Zurich Herald, 1941-10-30, Page 6CANADIAN NAVY MAINTAINS VIGIL
Canada's Navy keeps the seas: through fair weather or foul, in rain or fog, ships of the Royal
Canadian Navy maintain their vigil at sea. Here, one is seen, looming out of the mist, while in one
of her consorts a seaman stands his watch.
Canada is celebrating "Navy Week."
Throughout the Dominion, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in industrial centres and prairie
villages, the Navy League of Canada is calling the nation to pay tribute to the men of the sea who are
winning the war of the Free Peoples. of
Navy Week, sponsored by the Navy League of Canada, in ince war was yearlaredv from lessnmore
than2,000everofficerso and menatodwhich
more than 25,00her
officers and men — each of whom is helping in Canada's
large part in the war at sea.

SQUEAKING DIAMONDS
Touch a diamond and almost
any pearl with a piece of dry ice
and they squeak. Imitations
don't. So reports Miss Mary D.
Waller, of the London School of
Medicine for Women.
The explanation is simple.
When dry ice (solid carbon diox-
ide) is heated it turns at once
into a gas and skips the liquid
stage. Touch a metal plate with
a point of dry ice, and heat passes
from the plate to the dry ice,
whereupon gas is formed. The
stream pushes away part of the
plate in front of it, whereupon it
stops and the plate springs back.
This happens about 1,000 to 4,-
000
;000 times a second, so that we
have high-pitched sound vibra-
tions. Touch a piece of glass or
some other non-conductor in this
way and no squeaks are heard.
Miss Waller has learned the
trick of producing continuous,
very high musical notes from dia-
monds and pearls. A very light,
steady touch is demanded to make
a gem sing, and so is a sense of
when the vibrations are about to
begin.

OCEAN YIELDS MAGNESIUM
Recovery of metallic magnes-
ium from seawater at Freeport,
Tex., by the Dow Chemical Com-
pany of Midland, Mich., recently
was called the outstanding chemi-
cal engineering achievement since
1940.
At the Freeport Plant, some
300,000,000 gallons of raw ocean
water are daily processed to pro-
duce 100,000 pounds of metal
as well as large quantities of
bromine for anti -knock motor
fuels.
Magnesium alloys (known as
Dowmetal), are the lightest
structural metals used in industry,
being one third lighter than alum-
inum with comparable strength
and toughness. Today 100 per
cent of Dow's output goes into
defence uses, particularly in cast-
ings for airplanes, each of which
on the average will contain 1,-
000 pounds of this remarkable
metal.

Etiquette
BY ROBERTA LEE
1. Should word be sent to the
hotel to hold the room that has
been reserved if one finds he is
unexpectedly delayed and cannot
arrive on the day stated in his
reservation?
2. Should the woman or t1• r man
precede when leaving the dining
room of a hotel?
3. Should a man a1,raYs assist
a woman to enter or leave an auto-
mobile?
4. Is it all right to eject from the
mouth to the floor the 'ittle specks
at tobacco that separate themselves
from the cigarette or the cigar?
5. Should some kind of amuse-
ment be provided for children while
traveling with them on a train?
6, Are plaee-Cards used at the
informal luncheon?
AN SWE.RS
1. Yes. Because hotels do not
hold the room it you are not there
to claim it within a reasonable
time after you have said you wo--ld
be there.
2. The woman precedes, the man
follows. Neither should forget the
"good night" to the waiter or head
Waiter.
S. Yee.
4. This is exceedingly bad taste.
Remove these particles from the
mouth with the thumb and first
finger and place them in the ash
tray. It is best t+' do as little
of this as possible.
5. Yes. It is too much to expect
them to remain quiet in their seats
without some kind of amusement,
so take along some game or toy.
6. No; the hostess :Ives direc-
tions as to the seating, unless toe
guests are so many that place -
cards must be used.
Science Has Hopes
Of Defeating Moth
Science held out hope to the
housewife and others today of
making woollen articles safe from
moths and heavy-handed laund-
resses. The Bureau of Standards
and Textile Foundation of the
United States announced discov-
ery of a chemical treatment which
shows promise of making wool
less edible for moths, less sensi-
tive to Alkaline factors in soap
and less likely to shrink.
The production of maple syrup
and maple sugar in Canada in
1941 is estimated in terms of
maple syrup at 2,276,400 gallons.

Q. How can I waterproof my
shoes?
A. It is a. wise plan to keep a
comfortable pair of shoes on hand
that are waterproof for out -door
use. Apply a dressing made by
melting together two parts'of bees-
wax to one part of mutton fat.
Apply at night, and remove the
next morning by wiping with a
piece of flannel.
Q. How can I clean a soiled felt
hat?
A. Rub it very . lightly with a
fine grade of sandpaper, rubbing
with the nap. Then rub over with
a mixture of salt, cornmeal, and
gasoline and allow to stand in the
air for a while.
Q. How can I prevent icing from
hardening if I am interrupted by
the doorbell or telephone while
icing a cake?
A. Place a damp cloth eve. the
bowl containing the frosting.
Q. What are some of the values
of various vegetables?
A. Lettuce is good for the
nerves. Beets and turnips contain
iron. Tomatoes are good for the
liver and stimulate it. Celery is
good for rheumatism. Spinach is
good for the bowels. Carrots are
good for clearing the complexion.
Asparagus is good for the kidneys.
Q. How can I mend a loose um-
brellc handle?
A. 1! the umbrella handle be-
comes loose, pour some melted
resin or sulphur into the hole.
Quickly force in the umbrella rod
and hold for a few minutes until
the substance hardens.

"Did you hear about Jones and
lis car?" said Brown to his neigh-
bor over the back fence.
"No, what about it?"
"Well you know, it's a very
old car, and odd bits are always
falling off when he goes for a
ride. So he got the idea of tying
a magnet behind to pick up the
parts which dropped."
"Smart idea, anyway."
"Yes, but in the end Jones
found himself riding on the mag-
