Dr. Chases Ointment for Choiinq Skin Irritations Eczema WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Pure Water? Because water is the universal •olvent, really pure water is never iound in nature, comments the tiskatchewan Farmer. To some extent it dissolves jverything, even lolid rock, glass, •r gold. As it flows through rock ttrata it picks up a little of every- thing it touches. It dissolves car- bon dioxide, producing naturally carbonated water. When it dissolves natural gas in the ground, there is the amazing phenomenon of water giving off in- flammable bubbles. This solvent action of water poses staggering problems for industry. As little as one part of iron in two million parts of water can wreck a textile mill by staining cloth. Traces of minerals upset the delicate chemistry of rayon mak- ing. Boiler scale, formed of the minerals left behind by hard wa- ter, is a costly hazard in power plants. Water hardness poses the biggest problems encountered by industry and householders alike. Hardness is governed by the quantity of cal- cium and magnesium compounds dissolved in water. Less than one grain (about one seven-thousandth of a pound) of these compounds per gallon makes water objectionably hard for cer- tain industrial uses.

Straw is manufactured into strawboard which, in turn, is used in the manufacture of corrugated shipping containers so largely used by the Department of Munitions and Supply for shipments overseas and also for packaging necessary civilian food and clothing. *^^ Vc^ WHY HAVE FEET?

THE WAR • WEEK â€" Commentary on Current Events Nazis Are Planning Long-Range Conspiracy Against The World ISSUE 3Sâ€" 18M It might be said that this became a Thirty Years' War with the ad- vent of August. Wc wish that it might be said with historical fin- ality^ â€" for that would mean an end in 1944 ot the world ccuiflict which began on .\ugust 1, 1914, was nitcr- rupted by the .'\rmisfice of 1918, and was resumed on a larger scale September 3, 1939. We are inclined to be skeptical, however, about civi- lization's chances of getting off with a mere Thirty Years' War. True, the Germans may get another armistice before the end of 1944; but all the signs point to German determination to make this a brief- er armistice than its predecessor â€" and to make the third phase ot this Thirty Years' War a more violent and destructive thrust for wwld domination than the phases which we know as the First and Second World Wars, says The Buffalo Courier~E::press. * ♦ • Plans for Next War To illustrate: RiKlit years ago, Henry C. Wolfe, American writer (who called the turn on the Hitler- Stalin pact, in the face of general skepticism), sat with lirich Koch, gaulciter of East Prussia, in the latter's office in Koenigsberg. Here is what Koch said, according to Wolfe's article, "German Plans for the Next W'ar" in the August American Mercury: "We shall beat you by tint means or another. We are at war with your bourgeois civilization. The methods we use will be dictated by circumstances. At times we may fight you on the battlefield: at other times it will be a war of ideas. We may suffer defeats; you may win victories. Or at least you will think you have won. But our will is stronger than yours. And in the end we shall smash you!" Now that the Russians are tear- ing into East Prussia, Gauleiter Koch's words sound like empty boastsâ€" but were they? Wolfe ap- parently doesn't think so. Economy of Europe Scrambled ".\s part of their long-range con- spiracy against the democratic world," says Mr. Wolfe, "the Nazis have scrambled the economy of Europe entirely." They have des- troyed the accumulated capital and business sIrVictures of the Occupied countries. They arc employing the scorched earth policy aimed at leaving the evacuated lands so im|)overished as to postpone and perhaps to prevent economic re- covery entirely. Their depopulation policy which employs every rnfli- less method of decreasing the birth rate and destroying cstalilishcd populations â€" by starvation and the uprooting of millions of people and settling them far from their native land.s â€" is calculated to leave a de- bilitated generation in the rest of Europe faring a healthy and vigor- ous German generation, he warns. "Once the war is over," writes Mr. W'olfc, "the Nazis reason that jobless millions will be demanding employment, and the Germans will be ready to step in and say: "We have the plans. Not all our machin- ery was destroyed by bombs. Give us the manpower and the raw materials and we shall produce for the world markets. That will mean employment and finished goods for all. We'll all prosper by this ar- rangement." To Offer Dynamic Leadership The Naiis, reports Mr. Wolfe, expect to finance their post-defeat activities with money and other assets hidden in neutial countries. They bank on our (allure to cop« with gigantic debts, taxes, infla- tion, unemployment, economic stag- nation, and class conflicts. They expect rivalries within the ranks of the United Nations to make world economic recovery practic- ally impossible. Then when the masses find that there is no hope from the victors, the Nazis believe they will turn to the "dynamic leadership" offered by the Ger- mans. This arrangement would ensure a highly industrialized Reich surrounded by dependent agrarian neighbors. In effect, Ger- many would be pretty well set for the Third World War or lor the tliird phase of the Thirty (or more) Years' War. Nazi V-2 Weapon: 10-Ton 'Rockets' An Allied commentator said re- cently that German talk of using 10-fon explosive rockets against England, in the manner of the ro- bot bombs, may not be sheer pro- paganda talk. He pointed to attacks by RAF Lancastcrs on possible V-2 (rock- et) sites with 12,000-pound "quake- makers." A new rocket is reported from certain unauthenticated sources in- side France to weigh about 90 tons at launching. Its si/c is said to di- minish as fuel is c:, ndcd in flight through the strato-iihcre and the 10-ton war-head is designed as the part of this monster weapon to reach its destination. The commentator said V-2 might be highly inaccurate or might fizzle out in flight, but that there should be no wishful thinking.

Worth trylngl ^lYDIAI.PHIKHAM'Sag!i8S^ We Must Stem Tide Of Hysteria And Ignorance Except for a few radical intel- lectuals, no one in Canada really wants socialism, J. M. Macdonnell, former head of the National Trust, argued before the London Rotary Club last week. Other irien turned to that party, he said, "only be- cause they distrust the business community â€" what it has done and what it can do." Bluntly Mr. Mac- donnell stated: "That's the simple, unpleasant fact. They distrust us and regard us as selfish and in- competent." That distrust, Mr. Macdonnell, attributes to the CCF's constant campaign of fear â€" an unfounded and ridiculous fear that the war must necessarily be followed by vast unemployment. While some may think that Mr. Macdonnel is too sweeping in his declaration that business is so widely distrusted, most of us will" agree wtih the remedy he suggests, •ays The Financial Post. Mr. Mac- donnel says: "Thats the way we are being pictured. The task is clear. We have to convince mien like that that capitalism is not for the benefit of the few, that wages, jobs must come first, and that taxation can guard against undue profits. We have to convince them thai under our system while there will ))c full opportunity for those with 'energy and the creative instinct â€" the Edisons large and small â€" to con- tinue adding to the nation's wealth as in the past, there will also be adequate safeguards against exploit- ation so that there will be justice Easy to roll, delightful â€" to smoke FINE CUT CICARElTE TOBACCO and a square deal for all, including work on fair terms; and finally, an assurance that the claims of the •weak and the unfortunate will not be forgotten. ... If we make clear that in peace as well as in war we have a sense of public respon- aibility, then we will be able to •tern the tide of ignorance and hyateria."
