Fire And The Sword" Laid Waste This Polish Villaga A village fire brigade ••jomewhere in Poland" is shown making a gailauc but futile effort to fight a blaze caused by German incendiary bombs dropped during an air ra id. Notice the lack of proper equipment, the water being drawn from hor3e-Jrawn tank carts. Each fireman wears a gas mask slung across his shoulder. Have You Heard A young man consulted a doc- tor. He was afraid of a nervous breakdown. "Why?" asked the doctor. The man replied; '"Because I talk to myself all the time." "That doesn't prove that you're going to have a breakdown," said the doctor. "But I'm so boring," objected the- patient. â€" o â€" "Many film actresses a.re ta be pitied rather than envied," declares a novelist who has been visiting Hollywood.

"Mine laid two eggs," said an- other, not bo be outdone. But their small hostess had the last word. "My daddy laid a corner-stone," she announced. â€" o â€" Confused Passenger: "Lei me off at the next stop, con- ductor; I thought this was a lunch wagon." Sambo had found a job for the week on a railroad section gang, and was taking leave of his fam- ily, when his wife came to the door. "Come back, Sam. You hasn't cut a stick of wood fo' de stove â€" and you'll be gone fo' a week!" Same turned and looked very much aggrieved. "Honey,", he said in a tone of injured innocence, "what's dc mattah?

What Science ^ IS Doing ^ GADGET FIXES FABIES' JAWS Babies are being trained nowa- days to stick out their chins, so that they won't have receding jaws when they grow up. A device attache<l to a nursing bottle does the trick. It is simply a small bar-sh.iped affair attached to a rubber nipple and then fitted to a nursing bottle. The bar presse:. against the in- fant's upper lip, tending to keep the nipple just out of satisfactory range. The baby doesn't jet any- where with his lunch unless he thrusts his lower jaw forward to get a firmer hold on the nipple. â€" o â€" NEW TYPE SUGAR IN BLOCD Two scientists have reported finding a new tyge of sugar in the blood of persons with certain in- fection:?, a discovery supplying a missing chapter to the story of disease.

Ontario When Turnip Goes Stylish Ontario Product For Export Across the Line Is A Fancy Vegetable There are sections ot Ontario wliiclx export turnips, and the tur- nip in that trade has become quita a dandy, says the Peterborough Examiner. It is cleaned and waxed and in soma cases the shipping sta- tion puts its name on the product. The trades takes the turnips to the United States, but the cows do not get them there. They are for table use, and there are plenty of people across the line who are convinced our turnip has a taste all its own. They regard them as many of our folk do the sweet potato from the South. Gets Twenty Cents A Bushel Right now the export business has commenced. Last year prices ranged from 10 to 12 cents per bu- shel, but good turnips are now quoted at from 15 to 18 cents per bushel. lu addition shipments are always paid for in American funds and that adds at least 10 per cent, to the receipts. When through demand, taste or favorable exchange turnips get to the position where they enter the sphere ot 20 cents per bushel they have joined the aristocracy ot ag- rioiiltuial big wigs. SCOUTING Canadian Boy Scouts who ara looking fov opportunities of useful non-military wartime service may find inspiration in the various kinds of service being found by their brother Scouts in England under the immediate cloud of war. la one rural town, during the evacuation of women and children from London, says a summary re- port just received from Imperial Headquarters of the Boy Scouts Association, 70 blind and infirm people arrived quite unexpectedly. Scouts and Girl Guides immedi- ately went to the rescue. They :ollected and filled straw mattresc- es for use in improvised sleeping quarters, aiianged for blankefts and food, and gave all other pos- sible aid to the helpless persons. â€" o â€" The summary gives extracts of sample district retports received from different parts of England. "For obvious reasons the reports are identified by numbers instead of names of places." Report No. 1. Great help was given at evacuation time. Thirty Scouts were on duty at the railway station, and an average of ten Scouts were on duty at 28 schools to assist the teachers. Report No. 2. Twenty-five Scouts on duty. Jobs include tele- phoning, supplying messengers, filling sand bags and helping farm- ers with the harvest. Report No. 3 tells of Sixty Scouts on sand bag filling. Report No. 4, apparently from one of the larger areas, tells of all Scout Troop meetings being held on Saturday afternoons, to avoid use of headquarters building after sunset â€" a bombing precau- 3 tion. Assistance in day and night shifts is being given by Scouts and Rover Scouts at hospitals and nursing homes. Farm Forum • • (Conducted by Professor Henry G. Bell, of the Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph, with the Assistance of other members of the Staff of the O.A.C.) Q. â€" I would like to have your opinion on using Ammo-Phos. Fer- tilizer for Fall Wheat on a medi- um clay loam soil. I have used a small quantity of manure, and wonder if 50 lbs. per acre would be plenty. I was satisfied with it on Spring Grain last year at 50 lbs. per acre. "J. B. V., â€" Brant Co." A. â€" In answer to your inquiry of the 24th, I wish to say that Ammo-Phos. supplies two essential nutrients for the growth of Fall Wheat, namely, Nitrogen and Phosphate. If the clay loam has been fairly well farmed and al- ready produces fairly heavy straw growth, I am of the opinion that straight Ammo-Phos. may supply too much Nitrogen and cause the grain to go down. This would not likely occur at 50 lbs. per acre. Ammo-Phos. of course, car- ries no Potash. Clay soil is natu- rally fairly well supplied with Pot- ash unless it is a piece of land which has been heavily cropped for some years. One other point: Ammo-Phos. is a very concentrat- ed form of fertilizer, hence be careful not to apply it too heavily next to the seed. Q. â€" Please tell me what is the value of chicken manure (fresh and dry) compared with Nitrate of Soda. I want to use the chick- en manure chiefly on asparagus .and orchard. ",f. W. P., .Middle- sex Co." e/ianrec&t-'''..%%%'' NONE FINER MADE DOUBLE AUTOMATIC BOOKLET A. â€" Answering your inquiry of the 2(>th, as to comparison of chicken manure with Nitrata of Soda. Poultry manure carries to the ton 22 lbs. Nitrogen, 17 of Phosphoric Acid and 11 of Pot- ash. Nitrate of Soda (15% N.) carries to the ton 300 lbs. Nitro- gen, no Phosphorus and no Potaali. This shows that the Nitrate of So- da is about 14 times as strong in Nitrogen as the chicken manure, but it docs not carry the other in- gredients. This will give you a guide as to the rate at which you would apply the Nitrate of Soda to the asparagus and orchard, if you were making a basic applica- tion of say, 200 lbs. of Nitrate of Soda per acre. The chicken man- ure is valuable as a dressing to the orchard, providing the trees need Nitrogen. This you could judge by the twig growth. The asparagus will benefit materially by the Phosphate and Potash if chicken manure is applied to it. Car of Future Like A House Prediction That It Will Be A Home on WheeU With Hardly Any Increase in Sixe The automobile ot the future, as described by Edwin L. Alien, a well-known figure in the American auto industry, resembles a horns more than the present vehicles that fill city streets. "In the not too distant future," ha said, " we will walk up to our car, push a button, and the door will open. We will have the impres- sion of entering a commodious room. It will not be necessary to crawl around stationary seats and trip over bumps and tunnels In the floor. The seats will be light, mov- able chairs and the floor will be wide and flat. "A portion ot the roof will be made of a curved translucent mat- erial which will admit the health- giving rays of the sun, at the same time removing the glare. A series ot buttons will regulate the temp- erature and humidity to any dealr- ed condition of air. Pressing an- other button will unfold a conceal- ed bed from out o( the partition b»- tween the passenger and engine compartments. Many little passen- ger conveniences will be installed, such as toilet and lavatory facilit- ies. All of this will be done without Increasing the widtli or the height of the car at all and the length only slightly." "As W8 glide along," he said, "we will not be cut off from com- munication with the outside world, for there will be radio speakers and microphones in tha walls, and without removing our eyes from the road we will be able to preis a button and carry on a two-way conversation with our home or of- fice." .V(;l;.\TS WAXTKU AGKNT TO SELL ME.N'S NECK- ties for 25 cents each.

Germans Wear Special Armor Return to Mediaeval Cottum* Adopted for Machine Gun* ners Dispatches from the westera front in Popolo dl Roma ItalUa newspaper, have described a new kind ot armor â€" reminiscent ot horse and buggy days as well aa the ago of knighthood â€" being worn liy German soldiers. Tha armor consists of stream- lined shields, the newspaper said,. .Tud ot helmets with metal side- boards â€" similar in appearance to blinders for horses â€" designed to protect the face. Shields And Blinders The armor, especially designed for sharpshooter units, -as saiil to be of almost impenetrable alloy. For offensive purposes, it was said, each armored soldier was equip- ped with a small machine gun fir- ing 120 bullets a minute. These sharpshooter groups, th» reports said, were organized lata small units which saw action oa the western front for the first time late in ""eptember. Good Market For Tobacco Is Seen Ontario Producers Likely Ta Benefit By Preference Flue-cured tobacco growers of Oafe- arlo anticipate a fairly brisk maiv ket this tall for their 1939 crow, with announcements made that tha British buyers ^vill give preferenca to the Empire crops. Representa- tives of the major buying compao- io3, inspecting new crops, conflrna these reports. The war Is expected to increase rather than decreaaa the demand for tobacco, particulap- ly cigarette types. The latest estimate of the 1939 flue-cured crop is from 85,000,00* to 38,000,000 pounds, or from «,09»- 000 to 5,000,000 pounds under tha 1938 record-breaking crop of 92,~ 000,000 pounds.
