Britain not only has its soldiers at home to equip, it was pointed out, but also its armies in India, the Middle East, and in the Far a jast at Singapore, Whence Comes The Swordfish? Nearly 23,000 hundredweights of swordfish, those fine big food fish which carry their .own wea- pon with them, were landed last = year by Canadian fishermen from Nova Scotia waters, but - where they came from is.something else again. Where these sword-bear- ers are spawned- is one of the questions which puzzle scientists, The swordfish is a big, swift, powerful creature, sometimes run- ning several hundred pounds in $i, weight. It is distinguished by a sword which it thrifts out before it. Actually, the sword is a pro- longation of the jaw and the fish can use it with great power, even driving it through the bottom of a" fishing boat. a Six Men Smoke For Six Months Six men sat in London for six months 'smoking-pipes_ made. from = strange new woods. "They were in gearch of a succes: sor to the traditional bruyere, pop. ularly known -as briar. It grew in Algiers, and, after being condition. ed in France, was shipped to Eng- "land to be made into pipes. When the fortune of war cut bff + supplies, some now material had to be found, so the six smokers ot London smoked steadily ahead, seeking the wood which seemed to their expert tongues to be worthy to take the place of briar. After. trying out woods from many qua: ters of the globe they have found in England one with all the quali ties of briar yet completely iffer- ent in appearance. It is non-porous, It resists heat. It is tough and tasteless. ' A new method of curing the wood known as the cherry cure, has been worked out in practical manufact- uring detail and already this "cherry cure" pipe is being export: "ed to many parts of the world, and * in particular to Canada, South Af- rica and the United States; in fact the limit of supply is set only by "< the allocation of essential materials 3 such as vulcanite which ig import. ed and Is also in blg demand for war work, : Ee) Son Se SS it] nln on ~ a hs SSE Canadians Raise Streamlined 'Hogs : Canadian farmers are keeping _ their hogs in fine condition so as ~ to be able to fill the huge bacon order placed by the British gov- ernment.

"Clean up your plate; lots of little boys, in Europe are going hungry!" Twenty-five years ago the version was: "Think of those starving little Belgians." And even then we couldn't see any more sense in the grim reminder than did the muttering small fry to whom it was addressed. We doubt the wisdom of appealing to a child's appetite by reminding him that other children need food. Dubious social implications apart, motivation like this puts the wrong emphasis on eating--eat- ing is a matural function and the right emphasis is on enjoyment of it. : # - HAVE - YOU HEARD?

Lucien Zacharoff, aeronautics authority, writes in the September issue of the magazine "Aviation." = He questions whether the Jap- ancse air force would be a factor in defending its own cities. The first-line air strength he places at no more than 5,000 planes and possibly at only 8,000.

"The quality of their educhtion may be appraised by the fact; ad- mitted by okio censors; that even in peace-time Japanese military and commerical fliers have the highest accident rate in world." Most of the leading Japanese military aircraft types are called obsolete or obsolescent by Zacha- roff,- who adds that Japan's cur- rent production of military planes of all types, including trainers, is about 260 a month, Current United States produc- tion, as announced by the Office - of Production Management, is about 1.600. rg The writer rates Far East So- fet air contingents as more power- ful than Japan's and Dutch-Bri- tish air power in the Pacific as greater than that of the Japanese navy. - 4 Canada Plans Plastic Planes New Type Aircraft.
