This is the magnificent. vista which greeted New York church-
goers when the entire 601 -foot length of the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine was used for worship for the first time. The Cathedral,
one of the finest. examples .of French Gothic architecture, will, when
completed, be not only America's largest church, but the largest

CLOTHES AND AIR
CONDITIONING
"If women would dress in Whi-
ter in clothes that are compar-
able in warmth to those of Men
' they would be comfortable in a
temperature of 72F. instead of
76F." write Dr. C. P. Yaglou and
Miss Anee Messer in the Journal
of- the American Medical Associa-
tion. They arrived at this rather
obvious 'conclusion by• experiment-
ing with men and women employ-
ees of the Harvard School of Pub-
lic Health, in an effort to discover
a way of getting over the diffi-
culty presented by the double
comfort standard presented by air
conditioning,

HEAT -TAPESTRY
Electric filaments of sub -glow
temperature are' now interii*oven
with spun glass and other insul-
ating materials on great looms.
The result is a veritable "tapestry
of heat," a fabric which defies de-
struction, which has reduced fire
hazards practically to the vanish-
ing point, which is immune to
short circuits by foreign objects
and moisture, and which gener-
ates more usable heat. Import-
ant uses foe aviation are forecast
in the pre -heating of airplane en-
gines to save not only time and
fuel,; but to prevent the fouling
of spark plugs and the formation
of carbon. So with the de-icing
of wings.

FIREPROOFING
Ammonia sulfate, a curiosity
three years ago, is now being pro-
duced by the ton. The compound
is used as a fire retardant for
textiles, insulation products and
paper. A curtain treated with
ammonia sulfate will burn, but it
will not burst into flame.
Buy A Ticket
To Help Russia
You Can Aid The Retaii Fur-
riers in Their Generous
Effort To Raise Money For
Medical Supplies For Russia
On Saturday, November 29th,
the Associated Screen News of
Canada made a movie around
some beautiful fur coats. The coats
were modelled by Toronto's most
beautiful professional models in
the Royal York Hotel Roof Gar-
den, and the filen will be released
to theatres all across Canada on
December 5th. Watch for this re-
lease!
In the movie are a mink coat,
vrorth $3,000, an ermine evening
wrap, a Set of gorgeous silver
fox, stole and muff, a seal coat,
AL beautiful caracul jacket, a valu-
able llussian,lamb, and half a doz-
en others whose total value runs
high into the thousands of dol -
tars. There are thirty-six pieces of
fur altogether, and that means
that thirty-six lucky people are
going to win magnificent prizes.
Why not you?
Tickets are being sold at fifty
cents apiece and sale will go on
for some weeks. 'rheee furs were
given, most generously, by a group
of retail furriers in Toronto as a
way of letting the appeal of the
Dominion 'Goverment for honey
to provide medical and surgical
supplies to Russia, through the
Red Cross. Every ticket that is
sold means fifty cents more to-
ward helping our brave and gal-
lant ally in her time of meed. Any
ticket sold may mean for the hold-
er a beautiful fur coat.
There is another opportunity in
this story; many organizations are
anxious to help in raising money
to answer the appeal of the Gov-
ernment but are not quite sure
what to do. They could help tre-
mendously by taking blocks of
these tickets for distribution.
Tickets and information may
be had by addressing, simply,
RETAIL FURRIERS, TORONTO.
MODERN
ETIQUETTE
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. Is it proper to place the
el-
bows on the table while eating?
2. Is the man's or the woman's
name spoken first when introduc '
ing a man and his wife, to a•group -
of persons?
3, Is it correct for a member of
the bridegroom's family to give a
shower for the bride?
4. How should salespeople in
department stores address their
customers?
5. What is the regulation size
for wedding invitations, dances and
similar affairs.
6. What is the proper way to
remove some foreign substance
that one has taken into the mouth
while at the table?
ANSWERS
1. This practice is not frowned
upon as it once was. It is better,
however, to keep the elbows off
the table until coffee and cigar-
ettes are in order. 2. The wife's
name should be spoken first.
3. No; neither the family of the
bride nor the bridegroom should
give showers. 4. Customers should
be addressed by name when It is
known; otherwise as "madam" and
"sir." Saleswomen should never
address women customers as
"dearie" or "honey"; this is ex-
ceedingly crude. Nor is it good
form to refer to a woman accom-
panying a roan as "The wife" or
"The lnissus." 5. The regulation
size is five and a halt by seven
and three -eighth inches. 6. Re-
move it with the fingers behind the
napkin, and try to do it without
attracting attenlon.
People of Paris
Are Not Fooled
The Paris papers are read by
no one except the Quislings and
people bought by Germany, and
the news -vendors, who in the past
used to sell thousands of copies
outside Metro stations, often now
implore the passerby to buy a
copy if only, they add pitifully,
to enable them to earn a small
pittance. Sales of Paris-Soir,
spite of intense propaganda and
big prizes to .readers, have fallen
from a million and a half copies
before the war from 4 to 5,000.
One day each month, however,
sales are satisfactory; that is on
the day the paper announces the
new month's rations.

HAVE YOU
HEARD?
At a regimental dinner, the
colonel came round and put a.
fatherly hand on the shoulder of
the young subaltern.
"Look here, my boy,!" he said,
"this is your first dinner, and I
know you won't mind a little ad»
vice from jne, Go easy with the
decanter, and don't try to stick ite
too. long. Here's a good tip for
you. You see those two candle-
sticks there? Well, when you be-
gin to see four instead of two,
clear off."
"All right, sir," said the young
man. "But I can't see more than
one at present."
"Paw, what's an advertise-
ment?"
"An advertisement, my
boy, isalmost any picture of
a pretty girl (or girls) eat-
ing, cooking, smelling, wear-
ing or driving something the
advertisers are anxious to
sell,"
The New Army. _ apparently
doesn't know -much about eon -
duct sheets as the old. A young
soldier was recently brought be-
fore his company commander
charged with his first crime, a
minor matter.
"Has he a clean sheet?" the
officer asked the sergeant -major.
"Excuse hie, sir," -the 'accused
man broke in .hurriedly,. "I have
only been issued with blankets."
"I wish 1 could be sure of
distinguishing plants from
weeds. How did you learn?"
"Pull 'em out, and if they
come up again: they're
weeds."
Mr. McPherson gave "tome ad-
vice to his wife when they were
expecting friends to tea.
"Just mind, Jeanine," he said,
"to put the sugar -tongs in the
basin, an' not a spoon."
"But we have no lump sugar
the hoose," she expostulated.:
"We've only granulated."
• "I was mindin' that!" said Mc=
Pherson.
"What did your father say
about you smashing' up his
car?"
"Shall 1 leave out the
swear words?"
"Certainly."
"Then he didn't say any -
.thing."
Two sweethearts from Aber-
deen deep were rambling
'round when,
d hen
they came to a movie,
'The, young man tan "hide, eye
over the front of the building.
It rested on a title in large let-
tersf "The Woman Pays."
"Jean," he said. "I think •we'll

Harmless Goldfish
Destroying Trout
Do you think of goldfish as
harmless little • parlor pets? Then
you should , talk to Spence Turner,
Los Angeles county's chief for-
ester. Look what goldfish have
done to fishing in Crystal Lake,
high up in the nearby San Gabriel
mountains.
There the harmless parlor pets
have turned predatory, destroying
thousands of trout and other game
fish, much to the disgust of an -
glees. After all, who but a cat
wants to eat goldfish? There are
tons of them pursuing their ruin-
ous ways.
Years ago, a benevolent lady
living in San Gabriel canyon
couldn't take her goldfish with
her so she found a good home for
them turning the fish loose in the
lake.
Now the situation is so serious
that Turner and the state fish and
game commission plan an exter-
mination. campaign. Large bags
will be filled with a mixture of
laud and powdered tirnbo root
from South America. The mixture
will drug the lake and paralyze
the gills of all fish. They will
float to the top to be gathered off
in boats. Some fish will get a
new start in another lake. For
the goldfish, Turner adds, it will
be the finish.

ItaYs of cheery news slip

glimmerings of hope is the tip
from the Farm Research Division
of the North Carolina State Cole
lege that a small turkey is being

the New York Tinges.
As the average American home
shrinks in number of rooms and
in size • of refrigerator and oven,
the annual bird of the nation is
following suit. Thousands of vie-
tirils of the large turkey to which
the country has been accustomed
these many years will hail this

Russians Use
Flying Tanks
- Russians are using "flying
tames" or "tank -'planes" in
ground strafing attacks on Ger-
man airfields and columns, Nazi
propaganda company reporters
said recently. The heavily -armor-
ed 'planes, designed exclusively
for low-level strafing, were said
to be Russia's newest type JR2
machines. The Nazi reporters ad-
mitted German fighter 'planes had
pumped "enormous quantities" of
bullets into the 'planes with little
effect.
The Airplane Goes
Higher and Higher
When Sir Frederick Ranting
was killed in a plane crash, says
the Windsor Star, he was in the
midst of experiments to discover
some way to permit plane pilots
to go up to 40,000 feet and higher.
The human being can go only
so high without requiring stimu-
lation of some sort to live. Most
pilots can go to 15,000 feet and
fight their planes for an hour at
that altitude. But, when a pilot
gets to 25,000 feet he can survive
for half an hour without oxygen.
But, when he reaches 85,000 feet,
he has to breathe 100 percent
oxygen to live.
Some method is sought to allow
the pilots to go higher still. The
Nazis are working on a scheme
that will permit the German pilots
to go to 50,000 feet and Iive and
fight their planes. They have not
worked out the formula yet, and
the British and Americans are
hoping to find the secret first.
Higher and higher goes the war,
and the pilots who can _go the
highest have an advantage on their
enemy,
Germans Called
Goosestep Fliers
In the comments of British
fighting pilots on the German raid-
ers
is probably found the secret,
which not a few people have been
seeking, of the superiority of our
aerial fighters, man for man, over
their German opponents. The
R.A.F. men call the Nazis "goose-
step fliers." They find that they
are superb performers when in foe -
Illation and ,under strict command,
but they become confused and un-
sure of themselves when the
squadronskre broken up and they
are on their own.
Here is to be found, perhaps,
the fundamental weakness es ot thu
Nazi system, and even of bile
tyho)a. Teutonic character. The
'Nazis have simply .-stressed-and
Intensified the German flair for
regimentation. They have tried t*

chine. It makes for efficiency its
the mass, but it is deadly to in-
dividual initiative
It is the factor, in fact, which
will untimately win the war for
us. When a British force, on land,
in the air or at sea, is broken up
and disorganized by enemy action,
each unit and each pian becomes
a fighting machine of itself. They
are, in fact, most dangerous when
isolated. Such disorganization
spells disaster for the mass -mind-
ed Germans. That, in its briefest
form, is why our fighters are bet-
ter and always will be.
