Did You Ever
WONDER?
WHAT HOLDS AN AIRPLANE
IN THE AIR.
We need only to recall hone a
youngster will run with a kite dur-
ing a lull in the breeze to realize
that the .lifting power of the air is
the same whether the air is moving
relative to a stationary object or the
object is moving relative to com-
paratively still air.
As tre airplane foves rapidly for-
ward, pulled by its propeller, the air
pushes up against the lower side of
•,re slightly up-bilted airplane wings.
L gineers tell us, however, that this
rah -up or lift accounts for but one -
Laird of the lifting power that holds
an airplane in flight. The explana-
tion of the other two-thirds is not
quite so simple.
The forward or leading edge of
the wing thickened, and the whole
wing is curved n such a way as to
tend to deflect the onrushing wind
sharply upward, At the speed with
Which the plane hurtles through the
air, the wind stream cannot bend
down again quickly enough to touch
the upper surface of the wing; and,
as a consequence, a partial vacuum
is created above the wing,
Naw, at the earth's surface we are
at the bottom of an enormous sea of
air, this air or atmosphere exerts
a pressure at sea level of about 15
pounds. per square inch. This atmos-
pheric pree'sure is equal in all didec-
tions, pressing upward as well as
dpwnwards and aidewasd. This may
be demonstrated by laying a sheet
et paper over a tumbler that is full
of water and then inverting the tum-
bler carefully, •holdling the .paper in
piece with your hand. The water
ail molt spill out even atter the
hand under the paper is removed,
because the atmospheric pressure
against the paper holds the water
prfsoner.
As soon as the pressure above
the wing is decreased, as by the
parltial v,aouum that is formed by
the deflected air current, the atmos-
pheric pressure below the wing tries
to push the wing up into the space
left by the vacuum, and this is
thought to account for two-thirds of
the lifting power that. holds the air

',WE've Got a Loyeiy War to Win"
Verse—
Ponvey, Dadius and Cyrus
Were all defeated one by one;
Ghengis Iiran and Alexander
Really lost the wars they won.
There',s a merieval tyrant
Living in the world to -day;
He will Lever last as long as
they did
Now that we are on our way.
Choruses --
Up boys, into the blue sky,
Up boys, that's where the foe fly
Up boys, we.,ve got a war to win;
Well make history tremble
With our might, and assemble
On the streets of Hitler's old
Berlin;
We're the eyes. of the forces;
Instrumental resources.
Without us action can't begin;
And when we convince the Nazi
His Government will collapsy
In every house there'll be a
maiden - - waiters'
We've got a lovely war to win,

A Slum
On a day that I spent in the city, I
entered the pover•ty7stricken• slurps
Where filth and dirt were every-
where, and a visitor scarcely
tomes,
The shingles were blown all over
the yards, the roofs were shatter-
ed and worn;
From the doors peeped faces of little
children, dirty, thin and forlorn.
The boards on the homes' were
waived with rain, some verandas•
unsteadily stood,
The curtains flew frown the broken
panes, everyone showed the want
of food,
Refuse and garbage were strewn in
the yard; caul and glass on the
street;
This flltr and dint everywhere, was
an. awful sight to meet,
Quarelling, swearing in: some or
'these homes, showed how their
life was spent.
From aunt-ise to sunset, lazily about
they went,
Some striving in vale to be clean
and to work others fai1tng ev'n tO
try,
Results in the classes of cities, the
lowest and. very high.

Torpedoes Travel Fast—
A type of torpedo used, by the
British and the Royal Canadian
Navies, consists of a hollow steel
body ands an explosive head. It is
cylindrical in shape, twenty-two
feet long and twenty-one inches in
diameter and weighs aver one -and -a -
half tons. It travels at a speed
of about fisty miles an hour.

Addressing, Wrapping
Important in Sending
Mail to Men Overseas
Ottawa,—Two big problems of the
Army Postal Service are brought
shoat by incorrect addressing and
ifproper wrapping of parcels. DailY
hundredis' of lettere and parcels are
delayed because of insufficient ad-
dresl'ing. In some cases the
addresses can be located after sane
research. In others the letter or
parcel has to he returned. In
wrapping parcels 91 sthbuld• be re-
meonbered that they will be subjecct
to mucr handling and therefor
should be sturdily wrapped and
bound.
The following rule 'will prevent
improper addaes'sing; rank, name,
regimenit regimental number and
unit of regiment. For instance: Pri-
vate John Smith, 49th Highlanders,
A123415, Trench Mortars, with
Canadian Active Forces.
Canada's War 'Purcha'ses—

ing a total value of about $125,000,-
