(f 'R«)r«l Tour" Pietare* Enjoyed by C«nacK«n Girk kmorice of the rectnt royal tour of Canada were recalled by the party of 30 Canadian school girls who •t present visiting Enerland, when they visited the exhibition of royal tour pictures at St. James' Palace. Wkat Science is ^ Doing ^ CHEAPER PLASTIC A plastic compound made from Mm lignin and cellulose of sugar tiie bagasse, one of the country's ortant agricultural waate pro- BCta, has been manufacture<l by chemists of the United States De- fsrtment of Agriculture at the fcicultural By-Produets Labora- , Ames, Iowa. The chemirts Mtbnate that this new compound can be manufactured for less than 'htU the cost of the cheapest syn- Xetic plastic compounds now on t market. VITAMINS AND OLD AGE Evidence that senility and other ifvnptoms of old age are accom- |«nied by typical signs of vitamin deficiency was presented recently ky Professor L. A. Cherkes, direc- tor of the Odessa Institute of Nu- trition, U.S.S.R. Experiments on animals and numerous observa- tions on patients showed, he re- ported, that the processes taking place on teeth and bones in old ye do not differ in anything from nose resulting from a deficiency of vitamins in the organism. The obeerv-ations have led Professor Cherkes to conclude that the di- l^stive tract not only absorbs vi- tamins from food but also trans- forms a number of inactive food »omponents into active vitamins. Aa the body grows older this ca- pacity of the digestive tract grows waaker. Many symptoms of senil- ity, hitherto regarded as manifes- tations of an inevitable physiolo- gical pocess, he believes, are, but a result of the body not keeping up with it« requirements in vitamins, which must be supplied in greater amounts with the advance of the years. â€" â€" NEW METALLIC COMPOUND Discovery of a new metallic compound capable of cutting and smoothing the toughest metals and haarder than the hardest steel used to manufacture tools was reported to the American Chemical Society by Philip M. McKenna of the Mc- Kenna Metals Company, Latrobe, Pa. The material is obtained by heating tungsten, titanium and carbon in crucibles of pure gra- phite, the mixture being heated in a bath of molten nickel to a tem- perature of 2,000 degrees lor a prolonged period. The new com- pound is only 0.2 softer than a diamond, the hardest substance known; and is expected, because of its ability to retain a sharp cut- ting edge at high temperatures, to increase the speed with which stainless steels can be machined, thus resulting in considerable eco- nomics in manufacture. To the farmer and prospective settler, the Animal Husbandry Di- vision of the Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, offers the results of many years experience, accruing from the maintenance of approxi- mately 8,000 head of livestock on the Dominion Experimental Farms and Stations in different parts of every province of Canada. ^#r- ROUMD TRIP FARES TO BRITISH PORTS TOWMST CLASS ^184-°^p THIRD CLASS ^13^»^ Four waakt allowed othor* in Europt. *Faic9 slic^Uy hicbcr if rctuminc before Sepi. 24.

Ctodlhe WprUOvtr Have Yob Heaid The Wrong Note A new governor was paying Ws Hret visit to a Gold Coast town. Two banners greeted him. "Hie first rea<l: "Welcome to our itfnr Governor." The second was: "God help Our Administration." On another occasion, when tl^ King and Queen, th«n Duke vj^ Duchess of York, visited MaurMl- ue, they expressed regret that they couldn't stay more than three days in the island. A local paper printed "stay" as "rtand". â€" o â€" Cool According to a wrttor a g^l who is clever with ker Beedle can aaalce a charminf summer frock for next to aotbing.

Little Mary: "Well, hoiw abowt dumping out the cod liver oil, palsy walsy?" Definition Economy means keeping away from the neighbours ia- atead of keeping up wnh them. The latest U.S. cburch device for "raising the wind" is what a religious paper describes as "some collection box." The inventor hails from Oklahoma, If a member of the congregation drops in a twen- ty-five-cent piece or a coin of a larger value, there is silencee. R it is a ten-cent piece a bell rings, a five-cent piece sounds a whistle, and a cent fires back a blank cart- ridge. If any one pretends to be asleep when the box passes, H awakens him with a watchman's rattle, and a camera takes his por- trait. â€" o â€" Really "It's nice to see you agaio, old man; I thought you were dead."

And then I'm go- ing to get a scholarship to tiie Grammar School. Then I shall get ar scholarship to Oxford ; and after I have finished at Oxford, I am going to drive a motor bus." "Mert Beautiful CHy In The World" "Everywhere there is something odd or different to be seen. Take Rio de Janeiro, for instance. There is no place in the world that re- eembles It. I would call it Uie most beautiful city in the world. Here everything is spectacular. High mountains shoot up from centres of population. Splendid reaches abound on all sides. It is a glorious place. Nowhere is there such a combination of lea, shore and mountain. "Weather permitting, our pas- sengers will get a thrill out of Tristan da Cunha, a rock in the sea and a thousand miles from anywhere. Her potatoes and fish ^e the main items of food, but the eight to ten score of people who live there are happy. This is the place where girls pray for a good shipwreck so they can get mar- ried." iMue No. 34 â€" '39 Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. â€" Isn't an envious person un- popular? 2. â€" Should a girl ever send a gift to a man whom she likes? 3. â€" Who is usually the last one to make a speech at a public din- ner? 4. â€" How many attendants should a widow have at her sec- ond marriage? 5. â€" When playing golf and there is a foursome just ahead of you, how long should you wait before driving? C. â€" When serving tea to guests where tables are not provided, shouldn't one avoid serving any- thing that requires the use of a fork? Answers 1. â€" Yes, always. An old Latin proverb says, "He who envies an- other admits his own inferiority." And, of course, it is difficult for an inferior person to become popu- lar. 2. â€" Not unless she is en- gaged to be married to this man, and then the only gifts necessary are at Christmas and on his birth- day. 3. â€" The guest of honor, or the most prominent person pres- ent, who is seated at the toast- master's right, is usually asked to speak last. 4. â€" Never more than one attendant and more often none. 5. â€" Wait until all four of the players ahead of you are too far away for your drive to inter- fere. 6. â€" Yes; it is better to avoid the fork. I? How Can BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. â€" ^How can I keep g^rapes fresh for a long time? A. â€" Cut a circular piece out of a pumpkin or gourd, large enough to insert the hand. Clean out the Interior thoroughly, place ripe ^apes inside, and replace the cov- •r securely. Keep in a cool place, and the grapes will keep fresh for a long time. , Q. â€" How can I mend broken marble ? A. â€" To mend broken marble, stick the pieces together after ap- plying Portland cement and water which have been mixed into a very stiff paste. Q. â€" How can I treat tired nerves ? A. â€" Heat some milk to the scal- ding point, add a little salt, and drink it as hot as possiblec. This ii also a' sleep producer. Q. â€" How can I clean a soiled photograph ? A. â€" Sponge it very lightly with a cloth wrung from warm water containing a little ammonia. An- other method is to moisten some absorbent cotton with alcohol and rub very gently until the photo- DOUBLE AUTOMATIC BOOKLET graph is clean. Let it dry natur- ally. Q. â€" How can I prevent silk from cracking or becoming hard ? A. â€" Always press it under a piece of damp muslin, using a moderately hot iron, until the mus- lin is quite dry. Prevention Rather Than Cure Some accidents in the home can be prevented easily â€" thus saving the harassment of a domestic ac- cident and the pain of the cure. One such accident which is fairly frequent among women is the painful hammering of a thumb when trying to hammer in a nail ! Here is a scheme to prevent such a crushing possibility! Next time you are ready to do odd jobs about the house which involve hammer- ing in of nails try sticking the nail through a piece of stout card- board and holding it with this â€" "mis-hits" are then harmless, and your thumb remains whole! "When I compare the state of our armed forces and our ability to resist attack as it is today with what it v.as only a year age, I f sel we can face the future with calm confidence in our gi-owing strength."â€" Prime Minister Cham- berlain. f^LWlSlOl^' ,»»&; The Right Idea An Austrian baron of royal blood, just arrived in Canada and planning to be a farmer, announ- ces that though he fought on the German side in the last war, "I will fight for the English people this war, if it comes. It will fight for Great Britain because I know I will be fighting on the side which stands for the rights of people ; ' I shall be on the right side." Canada can do with a lot of newcomers who feel like this. vBRINGS INSTANT EASK /rom n> lOi (Deoomlralsdby R.CA. Vldor cnslnesn) Wiiaf s tlie fniiire of Tdevisioii ? How does it work ?
