Pharmacists Need Medicinal Plants Women who have been growing herbs for their oivn pleasure in recent years seem to have had a good hunch, says The Peoria, Ill, Journal Transeript. They may soon add to this the serious cultivation in their gardens of plants that are still. considered weeds, == There is a war-caused sliortage of drugs which has sent the ex- perts scouring woods and fields for foxglove, Jimsen weed, night- shade and poison hemlock, In various medicinal forms their jui« ces," dried leaves or roots are needed by the pharmacists of, the nation. The Federal governinent has been trying in a small interest farmers in cultivation of these plants, not only to increases the supply but to add a profitable crop in sections where soil and weather handicap - other agricul- ture. It is a part of the diversi- fied farming effort The brisk demand and good prices are likely to continue for some time, at any rate as long as war disrupts the normal sources of supply and in- creases the need. 10,000 Enemy Planes Kors Out Of Skies way to. Viscount Halifax "aid recently the Royal Air Force had "torn out of the skies 10,000 enemy planes' since the start of the war and that 80 per cent of all British war production is being sent out of Britain. Speaking at a dinner sponsored by Dallas civic organizations, the British ambassador to the United - States added that every British soldier for whom shipping space is available is being sent outside the British Isles to strategic battlegrounds around the world. He said that Britain constantly has on duty no less than G00 naval vessels, patrolling and fighting the Axis in all the wor I 8 waters, and declared: "Britain has never lost a war --except to the United States-- 80 with the United States and hitain fighting on the same side the eventral outcome ovght to be plain even to the most thick- headed German." Overseas Forces To Get Own Newspaper . Canada's soldiers, airmen and sailors overseas soon will have a weekly newspaper. of their own, packed with cabled items from Canada. "The Canadian Press News," a four-page tabloid print- ed in London, will be distributed free each week-end to every unit of the Canadian forces in Britain, The Canadan Press will exer- cise full "authority in the selection and presentation--of items used, Representatives of the govern- 'ment were as insistent on this. point as C. P. executives. The government will _pay the. cost of editorial work, cable tolls and printing. The C. P. will prepare the paper on a non-profit basis and will make no charge for its news. The news content--which will be solely Canadian--will be sel- ected by C. P. editors in Canada and cabled to London, where the paper will be printed. It will be distributed by the services. First issue is expected to appear early in May. Briefest Message When Lord Napier was con- ducting a campaign in British India against the natives of the State of Scinde, pronounced "Sin- ned," he sent a message from the field to England's War Office which perhaps has no counterpart for brevity. The message came, a single Latin word: it "Pececavi." ; Translated, it became: "I have sinned." And the War Office knew, with its tongue in its cheek, that Lord Napier had taken Seinde.

These gras- scs, of course, are the bamboos, says Science Service. W e of the Temperate regions - commonly. think of bamboo in terms of fish. poles, or at most of the slightly stouter vaulting poles used in track and field meets; but these are only the middle-sized members of the tribe. The giants are ot real tree size, and are as much entitlea to be called trees as the palms are. Bamboos might fairly compete with palms for the title of most useful plants. Like palms, they are 'used in a thousand ways by dwellers in the tropics .and sub- tropics, where they grow most luxuriantly. They supply housing materials, tools and weapsns and Bamboo-built - houses are common .in all the warm lands. The framework, walls and floors (if floors are considered neces- sary), are likely to be built of bamboo, whole or split, lashed together with tough natural ropes _ that are the stems of twining bamboo vines. There is likely to be a fence of. bamboo poles, to keep children, poultry and small livestock from straying, or per- haps cages of bamboo under the stilted house. Bamboo-shafted spears may serve for hunting and fishing; bamboo-handled tools for agri- culture; bamboo-fibre snares and nooses for trapping, The_ hard glassy edges of split -- bamboo sometimes serve as primitive knives. The big hollow joints of giant bamboo stems, cut off to suitable length, do very well for water pails, baskets for grain or other dry material, household con- tainers of all sorts so long as heating isn't required." In the Philippines, the music-loving nat- ives contrive whole bands out of bamboo instruments. Bamboo shoots, cut very young like asparagus, are a favorite Or- iental vegetable. And the seeds, borne in crops at intervals of several years, are rated "as the tastiest. of grain, Oxen Being Used To Replace Engine "Gee", "Haw" and "Whutt" are commands now being heard on roads and in fields as more and more farmers and lumbermen turn tothe faithful ox to take over tHe problems of transport now that the private motor ve. hicle is becoming a war casualty, Oxen were much used in the early days on_the south shore of Nova. Scotia_as a beast of burden ana survived here' and. there throtighs out the years, according to J, M. Nickerson, Canadian *' National Railways agent at Shelburne, N.S. In recent years they af- forded a tourist diversion when seen on the roads, but now the oxen have a practical use. Ola time farmers assert that oxen aro steadier with the piow in hilly fields. Didn't Know There Was A Canada A Nazi airman, captured on British soil, was truculently loyal to his master. When interrogated, this is all he ould say: 'The Fuehrer saved me from Poland , , . The Fuehrer saved me from France « + + the Fuehrer will save me from England." "He'd better be quick," re- marked the examining officer, "You're dft to Canada tomor- row." * "The Simple Life We used to think that the livery stable was gone forever. We are not sure about that any more, says The Trenton Courler-Advo- cate, If there are no tires until three years after the war, and the war lasts indefinitely, there may be livery stables, many livery stables, throughout the land. And harness makers, and advertise- ments in the papers for circingles and hame straps and breeching. family circle may know without asking that a martingale is not a song bird, but a wide strap that runs from a horse's belly-band be- tween its front legs to the neck- yoke. : And what about the blacksmith? We vision the blacksmith lugging his anvil and his bellows out of the corner behind the pile of un- saleable auto parts. We vision him gathering up his hammers and his long-handled. tongs und his sledge and his clinching iron, and putting in an order. for some horse- shoe nails and some angle iron. And the garage sign over his front _door will come down and there will be another to take its place, a . "horse-shoelng" is his specialty. And the children will come to the smithie's door, just as their dads used to come in the days of yore; and the sparks will fly as busy hands turn out the things that time demands; and the smithie, too busy to talk of strife, will lead us back to the simple lite. NAZIS GIVE HIM KEY PARIS POST \g" Prince Josias of Waldeck and Pyrmont, above, commander of the Nazi Elite Guard Corps, has reportedly been named new high commissioner of police in occu- pied Francd and sent to Paris with. orders to crush anti-German groups in France and Belgium, Science "In the hands of evil men sci- ence is being used to destroy all that is good in order to dominate and enslave."--Rt, Hon, Anthony.

Rain A: And Oy: Oysters Though they spend their. lives on. the bottom of the sea, well protected from rain, oysters grow plump in rainy seasons, lean in droughts, so claimed the New Jersey Agricultural Experimental Station last week.
