King Boris of Bulgaria, pictured, left, inspecting troops, is seen
as the latest "junior partner" of the Axis nations. European reports
say Russo -Bulgarian friction, plus Nazi bait of rich post-war terri-
torial rewards, have swung the Balkan nation to Hitler's side.

THE "SULFA" FAMILY
Germ -killing "Sulfa" family, sul-
fanilamide, sulfapyridine, sulfa-
thiazole, which combat, with am-
azing success, 32 types of germs
that produce pneumonia and kill
100,000 Americans a year, are coke
b3 -products. New members of the
sulfa family are sulfathiazole and
sulfametliylthiazole mortal enemies
of dreaded staphylococ.us infec-
tion of blood stream, fatal in 994''
of all known cases. When the new
sulfas were put to work experi-
mentally, they cut the mortality
rate to 205'. Now sulfaguanidine,
recently announced, joins the sul-
fa family.

A new remedy for burns, promis-
ing speedier healing and a reduc-
tion of scar tissue, was disclosed
last fortnight in the Bulletin of
the Johns Hopkins Hospital by
Dr. Kenneth L. Pickrell, resident
surgeon of the Baltimore institu-
tion. It is a preparation of sulfa-
diazine, one of the new sulfa drugs.
The method: a severely burned
patient is placed on sterile sheets,
sprayed with the solution every
hour, and kept warm. The fre-
quency of spraying is reduced an
hour each day. In four days a thin
scab is formed, which begins to
separate from the new skin in ten
days. The solution is mild enough
to be used on the eyes, and It
penetrates the burned area so rap-
idly that much of the pain is allay-
ed at once.
Johns Hopkins surgeons have
been so impressed by the solution
that it is now being used on all
burn patients.

Q. How can I drill a hole into
the bottom or side of a heavy
china vase which I wish to con-
vert into a lamp?
A. Use an ordinary twist
drill. The drill should be sharp
and have a low pitch. The china
should be kept wet with turpen-
tine.
Q. How can I restore chiffon
flat has acquired a crumpled and
-ifeless appearance?
A. Hang it in the bathroom
and let the bathroom fill with
steam. After a few minutes of
this, the chiffon can be taken
into the open air where it will
return to its bright freshened con-
dition.
Q. How can I remedy the lock
of a closet door in which the key
refuses to work smoothly?
A. Dip the key into machine
oil and then place in the lock and
work back and forth several
times. It will soon work with
ease.
Q. How can I remove an an-
noying squeak from my black
*hoes?
A. If the shoes are black, the
following is an effective remedy:
Place the shoes in a basin and
pour in enough linseed oil to cover
the soles. Allow to stand until the
following day, and the squeak
will have disappeared.
Q. Is it true that buttermilk
is a good cosmetic?
A. Yes, It is claimed to be
one of the best cosmetics known.
Apply it to the face and hands.
The milk may be warmed, but
,should not be boiled.
Canada at War
At the beginning of the war
:Canada had a.Permanent Force of
4,500 men and a Non -Permanent
Active Militia of 55,000. Today
there are more than 188,000 men
in the Active Army and 170,000 in
the Reserve Army. Nearly half
of Canada's estimated direct war
expenditure in the present fiscal
year will be devoted to the Aral.
S 4diers' P reels
Au interesting fact has been
brought to light by the return re-
cently of an Officer from Over-
seas. A great many parcels arrive
in a damaged condition due to
those at home not packing the
contents properly and also not
realizing the great distance of
travel and the number of times
the package must be handled.
And so. from this experience
overseas was born an organization,
the "C. A. 0. Parcels Dispatch
Reg.", 350 Bay Street, Toronto,
who, for the sum of One Dollar
dispatches a parcel containing
three packets of Razor Blades,
Two cakes of Soap, Two packets
of Chewing Gum, and small in-
dividuals of Gum or Salted Pea-
nuts
eanuts to fill all spare space; Shoe
Laces, Chocolate, Oxo and Cig-
arettes ,all of these articles being
difficult to obtain overseas.
Each parcel contains a post card
addressed ready to be sent back
to the sender in acknowledgment.
The idea of these Dollar par-
cels has met with ready response,
not only from individuals, but from
small groups of persons and Or-
ganizations who find the service
a great accommodation.

Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. If riding in someone else's
car and he stops for refreshments,
whose place is it to pay the bill?
2, Should a woman always re-
move herr hat in a theatre?
3. If a friend has a book one
wishes to read, is it all right to
ask outright to borrow it?
4. Is it proper to talk "shop"
while out in society?
5. When dining in a restaur-
ant, what should a woman do with
her purse and gloves?
6. Should a girl smoke, if she
would rather not, just beoause the
other girls in her crowd do?
Answers
1. If the host suggested stop-
ping, he mora than likely expecte
to pay. However, the proper thing
for the guest to do is to offer to
pay (and with sincerity), or at
least to suggest "Dutch treat."
2. Yes. It is bad form to keep
the hat on, no "matter how small
it may be. 3. No; one may ask
if the book is interesting, but if
no offer is made to lend it to you,
let the matter drop. 4. Not un-
less someone has asked you a
question pertaining to your work.
Your work may be very interest-
ing to you, and even to your
friends, but to talk it continually
is in poor taste. 5. Place them in
her lap or on a vacant chair,
never on the table. 6. No; she
should realize that smoking le a
matter of personal taste.

something about the game.
"Why, I just did a hole in one?"
yelled the golfer, a wild gleam in
his eyes,
"Did you?" said his wife, plea -
idly. "Do it again, dear. I didn't

No Central Canada
Pork For Maritimes
John A. McDonald, Nova Scotia
Minister of Agriculture, said he
approved of the suggestion, 'that
shipment of pork from Central
Canada into the Maritime Prov-
inces be prohibited.
"It should act as an added in-
centive to our farmers to produce
our own requirements," he said.
It was announced at Ottawa
recently that the banning of pork
importations into the Maritimes
from Central Canada was '•one of
the measures which received con-
sideration by the Canadian Bacon
Board in an effort to boost the
exports to Britain.
Why Sholdn't We
Give Brit :. in F o
Hon. R. B. Hanson, Conserva-
tive Leader in the Canadian
House of Commons, auggested.
that Canada might donate food
from "all our abundance" to help
Britain's war effort.
Mr. Hanson interviewed three
Cabinet ministers, toured the
Houses of Parliament, signed the
visitors' book at Buckingham
Palace and made his food sug-
gestion after a conference -with
Lord Woolton, Britain's food
minister.
"Lord Woolton," said Mr. Han-
son, "gave us a closer viewpoint
of the food requirements (of
Britain). I explored the possi.
bility of contributions of food. by
Canada. With all our abundance:
why shouldn't we give then?,

1,546 Bags of Mail
Fr Overseas Lost
The post office department an-
nounced recently receipt of word
that 1,546 bags of Canadian mail
destined for the United Kingdom
and leaving the dominion during
the last week in August bad been
lost through enemy action.
Included in the shipment were
1,293 bags from the base post
office at Ottawa containing mili-
tary mail for soldiers overseas.
Air Training Plan
Praised By uke
The Duke of Kent, back in
England from his tour of Canada
to study progress of the Com-
monwealth Air Training. Plan, de-
clared in a broadcast that the
Dominion can take "special pride
in its outstanding success."
He said he had been amazed at
the growth of the plan. The peo-
ple of Britain, he said, have no
idea of its magnitude.
"Two years ago it was a plan,"
the Duke said. "Today it 's a
vital war industry, which com-
bines the advantages of mass pro-
duction with the most skilful sel-
ection and individual training."
Parliament Will
Open November 3
The visits and consultations
overseas of Premier King and the
Conservative Leader, R. B. Han-
son, will be reflected when Parlia-
ment resumes on November 3.
Present plans call for recon-
vening Parliament on November
-With-the opening of the new
session fixed for November 5 or
6. This was the course followed
last year.
It is expected that two or three
weeks will be taken up in general
review of Canada's war effort
with the first hand information
the, missions overseas will have
produced. The financial appro-
priations will suffice till the end
of the fiscal year in March.
If there is any emergency leg-
islation of a budgetary character
similar to what was enacted last
November, it seems certain to be
in the nature of widened restric-
tions and the "spend less and
save" formula which the Finance
Minister is repeatedly emphasiz-
ing. An adjournment from early
Debember till February is regard-
ed as'probable.
Bacteriological War
--Farseen by Baxter
If Germany begins to lose the
war, Hitler will not even stop at
bacteriological warfare, Beverly
Baxter, Member of Parliament,
:said recently after his arrival
from Lisbon on the Yankee Clip-
per at LaGuardia Field.
"If .we get Hitler on the run,
he will concentrate on England
with things you never even
'thought of before," Mr. Baxter
said. "If things go badly with
hi'm in Russia, he will turn loose
a -Vengeance war on us, not stop-
ping `. at bacteriological warfare.
After all, the object of Hitler's
real hate is England, although
he's . getting awfully cross at the
United States."
Pr fanity Fines
For Worthy Cause
Not that railwaymen are any
more addicted to profanity than'
the ordinary run of mortals but
the Queen's Canadian Fund re-
ceived a rather unexpected con-
tribution recently from a Cana-
dian National train crew who un-
dertook to fine themselves every
time they uttered a swear word.
By mutual• consent it was agreed
that any member of the crew who
made use of a profane word while
in the van would place a penny
in a receptacle set aside for the
fund. The last week -end on
which the crew reached their ter-
minal, the receptacle was full to
overflowing — it contained nine
dollars and fifty-six cents—which
went to aid victims of German
bombs in Britain:
War Doesn't Stop
Progress of Art
More than 200 drawings and
paintings by British children have
reached the National Gallery in
Ottawa and will go on exhibition
today and later be shown in vari-
ous Canadian cities.
War has not been allowed to
interfere with the progress of art
education and cultural develop-
mentof children in England, said
H. McCurry, Director of the Gal-
lery. "Letters and reports show
they cling more tenaciously than
ever to these values in life."

15,000 Parcels To
Prisoners of War
Dr. F. W. Routley, national
commissioner of the Canadians
Red Cross, Toronto, said his or-
ganization is sending 15,000 par-
cels a week to continental Europe
for prisoners in enemy occupied •
territory.
The parcels, he said, cost $1.90
apiece to put up and transporta-
tion expenses are $2.50 each.
They contain a week's supply of
food, giving 3,000 calories a day.
Dr. F. Tisdale, of Ottawa, one
of Canada's nutrition experts, de-
signed the content of the pack
ages so as to give maximum food
value in the poundage allowed.
Ontario Will
Give Up Taxes
Ontario will abandon the In-
come and corporation tax field for
the duration at least, it was learn-
ed in authoritative quarters at
Queen's Park recently.
When the federal government
first invaded these fields of taxa-
tion the Hepburn government pro-
tested but now it is learned an
amicable arrangement has been
made.
The province would be compen-
sated for loss of revenue on the
basis of last year's collections,
which amounted to ' $23,000,000
from corporation taxes and 6,800,
000 from income taxation. Treas-
officials suggest that the total col-
lected this year might mean a loss
of $6,000,000 to the province but
the fact is that the government
budgetted for less in 1942 than In
1941.
It is also expected that Ontario
will be compensated by the Derain -
ion for loss of gasoline tax reven-
ues resulting from the federal Im-
position of an additional tax.
