As he was drilling a batch of
recruits the sergeant saw that one
of thein was marching out of step.
Going up to the man as they
marched, he said sarcastically:
"Do yon know they are all out
of step except you?"
"What?" asked the recruit in-
nocently. -
"I said they are ali out of step
except you," repeated the sergeant.
"Well," was the retort, "you tell
'ens, you're in charge."

BY ROBERTA LEE
1. What is the bad habit many
people exhibit when leaving a home
they have been visiting?
2. Is it obligatory that a girl
apologize when she makes a mis-
step while ancing?
3. Is it all right to remove seeds
from the mouth with the fingers,
'when eating an orange at the
table?
4. Should one be announced when
calling upon a woman at an apart_
meat house?
• 5. Is it alt right to have trailing
ribbons or fancy paper for decora-
tions over the dinner table?
6. When a woman acepts an in,
vitation, what should be done
when she finds that it is displeas-
ing to her husband?
ANSWERS
1. That of prolonging their leave-
taking, often standing for many
minutes at the door, It is much
better to leave as soon as possible
;ince the intention has been de -
eland. 2. No, but her partner
should say, "I am sorry," .3. It
would be better to use the spoon
with which the orange is being
eaten. A Yes. an Unless the wom
Is an intimate friend, request the
hall boy to telephone her before
going up. 5. No; a hostess with
any claim to good taste will use
these dnepvationS only on such an
ccaslon as a fancy-dress or a
children's party. 6. As the Invi-
tation already has been accepted,
the husband should attend and try
to cancel his displeastlt'E.
Grow More Cereals
Advises Mr. Dewan
Good advice was given Ontario
farmers by Hon, P. M. Dewan,
Provincial Minister of Agricul-
ture, at Sault Ste. Marie, when
he urged on them the necessity
of increasing cereal production
next year, says the Windsor Star.
They have had an object lesson
this year of what it means to be
short of feed for livestock at a
time when the production of ani-
mals must be increased.
The feed situation is being
solved just now, but only through
extraordinary measures which
have been taken by the Dominion,
in the way of assisting in the
payment of transportation costs
from the West. This is an expen-
sive system. It is far better to
have the fodder available on the
ground, and only by taking
thought now can the farmers have
assurance of adequate supplies
when they are needed next year.
lhat Science
Is o u . g
HAiRS LOOK LIKE TREE
TRUNKS
Imagine a human hair magnified
so that it looks like a tree trunk,
or a cricket ball enlarged so that
its diameter appears to be four
and a half miles! These are the
latest miracles of science. An or-
dinary microscope — that 1s one
that uses ordinary light — can be
made to magnify 2,000 times. That
is its limit; but science, wanting
to go further, made a microscope
which uses ultra violet light rays
which are invisible to the human
eye but not to the lens of the cam-
era. With this photographs were
obtained 5,000 times life size.
Not content with this, Dr.
Zworykin and other specialists of
New York have constructed an el-
ectron microscope using rays so
short that objects are magnified
up to 30,000 diameters. Photo-
graphic enlargements have Increas-
ed these up to something like 200,-
000
00;000 diameters.
DANDELION RUBBER
While touring the Tien -Shan
Mountains in 1931, a young Soviet
student, named 13ukhanovich, and
a farmer, Spivachenko, found at an
altitude of over 6,000 feet above sea
level a variety of dandelion, now
known as the kok-sagyz, which
proved to be a rubber -making
plant. Seeds of the dandelion have
since been disseminated all over
the Soviet Union. In 1940 an area
was planted ten times as large as
in 1937, and thousands of acres
were to be added this year. A com-
mercial crop of Brazilian hevea can
be gathered only in the fifth year
after planting, but kok-sagyz can
be utilized as caoutchouc in the
first year. And the caoutchouc is
said to be satisfactory.
Steel production in Canada dur-
ing the first seven months of 1941
amounted to 1,34b,751 tons as
against 1,127,828 tons and 691,290
tons in the cot:r'espondng periods
of 1940 and 1989,.respectively.

Ls Hunting Sport?
I hold no particularly human-
itarian views about shooting
and fishing, although as I en-
ter the last stretch of life'$
race my sympathy for the
hunted incree.ses. M3= concep-
tion of'sportsmanship is chang-
ing—the cards are too often
stacked against the prey and
the rules of the game give the
lords of creation all the high
cards in the deck.
I have no right and no wish
to criticize any citizen who
wants to hunt— a misnomer —
provided that he observes the
regulations, but for goodness
sake don't let us camouflage
this as "sportsmanship."

United States Ambassador John

League luncheon that "I really
have no qualifications as an am-
bassador.
"I remember," he said, "that
when I came over here many
years ago I thought I would like
to go in the diplomatic service.
"We were asked to Bucking-
ham Palace to tea and I wanted to
be very correct. I remember'get-
ting a tall hat—the first I had
ever worn—and a tail coat.
"We presented ourselves. But
everybody else wore a straw hat

later we were asked to the races.

a fool of myself again. So I worn:
a short coat and a straw hat.
Everyone else had a tall hat and a

Queer Trick Played.
By London Bomb
The behaviour of the average
Londoner in an air raid is typic
Pied by the experience of a friend
of mine who was walking one
night through a neighboring
square when one corner of it was
blown up. From the resulting
mess there emerged a young wo-
mall. Now bomb blast plays
some queer tricks, and her cos-
tume consisted of a thick coating
of plaster dust and one shoe. She
addressed him very precisely: 'I
left my hat on the hall table. If
you wouldn't mind fetching it I
can get a bus'.

How Can I.
BY ANNE ASHLEY
BY ASHLEY
Q. How can I renovate black kid
gloves?
A. Touch the worn spots with a
camel's hair brush dipped into a
mixture of olive o1l and ink.
Q. How can I destroy plant in-
sects?
A, Soak one tablespoonful of
tobacco in one quart of water over
night. Pour this solution on the
soil about every thirty days; it
will destroy plant insects and also
fertilize the plant.
Q. How can I remove spots on
tablecloths caused by candle wax
drippings?
A. Rub the spots with cold lard
or turpentine and then wash in
warm soapsuds,
A. What are a few of the stand-
ard kitchen measures?
A. One salt spoon equals three-
quarters of a teaspoon; three tea-
spoons equal one tablespoon; six-
teen tablespoons equal one cup;
two cups equal one pint.
Q. How can I retain the auburn
tint in my hair?
A. Five cents worth of salts of
tartar diluted in a pint of warm
water is one of the best prepara-
tions for retaining the tint of au-
burn hair. Rub this into the hair
until a goo lather is worked up;
lease on the hair for about an hour
before rinsing in clear water. This
is _a cleansing process and also
brings out the auburn tint in the
hair.
We Might Well
Do The Sarre
Rural and suburban dwellers
should start vegetable gardens
and raise their own pigs and
chickens for national defence,
Mrs. : Franklin D. Roosevelt told
1, 500;; persons recently at a forum
sponsored by the Foreign Policy
Association.
Suds a move, she said, would
take them out of the "consumer
market" and leave more food to
be shipped to England and other
democracies resisting German ag-
gression.
Nurse: g Sisters
For Sailor Boys
Establishment of a Nursing
Service In the Royal Can-
adian Navy
A. navy spokesman described the
new service as an offshoot from
the army nursing service vel ich
formerly ioo'keu -au= ......_
He said the service would be "on
a small scale."
Navy hospitals were being built
at Halifax and Bsquimault and the
'nursing service would staff them.
It might also staff other small
units at- other places but "defin-
itely -none of the nurses will go to
sea."
Highest rank iii the service is
that 'Of matron_in-chief, equivalent
to lieutenant commander, and the
pay is $7.75 a day. Matrons, who
have corresponding rank to lieut-
enants, draw $6.50.
.A. nursing sister and dietician
gets $4,25 and has rank equivalent
to sub -lieutenant. Her pay increases
to $5 after six months. A nursing
sister who is an assistant matron
or in charge of a hospital of from
100 to 175 beds gets an extra 60
cents a ay. Home sisters and phys-
iotherapy aids, with corresponding
rank to midshipman, are paid $8.
Sub Crews Rescued
Now Number 1,276
The Admiralty has announced
that a total of 1,276 officers and
men have been rescued from an
undisclosed number of sunken
axis submarines,
A communique said:
"Royal navies, with the assist-
ance of the coastal command of
the R.A.F., continue to protect our
shipping and to levy a heavy toll
on enemy U-boats. For reasons
well appreciated, particularly by
the enemy, our successes against
the U-boats are rarely published.
"It is possible to announce,
however, that a total of 1,276 of-
ficers and men have been rescued
from sunken enemy U-boats and
are held prisoners of war. Of
these 467 are Italians.
"The relationship between the
magnitude of the enemy claims
and his own lack of success was
illustrated recently when the Ger-
man high command claimed to
have sunk 14 ships totalling 47,-
000 tons from a convoy homeward
bound from Gibraltar. In feet
four ships totalling 8,772 tons
were sunk. This was only achiev-
ed by the enemy at a cost to him-
self.
Soldiers' Talents
Will Be Utilized
Soldiers are no longer just so
many men to be put into uniform
and assigned haphazardly to
whatever duties happen to need
doing at the moment. It may
sound like faddism to apply psy-
chology to the army, but it Is
paying dividends.
There is a recognition in the
Canadian Army today that men
have aptitudes or training for cer-
tain trades and vocations. A spe-
cial section at headquarters has
the duty of seeing that the in-
dividuals are allocated to the du-
ties they can do best. The result
is an army of specialists, compar-
able to an efficient business or-.
ganzation in which the employ-
ees are set at the tasks for which.
they are most apt. It may sound

Take a tip from
old timers who
have been rolling their own for
twenty years or more.Their brand
is Ogden's and they wouldn't think
of smoking anything else. They like
it because it has a taste you can't
match—a taste which comes from
its distinctive blend of choice, ripe
tobaccos. Try it. You'll find it's not
just another tobacco—it's Ogden's.
