PERCENT OF NORMAL TIRE MILEAGE

*Recommended Air Pressures vary according to the size of tire
and weight of car. 30 lbs. is used for illustrative purposes.
)underinflated tires are responsible for more wasted tread rubber
than Is any other single cause. To assist motorists in conservation
of rubber for national defense needs, tire development engineers of
The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company have compiled the above data
to show that maximum wear can only be assured when tires are
kept properly inflated et all times. If a tire with 30 pounds of
recommended pressure is run at 27 pounds pressure (10 per cent
underinflation), almost one-fourth of normal tread mileage is sacri-
ficed. A tire that is 9 pounds underinflated wastes one-half of the
tread rubber.
How Can I?
BY ANNE ASHLEY
BY ANNE ASHLEY
Q. How can I remove oil stains
From a carpet?
A. The best way to remove
these stains is to dampen a cloth
with gasoline and begin rubbing
around the edge of the stain,
working towards the middle and
°hanging to a clean portion of the
rug as one part becomes soiled.
Q. What can I do if the white
of egg refuses to beat stiff?
A. Add a teaspoonful of cold
seater and a pinch of salt. Add-
ing a pinch of baking powder
while beating will also help. makes
it more fluffy, and prevents fall-
ing if it must stand for a while
after beating.
Q. How can I prevent my white
clothes from turning yellow?
A. Borax added to the water
will bleach clothes and also pre-
vent them from turning yellow.
Q. What is the most efficient
method of drying a sweater after
'washing, so that it will not get
out of shape?
A. Make a hammock of a piece
of mosquito netting or other thin
material. Hang this hammock in
the sun and lay the sweater on
it. Be sure that the hammock
is drawn out flat sa the sweater
la not doubled up.
Q. How can 1 clean ' soiled
candles?
A. Wipe over the soiled candles

BY ROBERTA LEE
1. If you have been invited to
the home of a friend and through
oversight you have not been in-
troduced to some of the other
guests, should you call this to the
hostess' attention?
2. What does a woman do with
her gloves at a formal banquet,
turn them back or remove them?
3. May a man use perfumed
stationery?
4. Should one ever turn down
the corner of a book to mark the
page if the book is a borrowed
one?
5. When dinner dancing in a
hotel should a girl check her
wrap or leave it over the back
of her chair?
6. Should soft-boiled eggs be
eaten with a spoon?
ANSWERS
1. No; it is much better to save
the hostess from embarrassment
by joining in the conversaiton and
laughter, and it is quite likely
that you will soon be talking to
everyone present.
2. Remove the gloves and place
them in the lap.
3. No; women only use perfum-
ed stationery and even then the
scent should be very faint.
4. No; use a book -mark or any-
thing that will avoid damaging
the book.
5. She may leave it on the back
of her chair if she wishes.
6. Yes; if served in an egg
oup they may be eaten from the
shell with the spoon; or if you
wish, break the egg in two, scoop
the contents out into an egg-
cup and eat with a spoon.

Mobile Kitchens
From Argentin
Forty thousand non -British rail -
workers in Argentina -most' of
them Italians or of Italian origin -
have given a remarkable expres-
sion to their sympathy with the
people of Great Britain under war
conditions. They have presented
the British government with a
fleet of 15 mobile kitchens and
three mobile canteens fully equip-
ped to serve thousands of hot
meals and hot drinks at shortest
notice in any emergency. Approp-
aiately these vehicles are to be
allotted to railway centres and the
ports and docks which handle the
bulk of the Argentine trade. The
gifts, for which £7,000 was raised,
were formally presented to Mr.
'Torbert Morrison, Minister for
Home Security, by the Argentine
ambassador, Dr. T. A. Le Breton.

SUGAR FROM CARROTS
Tho latest discovery by scinet-
lsts at the Long Ashton Research
Station, near Bristol, England, is
that sugar can be made from car-
rots.
Treated by the process theY
have evolved, carrots yield a pow-
der rich In vitamin A (the anti-
night blindness vitainin), which
will be used for malting soup.cluick-
ly in mobile canteens, It needs only
the addition of hot water.
The other product is a "treacle"
'which has a high sugar -content.
The possibilities of this have yet
to be developed.
"It smells like butterscotch, is
very sweet -the carrot flavor has
almost entirely disappeared -and
is high in sugar content, but low
in acid," said Mr. Vernon L. S.
Charley, who is in charge of the
fruit production section of the sta-
tion.
"EMBALM" FURNITURE
Farmers and ' woodland owners
will have cause for rejoicing if
experiments now under way at the
Harvard Forest, Mass., prove suc-
cessful.
Experts are testing certain prep-
arations for the preservation of
wood. The process is expected to
be successful with ' both hard-
woods and conifers.
Through a kind of embalming
method, preservatives are forced
into fence posts, log cabin walls
and rustic furniture which
keep the wood from decaying.
SCREAMS AWAY FOG
For years scientists have tried
to disperse fog without any real
suocess. All past experiments have
been with chemical sprays or elec-
trical rays, and according to recent
reports a spray method is even now
being tried out in America The a
most promising of all are the ex-
periments carried out by a metal-
lurgist named H. W. St. Clair, who
invented a device which disperses
fog by sound. He claims that the
sound 'waves when tuned in to the.
frequency of the fog waves scream
them out of existence. At present
the device is being used only in
smelting furnaces to disperse
smoke which otherwise goes up the
chimney, and to recover the metal
particles in the smoke.
Fighting Fires
By Photography
Photography is the Forest Ser-
vice's latest weapon in fighting
forest fires in Montana.
Aerial photographs are taken.
to show the fire scene and the
typogrophy of near -by lands.
These are developed and print-
ed and are dropped by parachute
to the fire boss who is directing
the fire -fighting effort. It en-
abes him to see by what means
the flames may best be checked.
In a recent experiment, pictures
were dropped to the fire boss 18
minutes after they had been
taken.
Russ Women Help
Break City's Siege
Pravda, organ of the Commun-

men and women of one Russian.
city broke a siege after Nazi
tanks had reached its outskirts,
cut off its highways and railroads
and encircled it.
Factories, offices and shops
poured out men and woolen who
went to the front lines with or-
ders they must not retreat.
In a typical section of the line,
a Red army man, a bookkeeper,
a mechanic, a militiaman and a ,
sailor stood side by side while a
girl nearby held a rifle at a para.-
pet
ara-pet ready to resist any attack.
(Previously, Soviet authorities
have explained that Soviet wo-
men at the front were engaged
in cooking, nursing and other
duties, but did not fight.)

Prince of W les
"Almost" Newest
Three New British Warships
To Be Put Into Service Thla
Fzll
Three British super -battleships,
the Jellicoe, Beattie and Duke of
York will be put into service in
the autumn, the 11130 said recently.
The ships will be of the George
V class, of which the Prince of
Wales and the George V already
are commissioned.
Observers in London believed
that at least one of these units
was on the verge of completion,
since Prime Minister Churchill, in
his broadcast, spoke of the Prince
of Wales as "almost the newest"
British battleship. She had been
regarded hitherto as the newest.
The George V was disclosed to
have been completed last winter
when she suddenly arrived off the
'United States coast bringing Vis-
count Halifax, then newly named
ambassador to Washington.
Launched February 21, 1939, she
displaces 35,000 tons, and is con-
sidered, with the Prince of Wales,
to be the most up-to-date battle-
ship afloat. She has enhanced arm-
or defence against air attack In-
cluding an improved distribution
of deck and side armor and an im-
proved system of under -water pro-
tection.
The Prince of Wales first came
Into .the news during the great
hunt for the Bismarck, her guns
pounding the giant Nazi battleship
before the coup de grace was ad-
ministered by torpedoes.
The )Duke of York was launch -
:ed September 16, 1939, and is be-
lieved to be just about complete.
:The. Beatty was Iaunched two
months later, November 11, 1939,
and the Jellicoe, on an undisclos-
ed date in 1940.
British Prisoners
''.eceive Packages
:Every British Prisoner of
War Receives at Least One
Parcel Each Week
The packages of mercy -gifts of
*food, clothing, tobacco, soap and
books -are moving smoothly to
the millions left in prison by war
in the West.
-British prisoners in Germany did
4 rte fare well for a long while, be-
cause of -transport difficulties across
Spain,. Before the Geneva Red
'Cross was able to negotiate with
Portugal and Spain for better
•transport, it bought 282 tons of
food` 'on the continent to send to
riitish prisoners' camps,
%;ter in the year negotiations
as Idieteri enabled packager to be
shipped to Mediterranean ports,
thus -avoiding the uncertain rail
trip across Spain, Even now, it
usually takes about four months
before packages from. Canada
reach the camps.

Where To Send
Airmen's Gifts
Addresses of the organizations
to which contributions for smokes
and comforts for personnel of the
R.C.A.F. overseas should be sent
were announced recently by the
Department of Public Relations
at R.C.A.F. Headquarters, Ot-
tawa.
In the case of money gifts, they
should be sent to the secretary of
the R.C.A.F. Benevolent Fund,
Air Force Headquarters, Ottawa.
Those wishing to make dona-
tions in kind should arrange with
their tobacconists to address the
packages direct to the Air Officer
Commanding, R.C.A.F. Head-
quarters in Great Britain, (R.C.-
A.F. Overseas).
In the first case, all cash re-
ceived will be deposited in a spe-
cial account until such time as
enough has accumulated to ppr-
chase a quantity of cigarettes
large enough for an issue to be
made to airmen outside of Can-
ada.
New Ambulance
Has High Speed
A new motorcycle ambulance
capable of speeding wounded sol-
diers 90 miles an hour from the
front lines to field hospitals has
been developed for the British
American ambulance corps.
The new vehicle, built by the
William E. Detlor Company, of
Detroit, has a seven -foot sidecar
for the patient and seat space for
a medical attendant as well as
the driver.
An unusual feature was the
installation of springs synchron-
ized with the patient's heartbeat
to avoid increasing fever.
He is the happiest, be he king
or peasant, who finds peace in
his home. -Goethe.
His Last Wish
Tho Moscow radio, with its best
button -nose deadpan, reported a
short time ago that the follow-
ing story was current among
German soldiers:
Adolf Hitler, visiting the Eas-
tern Front, asked a soldier what
his last wish would be if a Rus-
sian shell should land near him.
"I would wish," the soldier
answered, "that my Fuhrer stood
beside me."
100 Trained Mice
Keep Their Owner
Until recently, Claude Whitney
was concerned primarily with his
job as a Detroit automobile
worker.
His health failed. He went to
California. Now he's interested
in his 100 trained )nice.
They are of all colors -white,
chocolate brown, fox red, black,
mauve, champagne, orange and
white, and smoke blue -for it was
from breeding mice for varied
colors that Whitney's circus de-
veloped.
Jitterbug mice live in a cage
with a raised floor, where they
skip about endlessly. Others walk
a tight rope or perform on spin-
ning pie plates.
Whitney's wife, Vera, didn't
like the house circus idea at first.
Now she's enthusiastic.
Whitney is planning to build
an automobile trailer to transport
his circus to children's hospitals
for free performances.
