Torpedo from the British cruiser York hits the Italian vessel just short of amid- ships. Moments later, great geyser of smoke envelops ship, and shoots skyward, indicating explosion of powder magazine. What Science ;wvIs Doing TREE -PLANTING MACHINE After three years a machine that will plant about 8,000 trees .or shrubs a day has been devel- oped for use on the shelter belts of the Prairie States Forestry Project. Tho planting machine is mount- ed on an . implement called a "uniearrier" to which are com- monly attached plows, disks, till- age tools and similar farm equip- xheat- The machine planter can be moved from farm to farm on its sawn wheels. An ordinary tractor delivering from 15 to 20 drawbar horsepower handles it without dif- ficulty. A planting crew consists of two men on the machine and a tractor driver. The two planters aiding the machine alternate in placing trees in the trench and holding them in position until the iiouble wheels directly* behind the blades pack the soil around the •tree roots. A clicker signals when Il tree is to be placed. The machine resembles a vege- table -plant setter, but differs from ;it in that no water is used to sluice the trees into place. A crew of three and a helper can plant an .:average of about a mile of ten -row shelter -belt trees in an eight-hour day—about 8,- 000 ;000 trees and shrubs of several different species. A twelve -man Brew using hand tools can plant only 6,000 trees and shrubs per day in soil prepared by the trench - digging unicarrier alone. —0— HOG CHOLERA Over 100,000 pigs have been :successfully immunized with a new hog -cholera vaccine develop.. ad by Professor William T. Boyn- ton of the University of Califor- nia, after nearly a quarter of a century of research. The stand- ard serum -virus treatment was sometimes followed by fatal en- teritis, pneumonia and infection by vermin. The new vaccine is free from these drawbacks. More- over, there is no clanger of spread- ing the disease because the vac- cine is made not from the blood of once -infected animals but from glandular tissue ground up with eucalyptol, A single inoculation 1s enough. Churchill Discloses Good R.A.F. News Prime Minister Churchill's dis- •. the.Errs • of- ficial wI t closure is .ficial statement that the Royal Air Force now has attained equal- ity "in size and number" with h the German air force, Tbc Press Association air cor- respondent said the Prime M in - later"apparently was speaking nlot only of actual strength In frontline aircraft, but also of :capacity to maintain equality in production of aircraft." With the Commonwealth Air Training Plan in full swing, the Correspondent said it was cote. aldered Britain "is able to keep pace it the supply of pilots with tie ever-increasing product.otl of machines." "Tail -End Charlies" Here's a word for young Can- adians who, to borrow a phrase from Air Minister Power, have clear grit, nerves of steel and a clear eye: Your chance in the air is coming, the chance to be at "Tail -End Charlie." He told the Commons recently he believed certain Canadian - made aircraft could be modified and substituted for types difficult to obtain from Britain so Can- ada could train a type of pupil "to which we are not at all com- mitted" under the British Com- monwealth Air Training Plan. "I refer to pupils such as the straight air gunners—Tail-End Charlies, they.: call them," said Maj. Power. "They sit at the tail end of the bombing machines with all heaven above and all hell below. They require clear grit; they must have nerves of steel and a clear eye." Says Battle Is Won In Mediterranean Gengin Sikorski, Poland's pre- mier and commander-in-chief, went to Malta recently to decor- ate the crew of a Polish naval unit and said: "Britain has won the battle of the Mediterranean." "I have seen for myself Bri- tain's domination of these waters is complete while her superiority in the air is beginning to be- come obvious," he said, adding that "Malta today Is au impreg- nable fortress." Cats are being stolen in Shang - hal for their fur, How Can 1? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q, How can 1 clean furs? A. Clean the furs by first brushing the wrong way; then sift over the fur some hot corn- meal or bran. Rub this into the fur and allow to stand before brushing it mit, Take the fur outdoors and brush (with the nap) with a stiff whiskbroom, after which saturate a clean cloth with gasoline and rub the fur well, using a whiskbroom to re- store the nap; then hang in the sun to dry. Rub with the nap when cleaning, and never use water, on furs, as it shrinks the bide. Q. How can I get the tie- backs of window draperies event A.

He was going home and it was dark, His road from the station was a lonely one and he was hur- rying along as fast as he could when he realized suddenly that a man behind was following him pur- posely. The faster • he went the faster the man followed until they came to a field, "Now," he said to himself," "I'll find out if he's after me," and he entered the field. The ratan fol lowed him. Ho circled around and bis pursuer dodged after him. He crawled under a hedge. Still the man was after him. At last he turned and faced the fellow. "What do you want? What are you fol- lowing me for?" "Well sir, it's like this. I'm go- ing to Mr. Brown's house and the station agent told me to follow you because Mr. Brown lived next door. Tell me something. Do you always >'o home like this?" Three tramps had boiled a chicken and were arguing how to divide It. One suggested they should toss w coin. "Head," . called Sam. "Taii," called Tom. "I'll take what's left," said Pat. While waiting for the "Ali Clear," the men at the Government Munition Training Centre were down in the shelter discussing lodgings. "I've got digs fit for a blinking king," said one in enthusiastic. tones. 'Well, my bed reminds me of the Prince of Wales' motto," oyUI-, cally retorted another.

Hitler's charge that "the Unit- ed States has attacked Gerliiany"'' recalls some other famous accus,. mations from the same source. As cording to the Hitler version of things— "Austria attacked Germany" t Ita last Chancellor, Schusehnigg, , was preparing to hold a plebi- ' smite among his own people, and that was a threat to the German Reich. "Czecho-Slovakia attacked Ger. many": It had some territory that Germany wanted, and so it was guilty of aggression. "Poland attacked Germany": It ` would not dismember itself, so Hitler was forced to dismember it, "Denmark, Holland and Bel- gium all attacked Germany": They were guilty of lying in its line of march. In our own case, according to the Hitler version, the attack was begun when the unarmed steam- ship Robin Moor practically threw itself upon a Nazi torpedo. Germany never attacks. It is Hitler's theory that the bigger the lie the better its reception. —New York Times The new Improved Buckley Formula 1s all medication -- no syrup acts faster on coughs and colds' gives you more for your ,money.

Cherlee de Gaulle, Free French leader, said recently a "gigantic effort" was necessary to produce "astronomical" quan- tities of tanks and airplanes for men who "some day will have to go into .action in Europe, Asia and Africa." He spoke at a Foregn Press Association luncheon. Perhaps, he said, it will be the action of 100,000 tanks, combin- " ed with that of 100,000 planes and supplied by 50,000,000 tons of shipping, "which will cause the enemy's mechanized system to crumble and with it the whole edifice of German tyranny." He said it seemed to be in keeping with the logic of events that Germany should soon seek "the respite she needs" but as- sorted it "is quite certain in ad- vance" that any German solicita- tions never would be accepted.

Found Its Motto Story of The Most Famous Motto of To-dzye World Told By Winnipeg Free Press How did the Air Force get its motto? One would expect, from the importance of the service to- day, the courts of heraldry made the fateful choice and Privy Coun- cil ratified it. In the London Times last month there appeared a letter from a clergyman, Rev. John T. Watson, asking how the motto cane to be chosen. A correspon- dence has followed which is as- tonishing in this ---that the motto was chosen in a most haphazard way. Frederick H. Sykes writes that when he was raising the mili- tary wing of the flying corps in 1912, one of the difficulties was that all his officers and men were in different uniforms or in civ - Ilan dress. At his suggestion a distinctive uniform was author- ized. A badge was now needed and Sykes and Brigadier General David Henderson, of the War Of- fice f fice, together sketched one upon a War Office blotting pa& The badge so sketched is the badge the Air Force wears today, A motto was needed to com- plete the badge, and Sykes asked his officers to make suggestiollg, A young offieer by name of J. N. Fletcher proposed "Per Ardua ad Astra," Fletcher had got the Iden from a friend named J. S. Yule,. an officer in the Royal Engineers, and now in the War Office. This suggestion seemed good and was referred to the War Office.. It was criticized by one of the higher-ups as being "bad Latin,' but was approved. Other letters indicate that tiev- e>rar,, b z. , a� _i_• ,e• existed and, in particular, F.11, ' Peawnue QUICKLY pricks+tNlltosmad 1$°aa'res 1211 and sitar stigsollf„ osNtlalne-. a1Se loll., at druyelets proves It et MRIIIY Salk Lower Master of Eton. They probably had the Sykes suggestion referred to them. Thus was selected the phrase which has become the most fa- mous motto in the world, British Sound Cure For Shell Shocked Vivid Picture Presented of What War Is Like In Eng- land The "crash -conditioning" of Bri- tain's shell-shocked Blitzkrieg vice aims by subjecting them to ad- ditional noise was described to members of the Southern Medical Association, in St. Louis, Mo. The idea of blasting the ears of persons who are already psycho- pathic and confined to hospitals was said to have been effective, but it did not work on a group of persona who heard for the first time the whine of dive bombers, the slu-ielt: and blast of falling bombs. The sound picture of what war In England is like made women faint and men shudder or get up and de- part. The sounds were transcribed on recordas by the British Broadcast' Ing Corporation using microphones placed in open fields, homes and bomb shelters near Dover and Lon- don during the Battle of Britaisr last August. These records hare been used IA the newest experiment Q! thr9 wM oil men, wolYteil snail children, wsiu were frightened even by a dooit squeak, in a process described "de- conditioning" persons to bomb raid noises. At first they would run scream- ing from the rooms, holding their ears and tearing at anything IR their way.
