Japanese Volcano Erupts Violently Aaina-Yama, the largest active volcano in Japan, about 100 miles orthwMt of Tokio, erupted with gnat violence not long ago, do- ing unestimated damage, secord- mg * the Berlin radio. The broadcast, quoting dis- p*tche from. Japan, said the erup- tion was the worst in many years ;and the German-controlled Brus- .aela radio characterized it as "a ' catastrophe." A thick rain ol ' ahee blanketed the countryside for miles around, the Bru.=seli i vraion added. I Aaama-Yama, regarded as th most treacherous volcano in Ja- pan, has a long history of erup- tion*, the worst of which occurred in 1783, lasting 88 days and kill- ing thousands. Following this outburst the vol- no was comparatively quiet un- til 1908, when it awoke to re- newed violence. Parties of sight- ae*r were killed by sudden erup- fatoiu in 1911 and 1912. Since then its activity has been nuuiifetted largely in occasional mower* of stones and ashes. The mountain is 8,280 feet high and ha a crater three-quarters ot a mile in diameter. The most vio- lent volcanic outbursts, sometimes $elt In Tokio and Yokohama, occur to May and December. HOW CAN I? Q. How can I stiffen icattev A.

Hitler Makes Visit To Napoleon's Tomb A description of how the Nazia, from Fuehrer Adolph Hitler down to the common soldier, react to their first contact with Paris has been brought back by an Ameri- can woman who escaped from oc- cupied France. German soldiers, officers and cabinet ministers are now making themselves at home in hundreds of placet which were familiar to Americans before 1939. Hitler, for instance, she reports, made his first visit to the historic sites of Paris between 3 and 7 a.m. so that his whereabouts would not be known to the public. His visit to the Opera House at 4 o'clock one morning almost frightened the watchman out of his wits. Hitler insisted on in- specting every corner of the his- toric building, from the marble foyers to the dressing rooms back stage. Then he gave an order to have the edifice scrubbed from top to bottom, and issued a state- ment that it was the finet build- ing in Europe. "Both acts offended the French." the woman said. "They liked the 'patine' of age-old dirt, and beau- ty loving Parisians had always apologized for the Opera House as a baroque monostrosity. "Hitler's next calls we it at the Invalides and the tomb of Napo- leon, his patron saint. He has had the tomb raised from the crypt to the ground floor, it is said, and every German soldier is required by military order to visit it. Lines of these troops, 'les tourLstes', as the French cali them, can be seen daily lining up for blocks to carry out these orders with proper awe- struck admiration." Jap Planes Drop Prisoners' Letters Japanese planes, flying high over Port Moresby, New Guinea, dropped a packet of four hundred letters from Australian prisoners in enemy-held territory, the Mel- bourne radio reported in a broad- cast heard by CBS. The letters were dropped April 28, the broadcast said, and since have been forwarded to their ad- dresses by Australian Army au- thorities.

Tbere w story going around of a big tough citizen who belllc- eremlr walked into a store and demanded a new truck tire. For a gag, he was sent to a trucking; concern where he repeated hl request. "Sure," he was told, "we'll sell you a new tire." So he was hand- ed one and told the price would be 110.030. "What:" yelled the belligerent buyer. "Why, of course," the seller ex- plained. "That's $30 for the tire and $10,000 to pay the Federal fine' She: "Darling, it's just a yeai today since our honeymoon, when we spent that wonderful day on the sands." He: ''We never thought then that we'd be spending our first anniversary on the rocks." An oral examination was iiv pro(?res.<.

At a club gathering held in Concord. New Hampshire, one couple proved to be champion contestants. The wife won the rolling pin contest. Her husband was fleetest in the 30-yard dash for men. Creeping downstairs in his bare feet, the householder surprised an intruder packing the family sil- ver into a basr. "By Jove, a real burglar? I say. wait a minute, will you?" ''An' you'll call a cop! 1 ' snarled the burgler. "I don't think." "Oh, no; only while I call my wife. She's heard you every night for 20 years, and I'm sure it will be a real pleasure to her to meet you at last." Bill '! hear they have taken the early morning train off your route.

A Sub-Contracting In War Factories Skill and Accuracy N<o* wry In "Bltand-P!eoM" Program An interesting example of the success of sub-contracting in wai work, known to the Department of Munitions and Supply as the "bits-and-pieces" program, is that of an Orillia, Ontario firm. Form- erly known for its marine en- gines, this company has taken on other lines until now engines, though still important, are only a part of the plant's output. Despite the cry for quantity production of war weapons, meticulous measurement is the rule. As an example, a steel at- tachment for a gun turned out on this firm's lathes has to be accurate within l-10,000th of an Inch. No larger a margin of er- ror M possible, for even a hand laid on this particular steel bar for three or four minutes would cause sufficient expansion to In- crease its size. In taking on more of thi Gov- eminent precision -work, the Oril- lia firm asked to be supplied with a set of gauges, in order that the extra checking might be done at the benches before the official in- spectors' visits. He was informed that only one set of gauges used by the Government inspector was available in Canada. So the com- pany received permission to fabri- cate a set. Now it has it* own gauges that will measure down to 1-20, 000th of an inch. As rejected parts, in addition to the loss of time and effort in their making, become nothing more than scrap, the importance of the closest possible precision is readily seen. In this Ontario fac- tory, the return of defective parts has become almost a curiosity ana an event. From a recent shipment of more than 6,000 pieces to a Government plant, for instance, not one piece was rejected. This company is now busy on contracts coveriiii; approximately fifty different ''bits and pieces" essential to munitions output. They include various parts' for naval and field guns, as well as machinery and inspection fu- tures. One of the principal products at present is ar. armour-piercing shot. In manufacturing this small projectile, only a few inches lonp. a dozen operations are involved, demanding accuracy in weight to within three drams and in dia- meter to within a minute fraction of an inch. The Orillia factory is producing hundreds of shots a day, and every one must be weigh- ed and measured before cuing on to the Government plant for further testinjr. A particularly interesting ir.a- chine in use at the factory calcu- lates the hardness of steel. This is don,, by a diamond to which a pressure of 130 kilograms is ap- plied, and a gaujre indicates the penetration into the small block of steel. This penetration is so slight it is virtually invisible to the naked eye. An indicator shows just what pressures are re- quired to cut this particular steel. GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO What Science Is Doing RADIUM AND BOMBS The Memorial Hospital of New York, one of the largest inatitu- tions in the world devoted to the> treatment of cancer, has decided not to bury its nine grama of radium in case of air raids, despite British practice. Five grama will be kept in a safe resting on bad- rock in the sub-basement, and sur- rounded with concrete two feet thick. Four grams are in a 600- pound lead container known aa a "pack." which is also well pro- tected. FERTILIZER Lightning is useful as well as frightening, Pathfinder quotes scientists as saying. It has been estimated that the some two bil- lion lightning- strokes annually re- lease 200,000.000 tons of nitro- gen from the air in the form of nitric acid, to help fertilize the earth. SHRIMPS Of the half a million eggs laid by a single shrimp in her life- time, an average of only two sur- vive, yet that is sufficient to sup- port an industry with a $15,000,- 000 annual take, according to Lealon E. Martin Jr. in "Natural History." LINOLEUM A young English inventor, Frederick Walton, got the idea for linoleum when he left a pot of paint uncovered, and the aur- face hardened into a rubbery film.

Modern Etiquette 1. How do guests at a house or week-end party ascertain when they are expected to arise in the morning? Z. When one receives a formal invitation, and is very busy, wouldn t it be all right to phone the hostess one's acceptance? 3. Isn't it all right to talk to one's companion while a motion picture is in progress? 4. What should be the keynote of a wedding ceremony that is be- ing performed soon after a death in the family of one of the prin- cipals? 5. May one ever leave the spoon standing in the coffee cup? 6. How should the visiting card of a doctor and his wife read? Anwri 1. It is up to the hostess to let them know when to arise and when breakfast and the other meals are to be served. The tact- ful guest usually can acquaint himself very easily with the gen- eral routine of the house. 2. Never. A formal invitation re- quires an answer on note paper, acceptance or regrets written in the third person. 3. No. It ia extremely rude and ill-bred to do so. as it is sure to disturb other persons nearby who are listening to the play. 4. Simplicity; and only a few near relatives and in- timate friends should attend. There should be nothing elabor- ate in the flowers, decorations, or the procession. 5. No; the spoon should be placed in the saucer. 6. Eh-, and Mrs. Stanley R. Young.
