[utility counts most for that rich, satisfying flavour which only a fine quality tea yields, use . . - TO TEE HET By Percival Christopher Wren Chapter XIV. Memories came to Richard Wendover. The time when he had met the man whom it was now his life's purpose to meet again; the man whom he would some day meet un- less one of them died first, which heaven forbid. What had made Bailitzin so vin- dictive? Surely not the little epi- sode at the Russian Embassy in London? Was it just the nature of tie brute, racial enitathy. or had the circumstances in which he had caught Wendover at Tashkent had something to do with tt. given him m Jolt, made him uncomfortable, and decided him to give \Yendover lesson? Memories It must have been a nasty jar for the authorities to learn that one of the professors at the Rus- sian Officers' School of Oriental Languages at Tashkent was a British officer, and obviously, therefore, a British secret agent. Of course, it had been Wend- over's good luck that there, was a Yacancy for a teacher of Hindus- tani and Pushtu to those Russian officers especially selected for in- telligence work in India and on the. Border. Had there been no such vacancy, and iiad it not hap- pened that he and Shere Khan had made the acquaintance at the tea house at which they lodged of an old gentleman who taught Persian at the school, he would never have known of it.. The Adjutant, formerly a prom- inent Nihilist, wflo had been like Lenin an exile in London in Tsar- tot* days, and whose language wax lar more colloquial and idiomatic axd slangy than that used by li'il M.ihommed, decided that the lat- ter's slight accent anJ Victorian type of English did not debar him* in" the least from teaching 'he Eng- lish language to th officer-*tu- donts in his charge. Interesting students, too. Wend- over had discovered. Somewhat different from those to be found tit Sandhurst and Woolwich, most of them being men o( consider- able service and experience. A motley collection of widely differ- ent social as well as geographical origins, varying from Lapland to Armenia, from the Vkraine to Mongolia, most of them Red reg- ular officers, some of them secret service agents from different walks of civilian life. Yee, it had been one of his least unhappy periods since the smash. that thrillingly interesting, dang- erous time when be, a British of- ficer and unaccredited but pro- frasional secret service- agent, had worked in the very heart of the enemy's camp, cultivated the men who were the most dangerous foes of his country, listened to their conversation, examined with meti- culous care the contents of waste- paper-baskets gathered by Shere Khan who had obtained a job as night watchman, a stupid and ig- norant fellow upon whom the stu- dents of Pushtu could, neverthe- less, practice^ ISSUE No. 3043 ~ OVERSEAS *1.

Wend- over to discover that more than one of the stiwlems of Pushtu, Hin- dustani and English were anxious to learn all they could about the Sinking Hadji of Sufed Kot, and" to now that whereas to the Bri- tish he was a truculent firebrand whose x "clUef' r Interest in life wa8 the breaking of the pax Britannia and the fomentation of trouble on the Border, it appeared that he w:*s hy th- - earnest inquirers re- garded as a great patriot, one whose yearnings for self-determin- ation ought to be gratified, whose struggles for the spread of his ra- ligious and political principles should be assisted by all true lov- ers of freedom. Moving cautiously and with the skill of experience, the Professor of Pushtu. Hindustani and English had contrived to give the impres- sion that he was not uninterested in politics; that he had ambitions; that greatly as he appreciated and enjoyed the honor of being Profes- sor of Languages, he would even more greatly enjoy that of being an emissary and an agent who on the Indian Border could serve Holy Russia, or If they preferred it. Unholy Russia. What his hearers wished to think, he had given them grounds for thinking, what they wanted to know and to believe, he had taught them: their wishes were rather to his thoughts when preparing hi? impromptu outbursts. * # And in a surprisingly short time he had found himself not only the leading authority on the politics of the Border aud Northern India, but had somehow come to be ac- cepted as a political refugee, a po- tential if not actual Red Shirt, a fritnd and follower of the 'power- ful Singing Hadji of Sufed Kot and an enemy of the British, suffic- iently active and powerful to have been in danger of the reach of their long Hrm until he had cross- ed the Border, reached Tashkent and entered the Haven that hav- en of safety which is happy Rus- sia.

Bailitzin had struck. And very cleverly. For some time past t^e Adjutant of the school hail -been taking no- tice of the Professor of Pushtu, Hindustani and English, had made a point of accidentally encour.t- <- him. of sounding him as to his opinions, and had one day ent for him to his office and question- ed him as to his i<f -sonal history, compiling a do^itr for the col- lege records. * He had had to think quickly and answer each item of the- question- naire promptly, and finally the Adjutant had asked him when he intended to return to the Indian Northwest Frontier country a-nd what he proposi-1 ID i!o when he got there. And JHunshi Gul Mahommed had replied that he was so happy were he was that he had formed no plans for the future, but how infinitely happy would he be if the Russian officers under whose kind control he now worked would send him to the Frontier, or to Afghanistan, or evtn to India. Send him, on what business, the Adjutant had inquired. Oh, any business, Gul ..M.ihom- med had replied, fingering his beard with sly. depretaiing smiie. Any business whatsoever. And thereafter on several sub- sequent occasions they had grad- ually got down to it and talkt.l real secret service stuff. And then had come tht- gre.it day when the commandant of the school himself had sent for Mua- shi Gul Mahommed and given him a prolonged and thorough gruel- ing. The leaven was working. :ind working fast. What a stroke it would be if the man who longed beyon.l any- thing to be the most invaluable agent of the Military Intelligence Service of the Indian Government, could get himself actually appoint- ed to a post in which capacity he would work and rise to promin- ence in that branch of the Rus- sian Secret Service that dealt with India.

The complete transmitter In- cludes the sending set. an ordi- nary cloth-and-wood frame box kite, an antenna consisting of very fine copper wire wound around the glass kite string, two balloons and capsules of com- pressed hydrogen. The balloons, inflated with hydrogen, can be used to carry the antenna aloft in the event of a calm. Glass is used for the string be- cause of its strength in propor- tion to its weight, and because it will not rot or otherwise deterior- ate from the effects of sait water, tropic sunlight, rain or da up- ness. With a hand crank to gen- erate current the transmitter automatically grinds out the SOS signal on 500 kilocycles, the in- international distress frequency. May Bomb Rome; Not Vatican City We could, by one sharp raid, shutter the fantastic immunity which Rome has enjoyed in this war of cities, says an English paper. The emphasis must be Rome not the Vatican City. Rome is one of the greatest mili- tary targets in the world war. It is the centre of the Italian war administration. It is an important railway centre. It has gveat bar- racks and a vast airfield. Our bombing technique is such that Rome can be bombed without hurting the Vatican City. That knowledge will console all thoe who would otherwise recoil from a military expedient which might bring distress to Catholics all over the world. At the forefront of our thoughts must be the con- servation of the lives of our air- men, sailors, and soldiers. The warlike city of Rome still stands unchallenged. Its testing mu'ht shorten the war by an in:kol- ble measure. TABLE TALKS SADIE B CHAMBERS WARTIME CANNING (Continued) Equipment Equipment should be Sharp knives, colander, bowls, measur- ing cups. towels, enamel pie plates, wooden spoons, a wide mouthed funnel for filling sealers, and a lifter to save burned fing- ers. The sterilizer may be the com- mon wash boiler or preserving kettle, pressure cooker or the ov- en. Containers Several makes of glass sealers are available, screw top, and vac- uum type-. All are equally satis- factory, if they can be made com- pletely Airtight. To tinish a perfect seal, a seal- er for use in canning should have a smooth rim and tight fitting cover. Test each sealer before you use it. See hat it is not cracked. See that there are no chips in the rim of sealer or cover. Fill the sealers with water, adjust'the rub- ber, seal and invert a few min- utes to test for leakage. Be sore the wire spring of a spring top sealer springs into position with a snap. New metal screw caps should replace those which have become '.'racked or corroded. Rubber Rings Rubber rings are an important part of canning equipment. To be effective the rubber ring must be pliant. For a good seal it is nec- tssary to iiave the proper sized ling for the sealer used. The bor- es are plainly marked and the types of rings are not inter- changeable. Wide rings fit spring top sealer%. Narrow rings fit screw top sealers. It is preferable that new rings hould be used each yt-ar, how- ever some retain their elasticity and ar thus suitable foi x re-use. Rubber _ is valuable. therefore great care should be taken in stor- ing usable rings. On removal from the sealer they should be washed and dried immediately, then laid flat so they will not lose their shape. Keep rubber rings in a dry place away from light. Old type rings are tested by bending double. An unsatisfactory ring will crack. A second test, is stretching. A good ring will stretch back. The war-grade rubber ring being manufactured is not as elas- tic as tile old tyoe but makes a satisfactory seal. These rings will not return to shape and may break BUNNY HUG JIMMY RAISES RABBITS for fun and pocket money. Works hard on his Dad's farm, walks a mile to school.

Quebec is delivering the goods, in quality and quantity, promptly and efficiently. Her sons and daughters are distinguishing themselves by fighting, serving, working in all phases of the Allied battle of combat, convoy, and production. Quebec is a vital factor in the production of war material and weapons. She produces 40% of the United Nations volume of aluminum, 9O'~ of the total supply of asbestos, 25 r " c of the world's newsprint (70'^, of all newspapers in the Americas depend on her for paper). Lumbering and mining for war rXrposes have reached vast proportions in French Canada. This Province supplies enormous quantities of foodstuffs to the United Nations, especially to Britain. Merchant ships and war vessels, tanks, artillery, shells, aircraft, parachutes, supplies for the forces, ammunition of all kinds, depth charges, innumerable wood and textile war products, chemicals, explosives, are major items of our output from a vast manufacturing complex powered by enormous hydro- electric resources. War demands on our industries and agriculture, and our increasing participation in the Nary, Merchant Marine, Air Force, Army, and Women's Auxiliary Services, are absorbing all our man and woman power. Quebec supports to the limit every war and Victory Loan and every war campaign for funds, overtopping all objectives. Education is making great strides and is now focussed on war needs. Quebec is keeping faith! We warmly welcome all our fellow Canadians whose business brings them to Quebec Province. Though our people toil night and daydfar our common Victory, our hospitality to visitors is as warm as of old while the quaint charm and scenic beauty of Quebec remain unchanged.
