f^ Hitler's Yacht Detained Them In Mid-Ocean r 4 ' Boris Lindbolm, Erne Karlssau, and Hehiier Gustavsoii (1.. lo R-) o^- Acera aboard the Finnish freighter, Siggy, an-iving in New York, toW liow thay had been Iialted in mid-Atlantic by Adolf Hitler's personal yacht, fEe Azico Grille, TOP, and ordered to Stettin, Germany, where BMQr were held for twenty-one days. They said the Azico Grille has itcn tonied over to the navy and outfitted as a raider. Letters For Hitler Taken From Mails The lalesman stopped at the house and asked the lady if he eoald interest her husband in an electric razor. "He might be interested in your razor," she remarked, "for he riiaves close onto once a year." "Shaves once a year!" echoed the salesman. "I never heard of anything like it." The lady nodded. "He used to â- have twice a year," she drawled. "B«t that was when we had lady lodgers." "You promised to be good," •Jtlfl the mother reproachfully. "I know," said the small boy; "but it was only a Hitler promise." The foreman of a gang of rail- way men had more than his share «f Irish wit. One day he was walking along his section of the line when he found one of his men fast asleep In tlie (hade of a hedge. Eyeing the man with a smile, he said : "Slape on, ye idle spalpeen, alape «n. So long as ye slape ye've jot a Job, but when ye wake up ye're out of work." "I'm sure you'll forgive me, â- ay ^ar," aaid the expansive to her guest, "if I go OB with my knitting while you •re taUdag. Then I slwn't feel I'm wasting my time." â€" o £^ren in these days economy can h« overdone. If you doubt it, lis- ten to the Rev. E. Streete, Vicar of Aahford, Middlesex, England. Here's his appeal from the pulpit the other Sunday: "I have no objection to buttons being put in the offertory plate, but please do not take them off the hassocks." "What's the fundamental difference between a man and a woman?" "A man will pay $2 for a $1 article be wants, while a woman will pay $1 for a $2 article she doesn't want." Three letters addressed to Ad- olf Hitler have been removed from airmails travelling from the Unit- ed States to Europe by way of Bermuda, censorship officials dis- closed. The chief c-ensor would not re- veal their contents. They were ad- dressed, respectively, to "Herr .\.d- olph," '•Chancellor Hitler," and "Fuehrer." HEALTH TOPICS ACID STOMACH A MYTH Acid stomach is largely a mytii and calls for reavrangement of living habits rather than the use of alkaline preparations, according to Prof. Chester .M. Jones of Har- vard Medical school. 'Hyperacidity,"' he said in a lec- ture, "usually i.s only a supposed chemical disorder of the stomach" and taking medicine is not the way to attack the fundamental cause, which is "usually one of improper dietary or living habits." â€" â€" A NATIONAL OBJECTIVE "Education is the most potent weapon in the campaign of pre- vention of ill health arising from faulty or defective diet and nu- trition." Pointing this out to a large audience in Toronto, Hon. Ian Mackenzie, Dominion Minis- ter of Health, endorsed and launched a project undertaken by the Health League of Canada to advise women on the right foods to use. Practical demonstrations in cooking are to be given in a number of city schools. The syl- labus for the course of instruc- tion has been stieutifically devel- oped and when the success of the project is known, it is intended to outline the technique adopted, for the benefit of any part of Can- ada desirous of undertaking sim- ilar work. The field of nutrition, said the Minister of Health, wag above all the one in which Canadians, as individuals, could learn the most with the greatest benefits to them- selves. "We need health in our armed forces," he continued. "We need health in the nation and we can achieve it only by having health in the home. Victory in the field will be a hollow achievement in this war if all that remains i.s a devitalized homo land. Wo must not let down our healtli standard. On the contrary, if we are to be worthy »f our fighting men we must strive to go forward in our war agaiiLst ill-health." During the last fifty years no animal plagues such as Foot and Mouth diseases, rinderpest er pleuro-pneumonia have occurred among Canadian live stock. THE SPASMS OF moopinqW UCKLEY M I XTUOE What Science is Doing MAGNIFIES 33,000 TIMES Scientists have succeeded in tak- ing photogi'aphs of germs magni- fied as many as 33,000 limes their normal size, it is revealed in the Canadian Medical .A-ssociation Jour- nal. The instrument used to achieve this magnification is the electron microscope, constructed in the De- partment of Physics by J. Hilller and -A. Pi'esbus, research assist- ants, under the direction of Dr. E. F. Burton, head of the depart- ment at the University of Toron- to. The magnification is 28,000 times greater than that of the or- dinary microscope. University re- searchers express hope they will be able to photograph viruses nev- er seen by the eye. The new microscope is being us- ed also to photograph blood, in the hope that changes denoting the presence of cancer may be de- tected much earlier than by pre- sent diagnosis. It also is hoped that effect of drugs upon pneu- monia may be gauged, particular- ly on the fatty, protective cover, ing of this germ and of tubercul- osis. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE SEE THE NEW NORGE AT YOUR LOCAL DEALER'S Finns Known As Magicians 1. What should a young- man do when at a party or other affair, and he finds himself next to a girl to whom he has not been in- troduced? 2. Is it all right for a bride to liave the initials that will be hers when married, placed on her silverware and linen? 3. Should a napkin be held above the edge of the table when unfold- ing it? 4. What sized tip should one give for services in a beauty sal- on? 5. When eating in a public place, and the waiter passes a dish, should one say, "No thank you," or merely "No"? 6. Isn't it pcor taste for a hus- band or a wife to make fun of the other Xvhen in company? Answers Say, "I am Ralph Wilson. 1 do not believe I have met you be- fore." 2. Yes. Many modern brides do this. 3. N'o. The napkin should be unfolded on the lap. 4. If the services do not e.xceed three dol- , lars, twenty-five cents is suffic- ient. If more than three dollars, one may apply the ten per ccn: rule. 5. One should say, "'So thank you." Courtesy is never out of place. 6. Yes; even when done jokingly it is not good form. Hiding a wii-e in his false beard, a man concealed it until sent lo prison in France for daring jewel thefts, and after he had escaped by picking the lock, guards found the wire and hair on the floor of his cell.

In those ancient days ships did not have polyglot crews and lascars If not landlub- bers were not seen in European waters. Indt»ed a "lascar" seems to have meant originally one attached to the "lasnkai-" or army and pre- sumably he was not eveu a marine. British sailors were long unwill- THAT'S EASY -BIG BEN!
