ST IN FUN
Landmark
An elderly pian standing in a
queue telt someone nudge him on
the back. Turning sharply he saw
a youth about to leave the place
behind hint.
"I'm going across the road to
buy some cigarettes," said the
youth.
"That's no reason why you
should bump me on the back." re-
torted the elderly gentleman.
"I didn't bump you on the
back," the young man said, just as
indignantly, "I just put a chalk
mark on your coat so that I should
not forget my place in the queue.'
Great Speech
For the first time in his life he
bad been asked to make an after-
dinner speech. and for days before
the function he rehearsed his ora-
tion before his wife.
Finally the great day arrived,
and on his retgral hone his proud
wife enquired how the speech had
been received
In Style
Mrs. Style: "I want a hat, but
it must be in the latest style."
Shopman: "Kindly take a chair,
madam, and wait a few minutes.
The fashion is just changing."
Sentimeaital
'lhe Scotsman had lost a pound
note. Sadly he entered the adver-
tisement office of the local news-
paper and handed in the notice he
wanted inserted in the "Lost and
Found" column.
The clerk had difficulty in re-
straining his mirth when he read,
"Lost, a one pound note. Senti-
mental value."
Just Like That
The inventor of a new type of
band grenade says: "You merely
press a small projection on the
casing. a detonator explodes the
barge, and there you are." Or
there you aren't, as the case may
be.
Abbreviated
The private had been given the
job of announcing the guests at a
party at the major's house.
"Captain Jones, Mrs. Jones and
Miss Jones," he called when they
arrived.
"Shorten your announcements,"
whispered the sergeant. "Captain
Jones and family would have been
sufficient,"
The next arrivals were Lieut.
Penny and his family.
"Fr'nrpencel" announced the
private.
Pat Wins
Three tramps had boiled a
ch'cken and were arguing how to
divide it. One suggested they
should toss a coin. "Head," called
Sam. "Tail," called Torn. "I'll
take what's left," said Pat.
Quick Sale
In t'ae !canoe of a large hotel
nuc; eatrcrized by black market
ne-c-ar:ts. `.e' doctors were con -
paring notes. One remarked to the
other. "I -;e 5„ a g~Fat many cases

Inexperienced

your son stealing those chicken.
I've decided to let him off this
time, but why don't you show him
the right way?"
Satyr: "Ah done tried hard Judge
but he goes and gets hisself caught
anyhow."
A Reminder
An absent minded man called
upon his friend, the fancily doctor.
After chatting for a couple of
hours, the doctor saw him to the
door and, as he was shaking hands,
said: "Come again soon, old chap
family all well, I suppose?"
"Good heavens!" exclaimed his
'visitor. "That reminds me fly
wife's in a fit!"
Cheap
A doctor was knocked up in a
small village at about 3 a.m. by a
man who asked hint to come out
a immediately to a place ten miles
away. The doctor dressed quickly
and got out his car, and they drove
furiously to their destination.
Upon arrivel the man asked:
"What is your fee. doctor?"
"Half a guinea," he replied, in
sone surprise
"Here it is then," said the man
handing over the stoney, "and
cheap, too. The garage man
wanted thirty bob • to drive me
over."
Comfortable Misery
It may be true, as some cheer-
lul philosophers tell us, that money
does not bring happiness. but it
does help one to be miserable in
comfort.
'NO SAFETY, NO 'SCHOOL'SAY THEIR MOTHERS
Irate mothers in Tormey, Calif., are keeping 14 school children out "on strike" and have issued a
"No Cop, No Kids" ultimatum to county office a The mother - sponsored strike was called because
no crossing guard had been sent to Tormey to escort children across hazardous highway.
HIGH — AND ALMOST DRY — ON A SAND BAR
A drama of the sea is told graphically in this remarkable closeup of a grounded ship and the sand
bar that stopped her. The vessel is the liberty ship Helena Modjeska, which grounded on the Goodwins
on the English coast. This inglorious end of his ship's voyage prompted the Modjeska's, skipper to
shoot himself when he went ashore.

After a hard day s work, wheth
er in the field. factory, office or
home, appetites are usually pretty
keen, especially with cooler even-
ings to help put an edge on them.
The young fry don't have to be
given a secon.l call to sapper as a
rule these days either.
There are still many dclicioi'a
desserts using late fruits such as
cobblers or cottage puddings made
by topping fruit with slightly
sweetened tea biscuit dough, or
plain cake batter. baking and serv-
ing with a fruit sauce. Baked
Brown Betties made with alter-
nate layers of fruit and fine dry
bread crumbs, mixed with a litt'e
melted fat and sugar are always
popular favorites.
1'io home ecanomists of the Do-
minion Department of Agricul-
ture's Consutner Section, offer re-
cipes today which will provide
either hearty main courses. or, as
in the case of the Cucumber Soup,
with the addition. of a good sapid
and dessert, will round out a sub
stantial supper menu. The two
cucumber recipes also take advan-
tage of those large or partly ripe
cucumbers which may be hard, to
use up.
Corn Potato Scallop
4 cups slice: raw potato (cut m
;q inch slices)
2 cups corn cut from the cob
(raw or cook.'d)

Strike Affects
h-i1e Nation
Strike Halts Production At Soda
Ash Plant With Far Reaching
Results
It's quite possible that you've
never heard of soda ash. Until
quite recently it did not figure very,
much in the news. Btit whether'
you know it or not, it affects al-
most every phase of your daily life,
says the Sarnia Canadian Observer.
Soda ash is an industrial neces-
..sity. It is produced at only one
factory in Canada — a compara-
tively small chemical plant at Am-
herstburg. The employees number
only four hundred, but they happen
to be on strike. The result is this:
The big paper mills are worried
over the possibility of cutting pro-
duction, even making temporary
layoffs, because they are running
short of soda ash.
The production of aluminum,
from which so many household
utensils are made, is being cut ap-
preciably for want of soda ash.
Bottle manufacturers and users
are making frantic appeals to the
public to conserve bottles. The
dairy industry, according to the
president of the National Dairy
Council, can only function normally
for a short time more unless house-
wives return every possible bottle.
All this for want of soda ash
And if the Amherstburg strike
were settled today, it would take
nearly two months to get glass -
making furnaces back to the re.
quired 2,700 -degree temperature.
Autumn Suppers
wise, remove seeds and soft pot -
tion 'with a spoon. Cook cucum-
bei; in boiling salted water for 5
minutes. Drain well. Cook sausage
meat, add seasonings and • crumbs
and mix well together. Pile stuf-
fing in cucumber shells. Place in a
greased baking dish and bake in a
hot oven, 400 deg. F., for 25 min-
utes, or until cucumbers are ten-
der. Six servings.
