But expert* warn that while one the mushroom may be a tasty dish, the other the toadstool is the cause of stomach aches, violent illness, even death. How to tell them apart is th problem. To parsons who go mushroom hunting, Inspector W. H. Brump- ton of Windsor Police, who know* hu mushrooms, lays down on* hard and fast and safe rule: "If in doubt, throw 'em out." I .' much better not to tak a chance," says Inspector Brump- ton. "Of course mushroom* are pretty good to eat, but If yon aren't absolutely certain what It is you have picked, you'll find It safer to discard It A toadstool may taste all right, but it often hu terrible after effect*." Another rule the inspector haa is cJiis: "If they're pale and won't peel they're not mushrooms." "I judge them by the color f the underneath part*," h* say*. "If they are pink or black under- neath, then I figure they are safe." Cars From Canada Arrive In India India now is receiving motor car* and trucks from Canadian factories, Sir Sanmukham Chatty, head of an Indian purchasing mis- sion to this continent, said on hi* arrival in Montreal from New York en route to Ottawa. "We are interested in a whole range of supplies and we want to see in what respects Canada can supplement the production of American factories to which we have given orders," Sir Shan- mukham, accompannicd by a large staff, told reporters. How Con I? BY ANNE ASHLEY By Ann* Ashley Q. How can I clean unw leather gloves? A. Clean with a flannel cloth that has been soaked in milk, squeezed nearly dry, and then rubbed on a bar of soap. Q. How ran I clean gold-decor- aU-d china so as to protect the (fold? A. Wash in lukewarm water containing .soap flakes in moder- ation. Never rub soap directly on tile gold, as it will dull the gold and eventually raine it to rub off. Q. How can I test the purity of butter? A. I'ut H little of the butter in a spoon und hold over the gas flnn-.o. If it dissolves without sputtering, it is pure. However, if it contains some other sub- stance, it will sputter. Q. How can I remove colored candle tallow stains from table" linen? A. Place a blotter over nnd blotter under the stain. Prese with hot iron. Repeat this pro- i-oBS, shifting the blotter eacb time, until the Ullow disappear. Q. How can I clean a griddle that has become crusted? A. Place it over a very hot fire and cover thickly with salt. Af- ter the salt has turned brown, the crust and salt will brush off together, leaving the griddle like new. After washing the griddle, grease well and heat before put- ting away. No Invasion Now Of Western Front British Government Has N Intention of Inviting Anoth- er Dunkirk Lord Moyne- said In the House of Lords recently that it would he "madness" for Britain to attempt to open a second front In the West to aid Russia and described > "folly" any move which would de- nude England of an army to resist Invasion. Speaking for the Government after widespread demands for a lecond front, Moyne said Britain lacked tanks and artillery for an attempted invasion of the contin- ent. He said the Government, de- epite amateur strategists, soap box orators, and campaigns in th press, had no Intention of Inviting another Dunkirk. Would Suit Hitler "1 cannot imagine anything which would suit Hitler's move better than if we adopted the Chin- ese method of committing suicide on your enemy's doorstep," > aid. He made the Government's posi- tion clear after demands for an In- vasion had been made by Lord Strabolgl, who "deplored" that when the greatest opportunity of all time had presented Itself Brit- ain was unable to strike in the west, because of lack of equipment. Strabolgl claimed that Germany had only 25 second-rate division* in all of Western Europe, and that they had less than 100 tanks to support them. But Moyne persisted In the Government's refusal to aid Russia by Invading the continent In a manoeuvre designed to draw German troops out of Russia. Not Enough Equipment Moyne implied that equipment, especially tanks, now in British hands was not sufficient to make the opening of a front In the west possible. He said that a Western Front operation would severely strain British shipping and would denude Britain of an army needed to repel possible German Invasion. "It would be madness for us to Improvise an expedition of that kind", Moyne said. "You cannot land a well equipped army with- out a va.ii amount of shipping. It would be folly to denude this coun- try of an army we will need la case of Invasion. "You cannot land a force with merely rifles and bayonets to face all the artillery and tank* available ! FYance." I.O.D.E. Helps British Victims Hundreds of New Garments nd Blankets Sent to Britain During the months of June, July and August alone, approximately thirty-seven tons of new clothing and new bedding, valued at $92.- 107.33, were shipped to Great Bri- tain by the Imperial Order Daugh- ters of th Empire, according to Mrs. W.

GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO India Has Army Of 1,000,000 Men Move Into Caucasus Seen If Red Army Loses India's army of nearly 1,000,000 men, growing at the rate of 60,000 recruits a month, stands ready for a precipitate move into the Cau- casus in case of an imminent Ger- man threat to that rich oil area. After a time in India one begins to appreciate the latent power of the British Empire, slow to gather momentum but now approaching high gear. The Northwest Frontier provides natural protection with its great range of mountains, arid deserts, and high plateaus stretching chain- like from China to the Persian Gulf. That wild and Inhospitable mountain country virtually Is without roads and any hostilities In the current situation would leave the aggressor operating far from hi* own basea, whereas the Indian Army and Air Force would func- tion from their own nearby. The bases are linked by a net- work of excellent British roads and are supported by huge pools of foodstuffs and raw materials vital to a rapidly-expanding war In- dustry. The natural routes Into India from the north by way of Baln- ohistan are over fierce deserts reachable best from Iran, from Afghanistan by way of Khyber Pass, or from -tral Russia. At the summit of Khyber Pass th Landl Kotal fort forms a tough batlon. That spearhead of the Khyber defense is reached by a broad gauge railway built espec- ially to give a maximum of pro- tection from enemy air and artil- lery fire. An excellent motor road ha been blasted from the mountain sides to enaible rapid communlca- tlo- ; i the famous outpost. Men Can Enlist Much Easier Now Medical Requirements Are Lower Many Likely to Try Again U. S. V - Knits 600 Sox Mrs. Ruse Laird, proprietor of & beauty salon at 786 Fifth Ave., New York, has knitted more than 300 pairs of seaboot stoc' ! ngs for Bundles for Britain, according to .in announcement issued by that o-ganization. According to Bundles for Brltaiu, Mrs. Laird turns out two pairs of these stockings each week. They are knee-length and are used by British seamen. Easing of medical requirement* for recruits for Canada's active army will permit re-exaininatiua of men who have previously been rejected, interpretation ol oriie.e issued from Ottawa reveals. Whereas formerly there was oni/ one category of A, it has now been divided into Al and A2. Men clash- ed as A2 are eligible for atl branches of the army with the ex- ception of front linn infantry. The orders state that those ro- jected under old standards for de- fective vision, radical mastoid, or dry perforation of ear drum are encouraged to presen; themselves for re-examination. Men of either A category must be able to "see to shoot or drive, undergo severe strain and Hav only minor, non-progressive Jla- bllitleg." Applicants to make Bl category must be able to march five mile and withstand "considerable exer- tion." Recruits down to Cl category are liable fur service overseas. Those of Cl and lower can serve In Can- ada only. What's In A Name Or Three?
