EFFECT OF UNDER-INFLAT1ON ON MILEAGE LIFE OF TIRES N\ PERCENT OF NORMAL TIRE MILEAGE RETURNED BY UNDER-INFLATED TIRES Recommended Air Pressure* Tmry according to the size of tire mud weight of car. 30 Ibs. U used for illustrative purposes. Underinflated tires are responsible for more waited tread rubber than is any other single cause. To assist motorists in conservation f rubber for national defense needs, tire development engineers of Hie Firestone Tire & Rubber Company have compiled the above data to show that maximum wear can only be assured when tires are kept properly inflated at all times. If a tire with 30 pounds of recommended pressure is run at 27 pounds pressure ( 10 per cent underinflation), almost one-fourth of normal tread mileage is sacri- ficed. A tire that Is 9 pounds undtrinflated wastes one-half of the tread robber. How Con 11 BY ANNE ASHLEY Q. How can I remove oil stains from a c&rvt? A. The best way to remove these stains is to dampen a cloth with gasoline and begin rubbing around the edge of the stain, working towards the middle and hanging to a clean portion of the rug as one part becomes soiled. Q. What can I do if the white of egg refuses to beat stiff? A. Add a teaspoonful of cold water and a pinch of salt. Add- ing a pinch of baking powder while beating will also help, makea it more fluffy, and prevents fall- ing if rt must stand for a while after beating. Q. How can I prevent my white clothes from turning yellow? A. Borax added to the water will bleach clothes and also pre- yent them from turning yellow. Q. What is the most efficient method of drying a sweater after washing, so that it will not get cut of shape? A. Hake a hammock of a piece of mosquito netting or other thin material. Hang this hammock in the sun and lay the sweater on it. Be sure that the hammock is drawn out flat so the sweater IB not doubled up. Q. How can I clean soiled andles? A. Wipe over the soiled candles with a cloth dampened with alco- hol. This will not harm their lustre. Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 1. If you have been invited to the home of a friend and through oversight you have not been in- troduced to some of the other guests, should you call this to the hostess' attention ? 2. What does a woman do with her gloves at a formal banquet, turn them back or remove them? 9. Hay a man use perfumed stationery ? 4. Should one ever turn down the corner of a book to mark the page If the book is a borrowed one? 6. When dinner dancing in a hotel should a girl check her wrap or leave it over the back cf her chair? . Should soft-boiled eggs be oaten with a spoon? ANSWERS 1. No; it is much better to save the hostess from embarrassment by joining in the conversaiton and laughter, and it is quite likely that you will soon be talking to overyone present. 2. Remove the gloves and place them in the lap. 8. No; women only use perfum- od stationery and even then the cent should be very faint. 4. No; use a book-mark or any- thing that will avoid damaging the book. 5. She may leave it on the back of her chair if she wishes. 6. Yes; If served in an egg oup they may be eaten from the hell with the spoon; or if you wish, break the egg In two, scoop the content." out into an egg- oup and at with a spoon. Mobile Kitchens From Argentina Forty thousand non-British rail- workers in Argentina most of them Italians or of Italian origin have given a remarkable expres- sion to their sympathy with the people of Great Britain under war conditions. They have presented the British government with a fleet of 16 mobile kitchens and three mobile canteens fully equip- ped to serve thousands of hot meals and hot drinks at shortest notice in any emergency. Approp- riately theee vehicles are to be allotted to railway centres and the ports and docks which handle the bulk of the Argentine trade. The gifts, for which 7,000 was raised, were formally presented to Mr. Herbert Morrison. Minister for Home Security, by the Argentine ambassador, Dr. T. A. Le Breton. HAVE YOD HEARD? An employer was interviewing an applicant for a vacant post. "What references have you?" said he. "Didn't 'ave no reference fvom my last job." "How was that?" "It were a Government con- track." "Indeed! How long ago?" "Three months, sir." "What were you doing?" "Six." o Latt night I met a chap with a black eye, 10 I said, "That's a beauty ! Who gave it to you?" "Nobody gave it to me," he said. "I had to fight for it." O Two night fighter pilots, re- turning to their base after a moonlig-ht patrol, spoke to each other by radio telephone. This was part of the conversation: "Any luck?" "Yes, a couple of Heinkels. What about you?" "I got a Ju.88." "What did you do with it?" "It wasn't worth keeping, so I threw it back in the sea." "Hoo . tnony o' they cara- mels do I get for a pennv .'" "Eight or nine," replied the shopkeeper, casually. "Och, then, I'll ha'e nine." - When one ancient Scot tried to inveigle another into a game of golf, his friend agreed and said "Aye, weel, get awa' oot into yon wh-.ns and find two wee baa's!".. "1 always wondered what my husband did with his eve- nings, until 1 stayed home one evening and found him there!" o "Back from your vacation at last, ch? Feel any change?" "No, not a cent." What Science Is Doing SUGAR FROM CARROTS The latest discovery by scicet- Ists at the Long Asliton Researcn Station, near Bristol, England, Is that sugar can be made from car- rots. Treated by the process they have evolved, carrots yield a pow- der rich in vitamin A (the anti- night blindness vitamin*, wnicb. will be used for making soup quicfc- ly in mobile canteens. It needs only the addition of hot water. The other product is a "treacle" which has a high sugar-content. The possibilities of this have yet to be developed. "It smells like butterscotch, 18 very sweet the carrot flavor has almost entirely disappeared and Is high in sugar content, bnt low to acid," said Mr. Vernon L. 6. Charley, who is In charge of the fruit production section of the sta- tion. "EMBALM" FURNITURE Farmers and woodland owners will have cause for rejoicing If experiments now under way at the Harvard Forest. Mass., prove suc- cessful. Expert* are testing certain prep- arations for the preservation of wood. The process is expected to be successful with both hard- woods and conifers. Through a kind of embalming method, preservatives are forced Into fence posts, log cabin walla and rustic furniture which will keep the wood from decaying. SCREAMS AWAY FOG For years scientists have tried to disperse fog without any real success. All past experiments have been with chemical sprays or elec- trical rays, and according to recent reports a spray method is even now being tried out in America The most promising of all are the ex- periments carried out by a metal- lurgist named H. W. St. Clair, wno Invented a device which disperses fog by sound. He claims that the sound wares when tuned In to the frequency of the fog waves scream them out of existence. At present the device is being used only in smelting furnaces to disperse smoke which otherwise goes up the chimney, and to recover the metal particles in the smoke. Fighting Fires By Photography Photography is the Forest Ser- vice's latest weapon in figrhtiny forest fires in Montana. Aerial photographs are taken to show the fire scene and the typogrophy of near-by lands. These are developed and print- ed and are dropped by parachute to the fire boss who is directing the fire-fighting effort. It en- abes him to see by what means the flames may best be checked. In a recent experiment, pictures were dropped to the fire boss 18 minutes after they had been taken. Russ Women Help Break City's Siege Pravda. organ of the Commun- 1 1st Party, pictures how fighting | men and women of one Russian | city broke a siege after Nazi tanks had reached its outskirts, cut off its highways and railroads at>d encircled it. Factories, offices and shops poured out men and women who went to the front lines with or- ders they must not retreat. In a typical section of the fine, a Red army man, a bookkeeper, a mechanic, a militiaman and a sailor stood side by side while a girl nearby held a rifle at a para- pet ready to resist any attack.

WORTH TRYING I Three New British Warship* To Be Put Into Service Thla Fall Three British super-battleships, the Jellicoe, Beattle and Duke of York will be put Into serrlce In th autumn, the BBC said recently. The ships will be of the George V class, of which the Prince of Wales and the George V already are commissioned. Observers in London believed that at least one of these units was on the verge of completion, since Prime Minister Churchill, In hla broadcast, spoke of the Prince of Wales as "almost the newest" British battleship. She had been regarded hitherto as the newest. The George V was disclosed to kave been completed last winter when she suddenly arrived off the United States coast bringing Vls- eount Halifax, then newly named ambassador to Washington. Launched Februarr 21. 1939, she displaces 35.000 tone, and la con- ildered. with the Princ* of Walea, to b the most up-to-date battle- ship afloat. She has enhanced arm- or defence against air attack In- cluding an improved distribution of deck and side armor and an 1m- froTed system of under-water pro- tection. The Prince of Walee first came toto the news during the great hnnt for the Bismarck, her guns poondin; the giant N'aii battleship before the coup de grace was ad- hil8tered by torpedoes. The Duke of York was launch- ed September 16, 1939. and is b- llefed to be Just about complete. The Beatty was launched two months later, November 11, 1939, and the Jellicoe, on an undisclos- ed date in 1940. British Prisoners Receive Packages Every British Prisoner of War Receives at Least One Parcel Each Week The packages of mercy gifts of food, clothing, tobacco, soap and books are moving smoothly to the millions left in prison by war in the West. British prisoners In Germany did not fare well for a long while, be- eause of transport difficulties across Spain. Before the Geneva Red Croee was able to negotiate with Portugal and Spain for better transport, it bought 2S2 tons of food on the continent to send to British prisoners' camps. Later In the year negotiations at Lisbon enabled packige* to be aDipped to Mediterranean ports. thus avoiding the uncertain rail trip across Spain. Even now, it usually takes about four months before packages from Canada reacii the camps. Carl J. Burckhardt, active mem- GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO her of the International Red Croes Committee, ays every Bri- tish prisoner now is able to re* celve at least one package a week. During the first 3H months of thla year 329.092 parcels arrived in Gen- eva for distribution to British pris- oners In Germany, Italy and occu- pied France. Where To Send Airmen'* Gifts Addresses of the organizations to which contributions for smokes and comforts for personnel of the R.C.A.F. overseas should be sent were announced recently by the Department of Public Relations at R.C.A.F. Headquarters, Ot- tawa. In the case of money gifts, they should be sent to the secretary of the R.C.A.F. Benevolent Fund, Air Force Headquarters, Ottawa. Those wishing to make dona- tions in kind should arrange with their tobacconists to address die packages direct to the Air Officer Commanding. R.C.A.F. Head- quarters in Great Britain, (R.C.- A.F. Overseas). In the first case, all cash re- ceived will be deposited in a spe- cial account until such time aa enough has accumulated to pur- chase a quantity of cigarette* large enough for an issue to be made to airmen outside of Can- ada. New Ambulance Has High Speed A new motorcycle ambulance capable of speeding wounded sol- diers 90 miles an hour from the front lines to field hospitals has been developed for the British American ambulance corps. The new vehicle, built by the William E. Detlor Company, of Detroit, has a seven-foot sidecar for the patient and seat space for a medical attendant as well as the driver. An unusual feature was the installation of springs synchron- ized with the patient's heartbeat to avoid increasing fever. He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace In his home. Goethe. His Last Wish The Moscow radio, with its best button-nose deadpan, reported tJ short time ago that the follow- teg story was current among 1 German soldiers: Adolf Hitler, visiting the Eas- tern Front, asked a soldier what his last wish would be if a Rus- tian shell should land near him. "I wonld wish," the soldier answered, "that my Fahrer stood beside me." 100 Trained Mice Keep Their Owner Until recently, Claude Whitney was concerned primarily with his job as a Detroit automobile worker. His health failed. He went to California. Now he's interested In his 100 trained mice. They are of all colors white, chocolate brown, fox red, black, mauve, champagne, orange and white, and smoke blue for it was from breeding mice for varied colors that Whitney's circus de- veloped. Jitterbug mice live in a cage with a raised floor, where they skip about endlessly. 0:hers walk a tight rope or perform OB spin- ning pie plates. Whitney's wife.
