$HEWAS MY HVWIWE SOCIALMENACE "I thought I had a life-long victim when I dragged her down from socialite to *odal menace. Too much coffee and tea upset bet she became my best example of caffeine- nerves. Then she switched to Postum and soon after she started the thirty-day Postum test her irritability vanished.

How can I prevent deli- cate-colored wash materials from fading? A. Before they are washed, soak them in lukewarm water, to which a few drop* of turpentine have been added. Q. How can I wash straw matting? A. Wash the matting with a cloth dampened in hot salt water, Uing a handful of salt to a bucket of hot water. Wash only a small space at a time and wipe dry at once. This also prevents It from turning yellow. Q. How can I remove the hell more easily from a hard- boiled e)jp? A. Crack the egg firmly down on a tnble, and roll back and forth a few times.

Ordinary table butter is excellent for this purpose. Bets on Russia A delayed despatch advised re- cently that Hnlph liif.-i- nil, edi- tor of I'M, hud arrived at Ankara from Moscow on his way back to the U.S.A. with a report on the Ituttle of Hu.-siu. He told a United Press correspondent that the U.S.S.K. "cannot be beaten and may, with American and Hrl- tlsh c(|ui|)iiH'iit, turn the tide and smash (icrmuny. "Loss of Leningrad, Kiev, and Odessa wouldn't affect the Uus- siiin war effort thnt is if they lose those cities while it seems tinlikcly that the Germans ever will roach Moscow." DO YOUR EARS RING?

More And More Effort From All The Dally Express of Lon- don, England, Shows Why British People Must Work Harder Than Ever Hitler has not called on Japan yet. He has merely asked her to get Into position against both Sing- apore and the Russians. She uai done to. She has reported that her oil tanks are brimful, and if Hitler gets more oil himself he means to fight as surely as God made little Islands. Neither has Hitler yet called on his conquered lands for full war production. How long do you think it would take the factories of Germany and all Eur- ope to replace the material he has lost in Russia and give him better material, too? Sabotage, Victory "V's", and H. A. F. bombs notwith- standing? Hitler la nearer disaster, but he U also nearer world con- quest now than he has ever been. There stand against him the sol- diers of Russia and the Britten soldiers of the Middle East. A de- cisive battle of the world has open- ed. And still some British people wonder why they are urged to get into the war factories and the mines and work and work as they IIUVB never worked before. Your weapon* will be needed, every one of them if Hitler reaches oil. Keep Blood Type For Emergencies Learning Blood Group of Family Members Advised James R. Potter, managing sec- ,.fi of the Ottawa Blood Donor Service, has suggested that every 1. -i.i !;.Mhy should keep record of the blood group of each of Its members so there might be _ no del;iy In case of emergency. "If we are interested In air raid* precautions work we should at least know the blood group of every member of our family so every emergency can be met and many lives saved," he said. Mr. Potter said S.iiOO Ottawa citi- zens had offered their blood. 'But w need double that num- ber," he said, "for a request ha* been made by the government to double the supply of blood serum for overseas." Canadian serum now was bring used for civilians in England aa well as members of the forces, and a store was being kept in all parti of Canada 500 plnU In Ottawa alone primarily for use of mili- tary authorities. He expected the supply would be placed at dispos- al of civilians if necessary. There was a supply in every military centre and on every convoy at sea.

Two little toddlers couldn't re- sist the temptation to explore the newly built air-raid shelter. Jut M they disappeared inside a po- liceman came along. "Who's inside there?" he asked sternly. For a few moments there wa a tense silence. Then, where he repeated hia question, there came a reply in a shrill, nervoua voice: "Hardly anybody, mister." For hi* gallantry a ScottUh aoldier was given a decora- tion. A week or so Utei a pal asked him: "And what does th* wife think of your medal, Sandy?" "Sh doema ken yet," was the reply. "It's no* my turn to write." "These doughnuts," said the young married man, "are not like) my mother used to make." "I know it," replied the recent bride sweetly. "Your mother called up just the other day and asked for my recipe." "Jimmie," said the t.ach- r, "What is your greatest ambition?" Jimmia considered thought- fully. "I think," h. said, "it k to wash mother's ears." The new buildings of Trinity College at Toronto have been formally opened and are now occupied by this year's student*.
