To many who may not be interested in that Route, this may be just passing news,` but. to Mr. 'Mains and we are sure, to all the boxholders on R.R. 3, it means the severing of a long, and true daily friendship. The very fact, that when the Boxbolders on that Route were informed that there was a possibility of theme lost Mr, Mains as their mailman, they did ev erything possible to maintain him, would testify to their satisfaxtion and trust in his services. The delivering of mail on a rural route, covering nineteen miles, mostly of Concession roads, is not all sun shine, lint in conversation with Mr Mains he says that he always enjoyed it. The people were always kind and considerate, and at all times did he receive the best of co-operation. In his twenty-two years of service he could record fifty deaths that had taken .place on the Route. He rd;xets that he did not keep track of the Man riages and births miring the time, 'but there were several. Many of the farm's have changed hands, and many which at one time were occupied, are now vacant. tin his draily routine through the community he was privi1el31ed to share in both the many sorrows and and little gladnesses that filled the hearts of the people whom he served, and at Christanns time there was al- ways little parcels of,gifts in many boxes for the mailman. Mr. Mains still has. some of these in his posses - siert, and will no doubt • cherish then in the years to, come. We can !imagine 'that Is is with a feeling of -regret, bath on the part of Mr. Mains and the bbxhoders of R.R. 3, that the daily acquaintance has to be severed.

Place.—Somi;where In Peraea, the province of Palestine, opposite Jtidaea, on the Eastern side of the Jordan River, In this lesson we have revealed to us the remarkable ability of the Lord Jesus to teach the profound- est spiritual truths iu the simplest form, in stories, iu parables and in sentences which are so vivid and picturesque that they stay In our minds all the Years of our lite. We remember far inore of what Jesus said than of what Paul said, This is one of the ways in v►i►ich JQsus manifests himself, as a teacher come from God. No man ever spoke as he spoke. Our Lord is here dining as a guest In the home of a Pharisee; be has just finished his remarkable discourse ou the importance of one taking a humble place when invit- ed to dinner, when, because of a superficially pious exclamation of one sitting nearby at the feast, He Wait led to give His famous par• ableof the Great Supper. Our Lord here Is going to show how feasts held in our homes 'are pictures, .we might say; of a greater and more important feast to which all men are tuvited by the grace of God, a. spiriteal feast, if partaken of, will bestow benefits for all eternity. The Great'Supper Luke 14: 15. "And when one of them that sat at meat 'th hint heard these things, die said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God." This was an edifying remarlc made by one of the Pharisee guests in an effort to turn the converastiou from what was personal and prof- itable to a vague generality which touched nobody, 16, "But he said unto him, A certain man made a great supper; and he bade many. 17. And he sent forth his servant at supper time to say to them that they were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. "The custom In our Lord's day in inviting friends to a dinner was first to issue a general invitation to them, without specifying the exact time for the banquet, and then, when . the banquet was all ready, to send out a servant who would announce of all the previously invited guests that everything was ready for their coming, It is ' inferred here that the preparation by Christ of the spiritual feast was made in a s1m. alar manner, and a similar invita- tion issued to it. They Make Excuses 18. "And they all with one con- sent began to make excuse," These people ought to have excused thane selves, it they wished, when the first invitation came. Their beg- ging off now was breaking their promise; and the excuses were transparently worthless. 18. "The first said unto him, I have bought a Held, and I must needs go out and see it; I pray thee have me unti- ed. 19, And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them; I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I havo married a wife, and there- fore I cannot come." The point of this story Is that these men thought' more of property, the pressure of business and the p1Faures of home, than they did of the privilege of being the guests of one who had . invited them. Of how many mal in their prime do these mea sone as the re reentattTee; rues 17 engrossed in the ble.r.9st b: ow- sults of the woes: that um ,,z tively do not knew that r,-ot any claims uv,a t:Ter busy with their affairs t?Iat :r reel- er once occurs to them sax'. tars, are other ahje,t; for tr. which these things e,:rl time laid aside. :The Second I reeittatier, 21, "And the serrant ovate sa!, told his Lord these things, flee. the master of the house befog g angry said to his servant, (lo o., quickly into cthe street' and Lane, of the city, and bring In hither the poor and maimed and blind and lame." . Those referred to 1n this verse, people who received the W- .., and invitation, are certainly those Jews who might be palled the pub - Beans and sinner, the unrighteous who did not observe the law. The blind had no field to view, the lame could not go along behind his oxen, the maimed had no wlte who could have hindered him from com- ing; only the feelin of poverty oould have held them back. 21. "And the servant said, Lord, what thou didst command is done, and yet there is room." In Highways and Hedges 23. "And the lord .aid unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and can train then to come In, that my house may be filled," Here of coarse the invite! tion Is extended to those outside the city which would seem to point to the Gentiles, to those who never 4 an Letters Celebrates .81st Birdiday Sir Charles G. D. Roberts, dean of Canadian letters, is shown in his Toronto study as he celebrated his 81st birthday last week, had the Law.. The giver of 'the feast expects that these houseless dwellers in the open will hold them- selves so it -worthy of the invita- tion as hardly to be persuaded that it was intended for them. 24. "For I Say unto you, that none of these men that' were bidden shall taste of my supper." Thus far Christ uses love as a compelling power to persuade men to accept the invitation offered in the Gos- pel. Now, in one short including sentence, He tries to appeal with a warning to the hearts of those who have not thus far yielded to Him. Think not to gain admission to the banquet after the door is shut, Merry Bells Ciliates are barred In Britain, to be rung only in case of invasion. But not so in less threatened. parts' of the world.

It the soil 'underneath is im- pervious clay, it will be all the better if there are several inches of gravel under the sawdust. If it is necessary to erect a special ,ice house, the roughest kind of a shed that 0011 keep out the weather is all that is necessary. Poles may be 'driven into 'the ground and lined on the inside with rough lumber or slabs, leaving a space of about three-eighths of an inch between each board, 'and the whole covered with a roof to keep out the rain.

Why won't he eat? Doctors recommend a .change of food. Some stomachs, it is true, cannot digest this and that food, and certain things will dis- agree with Jackie which IGay can digest by the plateful. With all' that, however, Jack needs to get into the habit of be- ing hungry for the good, whole- some general diet prescribed for any child of his age. In other • words, ho must develop the "ha- bit" of eating. And how is_ any habit set?

How can I prevent apples from ' wrinkling while baking in the oven? A. Slit the skin in three or four places with a knife before baking. Q. How can I treat a dish that is cracked, but not entirely broken? A. Boil the dish for about 45 minutes in enough sweet milk to cover it. Any cracks will glue 'together and become invisible. The dish will stand almost as much ordinary usage as when new. Q. How can I impart a bril- liant polish to articles of cut glass? A. , Add a little turpentine to • the water when cleaning them. Use about one tablespoon to two quarts of water. Q. How can I keep rugs from curling at the corners? A., Sew a square of card- board to each corner of the rug, and this will keep it from curl- ing. Painting the corners un- derneath will also hold 'them down flat against the floor. Q. How can I remove a glass stopper from a bottle, without breaking it, when every method seems unavailing? A. Pour a little glycerine around the neck of the stopper and let it stand until it lifts out easily. This may require a half hour or sometimes a day or two. r•M I 11•0-M►•10 4•M*•fir* e...4 •n ,► �+ What . Science'.

The waiter who served hint brought three. "Here," said the traveller, "why have you brought me three eggs? I only ordered two," "Yes, sir," said the waiter, smiling. "I know you ordered two but I brought three because I felt one of them might fail you.'? "The' belt way to fight a woman is 'with your hat." "How?" "Grab it and run." A Spitnish journalist at Burgos submits an article to the censor. One passage in particular worries the official. "I will refer it to my super- iors," he says. And he telephones: "Hullo? Rome?" A voice answers hint: "ha" "Oh, darling, look what's happened to my first pan- cake!" cried the young lady, who was learning to cook. "Never- mind, dear," said her husband; "it may not be a complete failure. Let's try it on the Victrola." Scotland provides another good story: Little Jean one day turn- ed to her mother, who was a widow. • "Mother," she said, " do you really and truly love me?"' "Of course child,", was the an- swer, "Why do you ask?" "And will you prove it to me?" "Yes, if I can." "Well, then, go and marry the man round the corner who has the sweetie shop." There would be fewer my- steries in this world if people looked into everything as closely as a woman looks in- to a mirror.

Howard, manager of the Tour. fat Bureau, Canadian National Rail- ways, The snow is fast — just made for skiers — and there are miles and miles of it in the midst of thrilling mountain scenery, he said, with a radiant sial to make it scam tillate, Bring Skates, Too With no restrictions on American citizens travelling to and within Canada and with favorable rates of exchange, one of the best sports seasons in years is now under way, Mr. Howard said. "Some of the continent's finest skiing territories radiate from Jas- per village, Alberta," stated Mr. Howard, "where up to five months of the year powder snow condi- tions, so desirable or good skiing, may be relied upon." Take the Maligne Lake territory, for in.. stance, he •said. On arrival at Jas- per station in the early afternoon, skiers travel by motor car to Medi- cine Lake, transfer to snowmobile for a short • trip across the lake, then by team and sleigh to Maligne Lake chalet and be there 1n time for evening" dinner, "There is al- ways plenty of snow in this nigh country,' kept fresh by periodic falls of light powder snow" he stat- ed, "and a competent ski instruc- tor is in residence at Maligne Lake chalet." Skiers should include. in their equipment a pair of skates, as Mal- igne Lake is also the ideal winter setting for skating, stated Mr. I-fow- ard, "Skiers at the chalet may round oitt their day's recreation by indulging in this enjoyable sport for'an hour or so in the even• ing," he said, Correct Size Of Furnace Is Vital if Unit Too Small Home Heating Costs Move Upward Why does a furnace that is too small for the house it's in con- sume more fuel than one of pro, per size? Heating engineers say it is literally true that an inadequate furnace will burn more coal than a larger one that- will do a better heating job. The inadequate furnace also is more liable to re- quire repairs. WASTE HEAT UP CHIMNEY The small furnace must "work" harder trying to heat the home. As a result the firepot and grates burn out sooner and must be re- placed. When a furnace is kept too hot the castings tend to burn out and the metal slowly changes to iron cinder. After that it will no trane- mit heat as rapidly as one with "live" metal, That means shovel- ing in more a,pd more coal and getting less heat. Each square inch of heating surface gives off just so much heat. If there aren't enough square inches, not enough heat can be radiated to heat the home. The waste heat just goes up the chimney. An acre of ground can, it is estimated, provide sufficient veg- etables for forty people. ••-•. 4 -a --•-:0-x-1 • 4-4 4.0-9-0- 0,41.41-1.-0-4-0 HEALTH TOPICS .•-4-H-`•-o-+Ft0+1-ft ti --t •-es si4•I- How To Prevent Moulds In Food Mould growth in foods is not usually dangerous. In many cases the formation of mould in food in- creases its palatability. For ex- ample, some kinds of cheese, such as Roquefort, Limburger, Brie and Camembert, are eaten only after extensive inoiild growth has taken place. The characteristic flavour and smell of t' ase cheeses are due to the substances formed by the particular species of mould. What are moulds? Tl'^y are groups of "ny plants so small that the individual structures can be seen only with the aid of a micro- scope. They develop from spores which are similar to the seeds of the higher plants. The spore is the reproducti- - element of one of the lower organisms or plants, Different Types Tho commoner moulds go by the names of Mucor, Penicillium or As- pergillus, The 'white or slightly woolly patches seen on the surface of meat in cold storage Is due to a mould or fungus known as the snorotrichum carrnis. The spores or seeds of moulds are hard to kill; they can with- stand unfavourable conditions for days and- when given favourable conditions such as food, a temper- ature neither too hot nor too cold, moisture and in some cases oxy- gen, will live for a long time. Mould on top of jams, jellies and preserves is unsightly, but not harmful and the same is true of moulds on bread and other foods. Mould growth nay be prevented by maintaining foods at medium temperatures, anis by ]seeping them free from moisture. Homemade sausage may, be kept from mould- ing by dippiug the sans -age in melt- ed fat. When cool, the fat forms an impervious coating and. resists the growth of mould. World's Coldest Place Soviet scientists have just dis- covered that the coldest spot in the world is neither the North nor South Pole, That unenviable dis- tinction, they claim, belongs to Oi-Mekon, in Siberia. It is said that water thrown from a buck- et out of a first -floor window freezes before reaching the ground. But the inhabitants don't mind at all; in fact they complain of the "fustiness" in Moscow! At the other extreme is Death Valley, California, where the temperature of 134 degress Fa- hrenheit was recently recorded. This terrific heat is caused by the valley being surrounded by rocks, which hold the heat as the sun beats down, and radiate it, mak- ing Death Valley the most unin- viting spot in the world. There is no vegetation in the valley, and no one has ever been known to live there.

Brief Presented At Farmers Convention At London On behat of the group of farmers assembled in Olinton on January 9th, I would ask you to convey to the Hon- ourable Mr, Gardiner our appreciation for this meettng he has arranged be- twleeu the Dominion and Ontario De- partments of Agriculture and repre- sentatives of Ontario farm ogendza- tdons re: Agricultural production for war requirements. On aeoou.nt of the fact that this Meeting has been called on very short notice and because in our opinion agri• culture is facing a national crisis, we have taken the privilege of assuming that you, sir, desire an . exlprerssion of - " opinion' from the farmers of Huron .County as to how Agriculture may be .'1.i I►wve,.p..IWr • THE COUNTY OF HURON (Written soave years ago by G. A, Newton of Toronto an old Huron Boy) and read at the last meeting of the Local Women's Institute,• The County of Huron, we're all proud to say Hae turned out the noblest men of our day; A number from Huron have "Sir" to their name A.nld others have climbed up the ladder of fame, The old county town produced men ot renown— Messrs,. Robentson, Cameron. Proudf'oot and Ross; Mao Garfow and Beck. who ran neck ani neck You hardy could= tell which of these was the "boss." The bighest positing that Canada gives Are filled by the men who_in Huron have Jived, In the army are Generals, in Parliament men When election is over may be Premier then. • The county of Huron, we are harpy to state Is going ahead at a very good rate; And with the inducements that Huron can give There is no place in Canada better to live, • When I went to that county I was' but a lad, "Twas hard then to get there, the roads were so back. We "staged" it from Stratford with a pian called Warner, And ,stopped, at a place called Rattenlrury Corner, It was.then but a hamlet at that time you know, But in a. few years yoke should see that place grow; It soon got to be quite a place of renown Se they 'called the place Clinton --that's Bob Holmes town. There are several more towns in that county that thrive -- There are Bayfield and Brussels, and Wingham and Blyth They all had their heroes and were delighted, to own Such as Stanbury, Doc Graham McDonald and Sloan. There's the old town of Wingham, it's qure no disgrace To tell any person you came from that place, For the citizens titers fairly "boost" their own town, And so long as they do it will never go down, There are people in Wingham we must admit, Who are fit for positions t'ney may never get; There are Vansrtlone and Spotton, who are still on the shelf J. A. Menton, D. Holmes (and I lived there myself.) There's the village of Blyth, the inthe..strial hive The people who lived there jest made the place thrive, For there were men at the head of affairs like McNally, McKinnon Doc. Milne the Sloane and Pat Kelly. Then there's Exeter town, I know little about But it must be a good one by t'he men they turn out, For Cob'bie'dick, Crocker and Hodgson we own Could make a real place ot any old town, They talk of big men that we have In the land, But Goderich canboast of what none other can, They hart the biggest -the tallest the smallest in sight; Jonathan Miller, W.-Mtirney and Joseph J. Wright. Did we not mention Seaforth, it would not be fair For many a prominent man came from there; Such as Govenlock, Wilson Scott Prenden?t•ast Gray Who've made the place famous' in many a way. The soil of the coenty is the very best, It has been tried every way and stood every testi For all kinds of geain and other things grow; And its apples are famous wherever they go, There were farmens up there whom we know very well— John McMillan, Joe Fisher and Humphrey• Snell; They were breeders of horsea piss cattle and sheep And none but the very best kind would they keep.

TONER Federation of 'Ontario Anglers (NO. 25) .MUSEUM EXHIBITS - In my article last week I told how the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology was developed with the aid of the collections of the University of Toronto and the Normal School, , Other institu- tions and individuals contributed also to the growth of the R. 0. Id, Z, An important collection of Canadian material came from Dr, . J. H. Garnier, a naturalist - physician of Lucknow, Ontario, This collection, received by the University of Toronto Museum in 1891, was especially rich in 'amphibians and reptiles, but con- tained some birds and mammals as well. Just last week I exam- ined some of the reptiles collect- ed by Dr. Garnier, in connection with work I am doing. This illus- trates how important' these . old collections are to present ,day students for in his material are creatures now almost extinct in Ontario. Canadian Animals Preferred The 1:oyal Canadian Institute was another important contribu- tor to'the Royal Ontario Museum. This institution was founded in 1849 and built up a collection of natural history objects which were greatly increased in 1885 when the amalgamation of the Natural History Society of To- ronto occurred. This society had a considerable collection of birds and mammals that were added to the Museum of the Institute and the whole transferred to the R. 0. M. in 1924. In 1914 when the Royal On- tario Museum of Zoology was created the zoological collections were given a gallery on the top floor of the original museum building on Bloor street, Toron- to, and the staff started to build up the exhibits. In the selection of material, preference was given to Canadian animals, although many exotics such as parrots, birds of paradise and foreign game birds were included. The exhibit, as finally assembled, in - eluded a fairly representative collection of the birds of Cana- da, a much less adequate repre- sentation . of Canadian mammals and .a,..yery poor collection of fishers; 'annphibians, reptiles and lnverteh{'ates; It was, soon found that a public tntisetini needed more exhibits so taxidermists were em- ployed , to add many animals to the mounted groups. Dr, E. M. Walker, now head of the De- partment of Biology at the Uni- versity of Toronto, prepared a aeries of exhibits of the inverte- ' orates,' the insects, worms, .spid- ars and. other creatures of the waters and soils. "' Air -Conditioned Doghouse Made Now conies the air-conditioned doghouse, Milton Worth, Deal, N.J., fire truck driver, spent $65 and three weeks of spare time building the canine cottage for a pair of hounds he expects to buy.

The son of a beau- tiful and impulsive woman and a powerful munitions -king, he was privileged to live behind the scenes of world events -- in Riv- iera villas, feudal castles, Parisian salons, and Thames -aide manors. His path crossed the threads of Sir Basil Zaharofi's web; he took part in the Peace Conference and watched Woodrow Wilson try to remake the map of Europe; he talked with Lincoln Steffens and learned through him of Soviet Rus- sia. The story of Lanny Budd males. s. novel in the great narrative tra• dation, but more than that it sum- marizes an era. It is the intimate record — told frequently in terms of the real-life participants — of a great world which tell victim to its own civilization and whose death march was the. overture to a new world about to be born.

W EE K—Commentary on Current Events • Roosevelt Asks U. S. To Risk War For Democracies "We Americans are vitally concerned in your defense of freedom . . . Weshall send you, in ever-increasing num- bers, ships, planes, tanks, guns. This le our purpose and our pledge," it At a Moment "unprecedented in the history of the Union," Presi- dent Roosevelt last week made bis initial address to the new seventy- seventh Congress of the United States in which he called for full material aid to the embattled de- mocracies o-mocracies (Britain, Greece, China —but chiefly Britain), asked for "authority and funds" to produce more munitions and war supplies to be "leased -lent" to countries lighting the Axis. U. S. Involvement Likely The face• of the United States was now set in the direction of war. If Congress should grant the President's pleas, the U. S. rapidly would find itself on a war footing with increased chances of the na- tion becoming a belligerent. Speaking at the University of North Carolina, former U. S. Am- bassador to France William C. Bull- itt declared that the United States in aiding Britain, Greece and China would be taking the risk of war, but, ho said, -"we know what the consequences of totalitarian vic- tory would be for us" — there would be a tougher war to fight later. Sea Power, The Hub Sea power would continue to be the hub upon which the British cause revolved. Obviously active steps would have to be taken very soon to protect transport to Bri- tain of American production. The United States would have, in some way, to furnish more trans-Atlantic shipping aid -- most likely through American naval escorts for con- voys. In all likelihood it would be accomplished by the division of the U. S. Navy into three fleets—At- lantic, Pacific and Asiatic—only one of which would he involved directly in aiding Britain. ' Long War Likely The possibility strengthened dur- ing the week that the war would develop into a long one. A quick decision, an early end to the con- flict could come in only two ways: through. a successful invasion of England by Hitler — but • neutral military experts believed the odds were too heavily against him; through a negotiated peace — but President Roosevelt categorized such an eventuality as "nonsense." * Germany Takes. Over As a potent factor in the war, Italy, by virtue of the sweeping British victories in North Africa and the Greek counter-attacks in Albania, would soon be 'out,' it was believed in most quarters last week, But quickly as ,Italian military power was fading in the Mediter- ranean, just as swiftly were Ger- man strategists, diplomats, tech- nicians preparing to take over Italy's job of cleaning up on the Balkans, driving towards the Near East and Suez. Putting On The Screws First, the Nazis set going a gi- gantle propaganda movement in southeastern Europe,. designed, ac- cording to New York Times' cor- respondent Gedye, to keep the populations of the Balkan , states in a state of jitters. Then they sent troops by the hundreds of thousands to line practically every Balkan border — from the Black Sea along the Bulgarian border; 'up the Yugoslav frontier and con- centrated in -.the southern prov- inces of Rustrla; along the Rus- sian frontiers of Rumania and in Hungary. Then they re -opened with increasing force their diplomatic offensive against Bulgaria and Yugoslavia, to draw them Into signing a pact with the Axis and permitting passage of troops down into Greece. Simultaneously, the Germans sent tanks into Albania to stem the Greek advance; poured thous- ands of troops into Italy to bo ready to take over should the Fate chit regime of Mussolini fall. * * Farmers Meet The eyes of the people ot Ontario were fixed during the week upon two events of major. political Im-u} portance In the Dominion — the Conference in Ottawa' on the Row- ell-Sirols Report; and the meeting in London, Ontario, of Federal Min- ister of Agriculture Gardiner with Ontario farm representatives to confer on a minimum price for but- ter. The formation of a nonpartisan farmers' union under provincial government auspices was expected at an early date, (The Gov- ernment is alarmed about the situ- ation in Ontario, where farmers, resentful over the reduction of prlc• es for' hogs, butter, ..;nilk, :cream. and other products, are liquidaaing their herds and selling their breed- ing stock), No 'New Provincial Taxes Good news for Ontarioana: In a New Year's message to The Whrd- ser Star, Premier Mitchell F. Hep- burn declared that the best con- tribution to the war effort the province could make was to main- tain Ontario's sound financial posi- tion. At the same time ho pledged that his budget for the fiscal year commencing•'April 1 next, would include no new taxes, no inereas� es in present taxation and no low- ering of existing taxation exemp- tions, Ontario -Born Artists' Show Paintings of Tom Thomson and Horatio Walker. Are Being Shown In a Special Exhibition at the Art Gal- lery of Toronto in January The Art Gallery of Toronto is featuring during the: ' month of January special exhibitions of the paintings of Tom Thomson and Horatio Walker. These two men, both horn in Ontario small towns, had very different careers. Both started in commercial art houses in To- ronto and left them to devote all their time to painting, Walk- er travelled in Europe and the United States: Thomson stuck to Algonquin Park and the north country. Walker settled on the Island of Orleans and painted the life of the habitants: Thomson did not bring people into his pic- tures but was always completely absorbed in nature, expressing* the brilliant colour and forceful impact he felt in the Canadian wilderness, Both , were self- taught but the influences affect - them, the friends they made, the artistic . forces which moulded them, were completely unrelated. Walker painted in the tradition of the Barbizon school , while Thomson worked out a highly decorative and stylized form, of expression all his own. Walker was one of the` most successful painters in America and his can- vasses, many of them purchased. in his lifetime, come to the ex- hibition from different sources, from public and private collect- ions in Washington, New Yorl:, Pittsburg, St. Louis and various Canadian cities. Ho died at the age of 82 in 1938. Before his. untimely death in 1917 Thomson was known only to a few artists, but his reputation has continued to grow until now there is no Canadian painter who is more universally admired; City of Caverns Old London, in these times, would be fortunate if the city were constructed as Parisais, for the French capital is built largely of stone brought, not from far distant provinces, but from under the very ground on which it stands. Because of this, there is a ready - •made underground city about one-tenth the size of Paris. One section of this cave contains the Catacombs, where rest the bones of some six million. Another zone consists of vast !layers, of gypsum or plaster stone. The Q'uarry Service has cut into this sector tunnels which follow ac- curately the courses of the aven- ues, above.. Ordance maps have been made of this system, show- ing springs, galleries, rooms, arches, pillars and reinforcements. Had the government of France decided to defend the city, the people could have occupied this underground fortress and defied Hitler's bombers till Doomsday, REG'LAR FELLERS — For Emergencies Only NOW i WANT YOU BOYS TO_ BEHAVE 1rOURSELVES!

As someone onto put it—it Is easier to warm one- self up than to cool oneself down. Ohe reason why • we do not ex- actly welcome our annual spells of below -zero weather is that we have not yet learned to dress properly, In 'the Northwest Ter- ritories and in Siberia 50 below is not uncommon. Yet travelers tell us that people in those places suf- fer far less discomfort than we do when it Is a mere five below, That is because they dress for it, Walking down the main street of any Canadian city with the ther- mometer registering minus 30, the average city -bred Canadian looks pretty much like the average Lon- doner or New .

Sleep for Months it you want to sleep all through the winter, run along to. a special- ist and have your pituitary glands cut out, Men who have made glands their life study say that it is mere- ly a lack of pituitary secretion which causes certain animals to hibernate through the dark months, and that It they are given Wee. tions of pituitary extract they would wake up and become live- ly. All experiments so far have been conducted on hibernating ani- mals, and it is not known for cer- taiu whether the same effect would • be produced on human beings suf- fering from sleepy sickness, it is thought unlikely, for this sickness is the result of a germ, Pituitary extracts, however, have worked wonders for people who aro un• nat..rally sluggish and find it dif- ficult to concentrate.

Pearly Teeth Decay Faster Dental Research Shows Vital Facts About Tooth Deterior. ation • Flashing white teeth may have more appeal, but mottled chalky - appearing ons require far fewer trips to the dentist, according to Dr. Wallace D. Armstrong, pro- fessor of physiological chemistry and dentistry: at the University of Minnesota, • • -Mottled teeth,, Dr. Armstrong said, show a greater resistance to , decay. - Data obtained from -seven years of research in a hitherto neglected field show promise of devloping an effective technique in the prevention - of - tooth decay --an affliction affecting more people than any other chronio • disease. . , - FLUORINE BELIEVED KEY Dr. Armstrong's. experiments have revolved around the theory that the' cause of dental caries -- decay -- lies in a deficiency of fluorine, an extremely - active' chemical'. • substance when present as a gas in the enamel of teeth. Higli fluorine content, Dr. Arlt• strong said, .tends to • mottle the enamel.. Citing the work of H. T, Trind- ley Dean, dental surgeon of U.S. Public Health Service, in proving the direct relationship between mottled teeth and resistance to decay, Dr. Armstrong said his experiments conclusievly demon- strated that the amount of fluor- ine in sound teeth is greater than amount in carious teeth, "We have examined so many specimens," he said, "that the probability of error is about one in five million." • Controlled administration of fluorine in childhood would "vir- tually eliminate" tooth decay, Dr. Armstrong believes.
