The answer, of course, is that the signal is not for the word victory but for the letter V and the V it is that stands for victory, The Morse code consists of 26 different combinations of dots and dashes for letters of the al- phabet, another for the abbreyi- ation & dnd 10 more for the fig-' dures one to nine and zeyo. Mytse + code theréfare is not based on sounds or syllables as in Pittman and Gregg shorthand, although . expericnced gsers of Moyse do employ single signals for com- mon words and phrases, borrow- ing them from the Phillips code, Thus press, télegraphers will sig- nal D for "in the" and K for "out of the" and W for "with" and $0 oi.

City-Bred Evacuee Writes About Cows Ernest Brown, Minister of Health in the British Government, recently read the following essay he received from a 10-year-old London Fast End boy who had been evacuated to the country: "Birds and Beast" : The cow is a mamal., It has. six sides, right and left and upper and below. At the back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this he sends flies away: so they: don't fall into the milk. The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so his mouth can be. somewhere... The horns are to butt with and the mouth to moo with, . Under the cow hangs milk, It is arranged for milking. When people - milk, milk comes and there never is an end to the sup- ply. How the cow does it 1 have not - yet realized but it makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell and one can smell it far away. This is the rea- gon for fresh air n the "country, A man cow The cow does not 'eat much but what it eats it eats twice so that jt gets- enough. gry it moos and when nothing at all it is because "insides are full up with grass. it says its FIREWORKS A rack of machine gun cart- ridges is drawn from the stores at the 'Jarvis Bombing 'and Guii- ~nery School, where students "of \ "the Commonwealth Air Training _Plan are tauglit how to draw a bead on Hun aircraft and ground | targets.

"When itis hun- i a aa i EEE At the annual banquet of the Association of Canadian Adver- tisers held at the Royal York Hotel, John Murray Gibbon, Montreal, general publicity agent, Canadian Pacific Railway, was awarded the silver medal of the association for an outstanding contribution to Canadan' advertising by an advertising manager. C. R. Vint, president of the association, presented the medal to Mr. Gibbon on the recommendation of a jury composed of Canadian advertising and promotion executives, headed Rimmer, Toronto, as chairman.

What Science] Is Doing BARITE FOUND IN N.S. A deposit of at least short tons of bharite has been dis- closed by drilling at Pembroke, . Hants county, Nova Scotia, ac- gording to a report to the Depart- ment of Mines and Resources by L. J. Weeks, Ottawa, geologist: of the department. ' . The find is considered of great importance and suggests the pos- sibility of Canada's production of barite being. increased by a hun: _dred-fold, In 1940 the -oulput-was 330 'tons. Barite is required in the drilling ot oll wells. In ground form it gives added weight to the mud In controlling gas pressure. It also is used as a filler In rubber, paper, oilcloth, textiles, leather and plas- tics, and as a pigment and exten- der in paints, A mill capable of treating 150 tons of ore a day or about 45,000 tons a ycar has been erected at Walton, about 21 miles from the deposit in Nova Scotia. Two car- goes of barite, each of about 2,500 - tons, already .have been shipped to Trinidad for use in the oil wells there and 250 tons to Peru. --y-- LOCUST KILLER Bobyleva, a member of the staff of the Russian Tashkent Medical Institute, has succeeded in develop- Inga microbe culture that kills locusts.
