What Science Is Doing POLIOMYELITIS DISCOVERY llTklence that infantile paralysis lavade« the human body through more than one "door" was reported fa»t week by t-wo Johns Hopkins anedlcal school doctors. The virus disease. In monkeys MMl man, leaves a pattern of in- flamed tissue along nerve tracts forming Its path in the brain to the •Dinal cord, whe're it produces par- Alyeis. This "patt€.rn" indicates by what yortal or "door" the disease enter- Ad. Discovery of the portals is an tmpoTtant step toward preventing fli« disease. ULTRA-VIOLET TELESCOPE A telescope Invented by the dir- ector of General Blectrlc's light re- •ea<rch laboratory at Cleveland, makes It possible for the human 0fe to sea more than 320 miles. Its «an8tructlon Is essentially simple â€" lenses and a screen to receive •altra-violet rays. Nothing but ultra- tlolet rays come into the telescope; yot a machine to discharge such tmye anywhere within the horizon, •tnd the telescope will pick them up. The invention may some day l)e of us© in convoying darkened ipoopships, for the pilots could tdcrnal back and forth with ultra- Tiolet light, free from any danger fhM enemy submaiines would see llh«>in. OXYGEN FOR DIESELS Widespread use of diesel-engined airplanes has been brought a step «Ioe«r through successful experi- •tvemts with a new oxygen boosting fii«thod of facilitating the takeoffs. Experiments showed that by feed- tn£ the oxygen Into the intake air of a. Diesel engine, its power out- Jlfat could be increased by 55 per oent. for a few minutes without de- tonation and without undesirable •train on the engine. HELIUM ALTERS VOICE ' The full resonant voice of a man 1b changed to a thin childish voice â- when the mouth Is tilled with hel- IDim, the light non-explosive gas 1tB«d for filling airships, it has re- «eiitly been discovered. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Should a host and hostess plan â- tome kind of activity toi- every minute of the time they are enter- ifttning house guests? A. One should of course plan a aomber of activities, bu.t not neces- sarily for every minute. Nor should fhep persist that each guest enter ^to this entertainment, as though it were compulsory. They should be more in the form of suggestions. Q. When two men and two girls ar« eating In a public place, at a â- mall table, how should they be ylaced? A. The girls should be opposite M«li other. Q. What is a suitable tip for pag- Ins In a hotel? A. Fifteen to twenty-five cents. <). Doesn't the bride and her mo- ther make up the Invitation list for a large wedding? A. Yes, together with the bride- Croom and his mother, who u WBCb right to Include their friends M the bride's family. Q. When a man takes a girl to Abiner and suggests something on ibe menu, is it necessary for her te take it? A. It Is not necessary, but it ki traclous of her if she does. Q. la It good taste for a woman la • church choir to wear consplc- Woe earrings? A. No. Greenland Seeks Canadian Trade JBeke Brun, Danish Governor, of Greenland, arrived In Boston, jiass., early in July for the ao- aennced purpose of arranging more Inkle between Greenland and the ItaUed States. After completing Msotiations in Washington, Gov- ernor Brun was said to be coming to Canada for the same purpose. Her commerce seriously affected *y the war, Greenland hopes to sell Mr products to Canada and the pnited States and to purrbase sup- gDlefl. he said. rFEMALE Mill Women who suffer painful, Irregu- kkjr perlodB with ncrvou.s, moody •pclTs clue to functional cause •hould Ilnd LyUla E.

Kirby, in a recent address at Guelph, said that when the mass of people are prepared to ally themsel .ci with the leaders in the scientifio world the so- ca ;ed preveiitaQle diseases wi.'J cease to exist. STILL A CONCERN â- 'There is, however, a signifi- cant number of disabling condi- tions, the control of which is still concerning the best minds in the field of medical research," Mr. Kirby told the Ontario Veter- inary Association. He was of the opinion that while much will ultimately be re- vealed as to the cause of these diseases, the early establishment of sound health habits and a t"on- tro.'Jed prog^ram will do much to lower the death and sickness rates. INSTRUCTION TO CHILDREN Mr. Kirby suggested suitably instructions should be given reg- ularly to children and that provis- ion should be made for early discovery and correction of phys- ical defects so commonly found in early days of childhood: The minister said that a satis- factory health program is of the utmost importance in the success- ful prosecution of the war. Canada Launches Submarine Chaser Without ostentation, in a war set- ting, one of a fle«t of sleek Canad- ian-built submairine chasers was launched from an Eastern shipyard. While rain fell from dull skies overhead, and while a couple of hundred grimy workmen cheered, the trim craft .slid along greased runways Into the St. Lawrence River. A handful of company offi- cials, several of the Royal and Roy- al Canadian Navy's officers and s lone khaki-clad military represen- tative were on hand. Constructed of Canadian mater- ials by Canadian craftsmen, the war vessel will serve under the ensign of the British Royal Navy soon after she is outfitted. WILD FLOWER NAiME? Rear-Admiral H. A. Sheridan, R.N., Admiralty representative on the British Supply Board, cut the white ribbon that sent the cham- pagne bottle smashing against the bow of the ship. No woman had been asked to par- ticipate In the official christening, simiply because no name had yet been decided on by the Admiralty in London. The likelihood is, Rear- Admiral Sheridan said, that she wUl bear the title of a Canadian wild flower, following the style of aimiliar British-made submarine fighters. imis* . . _,;ce V wm ^ tor "'*'â-  * .;on tbat . . ,„„ «-^ - ""^ .oo • '"'"'°* n ever. «•« '•^' 'Z .-' «^''' ' . be b- «»"« "l^: Not o"».

A man who held the belief that after a youth had attained his majority he should be taught tn fend for himself, gave his son ii thousand dollars, and told hir.i that henceforth he would have to earn his own living. The young man did no work, but spent a riotous few months abroad, and then found himself almost penni- less. His sole desire was to get home, .50 he decided to send a cable. He found he had money suffi- cient to pay for only four 'i;ords so, after considerable thoURht, he telegraphed to hi.s father:. "Fatted calf for one !" Music Lover; "Don't you ihink music draws the Eng- lish-spealcin(r races togeth- rr?" Another: "Yes, a sort of .Anglo-Saxaphone alliance." The sailor was recounting hi.? experiences to a dear old lady when she interrupted him. "But what rank did you hold?" she asked. "Ship'.s optician, lady," was the reply. "Ship's optician? I never knew there was such a rank in the Navy. What did your duty con- sist of?" asked the old lady, cur- j'lusly. "Scraping the eyes out of pota- toes," was the startling reply. â€" o^ â€" A Montreal boy given a ten dollar bill to buy a pack- et of cigarettes, disappeared and was laer found at To- ronto.

"Did that new assistant of yours write our advertisement iii the 'Daily Dash' today?" he roar- ed. "Yes, sir," nervously replied the chief of the advertising de- partment. "Is there anything wrong with it, sir?" "Wrong with it?" screamed the managing director. "Listen to this: 'Don't kill your wife with hard work; let us do it for you'." 45 P. C. Increase In C. N. Revenue The gross revenues of the ail- inclusive Canadian National Rail- ways for the week ending July 7, 1940 were $4,725,996 as compared with 3,248,942 foT the corresponding week of 1939, an in- crease of 1.477,045 or 45.5% Poles Came Early To Canadian Lands While Polish immigration in volume commenced at the end of the last century, histoi-y records that when Lord Selkirk arrived with his ext>edition of Scottish settlers in 1812, some Polish were added to his contingent in East- ern Canada and proceeded with him to the Red Eiver Valley in Manitoba. In noting this fact, the Colonization Department of the Canadian National Railways states that in addition to being excel- lent farmei-s the Poles have con- tributed generously to the up- building of Western Canada by a traditional culture which in- cludes folk songs, dances and a national drama.
