â- w>a«Bi Britain's Air Might Displayed For Dicfators \> X^ Althou-jh this picture was not made while the British planes were flying over France, it was snapped for the express purpose of phowing the planes and formations used. The planes are Wellington bombers of the very latest issue. On July 14th, during the French national celebrations, five squadrons of these bombers and fighters, flew to the southwest of France and back, on normal training Hights. Inasmuch as the distance was the same as it would be to leading industrial centres of Germany, the parade of England's air might became an impressive factor in the present Kuropcan game of "pow ev polities." The flights were concluded without the ulightest mishap. Have Â¥(^u Heard Civility costs nothing; it might even be a good investment, later en, and is a good insurance. This type of insurance was car- ried rather far by a man who al- ways made a low obeisance when- ever our Lord's name or Satan was oientioned during the church ser- vice. A new minister, struck by the oddity of this and anxious to correct him, inquired after the â- ervice why he bowed when the devil was mentioned. He immedi- ately replied: "Well, ye see, I be very, very old, and civility costs nothing," and after a pause, "and ye never know." Boi* (itormlng): "You're 6red!" TypUt: "Fired! I like thai. I though, they aold «lavet!" Possibly apocryphal, but good. In the remark said to have been iradc in India recently by Schacht, Acichsbank ex-chief. "What is it like being a Ger- man," they asked him, "aftm- Aus- tiia, after Czccho-Slovakia, after Memcl?" "It doesn't make much differ- ence," he said. 'It's like a man who's in jail for life and hears they've adiled a new wing., to the building." -••. â-  :-: .$â- ' Overheard on an Enyliih bu«: "I can't itand ihit 'ere Hitler. .

Beautiful Blue Danube Stream Will Soon Be Part Of 2,400 Mile Waterway Across Europe Tho Ilanube, destined lor increas- ing importance as part of a new 2,400milo waterway across Eur- opo, was brought into the news again by the recent meeting be- tween the Foreign ministers of Ru- mania and Yugoslavia, on a barge lu the stream. New German Canal This mighty highway ot com- merco from Soutliern Germany across the Balkans to the Black Sea also forms parts of three inter- national boundaries, between Slo- vakia and Hungary, Yugoslavia and Iluraania, and the latter country and Bulgaria, a bulletin ot the Na- tional Geographis Magazine recalls. Germany is constructing a canal which will connect the uPPer Dan- ube and the Main River in Bavaria, which in turn flows into the Rhine. Canal 'Will Link North Sea and Black Sea "Completion of the new water- way, scheduled for 1945, will make possible tho shipment of goods by water, without transfer, all the way across Europe, from the North Sea at the mouth of the Rhine to the Black Sea at the mouth of the Danube," the bulletin continuee.

What Science ^ IS Doing ^ QUANTITIES OF VITAMIN K In one of the greatest scientific feats ever recorded, four groups of chemists working Independently, reported simultaneously the syneth- eis of vitamin K, the new vitamin that stops Inernal bleeding. This means thousands of lives will be saved annually, for the syn- thesis makes the vitamin, which has been difficult to extract from natural substances, available in un- limited quantities. The vitamin previously was ex- tracted from alfalfa. The chemists made It from coal tar. The artificial vitamin has four times the jyjtency ot natural vitamin K. Hardly ever Ja a synthetic chemical so much better than the natural one. •FLU CLUE FOUND An editorial In the Journal of the American Medical Association announce<i recently that medical science is near success In Its great search for the origin ot great hu- man influenza epidemics. The search, the journal stated, has led to hogs and earthworms. The journal's editorial told ot re- search â€" with surprising results â€" done by Dr. R. E. Shope, of Rocke- feller Institute. Dr. Shope's obser- vations were so astounding that, it they are confirmed, much of the medical literature on virus diseases Such as poliomyelitis or Infantile paralysis "will have to be rewrit- ten," the journal said. ROLE OF WORM Dr. Shope concluded that earth- worms were "carriers" of swine in- fluenza virus. He found that earth- worms swallow the egg ot swine lungworms, that the larvae ot these parasites develop in the earthworm and re-enter hogs when they eat earthworms. This suggested the possibility ot a transformation of the virus in the lungworms or a complex life cycle in the earthworm, which the medi- cal Journal indicated might throw new light on the whole subject ot virus diseases. "I^ungworm larvae from pigs with swine Influenza harbor awlne Influenza virus throughout their de- velopment," Dr. Shope reported. He said the virus apparently lies lat- ent much ot the time. "Whether the swine lotlueoza Is an abberant type ot the human Id- fluenza Is still controversial," the journal commented. Tobacco Worm Control Growers of flue-cured tobacco in southwestern Ontario have been warned that the tobacco worm is likely to be plentiful this season, and are advised by the Dominion EptMBplogical l^lijratory at Chatnaffi, Ohl., that the lin^st suc'- ^jf ul coptrol BJjasure is to •pray with arsenate of Icau, three to Tour pounds in 40 gallons of water. A second appHration is occasionally riecc.<sary.

Hot Weather Health Habits A Few Suggestions To Add To Our Comfort When Mer- cury Hits High SCOUTING A letter from Mayor Ralph Day of Toronto to Mayor LaGuardia of New Y'ork inviting the latter to visit the Canadian National Ex- hibition in September was taken to New York by a group of 24 Scouts of the J 24th Toronto Timo- thy Eaton Memorial Church) Troop, on their way to the World's Fair. During their stay the Tor- onto Scouts were guests of Queen's liorough Council of the Boy Scouts of America. For the occasion they wore a special white shirt with their troop crest. Mayor Day was himself formerly a Scout of the 21st Toronto Troop. The entire 1st Braeebridge, Ont., Scout Troop were guests of the Bracebiidge Rotary Club at an evening dinner. Now that the hot weather Is here at last. It might be well for us to heed a few of the suggestions which the National Safety Council has issued for the care of our health during the torrid weather: Keep your body clean by fre- quent bathing. Wear light and loose clothing. Do not overeat, but do eat more vegetables and le«s meat. Drink lemonade, orangeade and other citrus fruit drinks. Keep your elimination habits regular. Do not use strong alcoholic drinks. Get plenty ot sleep and reel; avoid over-fatigue. Cool water is best for drinking. It a little table salt is added, in the proportion ot one level teaspoon ot salt to one gallon of water, it will assist in bodily elimination, and will replace the normal salts lost in perspiration. A fine new "land ship" head- quarters, the "Valiant," construct- ed by Sarnia Sea Scouts of two old boxcars secured from the Canadi- an National Railways, was "laun- ched" by a banquet to sponsoring members of the Sarnia Yacht Club. Tho banquet was served aboard "Valiant" by Sea Scout "sea cooks." Furnishings of the S.S.S. "Vali- ant" include the ship's bell of the old ferryboat "Pappoose," which operated between Windsor and Detroit in 1872. On thj fireplace mantel is a model lighthouse, with realistic "winker" light, placed there as a memorial to the late Dr. A. G Campbell, for a number of years skipper of the Sarnia Rover Sea Scouts. Another prized possession, within a glass frame above the fireplcce, U an ensign that flew on H.M.S. "Valiant" at the battle of Jutland, in which ship Sea Scoutmaster Charles Gray served as a signaller. Scouts of St. Mark's Troop of Port Hope, attired in firemen's raincoats and rubber boots, enjoy- ed a practical lesson in fire fight- ing and rescue work given by Fire Chief Record and a small crew of his men recently. An appeal to the Boy Scouts of the United States to help clean up "the real public enemies, the cor- rupt politicians," who he said were responsible or the army of nearly 5,000,000 criminals in the country, was made by J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, before a great grathering of Scouts at the New York World's Fair. "Every boy you teach to hate crime," he said, "is a victory for our side. Keep it clear in your minds that good politics is a great and bene- ficial thing, but that corrupt poli- tics is a criminal thing. There should be nothing but scorn and disgrace for anyone who betrays this greatest of vocations."
