Smith: "What's this check stub, one pullover--$25? I don't want to appear like a cheapskate, but isn't that a lot of money for a pullover?" Wife: "The man on the motorcycle said it was the regular price." Smith: "You got it from a man on a motorcycle?" Wife. "Yes, I went through a red light, and he drove up and said, 'Pull over.'" The despondent business man climbed wearily into his luxurious car. "Where to, sir?" the chauffeur asked. Drive off a cliff, James," was the reply; "I'm committing suicide." With his usual long-wndedness, the bore was describing one of his hair-breadth escapes. "There was I," he said, "on a lonely road, miles from anywhere, with a blazing car. What do you think I did?" One weary listener stifled his yawns long enough to reply: "Toole a long breath and blew it out!" "When I was travelling in Russia they showed me a bed twenty feet long." "Well, I dunno--sounds like a lot of bunk to me." WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Vivicillin \/& A new drug that may well play an important role in checking invasion casualties and reducing the death toll has been developed in London laboratories. The drug, known as vivicillin % if a development of penicillin and can be produced in large quantites at comparatively Recent experiments conducted in Wellhouse Hospital, Barnett, London, have shown it to be effective in septicemia and hemophilia cases, as well as in cases where burns had endangered the lives of patients. The results astonish doctors, who, however, make nj extravagant claims at this stage of the new drug's efficacy. A statement issued at the hospital emphasized that vivicillin is not a cure-all, although it has been used with encouragiig results and its application in wider fields is expected. "Penicillin is not available for use by civilian hospitals and medical practitioners, and it would appear that the chief value of vivicillin lies in its comparatively low cost of manufacture and ease of production in quantity, making it available to a large mass of the population so far unprovided for." The drug also has been used with lemarkable success in cases of peritonitis and acute mastoiditis, where one to four injections were made. In several cases of infected burns and septic wounds the drug has been administered externally with excellent results, it was reported. Nazi Glider Tug Has Five Motors For months, fliers who returned from trips over Germany with reports of a five-motored German plane were pooh-poohed for their pains, says Newsweek. But now-Allied officials know definitely that such a craft exists. One was shot down, along wtih the two gliders it - Fr The monstrosity is actually two Tlein-kel 111 bomber-fuselages hitched together by a long wing and unconnected anywhere else. The fifth motor is mounted in the middle of this wing. In performance, it's apparently slow, but .powerful. However, reports which have not yet officially been confirmed say a 2,500 Home Defence Troops 'Go Active* More than 2,500 home defence troop* stationed at Vernon, B.C. have volunteered for active service overseas. Major-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, general officer commanding-in-chief of Pacific Command, said last1 week in an address congratulating the volunteers o« their appeals to "go THE BEST OF FRIENDS Friendship, just a perfect friendship; has sprung up between white rabbit and young fox at San Francisco zoo. Here, the usually amicable pair are having slight argument about who is to get first bite of carrot. Dispute was easily settled. 1:1:114:1 Protecting Clothing From Clothes Moth There are two main points to be observed in the protection of household articles subject to. damage by moths. The articles to be stored should be thoroughly clean, and the receptacle in which they are placed should not have the slightest hole or crack through which a moth might enter. If there be such a means of entrance, the trunk, box, drawer, bag or whatever receptacle is used, is not moth-proof. Washable articles before being stowed away should be washed. Clothing, blankets, and such-like articles, should be thoroughly brushed. Preferably, where possible, they should be sent to the dry cleaners before being placed in storage. To reduce the chance of infestation, moth balls or other repellent may be used. In trunks or boxes they may be scattered about, but a much tidier way is to obtain pin-up medallion repellents which may be bought at most stores. They may be pinned in cupboards, and on the inside of the lids of trunks and boxes. The fumes from these chemicals are deadly to insects, and being heavier than air they penetrate to the bottom of the receptacle. Particularly with bags, it is easy to suspend the repellent near the top of the bag above the hanger, and away from the clothes. Where naphthalene flakes can be obtained, an effective method is to enclose an ounce or two in a home-made cheese cloth bag and suspend it from the top. Moth balls may be used in the same Poles Flee Reich In German Plane Two young Poles with prewar . pilot training escaped form Germany in a Nazi training plane and landed in Sweden recently. The youths said they dressed in stolen German uniforms and presented themselves at the Breslau Flying School, claiming they had orders to make a test flight. The Germans, they said, fueled the plane for them and 3,'/2 hours later they landed in Sweden. The climbing perch from Asia is a fish that can walk on dry land and climb trees.
