~Te i Foe Indians Preserve Home Industries Keep Native Arts and Crafts on Reserves of Dominion = 8kill In Woven Beadwork One of the most interesting Booths at the drts and Crafts Fair at St. Helen's "Island, Quebec, is that occupied by a group of Ques bec Indians selected by the Depart- ment on Indian Affaire at Ottawa a8 demonstrators of Home Indus- tries carried out on their reserves. John Leclerc of Caughnawaga -- 7" %mown as "John the:Chair-maker" «-- {8 a great attraction, and demon- trates his skill not only in making e chair itself but in weaving raw- hide "snowshoe" seats. Beside him is Mary Lazarre, a basket-maker of St. Regls, near Cornwall, A young girl pupil of one of the Do- minion Government Day Schools at Caughnawaga demonstrates the art of woven beadwork and another weaves skillfully on a larger Que- bec Loom. BASKET-WEAVING Weaving of every type comes easlly to these Indians, as the prin- elple of basket-weaving is not far vemoved from loom-weaving. Several Indians .in native cost- ame act as salesmen in marketing the basketry, bark-work, weaving, wooden souvenirs and 'other novel tiles made by the various groups of workers remaining on the reserves, Wood Is Useful As War Material Essential In Manufacture of War Equipment -- Yields Im- portant Chemicals The value of wood as a war mat- érial-is attested by its inclusion in certain lists of war contraband, ac-. cording to the Forest Products Lab- oratories, Department of Mines and Resources, Ottawa. Timber Is essential for boxes for' ammunition and supplies, for the building of acrodromes, aircraft, dug-outs, shelters and pontoon bridges, and to provide tles for railway tracks. Wood is used in the manufacture of war equipment, as for example In the stocks of rifles and light machine guns. Cartridge wrappers consist "of paper made from wood pulp. Large quantities of fibreboard and corrugated board are used in packaging. Purified wood pulp yields cellulose nitrate or gun-cotton used as an explosive for demolitions and as the chief in- gredient of smokeless powders, photographic films, collodion and celluloid plastics. Dynamite, of which wood flour forms an apprec- fable part, is employed in construc- tion outside of war zones. Specially' prepared wood charcoal is the chief working substance In gas masks. Acetone, obtained from acetate of lime produced in the distillation of wood, performs the function of a solvent or dlluent In some explos- ives. CANADA HAS PLENTY Wood Is an important auxiliary war material. Rayon and staple ~ fibro from wood pulp can be miore extensively used in place of cot- ton. Producer gas from wood and charcoal may be used for develop: ing power for automobiles and for trucks, and so release quantities of gasoline for military purposes. | Ethyl alcohol can be produced from wood waste and from the waste li- quor of gulphite pulping. ----Thus~ the vast timber resources--|- of Canada, which are so important. fn peace time trade, play an equal- ly important role In war, More White Beans Are Being Grown. Southwestern Ontarlo Crop in Excess of 71,000 Acrés White beans acreage In South- western Ontarlo is estimated to be "fn oxcess of T1 ,000 acres this year, ~"according to Norman D. Mackenzie, $nspector of the plants products di- vision of the Dominion department of agriculture. Estimated acreage "of beans in 1939 was 56,000 acree. It may be that final estimate will go to 72,000 acres. : WHERE NOT USUALLY GROWN, Much of the Increase has come ° $n areas where beans are not nor- mally grown. Satisfactory prices obtained: for most of last season's crop and a. feeling that war conditions will also éreato additional markets for the product are sald to be thé two main factors in unusual upward trend In plantings, : A Blisters On | On Paint Bi Due To Moisture Moisture is the direct cause of blisters on painted walls and ft ls ukeless to try to remove the Rlemish by applying more paint, ~ Moisture is entering the wa land "the painted surface is being soak- ed from the back, The only way : L Dyer this is to locate any a and close them, All locse nt around a blister should be moyed before repainting, This rato epl, showing United States Curtis dive bombers being wheeled' down a road upon landing at an airport on the Atlantic coast of Canada, after, being flown directly from across the border, was taken just before France signed the armistice, - With France as' their original destination, machines such as these will Plebubly be taken over by Great Britain, Modern -Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. What might be called the out- standing fault of a poor conversa- tlonalist? A, Inattentioh to what the other' person is saying. A poor conversa. tlonalist is usually so absorbed in what he is anxious to say, that he pays littlo attention to what his companion is talking about. Q.

What isthe -proper-time be- fore a wedding to send a gift? A. Ten days to two weeks. Q. When a woman has made a day's trip in a Pullman, and the * porter has been very attentive, just what would be a suitable tip? A. Twenty-five to fifty cents, Q. If a young man is taking a girl out to dinner, should he ask "her where she would like to eat? A. This Is not necessary. It 1s the man's priviledge to decide before- hand whero he is doing. Q. What should a man w gar at a very formal luncheon? A. Conventional day dress, His Death A Mystery Air Marshal Italo Balbo, once one of Benito Mussolini's closest friends and current governor of Libya, was killed in an air battle over Tobruk, Libya, it was an- nounced in Rome. Bilbo led a mass airplane flight from Italy to America in 1984. The manner of his death was seriously ques, tioned in other European capitals.

PUBLIC ENEMIES Avoidable accidents and illness- es are casualties which should le regarded as forms of fifth-coluan activity and our national health discipline must be stiffened against them, in the opinion of Dr. I. P. S. Cathcart, chief neuro- psychiatrist of the Department of Pensions and National Health, "Ottawa who has given much study to maintenance of wartime health. Dr. Cathcart also advocates a campaign against causes of in- digestion 'as a wartime contribu- . tion to national fitness, "An indigestible mother-in- Taw at table causes more digestive trouble than badly - cooked meal," he declares, and he brands as a mistake" the fast tempo at meal times news flashes, eating "on call". and all forms of unnecessary chatter and clatter of dishes. "Campaign vs. Indigestion The noted psychiatrist has bracketted preventable sickness, avoidable accidents and peptic ulcers as public enemies requiring special wartime health weasures, He declares that stock niust be taken of our way of living if Nazidom is to be defealed, and points to the fact that every un- _.mecessary accident, illnzss and up- set taking up hospital space and medical services, is an a'tack be- hind the lines of defence.

A-man who had met' a friend in the street, was boring him with a long-winded account of his dog's virtues, Suddenly a cat stalked majestically across the road. "Chase him!' cried the man to his dog. The dog yawned, looked on with a bored expression and did not attempt to move, Red of face, the owner con- tinued to urge him to chase the cat, but without any success, Fin- ally, in desperation, he turned to his friend and said: "There, what would you make of a dog like that?" "Sausages," murmured the oth- er gravely. -- Hubby: "What are you doing with my Encyclopedia Britannica?" Wife: "I'm something." Hubby: "Can't you use a ladder or a chair?"
