On one of her rare visits to a neighboring town she saw a sailor. Trembling with excitement she asked him it he knew her boy. She told him his name. "Well, what ship is he in?" asked the sailor. "What ship?" exclaimed the old WY. "Are there two?" "Now, children, can anyone give me a definition of a niche, such as a niche ilk a church?" Little Jackie: "Well, it's just like an itch In any other place but you can't scratch It there." "Absent-minded, isn't he?" "Extremely so. The other night when he got home he knew there was something he wanted to do, but he couldn't remember what it was until he had sat up over as bear trying to think." "And, did he finally remem- ber it?" "Yes, he discovered that he 'slanted to go to bed early." Prize for the best (or worst) pun of 1941. to date should go to The Scotsman, which, com- menting on the news that grass has been listed as an excellent food, chimes In :"Green grow the rations 0." A doctor and a dentist shared the services of a typist and both fell in love with her. The dentist was called away on business so he sent for the typist, and said, "I'm going to be away for ten days. You'll find a little present in your room." She went in, and found ten apples. "I wrote to the paper to find out how long cows should be milked." "And they said?" "Just like short cows." "Your poor husband's still in bed, then?" "Yes, he's really quite all right, but when the doctor came six weeks ago he said Fred mustn't get up on any account until he said he could; and we think the doctor must have gone in the army."

But experts warn that while one—the mushroom— may be a tasty dish, the other— the toadstool—ea the cause of stomach aches, violent illness, even death. How to tell them apart is the problem. To persons who go mushroom hunting, Inspector W. H. Brump- ton of Windsor Police, who knows his mushrooms, lays down ono hard and fast and safe rule: "If in doubt, throw 'em out." It's much better not to take a chance," says Inspector Brump- ton. "Of course mushrooms ars, pretty good to eat, but if your aren't absolutely certain what it is you have picked, you'll find it safer to discard it. A toadstool may taste all right, but it often has terrible after effects." Another rule the inspector has is this: "If they're pale and won't peel they're not mushrooms." "I judge them by the color of the underneath parts," he says, "If they are pink or Black under- neath, then I figure they are .safe." Cars From Canada. Arrive In India India now is receiving motor cars and trucks from Canadian factories, Sir Sanmukham Chetty, head of an Indian purchasing mis- sion to this continent, said on his arrival in Montreal from New York en route to Ottawa. "We are interested in a whole range of supplies and we want to see in what respects Canada can supplement the production of American factories to which we have given orders," Sir Shan- mukham, accompannied by e. large staff, told reporters. .-e-e-a--a•so illi� f, BY ANNE ASHLEY By Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean unwashabie leather gloves? A. Clean with a flannel cloth that has been soaked in milk, squeezed nearly dry, and then rubbed on a. bar of soap. Q. How can I clean gold -decor- ated china so as to protect the gold? A. Wash in lukewarm water containing soap flakes in moder- ation. Never rub soap directly on the gold, as it will dull the gold and eventually cause it to rub off. Q. How can I test the purity of butter?. A. Put a little of the butter in a spoon and hold over the gas flame. If it dissolves without sputtering, it is pure. 'Flows*ver, if it contains some other sub- stance, it will sputter. Q. flow can I remove colored candle tallow stains from table linen? A, Place a blotter over and a blotter under the stain. Press with a hot iron. Repeat this pro- cess, shifting the blotter each time, until the tallow disappears. Q. How can I clean a griddle that has become crusted? A. Place it over a very hot fire and cover thickly with salt. Af- ter the salt has turned brown, the crust and salt will brush off together, leaving the griddle like new. After washing the griddle, grease well and heat before put- ting away, No Invasion Now Of Western Front British Government Has No intention of 'inviting Anoth. er Dunkirk Lord Moyne said in the House of Lords recently that it would he "madness" for Britain to attempt to open a second front in the West to aid Russia and described as "folly" any move which would de- nude England of an army to resist invasion. Speaking for the Government after widespread demands for a second front, Moyne said Britain Iacked tanks and artillery for an attempted invasion of the contin- ent. He said the Government, de- spite amateur strategists, soap box orators, and campaigns in the press, had no intention of inviting another Dunkirk. Would Suit Hitler "1 can no t imagine anything which would suit Hitler's Inure better than if we adopted the Chin- ese method of committing suicide on your enemy's doorstep," he said. He made the Government's posi- tion clear after demands for an in- vasion had been made by Lord Strabolgi; who "deplored" that when the greatest opportunity of all time had presented itself ,Brit- ain was unable to strike in the west because of lack of equipment, Strabolgi claimed that Germany had only 25 second-rate divisions in all of Western Europe, and that they had less than 100 tanks . to support them. But Moyne persisted in the Government's refusal to aid Russia by invading the continent in a manoeuvre designedte, draw German troops out of Russia. Not Enough Equipment Moyne implied that ecedipment, especially tanks, now in British hands was not sufficient to make the opening of a front in the west possible. He said that tie Western Front operation wouldi•'severely strain British shipping and woiild denude Britain of an army needed to repel possible German invasion. "It would be madness for us to . improvise an expedition of that, kind", Moyne said. "You cannot land a well equipped 'army with.;•,,, out a vast amount of shipping. It would be folly to denude this coun- try of an army we will need in • case of invasion. "You. cannot land a force with• merely rifles and bayonets to face all the artillery and tanks available in France." 1.0.D.E. Helps British Victims = a" Hundreds of New Garments and Blankets Sent to Britain During the months of June, July: and August alone, approximately thirty-seven tons of new clothing and new bedding, valued at $92,- 107.83, 92;107.33, were shipped to Great Brie,; tain by the Imperial Order .Daughe- ters of the Empire, according .to. Mrs. W. R. Walton, Jr., vice -con. venor of the National War Service Committee of the LO.D.E.: `' Hundreds of new garments and blankets included in the above were collected through Imperial Oil ser- vice stations across Canada in car- tons placed there by the I.O.D.E. The added co-operation of the Provincial Automotive . Transport Associations, whose trucking: com- panies gave their services ,gratis, in delivering these cartons to the various Provincial I:O',D.E.. head- quarters, aided materially,. the I.O,D.E. effort which has provided great quantities of new clothing for British bombed victims as well as tons of selected reading. material for Canada's fighting forces. In Ontario alone full cartons were picked up from Imperial 011 service stations in 82 towns and cities and hauled by members of the Automotive Transport Associa- tion of Ontario to the I.O,D.I;, head- gl:arters at Hamilton and Toronto. Mrs. Walton states that the need for riew clothing and bedding tor; - the British bombed victims and for books for the troops is urgent and that donors may still leave their contributions at.

After a time in India one begins to appreciate the latent power of the British Empire, slow to gather momentum but now approaching high gear. The Northwest Frontier provides natural protection with its great range of mountains, arid deserts, and high plateaus stretching chain - like from China to the Persian Gulf. - That wild and inhospitable mountain country virtually is without roads and any hostilities in the current situation would leave the aggressor operating far from his own bases, whereas the Indian Army and Air Force would func- tion from their own nearby. The bases are linked by a net- work of excellent British roads and are supported by huge pools of foodstuffs and raw materials vital to a rapidly -expanding war in- dustry. The natural routes into India from the north by way of Balu- chistan are over fierce deserts reachable best from Iran, from Afghanistan by way of Khyber Pass, or from 0- -tral Russia. At the summit of Khyber Pass the Landi Kotal fort forms a tough bation. That spearhead of the Khyber defense is reached by a broad gauge railway built espec- ially to give a maximum of pro- tection from enemy air and artil- lery fire. An excellent motor road has been blasted from the mountain sides to euaable rapid communica- tioe with the famous outpost. J.
