease. The circus and fun fair was visiting a small town, and one old Negro had taken a fancy to the merry-go-round. Round and round he went, never seeming to tire, until all his' money was gone. Then only did he dismount ,to rejoin his wife, who had been watching him with inpatient eyes. said, Ebenezer," she "you sure have spent your money and had a good ride. But where you. been, Ebenezer, where you been?" Wife: "I went in to R bar- gain sale today." Husband: "Did you see anything that looked real cheap?" Wife: "Yes, several men waiting for their wives." "What's the natter, my little man?" asked a sympathetic stran- ger of a small boy whom he saw crying in the street. "Please, sir, my dog's dead," sobbed the boy. "Well," said the man, "you mustn't make such a trouble of it. My grandmother died last week, and I'm not crying." "No," said the boy, "but you didn't bring her up from a pup." Motor Salesman: "Can. I show you something, sir?" Pedestrian: "No, I'm not here to buy anything. But It's ruck a wonderful change to be in the midst of all these cars without" having to dodge them. The Guildhall, London's fam- ous building which suffered so severely in a recent raid, received its name because it was common to all the London Guilds, the associations formed by the mer- chants in different trades to safeguard their interests.

Besides relieving a feed shortage, the early season resulted in the ap- pearance of domestic asparagus, among other vegetables ou provin- cial dinner tables far ahead of the usual time. Vegetables, as a whole, are about a month ahead of recent years and Ontario Department of Ag'ricultur'e officials are of the op- inion that this is the earliest in history such products have been available for sale and consuinp- tion. EARLIEST IN HISTORY? Along with asparagus, rhubarb also macre a record early appear- ance and today domestic rhubarb is competing with the imported variety in Ontario's produce mar- kets. Imported rhubarb usually held the market until after the middle of May when it retired in favor of the home-grown product. Lettuce, carrots and radishes are expected soon, ahead of the usual time. Grain crops in general are three weeks in advance of last year, but, according to the agriculture de- partment, farmers expect a curtail- ment of acreage in grain and cul- tivated crops because of a labor shortage. A department ,official said that the difference in acreage will go into hay and pasturage. FEAR OF FROST In the Niagara peninsula fruit blossoms were two weeks in ad- vance of last year but, crop offi- cials pointed out, there is always a danger of frost so early in the' season and fruit growers actually prefer to see their blooms appear later, Canadian Posters Brighten Shelters Posters of scenes in Canada including those which depict the beauties of Jasper National Park have been freely distributed to brighten the walls of First Aid.
