What Science
Is Doing
CARTILAGE BANKS
Dr. Samuel Cohen, associate
professor of laryngology at the
Graduate School of Medicine,
University of Pennsylvania, dis-
closes that human cartilage now
Is being stored in "banks" for
future use.
Dr. Cohen explains that excess
cartilage removed in operations
previously was discarded but now
is preserved in a solution for
future grafting operations where
additional tissue is required,
"Cartilage banks" are becom-
ing increasingly important as war-
time causes a huge number of
human disfigurements.

LOCATE SHRAPNEL QUICKLY
.A. new quick method of find-
ing bullets and shrapnel frag-
ments in the body by geometry
is announced by the U.S. War De-
partment.
The technique enables a sur-
geon to locate a fragment in any
part of the body within one min-
ute with an X -Ray spotter and a
few quick calculations of dis-
tances. The operation to remove
it is thus greatly simplified.
With the new portable X -Ray
machines now in use, it will be
possible to examine wounded sol-
diers just back of the front line,
give emergency treatment and
send them back to base hospitals
with specific advices as to the lo-
cation of a bullet or piece of
shrapnel.

Q. How can I prevent candles
from dripping?
A. Place the candles in the
refrigerator and le,t them remaie
for several days until, the last
minute before it is necessary to
use them. The candles will then
burn without trickling down the
sides, an the flame will consume
the wax.
Q. How can I relieve sun-
burn?
A. Mix two parts of limewater
to one part of linseed oil; beat
to the consistency of cream and
apply. Vaseline or olive oil are
also good remedies that are often
effective.
Q. How can I repair a vase
. from which a piece has been ae-
eidentaily chipped?
A. Mould a piece of putty into
the ea'vity and paint it the same
shade as the rest of the vase. It
will bo noticed far less than if
left chipped.
Q. How can I remove scorch
spots from cotton fabric?
A. Dip the article into cold
water and hang dripping wet in
the sunshine. As soon as it dries,
wet it again and repeat the pro-
cess again and again. This pro -
sees may take a little time, but
It is a eure that will not in any
way injure the wearing quality
of the material.

To Mechanize
Warriors' Day
Saturday, August 23rd at Can-
adian Nationzl Exhibition will
See Many Mechanized Unite
Participating In the Parade.
Keeping step with the times, the
Canadian National Exhibition re-
ports that it is arranging to have
as many mechanized units for this
year's Warriors' Day parade as
possible. Details are being worked
out, it is stated, to have tank corps,
motorcycle troops, and mechanized
units take a large part in the an.
nnal patriotic panorama.
50,000 To Take Part
Warrior's Day, which this year
takes on special significance, will
be held on Saturday, August 23rd,
and is expected, say C.N.E. officials,
to surpass all former records. Close
to 50,000 persons, it is 'anticipated,
will participate in the parade itself,
and preparations are now in full
swing to accommodate a large num-
ber of patriotic and veterans' org-
anizations, not only, from other ..
parts of Canada, but also from war-
ious points in the United States.
Detachments of Polish and Dutch
troops, now in training in Canada,
as well as units from the Norweg-
ian air training school in Toronto,
will, it is expected, take part, along
with Canadian units in the parade. -
Canadian National

inclusive Canadian National Rail-
ways for the week ending July

pared with $4,725,996 for the
same period of 1940, an increase
of $691,059 or 14.6%.

Bombed Britons
Are Appreciative
Letters Show Enthusiasm For
C.N.E. Pian Whereby Can-
adian Women's Organizations
Working Together at 1941
Exhibition Will Supply Cloth-
es For Victims
Mrs. H. M, Aitken, director of
women's activities at the C.N.E.,
.disclosed recently that a letter
had been sent by the C,N,E.
women's department to the head-
quarters of the Women's Volun-
tary Services in each of the bomb-
ed cities and towns of Great Brit-
ain, telling of the plan whereby
1,700 women from thirty Cana-
dian women's organizations will
work in the six big work rooms
of the Women's Building during
the 1941 Exhibition preparing
clothes for bomb victims in the
Motherland. Each city was asked
to reply making known its indi-
vidual requirements.
Each of these "blitzed" towns
and cities, including Plymouth,
Birmingham, Manchester, Lon-
' don, Glasgow, Dover, Cardiff,
Sheffield, Belfast, Bristol, New-
., castle, Ramsgate, Portsmouth,
Swansea, Liverpool, and South-
hmpton, made prompt reply to the
C.N.E. query, in each case ex-
xi pressing their great appreciation.
From Dover, Plymouth, Liverpool
Mrs. A. M. Beeston, Centre Or-
. ganizer of the W.V.S. in Dover,
for example, writes: "It is kind
of you to suggest sending clothes
to as here in Dover. We shall be
ridelighted to have anything you
send, and we are, indeed, most
grateful to you all. Please thank
'all the organizations who are
:working for us, and tell them the
spirit of Dover is grand."
.Another Centre Organizer,
Mrs. T. B. Davie, of Liverpool,
says: "I am quite sure that you
have no idea of the deep impres-
sion the generosity and sympathy
of the Dominions make on the
people here."
"Thank you very much for your
kind letter," writes Mrs. Madge
Wordley, on behalf of Plymouth.
• "Plymouth has had a bad time,
but the courage of the people is
wonderful and their hearts are
high. Through the Women's Vol-
untary Services, approximately
6,500 people have been clothed
here during the last three months,
and thanks to the wonderful gifts
being received from the Domin-
ions and America, we hope to con-
tinue this help for those who have
suffered such terrible losses. May
the day soon come when the war
with all its distress and misery is
over, and victory is assured for
the Empire, so that we may all go
forward together in creating a
better and a happier world for
the future generations."
Chinese Cooks Tell
Their Successors All
When a Chinese cook leaves his
place of employment, he imparts
the character of his employer in
a novel way, an American return-
ed from the Orient states. Rice
at the bottom of a pan says that
the head of the house is stingy.
The lid lying on the floor beside
the pot means a hard place and
frequent shortage of servants.
The saucepan placed upside
down denotes a hot-tempered mas-
ter, but if laid on one side it
a means the whole family is hard
to please. If the pot is left on
the stove inverted, wages will
come regularly. If the bottom of
i the pot is chalked, it signifies that
breakage is taken out of wages.

Six Famous Artists
Help Spitfire Fund
In an effort to assist in raising
funds for the Jasper -Banff Spit-
fire Fund, six famous artists have
donated original paintings which
are now on display in the rotunda
of Jasper Park Lodge and are
attracting much attention. The
artists who have given their paint-
ings to assist this fund are Roland
Gissing, Grandmaison, Peter
Whyte, Carl Rungus, Belmore
Brown and Roland Jackson.
All artists are well known in
the world's art circles and have
done a great deal of work in the
Canadian Rockies. They special-
ize in scenic subjects, with the
exception of Roland Jackson, who
features wild life and. Grand-
maison, whose ambition is to per-
petuate the life of the rapidly
vanishing North American Indian.
He is looked upon as an outstand-
ing authority on the interpretation
of Indian lore and character.
Quebec Grows Flax
Aiding War Effort
The town of Plessisville, P.Q.,
on the Canadian National Rail*
ways between Victoriaville and
Levis, plays an important part in
the flax producing industry of
the province of Quebec. In
Plessisville are manufactured
many of the specialized machines
required for the harvesting and
the treatment of flax so that it
may be transformed into linen.
War greatly upset sources of sup-
ply of flax fibre and stirred Can-
adian enterprise to a speed-up in
production and manufacture. It
is estimated that approximately
28,000 acres of Quebec land have
been given over to flax growing
this year and mills are ready to
handle the crop. Since the days
of the early settlement flax has
.been grown on many Quebec
farms and spun on the wheel dur-
ing the winter months. Now the
spinning has reached the export
stage and a training school in
Plessisville is graduating machin-
ists, spinners and weavers.
Hen Called In
When Gas Fails
St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Lon-
don, England, recently received
the gift of a set of eggs. It was
suggested when the chickens were
hatched they should be sent to
the nurses' country home to provide
eggA far the winter.
The eggs were put in a gas in-
cubator in the pathological labor-
atory. Then bombs cut off the gas
supply. The eggs were in dan-
ger of going cold.
A resourceful hospital official ap-
peared with a hen in the sidecar
of his motorcycle and the newcom-
er proceeded to hatch out the
eggs.

The manager approached the

"Oh, just fun. When I
