FRESH FROM CANADIAN SHIPYARDS : Plowing through calm off-shore waters of the Atlantic, five Canadian-built Corvettes, fresh from shipyards, with the rivets on their plates hardly cooled, head for the high seas to be put through their paces before being declared fit for service. Scores of these trim "pocket-size" destroyers, bearing names of Canadian cities and towns from coast to coast are joined in the grim Battle of the Atlantic to maintain vital life lines of the Allied Nations. What Science Is Doing SECRET GRAMOPHONE The "synchrophon*" is one of Britain's war secrets, says The Brockville Recorder and Times. It is no secret that even the mak- ers of the gramophone records which are part of the invention Jt> not see the pictures which complete it; nor are the picture makers allowed to hear the rec- ords. The synchrophone is used for training certain service men. It if the joint work of an engineer. recording expert and a man killed in photographic layout. It is better than a film because it can be shown in daylight; and this is not the time to say more bout it. In other directions, Biitain'i gramophone record industry has been fully harnessed to the war effort. Already many training eitablishments in the RAF are making use of records either for the technical ground staff or for flying crews. The sounds of air- plane engines, for example, are reproduced by gramophone for future pilots learning "blind" fly- ing; and the sound of machine guns, of different calibres of shell and of various signals are also taught daily by gramophone. Britain's recording engineers have added much to their know- ledge in solving the technical problems with which they have been faced. The need to record with complete fidelity sounds nev- er before heard on a disc has so broadened the spectrum of sound that tones ace now being recorded three or four octaves above the highest note on a piano to a full octave below the lowest. Rec- orded sound has, in short, been pushed to the limit of the range of audibility, which will mean a more perfect recording of music when peace returns. Advised To Sleep With Window Shut A heating engineer from the University of Minnesota is the authority for this: Sleep nine months out of the year with your bedroom windows closed. You'll not only reduce your fuel costs, but you'll cut down the possibil- ities of colds, sinus infections and other disorders. And here's why one window in your bedroom, weatherstripped and with a storm window on and closed, will infil- trate enough fresh air into your bedroom ( provided your door is left ajar) to make sleeping health- ful and comfortable for four ad- ults in that room. He says a house "breathes" just as a person does and without the doors and windows being open. Men Needed For The Reserve Army Everyone Should Be In Ac- tive or Reserve Forces The Reserve Army wanui the banker, the broker, the clerk tn uniform aa well as the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, MaJ.-Gen. B. W. Browne, Director- General of the Reserve Army, mad clear not long ago. The general said every eligible citizen should be In either tha Active or the Reserve forces. That means, he said, that men of tha so-called "white collar clasa" who are moderately or well educated are needed a* buck privates a well as men who work with their hands. The reason in that the Reserve Army must do It* training in tha spare time enjoyed by Its members from their civilian occupations. The more education a man baa tha quicker h can absorb instruction. Thus it Is possible to make a rea- sonably efficient soldier out ot a man who has a fair education and k accustomed to using his mind in his work in less time than re- quired to bring a man with little education and whose mind is not accustomed to absorbing informa- tion up to the same standard. "After all, the Reserve Army may have to do some fighting with very little training," said General Browne. "The greater results we can show for the least train lug, the better." In some Reserve Army units nitiu are being divided Into clauses for training so that the slower members of the unit will not hold the others back. Thus the man who responds quickly to training will not become bored by baring to repeat the same processes over aud over again until the slowest ineu iu the unit learu their lesous. The Reserve Army recruiting program is rolling along well. IU object is to bring all Reserve Army unite up to full strength, a total of more than 150.000 meu. America Seeks Alaskan Spruce Sitka Spruce >s Needed For Airplane Factories America is turning again to her spruce forests for vital war ma- terial. A quarter century ago. wlieu the nation lust was engaged in a great war, labor battailous went into the woods of the Pacific northwest ami cut billions o( feet of spruce for iii'f in airplane construction. Today the axe is being sharp- ened aud the law set for the spruce forests of southeastern Al- aska. The government has culled upon western logging companies to harvest the vast stands of Sit- ka spruce for airplane factorifs. Spruce grows more slowly in Alaska than elsewhere anil de- velops longiT, tougher fibres that better withstand the stress ami i-traiii of an ah plane iu flight, says Charles G. Burdick, U. S. forestry otficial who has been lu the northern territory for IB j ears. The wood is light ami ideal for use in planes, he said. Training ships are being made principally of wood, freeing metal for combat ships. Burdick said the government hoped to log 15,000.000 board feet per month around Ketchik.au with lumber companies in Washington. Oregon and other western states doing the work on contract. Saw- mills in Alaska will cut aouie of the logs and the remainder will b towed to Puget Sound mill-* or to Portland. Kiual dreeing ul the wood will be done In north- west siwt-ialty mill" Britain Builds Up Food "Laundries" If gas should be used against Britain, arrangements have been made to safeguard the nation's food supplies against contamina- tion. It has taken some years to per- fect the countrywide service which today stands ready to sal- vage any foodstuffs which may b exposed to gas. Air Raid Precau- tions experts were experimenting on the salvage of gas-contamina- ted foods before war begun and today, although no unit has had to- go into action, the service stands at the alert, ready for emergency. The backbone of the service * the growing chain of food "laun- dries" for cleansing the food, now built up throughout the country. The "laundries" are staffed by civil defence personnel, working in co-operation with the local authorities. It is estimated that these decontamination units could salvage ninety percent, of the food treated. Do You Remember? The inaugural ride of the horse and buggy sightseeing system was featured by a runaway at Niagara Falls. The new sightseeing car- riage turns the clock back a quar- ter of a century when horse drawn vehicles were last seen engaged in the tourist business. HOW CAN I? Q. What can I use as a sub- stitute for dog biscuits? A. One can save money spent on dog biscuits, as well as make use of all leftover bread. Slice the bread and put it into the broiling oven. Allow it to get brown on one side, and then turn over and brown until quite hard. This makes a good dog biscuit; it affords splendid roughage and is a good tooth cleaner. IJ. How can I be sure of an even color when using a soap dye? A. When tilling garments with a soap dye, put the cake of soap into a shaker and shake it in the water until you have the shade desired. This insures an even dye and clean hands. Q. How can I keep leather auto upholstery in good condition? A. To restore leather auto up- holstery after it has been rained on, and to keep it in good condi- tion, rub linseed oil into it occa- sionally. Q. How can I stop a leak in a gas plate? A. If you are using; a gas plate with a tubing: that leaks or smells, melt some paraffin wax and dip the leaky part in it, or dip it in all over. It will be as good as now. Painting metal gas hose with aluminum paint stops any leak and greatly prolongs its life. Q. How can I prevent sticking dresser drawers? A. Sandpaper and varnish the edges of sticking dresser drawers. The vm-ni.su will keep them from swelling and shrinking. It is a good idea to varnish or paint the inside of the drawers also.

A young: matron of our ac- quaintance, taking first aid train- ing, has reached the resuscitation stage. One evening recently, re- turning from a Red Cross meet- ing, she observed a man, on a darkened side street, sprawled face downward. "Aha," thought the matron. "Providence has sent me hither to minister to this poor unfortun- ate." Parking her car nearby, , she rushed over and began giving the treatment for resuscitation. Presently the man stirred, and looked up, spoke with great diffi- culty : "Lady," he said, "I don't know what you're up to, but I wish you'd quit tickling me. I'm hold- ing a lantern for a guy working down in this manhble." Quote. WITH DIXIE PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO Mn. Jones: "How'i your too getting along in the Army, Mr. Smith?" Mri. Smith: "What do you think? They've promoted Herbert for hitting a serg- eant. They've made him a court martial." Jack: "I've a friend I'd like to have you girls meet." Athletic Girl: "What can he do? Chorus Girl: "How much has he?" Literary Girl: "What does he read?" Business Girl: "What has he accomplished?" Religious Girl: "What church does he belong to?" Spinster: "Where is he?" Farmer: "Let me tell you, my friend, that hone know* a* mucii a> I do." Friend: Well, do.'t tell anybody ele; you might want to sell him >om day." When the old grandfather of a German family died, his sorrow- ing relatives put the usual an- nouncement in the local news- paper. It ran: "Ernst Muller lias been called to a better world." And next day they wer ar- nated for criticizing the Naai regime. "What did th. calf .ay to "I don't know." "U my fodder 1. there?" Tha bus wa*. an usual, crowded and the party of five WAAF'a found themselves hanging on the straps. Presently one bright mam- ber of the company staid loudly to her friend: "I wish that smart, good-looking man would give me his seat." Almost before she'd finished, five men stood up to offer their seats. He: "I'm thinking of get- ting married; what <U yoa think?" She: "I think it'i a wonder* ful idea if you a<k me." In 1936-37 the output of timber in the Belgian Congo was doubled and the maize crop trebled. Packers Develop Dehydrated Meat Product May Become Popu- ar With Domestic Consumers Disclosure that large scale lend lease export of meat is at hand, through a revolutionary shipping space-saving method of prepara- tion, was heralded in the packing industry as a major development in the livestock-meat trade. Meat is to be dehydrated and shipped in containers requiring only a fraction of the cargo room needed for transportation of a corresponding quantity during the last world war. Packers estimate enough meat can be packed into a military plane to feed a whole division for a limited period. Of equal importance with tha space-saving feature was disclos- ure that beef would be shipped to American allies and armed forces. This attracted special attention in the cattle industry, since up to now most lend-lease shipments have been pork and lard. Save* Shipping Space There were some estimates that the compressing of meat by the new process would permit ship- ment in one vessel of a quantity equivalent to the cargo of ten ships a quarter century &gv. The new aiethou, developed by packers at the request of govern- ment officials, involves grinding of meat, pro-cooking, and drying in air dryers or vacuum. Thu produces small palatable pellet*, to which it U necessary only to add water to make a substance al- most identical to freah ground meat. Packers believe the dehydrated product eventually may become popular with domestic consumers. Their kitchen experts have work- ed out numerous menu* for dishes, iavluding meat loaf, hamburger, hash and 'Combination!) with veg- etable*.
