RETURN OF THE RUSSIAN Only bleak ruins remain to greet him as a soldier of the lied Army returns to his home in town retaken from the Nazis. This dramatic picture is from the March of Time's "One Day of War," docu- mentary film of a single day on tho many fronts of Russia as filmed by 160 Soviet soldier-photographers. Have You Heardl The reporter limped in. "Well," said the news editor, ''did you get the interview?" The reporter pointed t a pair of black eyes. "We cun't print a pair of black eyes. Where'* the story?'' The reporter lifted his hat and displayed a huge bump on his head. "Ix>ok," he repeated. "What good i that? We can't print things like that. Didn't you get the chap to say a few words?" "Yes," was the reply, "but you can't print those either!" Man (employed by i Aberdonian) : "I have been here ten yeart, sir, doing three men't work for one mn' money, and now I want raite." Employer: "1 canna (ie ye that, but if ye'll tell me th lad replied unthinkingly: "Yes, sir, very!" "Who wa that you were talking to for a whole hour, at the gate?" aiked Mr. Simpton. "That was Mrs. Smith; she hadn't time to come in," re- plied hit w!fe. Buckwheat The reason for giving the name buckwheat to the grain from which buckwheat flour is made is very simple, says tho Fort Wil- liam Times-Journal. The buck- wheat grain, while very mrch smaller, is of the same triangllar color as a beech nut and naturally was called bockwhcat or beuk- wheat at first. Time works its change* on language us on every- thing else and so today tins beech- wheat is culled buckwheat.

SOLDIERS, *Ui OUT TIRED ACHES WHAT SCIENCE IS DOINC PARACHUTES OF GLASS Army bombers are using para- chutes made of woven glass fib- res to drop million candle powet flares. The glass chute is blackened with graphite to shield the air- men's eyes against the glare. This chute has to stand the in- tense heat of the million candle power flares and, although the glass fibres are almost as fine and light aa silk, they can stand a temperature that would soften iron. Many other use.s of fii-re glass are. secret. But a dozen are listed which arc not secret. On the sea coast, fibre glass good-s are used in camouflage to stand extreme moisture The Navy is using the fibre to coat one side of insulating boards used in warships' interiors. This has freed enough aluminum to make 200 four-motored bombers, as the glass replaces an insulating material that had to he sheathed with aluminum. The signal corps uses field tele- phono cable made with woven glass, replacing metal nnd lighten- ing the weight. Ships and planes are using all sorts of cables cov- ered with glass cloth, sometimes pure woven glass, sometimes mix- ed or impregnated with other ma- terials. Planes use the glass cloth fot insulation against cold. The glass makes warmer Army barracks. The prize exhibit is the tent work- shops used in the Arctic, where glass insulation has reduced the bnlkiness of the structural mater- ials by 75 to 80 per cent.

The Calm Courage Of Women At War A naval officer had gone down from Portsmouth to London with an important message to deliver without delay to the captain of a warship, relates the . Windsor Star. He was to be picked up at the quay by a moto.-boat and taken to the warship. Coincident with the arrival of the naval officer at the base came a blitz. As he took shelter in a porch, the naval man heard the familiar put-put-put of a motor- boat. Steered and manned by Wrens, the little craft nosed its way to the landing. Saluting as meticulously as though on a parade ground, in- stead of in a blitz, the Wren in charge reported to the officer. The girls took him out to the war-hip, waited for him and brought him back right through the worst of the business. The Wrens took the duty in stride, never worrying 1 about bombs or danger. Co,>per. gold, ivory, tin, dia- monds and palm oil are all found in quantity in the Belgian Congo. Picob IT DOES TASTE GOOD IN A PIPE!

"The figures are mostly Ger- man so the extent of the toll of human life and suffering is only partially revealed," the commit- tee said. "Deaths at the hands of Gestapo agents are never reveal- ed nnd accurate information is difficult to obtain." The committee said 2,500,000 persons had been executed or had died in Polish concentration camps, and 744,000 had been exe- cuted in Yugoslavia. Other totals include: France, 24,000; Greece, 18,000; Czecho- slovakia, 2,463; Netherlands, 2,200; Belgium, 193; Norway, 140 and Luxembourg 1 , 129. The figures do not include vic- tims of towns such as Lidice, Czecho-Slovakia and others in Yugoslavia and Greece which were wiped out in reprisal for sab- otage or resistance. Reindeer JVleat To Help Out Rations Gam ! and other delights of the gourmet are helping to solve the food problem. One piece of good fortune is the surplus of reindeer on Nunivak Island, off the coast of Alaska. From fewer than 200 animals the herd has increased in twenty five years to an esti- mated 19,000, with browse enough to support only about 10,000 re- ported to be available. All buck fawns of the 1943 crop and surplus adults are to be killed and the meat supplied to the armed forces and civilians. Elk present a similar picture. In United States national parks they arc protected. During the present winter, co-operation of state and national agencies, fa- vored by weather and otl.er fac- tors, has made possible a total reduction to 7,230 elk. The meat of the killed animals was conusm- ed by the Indians and residents of Montana. Although many different dia- lects are spoken in China, the written language is the- same in all sections.
