* a .1 \ >> v a War Ministers Inspect New Railway Munitions Plant A BIG WAR PLANT, the existence of which had been unknown! to the general public, was given national recognition when three 1 members of the Federal Cabinet officially inspected the National! Railways Munitions shops at Montreal, operated by the Canadian! National Railways. The Ministers were Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister ofl Munitions and Supplies; Hon. Angus Macdonald, Minister of Naval I Services; and Hon. \V. P. Mulock, Postmaster General They were! welcomed to the plant by R. C. Vaughan, President of the Canadian! National Railways.

Right Mr. | Macdonald examines the breech of one of the finished guns. Have You Heard? Puffing and blowing, the young man just managed to jump into a carriage as the train left the sta- tion. The middle-aged man in th orner eyed him with scorn. "When I was your age, my lad,"' ha said, "I could run half mile, catch a train by the skin of my teeth, and yet be as fresh as a daisy." "Yes," gasped the young fel- low, "but I missed this one at the last station." He was telling her hi* fa- mily hUtory. "My grandfather wa a poor, hard-working clockmaker. When ha died he left hi* estate which con- futed of two hundred clock*, to my father." "How ill t'jrrstillg," lid aid. "It must have been real fun winding up hi* ettate." A teacher sent this note to the" mother of an unruly pupil: "Dear Mrs. Jones, I regret very much to inform you that your son, Robert, idles away his time, It disobedient, quarrelsome, and disturbs other students who are trying to work. He needs a good thrashing and I strongly urge that you give him one." This was the reply she received: "Dear Miss Smith Lick him yourself. I ain't mad at him. They were having their fir*t quarrel. "I'm disappointed" laid the husband. "When we> were first married I thought you were an angel." "Yes," retorted hi* wife. "I suppose that's why you never bought me any clotnes." "Didn't you hear the siren?" asked the A.R.P. warden advising an old countryman to take cover. With enemy planes droning over- head, the man was still strolling about the streets, "Yes, I heard 'un," said the old man, "but that hain't nothing to do with me. I lives at," giv- ing the name of his village, five miles away. Brown: "My wife went to ee the doctor last week, and he told her to take plenty of xercite." Smith: "And i* the doing It?" Brown: "Well, if jumping at conclusion* and running up bills can be called exer- cise, *h is." The class was studying magne- tism. "Robert," asked the master, "how many natural magnets are there?" "Two, sir," was the . surprising answer. "And will you please name them*?" "Blondes and brunettes." Grass collected from the road- aide provided a Kent, Englan-d, butcher with five tons of winter food for his stock.

Is it proper to guess at a name if one has not heard it dis- tinctly d urine an introduction? 2. What does an invalid do If she wishes to return calls that have been made upon her? 3. Should cantaloupe bs eaten with a spoon? 4. Is it proper for a man to sandwich himself between two women when walking- with them on the street? 5. Is it good form to leave some food on the plate wkea finishing a meal? 6. Are postscripts to letters U good taste? z ANSWERS 1. No; it is much better to ask and be correct, rather than to guess and have to be corrected. The proper thing to say would be : "I'm very gorry, but I did not hear your name correctly," or "Did Mr. Johnson call you Miss Ferris? I'm sorry, but I did not hear very well." 2. She may make her calls i>/ proxy. In other words she may send a daughter or close friend in her place. This, of course, Is not expected of her, but it is a nice geature on har part. 3. No; the fork should be used. 4. No. The man always takes the curb aide of the pavement; whether h is walking with one woman or with several. 5. No, it is not at all necessary. 6. No. These should be avoid- ed as much as possible, as they are merely afterthoughts and in- dicate a slipshod manner in the composition of your letters. One should take pains to include ev- erything he wishes to say in the body of the letter. HOW CAN I? Nazi Subs Carry Two Bomber Planes , Rudolph Hasbrook, a member of the London auxiliary fire force, says the Germans now have sub- marines equipped with two bomb- ing planes each which would make possible air raids as far inland as Chicago. Addressing civilian defence leaders in Chi- cago, Hasbrook said the Naiis could bring the subs to the sur- face at night, assemble their bombers, fly out to bomb their objectives and return to their submarine bases. The bomber* are stored in the submarine's hold he said.

Rub with a cloth dipp-d in turpentine, using a regular motion. Then dry with another clean cloth. Q. How can I prevent a rug from slipping? A.

How can I bleach clothe* when laundering thorn? A. Add a teaspoon of turpen- tine to the water when washing white clothes. It aids materially the bleaching process. Q.

Railroads Seen As Great War Machines That Canada was marked by destiny to become the connecting link between the two great Anglo- Saxon democracies, the United States and the- British Common- wealth of Nations, was the key- note of an addreas delivered by Major F. L. C. Bond, D.S.O., president of the American Rail- way Engineering Association, at til* 43rd annual meeting of the aMociation, which opened In Chi- cago last week. In his addre** to the airactors, Major Bond, who is vice-president and general manager, Central Region, Canadian National Rail- ways, pointed out that the rail- roads are the greatest war ma- Picoba IT DOa TASTE GOOD IN A PIPE! GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO chine on the continent and the originating end of the vital line* of communication which reach around the world in both direc- tions from North America. Major Bond said that the or- ganization served "as a reservoir from which to draw qualified per- sonnel for advisory technical committees to perform some spe- cial service on short notice." He stated that recently one commit- tee had been formed to consider a temporary revision of specifica- tions for track material, at the instance of the War Production Board. Another committee is en- gaged on an emergency study of ways and means to reduce rubber consumption A third was aaked to arrive at a prompt conclusion as to the effect upon the restric- tions of soda ash in the treatment of water for use in locomotive boilers, as all these materiala, steel, rubber and soda ash, must be conserved for war purpose*. "These are a few illustration! of what must be expected In con- stantly increasing me*ure," Major Bond concluded. Birds On Wing Built For Speed Ground for "Tall Tales" Say a Alice Boyd in Our Dumb Animals Hunters teU "tall tales' about the speed at the duck that got away, and there la ground tor their stories. Canrasbacks and teal are known to fly at 10 to H mile* an hour. A pheasant's best speed has been ascertained te be 40 miles an hour, while a partridge travels about X miles an hour. Birds of prey, such as eagles sad hawks, have great flying speed, but not for sustained flights over long distances. They are able e> sweep down upon their rtotlma with sudden bursts of speed, which In the case of the duck hawk, ome of the world's fastest birds, baa been timed at 160 and ISO miles an hour. The eagle has been estimat- ed as swooping at the rato of ;-!* miles, though it does not fly straightaway at that speed. As a result of the muiiy races held among liomiug pigeons, it has been proved that their bosl speed is not mare than a uiiU a minute. Pigeons can r!s almost vertically and attain their maximum speed quickly. The humming bird hus real pick- up. High speed cameras have shown that It flies from a standing start at 45 miles au hour, which means that Its wings vibrate at the rate of 55-75 beats a second. Perhaps the fastest fliers of ail the birds are, as their uuint vug- gecta, the swifts. So streamlined are those birds that even their nostrils point backward. An Asiatic species has been estimated to fly at the rate of posibly 220 miles an hour. Birds are built tor speed and their breast muscles are 100 times more powerful, relatively, thaa those of a man.
