= Fn BIE gi" flo U.S. Making Sure 2 Of Enough Nickels Hear ye! Hear ye! The nickel fs safe! n The U.S. treasury procloined khe good news last week after ar- ranging for all the nickel it needs to make five-cent pieces, despite the fact that mandatory priorities ~have been placed-on-the metal to - conserve it for defence industries, The treasury won its fight to keep nickel in the nickel by point- ing out that in spite of record production of five cent pieces last year the mints used only 358 tons of the metal. You see, the "nickel" is really three-fourths copper, and has only = - enough real nickel in it to give it its color and hardness, First Use of Coal The popular legend is that coal was discovered by Joseph of Arimathea who, near Glaston- bary, England, in A.D. 67, found a black lump and took it to the monastery where it was thought to be a stone and thrown on the fire. It became known as "sea-" coles," probably because it was conveyed by sea around the Brit- ish coasts, and was first used generally as fuel in 1228, It is now cstablished that coal was used in Britain much earlier than has been supposed. Sir Cyril Fox, director of the National Mu- seum of Wales, while excavating in the neighbourhood of Coity, a village near Bridgend, came across two cairns, bath of the Bronze Age. One, the Simond- ston Cairn, had buried in it two __adults and a child, and fragments of coal found with each set of remains show that coal was used in these cremation burials. It was also established that. the burials took place about 1600 B.C. Canada Puts Fish In 'Meat' Category Protest o Nova Stotid A0.p. in House of Commons Goes Unheeded Fish is meat, according to the Meat and Canned Foods Act, des- pite a protest made by J. J. Kin- ley, Nova Scotia Liberal, in the House of Commons at Ottawa, A bill amending some provis- ions of the Act relating to fish ~ and shellfish was passed after some argument over choice of words, One amendment dropped the words "dry lobster meat" from the Act and gave a definition of "dry meat," a term used in the lobster trade. Mr. Kinley: said fish was not meat and wondered why it should be so described. He suggested all' reference to meat be dropped. The Fisheries. Minister, J. E. Michaud, said the purpose 'of thé amendment was to eliminate one of two terms naming the same thing and concentrate on '!dry meat" instead of "dry lobster meat." This would avoid econ: fusion among packers and dealers, i Counting a Billion Do you know how long it would take you, counting at the rate of 200 a minute (which is pretty good going), working twelve hours a day without pause, to count up to a billion? Nearly 20,000 years. To be precise, 19,325 years and 319 days. At the rate we are going, governments will soon be talking about quadrillions, which is next on the list. It is written like this--1,000,000,000,- 000,000,000,000,000, Let us start counting again at the rate of 200 a minute. Assuming that there' are a thousand million people in the world, it would take them nearly twenty million years to reach a quadrillien, Milk Cows on Farms While the number of all cattle on farms in Canada at December 1, 1941, was higher than at the corresponding date of the previ- dus year, the number of milk eows declined slightly from 3,- 938,300 in 1989 to 8,917,100 in 1040.

How can 1 clean painted walls, without using soap? A. Use two ounces of borax in two quarts of water and one tea- spoon of ammonia.

How can I bleach silk, wool, Jinen, or cotton? A. The best bleaching process for these materials is to use one teaspoon 'of peroxide of hydrogen to %-tub of cold water.

For- tunately for the model, cameta guns will be used and not the real 'thing. New Long Look Seen in Sweaters The longer fitted sweater is a rival now for the very short one. The new type has been "slowly making headway in "influencing the sweater trend until now the movement is definitely to longer fitted types. Many cf the brief sweaters that last year would have been waist- length are now inching down to cover the hips. You will find them in daytime and evening sweaters, either smoothly molded or with waistline nipped in by ribbing or finer stitches and reinforced here by elastic threads to hold them in, Pullovers with such nipped-in waistlines or with draping at the hips and high necklines zipped at back as well as the long semi- folded skirt pullover are especi- ally new-looking. 4 x The 'sale of unclaimed baggage and articles found on.

At Sandler What Science SUPER-GIANT STARS Dr. Ralph E, Wilson has work- ed out a new astronomical yard« stick by 'using rare super-giant "C" type stars. It will serve to determine dis- tances to these stars, among the largest in the sky, and to ncarby star systems, Only about 400 of the stars have been found, the Mount Wil- son observatory astronomer said last week, He used 246 of them in 'his studies. "They range in color from red, orange, yellow, whitish-yellow and - white to blue," said Dr. Wilson, "They are distinguished from other stars by the abnormal in- tensities of the hydrogen lines and by thé sharpness of the oxy- gen, nitrogen, iron lines in their spectra." NEW PRODUCTS HASTENED The speed with which scientific research is translated into com- mercial products is demonstrated in a report made by Arnold E. Pitcher, general manager of the planting department of the du; Pont Company, in which he dis- closes that three-quarters of all the plastics that the company ex- ipects to produce during the pres- ent year have originated in the laboratory in the last forty-eight months, ; POOR DIET AND CANCER Evidence showing how poor - diet can become one of the causes of. cancer was reported last week. in science by five Memorial Hos- pital (N.Y.) physicians. The cancers were in animals, but were important because lately physicians have reported in hu- méns occasional cancers that seemed to be helped by diet changes, such as high vitamins or high proteins.

"Look here," stormed Brown to the real estate agent, "aboyt that riverside bungalow you sold me." "Anything wrong?" asked the agent, o "Wrong! Wrong!" exclaimed Brown. . "The other morning we woke up and found that the place had floated two miles down the river." "H'm," said the agent blandly enough, "that's a good stroke of luck. The taxes are much lower down there." ' -~ "Now perhaps you'll wanta shave?" queried the barber who had just given five-year. old Bobbie his first profes. sional haircut. Bobbie (after feeling of his face): "I guess there wouldn't be enough shavings, would there?" A robbery had been committed in the English village, and a de- tective had been sent to investi- gate. "Have you seen" any mysterious strangers about here lately?' asked the detective of the old vil- lager, "Yes, sir," replied the old man.

It would be much better to ask her for the date. It is her privilege to accept or say that she has an engage- ment. 5. Yes; this is crude.
