An excellent rinsing water for blond hair is a level teaspoon- ful of borax added to a gallon of water. This brings out all the lights in blond hair. Q. How can I prevent boiled potatoes from becoming watery? A. This is usually caused by allowing the potatoes to remain hi water after they are cooked. Test them with a fork, and as soon as they are tender, drain and shake them for a minute over a low fire. Q. How can I brighten a faded rug or carpet? A. After thoroughly sweep- ing and cleaning the rug or car- pet, wipe it with a cloth wrung out of diluted ammonia. Q. How can I remove beer tains from linens? A. Soak the linens for five minute* in salt and cold water, and then pour a stream of boiling water, held at a height, through the atain until it disappears. Q. How can I pour the paraf- fin onto my jelly so that it may be easily removed later? A. After filling the jar with jelly, lay a strong piece of string about six inches long over the top of each jar. Then pour the paraffin over the cord and allow to harden. When the jelly is to b used, the paraffin will slip 'out easily by taking hold of each end of the string and pulling.

Canadian Crews Man Corvettes Canadian Built Corvettes, Manned by Canadians, Are Proving Efficient and Sea- worthy Corvettes from Canadian ship- yards and manned by Canadian crews are giving efficient service In both United Kingdom and Can- adian waters. Navy Minister Mac- donald said at Ottawa. The minister said the bulk of the corvette order for British and Can- adian navies given to Canadian shipyards a year ago will b in commission before the freezeup this fall and many of them have been In service several months. Working alongside similar ships from British yards, the Canadian- built corvette Is proving exceed- ingly useful and seaworthy. The ships for the Canadian Navy are named after Canadian towns or cities and will carry the names of these towns far and wide. The corvettes built in Great Lakes yards are delivered to the navy at Montreal and at once manned by corvette crews sent up from the east coast. Crews are held in readmtss con- stantly in Montreal go there will be no delay in getting the corvettee Into service as soon as available. Corvettes built below Montreal are taken ove-r at the shipyards by crews from the east coast. New Concrete Job Mjst Be Covered A Suspend Old Act Tidy Sum Saved Antique Law Requiring That Coil Oil Be Tested For Gas- oline Content Is Suspended Progress has caught up with an antique law and Revenue Depart- ment officials in Ottawa predict Canada will save $25.000 annually as a result. In the early days when Cana- dians used coal oil to light their houses, many manufacturers dil- uted It with gasoline, then con- sidered practically worthless. COST $25.000 A YEAR Lamps using this mixture often exploded, causing tire* and bodily damage, so Parliament in 1S77 passed an Act requiring that all coal oil be tested for gasoline con- tent. Administration of the Act cost Canada about $25,000 a year. Now the great demand for gaso- line and the dwindling demand tor coal oil, as well as the modern processes for producing petroleum products, make the time-honored Inspection unnecessary, officials said. Grumbling, His Right Illustrative of the English pro- pensity to grumble the following story is told: "Brown lived tn London, England. He was bomb- d out of his home, grot another one, was bombed out of that. He never complained. Now, however, he's raising h 1 about the scarcity of onions." Herr Hitler doesn't understand tuch a people. But he will. The curing of concrete goes on rapidly during the first week or 10 days after mixing, and as this curing process requires moisture, many a job has been ruined by allowing it to dry too rapidly. Every new job of concrete work should be kept covered from the gun and wind, and thoroughly wet down twice a day for at least h week. This is doubly im- portant in making tanks and will prevent unsightly and unsanitary cracks which may ruin the job. Where there is danger of freez- ing, the sand, gravel and water should be heated before mixing, and the work must be protected carefuly from cold until it is thoroughly set. HAVE YOU HEARD? * The members of the faithful little flock in a town in Scotland had managed to build a church. Everything was considered com- plete until it was discovered that the church had no bell. A campaign was started for funds for a bell, but the parish had been well drained, so the pastor sought funds from outsiders. He finally approached one farmer. The farmer listened, thought a moment, and a.-kr.i: "Ye say ye have a new choorch?" "Yes," said the pastor. "An 1 noo ye want a bell for ut?" "That's right." "Did ye na" say the choorch i heated by steam?" "Yes." "Weel, then, my gude mon, why don't you put a whustle on ut?" o "I'd like to get a book," aid the man who had ap- proached the librarian's pret- ty assistant. "Something deep, if you have it." "Do 700 think this will be deep enough?" the young lady replied. "lt' Twenty Thousand League* Under the Sea." A man stepped into a cigar store and asked the price of a brand of cigars. "Two for fifteen," replied the clerk. "I'll take one," replied the amoker. "That will be ten cents." The buyer paid the dime, took the cigar and left. A Scotsman who had overheard the conversation hurried up to the counter and said: "Here's a nickel . . . I'll take the other one." o Groom: "How did you make thii cake, dear?" Bride: "Here's the recipe. I clipped it from a maga- zine." Groom: "Are you sure you read the right tide? The other tide tell* how to make a rock garden." Henry Ward Beecher entered Plymouth Church one Sunday and found several letters awaiting him. He opened one and found it contained the simple word, "Fool." Quietly and with becom- ing seriousness he announced to the congregation the fact in these words, "I have known many an instance of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, but this is the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter."

F, Goodrich Company In the United States, baa announced the successful development of a new airplane fuel hose which self- teals bullet holes. The hose, used principally to con- nect fuel tank cells and engine su- percharger systems !n combat airplanes, was an outgrowth, the company said, of its earlier devel- opment of self-sealing fuel tanks. It la composed of a synthetic rub- ber, which has high resistance to oil and gasoline. GROW ROOTS NEW WAY Agriculture took to the air today with announcement of a method for growing roots on the rootless euttingrs by merely hanging them up in moist air. The discovery, which free plants of all contact with any kind of oil to start their growth, is of Immediate practical us > to horti- culture. It was described In Science, the official journal of American scientists, by P. P. Pir- one of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station. A home-made box is used, with a rubber curtain dividing the space Into back and front. There are little holes in the curtain, with lath shelves in front. The rootless cut- tings are laid on the shelves, the bare emls. where roots are desired, sticking through the holes. Behind this curtain, where the bare emls project, the air is kept extremely moist by another simple, cheap and easily home-made gad- get. There is a trough of water at the top of the back-curtain pace, with strips of ab ient cloth hanging down, acting as wicks to spread the moisture. In the hig-h moisture thus created In the air, ro-'ts have developed rapidly on many different plant cuttinps. including begonias, ger- aniums, phlox and Ivy. Dormant hardwood cuttings have produced uccessful roots. All these plants have been trans- planted to soil and continued to develop normally. An advantage of the method is ease of seeing, through a glass back-wall of the box, how the roots are developing. It DOES taste good in a pipe I" HANDY SEAL-TIGHT POUCH-IS* y-LB.

Red Cross Boxes To War Prisoners There are now about 70,000 British Commonwealth prisoners of war, it was reported a short time ago by War Services Mini- ster Thorson. The number of food boxes to be packed by the Canadian Rd Cross has been in- creased because of an increase of prisoners and partly because of "some kind of difficulty in doing the packing in the United King- dom." The boxes, packed in Toronto, contain 16 items of food, equival- ent to 2.070 calories and weigh 11 pounds apiece. The cost of each box is about $2.50. The Young Women's Christian Association Is still serving in many parts of the world, according to word received at the present world offices in Washington. Prom Syria, for example, came a message from a YW.C.A. staff member stating that she planned to remain at Beirut "as long as possible." From Ankara. Miss Cora Clary wrote that the Istanbul service centre U working to capacity. In Geneva, a member of the World Y.W.C.A. staff cycles to her office, since motors have practically disap- peared from the streets.

BRANCH AT SHANGHAI From Sydney, Australia comes news of the Y. W. r. A. "Open House." Paris editions of the sen- ior and junior Y.W.C.A. magazines are appearing. In Holland, leader- ship courses have been held. And from Palestine comes word that a part of the Franciscan Hospice, Notre Dame de France, which looks on the Mount of Olives, la to be used for a Y.W.C.A. recreation club and hostel for nurses serving In Palestine. A houseboat on the Nile la a gift to the British Y.W.C.A. Work IB continuing "more or less nor- mally" Is the news from Stock- holm. From India it is learned that one-half of the sum required for one of the desert recreation hots for nurses was donated from a gift of the Maharajah of Darbhanga, to Queen Elizabeth, to be used for such service in memory of his lat wife, whose name the hut will bear.

States Forecasts Paper Shortage Books and Writing Paper May Be Of Poorer Quality- Newspapers Not Affected A shortage in the United States of book, wr.un? and some other types of paper was forecast last week by officials of the office of production management who said also that readers may find before many months that their magazines and books have a yellowish hue. Curtailment of supplies of chlor- ine, used aa a bleaching agent, will result In less "brightening" In some kinds of paper, they ex- plained. Newspapers are little affected because not much chlorine is used in newsprint. CONSUMPTION TO INCREASE The paper shortage, likewise, will not affect newspapers, de- fence officials said, because Can- adian newsprint production has not equalled capacity and s being increased. The shortage in other types of pulp, they saiil, is due largely to greatly Increased demand. Consumption duvine 1940 reach- ed a peak of '; ;nn.'i'io tons and forecasts for 1941 place demand at 18,500,000 tons. In addition, im- ports from Norway have been cut off.
