WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING PLYWOOD Plywood has been on the market some time but only now is ready to go places, Laurence Stern writes In the Magazine of Wall Street. It's just two sheets of wood (flued together, with th irrain of one running opposite to the grain of the other. Up to that point, it waa just modified lumber. Chief merit: it wouldn't pull or warp and had much great- er structural strength than lumber of equal thickness. Disadvantage: could be used only for interiors, as the glue would not stand up under the weather. Today's plywood will "stay put" in any weather because a syntheti* resin has replaced glue as th . binder. But what will really car- ry this "lumber sandwich" to town is development of a very recent process by which, under steam in a pressure mold, plywood i "cooked" into any 'curved form desired and at the same time it strength and durability are hujre- ly increased. Thus transformed, its possible practical uses many of them di- rectly competitive with metals are almost limitless. It's light- weight, actually stronger than most metals of similar thickness, so dense that you would dull the edge of an axe trying to crack it, non-corrosive, waterproof, al- most fireproof, non-conductive of heat and cold, it won't splinter, it does not "fatigue" under con- stant vibration as does metal, and it won't soften or anneal in high ranges of temperature. In short, here is a brand new answer to a designer's dream for anything from a bathtub to a bus body, from a speed boat to a typewriter frame, from a refrig- erator cabinet to the fuseluge and wings of an airplane. THE U. S. S. LEXINGTON CARRIES ON A new aircraft carrier U. S. S. Lexington slides down the ways at Quiucy, Mass., launching to carry on Where her famous namesake left oft punching for Allied victory. The $60,000,1100 carrier of the Essex class was completed a year ahead of uchodule in the same yards whera her hard-hitting predecessor was built in 1025. Modem Etiquette 1. Should a person avoid using slang in conversation? 2. Isn't it all right to send out handwritten wedding invitations? 3. When a single man is in- vited for dinner to the home of married friends, should he take tha hostess a box of candy or flowers? 4. When a woman is standing talking with a man and drops some article, should she say, "I'll get it"? 6. When a hostess wishes to give a cocktail party and has no maid, how should she proceed? C. When passing a salt or a pepper shaker should one place it on the table or hand it directly to the person who asked for it? Answer* 1. Y<is. One should use as good English as he is capable. The English language contains a larger vocabulary than any other language in existence, and it is really unnecessary to intersperse every sentence with some slang expression. 2. Yes. Informal notes, written on one's personal stationery, are all right, but en- graved invitations and announce- ments are in better form. 8. This is a thoughtful thing to do, par- ticularly if the man is not in a position to return the invitation. 4. No. She should allow the man to pick it up for her. 5. She may ask one of the men guests to help her make the cocktails, or she may have all the necessary things on a tray or table, and have each guest mix his own. <>. It is less awkward to put it down on the table and let the person pick it up, than to hand it directly to him. Refused To Distribute Ballots The United States War and Nvy Department* refused to de- liver "war ballots" to New York voters overseas, declaring the Job "wouM nmnlfwtly hitprfprn with the war effort." The War Hallot Commission an- nounced receipt of similar letter* from War Secretary Henry L. sciir mi and the Navy Department ! . > I- MI ., a commission proposal that military authorities transport and distribute approximately 150, 000 special ballots abroad. "Willie entirely sympathetic to ' the principle of soldiers voting at ! any election In which they are ; *llKitilc". Stliiinnn wrote, "the War j Depart ment cannot take measures ' which In Its opinion would Inter- fere with the primary fiiiu'llon* of tlie military service." I Ceiling Prices Put On Honey Maximum wholesale and retail selling prices for extracted honey and for pasteurized and granu- lated honey have been fixed in an order issued by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board's Foods Administration. As in the case of the recent order setting maximum prices on eggs, the primary object of this order is to maintain uniformity of supplies in all sections of the Dominion, the board said in a statement. It emphasized that maximum prices have been established and that normal fluctuations below this level are expected to con- tinue. The order provides that the price of pasteurized granulated honey may exceed that specified for extracted honey, by I'.s cents a pound. The retailer's maximum mark- up is limited to 20 per cent, of his soiling price or three cents a pound whichever is lower. The production of light honey was down in Kastorn Canada this year but in Western Canada the reduction was less pronounced. The use of light honey for in- dustrial purposes has been re- stricted by a previous order. HARNESS & COLLARS Farmers Attention Consult your nearest Harness Shop about Staco Harness Supplies.

Made only bv: SAMUEL TREES CO., LTD. WRITE FOR CATALOGUE 42 Wellington St. K., Toronto HOW CAN I? Q. How can I facilitate the beating of egg whites? A. Add a pinch of cream of tartar before starting to beat the whites. The eggs will froth quick- ly and will hold their shape longer. Q. How can I avoid waste when a cake of soap is so thin that it is about to break? A. Place it on a new cake, put them in warm water and press together. Lay aside, and when cold there will be one cake of soap instead of two, and no waste. Q. How can I improve the ap- pearance of a gilt picture frame? A. After washing the gilt frame, paint it with the white of an egg, using a soft camel's hair brush, and applying the coat even- ly and smoothly. Q. How can I keep the corks in the bottoms of salt shakers firm? A. If the corks come out of the bottoms of the salt and pepper shakers, fill the shakers and then place a strip of adhesive tape over the cork. The corks will be kept firm until time to refill. Q. How can I get relief from burns and scalds? A. Common baking soda, either wet or dry, bound on a burn or scald immediately, will usually give instant relief. This is caused by excluding the air from the wound. Capt. Gilhooly Tells Of Irish Calm The following story was brought back from overseas by Captain Joseph P. Gilhooly, well-known Ottawa member of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps. The locale of the story, which Captain Gilhooly swore was true, was tile living room of a com- fortable Belfast home where the Ottawa doctor was visiting friends. The raid had reached a peak of fury . . . bombs were crumpling down on all sides . . . and the Luftwaffe with no opposition waa machine-gunning the house-tops. The hostess of the house had more than a usual amount of tea handy and WHS passing around the brew. "Do have another cup, Mary," she called to the maid over the din of bomb bursts, machine gun chatter and the crash of rubble. "Oh, no, thank you, Mum. I'm sure it would keep me awake if I had two cups," replied Mary with a curtsy.

He fell from th very top to the ve^y bottom bouncing on each stair- and fin- ished by rolling right across th corridor. One of his servants hearing th disaster, rushed up to help. "I hope your Honor isn't hurt?" asked the man anxiously. "No," replied the Judge, with a wry smile, "it's not my honor that is liurt." Wif (at breaUfatt) I want to do <ome shopping to- day, George, if the weather it favorable. What doet tha paper forecast say? Husband (consulting his pa- per) Rain, hail, sleet, thun- der, lighting, snow, and fierce winds. The meaning of the word "col- lision" was being explained by the teacher of the class of small boys and girls. "A collision," she said, "is when two things come together un- expectedly." Immediately a small boy jump- ed up and said: "Please teacher, we've had a collision at our house." "Whatever do you mean?" "Well mother just had twins." "At 20 you left the coun- try and came to the city. An<* for twenty-five years you'v* been working very hard. What for?" "To get money to live in the country." A person has to be a contor- tionist to get along these days. First of all he's got to keep hi back to the wall and his ear to the ground. He's expected to put his shoulder to the wheel, his nose to the grindstone, keep a level head and both feet on the earth. And at the same time look for the silver lining with his head in the clouds. "You'd better go home, George; your wife has pre- sented you with a rebate off your income tax."
