Antwere 1. Don't embarrass the per- son by saying, "Why, I met you at such and such a place." Mere- ly say, "How do you do?" Nor hould you feel hurt or slighted and accuse the person of being a snob.

I A D L E R I K A AT YOUR DRUG STORE What Science Is Doing THE "SULFA" FAMILY RAT CURB Keeping rats away from stored grain with a "skunky" smell that makes them afraid, is the feat accomplished by two chemist*, Leonard A. Ford of the Minne- sota State Teachers' College and Donald F. Clausen of the Hub- bard Milling Company, says The Toronto Telegram. The two chemists were con- fronted with the problem of keeping rats away from stored grain in sacks. They knew that rats fear skunks and ferrets and will leave the premises these predatory animals inhabit. They knew also the chemical basis of the strong musky odor of these two animals. It La a compound called n-butyl mercap- tan. So they tried it out, first on the food of caged white rat*. The rats refused the food, be- came restless and excited, and even fought each other. They would not touch the food until the odor had disappeared. Then a search was mado for a substance which would hold the odor for thg longest possible time. Best out of a considerable list proved to be honey, which retained the scent up to six months, well in excess of the time usually spent in storage by grain and commercial feedstuffs. The only rats with noses so tough that they were not consist- ently repelled by the n-butyl mercaptan were those on a city dump. The experimnters conjec- ture that these animals had be- come so used to the mercaptan* produced by the natural fermen- tation of garbage that the syn- thetic scent had relatively little effect on them.

Hia friends rushed to his house to congratulate him. They found him with a long face and evident- ly dissatisfied. "Why, what's the matter?" they inquired. "Well, answered the new own- er of the car, "it's that second ticket that's troubling me. Why I ever bought it I can't think."

Italians In Africa Beaten By Siege One of the last pockets of Ital- ian resistance in Kast Africa has been eliminated by the surrender of the 4,000-man Fascist force at Uolchefit, in the mountainous Gomlur region of Ethiopia. The Italians acknowledged that this force, under siege for 164 days, laid down its arms after running out of food and supplies. This surrender, the War Office in England said, left only between 9,000 and 10,000 Italian and na- tive troops resisting in the Gon- dar region.

A flying Journey of more than 2,000 miles in British Columbia, the Yukon and Alberta showed that the chain of airports built In the northland to Alaska now Is ready for use, although not completed. Radio range stations have been Installed at most of the fields and all will be so equipped this year. Airmen will be able to travel Into the Par North assisted by service* as complete as those on long-estab- lished air line*. Newly-constructed runways are already being used by large machines, both Canadian and American. The fields were built by the Transport Department under ar- rangement with National Defence Departments which had consulted with United States authorities American airmen may travel this route to Alaska defence outposU free from the fog which often hampers flying along the coast. A modern transport machine can leave New York and fly to White- horse, Y. T., or Fairbanks, Alaska, landing only on fields where run- ways are good and of sufficient length. At present, the only inconven- ience the pilot feels Is that radio range stations are not all com- pleted. Cost of the seven fields and equipment was estimated at J~>,- 000,000.
