Is it rightto when playing to the dummyy bridge? 3. Is it obligatory that a man help his wife to entertain their guests? 4. As ten per cent is the cor- rect 'amount for tipping in a res- taurant, is it all right to tip five cents when one's meal costs fifty cents? 5. Is it permissible for a girl on a vacation trip to send a pic- ture postcard to a young pian who has not asked hertowrite? 6. When a sudden death oc- curs in a family after wedding invitations have been mailed, should the wedding be postponed? Answers 1. No. Write Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Hall. 2. No, and it is often annoying to players to have onlookers. ' If one wishes to watch a game, ask permission to do so, and keep quiet if such permission Is given. It is the height of bad manners to make any comments on the play. 3. Yes, the man, as host, is equally obligated to assume his part of the entertain- ing, helping his wife in every pos Bible way. 4. No; ten cents is considered the minimum, ten per cent when the bill is one dollar or more. 5. Yes. 6. Not neces- sarily. However, the plans should be changed. Recall all invitations excepting those of the two imme- diate families, and have the wed- ding as quiet as possible. HAVE • tYOUERMD? "I want a dozen of your planes," he ordered; "they must be ready three nights from now." "Impossible!" exclaimed the works manager. "I command!" roared Goering. "The crews will be here at the time stated." The time came, and so did the crews. German efficiency had triumphed; there were the planes. Without loss of time they set out for their target—England. Over London the leading pilot pulled the bomb -release lever— and out dropped three of the :fac- tory's night shift. Proprietor: "You come into my restaurant, you order a glass of vater, you drink it, and you calmly 'vaik out!" Scot: '`What were ye ex.,. pectin' me to do, anon? Stag- ger oot?" Thomas B. Reed, once speaker a of the U.S. House of Representa- tives, was the author of many quips. One day an effort was being made to secure a quorum. Telegrams were sent to the ab- sent members. One man, delayed by a flood which eovered the rail- road lines, wired: "Washout on line; can't come." Reed wired back: "Buy another Shire and come on next train."

A 'workman in London was told by his wife that the sitting - room needed papering. "I'11 do it myself," he said. He sent his wife to the cinema and set to work. When his wife returned, he had finished the job. She looked at the walls. "What are those bumps on the walls?" she asked. "Eh," he answered, "I thought I had something wrong. It didn't look right, somehow. It's the blooming pictures." Mr. Green: "1 am going to enter my dog for the show this year." Mr. Black: "My goodness! Do you think he will win?" Mr. Green: "No, but he will meet some very nice dogs." Daily Ocean Flights Near Pan-American Head Foresees 12 -Hour Non -Stop Trips Across Atlantic Soon Multiple daily schedules requir- ing 12 hours for non-stop contin- ent -to -continent flights may be expected of trans -oceanic air ser- vice within the next two years, • J. T. Trippe, Pan American Air- ways system president, told the annual meeting of the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, England. He delivered the 29th Wilbur Wright memorial lecture. • ew-type clipper planes, de- tails of which Mr. Trippe said he was not at liberty to disclose, are expected to be delivered early next year. These planes should permit cruising speeds of at least '75 to 100 miles an hour greater than those now 'available and would be geared for high-altitude, supercharged operations, he said. Since May, 1939, when Pan American began trans-Atlantic flights, the Clipper planes now in operation have completed 362 'scheduled crossings, flying more than 20,500,000 passenger miles without incident, Mr. Trippe said. The planes have carried 4,685 passengers and 810,740 pounds of mail. The war has brought about "forced -draft technical advance- ment" of trans-Atlantic air ser- vice, he told the society, causing the airline to carry passenger and mail loads as great as 10 times the originally estimated volume of traffic. The war has trans- ferred to the airplane about 30 per cent of the total trans-Atlan- tie mails, he said.

Asthma itself seldom or never kills, Dr. Warren T. Vaughan, of Richmond, Ga., explained at a symposium held by the American Association for the Sutdy of Al- lergy. But morphine may kill, he added anyone affected with asth- ma. _o— ' PLANTS AND SUN Some plants can become so sen- sitive to light that full sunlight will cause them to become pros- trate, and when the light is re- duced they can regain an erect position. Dr. D. G. Langham,, making researches at the Institute for Experimental Agriculture at El Valle, Caracas, Venezuela, re, ported in the current issue of "Science" that a potted plant of teosinte, .a large grass resembling corn, drooped when grown in a greenhouse, but when removed to a shaded locality recovered its erect position. Seeds from this plant produced offspring that had the same sensitivity. —0— SHOT OF SUNSHINE Recovery of a large number of apparently hopeless infection cases after the injection of a shot of "sunshine" directly into the bloodstream was recently report- ed to the American Institute of Homeopathy. In the treatment the patient's own blood was irradiated by expos- ure to strong ultra -violet rays from a mercury vapor lamp in much the same fashion that milk is treated by dairies to give it vitamin D—the sunshine factor. An automatic transfusion pump was used and the patient's circula- tion was not disturbed except for the detour the and bthed through the pump small irrad a- ` tion chamber where it was expos- ed to ultra -violet rays before re- entering the body. They Are All Listed in The 34th Edition of McKim's Dir- ectory Now Off the Press According to the 34th Edition of McKim's Directory of Canadian Publications, just off the press, Canada now has 1,808 publica- tions. Of this total, well over one-third, 666, are published in Ontario. The Province of Que- bec ranks next with 390. Over half of all Canadian publications are weeklies — 984 as compared with 112 dailies and 462 month- lies. 666 In Ontario It is interesting to note that - Canada supports sixty-four for- eign language publications among which there are four dailies in Chinese, two in Japanese and two in Jewish. Foreign publications in Canada are printed in sixteen languages which include Croatian, Czecho-Slovak, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Ice- landic, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Swedish and Ukrainian. McKim's Directory has become practically- a national institution and is widely circulated at home and abroad. The publication sum- marizes exhaustive information on markets, media and populations throughout Canada, constituting an industrial analysis reference of all towns in which publications .. are printed. Enquiries concern- ing this directory should be ad- dressed to any one of the A. Mc- Kim Limited offices in Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Vancouver and in London, England. Ontario Cuts Toll In Meningitis Cases Dr. J. T. Phair, chief medical of- ficer for Ontario, said last month • that early diagnosis, followed by treatment with new chemical drugs and with serum, has held the death rate in cerebrospinal men- ingitis down to 12 per cent., a new ]ow in Ontario history. Since Jan. 5 there have been, 294 cases and 35 deaths, he said. During the first Great War when meningitis was even more preva- lent than now, the death rate ran between 50 and 75 per cent. Dr. Phair said there was no evidence that the incidence of the disease was decreasing, although normally its ;ate is higher in the winter` Months.

I've left the dusk of a winter bed To live in the light again!

BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can 1 wash a small Oriental rug? A. Rub the surface with lather of pure white soap. n rub off as much soap as possible and rinse with -cloths dipped in clear cool water. Dry thoroughly. Q. How can I make a disin- fectant? A. A home-made disinfectant, both efficient and inexpensive, can be made by completely sub- merging a small,quantity (about half a can) of chloride of lime in vinegar. The gases released by this mixture will destroy germs and unpleasant odors. Q. How can I prevent old po- tatoes from turning black when boiling? A. If a teaspoonful of vinegar is added to the water, they will not turn black, in spite of their age. Q. How can I clean brick tiles? A. Washing brick tiles with vinegar makes them look like new. Q. How can I make frosted glass for a bathroom or sleeping porch window? A. Clean the glass with gaso- line. Then cover with white •tis- sue paper which fits exactly and apply clear waterproof varnish thinned 25 per cent with turpen- tine. The varnish soaks through the paper sticking it to the glass, and thus effects a frosted win- dow.
