-- re Red Cross Asks Help For Russia An émergency appeal for $500, 000 for medical and relief 'supplies for Soviet Russia has been' launch- ed by the Canadian Red Cross. "The fynds ralsed in this appeal will be used to purchase medical' supplies and surgical equipment, which will be shipside direct to Russia via Britain," declared Dr. | F. W. Routley, national commis- ""sloner df the Society, One of the things handicapping Russia today he pointed out fis the lack of modern' 'medicines, surgical instruments and operating room * suppifes which are so vitally necessary to" combat disease and suffering under war conditions of guch gigantic scale. The Red Cross has already sent a vast quantity' of its own supplies to the Soviet Union," Dr. Routley sald, and a cable has been receliv- ed stating that over one million | artivles of relief supplies have'lelt Britain for Russia. 'This includes important drugs and field com- forts. World's Longest Telephone Line The world's longest telephone line, the carrier system covering the entire breadth of the Soviet Union, is among the first recipi- ents of British supplies for Rus- gia. The system stretches for 6,000 miles from Moscow across Siberia to Khabarowsk, just north of Vladivostok. Several conver- sations can be carried over it on the one line, a great economy for long distances. Maintenance equipment is now "on its way from the British tele- phone engineers who were given the original contract. They were also responsible for the network of defence communications which played such a large part in win- ning the Battle of Britain last year. The present order was given in February last and delivery was promised for this autumm. New Zealand Sets Record For Loyalty To the average Canadian, says -the Kitchener Record, the British ° dominion of New Zealand, 1,200 miles to the south-east of far away Australia, almost seems as if it were on another planet, Sel- dom does news come from this state, way down in the vast ex-~ panse of the Pacific. It has only 1,640,900 inhabi- tants." But it has enrolled almost one-fifth- ofits population in de- fence services. There are 80,000 in the armed services, including army, navy and air forces at home "and abroad, 138,000 in other home military defence units and 95,000 in civil defence organizations. New Zealand has set a record for loyalty to a causé. It has fully realized the dangers to itself re- sulting from the robber union of Germany, Italy and Japan. Great Many Dimes Never Come Back The Mint at Washington has a mystery. "What happens to all the half- dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels "and pennies produced by the: world's largest coin factory? The bulk of them never turn up for resmelting. + "For example," said the super- -- intendent; "inthe year ending July, 1941, we sent out $33,000,- 000 worth of sub-silver (halfs, quarters and dimes) and $17,000,- 000 worth of the minor coins (nickels and pennies). "Do you know what we had re- turned 7--$3,000,000 worth of the 'subsilver and $225, 000 'orth of - + 'the minor." It may be, that people who are now earning good salaries are'. carrying more coins around with them, Another answer, could be: the "more widespread use of vending and slot machines, for operators ,of the devices have to keep siz- able amounts for change-making. Then, too, "thousands of the smaller coins are lost every year and 'never found." Canada To Have: _A "Young" Army | -* PRE Canada inténds to have a "young" army.

What Science Is Doing CLOTHES AND AIR" CONDITIONING "If women would dress in Win- ter In clothes that are compar- able in_warmth-to-those- of men - they would .be comfortable in a temperature of 72F. instead of 76F." write Dr, C, P. Yaglou and Miss Anee Messer in the Journal of the American Medical Associn- tion. They arrived at this rather obvious conclusion by experiment- ing with men and women employ- ees of the Harvard School of Pub- lic Health, in-an effort to discover "a way of getting over the diffi- culty presented by the double comfort standard presented by air conditioning. --) HEAT-TAPESTRY Electric filaments of sub-glow temperature are now - interwoven with spun glass and other insul- ating materials on great looms.

Years ago, a benevolent lady living in San Gabriel canyon couldn't take her goldfish with her so she found a good home for them turning the fish loose in the lake, Now the situation is so serious that Turner and the state fish and game conimission plan an exter- mination campaign, Large bags will be filled with a mixture of mud and powdered timbo root from South America. The mixture will drug the lake and paralyze the gills of all fish. They will float to the top to be gathered off in boats. Some fish will get a new start in another lake.

It is often rather difficult to remove gelatin mixtures from the . mould. In this case, dip a clean cloth into warm water, place under the mould for ten seconds--no longer.

F lying Tanks _ Russians are using "flying tanks" or '"tank-planes" in ground strafing attacks on Ger- man airfields and columns, Nazi propaganda company reporters said recently. The heavily-armor- ed planes, . designed exclusively for low- level strafing, were said to be Russia's newest type JR2 machines. The Nazi reporters ad- mitted German fighter "planes had pumped "enormous quantities" of bullets into the planes with little effect. The Airplane Goes Higher, and Higher When Sir Freferiek Banting was killed in a plane crash, says the Windsor Star, he 'was. in the midst" of experiments to discover some way to permit plane pilats to go up to 40,000 feet. and higher, The human being can go only #20 high without requiring stimu- lation of some sort to live, Most pilots can go to 15,000 feet and fight their planes for an hour at that altitude. Dut, when a pilot gets t0.25,000 feet he can survive for half an hour without oxygen, But, when he reach" 35,000 feet, he has to breathe 100 percent oxygen to live. Some method is sought to allow the pilots to go higher still. The Nazis are working on a schema that will permit the German pilots to go to 650,000 fect and live and fight their planes. They have not worked out the formula yet, and the British and Americans are hoping to find the secret first. - Higher and higher goes the war, and the pilots who can go the - highest have an advantage on their enemy. 'Germans Called Goosestep Fliers In 'the comments of British fighting piivts-on- the German ratde-- ers Is probably found the seciet, which not a few people have heen seeking, of the superiority of our aerial fighters, man for man, over their German opponents. Tho RAF. men call the Nazis "zeoze- step fliers." They find that they are superb performegs when in for. mation and under strict command, but they become confrsed and un- sure of themselves when the squadrons are hroken up and they are on their own. Here 1s to be found, perhaps, the fundamental weakness of the Nazi system, and even of the "whole" Teutonic" character. The Nazis have simply stressed and intensified the German flair for regimentation. They have tried to make every fighting force a ma- chine, It mfakes for efficiency in the mass, but it is deadly to in. dividual initiative It is the factor, In fact, which will untimately win the war for us, When a British force, on land, In the air or at sea, fs broken up and disorganized by enemy action, each unit and each man becomes 'a tighting machhie of 'Itseif. They are, in fact, most dangerous when fsolated. Such disorganfzition spells disaster for the mass-mind- ed Germans, That, in its briefest form, is why our fighters are bet. ter and always will be." ..CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS...
