DESTROYER DESTROYED Britain chalkj up another victory in the Mediterranean in the picturesque sinking of the Italian destroyer Artiglier. Torpedo from the British cruiser York hits the Italian vessel just short of amid- ships. Moments later, great geyser of smoke envelops ship, and shoots skyward, indicating explosion of powder magazine. What Science Is Doing TREE-PLANTING MACHINE After three years a machine that will plant about 8,000 trees or shrubs a day has been devel- oped for use on the shelter belts of the Prairie States Forestry Project. The planting machine is mount- ed on an implement called a "miicarrier" to which are com- monly attached plows, disks, till- age tools and similar farm equip- ftieat. The machine planter can be moved from^farm, to farm on ita own wheels. An ordinary tractor delivering from 15 to 20 drawbar horsepower handles it without dif- ficulty. A planting crew consist* of two men on the machine and a tractor driver. The two planter* riding the machine alternate in placing trees in the trench and holding them in position until the double wheels directly behind the Wades pack the soil around the tree roots. A clicker signals when a tree is to be placed. The machine resembles a vege- table-plant setter, but differs from tt in that no water is used to sluice the trees into place. A crew of three and a helper an plant an average of about a mile of ten-row shelter-belt tree* la an eight-hour day about 8,- 000 trees and shrubs of several different species. A twelve-man crew using hand tools can plant only 6,000 trees and shrubs per day in soil prepared by the trench- digging unicarrier alone. HOG CHOLERA Over 100,000 pigs have been successfully immunized with a new hog-cholera vaccine develop- sd by Professor William T. Boyn- ton of the University of Califor- nia, after nearly a quarter of a century of research. The stand- ard serum-virus treatment wa* sometimes followed by fatal en- teritis, pneumonia ana infection by vermin. The new vaccine Ls free from these drawbacks. More- over, there is no danger of spread- Ing the disease because the vac- cine is made not from the blood of once-infected animals but from glandular tissue ground up. with udalyptol. A single inoculation I* enough. "Tail-End Charlies' Churchill Discloses Good R.A.F. News Minister Churchill's dis- closure recently waa the first of- ficial statement that the Hoyal Air Force now has attained equal- ity "in sizo and number''' with the German air force. The Press Association air cor- respondent said the Prime Min- ister "apparently was speaking not only of actual strength In frontline aircraft, but also of capacity to maintain equality in production of aircraft." With the Commonwealth Air Training Plan in full swing, the correspondent said it was con- sidered Britain "is able to keep pace it the supply of pilots with ftp ever-inorcasine pnvhieton of machines." Here's a word for young Can- adians who, to borrow a phras* from Air Minister Power, have clear grit, nerves of steel and a clear eye: Your chance in the air is coming, the chance to be a "Tail-End Charlie." He told the Commons recently he believed certain Canadian- made aircraft could be modified and substituted for types difficult to obtain from Britain *o Can- ada could train a type of pupil "to which we are not at all com- mitted" under' the British Com- monwealth Air Training Plan. "I refer to pupils such a* the straight air gunners Tail-End Charlies, they call them," said Maj. Power. "They sit at the tall end of the bombing machines with all heaven above and all hell below. They require clear grit; they must have nerves of steel and a clear eye." Says Battle Is Won In Mediterranean Cats are baiag stolen la Snaag- hal for their fur. How Con I? BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can 1 clean furs? A. Clean the furs by first brushing the wrong way; then sift over the fur some hot corn- meal or bran. Rub this into the fur and allow to stand before brushing it out. Take the fur outdoors and brush (with the nap) with a stiff whiskbroom, after which saturate a clean cloth with gasoline and rub the fur well, using a whiskbroom to re- store the nap; then hang in the sun to dry. Rub with the nap when cleaning, and never use water on furs, as it shrinks the bide. Q. How can 1 get the ti- bucks of window ilrupcries even? A. When placing the tie-backs you can get them nearer even by lowoL-iiijj the shads to th proper level and using it as a marker. Q. How can I stop hiccoughsT A. Moisten some granulated sugar with vinegar and eat it when suffering from hiccoughs. It usually proves an effective rem- edy. Q. How can I clean stesl knives? A. Powdered bath brick ap- plied with a large, cork dipped la water and then in the powder is the best abrasive. Lay the knife flat on the drainboard, or some other solid surface, when scour- ing. For obstinate stains, rub with a cut potato dipped in scour- ing powder. Gengm Sikorski, Poland's pre- | mier and commander-in-chisf, went to Malta recently to decor- ate ths crew of a Polish naval unit and Mid: "Britain has woa the battle of the Mediterranean.* "I have seen for myself Bri- tain's domination of these waters is complete while her superiority in th air is beginning to be- come obvious," he said, adding that "Malta today is an Impreg- nable fortress."

He circled around and his pursuer dodged after him. H* crawled under a hedge. Still the man was after him. At last he turned and faced the fellow. "What do you want?

Each One Of Them Attacked Germany Hitler's charge that "the Unit- ed States has attacked Germany" recalls some other famous accus- ations from the same source. As- cording to the Hitler version of things "Austria attacked Germany" : Its last Chancellor, Schuschnigf, was preparing to hold a plebi- scite among his own people, and that was a threat to the German Refeh. "Czechoslovakia attacked Ger- many": It had some territory that Germany wanted, and so tt wej guilty of aggression. "Poland attacked Germany": It would not dismember itself, so Hitter was forced to dismember it "Denmark, Holland and Bel- gium all attacked Germany" : They were guilty of lying In Its line of march. In our own case, according to the Hitler version, the attack was begun when the unarmed steam- ship Robin Moor practically threw Itself upon a Nazi torpedo. Germany never attacks. It is Hitler's theory that the bigger the Ue the better its reception. New York Times. TK* ntw Improved Buckliy FomiiU to ill no tyrap Mfh d coldi )iv you or* fo VOID OMy.

Charles de Gaulle, Fres French leader, said recently "fig-antic effort" was necessary to produce "astronomical" quan- tities of tanks and airplanes for men who "some day will have to go into action in Europe, Asia and Africa." He spoke at a Foregn Press Association luncheon. Perhaps, he said, it will be ths action of 100,000 tanks, combin- ed wlt.i that of 100,000 planes and supplied by 50,000,000 tons of shipping, "which will cause the enemy's mechanized system to crumble and witf. it, the whole edifice of German tyranny." He said it seemed to be in keeping with the logic of events that Germany should soon seek "the respite she needs" but as- serted it "is quite certain in ad- vance" that any German solicita- tions never would be accepted. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. Is it all right to apply pow- der and lip stick in a street car or bus? Z. In what way can a business man dispose of a tiresome caller T 3. If a husband and wife are traveling by car, is it all right for the wife to go into the hotel to make room arrangements while the husband waits in the car? 4. Is It proper to honk the horn when calling for a guest whom you are taking for an auto- mobile drive? 5. * Is it proper for a bride who is being married in a traveling costume to have bridesmaids? 6. If a woman is a house guest and her hostes* has no servant*, should she help with the house- work? Anwn 1. Avoid doing this, especially the lip stick. If absolutely necea- sary to remove shin* from the nose, do so as inconspicuously as possible. 2. If rising Is not ef- fective, the business man Is justi- fied in frankly telling the caller that he is very busy. 3. No; the man should take care of all the necessary arrangements. 4. This is an extremely discourteous act. The correct thing is to ring the doorbell. 5. She usually has only a maid or matron of honor. 6. Yes. or at least, offer to help her hostess.

Found Its Motto Story of The Most Famoue Motto of To-dty'e WoHd Told By Winnipeg Free Pros* How did the Air Fores get its motto? One would expect, from the importance of the service to- day, the courts of heraldry made the fateful choice and Privy Coun- cil ratified it la the London Times IMC month there appeared a letter from a clergyman, Rtv. John T. Watson, asking how the motto came to be chosen. A correspon- dence has followed which is as- tonishing in this that the motto was chosen in a most haphazard way. Frederick H. Sykes writes that when he was raising' the mili- tary wing of the flying' corps In 1912, one of the difficulties was that all his officers and men were in different uniforms or in iv- lian dress. At his suggestion a distinctive uniform waa author- ized. A badge was now needed and Sykes and Brigadier General David Henderson, of the War Of- fice, together sketched one upon a War Office blotting pad. The badge so sketched is the badge the Air Force wears today. A motto was needed to com- plete the badge, and Sykes asked his officers to make suggestions. A young officer by name of J. N. Fletcher proposed "Per Ardua ad Astra." Fletcher had got the Idea from a friend named J. S. Yule, an officer in the Royal Engineer*, and now in the War Office. Thi suggestion seemed good and was referred to the War Office. It was criticized by one) of the higher-ups as being "bad Latin," but was approved. Other letters indicate that sev- eral schoolmaster* were consulted and, in particular, F. H. Rawlin*. **< im, Lower Master of Eton. They probably had the Sykes suggestion referred to them. Thus was selected the phras* which has becom* the most fa- mous motto in the world. British Sound Cure For Shell Shocked Vivid Picture Presented of What War Is Like In Eng- land The "crash-conditioning" of Bri- tain'* shell-shocked Blitzkrieg vto- Urns by subjecting them to ad- ditional noise was described to members of the Southern Medical Association, In St. Louis, Mo. The idea of blasting the ears ot parsons who are already psycho- pathic and confined to hospital* was said to have been effective, but it did not work on a group of persona who heard for the first time the whine of dive bomber*. the shriek and blast ot Ju'.llng bombs. The sound picture of wnat war 1m England Id like made woman faint and men shudder or get up and de- part. The sounds were transcribed oa records by the British Broadcast- In* Corporation using microphone*" placed in open fields, homes and bomb shelters near Dover and Lo*- don during the Battle of Brftata laat August These records ha'* been used I* the) newest experiment of toe war OB men, women and children, woe were frighteiied even by a door squeak, In a process described "d*> eondluoning" persons to bom*) raid noise*. At first they 'would run cream- log from toe rooms, holding their ears and tearing at anything to the,: way. But within two week* ot treatment, In which the bom- bardments were repeated with coo- stant warnings that "these are to* one* which won't hurt you." the ear v Ivors of actual sir raids took it as calmly as the passenger* roaring along on a New York sub- way. Frequently small children oare> bean so de-condltloned by the re> ords that they keep on playlnf with tlielr toys under actual bom- bardment conditions, according te> official* of the British Library ot Information who presented the rec- ords hsre. ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS. 1IA1IY CUU'H.4 t>OUL.TRYKEEl'ERa JJK I'RE- pared.
