\ SPEED COUNTS IN MODERN WARFARE la addition to her seasoned units overseas, Canada is today training a modem, bard-hitting and speedy Army in camp* throughout Canada. Here mobile unit* of an infantry regiment, motorcycle and universal carrier, speed up tne brow of a hill during training manoeuvres at Camp Borden. HOW CAN I? Q. How can I smooth irons that have become rusty? A. Irons that have become rusty, sticky or rough can be smoothed to a glass-like finish by rubbing with salt and a piece of crinkled-up paper. Q. How can I make paint ad- lure to tinware? A. Rub the surface thoroughly with a piece of rough pumice stone or coarse sandpaper. Then apply a thin coat of shellac var- nish, after which the surface may be painted very nicely. --^ Q. How can I repair casters that persist in dropping out of ohair and ^able legs whenever the furniture is moved? A. Remove the caster, fill the hole with melted paraffin, and then quickly re-insert the caster. There will be no further trouble. Q. How can I make smelling salts? A. By breaking one ounce of rock volatile into small pieces, then covering it with eau de cologne, and allowing to stand for a few days before using. Q. How can I make the washing of curtains easier? A. It is unwise to attempt to wash the curtains as soon as they have been taken down. Place them in cold water to which a generous handful of borax has been added and let them remain soaking overnight. This will loosen the dirt and the washing will be much easier. Have You Heard? A piece of paper covered with mystic figures and sisrns had been discovered on the floor of the aircraft factory. It had been seen to fall from the handbag of a girl worker who had received it from a strange woman at the works entrance. Experts had been called in to decipher the apparent code, but all failed. Finally the manager took it home to study it further. His wife supplied the solution. "Why, John.' she exclaimed with animation, "wherever did you get this from? It's a knitting system for a perfectly darling sweater!" Macpherson took hit gramophone back to the shop. Said the assistant: "It is mott unusual to have a ma- chine returned after a year'* use. What's wrong with it? "TKe needle'* broken," ex- plained Macpherson. Nurse had occasion to visit Johnny's mother. When she left, Johnny was the not very proud brother of twins. This did not please him at all, he felt his nose was put out of joint. Some time later, Johnny's par- nts moved to a neighboring vil- lage, and in her visits. Nurse came across Johnny at one of the schools. "Hello, young man," she said, "have you come to live here'.'" "Yes," said Johnny, "but I'm not showing you which ii our kouse this time." "I don't like those eg you tent me yesterday." "Why what was wrong with them?" "Well, 1 thought they were rather undersized for Jheir te." What, fkih again?" growled Peck. "We're alwavs having fwh." "Well, John." said his wife, "it's good for you. It feeds the brain." li rloshr Why should you think ay brain needs so much feeding ?" "Well, didn't your mother give you fish before you were nmr- tfed?" "No," he hissed, "I wish shs had." The teacher wa* revising the month'* Scripture. "Who wa* it went into th lion's den and came out alive?" he asked. "Please, sir, the lion," said Bright Bertie. The teacher had asked her class to write a short composition on the subject, "Water". One scholar seemed to be hav- ing difficulty, but finally he turned in his paper, and here is what he wrote : "Water is a light-colored, wet liquid which turns dark when you wash in it !" The teacher had asked the class to write an essay on "Our Dog". Young Jimmy was the first to finish. Hi* effort read: "Our Dog. We haven't got one." Warns Canadians Against Spending Mr. Donald Gordon Sayi Consumer Rationing May Be Necessary "A buying spree of serious di- memions has been going on dur- ing the pa.st few months," stated Mr. Donald Gordon, Chairman of the War Time Prices and Trade Board, in a recent speech. "It is afi'ecting almost everything for current use that one could name and it is beginning to place a serious strain on some supplies. This means that drastic action will have to be taken very shortly unL.-j people decide to act rea- sonably. There is absolutely no reason for panic buying of the essentials of life. There is abso- lutely no excuse at all for any- body to get excited or to spread runiurs about ii:i.- or that coming shortage. Hut if, despite this warning, people persist, then a consumer rationing program will be Mccet-sury with all its discom- forts and waste of money. I ap- peal to every person in this coun- try to play ball. Anybody who buy? more than actual current requirements of any supply of any kind, is definitely a public enemy. I repeat, anybody who buys more than cui-rcnt needs of anything is definitely undermining the war effort of this country and playing directly into the hands of the enemy." High Standard of Living "The outstanding fact i that after two and one-half years cf war, during which our announced purpose has been the complete mobilization of our full produc- tive resources to divert everything possible to our war effort, our civilian population is still left with a high average standard of comfort a standard just about as high as it was before the war and, certainly, one of the highest in the world at the present time. In the face of that self-evident fact I simply cannot understand why any surprise should be expressed when I point out that we are not yet organized for total war. Ths plain fact is that a high standard of living and a total war effort cannot go hand in hand." "The foundation of the total effort of any country is a correot decision as to the minimum re- quirements of the civilian popu- lation," said Mr. Gordon. "Ones that id determined, production and consumption, except for war, must be steadily and progressively Scalds, Atk. lete's Peel, Chafed SkU, Tired, Sore Musclei, etc., UM this new, fast- acting, \wt sniMing remedy. Keep a tin handy far every emergency. HEALING SALVE 'Jo':: cut down to the minimum. Wast* must be eliminated; the manufao- ture of all luxuries and many com- forts must cease. The surplus of manpower and resources thus se- cured must be used to make war." Production Necessary Calling for "iron discipline and strength of purpose" by business and industry to meet the demands of total war Mr. Gordon saidt "This is not a government's war or a party war but the people's war." "My appeal is for every person responsible for any part of our productive machinery to sit down with others in the same line and work out ways and means to ob- tain maximum production, regard- less of immediate or future ad- vantage . . . "Six months from now a year from now it may be too late . . . If you really mean total war, don't keep up a parrot cry for leadership, get yourself into a position where, by sheer weight of organization and available pro- ductive capacity, you will produce, and produce, and produce." Modern Etiquette 1. la it considered improper for a young woman to asK a young man she udmires to call upon her? 2. When dining in a friend's home, should a guest take a help- ing of every dish the first tim* it is offered? 2. What would be an approp- riate costume for a woman who is going to travel quite a distance? 4. When the bride marries in a travelling dress, what does the groom wear? 5. When thanking someone for a favor or courtesy, ti it proper to say "Thanks" or "Much ob- liged"? 6. When making announce- ments at a banquet, should the master of ceremonies rise or re- main seated? SEATED 1. No, this is no longer con- sidered improper as it was at one time. The young woman of today may say, "Mr. Carson, mother and I will be at home next Wednesday evening. Would you like to stop in for a little while?" 2. It is the most gracious thing to do, even if one is not partial to some particular dish. 3. A semi-dark tailored suit, with fresh blouse, is appropriate. 4. An ordinary business suit, or one that is appropriate for travelling, with perhaps a single white flower from th bride's corsage in his buttonhole. 6. Neither, the correct phrase is "Thank you." 6. He should rise as a matter of courtesy, and so that he can be heard by all the guests. 'Relieves distress from MONTHLY* FEMALE WEAKNESS tydla K.

But more ought to be used, especially since we have learned something about the importance of vitamins and minerals in food. In the drying process, milk is sprayed as a fine mist, whirled In a warm chamber and trapped as a fine powder. There is no doubt 'that the process destroys some- vitamins. These can b added. But some vitamin G (ac- tually a "B") remains and all the calcium, which is usually lacking in tha Canadian diet. No other food can match dried akim milk in its content of calcium, protein and phosphorus. What makes powdered milk so attractive are its concentrated form and it* keeping qualities. A quart of separated milk re- duced to powder weighs about three ounces, fills three-quarters of a taac-cup and keeps months In a moisture-proof bag. Roughly, one pound of milk powder makes five quarts of re- constituted milk. A quart of milk mads from powder contains about three per cent more of the body- building elements of milk (cal- cium, protein, phosphorus) than a quart of whole milk because there is no fat. Now that the war has spread to tha Pacific, the need for pow- dered milk is more pressing than ever. In powder form, milk can be shipped across the American continent for as little as the cost of moving who!* wet milk six miles. And the dried milk re- sists bacterial attack a hundred times more effectively than liquid milk and in some cases one thou- sand times. ricobac HANDY POCKET POUCH - 15* 1A-LB.

Royal Air Force Get* Its Own FUh Sugar Off U. S. Market For Week All sugar sales in the United States will be halted at midnight, April 27, for approximately one week. John E. Hamm, acting chief of the Office of Price Administra- tion, reported that sugar would be off the market on April 28, and would not be available to buyers again until about May 5. Hamm explained that the ban was ordered as a step preparatory to sales under rationing, which will go into effect as soon as the moratorium on sales ends.

The fleet, which consists of even boats and fifty-four fihr- men, many o* whom arc inVmlidad ax-servicemen, was started by a few enterprising officers. Since its inception, it has supplied tha R.A.F. with nearly a quarter of a million fish meals, representing a catch of 121,240 pounds (six thousand kilograms) and worth more than 6,000. When the weather i* good, some of the boats trawl, but most of the fish ar*> caught by means of long lines.
