HANDS THAT ROCK THE AIRPORT Cradle rockers turn lock crushers on Cyprus to keep British airfields on that Mediterranean island in top shape. Native women make ''little ones out of big ones," then pile up the rocks for trans- port to the airfield, where steam rollers level the surface. Have You Heard? The choris girl was telling the other girls in the dressing-room all about her birthday party. "You should have seen th cake," she told her companion*. "It was marvelous. There) were eventccr. candles on it one for ?ach year." There was a disbelieving siltnc* for a moment or two, then her best friend smiled. "Seventeen candlea, ehT" he purred. "What did you do -burn them at both ends?" A celebrated vocalUt wat in a motorcar accident one) day. A paper after recordnif the accident, added: "We) are happy to state that he wat able to appear the) following evening in three piece*." The reporter was sent to writ* up a charity ball. Next day the ditor called him to hi* desk. "Look here, what do you mean by this? 'Among the most beauti- ful girU waa Horatio I ucian Ding- ley.' Why, you crazy idiot! Old Dingley isn't a girl and beside* he's one of our principal share- holders." "I can't help that," re- turned the realistic report**. "That'i where he was." "Nice little wedding, wasn't it?" ''. and do you know, the bride'e father gave) them pound of butter to start out with." Mother: "Johnnie, dear, I wai hoping you would bt unselfish enough to give your little sister the largest piece of candy. Why, ven that old hen will giv* all the nicest dainties to her little cliicki and take only a tiny on* once In * while for herself." Johnnie (after watching the old hen for a while) : "Well, mom, I'd do the same thing if it wai worms." What'* that atone in Ann'* engagement ring, Joycei?" "A rolling atone, my ! I had it once." Jack, writing to a deulr: "Sir, pleue send me two mongcese." He did not like tbe look of this, tore it up and began again. "Sir, please send me two mongooies." Thii also failed to satisfy him, a he wrote: "Sir, please send mt a mongoose; and, >y th way, end me another." Daughter "The girl wbo heiitate* i* loet." Father "Noneente. She'* extinct!" for common ordinary tore throat WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING PLASTIC GOGGLES A new type of industrial goggle- mask has been patented by the supervising optician at one of the British Royal Ordnance Filling- Factories. The mask Ii made of cellulose acetate sheet about 1-6 in. thick, which has l>een found to resist lead slug-s fired at point- blank range, from an air rifle. The slugs were flattened and the acetate was only dented. A goggle-mask gave highly satisfac- tory results when tested against an explosion produced by 59 times the amount of explosive which had been known to cause some of the eye casualties. The new goggles are of a very protective deilgn, but free from curtailment of vision and distor- tion, and us they weigh as little as 2 ozs. they can he worn with- out fatigue. INFLUENZA Against the ever-present medi- cs! spectre of another world-wide Influenza epidemic, a* catastro- phic as that In 1918 which killed some 20 million peolpe, the Brit- ish Lancet snd The Journal of the American Medical Association have juit sounded a comforting note, N'ewswetk points out. They declared that even if in- fluenza should again run riot on a global scale, mortality will likely be far lower than In the last war. For in the 10 IB out- break most of :li' deaths were due, not directly to influenza or- ganisms, but to secondary bac- terial infections of the respiratory tract (pneumonia, for example) for which Influenza had paved the wsy. Though no really effective treatment for Influenza Itself has been developed since 1918, there ar new and proved remedies for the killing of secondary infec- tions- -the sulfa drugs and spoci- fl bacterial anti-scrums which already have cut their toll. Greetings By Air More than 3,000,000 airgraph letters nrid nearly 5,000,000 post- card* were flown to Africa, India and the Near Fast during the Christmas and New Year season by British Overscan Airway*.

Is it obligatory that refresh- ments of some kind be furnished after a wedding reheursal? 2. Isn't it bad manners to let one's mind wander while some- one is talking with you. 3. If a person asks you how old you are, or what your salary is, or some such question, what should you reply? 4. For what use only is the nap- kin at the dinner table? 5. When a customer in a shop ii buying something that is not being worn the current season, shouldn't the saleswoman tell her? 6. When asking a person to repeat a remark is it all right to say "What?" or "I beg your par- don, what did you shay?" ANSWERS 1. It is & nice thing to do. The refreshments are usually served after the rehearsal at the home of the bride, or the groom invites the little party of attendants to some eating place. 2. Yes. One should strive to be n good listen- er, though it is often difficult when the speaker is an egoist, or describing in detail his last operation. 3. "There are some eiuestions that I prefer not to answer." It is only a very rude, tactless person who would ask such questions. 4. Only for wip- ing the lips. It is not for the cheeks, perspiration or the nose. The napkin should be lifted ai inconspicuously as possible to the mouth and lightly brushed across the mouth, and then replaced upon the lap. 5. It i> better not, unless the customer asks the direct question. 6. No; "I'm sorry, but I didn't understand" it much more courteous. HOW CAN I? ? ? Q. How can I remedy olbows that are rough and unsightly? A. Scrub them every night with warm water and soap, using a soft brush. After they are clean, rinsed, and dry, massage with warm olive oil. Keep up this treatment for two weeks and see the improvement. Q. How can I make beef juice? A. Cut fresh raw beef up into imall squares and put a few pieces at .. time into the potato ricer. Sprinkle s little salt over it and press hard until no more juice runs out. P. How can I keep overshoes looking neat? A. They can be kept looking neat and clean by wiping them occasionally with a rag wet with n ammonia solution. Q. What is a good cleaner for silk, satin, lace, or any cloth? A. A paste made of granulated cornmcal and gasoline makes a good cleaner for almost any cloth. Cover the soiled parts and leave on for a short time ; then brush off thoroughly. This leaves rfo rings or streaks. When brushing any silk goods, use a piece of velvet. Q. How can I eliminate water bugs? A. Pour a small quantity of kerosene, or a weak solution of turpentine (8 parts water to 1 part turpentine), down the drain pipe once or twice a week. U. S.

Click Taken Out of Nazi Salute So automatic have become the reflexes of the young Nazi that the first thing he does when shot down over Kngland is throw off his parachute, spring to his feet, click his heels and bark "Heil Hitler!" at his captors, John Mac- Cormack writes in The New York Times Magazine. As a result, Brit- ish intelligence officers have a standing rule that prisoners must be deprived of their boots before being interviewed. Even the young Nazis feels foolish when he clicks his heels and no sound it audible. DIRECTS PUBLICITY " \ Plcob Ifs a mild., cool, sweet smoke GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO Might Kill Menace With Faster Ships Vice-Admiral Craig Waller In London Daily Telegraph The appointment of J. William Horsey, a leading figure in Can- ada's food industry, as chairman of the Ontario public relation! section of the National War Fi- nance Committee, was announced recently in Toronto. Mr. Horsey, who is president of Dominion Stores, Limited, is also national chairman of the Cana- dian food industry's "March to Berlin" stamp drive and has for several weeks been active in the organization of the war savings stamp campaign being aggressive- ly carried on by the food indus- try, during the month of Febru- ary. The sale of stamps through over forty thousand outlets from coast to coast in Canada is expected to exceed on million dollars during the period of the campaign. No one, so far as I am aware, has attempted to controvert my claims: (a) That we can practically kill the U-boat menace by building cargo ships and tankers of 16 knots or more instead of concen- trating on the shapeless "ugly duckling" 10-knotter. The fast ship would be easily manoeuvred hi a tight situation and would hold her speed in rough weather. She would deliver her cargo in half the time of the slow ship, and fewer ships, therefore, would be required to do the job. (b) That aircraft are useless either as protectors of cargo ships or destroyers of submarines at night or in thick weather, and, moreover, lack the potent wea- pons of the ram and the heavy Q.F. gun with which to kill the U-boat. Experts have convinced me that the design and construction of fast cargo vessels and tankers by mass production methods ii a practical proposition, and" that with Diesel engines the fuel con- ITCH STOPPED ' IM or Montr Biek ath- tcnuljy eaaw<l "km trouble*, ute fut-tctinf , ooolusf . too- septic. liquid D.

Sink 1,000,000 Tons Of Axis Shipping Almost coincident with occu- pation of Tripoli there came a British Navy announcement of the sinking by a British submar- ine of the millionth ton of Axis shipping in the Mediterranean. The Commander of the British Fleet in the Mediterranean, Ad- miral Sir Henry H. Harwood, paid tribute to "this amazing feat, which has certainly contributed to the defeat of the enemy along the African Coast." Spartans in 400 B.C., used wood smoke u a form of ga> warfare.
