Scrap Iron It is estimated that there are uetween a million and one and a half million tons of scrap iron lying useless on American taniis, says 1'athl'inder.

A friend of ours in the Defence- Housing Registry at Washington is pretty busy these days trying to find rooms for the hundreds of new Government employees arriving daily. Recently the inspector, looking over a proposed property, asked the landlady: "How many share the bath?" "Well," admitted the prospect- ive recipient of a Government bounty, "things are a mite crowd- ed but we still take our baths senarately." "In a Midwestern town, an ec- centric was found who had not left an attic in twenty years." "That's the danger in starting a long serial in a pile of old magazines." While on patrol duty, a mem- ber of the Home Guard came across a watchman asleep in his hut. The sirens had just previously sounded. Shaking the old man, he shouted: "Wake up, don't you know the siren's gone?" Sleepily, he murmured: "Well, I'm not surprised. The people round here'll take anything." "Why are you wearing . apee- tacles, old chap?" " "Well, through crossword pus- sies, I've contracted an optical defect One eye travels vertic- ally and the the other horizont- ally." A man telephoned the doctori "Come over quick, Doe. My wife has appendicitis." "Nonsense," snorted the doctor, 'I removed your wife's appendix three years ago. How aan any- one have a second appendix T" "Listen," cried the husband, "did you ever hear of anyone having a second wife?" There had been an accident, and the sympathetic old lady had stopped and stroked his forehead. "My poor fellow," she orooned, "tell me your name, and I will tell your mother." "Thank you," gaaped she vie- tim, "but my mother knows my name." Boss: "You want a rals*T Way don't you live within your means?" Employeet "I do. sir, but yo don't realise how I am crowded for space". "Say, pa." "Well, my son." "I took a walk through the cemetery today and I read the inscriptions on the tombstone*." "Well, what about ItT" "Where are all the wicked pee- ple buried?" Motorist: "How far to the town?" Native: "About three miles in a bee line." Motorist: "Well, how far is it if the be* has to walk and roll a flat tire along?" "That pretty girl seems to be having a good time!" "H'ra, yes her fiance, a young medical officer in India, is com- ing home to marry her next month." "Well, she certainly seems to have solved the problem of what to do till the doctor comes!" Father: "The man who marries my daughter will get a prize!" Ardent Suitor: ".May 1 see it?" Fight For Existence Devil Take Hindmost Three months after Pearl Har- bor! Is thcru any American so deluded as to suppose that he can sit this one out'.' There are many, we gather, and we pity them. If you do not like the way this war is being prosecuted, it is your privilege and your duty to use all lawful pressure on your representatives to correct it. But if it is merely that you do not like this war, then you can lump it. Every last one of the. 130,000,000 of us is in this up to his neck. Your way of life, your life itself, all you own or hope to own, your job, your freedom, your self-re- spect is at stake. No one is sit- ting this one out . . . the British, the Germans, the Russians, the Japanese have no illusions. They know they are fighting for self- existence, and the devil take the hindmost. So are you. Saturday Evening Post. MIDDLE-AGE WOMEN (yrs. old) HEED THIS ADVICE!! If you're cross, restless, NERVOUS suner hot Sashes, dlzr,lnes* caused by this period in a woman's lUe try Lydia E.

Has Best Year In History Government-Owned Railway Reports Surplus of $4,016,000 In 1941 The Canadian National Rail- ways had the most successful fin- ancial year of its history in 1941 with a cash surplus of $4,016,000, the annua) report of the system, tabled in the House of Commons last week by the Minister of Transport, said. Net revenue, after the pay- ment of all operating expanses, was $66,608,341, an increase of $21,600,929 over the previoug year. The cash surplus of $4,- 016,000, after payment of taxes, interest to the public and certain interest payments to the govern- ment for capital purposes, show- ed an improvement of $21,000,- 000 over 194f>. Payment of thi surplus will be made to the gov- ernment before the close of the fiscal year ending March 31, the report said. 'Sharp increases in both passen- ger and freight traffic wer re- ported, with the freight, tonnage the highest in the railway's his- tory. "When the need for efficient transportation reached new high levels during 1941, the National Railway system was found capable and competent to meet all de- mands," the report said. "The demands in 1942 will be still more challenging but with the co-oper- ation of shippers, passengers and government agencies, they will be met." 1942 Outlook Bright "The outlook for 1942 is for a further substantial increase in traffic. Th* directors expect the railway will again earn a moder- ate surplus over and above its fixed charges. It is difficult to estimate how much that surplus will be. The outlook must be viewed in the light of war condi- tions and with the realization that abrupt and far-reaching distur- bances occur with startling rapid- ity "Both management and em- ployees realize fully the need for eonomjr and every effort will be made to secure the most favorable financial results consistent with the primary duty of furnishing prompt and efficient transporta- tion service la the national war ifort. "There is some shortage of labor, more particuarlj amonf the shop crafts. Shortages of ma- terial are bound to occur as the normal supplies are cut off or the available supplies are divert- ed to the fabrication of the muni- ' IE D I X I E PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO tions of war but these difficulties should not be insurmountable. The relations between manage- ment and the employees an ex- cellent and the railway and its equipment have been well main- tained." Operating Rvnu Operating revenues in 1941 totalled $304,876,000 or 21 per cent over the preceding year. The amount was approximately equal to that of 1928, and was more than double that of 1938. Only two other railway systems on the continent had larger gross rev- enues. Freight revenue increased $46,- 030,000 or 23 per cent. In 1941 the railway moved the largest tonnage of freight in its history. It moved the equivalent of 87,- 199,000,000 tons one mile, an ef- fort 20 per cent greater than in the previous peak year of 19SS. The increased freight revenne over 1928, however, was only fire per cent. Pungr Rov.nu, Passenger revenue inoreaasd $10,191,000 or 4T per oent. ured by pasenger miles, ger traffic increased 57 per a*at but the Increase in revenue was not proportionate to the increase in volume because of the low fares for members of the armed forces and special rates for workmen's trains serving munition plants. The average revenue per passen- ger mile was 1.8 cents, an all- time low. The increased activity in rail transortation was reflected in other accounts, such as mail, sleeping car, chair car, dining car, and commercial telegraphs. Ex- press revenue, however, was less than in 1940 due to the diminu- tion of movements of gold bullion. The coat of protecting the com- pany's property against possible sabotage was $652,000. The num- ber of employees increased by 6,706 to 89,536. Will Wear Clothe* Made From Milk Americans will be wearing dresses and other clothes made from milk by Spring, and the cow will be launched in a new role as fashion aid, is the forecast by dairy products researchers, says Science Service. Success in processing a new textile fibre from casein, by-pro- duct of skim milk, after four years of experimenting is cause for the predictions. The fibre is) said to be the first derived from milk which is "ac- ceptable to the American textile industry." and fabrics) ar now being manufactured containissj threads of milk. Exclusive of generator equip- ment, it costs $13,000 to build one of the giant 80,000,000 can- dlepower anti-aircraft search- lights used by the Canadian forces. .CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS...
