HOW CAN' I? Q. How tau I ' prevent stains when ironing over a spot on which " peroxide has been applied to re- move scorch? •' A. Do not ' iron directly on the spot moistened with peroxide, as this leaves rust stains on the gar- ment. Place a clean dry clotk, over the spot and iron with 'a medium warm iron, replacing the top cloth when the peroxide: soaks through. - Q. How can I save time when sifting flour? A. When necessary to sift flour three or four times, do it on '.a sheet of clean paper. It is much easier to pour the flour back into the sifter from a piece of paper than from •a bowl • or other vessel. Q. How can I make a good dressing for salads? A. Roquefort cheese dressing is .delicious when used on salads. To make it add one tablespoonful of crumbled Roquefort to regular French' dressing. Q. How can • I remove the re- maining lacquer when it begins te.. peel on metals, such as brass and ~" copper? A. Use a little denatured alco- hol The metal should, of course, be cleaned of all old lacquer and well polished, clenlaed, and dried, before 'refinishing with new lac- quer., Q. How ac- uer.HOW ".._ .: . can I' avoid having a hiimp in the centre of a table- cloth? A.

SCIENCE IS DOING INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL • Because of an entirely ,differ- ent set of economic . conditions, European pulp . mills are making 'one hundred gallons of industrial alcohol a Year from the waste liquors -of their six million tons of sulphite pulp production. I cite this as but one example of the path that lies ahead in developing the chemical values in our trees. The after.-the'war chemical pos- sibilities for wood are by no means limited to alcohol. We catch some glimpse of the future by looking into -the`: Germans' economy under wartime duress, where their military . trucks are propelled by wood gas, wherei' the citizens eat beef fed . on cattle fodder made from wood ceIlulose. Our nation's chemical industry will look more and , more to the - trees as a source of its raw ma- terials, because timber is a 'crop' and: trees are renewable.

The Krupps mines at Essen. says Dr. Beaumont, have used ultraviolet baths in the early days of the Hitler- regime.

Their job is to deliver can - teed stocks to ships at sea and to collect empties. Recently one old coxswain was detailed to take a launch fresh from the stocks and deliver her to her Scottish base by way of the Channel. and the East Coast. Be- ' fore he left, he was warned . of the difficulties of the voyage, and told, "She won't drown you, but she might starve you."
