What Science Is Doing WEATHER 'SIGNS' Quito a good many of the old- fashioned "signs" have good scien- tific warrant, even though others lack solid foundations, says Sci- ence Service. Back of the old jingle, "Red in the night, sailors' delight; red in the morning, sailors take warn- ing," is the truth that bright sun- sets usually come during periods of settled weather, while a red- dened sun (at any time of day) indicates the presence of moisture- laden particles in the air, that may later precipitate rain or snow. Even at sunset, a bleary, reddened an (as distinguished from red- tinted clouds) may warn of a itonn to come. A rising column of smoke from a chimney is another fairly re- liable "sign" of fair or clearing weather. It means that the air is dry, whereas smoke that goes up and then comes down again shows that the air is heavy with moisture which the smoke par- ticles gather unto themselves until they are so heavy that they sink. A ring around the moon, or to be academically precise, a halo, is another fairly dependable wea- ther "sign." So is a fuzzy or blurry appearance of moon or stars. These appearunces arc due to the interception of light by thin clouds running ahead of an approaching general storm area. There is, however, no truth whatever in the belief that the crescent moon "holds" rain if its horns are pointed upward, "pours' rain if they point downward. Those phenomena are purely as- tronomical, and have nothing to do with conditions on earth. The same holds true for the position of the "bowl" of the "Creat Dip- j per" as seen early in the evening, j Convert Sea Water Into Drinking Water The most fascinating piece of equipment to be installed in three new trans-Atlantic flying boats being built for American Export Airlines is a still for converting sea water into drinking water, says Business Wools. These stills are to be standard equipment in the planes' collapsible lifeboats. The still operates on solidified fuel in cans, each one of which will burn for two hours, time enough to distill a quart of water. The condenser is a flexible tube which is thrown overboard so that sea walcr cools the steam and thus converts it into drinking water. The fuel can be used for cooking, too, and the water container be- comes a pressure cooKer. To be able to carry the ingenious de- | vice, American Export Airlines I had to take out a regular New York State distiller's licence. Evidently Got 'Em! The New York Times says that priati; advices received from con- tinental Europe recounted a quip that is truing the rounds as a com- mentary on the German with- drawal in Russia. According to this "gag," Goer- ing ?ave Marshal Petain, French chief of state, 24 hours to hand over the plans of retreat used by Napoleon.

He answered correctly questions as to the name of the President and the capital of the United States. Then came this: "Could you become president of the United States?" "No," was the reply. "Why not?" persisted the offi- cial. "You pleasa excuse," begged the Italian. "I very busy right now sella de peanuts."

"You've got to tort of take it away from her." The irate parent stormed up and down the room before the nervous-looking young man. "What!" he shouted. "You have the nerve to come to my office to ask for my daughter's band? I might as well tell you that you could have saved your- self the journey." The suitor sighed wearily. "Well, that's all right," he aid. "You see, I had another message to deliver in the same building." "What a debtor?" "A man who owe* money.'' "And what i* a creditor?" "A man who think* he'* going to get it back." Jones had gone to the cinema, but the inane chatter of two women seated immediately in front of him at last became more than he could stand. He tapped one of the women on the shoulder and said: "Pardon me, madam, but I can't hear." The woman snorted. "You'ru not supposed to this is a private conversation," she snapped.

U.S. War Council Is Formed An eight-man combined cbiafs- of-staff board has been establish- ed in the United Nations war capi- tal at Washington to direct all British-American joint action by land, sea and air and on factory assembly lines. In its announcement of the move the war department said the new iji.ii. ii "amounts to a com- bined command post for the con- duct of all joint operations of the two governments in the war." Besides directing military op- erations it will have jurisdiction over production and distribution of war supplies. It will work in collaboration with representatives of the other United Nations. On broad strategical questions it will make joint recommenda- tions to <.Lc heads of the Axneri- can and British government*. It is empowered to act without de- lay on immediate matters relating to current operations. Formation of a new munition* assignment board was also an- nounced. Headed by Harry Hop- kins, it will decide where weapons will be most useful to carry oat United Nations strategy. Othar members are land, air and Ma officers of the two government*. Tiny Six-year-old Norwegian Patriot Today, as Norwegians believe they see the day of regained free- dom and independence drawing nearer, many of them, whose sta- tus may have appeared at time* to be doubtful, welcome and, in fact, seek arrest by the Ger- mans. Such arrest, it is believed, will be rather certain evidence that one has been on the "right" side when the time for settling accounts arrives. But the little boy in Bergen was hardly moti- vated by any such thought. Children of the city had been ordered to attend a Hitler youth exhibition. Instead of going in they marched past the door sing- ing the national anthem and shouting "Long Live the King!" All were arrested except a tiny six-year-old who had been over- looked. The little chap darted up to a policeman and shouted: "Long Live the Ki.ig!" I want to be Treated, too!"

Keep the brown sugar in an open jar or canister in the re- frigerator, and it will become and remain soft and free from lumps. Q. How can I keep my hand* smooth and white? A. Use regularly a solution consisting of equal parts of gly- cerin and lemon juice, well mixed; a few drops of alcohol and a little rosewater can be added for a slight perfume. Q. How can I make use of left-over egg yolks? A. Very often the housewife finds that she has egg yolks loft for which there is no immediate use. By boiling them hard, the yolks will keep, and they can be grated over a salad, creamed sal- mon, or baked flah. Q. How can I prevent that eloudy look in glasses that have contained milk? A. Rinse glasses that have been us<i for milk In old water before washing in hot watar. Heat dries the milk into the glass, giving it a cloudy appearance. Q. How should chamois glove*) be washed? A.

"The Fifth Column And Hitler's Tricks" Fifth columnists are potentially more menacing than airplanes and tank*., said Robert Coffin, noted Belgian lawyer and writer, when addressing members of L'Allianc* Francaise at the Chateau Laurier not long ago. Speaking on the topic, "Th Fifth Column and Hitler's Tricks," Mr. Coffin, who fled from Bel- gium just before its capitulation, told his audience of some of the dramatic events which led to the fall of his native country. H* related how fifth columnists had established secret ramification! in his country and had been transmitting secret information to toe enemy long before Germany decided to invade Belgium. Tha Germans were in possession of plans of the main fortification line and of every airport to such an extent that resistance to in- vaaion could not hold out any length of time.
