Jennlson of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology has been investigating th* "velocity of sneezes," reports Th* Halifax Herald. The profesor used a camera in his research work, and his findings, Just published, are worthy of note. In a "good, full-bodied sneeze" thousands of particles, he assure* us, leave the mouth in much the same manner aa pellets leave the muzzle of a shotgun, with a vel- ocity of 150 feet a second. The moisture of them quickly evapor- ates, and the germ-laden particles are left wandering about in the air looking for somebody to in.'ect. v SOY-BEAN HELMETS The Soybean Products Labor- atory of the Department of Agri- culture and the cotton specialists of the Southern Re-gional Research Laboratory have jointly developed a plastic helmet out of heavy otton cloth and soybeans.

Christmas Boxes For War Prisoners As early as August, 72,000 Christmas boxes began their trek from the Red Cross packing cen- tre in London to Britain's 70,000 men in the prison camps of Ger- many, British Industries Bulletin relates. The extra 2,000 parcels are an insurance that everybody gets one. The first lap was to Lisbon; the next to Marseilles; then on to Geneva, and so to Germany. In each box was a Christir.as pudding, a double ration of choco- late, chocolate biscuits, rye bis- uits, jam, margarine, roast pork nd stuffing, a tin of steak at i tomato, condensed milk, four ounces of sugar, two ounces of tea and a Christmas cake. Also, 7,200,000 cigarets went off at tte same time in separate packages f 100 a double' ration for eaoii man. The value of this Christ- mas gift is 36,000.

Scottish Battalions, Bagpipe* nd All, Take Part In Libya Fight While regimental anonymity U still observed with regard to the Battle of Libya, It U learned In- directly tr>at there are Highland- ers in the fray. As a matter of (act there have been Scottlsu battal- ions Ip all the North Africa cam- paigns down as tar aa Ethiopia. It ia in thU great struggle In Libya, however, that the presence of the Scots haa become known through Incidental reference . to the Dag- pipes. A despatch fern Cairo In the mid- dle of last week stated Uiat be- tween lulls In the gunfire, the sound of the bagpipes could be heard puttln^ fresh heart into taeir comrades. A later despatch told of the joy with which a Highland regiment heard tae skirl of the pipes coming from up in front. That waa a pre-arranged signal that a certain point had been cap- tared. Colors In Action In olden days bands used to play the regiments into action. The colora at the regiment were carried Into the fight too, and th. music and the colors were great source* of inspiration. When theee customs were abolished, the bandsmen eith- er went Into action, too, or acted as stretcher-bearers. It seems, however, that ice Scots' pipers go Into action still, to Inspire and encourage their com- raoee. Scots are stirred by the story of the capture of the height* at Dargal during the Chltra cam- paign in northwest India, In 1397, the hero o/ which Plpr James rtndlater of the Gordon Highland- era, is still living, and visited rela- tives in Canada a few years ago. Twice, tnglUi regiments had at- tempted to storm th heights, but were driven back by a withering Are. Then Colonel Mathlas rods C u> his msn and said: "The gen- eral says that hill must be taken. The Gordons wi!l take it." ; - Piper Flndlater waa shot going up tke Bill. *t propping b.'mself against a boulder he played "The Cock e' the North," and thus Inspir- ed, th Gordons took the hill. Find- later waa awarded ths Victoria Pipes Give Warning Frobablj Scottish men ai -o- aaen have a sharp sar for ths sound of tfce pipes. When the Brit- 1st garrison of 10, together with fw civilians, were besieged in Lucknow for four months, they nad Almost given up hope and were re- signed to massacre when the wif of one of the Scottish sc'..;ier suddenly leaped to her feet and erled: "Dinna ye hear them, 'li^of ye hear them? The Highlands are comin'." Nobody eice did but in a few minutes ths pipes were plain.y heard and a column of Highland- ers soon arrived causing th Sepoyg to flee. Perhaps there 1s no sound the Italians and Germans more oread to hear on the field than the bag- pipes. It warns them that not only the Campbells are comin' but * the reel of the Scotties. One-wheelers Ths C. 0. of a regiment in the Middle East was puzzled when he received notification to maKe ar- rangements for the arrival of: "Carriers, general utility, one- wheeled, sixty." He thought it must be a n\v type of small whippet tank and made the* necessary parking ar- rangements. Eventually he received sixty wheelbarrows. GERMAN HOWITZERS IN RUSSIAN HANDS Soviet artillerymen examining Gerrnan Howitzers captured hi recent fighting. Except for missing parts of the breech block, tha nearer gun appears :o be in good condition. Hitler Treats Friend And Enemy Alike It U not only in the invaded and occupied countries that ths Nazis are hated. For tome time now the Italians have been be- coming increasingly restive since they are finding by bitter experi- ence that as Hitler's jackal they fst remarkably few tit-bita. A most interesting articls recently appeared in an English newspaper by an Englishman who haa lived in Italy for many years and who was very recently a prisoner In Tuscany. The writer says that Italy is subjected by the Nazis to almost as much indignity as a conquered country. There la Ger- man contro! on al! railway sta- tions, German supervision In sev- eral centres, and the Italian sec- ret police takes second piacs to the Gestapo. Food is exceedingly scarce; tile Italians have had no butter since they entered the war, and they have meat only once a week. The main reason for this is that ths Germans have annexed most of their produces such as oil, fat, oranges and lemons. Hit- ler adopts his "bleeding white" policy towards his friends as we!! as towards his enemies. 1941 Farm Income Higher Than 1940 Increase of 46' 2 Million and Trend Is Greater tc Mixed Production Tie prairie trend to mixed farm- ing wag exemplified In figures of the Dominion Bureau of StatUJcs **w.^:~;r th;: farm income for ths Irs; nine months of 1941 was sub- stantially higher than for 'he same period in 1940. Live Stock Increases The Increase In value of live- stock, and livestock products sur- passed that of field crops, al- thoug'i increased returns from tooth categories were reported. Cash income Jrom prairie farm products tales was placed at $255,- 859,000 for the nine months tils year compared with |*flS,5.S,dtlC In the same period in 1940 The value of field crops advanc- ed to 1141.036,000 from J122.942,- 000 in 1940. while the value in livestock and livestock products rose to $114,303.00. from JS3.646,- 000.

Saga of the Sea The perils of the sea are not reserved to the menaces ef tor. pedoes and mines says the 11 ener Record. The old sea with its hurricanes, its pounding waves and its typhoons is stiil the same elemental terror that chal.enircd mariners ince Viking days. Of recent date is the story of Canadian three-master schoonei from Lunenberg caught in t-.vo iurricanes and breached. Her men were reduced to starvation wrten a. amall freighter hove in s : <ht and took on the uespairing crew. Salt water permeated the v-ij- sel and spoiled the food. The oien caught water in reservoirs de- signed to hold the rain. This A at all they had to drink: The -kip- per had a new dress shirt and he converted the pins in it to lish aooks and the men caught small fish over the rail o the stajrt^r- ing ship. This is just another saga of ths sea that has no U-boat- or lurking mine in the back (pound. It is the peril mariners havd brav. ed through the ages, and it is the sort of thing that has made men of mariners who now keep open, the life lanes of the Empire, op- erating the merchant marine in spite of the hazard of stor war. British Ships Carry New S.O.S. Signals A column of rejiiish-orange smoke rose over the ocean, nearly 30 miles away.
