PUTTING PUNCH IN THE AUSTRALIAN AIR ARM Vicious sci uppers, swift P-38 fighters like this one being unloaded in Australia, arc adding plenty of drive to the battle against the Japs. Have You Heard? She watched the door of her new establishment open to admit her first client. Business had started! A good impression must be created! Hurriedly she grasped the tele- phone receiver and 'became en- gaged in an animated conversa- tion. Then an appointment having been arranged, she replaced the receiver, and asked: "What can I do for you, sir?" A moment's pause, and then: "If you please, Ma'am, I've come to connect the telephone!" Urii;;;: "You say that your wife went to college before you married her." Griggs: "Ye* ihe did." Briggc "And she thought of taking up law, you laid?" Griggs: "Yes but now the'* latitfied to lay it down." Last month, a friend invited me to his office to see a chair that he said had cost $5,000. "You must be kidding," I said. "That chair is not worth $5,000." "Maybe it isn't worth that money," he agreed, "but that's what it cost me last year, just sitting in it, when I should have been up and after business!" Joe: "What'* become of the Hiker'. Club?" Jim: "Oh, it disbanded. It was getting too hard to per- diade patiing motorist* to pick us up and giva u* a lift." An old lady was arguing with th driver about the coat of the taxi ride. "1 tell you the price you are charging us poor people who hav been bombed out of our homes is ridiculous. Do you think I have been traveling in a taxi for years for nothing?" "No" replied th driver, "but I'm jolly well sure you've tried your hardest." "Tommy," askad hit ttingy uncle, "how would you feel if I were to giv* you a pen- ,?" "I think," replied Tommy, "that I would feel a Intl.. faint at firil, but I'd try and get over it." "How did Maguire lose the fin- gers of his right hand?" "Oh, he put them in horse's mouth to find out how many teeth lie had." "And then what happened?" "The horse closed his mouth to find out how many fingers Ma- guire had." "George, am aa 1 a* dear to you aa I wa before we were married?" "Ail, in those days I didn't count the coit!"

One Is to purge ruthlessly and on a large scale the. Nazis and militarists and then give a chance to German democracy; the other Is to dis- criminate less, but be much more severe toward the nation as a whole. If, however, the discriminating policy is pursued, It must not be a question of merely putting spe- cial criminals to death. That may be done, hut not that alone. Large bodies of Germans constitute at this moment the Gestapo, the SjS., and the party officials. None of them need have filled any of thes^ positions; they volunteered; and in doin^ so the} pledged themselves to take part In any atrocity. No one would suggest shooting so large a multitude, but there may be strong arguments for re- moving them from the future Ger- many ami putting them where they can do no more mischief. 25th Anniversary Of Great Disaster 1,635 Persons Killed in Ex- plosion at Halifax Dec. 6 was the 25Ui anniversary of one of the worst sinKk*disas- ters in the world's history. It was on Sunday, Dec. 6, 1917, that the Halifax explosion literally blew apart the entire northern section of the city of 60.00(1 people. Today scars are still visible iu Halifax, which is again u busy wartime seaport. In the northern end of the city, in the west narrows, which divide Bedford ria.siu from the stream or main harbor, two ships collided 25 years ago tlie Imo, u freighter of Norwegian registry loaded with 8,000 tons of wheat under Itelgian relief charter, and the French freighter Mont Blanc, carrying 4.- 000 tons of explosives. The resulting explosion killed 1,635 persons. Five hundred dis- appeared completely. Scores were blinded and dozens partially blind- ed. Hundreds more received other PARATROOP CHIEF HONORED Col. Kdson D. Uaff of New York, left, commander of the first contingent of U. S. paratroops in North Africa, stands at attention as French Gon. Kdouard Welvert decorates him with the French Legion of Honor medal. Col. Kaff and his men flew 1500 miles from Knglund to net into action. United States Year Ahead Of Schedule The U. S. Navy carrier-liuililing program Is 26 months ahead of schedule. Fourteen thousand planes more are to be given to the Navy. What a feat that carrier build- ing is! It means that the Ameri- cans are averaging a year ahead on every one of the 17 carriers under construction. The first half-dozen were begun only last year. It means that America's ship- builders are doing a four-year job in two years; that the first of these 85-knot, 25,000-tonners, each carrying 80 planes, may be in the fighting line next year. British naval shipbuilding it secret. Their shipyards are not known to have done more than replace tha four aircraft carriers lost s n. i the fall of France. Their warship building program was diKoi'KRiiized by the French collapse. Kt|uipnient for new fighting ships wag delayed while the 1940 losses of every type of weapon used by the army were iiiude t;ood. Now naval construction is on the same priority as tanks, guns n4 plane*, Injuries. The explosion was inve.ttigtttod by the law courts, and tlie ca wag taken to the privy council. That tribunal ruled both ships had been at fault. Humors of sabotage are still iinprnven today. A new city lias arisen from the i ulnn of the old. A large-scnlu war- time housing project blots out the scar of the disaster. Hut Halifax hasn't forgotten, and prer/mtiona have been taken to ensure that the second world war does not repeat the disaster ot the first.

Will he greatly appreciated WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING NEW MEDICINE STOPS BLEEDING QUICKLY Prize fighters are using a new medicine which stops bleeding al- most instantly. The seconds are putting the medicine on troublesome cuts, especially around eyes, which partly blind fighters and some- times cause a referee to stop a fight. The medicine is the fastest blood-clotting substance ever found, and the ring, in adopting it, is one of the first agencies to prove the advantages. The medi- cine is made from rabbit's blood, and that has no implications au to its effect on courage. The remedy could as easily be made of lion's blood, if lions weren't so expensive. , It is a whitish powder, extracl- ed from plasma, the portion of blood remaining after the red corpuscles have been removed. The rabbit plasma is the same portion of whole blood as the hu- man plasma now collected by the IJed Cross for military transfu- sions. Out of this rabbit plasma a lit- tle more than a year ago Dr. I. A. Parafentjev, of the Lederle labor- atories, obtained a globulin, which is one of the important proteins in blood. The globulin had re- markable blood-clotting powers. One part of the extract would clot 00,000 parts of blood in three seconds.
