Have You Heard? A filling station man answered, the distress call of a stalled car some few miles down the road. Arriving at the : scene, he found the fluttering female driver, pull- ing and jerking and peeringbut to no avail. His brief once-over revealed that the car was out of gas. - "Oh," sighed the lady with re- lief, "I'm so glad that's the only trouble. But do you suppose it would hurt if I drove',holne on an empty tank'?" Doctor: I'm Dr. Peter, and you havejust regained con- sciousness after the 'crash. Motorist: Oh, For a sec- ond you gave _ me such a shock. 1 thought you said you were St. Peter! Not being fit for military ser- vice, a little man tried for a job as a striker in a blacksmith's shop, After looking him over the smith picked up the biggest, ham- nser and threw it out of the win-, dow, saying: "If you can do this, you can start work."' The little man picked up the anvil and threw it after' the ham- mer, saying: "O.K., are we work-' ing outside?" Teacher: "Whet is a rab,. bit?" Johnny: "Dad says it's an animal that grows the fur thatother animals get credit for when it is made into a coat." He sat fidgeting and nervous in the nolicitoir's waiting -room. A clerk entered. "I say," said the client, beck - ening to hint. "I have an appoint. went with the solicitor at. ten o'clock. It's about a 'legacy."' "And how long have you been waiting?" "Twenty years!" replied the other.

Bntclja :of. Portland, Ore. ' The patent papers contained a photograph of the inventor's own house. sheathed with oat stucco which looks like stone. To . prepare the stucco and plaster, oats are first pulverized, then mixed with water, one pound to twenty pounds of water. Next the mixture' is cooked at 212 de- . grees Fahrenheit until it be- comes jellylike. A small amount of sassafras oil is added to prevent mold growth. The mass is then mixed with a fibrous material, like ground newspapers, straw or rags, to obtain the desired con- sistency. • The resultingcompound may be applied like conventional plas- ter or stucco, it is said. Or it may be melded into boards, tile or bricks. On setting it becomes hard and tough. ' SCIENTIFIC NOTE - - In perverse contradiction • of the accepted theories on drink- ing and driving, Qne Toronto mo- torist is accustomed to drive with especial care after he has taken one or two drinks.

"Step on it, buddy," shouted one of them, "and catch that car ahead. The driver's drunk." Had Moses Foreseen Our Misuse of Land - Without flippancy and with all reverence, it is suggested in a re- cent issue of 'Citriculture" (Cali- fornia) that if Moses had forseen man's woeful misuse of land in every country and in every age- the wastage of soil by man's sui- cidal,agriculture and the resulting man-made deserts . and ruined ci- vilizations — ifhe had foreseen the desolation caused by man's ignorance or greed, orboth, Moses no doubt, would have been inspired to amplify the Ten Come mandmonts to ensurb man's un- derstanding and observance of his trihity of responsibilities — his responsibility to his Creator, his responsibility to his fellow -men,. lid his responsibility to Mother Earth, Snell an amplification mighthave been given m these words: "Thou shalt inherit the earth as a faithful'steward, con- serving its resources and fertility from generation to generation: Thou shalt safeguard thy fields from soil erosion, the living ''et - era from drying up, thy forests from desolation, and prdtect thy country fromoverstocking or over -grazing, po that thy descend. ants- shall never be deprived of their abundance," — St. Titoism Times -Journal.

Fear Hens Won't Like Blackouts Attorney - General Conant, chairman of Ontario A, U'. corn- mittee, agrees with complaints filed with him by York County farmers, who say that, when the power is turned off during black- outs, egg -laying will slow up. The - farmers say that chickens sdust have light 'at certain hours or they will stop laying. Mr, Conant agreesthis is so, and while he sighs over the many problems involved in ARP' prepar- aion, says the blackout regula- tions must be amended to take caro of the situation, In Ontario, it is pointed out, there aro thousands of chicken, hatcheries, and a serious produc- tion problem might ensure if power is cut off. Mr, Conant has invited the farmers to make sug. gestions as to how best to regu- late blackouts, so as not to in- terfere with chickens. Roosevelt Prefers "United Nations" It looks as if the term. "United Nations" is going to be preferred 1 in' this war to the designation "Allies" used in the First World War. In his speech ,before Congress recently - President . Roosevelt spoke of "we of the United Na- tient' alluding to the 26 -nation agreement pledging a war to the finish against the axis and .pro- m-isinp no separate peace by any of the participants.

What a long way Canadians' of today have moved from the cue - toms of their forebears if they have to receive such - information formally and officially! Their` grandmothers did not need•to be told that animal fats can make good soap. They had constant demonstrations of the fact. The war is bringing old econ- omies back to us. Perhaps among others it will bring the soap kettle and the, soft soap and hardsoap of far-off days. If we are to pay for this ;war and that is our job — we shall have to turn our resources to account instead of sending them to the incinerator or pouring them down the sewer. 32,144,201 Fur Pieces For German Soldiers It is significant that the Ger- man people contributed 82,144,- 201 pieces of fur to the appeal to keep the Nazi ar7ny warm in ,,-s- sia, says the 'VP - of these furs were brought from the attics, where they had been lying these many years. Every- thing from fur coats. to fur ear muffs went into the collection bins, If the German' people were not atill behind Hitler and the lust of Germany to conquer the world, they would not have been so dili- gent in finding furs to send to the troops on the. Russian front. If there had been any tendency onthe part of the people to rebel against the Nazis, this was an opportunity to do so. The Geste-, po would know about some of the furs, but the Nazi officials would, not know about the old furs In the trunks in the attics, - Hitler has not lost his hold on the German people yet.

North and South America into the ranks of those fighting the Axis has a significance_ that may be missed by many. The republic south of the United States may not be able to send great naval land and air forces into action, but their declarations of war, their breaking of diplomatic rein - tons and their assurances of benevolent neutrality will mean great aid to the fighting Allies. Severing, of all economic ellen. nels, seizure of Axis merchant- men, and similar measures will mean the release of British na- val craft from olockade duties off South American coasts. Seiz- ure of Japanese fishing craft will prevent possible re -fueling of Axis submarines and . surface raiders.
