She looks frivolous, but she is a serious worker. Since she began her training in aircraft work last July she has ha three pro- motions. Her husband, leading stoker on an American lend-lease destroyer, was in; a hospital that was hit during a heavy ;Blitz. She was there, and decided then to "get back at the Germans." "I've seen to much suffering for my. peace of mind," she says. "If it's go- ing to stop, it'll stop through the Ger- mans suffering toe. These Stirlings sallow how." , ,,. She is one of thousands of wa- `men throughout Britain working day or night in aircraft factories on the planes that fight on every front of :the war. Oil smears their faces and :overalls, Grime is ingrained in their hands. They are doing men's jobs', :and are proving themselves men's ,squall in accuracy and working pow- ,er. Skeptical foremen' admit the wo- •men are quick, intelligent, fully aware of the importance of their work. One foreman, an overseer of men for twenty years ,almost resigned when "he was instructed to take charge of -women workers. But now he says, -"Treated as individuals ,they're ;grand. They're quick workers, are on good terms with the men, and never give any trouble." In most factories the women num- ber fifty per cent of the workers. That figure increases weekly, pushing up toward seventy per cent as promo- tion expands and more men join the fighting services. The women- have taken over arduous ,highly skilled jobs formerly considered exclusively men's work They use power presses, capstan lathes, milling machines and pneumatic riveters. They handle spanners, screwdrivers, hacksaws and files. They snake bomb floor girders and help build aircraft frardes. They wire and assemble fuel. pipes. One dark -eyed young women, form- erly a beauty specialist, inspects de- tails of Stirrings' wings to see that they are correct to drawing. Her husband, a Royal Naval Warrant Of- ficer, was reported 'missing• three months ago when his Ship was stink by a mine of fthe Libyan coast. But she hasn't given up hope. "My husband's in the front line," she says. "So I'm on the front line benches. We'l'I only win this war by all fighting together." Another woman, who has three small children to take care of, fits plug ends in the struts of Stirling bombe wings. She gets up at sin o'clock every morning, sends her children off to a friend's home for the day, and goes to her factory job. When she comes home .she puts the children-. to bed, clean house, and pre- pares dinner for the following day. `'"•Mg husband is in the fight" she is* "My children were in the Blitz,' .I'nr>not'going to let them dawn."

Probably, whether you should have , another Certainly you don't open up your' red-hot and start looking for hid- den taxes. But an enterprising tax expert has done that for you -with surprising results! Here's the dope on the tax prob lea' as it relates to Coney Island red -hots: There are 67 separate. taxes hidden in the average hot dog.) And the foot -long bunthe dog comes wraplied }'�r�ras gt lost q$ tax pay= merits mile and baked into it, The! taxes, it seems, start with the farmer and continue adding up ev-' cry step of the way from the pro- ducer to the consumer. Thepack- ing house, the retail butcher, two sets of supply houses, the railroads and the truckers all pay taxes that eventually are incorporated in the dog you love to eat. And a penny, out of each nickel you pay, when) you stand at the hot dog counter, goes to the tax collector, according to the expert, What will you think about the next time you eat a hot dog? Well, prob- ably just what you thought about be- fore. 'That's why politicians prefer hidden taxes. Report Proteins Used to Build New Body Material Successful test tube combination of amino acids, the so-called build- ing blocks of protein, into more complicated body substances, has been reported at the Stanford uni- versity conference on protein re- search, These amino acids were added to a solution containing a little salt and either some extract of the papaya fruit or of animal tissues. The ; t result was the formation of a sub- stance which was neither an amino acid nor a protein, but rather some- thing in between. This gives scientists a substantial "break" in the long-standing at- tempt to unravel the mysteries of proteins. AnirnaI and plant digestive sys- tems break down their food into simple substances and rebuild them into the particular kinds of pro- teins needed in their tissues, but nobody ever has been able to dupli- cate this feat by laboratory meth- ods. Some ammo acids have been put together by purely chemical means, but the results fell far short of be- ing proteins. Onions Were Worshiped • By Ancient Egyptians Among the ancient Egyptians,. onions' were worshiped. Modern' Egyptians assign them a place' their paradise. The belief that this vegetable pro-' tects humans and animals against infections is not a recent discovery,'' In the Middle ages, the hands were anointed with onion juice to prevent contagion in those exposed to in -l' fection. . An ancient medical pamphlet ad- vises "Lay a piece of onion on the site of a wasp' sting, or that of, airy poisonous insect, and it will allay the pain. A like appli- cation to the back of the neck will stopnose. bleed." In certain parts, of the Dutch West Indies, it is cus- tomary to disinfect sick rooms by cutting large onions into slices and strewing them about on the floor.' Every other day these are swept upl and burned and fresh ones set out. The Chinese have learned the nu- tritional value of onions, for next to rice, no other vegetable is as widely. used. In America, different varieties of onions are restricted to different areas partly because they refuse to. produce normal bulbs except with) a definite length of daylight. One group may need a short day of 12, hours, another a 13 -hour day; and still another 131/2 hours. Until recently, there was little attempt to control the blights of on- ions -principally pink root, smut, mildew, smudge, neckrot, yellow' dwarf, thrips and bolting (prema- ture seeding) -but today, for exam- ple, a Japanese onion which has' great resistance to diseases, insects! and adverse' climatic conditions but) ittle commercial value is, by cross-; breeding, transferring these quali-' ies to American types. A cellophane bag containing spe-; tial flies for effecting complete self -1 pollination of an onion plant, is tied over onion flowers. As they feed) on the nectar, the flies carry pollen from flower to flower. The bureau of plant industry oft the United States department of ag-I riculture is now developing varie-1 ties of onions resistant to diseases and insects and adaptable to a wid-; er range of climatic conditions. 'Royal Guest' of Duce King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, formally accorded the title of em- peror in 1936 after the Black Shirt legions strode through Ethiopia, is one of the last kings on the Euro- pean chessboard, He was 72 years old November 11. He was honored philatelically in 1938 by Italian East Africa, which included Ethiopia and the former colonies of Italian Eritrea and Somaliland. This area has been conquered by Britain. The king has been called the "royal guest" of Mussolini, since most of the world knows that Il Duce tolerates the pint-sized septu- agenarian solely because the pets sonal popularity of the ueprepos- sessing monarch is greater tlian that of the Black Shirt leader. Victor Emmanuel rarely appears in public since .he is extremely sensitive of his short stature and his spindly legs, a memento of rick- ets in childhood. When he does appear at state functions,, he is at- tired in clothes tailored to make him seem taller. Two Kinds of Chewing Perhaps the main use the human jaw may have in the future will be to talk. In the Stone age, its job was to tear apart tough fibers which were to be eaten. The job of the jaw today is also to chew, but not so much chewing on tough foods as on what old-fash- ioned people call chewing the rag -- talking. Chewing the rag, however, is not hard enough exercise. So it is not surprising to learn that by the time the average American is 40 years old, half of his teeth have been lost beyond recall. This Ioss of teeth is not usually noticed by strangers, since it is usu- ally the back teeth, which cannot be seen, which take flight first. As soon as they are gone, though, the jaw- bone begins to make an adjustment for this loss and shorten up a little. This is why girls who did not ap- pear to have receding chins when they were in high school may seem to have no chin at all by the time they ar2 in their forties. Defective Teeth Fully 95 per cent of the nation's school children have defective teeth because of a lack of proper dental treatment, Dr. Clarence O. Simpson, radiodonities professor, of Washington university, St. Louis, as- serted. Dr. Simpson warned the nation's parents against allowing children to eat too much candy. Declaring a limited amount of sweets may not. be harmful, the professor said "the candy habit is bad for the health and the teeth." Chewing gum, how- ever, was recommended as benefi- cial., The doctor recommended as a corrective and preventive measure an annual X-ray examination of ev- ery child's teeth after the sixth birthday. More Wool Urgently Needed in Canada Canada needs to produce more wool. With war developments now threat- ening the supplies from abroad, Cana- da faces a serious situation. Com- pulsory reduction in the amount of wool for civilian purposes is neces- sary. In addition, many more sheep are needed on Canadian, farms and ranges in order to augment the wool supply. Dignified Banker Finds Joy in Following Circus When summer comes the urge to paint up and clown under the "big top" creeps up on G. Wylie Overly of Mt. Pleasant, Pa. Overly, a gray-haired banker, is one of the outstanding citizens of this little western Pennsylvania community. Townsfolk know him well and see him often as the dig- nified cashier of the Mt. Pleasant State bank and president of the Westmoreland County Bankers' as- sociation. That is, about 50 weeks of the year they do. The other two weeks, Banker Overly has closed his desk to be- come Clown Overly. He bundles his family into a trailer and sets out a happy man that rare individual who fulfills a boyhood ambition. He said: "When I was a kid here in Mt. Pleasant my folks lived right on the edge of the circus lot. Why, I've never known the time when I didn't Want to be a circus clown." Overly has a trunk full of props that he digs out of the cellar every summer. He has more gags and stunts than most clowns, "I have to have a lot of stuff be- cause I go with different circuses different years and each show de- mands different things from its clowns. I have to be prepared for anything." Porcelain Types Porcelain is a white clay product that has been fired at a very high heat. It is translucent and differs from earthenware in that earthen- ware is opaque, usually lighter than porcelain in weight and often coars- er and more porous in texture, There are three types of porce- lain: hard paste porcelain, soft paste porcelain and bone porcelain. The natural surface of the paste is usually finished with a glaze which is a transparent vitreous coating. As a rule the decoration is applied be- fore the glaze is put on, in which, case it is'ealled an underglaze deco- ration. Want $40,000 Organ? Want a $40,000 pipe organ? Just apply to T. L. Tally, pioneer Los Angeles theater operator. He's more than anxious to give it away. Tally, whose business address is 1544 West Eighth street, is prepar- ing to raze his Criterion theater. If no one takes it, Tally plans to crate the instrument and store it away for possible future use. There's one catch, of course. It will cost whoever wants the or- gan about $3,000 to dismantle and reassemble it. Vitamin Capsules Vitamin capsules designed to pro- vide pep and energy shortly will be consul n.ed in wholesale lots by civil- ian national defense workers, sol- diers and sailors, according to Dr. Roger W, Truesdail, Los Angeles nutrition expert. Truesdell stated that a new cap- sule, known as "B complex," soon will be available for workers and members of the armed forces. One •million more sheep are required by 1943. Sheep and lambs :on farms in June, 1941, numbered slightly over 31/2 million head, rather evenly divi- ded between Eastern and Western Canada. The minimum number of sheep and lambs aimed at for., all Canada in 1943 is 44 aniilion,--an, overall increase of roughly; 30 .per cent. THURS., MAY 28, 1942 The Toggery Shoppe "G.

Com- manding the First Army, at the St. George's Day Dinner of the New - "In 1899, when I was a young lieu- tenant, I was sent to the Philippines. Our ship went via Suez. A case of chick -on pox kept us in quarntino at Gibraltar and so Malta was our first stopping place. Immediately after the ship left New York the men were given two months' pay in gold and this money was burning holes in their pockets. The mien got on good terms with the British garrison in Malta. The only gesture the Governor permitted himself when he received us was to drop his monocle, and short- ly many American soldiers were ex- hibiting glass counterparts, One way or another there was great fraternization and much. Anglo- American nixing up in a satisfactory way. We were, however ,horrified, to find thirty-five British soldiers had got on the ship with the intention of joining our expedition to the Phillip, pines. Not all of these were found before the ship sailed. In order to discover the others we instituted salu- ting aboard ship and hoped that we had discoyered them, since a British Tommy salutes in a different fash- ion from an American soldier. Our men, of course, were all on their side. "As soon as we got to the Phillip, ines, fighting started against Aguin- aldo's men and was much startled and disturbed to find that a private. reported to ne for gallantry against the enemy, was one of the British 'deserters." Much troubled, I took the matter up with my superiors and eventually secured for him an honor- able discharge and a transfer to the American Army. When the fighting was over he joined the Phillippine po- lice force and did; well there until 1914. I had kept in touch with him and was hardly surprised when • 1 re- ieeived an urgent appeal to get him back to Britain so that he could fight for his country in her hour of need, Ile fought in the British Army until 1917, again doing well and reaching the rank of Captain. When the United States entered the war I found him in France, anxious to transfer back to the American Army that had one to fight there. He succeeded nee more in' effecting the transfer bank to the American Army that had come to fight there. He succeeded. once snore in effecting the transfr and he became a Major in the Ameri- can Army. There he again won pro- motion and fought his last fight, dy- ing hY action at Soissons as a. Ideutenant Colonel; Surely an Anglo American soldier." ,
