•".fir,."+
With plenty of snow on the countryside, Canada's soldiers are already into the full swing of their
winter training. This photograph, taken at Camp I3 olden, shows a signalling crew usinga "Fuller Emer-
gency Field Telephone". The messages from this ingenious instrument cannot be tappebecause they are
laeaambled when they leave the transmitter and are unscrambled at the receiving end, thus making it impos-
sible for th ewire-tapper to gleam the slightest bit ofinformation.

ie not necessary. 3. It is ex-

SUNLIGHT AND VITAMIN C
Vitamin C may be produced by
sunlight in 'the same way that
radiation produces vitamin D, it
' is indicated by an analysis of
tomato plants' vitamin content
when kept under variable condi-
tions of sunlight. When the plants
were removed from the sunlight
the vitamin C content showed a
remarkable decrease in quantity,
and when they were returned to
the light the quantity increased.
NEW WAY TO MAKE HELIUM
Dr. Cecil T. Lane, assistant
in physics' at Yale University and
former student and member of
the staff at McGill University,
is reported to have built a ma-
chine which cuts both the time
and cost of manufacture sof liquid
helium down to a fraction of the
former time and cost.
McGill physicists last week
commented that the manufacture
of liquid helium was a difficult
process as helium gas liquefies at
four degrees above absolute zero,
the point at 'which all atomic ac-
tion ceases. .,

HEALTH
TOPICS
More Vitamins in
Whole Wheat Bread
No ane measure could do so
much to advance national health
and vigor in wartime as the
provision of greater vitamin con-
tent in bread, Dr. Frederick T.
Tisdall, nutrition expert, told the
.Health League of Canada in a'
recent address at Toronto.
The British government last
July took steps to supplement the
amount of vitamin B1 in all
bread. Similar action is being
considered in the U.S. and work
in this field is now being done
at Ottawa.
"In Canada we have discover-
ed in the last few years that
most of the vitamin content of
our grains goes' into the animal
troughs," Dr. Tisdall said. The
heaviest vitamin content of gxxin
is in the parts discarded in The
refining of white bread flour, he
explained.
COMBATS NERVOUSNESS
"We used to think that 300 in-
ternational units of vitamin B1
was a sufficient daily supply but
now we believe 500 units are
needed. Persons receiving 800
units get along all right, but that
if this is cut to 250 units the
same people become morose and
fretful," he said. Reducing the
amount below that figure actu-
ally reduced subjects of experi-
ments to a state where they be -
cane highly nervous and afraid,
he declared.
The simplest way to derive the
full vitamin advantages from
bread is to eat whole wheat bread,
the doctor said, but added "you
can't make people eat what they
don't like and most of us don't
like brown bread."
"A white flour can be pro-
duced which will vary very little
from our present white flour, yet
contain the needed vitamins,"
Dr. Tisdall added.

are, in the order selected: "The

Verdi's opera, "Pagliacci," or "Fig-

which probably not one Britisher
in 100,000 knows), any good college
song, `Drink to Me Only With
Thins Eyes," "The Prisoner's
Song," "Ah, Sweet Mystery of
Life," and "VII See You Again,"
from "Bittersweet," which is, how-
ever, a "plug" for his next picture.

In the not too distant future,
the Polar regions will be criss-

to Vilhjalmur Sitefansson, noted
Canadian explorer of the Arctic,
who flew from Edmonton to
Montreal by Trans -Canada Air

on his way back to New York.
On the year's average, flying

The Best Woods
For House -Heating
Hard maple, yellow bir,;h,
beech, oak and hickory are among
the best Canadian woods for
fuel, a cord and one-quarter of
any one of them being approxi-
mately equal in heating value to
one ton of anthracite coal. Re-
gardless of what wood is used,
it should be as dry as possible
for not only does wet wood give
out less heat than dry wood but
it is also apt to cause fouling of
the pipes. For this reason fire-
wood seasoned for less than one
year should not be used, and to
achieve the best results wood
shouIcl be cut into suitable lengths
for the stove or furnace as soon
as possible so as to permit the
most thcrough seasoning.
More Fast Trains
On This Continent
Railroad passenger service in
Canada and the United States
is much faster than it was a year
ago, according to the annual train
schedule survey jus,; completed
and made public by Railroad
Magazine. This study shows
that separate runs operating
daily at an average speed of a
mile-aminute or more grew dur-
ing the year from 997 to 1,226
-a jump of 23 per cent. The ex-
tension of mile -a -minute rail-
roading, it is pointed out, is prim-
arily` due to the general improve-
ment of inter -city services ra-
ther than to a spectacular speed-
up on any one system.
