Have You Heard Tlie weary-looking man stopped before a shop window whicli had been hired by the Humane Soci- ety. In the centre of the window was the picture of a large, furry animal with a woebegone expres- sion on its face. Underneath was a placard: "1 was skinned to pro- vide a won:an with fashionable furs." I-oi a moment the tired ex- pressior. faded from the man's face. "i uor old chap," he muttered. "So wns I." Uncle: "Come, Johnny, let'* go li*ck to tlie lioute." Johnny (on first visit to the country): "Wait just minute, uncle I want to the end of thit stream fo by." In a liner striking heavy weath- er in mid-ocean, some of the pas- fengers were very uncomfortable. Watching a miserable-looking man who was benaing over tho side of the ship, a fair young thing turned to the woman ut her side. "Your husband is a poor sailor, is he not?" she said.

Nazi Diet Coarse But StiJ Adequate Food Position Par From Critical As Substitutes Used Germany's diet is much poorer than that of wartime America, but itK fooil position is far from crit- ical, the I'nlted States Oflloe of War Information reports on the basis of data reaching tlie Hoard of Kconomic Warfare and other Government agencies. Despite the Nazis' thorough miking of (he produce of the oc- cupied countries, the German diet is coarse, monotonous and lacking in such odihle foods as nieut. ani- nuil fats and white bread. Food production in Axis-held Europe in the 1942-43 crop year will fall short of ordinary civilian requirements, it was said, but it U not expected seriously to impair the German war effrt.

Less Grain and Fruit (.'tilled S-tates Government data indicates that the German diet will be only slightly worse this year than last, with shortages of fats and livestock remaining the gore spots in the Axis fund eco- nomy. Both the European grain and fruit crops were cut last year as a consequence of bad weather, and the fish catch - affected by the blockade, the ship shortage 'and danger of mines Is still below normal, it was said, but practically e\ory country in Europe reported an increased potato crop.

PLASTIC RAZOR A "simplastic" ru/.or, as it \n called, has been t'esigned ot meet army requirements. The blades, of course, are still of the finest steel. The average metal razor weighs two ounces; the new plas- tic razcr only three-quarters of an ounce. It requires 125 pounds of brass, steel and zinc to make a thousand tneta. razors., but only five pounds to make a thousanl plastic razors. These five pounds go into n small screw at the top of the handle. Since about 12,- 000,000 metnl razors are pro- duced annually in normal times, it follows that a million and a half pounds of fine (etai could be saved <)y making razors of plastics instead of metals. Sim- plastic is a. i acetate cellulose. NEARSluHTEDNESS Children like to read the fun- nies with their heads down. Dr. Frederick A. Woll (Columbia) (iisapproves of the habit because it is one of the chief causes of nearsijrhtednc n When heads hang down eyeballs arc stretched, so that the distance between the te- tina and the lens is increased. One Austrian physici..n went so far t(S to harness a class of chil- dren so that they could not get too clo.-se to their v/ork. Result: A reduction in the percentage of nearsightednss Dr. Woll prefers to enlarge the print so that when a funny is brought close to the eye the field of vision is narrow- ed. Children then hold the book away in order to take in a whole \vorj or phrase at a Blanco. Future of Arctic Full of Promise The future of Arctic Canada, both commercially and spiritually, is full of hope and promise, said the Right Rev. A. I.. Fleming, Bishop of the Arctic, in a recent address. He predicted that the Arctic way would be the quickest and safest route to Great Britain, Kuropc, Russia and Asia, and the most popular after the war. Bishop Fleming was enthusiastic about the development ot alt fields by the United States Army, declaring that from it would come a irreat opening up of the Arctic. The Arctic is short of many things, food supplies, particularly canned goods, radio supplies, spare parts foi engines and com- mercial planes, lie reported, but If* a mild. .cool, sweef smoke GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO the Eskimo exhibits considerable ingenuity in substitutes.
