nS CR = Cote ph / a psn 'Making Woolen Garments Last Some Advice On Care and Protection of Woolen Clothes What with the increased needs of the expanding armed forces, wool is apparently on its way out of the civilian scene, says The New York Times. When: existing stocks of woolen cloth are ex- hausted, it is likely that "woolen" fabries will consist of reprocessed wool and mixtures of wgbl with other yarns. / This year's Winter coat can be, like -new, of the Econ- kept looking almost however, if the advice Federal Bureau of Home / omics is followed, This instance where keeping up ap- pearances means economy. The coat, experts say, should be brush- ed thoroughly after each wearing in order to remove dust and dirt from the surface before it has a chance to be ground into the ma- terial. If you have a spare, let each coat hang a day or two , between weavings. This permits the wool fibres spring back into place. E J v * . to This would seem to be a good year for doing everything possible fo outwit the clothes moths, Hang- ing garments in the sun is stand- ard procedure, since sun kills moths and the unpleasant off- spring. It is important to re- member to. take clothing off the hangers and to brush under coat . collars and to turn packets inside out. Moths lurk in those spots as if they knew the sun could not reach them there. Airing and sunning are as uscful all year as in the Spring, since moths may always be in a heated house. 3 . . The safest thing to do, before packing winter garments away, is to have them dry cleaned. Spray- mg the surfaces or tucking moth balls into, pockets are steps to- © ward "protecting clothes, but the eprays evaporate quickly, and nuths seem to think the balls are there for them to play with. The only really sure method, says a member of the Dry Cleaners As- sociation, is to have the garment cicaned, then. immediately sealed into a mothproof bag. You know then that no moths have gone into the bag, and that none can get in, . But it does little good to hang clothing in moth bags if garments are taken out and worn and put back again. Once a garment is worn, it is no longer possible to know whether it is still mothless or not, and moths have no hesi- tancy abolt crashing an unsealed bag. 3 'Norse Posie On ~ Verge Of Famine Requisition Most Eggs and Milk Germans Fats, The Moscow radio quoted a Swedish newspaper in saying that Norway was on the verge of famine.

The last trainload of troops had pulled in 24 honxs ago and all men were now aboard. Endless thousands of small arm ammunition boxes had been stored in the holds. Shore leave passes had been refused, All was in readiness to sail. Strange, thought Lieutenant Rollins, he had been terribly im- patient about sailing until a few hours previously, The long monthy of rigorous camp training follow- ed by a hectic embarkation leave in Montreal had climaxed in his unit's allocation to this former Polish luxury liner, now known simply as "FT 9." That was three days ago and the letdown after all the activity and excitement had been terrific, But things were definitely picking up. The reason was a blond, certainly not more "than 24, slightly taller than aver- age, but eminently suitable for a six-foot officet. ' Lieutenant Rollins found him. self grinning in the darkness. The girl was evidently of the serious- minded type, but that dimple in her left cheek held interesting lle had noticed it when she was only half-way up the gangplank, and he was trying to make out the color of her eyes when che had looked at him squarely. . He had promptly raised a gloved hand to his service cap in an in- formal salute and added a wide smile for good measure. She gave him a short fleéting smile in re. turn but it was a somewhat dis- interested one, She stepped briskly from the gangplahk and onto *"B"" deck then marched along with the others to the stairway leading up to "A" deck. Licutenant Rollins' cyes followed her. She was un- doubtedly the prettiest of the 47 nursing sisters bound for a Cana- dian hospital in England. The amazing thing about it all was he knew he had met that girl: some- where before. It was quite un- thinkable, though, that die ap- = proach her, bow deeply, and say: "Pardon me, Sister, but haven't we met somewhere?' = 7 She would speak to him, of course. Would tell him a few casual facts about herself, He would name a féw places he had- been, She might suggest a few also. 'Then, in an awkward sort of way, he'd be forced to shrug, laugh lightly and give up. That would never do. He would bring up the previous meeting only after they were on cozy terms "Lieutenant Rollins, sir?' The young officer came out of" his reverie with a start. He turn. ed to find a sentry at salute, "Yes, I'm Mr, Rollins." "The 0. C. Troops would like you to come to his quarters im- mediately, sir." Licutenant Rollins felt his way through the darkness to the near- est entrance. He found the door handle and tugged it open to meet even inkier darkness. He reached forward and pushed aside the "heavy curtain so placed to pre veht light from showing when the door was opened, -- For-a moment he blinked into the corridor lights, then quickly strode down to the suite at the far end. Over it hung a sign, "0. C. Troops." He knocked twice, "Come in!" Sil Colonel L, S. Stephenson, M..C., was scated before a desk. He looked absently al tlic young offi- © cer for A moment, "Oh yes, Lieutenant, I merely wanted to point out that it is after midnight _ and. unless -I--am- mis- taken there are sounds generally associated with singing coming from the direction of the bar. As orderly officer," he paused sug- gestively, "I must ask you to at- tend to the matter immediately, "Your will be held accountable - for an infraction of lightg-out regulations during your period on duty tonight and, by the way, I also have an underlined order to the effect that orderly officers- .are to report any unusual' ineid- ent, no matter how slight, that. comes within their notice or the Notice of the sentrics." | .

It was about 12.30 when he en- tered the orderly room on the aft deck, He examined the orders for the next day and grinped widely, Lieutenant Harry Miley was hooked as orderly officer and, judging from his exuberation when the bar closed, it would be a painful session, Suddenly, he and the" sergeant working at the desk looked up at one another, They had both heard the noise--a low but un- niistakable running through the ships The sergeant jumped to his feet. . i "It's the engines, sir, We must be on our way!" ; The lieutenant sh-h-hed him, "Take it easy, sergeant.

For. a few seconds the whole deck scemed to be immeysed in one big, 'black shadow. Then things took shape. He could make out the deck chairs stacked against the wall a few feet up. Beyond that there was a large emergency raft. In frent of the raft . . . Did that shadow move?

Reason Given For Sugar Ra. tioning by Sarnia Canadian- Observer -- . Canada understands that the government's call for voluntary rationing of sugar is a wartime 'measure but it is not generally understood why it is a wartime measure, Sugar is not being ra tioned here and in the United States, simply because of a short- age in the sugar cane crop. The real reason for the rationing is that sugar cane can produce either sugar molasses or edible sugar, that is the kind of sugar used In tea and "coffee. If too-much of the cane is used for edible, or eating sugar, then there is not so much available for sugar molasses. Both sugar molasses and edible sugar. come from the sante raw 'material sourée. * * * Now why this concern about the supply of sugar molasses? For the reason that the major source of ethyl alcohol is sugar And ethyl alcohol is required for munitions of war. and for thous- ands of chemicals used in war pro. duction, Fortune Magazine, which made. a survey of the, sugar situa- tion in the United States,-declares that "today's wars are fought lit- erally with sugar." Every time a 16-inch gun js fired, a fifth of an acre of sugar cane jg consumed "in the form of ethyl alcohol, and it will be remembered that ethyl alcohol comes, largely, from sugar molasses. Then, too, sugar fis encigy- for war workers and for fighting men, High test molasses is made di. rectly from sugar cane. [ts high sugar content, 78 per cent, makes a gallon go "hall again as far" fn making alcohol as does ordinary blackstirap molasses whichis a by-- product of sugar refining. * * - x7 Because of the demands of the war, it Is estimated 'that the United States' faces what is des cribed as a sugar shortage of from 500,000 to 1,000,000 tons. These de- mands arise from. the tremendovsy increased call for ethyl alcohol. Europe has striven to make itself sclf-sufiicient In' industrial alco- hol. It is made from potatoes 'and grains and to sone' extent Lon beets, Japan produced nearly enough sugar in Formosa, says this magazine, for her No doubt her drive in the South. west Pacific has as an objective the obtaining of sugar cane as . molasses, requirements. well as rubber and oil. Hence, when a Canadian Is re: fraining from the use of sugar, to a degree, he is not simply dieting or even merely being -self-sacrific: ing so that the fighting men can have plenty of sugar for their tea. He is giving up sugar so that ethyl alcohol may he made and so that 16-inch guns and other guns may be fired at tho Axis.
