No Supply Ship For Hong Kong The Argentine Foreign Office hn announced that Japan had ag- reed 10 permit an International Red Cross representative to visit Hong Kong to inspect the treat- ment of British and Canadian pr'ir "nevs, but had rejected a pro- posal for sending a Red Cross supply ship. Argentine represented the Un- ited Kingdom's interests in Japan until April 29, and then withdrew at I-rondon's request after the Un- ited Nations decided to make a unified representation through Switzerland. A communique said the Japan- c-< :;ad refused to allow a Red Cross ship to go to Singapore and Hong Kong because of ''rea- sons related with security of nav- igation in that zone." It added that the Argentine embassy in Tokio had reported a success in negotiating for the establishment of postal services for the interned soldiers and ci- vilians.

Reaches 1928 Peak The Canadian Pacific Railway has reached the volum peak of 1928, but its facilities are not overtaxed and can handle consid- erably more traffic. The move- ment of war supplies to the sea- board will be limited in scope only by the bottleneck in trans- ship;>'iig the _;'" ; across tne ocean. A surplus of rolling stock built up in the pre-depressioa. years is now being utilized, but the chief problem is manpower for the railroad. These were some of the obser- vations made by D. C. Coleman of Montreal, newly chosen presi- dent of the C.P.R. in a recent interview. If the volume of business con- tinues to climb upward, bringing about augmented train move- ments, the manpower problem will become sharp, Mr. Coleman said, when asked what he con- sidered was one of the chief prob- lems confronting the railroad. He did not think there would be large-scale employment of women by the C.P.R. to offset the short- age of men. Surplu* of Rolling Stock "We can handle more freight traffic," he aaid with a smile. "We have the rolling stock, and there is no shortage of locomo- tives. We have a number on order now. Before the outbreak of war, we had a large surplus of rolling stock and we still have some surplus left. It was the re- sult of the planning which all businesses must do. "The volume of business is gov- erned to some extent by sea trans- portation," Mr. Coleman pointed out. "The bottleneck is whether the supplies moved to the sea- board by the railroads can be moved from there. We haven't got the storage facilities in this country that the United States has, and we are moving- goods under a permit system which takes into account the movement of goods overseas from the sea- board. Otherwise, we would have been swamped long ago." Mr. Coleman expressed doubt that the government would re- strict passenger travel by tail to oi.e hundred miles. He said the C'.P.K. could handle increased pnsseiiger traffic and would likely do so in the event of bus travel ouing sharply curtailed.

Tanks are being built in the Angus shops in Montreal and guns are being turned out at the Qgden shops in Calgary. Mr. Coleman said the C.P.R. also op- erated three air training schools, two in the West and one at Mai- ton, No. 1 Air Observers' School. These training centres are run in conjunction with the Common- wealth Air Training Plan. He foresaw a trying per- iod of readjustment in the post- war period. The agony and suf- fering of war, he stressed, "does not end with the signing of the peace." "It is wise to have postwar plans in the back of our minds, but we should not concentrate too much on them," declared Mr. Coleman. ^'We have got to win this war first, and we haven't begun to do that, though things look a little better now." "Boys, First Class" Of Fighting Navy It happened in a merchant whip. Shu was a passenger liner and she was attacked by enemy bom- bers. She had, ae memhers of her crew, two lads at sea for the first time. They were laundry boys. Theae two laundry hoys, new to the sea, went to their ac- tion stations and an incendiary bomb fell into some bales of sisal near them. That Inflammable ma- terial hlazed up at once. But those two lads s>howed such in- itiative and courage that they bad the lire under control before the regular fii-p-t'lghting parties reach- ed the spot. A few moments later one of a slick of high-explosive bombs dropped by the enemy fell neat them, and it failed to explode The captain knew it would be danger- ous to attempt to move it, so he culled for volunteers to smother It with suudbags. The same two laundry hoys were the first to get to the spot with their sandbags ready. They did not get any medals. They got a special commendation from the King. They hadn't any fancy names like Casubianca to inspire pofts. But the names of young Mr. J. Wiggins aud young Mr. A. McLellan are worth re- numbering. In the fighting Navy they have a rattling good name for such lade. They are rated as, "Hoy, Klrst Class," and first class they we, fighting navy or merchant navy, midshipman, apprentice, oa- ilet or just Iroy.

A little Scottish boy wag up the other day before the exam- iners for the Navy; the examina- tion was viva voca, deigned to dwcover signs of "general intelli- gence". They asked the boy what he knew about the battle of Flod- den. He said "Nothing". "What!" they said. "Don't you know any- thing about the battle in which the English beat the Scotch?" "Well," he said, "I know it must have been verra exceptional." "English it a itrange lang- uage, after all." "Why so?" "I heard a mn talking of political candidate the other day: 'If he only takes iliiE stand when he runs, he'll have a walkover'." A surgeon, man of few words, met his match in a woman! She called at his surgery with her hand badly inflamed and swollen. The following dialogue, opened by the doctor, took place: "Burn?" "Bruise." "Poultice." The next day the woman called again, and the dialogue was aa follows: "Better?" "Worse." "More poultices." Two days later the woman made another call. "Better?" "Well, Fee?" "Nothing. Most sensible wo- man I ever met." Mrs. Style: "1 want a hat, but it must be in the latest style." Shopman: "Kindly take a chair, madam, and wait a few minutes, the fashion is just changing." "Do you know who I am?" shouted the irate general to the Australian who had neglected to salute him. "Do you know who I am?'' he persisted, as the soldier looked blankly at him. "Here, boys," said the Austra- lian, turning to his friends. "Here is something good. A general who doesn't know his own name." Caller: "Well, well, so janr name is Janie and you're five year* old. What do you plan doing when you get as big your mother?" Janie: "Diet.** The little woman had worried the grocer over trifles at the busiest time of the day, and at last he had manat-ed to satisfy her. "Do you know, Mr. Peek," said the woman, "when I came into your shop I had a dreadful head- ache. I've quite lost it now." "It isn't lost," sfc'd the dis- tracted grocer. "I've got it " "I'm wondering what to buy for my wife's birthday." "Ask her." "Good Heavens, I couldn't afford that." Kthel : "Please, can you tell me the time?"

H8 chief enemies are summer moisture and the dry heat of homes and apartments iu winter. They cause loose joints, loosening of veneer, warpiug and cracking. Best protection against both is a sooii oil or polish that will uekl the surface aud preserve it. An inexpensive polish can be made by mixing one part turpen- tine with two parts of boiled lin- seed oil. l"e>e al least twice a year on furniture that is varnished or oiled. The turpentine in the mix- ture will loosen the dirt, and the oil will penetrate the wood pores aud keep the wood in good con- dition. Apply with a soft cloth. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth, then fold this cloth over and rub the surface until it is entirely dry aud fingers will leave no mute. If the wood is badly soiled wasU with a mixture of three table- spoons of boiled linseed oil and uue tablespoon of turpentine in a quart of hot water, then polish. Little scratches can be concealed with iodine or rubbing with nut meat, such as walnut. White spots on varnished furniture caused by water or hot dishes can be re- moved by rubbing with spirits of cainplior or essence of pepper- mint. Housewives Asked For Co-Operation Here are the new food ration- ing regulations announced in a broadcast to the women of Can- ada recently by Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board: Sugar: Half a pound per person per week. Tea: Individual consumption must be cut by one-half. Coffee: Individual consumption must be cut hy one-quarter. Housewives were asked by Mr. Gordon to see that these cuts are obeyed. Those who violate the regula- tions will be prosecuted. Spiders Spin Web* For Gun Sights Spiders, their webs being used for gun sights because of extra- ordinary strength and fine tex- ture, are playing their part in the war. Starvation for two days makes them produce a web of even thickness which i split by hand to one-third original thick- ness. What Science Is Doing SECRET GAS If Hitler should introduce ga into total warfare, the United Slates is prepared to retaliate with "Lewisite," a secret gaa "more deadly" than any used in the Great War, according to its inventor, Prof. W. Lee Lewis, of Chicago, The Toronto Telegram relates. Lewis, former Northwestern University professor, and one- time colonel of the Chemical War- fare Service, said the U. S. War Department for twenty-five year* had kept secret the formula for a gas whose importance "two de- cades of research have failed te erase." He explained: "It is more humane than mus- tard and other gases used in th First World War, in that its dead- ly effectiveness reacts inora quickly. "Lewisite is infinitely superior to World War I gases in several respects. The gas has a low freezing point, and can be used in remarkably cold regions. An- other important factor is that an area contaminated with the a remains contaminated for a long period of time. Rain or moist atmosphere will not disfiipato it* force." Adaptability The lady is calm and cool as an icicle ; If she can't get gas she can pedal her bicycle, A vehicle none should presume to disparage, And if that's in use she can driva the carriage. Should the carriage be otherwise occupied, Who cares when the horses are there to ride! Motors, bicycles, carriages, horse* IJesourccful people are full of resources. We'll walk, since there isn't ft bus to take; When you can't have bread you can do with cake.
