Rivers, trees, mountains and clouds form a picturesque backdrop for the highway to Alaska being
built from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, to Fairbanks by the U. S. Army. Here Army engineers have
thrown a wooden bridge' across a muddy stream, using more than 3000 logs. This permanent strue--
Lure will be widened by the Public Road Administration sometime in the future. Aleut highway ill
scheduled to open Dec. 1.
WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
TURPENTINE
Southern pine trees and the skill
of American chemists are supply-
ing the United States with a ver-
satile product in which Japan once
held a tight monopoly, writes Dr.
C. M. A. Stine, vice-president ad-
eisory on research and develop-
ment of the duPont de Nemours
and Company for Science Service,
This is camphor, an important
ingredient of thousands of peace-
time and wartime product.; from
liniments, unguents, stimulants
and other pharmaceuticals to
scuffiess plastic heel covering on
women's shoes, movie films (which
use hundreds of thousands of
pounds), military drafting instru-
ments and motorcyole windshields.
State camphor trees of the Or-
ient have for thousands of years
been giving off their fresh and
heady odor—an odor that carries
for miles. Many centuries ago the
natives learned to distill the cam-
phor wood, using crude bamboo
tubes to condense the snow-white
crystals. These they pressed into
small amulets to insure health and
to serve as symbols of pagan be-
lief. It is said that the Arabian
physicians of the eleventh century
appreciated the medicinal value of
camphor.
German, Swiss and Italian planta
were turning synthetic camphor
out early in the twentieth century
and a start was made on this con-
tinent in 1900. Several other ef-
forts were also made during the
first third of the century, but
large-scale operations did not be-
gin until the duPont company
opened its camphor plant in 1932.
Turning out close to 600,000 pounds
of camphor a month, this plant
now produces most of the cam-
phor manufactured in the U. S.
Pinene, the starting material fon'
camphor production, is a clear,
watery fluid which looks and smells
much like turpentine. In fact, tur-
pentine is 95 percent pinene, which
is distilled off.
The world's largest diamond,
the Cullinan, which weighed
3,106 carats when found in South
Africa, was cut into nine principal
stones.

FINE CUT
In the early '9O's, when J. H.
Wallace drove a herd of cattle
up into Alberta from Idaho and
started the now famous Wal-
lace Ranch, the "Hat" Brand
was his identification. The
brand is still in rise by Ross
Ranches, at Aderi, Alberta.

An American go-getter, visiting
Scotland for the first time, found
himself puzzling over the dialect
of the hotel porter. Taking the
man for aforeigner, he inquired
his nationality.
"I belong to Scotland, bonnie

ly. "And far d' ye cam free "
"Prom the greatest country the
world has ever known," boasted
the American.
"Mon," exclaimed the Scot,
"what am. awfa peety ye'vo lost

Filet Shows Work
Of Forestry Corps
A filen, "Wood for War," made
in co-operation with the Canadian
Army Film Unit, is on its way
from London. It shows men of the
Canadian Forestry Corps at work
in Scotland's forests helping to
provide timber essential to Bri-
tain's war effort. All Canada is
there, from East to West.
The great trees fall; they float
down the Scottish rivers to her
saw -mills; they become planks.
The finished timber appears as
bridges, pontoons, array hlrtlnents,
HOW CAN 1?
Q. How can I make a substitute
knob if the original comes off the
lid of a kettle or pan?
A. Slip a screw through the hole,
with the head on the inside of the
lid, then screw a cork on the pro
truding end. This knob will not
become hot, and it can be renewed
easily when it has become spoiled.,
Q. How oan I make a dry 'sham-
poo?
A. Mix two ounces of cornmeal
with one ounce of powdered orris
root. Sprinkle this powder in the
hair and then brush thoroughly,
Q. How oan I chop nuts quickly?
A. Instead of chopping nuts for
cakes or cookies, try placing them
in a cloth and running the roll-
ing pin over them.
Q. How can I keep the shower
curtain in good condition?
A. After taking a shower, always
be sure to draw the shower cur-
tain out along the rod to dry. The
air must get to it and let it dry
out, in order to prevent damage
to the fabric and possible mildew,
Q. How can I make a dessert
with left -over rice?
A. Left -over cooked rice can be
made into a delicious dessert by
adding to it some chopped apples;
dioed pineapples, marshmallows,
and whipped cream. Put into
nlobde.
Modern Etiquette
1. When a man and a woman
tine engaged to be married, 1311't
it permissible for them to kiss in
public, and otherwise show their
devotion?
3. Wllat should one do when
dummy during a bridge game?
'Watch the game or leave the table
and walk about the room?
3. In which hand should the fork
be held when conveying food to the
mouth, and the knife is not re-
quired?
4. When a elan is accompany-
ing a woman who does not smoke
and he knows that she does not
Object to his smoking, is it neces-
sary for him to ask permission
each time he wishes to smoke?
5. When a person has finished
eating, isn't it helpful if he will
stack the empty dishes?
ANSWERS
1. No, Such demonstrations
should be reserved for their priv-
acy. It shows very poor taste for
them to display their love in pub-
lic, and provokes unkind comments
and criticism among their asso-
ciates. 2. It is poor manners to
leave the table during the progress
of the game, and is much nicer
to show an interest in the manner
in which your partner is playing
the hand. 3. The right hand. 4.
Not at all; if he has already ask-
ed permission once or twice, it
would be somewhat monotonous
to keep repeating the request. 5.
He may consider it helpful, but it
is certainly not good form to do
so. The dishes should remain as
they are until the waiter removes
them.
"Flying Scotsman"
Maintains Schedule
Eighty years ago, in June,
1862, the first "Flying Scotsman"
pulled from No. 10 platform
King's Cross, London, at 10
o'clock A.M. and, with but one or
two' exceptions, this aristocrat am-
ong trains has left the same plat-
form at the same time every day
since then, says the Canadian
National Magazine.
The story of the "Flying Scots-
man" is railway history—indeed it
is more, it is the railway history of
five reigns. Since its first run
every thing worth while in rail-
way practice has been bestowed
upon it. The original train of
about six small coaches has grown
through the years to the magnifi-
cent pre-war fourteen or sixteen
coach luxury hotel on wheels that
transformed the journey to Scot-
Iand into a most pleasant adven-
ture.

THESE days, no woman can
afford to risk cake failures. To
mance sure their cakes are always
gloriously light and tender—with
what cake experts call "velvety-
crumb"—so many women are using
Calumet Double -Acting Baking
Powder.
DOUBLE -ACTION
SAFEGUARDS SUCCESS
With Calumet, two separate leaven-
ing actions protect your cake from
start to finish. The first action takes
place when you add liquid to the
dry ingredients. Thousands of tiny
bubbles go surging through the
batter making it light
and fluffy.
A second leavening
action takes place in the oven. Released
by heat, thousands more tiny bubbles
slowly lift your cake high—and hold it
there. They make rising even and steady
and assure a cake that's soft as finest
velvet.

TRIPLE ECONOMY TOO
Calumet is a thrifty baking !powder because it gives so much
for so little,
1 It costs very little to buy.
2 Most recipes call for only I teaspoon of Calumet to
each cup of flour.
3 Its double -action is timed and balanced to assure
