GREETED BY INDIAN CHIEFS
War-bonnetted chiefs of the Stoney Tribe from nearby Morley
Reserve, greeted His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent when he spent
a' two-day respite at Banff Springs Hotel, breaking his arduous aerial
inspection tour of the Commonwealth Air Training and Royal Cana-
dian Air Force stations. Here the prince is seen chatting with Chief
Johnny Bearspaw (left) and Chief Waving Feather. His stay in the
Canadian Rockies resort was the Duke's first real holiday in many
months and he made the most of it, motoring, picnicking, riding, and
walking just like any other resort visitor.

Turn to Britain
Authoritative British circles
said recently that Chief of State
Petain's new policy underlines
"the determination of the Vichy
Government to align itself •more
closely" with Germany and Italy.
These circles said Petain's plan
is 'designed for the purpose of
iewbjugating the French people and
forcing upon them a policy which
they detest."
The French people's own ten•
dency, these quarters said, is "to
turn with growing hope towards
Britain and her Allies and to de-
sire ardently a British victory."

Arthur thecae, the stage come-
dian, is malting London laugh with
this story: "A crowd of German
airmen arrived at the gates of
heaven and clamored to get in.
'Who are you?' asked St, Peter.
'We're the fifty German airmen
who were shot down today by the
R.A.F.', was the reply. Said St,
Peter: 'Wait a minute while I
have a look at the German com-
munique,' After reading it he
came back and announced: 'It says
here that only two German air -
then were shot down today. So
two of you can come in and the
rest of you can go to hell',"
The young man went into
the shop and said to the cash-
ier: "I want to pay the last
Instalment on the perambul-
ator." The smiling cashier
handed him his receipt and
asked: "And how Is the
baby?" "Oh, I'm feeling fine,
thank you," was the reply.
According to one of the latest
anecdotes from Norway, a young
sailor in Bergen was sitting on
his front porch reading a day-old
copy of the London Times when
along came an agent of the Ges-
tapo. The mere sight of this news-
paper was enough to enrage the
German. When he discovered how
recent its date was, his wrath
boiled over in gutteral invective.
"How dirt you get ,possession of
that verboten a n d verdant
paper?"
"Get it?" calmly replied the
sailor, "I didn't get it. I subscribe
to it."
During a natural history
examination a small boy was
asked which of all the crew, -
tures eats less food than any
other.
He replied that It was the
moth, because it eats holes,
A small, ihy man leaned con-
lidentially across the desk at the
United States Consulate at Lisbon
and asked: "Please, sir, is there
any possibility that I could get
entrance into your wonderful
country?"
The attache, pressed by thous-
ands of such pleas and haggard
With sleepless nights, replied
roughly: "Impossible now. Come
back in ten years." The little re-
fugee moved toward the door,
stopped, turned and asked with a
wan smile: "Morning or after-
noon?"

speeding along like this. Don't
you feel glad you're alive?"
Passenger: "Glad isn't the

"Missed The Bus"
While in a provincial .. town,
Lewis Thompson writes in Cor-
onet, Richard Wagner attended a
performance of his "Lohengrin"
by a troupe of strolling players,
To his surprise, the singers and
orchestra were definitely above
average, but the tenor, as the
opera progressed, was becoming
increasingly inebriated. By the
end of the fourth act, when he
was supposed to step into the boat
drawn by the white swan and
make his exit in this manner, he
was so staggeringly drunk that he
missed the vehicle—the swan was
pulled off the stage without him.
Paying no attention to the mur-
murs of the audience, ha pulled a
watch from his pocket and turn=
ing to Elsa, the heroine, he asked
in the most matter-of-fact voice:.
"Pardon me, madam, do .you know
what time the next swan leaves?"

Would You
Do Likewise?
You have an appointment with
your lady friend at your favorite
meeting place but find yourself,
at the last minute, unable to keep
it. There is no apparent way to
let her know. What would you
do? Well, here's what a Cana-
dian National Telegraphs messen-
ger received by way of an assign-
ment recently: "Go to the corner
of blank and blank streets (a busy
intersection) and look for a short,
nice looking girl, wearing glasses.
Tell her that her boy friend said
for her not to wait for him as he
is unable to keep the appointment
but for her to go to his mother's
house. She will know where it
is." The young lady was found
and the message delivered, to the
satisfaction of all parties.
Old Pigeon Post
Now Used Again
The "new" system of photo-
graphing letters from the forces
in the Middle East to lessen
weight of air mail is described by
"Peterborough," London Daily
Telegraph columnist, as "just 76
years old."
Delving into the post office
archives, he discovered that the
first time the system was used
was in maintaining communica-
tions between London and Paris
in 1870 when the "pigeon post"
made history.
Letters intended for this novel
mode of transmission had to be
sent to headquarters of the French
post at Tours. Here they were
copied in consecutive order and
by a photographic process trans-
ferred in reduced form to a dimin-
utive piece of very thin paper
such as a pigeon could carry. The
photographs were enlarged on ar-
rival and a legible impression ob-
tained.

AIR-CONDITIONED SUITS
Workers in boiler rooms and
large enclosures containing open-
hearth furnaces often labor in
unhealthy and uncomfortable heat,
Although it is often economically
impossible to air-condition the en-
tire factory room, scientists are
studying ways of air-conditioning
the worker.
One effective method has been
to attach a flexible hose to the
back of a worker's coveralls and
run the tube to a cooling unit.
When the cooler was switched on,
it pumped air at 80 degrees Fah-
renheit and 50 per cent relative
humidity through the hose into
the garment, and workers in such
ventilated suits were practically
free of perspiration at tempera -
