WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
PLASTIC GOGGLES
A new type of industrial goggle -
mask has. been patented by the
supervising optician at one of the
British Royal Ordnance Filling
Factories, The mask is made of
cellulose acetate sheet about 1-6
in. thick, which has been found
to resist lead slugs fired at point-
blank range from an air rifle,
Tho slugs were flattened and the
acetate was only dented. A
goggle -')task gave highly satisfac-
tory results when tested againet
an explosion produced by 60
times the amount of explosive
which had been known to cause
some of the eye casualties.
Tho new goggles are of a very
protective design, butfree from
curtailment of vision and distor-
tion, and as they weigh as little
as 2 ozs. they can he worn with-
out fatigue.
INFLUENZA
Against the ever-present medi-
cal spectre of another world-wide
Influenza epidemic, as catastro-
phic as that in 1918 which killed
some 20 million peolpe, the Brit-
ish Lancet and The Journal of
the American Medical .Association
have just sounded a comforting
note, Newsweek points out,
They declared that even if in-
fluenza should again run riot on
a global scale, mortality will
likely be far lower than in the
last war, For in the 1918- out-
break most of the deaths were
due, not directly to influenza or-
ganisms, but to secondary bac-
terial infections of the respiratory
tract (pneumonia, for example)
for which Infl;aecza 1'ad pared the
way.
'['hough no reaily affective
treatment for influenza itself has
been developed since 1918, there
are new and proved remedies for
the killing of secondary '.nfec-
tlons—the sulfa drugs and speci-
fic' bacterial anti -scrums which
already have cut their toll.
Greetings By Air
More than 3,000,000 airgraph

Modern Etiquette
By Roherte Lee
1, Is it obligatory that refresh-
ments of some kind be furnished
after a wedding rehearsal?
2. isn't it bad manners to let
one's mind wander while some-
one i8 talking tvitll you.
3, 1 f a person asks you how
old you are, or what your salary
is, or some such question, what
should you reply?
4. For what use only is the nap-
kin at the dinner table?
5. When a customer in a shop
is buying something that is not
being worn the current season,
shouldn't the saleswoman tell
her?
f. When asking as person to
repeat a remark is it all right to
say "What?" or "I beg your par-
don, what did you shay:"'
ANSWERS
1. It is a nice thing to do. The
refreshments are usually served
after the rehearsal al the home
of the bride, or the groom invites
the little party of attendants to
some eating place, 2, Yes. One
should strive to be a good listen-
er, though it is often difficult
when the speaker is an egoist,
or describing in detail his last
operation. 3. "There are some
questions that I prefer not to
answer." it is only a very rude,
tactless person who would ask
such questions. •l. Only for wip•
ing the lips. It is not for the
cheeks, perspiration or the nose.
The napkin should be lifted ata
inconspicuously as possible to the
mouth and lightly brushed across
the mouth, and then replaced
upon the lap. 5, It is better not,
unless the customer asks the
direct question, 6. No; ''I'm sorry,
but I didn't understand" is )ouch
more courteous,

Q. How can I make beef juice?
A. Cut fresh raw beef up into

Might Kill Menace
With Faster Ships
Vice -Admiral Craig Waller
In London Daily Telegraph
No one, so far as 1 am aware,
has attempted to controvert my
claims:
(a) That we can practically kill
the l' -boat menace by building
cargo ships and hankers of 16
knots or 1nore instead of concen-
trating on the shapeless "ugly
duckling" 1 0-knotter, The fast
ship would he easily manoeuv'r'ed
in a tight situation and would
hold her speed in rough weather.
She would deliver her cargo in
half the tittle of the slow ship,
atrtd fewer ships, therefore, would
he required to do the job.
(b) That aircraft are useless
either as protector's of cargo ships
or destroyers of submarines at
night or in thick weather, and,
moreover, Lack the potent wea-
pons of the rain and the heavy
Q.F, gun with which to kill the
U-boat.
Experts have convinced me that
the design and construction of
fast cargo vessels and tankers by
masa production methods is a
practical proposition, and that

Queen Elizabeth, writes Leonard
Lyons 111 The New York Post. The
publisher )ng'aged hint in con-

the British fur their failure to

that the problem is a constantly

continued to criticize the British

Gasoline Rationing PO
III Ind I, 1. .11 1 1 11 1,11 YiM 1.4 1111,1
Goes into Effect
pRdb aRr
ON MARCH 31 the present gasoline
ration licenses and coupons will ex-
pire, and no gasoline will be sold except upon
the presentation of a 1943-1944 ration book.
In his own interests, every vehicle owner is
asked to apply at once for a new gasoline
license and ration coupon book for each of
his vehicles,
Under the new system, effective April 1, all
commercial vehicles will be rationed. All non-
commercial vehicles will be granted a basic
"AA" gasoline license and ration coupon
book, containing 40 coupons for a passenger
car, or 16 for a motorcycle. Owners of non-
commercial vehicles eligible for a special
category, who can prove their need, will
be granted an extra vocational allowance,
fixed in advance for the year ending
March 31, 1944.
The extra allowance for a special category
car will be tailored to meet individual needs.
In determining this allowance the pre-
vious category and mileage of the car will
not be considered, Instead the vocational
allowance will be based on two factors:
(1) The gravity of the oil shortage with which
Canada is faced, and (2) the importance of
the vehicle to its owner in a country at war.
The extra vocational coupons will be issued
in books labelled "Special", and each such
book will contain not more than 60 coupons.
Only one "Special" book, or portion of such
book, will be issued at a time, and hence the
case history of each special category applicant
will be under constant review.
Under provisions of the rationing order,
the Oil Controller will have the right to re-
fuse any application for a special category, or
to suspend any ration book for an infraction
of the regulations.
Livery motor vehicle, other than a motor-
cycle, trust bear on its windshield a sticker
indicating its category. After April 1, service
station attendants will not be permitted to
serve gasoline to a car which docs not bear
the sticker which corresponds to the ration
book submitted at the time of the purchase.
To obtain a gasoline license and ration
coupon book, secure an application form at
your nearest Post Office. Study the form and
follow the instructions contained therein.
When you receive your ration coupon book,
guard it carefully. It may not be replaced if,
because of your negligence, it is lost or
stolen. Do not leave it in your car; keep it
on your person at all times,

NOTICE!
The new system, unlike that of las
year, will call for strict rationing c`
all commercial vehicles, Including
ftu^ln tucks, within two classes. The
Met, "'transit", will cover ambulan•
ccs, buses, taxis, and drive -yourself
gars. The second, Send,:c,o," will be
sub -divided Into four categories: (len
el'al Ca:nntercial," "Limited Connect
sial," "Commercial Motorcycle,'
„Other Commercial."
sold
Lander this rationing of commercial
veltfoles, the owner will have his al-
lowance pared down to bare, eascnt:0I
needs, and thus wilt find it necessary
to eliminate unnecessary trips, drive
slowly, and 1n every other way con-
serve gasoline.
Farm trucks, will be classed as
"Limiter: C'onuncrcial," and will b;
allowed no more, and perhaps leis,
than 1:;'I to 371 units per year, ac-
cording to the weight of the vehicle
when empty and the proved recpuire•
meths of the owner,
The nelw plant will make it unneces-
sary for the preferred category appli-
cant to decide what category' he may
,expect to receive; instead he will 011
out either a "Commercial" or a "Spe-
cial' form, and will he granted what-
ever allowance may be Justified.
it will abolish the classlfiealion of
passenger chi's according to weight,
land thus will enol the provision under
which a higher allowance was +wanted
for heavier, more costly aotatnobiles,
11 will make manda:ory for every
truck and car to bear 1a windshield
sticker, indicating its category. Cars
belonging to AIRtP workers and one
ployoe driver's ander the \\'art:me In-
dustrial Transit Plan, will hear respec-
tively either an A3t.P or a WIT sticker.
Like that of the holder of a prefer -
,red category, the case of eac'1 Cnlll-
1 mercial vehicle owner will be con -
1 stanbly under review by the Regional
( Office which approved the com'nercial
application. At the outset of the new
rationing year, the owner of each
commercial vehicle will be told how
many units he will be allowed, and
will be gritted two 004901 books,
each containing no more than 100
units. When he u.aes up has first
hook, he will send in the cover to the
Regional 011 Control Office wit^re lila
application was approved, and if eligib-
le, may be supplied with a new hook,
or portion of a book. At this Regional
Office the book will he recoil:rtl on a
multi -card tabulating index, from
which the Office will be able to deter-
mine at a glance how touch each
commercial vehicle In the diarist has
been using. When the ope:•at01' has
e'chtutsted his yearly allotment, lie will
receive no more books.
To obtain his Category "A.\" book
tine motor vehicle owner will ,secure 1111
application form from his nearc.t Po.t
Office, hie will submit this force, to:
gcther with a registration fee of $1
and his 1913 vehicle license, to the
uoarest issuer of provincial license
plates, who 1%1,11 irate the "AA" book.
The owner of a passenger vehicle
(other than, a commercial motorcycle,
bus, taxicab, or drive -yourself car)
who is eligible by reason of occupation
to apply for 1t preferred category will
proceed as follows:
1, From his neare.J I'' 1 Office he

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
lime --. ,i; nu,u•y, A.D. 30.
Place --Tine home of Mary and
Martha, in the village of Bethany,
Which is over the ridge on the
eastern slope of the Mount of
Olives, opposite Jerusalem,
"\Tartha, therefore, when she
heard that Jesus was coming,
went and met him; but Mary still
sat 'n the house. Martha there-
fore said unto Jesus, Lord, if
Thou hadst been here, nay broth-
er had not died. And even now
1 know that, whatsoever 'Thou
shalt ask of God, God will give
Thee," The characteristic, of
those two sisters are evident.
Mary, the quieter of the two, and
the more meditative, remains in
the home while Martha, as soon
as she hero's that the Lord is conn-
ing, goes out to meet Him. Mary
knows that whatever Christ might
ask of God, He would grant
which means that she believes
Christ, even now, can raise her
brother from the dead.
Resurrection and Life
"Jesus saith unto her, Thy
brother shall rise again, Martha
saith unto 1100, i know that he
shall rise ilg'ain in the resurrec-
tion of the last day. Jesus said
unto her, I ani the resurrection,
and the life; he that believeth on
me, though he die, yet shall he
live." The word "resurrection" is
to be taken in its widest sense,
so that it is true to say that life
results from resurrection, and
resurrection from life, to the be-
l'ever. He mist share Christ's
Lfe in order to have the pew er
within him of the testn:ecllon
from the grave t 1 th endless
life, and by sharing Christ's risen
life now in faith 1'" is in fact
eh en with Christ, and independent
of every future change death of
the body itself, ,incl shit be kept
from endless death,
Believing in Christ
'And whosoever liveth and be-
lieveth on me shall never die. Be-
lievest thou this? She saith unto
Hina, Yea. Lord, I have believed
that Thou art the Christ, the son
of God, even he that cometh into
the world." Note particularly
how Christ seems to emphasize,
above everything else, the im-
portance of believing in Him.
Compassion for Mary
"And when she had said this,
she went away. and called Vary
her sister'-ecretly, saybiir, The
Teacher is here, and calleth thee.
And she, when she heard it, arose
quickly, .Incl went unto hien. Mary
therefore, when she came where
Jesus was, .u1d saw him, fell down
at his feet, saying unto hits, Lord,
if thou hoist been here. my
hroter hart not died." No doubt,
Mary and \iarth:I had continually
talked about the Lord', ranine
to the house, before Lazarus had
died, and hid 111th concluded that,
should the Lord come, their broth-
er would be healed. This may lie -
count for the fact that her words
to Christ arc identical with those
of her sister.
"When .Jesus therefore raw•
her weepii ., and the Jews also
weeping who came e itis her, he
groaned in the spirit. and '•vaC
troubled. and said, "Where have
ye laid hi n". •Tiley say unto him.
Lord, cense :ld kee. Jesus wept."

"So they took away the -tone,
and Jesus lifted up his eyes, and
said, ]rather, i thank 'Thee that
Thou heardest one. And I knew
that thou hearest ale always; But
because of the multitude that
standeth around I said it, that
they may believe that Thou didst

sciousness of Isis unity with God,
of fulfilling the Father's mission
and purpose, He thanks the Fath-
er for the opportunity given Him
of setting forth the glory of God.

arus, come forth, lie that was

this resurrection call cnrr•sponds
tvith the mighty effect. The great
voice or shout, from One tvho was
wont to ,leak SO gently and quiet-

An Experiment
In Feeding Hogs
Vitamin Deficiency Dis-
cussed by The. Winnipeg
Frcc Press
The current vitamin craze may
he strongly tinged with faddism,
but the new interest tint is being
aroused in the life-giving quali-
ties of oto' foods is ;all to the good
none the les=. We are discovering
at last that our health depends
not on how much we eat, but
what we eat.
The havoc which vitamin de-
''iciency can wreak was 1•eel'lltly
shown very vividly in 'Texas with
an experiment in pig breeding.
There is a lesson for humans to
learn from these experiments,
During the height of the dust
bowl years, two litters of pigs in
separated communities were bort
blind, The authorities set out to
discover the reason, Experiments
were conducted in hog dict, One
diet was devised which was com-
pletely devoid of Vitamin A.
Sows fed on this diet farrowed
'piles which were not only blind
but which had 110 ryes.
in one experiment, a sow be -
cane too weak to stand. She was
given one dose of cod liver oil, in
eight hours she w'as standing
again. When her pigs were born
they were blind but had rudimen-
tary eyes. The experiments were
carried a step further, The pigs
which were born eyeless were
interbred and put on vitamin A
diets, In every case their offspring
had sound eyes and eyesight.
The conclusion which can be
drawn from this experiment is
clear, Many of the defects in our
bodies can be often attributed to
the diets of our mothers. The
mothers of today who take care
of their diets are more likely to
produce babies with better ho(lies,
sounder organs and a chance for
a healthier life than those who
regard modern science as new-
fangled nonsense,

Jinn had brought her hack to the

The Grain Field
Products made front grains
such as wheat, oats, rye, barley,

eitls,
1'11(111' {5 one of the cereal prod -
uses and bread made from flour
is one of the main items in our
meals. Cereals and Mead are the
cheapest foods in our diet. That
is wily a generous amount is in-
cl1,d1ed in thL literature prepared
met recommended by the ('ana-
d{an fled Cross.
The amount of food value we
get front bread and cereal in re-
turn for (money depends 00:
(a) the kind w0 buy
(61 the forma in which we buy
it.
Loth points are important, but
particularly the first one.
Refined cereals such as white
flout' have had the most valuable
parts of the grain taken away.
When we cat white bread we are
not getting the most health-giv•,
ing parts of the grain. Whole
grain products have Vitamin 11
which is needed for good health
1111d growth, and iron for the
blood.
This is 1110 reason doctors
recommend that everyone have at
least half whole wheat bread and
whole gratin cereals in the dint,
The less stoney you have for food
the more whole wheat bread you
should buy. However, even if
you have unlimited money you
should still buy half whole grain
products. You can start, today
buying bettor health for your
family by following the above
su.ggcsti0115.
1Vhen the food budget is lim-
ited it. is cheaper to buy the cer-
eals in bulk.
Even in the summer the chil-
dren need a dish of hot cereal at
breakfast. A certain amount of
care is required to produce a
tasty dish of cereal. Cereal that
is lutlpy and has no salt does not
appeal to the child and may be
the cause of his dislike of this
nourishing' food.
Following are. general direc-
tions for cooking' some of the
common cereals:
Lightly grease the pan (up-
per two inches) in which cereals
are to 1)0 cooked. This prevents
boiling' over.
2, Have water boiling,. and add
salt.
3. Sprinkle cereal gradually
into the boiling water. Cool; 5
minutes.
-1. Plttee in double boiler or
slightly larger saucepan filled
two-thirds full of hoiling water.
Cereals may be partly cooked
the night before. 1'o prevent skin
forming cover with thin layer of
cold water.
To Suye feel eoi)k cereal as
directed for 5 Minutes. Place
over boiling water, remove from
stove, wrap up well and put itt
warns place.
All cereals may be cooked in
fireless masker.
('sacked wheat, whole brown

MRS. JENNINGS had been just managing to
keep her family going. But things were look-

able to help with the housework, she had
applied for the post of school teacher ; ; ;
and had been accepted.
But that meant she needed suitable clothes
and clothes cost money.
She took her problem to the manager of
her hank. On the strength of her ability and
character, he arranged a loan of $80. And so
it was that she was able to take the position
and greet her first class proudly. She paid
off the loan after six months at a cost in
interest of only $2.40.
This is a true story. Only the name has
