Hcre'i What the Allied Armies Are Up Agaiiut On the Western Front Allied troops continue to gain against German advance posts on the Western Front, without regard for chang- ing situation in the Ease. Pi-ogress, however, is increas ingly difficult. This map shows why. The Nazi West- wall is fomposed of a 10 to 25-mile series of steel-and- concrete forts. Their guns cover overlapping semi- circular zones ot fire, so loss of one fort does not give an open road to the enemy. Between forts are mine fields, barbed wire entanglements, machine-gun pillboxes, concrete trenches, blockhouses. TRANSFUSIONS IN TRENCHES A new kind of blood transfusion â- which can be given by untrained «tre< cher-bearerb in, a front-line •trench is announced. * Heretofore Wood transfusions have been given only after blood had been typed, a donor chosen, and a complete operating team as- sembled. Now blood plasma which Jias had the red blood cells shak- ?r. out of it can be administered by anyone to anyone regardless .£ the blood type. CANCER, DEFICIENCY DISEASE? Further investigation of cancer from the angle that it may be a •"deficiency disease" is reported on in the current number of the Ca- nadian Medcia! Association Jour- nal. The investigation is being •canied on by Dr. J. R. Davidson â- of Winnipeg. â€" oâ€" - CYCLIC I- ACTOR IN DIPHTHERIA There is a cyclic factor atlect- ing diphtheria which causes the -disease to be somewhat more pre- valent at intervals of about si.x and a half years. This is indicat- ed by statistical studies carried â- on by the New York City Depart- ment of Heatlh. â€" o â€" HIRTH OF THE MOON The eai-th is believed lo have given birth to the moon when a large port'oii of its mass was whirled out into sjiaci.' while it was in an early plastic slate. The ,point at which the separation took j.laee is now the Pacific Ocean ba- .»in. according to this theory. r War Cartoons Are Very Similar to 1914 Var- iety â€" British Artists Pre- sent Hitler As a Gorilla, and Goering As Pig British cartoonists have turned to their World War files for in- spiration in caricaturing German leaders as huge gorillas, usually • clutching a fistful of children's bodie.'j. There's only one diffeience in Icchni.juc. When Kaemaker, the Dutch cartoonist, set the fashion in 1914, the Germans always were crowned with the spiked helmets of the old Imperial army. Today the "gorillas" wear the fiat fati- gue caps of Nazi ofliclals. Govbbcli â-  Snak* Hitivr is almost always a gorilla in the less restrained sheets al- though the E.ening Standard con- tinues to picture him as an inef- fectual little f«<l!ow with enormous feet. Coebbels sometimes is pictured as a snake, and Goering appears a» a pig. Other cartoonists' stand- bys are the snarling British lion, the heroic Trench Marianne send- ing troops lo war »nd screaming* •V»lish eagle-,. Autumn Bulbs With the approach of the annual bulb-planting season conies one of the greatest opportunities of the year tor bringing fresh beauty to the garden, no matter how large or small, how new or how old it may be. In no other type of gardening can the dreams ot the planner so quickly or so surely be transmitted into reality. It is still a bit early to begiu the bulb planting â€" with the exception of Madonna Lillies, colcbicuma. Autumn crocuses and a few other things. The general run ot Spring- flowering bulbs goes in in Septem- ber and October. But it is not a day too soon to begin lo plan just what is to be planted, and to make up lists. In fact, many good gard- eners get their orders in long be- fore this time. i>»«>»»»»»< How Can I ? 8Y ANN£ ASHI.eV City of Buffalo Named By Mistake The Indians' mis-pronunciation of two French words exclaimed by the Franciscan discovetrer, Vv. Lou- is Vlennepin, aave the city of Buf- falo its name. When Fr. Hennepin first saw th« Niagara River and its falls he burst forth: "Belle fleuve!" His Indian guides heard him re- peat this phrase t meaning beauti- ful flow) so often that they used it themselves to describe the river. But the red men were poor on their French. Theii version of the Franciscan's words became in the course of the years more like "bouf-fto." They named the city after it Have Yon Heaid Q. â€" How can I successfully measure molasses'? A. â€" Grease the cup lightly be- fore measuring the molasses, or dip it full of flour and then empty k. Either of these methods will enable every drop of molasses to come out of the cup without sticK- ing. Q. â€" How can I prevent a col- ored suede belt from fading on to the dress from perspiration"' A. â€" This can be prevented by neatly lining the inside of the belt with a strip of waterproof ad- hesive tape. Q. â€" How can I make putty? A. â€" Putty can be made merely by mixing linseed oil with sifted whiting until the proper consist- ency is acquired. Q. â€" How can I prevent the strings of a tennis racket from breaking '.vhen the racket is not being used? A. â€" Tennis racket strings should be covered with vaseline before putting away for the winter. This will prevent the strings from snapping during the time the rac- kets are not in use. Q. â€" How can 1 clean linoleum effectively? A. â€" Add a little paraffin to the water to take out all dirt and grease and give an excellent pol- ish to the' linoleum. Rub paraffin oil well into the linoleum and it will retain ils colors and wear twice a.t long as usual. Mr. Henpeck (to boss): "Sir, I think it's about time I got a raise." Boss: "What are ' you "talking about? We just put a raise in your envelope last week." Mr. Henpeck: "Why doesn't my wife tell me about these things?" â€" o â€" Mother: Why are you mak- iog facet at that bulldog? Small Child (wailing) : H« started it. â€" O There was very little doing in the bank in the tiny Irish village. The staff arrived,, in the morning, loafed about, drank tea and play- ed cards until three o'clock. "Ha," said the manager to his junior. "Three! JJun and close the front door." The junior returned in a minute or so and said: "It is closed, sir. We didn't open it this morning." â€" ^o â€" Vegetables can become in- toxicated, says a scientist. It's quite true lots of them are getting canned just now. A wise guy stepping up to the bus as it stopped the other morn- ing said to tlip driver: "Well, Noah, you've got here. U the Ark full?" The motorman answered back: "Nope, we need one more monkey. Come on in." First Gossip: "Does Mrs. Newbride have her own way?" Second Gossip: "Does she! Say, the writes her own diary a week ahead of time." A Hitler Pays To Red Cross One of the steadiest contribu- tors to the funds of the British Red Cross is Adolf Hitler. Payment of royalties to "enemy authors" is forbidden under the Board of Trade regulations and Hurst and Blackett, Hitler's pub- lishers in Great Britain announced that royalties from "Mein Kampt" will be given to the Red Crcs.^.

When a man invites a girl to dine isn't she privileged to order freely whatever she wants? 2. Does a well-bred person boast about his possessions, his home, his income < nd the like? 3. It is ever" permissible to whis- per in public? 4. When a girl goes to a party with a young man who is a stran- ger to all the guests, how should she introduce him? « 5. Isn't a girl, still under age, privileged to issue an invitation to her home? 6. Should a woman take her partner's ann when entering the dining-room, at an informal din- ner? Answers 1. Certainly; but unless she knows that her escort can afford it, she should not be too extrava- gant in her choice. Even if she knows that the cost is not to be considered, it is not good form to order as though she were starving, or that it is the first "real meal" she has had for a long time. 2. Never. This is a habit often in- dulged in by the nouveau riche, but a well-bred man or woman never refers to his possessions. The old proverb says, "Every fool is in love with his own bauble." 3. No. Persons near you may think you are commenting on their appearance. 4. Introduce him to the hostess, who will, if she knows her duty, introduce him to the oth- er guests. 5. It is better for the mother to do so until the girl is of age. 6. No; she should merely walk at his side. Placid English Life Disrupted To see England at war you must quit the comparative calm and near-normalcy ot London for the urgent preparedness ot the coun- tryside. Motoring from town you quickly find signs ot wartime interruptions of placid rural life. Urgency of Preparedness Everywhere in the southern towns and villages you find the same urgency of prepaiedness. In the town, navy and army of- ficers drive commandeered auto- mobiles. In the country soldiers are bil- leted iu a village, filliog every room in the place. The local sa- loou, doing its best business in hlstoiy, adapts itself to war con- ditions by earmarking a private room for non-commissioned offic- ers. Tuned For War Down the road in a private park, trucks loaded with ammuuitiou are lined u? beneath broad oaks and guarded by armed sen trie's. The trim Georgian mansion near- by is a battalion headquarters. Sacks for bayonet practice swing from a row of elms. Fields off lonely narrow roads hide anti-aircraft batteries. Close by. sentries guard a searchlight post â€" five lamp units walled in with standbags. Tents for the per- sonnel, patched cleverly with brown and green daubs, merge in- to fielt^ and tree. England is tuneti for war. Eskimos Work On Eiderdown New Industry on Southern Baf- fin Island Will Contribute to Livelihood of Many Inliabt- tanU .\ii eiderdown industry which is expected to contribute to the live- lihoo dot many of the 1,500 fiiski- mos of soulberu Baffin islald on Hudson Strait is being established by J. J. Bildfell ot Winnipeg on be- half of the Hudson's Bay Company it Is announced u.v the Mines and Resources Department. An area embracing the southern coast of the island and nil the is- lands east of Cape Dorset to Pang- nirtung has been leased by th» company for the purpose ot estab- lishing sanctuaries for eider ducks an Arctic species, and a permit tor collection ot the down has been Is- sued under authority ot the M.gra- tory Birds Convention -\ct. To Stuff Pillows, Cushions The down, small soft feathers from the breast ot the duck, iss a wide commercial value, being usod extensively to stuff pillows, cush- ions, etc. C'Rjer the company's plan, Eski- mo families participating in the industry would be allotted regions iij which to collect eiderdown. It's believed development of the indus- try on Baffin Island would contri- bute to livelihood of the natives especially at a lime when they're little to do between hunting sea- sons. Solitary Tree*. Draw Lightning Smooth-Barked Types Are Saf- est to Shelter Under Dur- ing A Storm Oak. elm and ash trees attract lightning more than other varieties and smooth-barked trees are safest to shelter under during a tUundet^ storm, so if you are caught in one make tor a short beech, or other smooth - barked tree â€" provided It does not stand alone. That beech trees are sate from lightning secerns to be borue out by the fact that there is no record pf one being struck at Burnham Beeches or High Beech in Eng- land. (Epping Forest), where near- ly all the trees are beech. Any tree is declared a fairly safe shelter, if it is in the middle of a good-sis- ed wood. It is the solitary tree, or the tree on the edge of a wood, that is dangerous. War Crumbling British Reserve Life in blacked-out Great Britaia isn't really so gloomy, It only because the natives are suCferiog from the biggest outbreak of chumminess on record. It's epidem- ic.
