WHAT SCIENCE IS JOING Welded Aircraft A new welded stainless steel •argo plane, the Conestoga, is in lull production at the Edward G. Budd Manufacturing Company plant, Philadelphia. The two-engine, 68-foot aircraft â- with an upsweep after-body giving h the appearance of a flying whale, is the first plane in which welded •tainless steel has been used to a large extent, the navy said. Doors on opposite sides of the fnselage permit launching of para- troops and supplies simultaneously from both sides in contrast to con- â-¼â€¢ntional one-door transports. The cargo compartment. 2S feet long, eight feet wide and eight feet high, is made possible by a aaiqve maniicr of attaching the wing to the fuselage without pass- lag the wing thiough the fuselage -fa the customary fashion. The floor of the cargo compart- â- Knt remains level both on the ground and in flight as the plane is •tjuipped with a tricycle landing (ear. The ship is capable of carrying 10,400 pounds over a range of 850 miles, but its maximum range can be increased to 3.500 miles with auxiliary fuel tai^ks. Two TlO-horsepower engines give it a cruising speed of 165 miles vn hour. Total weight fully loaded II 33,800 pounds. -The Conestoga can be convert- ed to troop transport or ambulance use, and an ambulance and jeep both can be carried inside. t Answer To Alcohol Shortage: Poison Gas ' Those thirsty folks who wonder how the war effort can absorb practically the whole distilling capacity of this continent were given an answer by a War Produc- tion Board head who hart appeared before a U. S. Senate committee, •lates the Winnipeg Free Press. The main answer, he said, was "poison gas." This does not mean Ibat the United Nations propose to initiate the use of this dreadful weapon of war, but Dr. W. G. Whitman of WPB made it amply clear that, if the Axis starts using it we will immediately follow suit, and that we do not propose to be caught on a "too little and too late" --*»asis. Alcohol is a principal ingre- .'> \ rfient of poison gases. It is also ,, used for explosives and other war â- ' purposes, but poison gas stock piles are what are chiefly in mind iV X'H'â„¢ *' '''* distillers keep on turn- iAp out industrial alcohol. nil |||W bleeding and ^11 r^ protruding , â-  â- ^â- ^â- ^^ piles should ...

How can a host or hostess di- vert a guest without seeming rude if he seems determined to monopo- lize the conversation? 2. If a man stops to talk for a minute with a girl whom he meets on the street, should he t'jrn his back when leaving her? 3. On which side of the plate should the spoons be placed on the dinner table? 4. Is it permissible for a bride to have her mother acknowledge the wedding gifts? 5. Is it permissible for a host or hostess to specify the length of time covered by an imitation for a visit? 6. Is it correct to have one's ini- tials on a visiting card? ANSWERS ' 1. At the very fir^t pause ask some other guest if he won't re- late some interesting incident or •xperience. 2. He should wait for the girl to turn first, before he turns to walk away 3. On the right side of the plate. 4. No; personal notes should be written by the bride. They may be brief and should be sincere and express genuine appre- ciation for the gift. 5. Yes, and it will often prevent misunderstand- ings and embarrassment. 8. The faultlessly correct card bears the full name. Mustard Gas A boy of 16 found a tin con- tainer on sand dunes on the South Wales coast. His younger sister opened it up and played with the contents. It held mustard gas in liquid form for use at anti-gas classes. The child diej from severe burns. Her father and mother, bro- ther, aiTother sister, and six neigh- bors who came into contact with the liquid suffered burns. The whole district had to he decontam- inated. OTTAWA_BEPORTS That Dominion Reconstruction Committee Advocates Standard Of Farm Homes Be Raised Soviet Russia was the first coun- try to train parachutists. The farm home, long overlooked in community planning, comes in for consideration in the report of the Dominion Reconstruction Com- mittee appointed by the Govern- ment at Ottawa. The building of 94,000 farm dwellings in the first ten years af- ter the war is recommended by the subcommittee on Housing and Community Pl.nnning. In the same period the subcommittee's report urges repair of ISS.OOO farm home.'. It also advocates new homes for those now sharinr their homes with other families, and provision of cottages for farm laborers. Two out of every five f.Trm dwellings in Canada are in need of repairs to foundations, walls, roof':, chimneys, windows or doors, the report of ' the subcommittee ad- vises. Four out of five have no electricity. In every lOO. 93 lack bathing facilities or flush toilet?. Examining this report. Frank Shefrin, a Dominion Department of .^griculutre economist. com- ments, "For the first time we have a report on housing and commu- nity planning which deals not only with the shelter of urban dwellers but makes specific recommenda- tions. . . to raise substantially the standard of farm housing." * * * Cheddar cheese production in May was approximately 20 million lbs., or a little over 34''c above that of May, 1943. It is the highest re- corded production since monthly records were first compiled in 1936. * • * «. There is no need for July or .^u.gust chicks this year. Dominion egg and poultry exocrts advise. With the substantial increase in early sales. greater numbers hatched, and a good growing sea- son, there are ample potential sup- plies of eggs and poultry in sight to supply all anticipated require- ments. « • • Maximum prices for sales of to- matoes, corn, beans and tomato juice produced hy home canners are set in a Prices Board order. Several thousand home canners, most of them in Quebec, are affec- ted by the order which establishes uniform prices for all sections of Canada in line w^ith the "ceiling" for industrial canners. The new regulations apply to all canners with an output of less than 10.000 lbs. * « * Canada's merchandise export trade reached record proportions In May. the value being .$368.3.57.- 000. This was an excess of $64,700.- 000 over the previous monthly re- cord established last July, Among the leading commodities exported were w-heat and wheat flour; seeds, fishery products: eggs and meats: planks and boards: wood pulp, newsprint paper: motor vehicles and parts: chemicals, cartridges and shells: guns, rifles and fire- arms. The United Kingdom re- ceived goods to the value of $140,- 249.000. and the United States. $131,86.-..0OO. Other leading count- ries to which shipments were made included Italy. British India. Rus- sia, Egypt, .\ustralia. Newfound- land, French possessions, Switzer- land. Eire. Iraq. Brazil, British South .A.frica and Britisli West .\frica. MONTY LOOKS OVER A JOB WELL DONE Have You Heard! "Why do they call it a dental firlor?" "Parlor is another name for drawing-room." Having a rather long and start- ling message to send home and just enough funds to pay for a 10-word telegram, ti;r man wrote as fol- 1CW.J : "Bruises hitrt eraseil a Ford erected analysis hurt infectious dead." Here's what he meant: "Brucc is hurt, he raced a Ford, he wrecked it. and .Mice is hurt, in fact s'-e's dead. " The new recruit was late for parade. "Well, it's so nice to see you. :;oldier," said thi ser- geant with a snarl. "We so feared you had signed a separate peace." â€" Paddy ran every year in the vil- lage sports, but. unfortunately, he never wen. Perseverance was re- warded and last year he was suc- cessful. "Congratulations, Paddy," said a friend. "Thanks." said Paddy. "I am first at la't. I was always behind before." "I hear you and your wife fcad a few words." "And I still have mine. I never had a chance to lise them." Clad in his famous sweater and beret, Gen. Bernard L. Montgo.-ncry and -.taff officers inspect one cf the first Normandy ports captured by Aiiied nvasion forces. MACDONALD*5 I:I:1M: dSs^uu^c^ i%fi^ic^aWi>#a^ Even The Lowly Cattail Goes To War It seems like a far cry from the common cattail of the marshlands to life preservers and sleeping bags, but recent events have found a commercial cutlet for the hitherto useless cattail, says the Calgary Herald. The round, sausage- shaped fruiting heads cf the plant are comp.ict masses of seeds, bear- ing hair-like appendages fay which the seeds are wafted-ahcut in the wind. These threads are hollow, light and fluffy â€" an excellent material for buoyancy nd insula- tion. Hence, their value for life pre- servers! Why no: also for sleeping bags? Now the cattail harvest is a thriving business in many mar- shes, and a new plant industry has been born. An antelope has been timed to run at a «reed cf fifty miles an hour. Airminded .^ir-minded and eight years of age, little Jim was perhaps a trifle scandalized. The Manchester Guardian relates.
