SAARBRUCKEN'S STILL BURNING ! .
Less than 22 hours after they had left the German industrial
city, of Saarbrucken in flames, this Royal Canadian Air Force 'bomb-
ing "team" reached Ottawa to tell Canadians atfirst hand the sort
of job our airmen are doing overseas.,These lads loosed their load
of deadly bombs on Saarbrucken.at 2.1 a.m. and they were in Ot-
tawa by the following midnight to report that the Nazi city was
• "flaming like a ruddy circus." Pictured above on their arrival in Ot-
tawa the lads are (Left to Right) Flight Sergeant S. -C. "•Siggy"

The 1V. issionary And' The
Gangster
(From The Saturday Review of
Literature) ,
About ten years ago I read this
story in -some anthology. It has no
"social significance, it is unashamed
entertainment, but by the soul of Dan
Chaucer, is it a'tale! I. wonder if any
readers can recall, its 'author and
title? '
An' aging American missionary re-
turned from New Guinea with a na-
tive servant and a zeal 'to fight gang-
sterism in his home city, Detroit. His
name, I think, was James Wetherby.
The servant boy, Moki,: did not think
Mr. Wetherby any great shakes as a
medicine man; the magical feats of
his own tribal wizards seemed to him
mere impressive. But he respected
his employer's dignity, venerated his
grey hair, and was fond of him in his
quiet New Guinea fashion. He was
unable to make head or tail of his
master's anti -gangster crusade.
Before long, however, an event oce
curred that made perfectly good sense
to Moki. One of the gangsters, known
in the underworld as Louey, stole in-
to Wetherby's grounds and, through
an open window, shot and seriously
wounded the reformer.
Moki was up a tree when the°shoot-
ing occurred. This was nothing unus-
ual—Moki was given to climbing trees
to look about him. He was unable
to stop the assassin, but he did get a
good look at his face.
With his master in the hospital,
Moki—apparently a neatly dressed,
undersized and friendly Negro—had
abundant time to drift about the city's
underworld looking for Lousy. It did
not take long to find him.
',One night soon. afterward Louey
was posted, as lookout while his gang
undertook to hold up , a roadhouse.
When they emerged, Louey failed to
appear.. One of his friends went to
look for him, '
Presently came a, quavering cry
from the searcher: "Here's Louey,
but he's lost his noodles!-
Naturally .his friends were greatly
upset by what seemed a most inhum-
an variation of gang warfare—the be-
heading of Lousy, Quite ,a number
of gangsters were killed in .the sub-
sequent vendetta between Louey's
mob end their rivals.
Meanwhile Mold ilia& carried his
'prize home in a basket. Now was his
chance to show what he could do. For
his own• and his master's honor, he
resolved /chat this should be his mag-
num opus.'
Some months later 'he looked at his
finished work, and saw that it was,
good. There was only one slight flaw
—he had not been able to preserve
the, pasty hue .of Louey's complexion.
In fact, Louey's countenance was now
nearly as dark as his own. Otherwise
its rugged individuality had been
superbly maintained.
He took the trophy to the hospital
and presented it to his• master. Mr.
Wetherby thanked him widetly', al-
though with evident sincerity—much
to the gratification of the little brown
man. The fact that Mr. Wetherby
made no great to-do over the gift of
his enemy's head showed that he was
a very big chief indeed, •Moki thought.
What he did not, know was that Mr.
Wetherby had no idea who had shot
him, saw nothing unfamiliar in the
dark face, and assumed that the tro-
ph'y was one Mold had brought with
him from New Guinea.
When Wetherby was well enough to
go home, he presented the. head to
the city museum, where it was hung
in a place oily honor. A few days lat-
er, one of Loney's mob •ducked into
the museum, to avoid being seen by
member of the rival gang. He took
one glance at the new exhibit, his
narrow, hard eyes opened to aston-
ishing width, and he quickly with-
eireer, a .,
During, tee .next week the curator
observed that a surprising number of
lowlbrowed, pasty -faced, flashily dress-
ed fellow's 'entered the museum, gaz-
ed
azed with oddly horrified expressions at
lit
the curio, and stole away. He had
no idea that Detroit's underworld
would display such a lively interest in
New Guinea ethnology.
One day the leading ganster of the
city came in and engaged him in con-
versation. ,
"Where'd you guys get that speci-
men?" the -gangster asked.
"Why, it was presented to the mus-
eum by Mr: James Wetherby," the
curator answered. "He lived 'out in
the jungles fon a long time, and I
guess he brought it from there."
"Um."
"Wonderful than, Mr. Wetherby. -I
guess you've got to be,. to get along
in the jungle. There's a lot more to
him than you'd think."
"I'lI say there is."
Thereafter Wetherby lived at peace
—served happily by Moki. The word
had passed through the length and
breadth of the underworld that he
was an excellent fellow to let alone.
Must Yield
Old Tubes
Anyone buying shaving cream or
toothpaste' in a collapsible tube from
now on must turn in an- old tube for
each new one' : bought, according to,
an ,order from Wartime Prices and
Trade Board. The order forbids any
retailer to sell ayn preparation in a
collapsible tube without surrender of
a. used one.. .
Turned in 'tubes may be any kind;
not necessarily ones which contained
toothpaste or shaving - cveam, and
tube caps are not needed". - Exceptions
to the general order include pur-
chases of . toothpaste or shaving
cream in tubes when these form part
of, but not more than 25 per cent' of
the value of a gift kit or combination
of goods.
An earlier order prohibiting the de-
struction or throwing away of collap-
sible metal tubes is still in effect.
Any extra tubes lying around the
house should be turned in to retail
drug stores in addition 'to the ones
being exchanged. •

ational $elective l'el:vice has issued
c ear -cut explanatelebelof who must
r :inter so that np women "ill break

The first .group t ' register will be
the.age classes born•between January
1, 1918, and December 9.1, 1922 — in
other words, women •between, the ages
of 2'0 to 24 inclusive. All women must
register, with one exception and that
group .is made up Of the women who
are employed and in possession of Un-
employinent -Insurance Registration
cards 411 and 419 and who are still
working for wages or salaries and
Paling unemployment insurance. In-
mates ' of institutions such as hospi-
tals, mental hospitals and members
of religious institutions need not reg-
ister.
Any woman, however, who did reg-
ister for unemployment insurance last
April and are not now working for
wages and • salaries must . register
again. Women who' were registered
last Spring but have now left jobs
in which they were paying unemploy-,
went insurance for those which are
not insurable must register again.
For example, a girl working in a
factory in April, '•might have left now
to take farm work or domestic ser-
vice, both nonineuraEbie industries.
She would still have her unemploy-
ment insurance card as required but
must zte-register because she is not
working in n insurable industry so
that the National ' Selective Servide
offices would not have an up-to-date
record of her employrhent.
Other groups who must register in-
includea housewives, domestic seri-
ants,i farm workers, women employed
in hospitals or charitable institutions;
where they are not already register-
ed; professional-private
egister=ed;professional-private duty nurses
oreprobationers undergoing training to
become professional nurses, women
employed as: teachers, including teach-
ers oft dancing and music who are not
already registered; women.: employed
as agents paid by commission or fees,
such as real .'estate and insurance ag-
ent; and self employed women which
will include those operating their own '
business,, proprietors of beauty par-
lors, gift shops, etc. i
Registration will be conducted in
Employment and Selective Service of-
fices (formerly Employment and
Claims offices of the Unemployed In-
surance Commission), where these are
set up and in rural areas registration
will 'be at they nearest post office.
The form which 'the women are
asked to fill out includes questions of
their education and training and will-
ingness to go into war work., After
all this age group has been register-
the women who Seem to be most
likely prospects for wolf' will be call-
ed for an interview with one of the
personnel workers of National Selec-
tive Service. The interview will be
detailed and rexplain to the women
the urgency of their place in war pro-
duction.
Mrs. Eaton stresses that all women
mustnot expect to 'be placed immed-
iately in Some essential work, for
they must realize that placement in.
industry and essential occupations,
such as nursing, social welfare or nu-
trition work must be carefully done.
Ij,•egistration will give Canada a' com-
plete up ' to date inventory of the
workers available' to keep guns, tanks
and planes supplied to the men in
the front lines. Eventually all women
will be .registered but registration will
proceed slowly until all age groups
are tabulated.
Virtue
A man that hath no virtue in him-
self ever envieth virtue in' others;
for men's minds' will either feed upon
their own good, or upon ,others' evil;
and who wanteth the one will prey
upon the. other; and whoso is out of
hope to attain to another's virtue,
will seek to come at even hand by
depressing another's fortune.—Bacon.
