handle opening. Tie a string
around it and allow it to remain
until dry.
Q. How can I destroy plant
insects?

What Science
Is D,: ing
WHAT'S A SNOWFLAKE?
A snowflake—being ice—is a
anineral with a chemical composi-
tion of H20, and a hexagonal
crystalline form like that of the
gem stone beryl.
Snowflakes start as ice crystals,
formed — usually on a tiny par-
ticle of dust—when water vapor
is cooled below freezing. Sleet
and hail, on the other hand, re-
melt from the freezing of water
droplets after condensation.
Normally it takes about 10
inches of snow to equal one ineh
of rain.
Because of the air spaces ,be-
tween fallen flakes, a heavy snow
blanket has unusual insulating
properties, and may keep the
temperature of the ground close
to freezing while the temperature
above the snow is below zero.
Of trillions of snowflakes no
two are ever exactly alike.

NAPHTHALENE BY-PRODUCTS
Moth balls and flakes and syn-
thesized medicinal preparations
such as aspirin, saccharine, novo-
caine and barbital are by-products
of coal.
FERTILIZER
Fertilizer from coal, in the
form of sulphate of ammonia, is
increasing in application. During
1941 it is estimated agriculture
will need 400,000 tons of nitro-
gen, of which 122,000 tons will
be in sulphate of ammonia, pro-
duced from coal in the by-product
caking process.
Axis Air Losses
Are Double British
Air losses of the Axis up to the
end of 1941—even exclusive of
losses in Russia—have been dou-
ble those of Britain, it was an
nounced recently.
The .A.ir Ministry said Axis
losses had been 8,659 planes, and
Britain's losses 3,962.
It gave this breakdown: Over
and around Britain, Axis 8,692,
British 887; over Europe, Axis
940, British 1,875; Middle Last,
Axis 2,875, British 711; Western
front, Axis 957, British 379;
Scandinavian front, Axis 56, Brit-
ish 55; at sea, Axis 39, British 54.
In addition Admiralty records
listed 570 other Axis planes de-
stroyed at sea by British war-
Iobips and ,armed merchantmen.
Have You Heard?
Two Irishmen arranged to fight
a duel with pistols. One of them
was very stout, and when he saw
his lean adversary facing him he
raised an objection: •
"Bedad i" he said,. "I'm twice as
big a target as he is, so I ought to
stand twice as far away from him
as he is from me."
"Be aisy now," replied his sec-
ond. "I'll soon put that right."
Taking a piece of chalk from
his pocket, he drew two lines down
the stout man's coat, leaving a
space between them,
"Now," he said, turning to the
thin man, `;fire away, ye spalpeen,
and remember that any hits out-
side the chalk mark don't count."
While on patrol duty a
member of the Home Guard
came across a watchman
asleep in his hut.
The sirens had just previ-
ously sounded. Shaking the
old man, he shouted: "Wake
up; don't you know the
Siren's gone?"
Sleepily he murmured:
"We'll, I'm not surprised.
The people round here'll take
anything."
A minister advertised for a
man -servant. The next morning a
well-dressed young man rang the
bell
"Can you start the fire and get
breakfast by 7 o'clock," the min-
ister asked.
"1 guess so," relied the young
man.
"Well, can you polish all the sil-
ver, wash the dishes and keep the
hove neat and tidy ?"
"Say, par':; )ti," answered the
young fellow. "I calve here, to
see about getting married, but if
it's ging to be as much work as
all that you can count the out
right null'."
Reeorter (to veteran of
Lii.:yaa campaign): ."W a3
there any shade in the des-
ert?"
Soldier: "Y es, hut I
couldn't get in it."
Reporter: "Why not?"
Soldier: "Well, have you
tried to sit in your owtt sha-
dow?"
When Macpherson carne home
from. work he told his wife: "I'm
joining the • Army, Maggie. I'll
just take my tea and go along
and 'list."
"Oh, Sandy," y," she exclaimed,
"what -.over has pu', into your head
to be a soldier?" .
"Wcel, it's this way," he ex-
plained. "I've been giving a pen-
ny a week to the comforts fund
for two months now; and' I'm
joining up to get my parcel',"
Father took his small son to
church. At one stage of the ser-
vice the clergyman announced:
"We shall now sing hymn num-
ber two hundred and twenty-two.
'Ten thousand times ten thous-
and.' Two hundred and twenty-
two."
The puzzled lad nudged his
father.
"Dad," he whispered, "do we
have to• work this out?"

MODERN
ETIQUETTE
1. Is it proper for women to
shake hands with each other when,
being introduced?
2. Where should one place the
pits when eating olives?
3. Should the listener to a
conversation gaze constantly at
the speaker?
4. Does good form demand
that an announcement of an en-
gagement be niacle promptly?`
5, • How should one eat chees-
es?
6. Is it a hostess' duty to see
that conversation doesn't lag?
Answers
1. Women may or may not
shake hands with each other, as •
they prefer. • Unless the one who
is about to offer her hand is :tire
that it will be agreeable, she will
do well not to be too hasty about
making this advance. 2. Put the
pits on the side of the dinner or
bread and butter plate. 8. He
should be attentive and look at
the speaker, but not with a hyp-
notic gaze. Looking out of a
window or off into space is dis-
concerting to a speaker and is a
sign of ill -breeding. 4. Yes. This
may be done by sending a notice
to the newspaper, or by issuing'
engraved announcements to
friends and relatives, or by means
of an announcement party for the
close friends and relatives. 5.
Soft cheese should be spread on
a cracker • with a knife, Hard
'cheeses such as American, may be
eaten either with the fork or the '
fingers. 6. Yes, it is her, duty to
direct the conversation. There
must be no perceptible silences
that make the guests feel es
though their hostesses were tired
and tvish they would go.
Soviet Railway Gauge
Handicap To ,anis
The difference in the gauge
between the Russian and German
railways has been a handicap to
the Nazis. All their transport by
rail has to proceed to the German
end of the line and then be trans-
shipped to Russian trains, which
use a different width between the
rails.
This has prevented the Germans
sending Nazi rolling stock on into
Russia in the wake of the army.
And, as the Russians have been
destroying their rolling stock or
getting it back out of German
reach, the Nazis have not been
able to use Russian freight cars
and trucks.
The original idea in making the
railways of different gauge was
to hinder a military invasion of
Russia, Proof of the wisdom of
the action is being had daily on
the Russian front.—Windsor Star.
Just How Cold
Is Soviet Wintery?
Just how cold is it? Frusta be-
gin in European Russia on Oct. 1

below zero in January and stays
below till April, with occasional
drops to dints 5•!, except n..ong
the Black Sea, where it may rise
to :i above. Winds of near -hurri-
cane farce are weekly affai:s.
Ukr,.ina far'rrr2rs expect neat as
late as lllay 24. The Soviet June
is recommended, however, by all
Russian poets, regardless of poli-
tics. (,1'. S. The Winter lack of
suns['tine, vitamins and out -door
exercise has an enfeebling effect
on the Russian people, the books
say).

Russians in Canada
Mobilize For Victory
Canada's 35,000 citizens of
Russian origin including 16,000
Doulthobors most of whom ,reside
in Western Canada haveq;mobil-
ized their total strength not only
to help the land of their adoption
win their war against the Axis
powers but to ensure success for
the forthcoming Second Victory
Loan Campaign,
The National Executive of the
Russian Committee maintains 28
organizing and secretarial branch-
es in Canada. Posters bearing
Russian characters will, before the
cal;npaign proper begins on Feb-
rtiary 16th, be distributed among
those Russian communities. Cir-
culars in which Victory Loan lit-
erature has been translated from
English into Russian will soon be
distributed to. all those 35,000
Russian Canadians, Russian lang-
uage publications in Canada have
undertaken to devote all the space
required to publicize Canada's war
aims and Victory Loan objectives
in the Russian language so that
not a single Russian Canadian
may be without full knowledge in
both directions.
This is the first time since Can-
adian citizens of Russian origin
became organized in Canada in
their own interests that they have
volunteered as a united group to
aid a national cause of this kind.
"We intend to give our whole
strength to your campaign," saia
IL. Okulewicb, Organizing Secre-
tary of the committee in a recent
interview. "We want your Vic-
tory Loan Campaign to be an
overwhelming success. We intend
to help by distributing literature
to our people prepared by us In
the Russian language. We intend
to send our organizers and even
canvassers. When the campaign
proper begins we intend to have
our people volunteer their services
to local campaign committees to
help in any way possible. We
command the support of every
Russian Canadian in this country
and we ere satisfied that every
man — and woman -- associated
with our organization will. give
his fullest support to this im-
portant Victory Loan Campaign."

Need Stressed For
High -Quality Seed
A warning to seed producers in
Canada to prepare to meet the de -
mends from European countries
for high-quality grain seed to re•
plenish war -ruined stocks was
issued recently by G. A. Scott,
assistant plant pathologist, Cen-
tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa.
• Speaking at the annual meet-
ing of the Registered Seed Grow-
ers' Section of the Ontario Crop
Improvement Association, at the
King. Edward Flotel, Toronto, Mr.
Scott asserted that Canadian pro-
ducers of healthy, high-quality
seed were not now in a position
to meet the demands that would
undoubtedly be placed upon them
after the war. He advised the
seed growers to take every pos-
sible step toward that goal.
He told of experiments now be-
ing made at each of the five main
experimental farms in Canada to
produce foundation seed that
would be free of seed -born disease
such as rust and smut.
Work -- Grow Slim
With all this talk of corsets
and rubber shortage, it seems the
first thing to do is to remember
and be comforted in the know-
ledge that old Mother Nature
provided every human figure, free
of charge, with a good 2 -way
stretch girdle of muscles in criss-
cross formation over the abdo-
nmen. See any physiology book
or look at the human figure chart
in the doctor's office. Moreover,
this fine natural girdle of museles
may be developed by bending,
kicking, stretching and other well
known exercises from a loose
flabby girdle into one that is taut,'
snug and firm enough to hold
figure flat in front and compara-
tively small at the waistline, if
man or woman is willing to take
to serious daily exercise.
