From The 'Royal Mounted Police Quarterly Who was 'It that coined the phtase "They Always Get Their Man"? Ever siuce the days of the North West Mounted: Police, near: ly every member of the force has been looking for him, but - he 'hasn't been found. He's: the man we want, though, This thoughtless «liche was probably intended as a compliment, but it hag grow foto an unshakable Aogan. Radio com- mentators, public speakers and authors repeat the time-tattered catch-phfrase with sickening per- plstence, Préss agents jump at ft, fiction writers revel in it, movles perpétuate it. For cartoonists, a favorite gag is the picture of a "bearded, tottery old man in red serge who has been away for years on a man-hunt and returns at last, with the criminal's skele- ton under his arm. Real Motto And then there's the one about the two old maids accosting the resplendent young Mounted Po- liceman and asking him "How do you do it?" The unfortunate thing about this penny-dreadfuvl slogan is that many unthinking people look upon it as the motto of the force. But as one policeman puts it, "When. ever I heard the remark, 'They Always Get Their Man', [ feel like Tom Sawyer would if he were being kissed in public by his sis. ters, or having his hair slicked down by his aunt in full view of the spectators at a ball game." It is to be hoped that "They Always Get Their Man" will dle a natural death, and that the real motto, Maintiens le Droit will be- como better P uuow), May Carry Ocean ) Freight By Planes Grover Loening, consulting en- gineer of the Grumman Aircraft Corporation and a noted aircraft designer, predicted that cargo planes would replace ocean-going ships in carrying the world's heavy freight immediately after the war, or sooner if the war lasted many years. = Mr. Loening saia that for trans- port purposes the air was about to take over the carrying oper- ations of the land and sea, prin- cipally because of air speed. He decared gliders would be used as freight cars. : "We can visualize a locomotive plane that -can leave La Guardia Field with a train of six gliders in the very near future," he told three hundred persons at a dinner of the Foreign Commerce Club, "One glider could unhitch over - Philadelphia, another at 'Washing. ton and so on." He asserted that 40,000 B-19 planes, the largest now flying and capable of carrying 20-ton loads at 260 miles an hour would be able to replace "the whole enormous ton-mile carrying cap- acity of all the ships of the world available to us." Roosevelt Warns War Will Be Long President Rossovels recently re. iterated an opinion that the wat would be a. long one, and cau- tioned against over-optimism one week and over-pessimism the next, The war, public opinion and the news go up and down with things that appear big at the moment, he told a press conference, but the' more that can be done to prevent this, the better it is for the war effort. The fluctuations, he said, are caused by a tendency toward over-statement on the part of the American. people. "Do you think censorship should pass some bad news?" he was asked . - "Yes," he replied, "as soon as it does not affect military oper- ations, There is only one reason for withholding bad news and that is that to release it might create more bad news." "Oh_.my, yes," he ejaculated, in rely to an inquiry as to whe- ther the ship-sinking situation was not still "pretty serious". ee 'Blind 'Men Helping In Plane Industry Blind nien, some of them blind- ed in this war, are making good on jobs in the British aircraft ine. dustry, it is revealed in a British Journal, "Acroplane, So great is the concentration of these men on their jobs, notes _ Science Service, that they work faster than men with sight, it is reported. The men were em- "ployed by Philips and Powig Air« craft, Limited, as an éXperiment. Now they are being kept on bes cause they are doing really valu- able work, and' the- employment of the blind is recommended to other aircraft concerns. Canadian No Supply Ship For Hong Kong The Argentine Foreign Office had announced that Japan had ag- reed to permit an International Red Cross representative to visit Hong Kong to inspect the -treat- ment of British 'and Canadian prisoners, but had rejected a pro- posal for sending a Red Cross supply ship. Argentine represented the Un- iw Kingdom's interests in Japan witil April 29, and then withdrew at London's request after the Un- ited Nations decided. to make a unified representation' ' through Switzerland, . . A_ communique' said the Japan- eso had refused to mllow a Red ~ Cross ship' to' go to Singapore and Hong"Kong begause of "rea- sons related with security of nav- igation in that zone." It added that the Argentine embassy in Tokio had reported a success in negotiating for the establishment of postal services for the interned soldiers and ci- vilians, Andy Anderson we Says =e pont YOU CET LEFT Without Essential Transportation!

Reaches 1928 Peak The Canadian Pacific Railway has reached the volume peak of 1928, but its facilities are nol overtaxed and can handle 'consid- erably more traffic. The move- ment of war supplies to the sea- board will be limited in scope only by the bottleneck in trans. shipming the gouds ocean, A surplus of rolling stock built up in. the pre-depression years' is 'now being utilized, but the chief problem is manpower for the railroad. These were some of the obser- vations made by D. C. Coleman of Montreal, newly chosen presi- dent of the C.P.R. in a recent interview. If the volume of business con- tinues to climb upward, bringing about augmented train ments, the manpower problem will become sharp, Mr. Coleman said, when asked what he con- : sidered was one of the chief prob- lems confronting the railroad. He did not think there would be large-scale employment of women by the C.P.R. to offset the short- age of, men. Surplus of Rolling Stock "We can handle more freight he said with 'a smile. "We have the rolling stock, and there is ho shortage of locomo- tives. We have a number on order now. Before the outbreak of war, we had a large surplus of rolling stock and we still have some surplus left. It was the re- sult of the planning which all 'businesses must do. "The volume of business is gov- erned to some extent by sea trans- portation," Mr, Coleman pointed out. "The bottleneck is whether the supplies moved to the sea- tpard by the railroads can be moved from there. We haven't got the storage facilities in this country that the United States has, and we are moving goods under a permit system which takes into account the movement of goods overseas from the sea- board. Otherwise, we would have been swamped long ago." Mr. Coleman expressed doubt that the government would re- strict passenger travel by rail to one hundred miles. He said the C.P.R. could handle increased passenger traffic and would likely do so in the event of bus travel being -sharply- curtailed. As far as air fravel is concern- ed, Mr, Colenan said the fature of air t-avel aud transport wis not being overlooked by the rail- roads. Post-War Readjustment "We are operating many air services at the present time and we hope to improve them as time "These air services are not competitive with the Trans-Canada Airlines but act as supplementary to existing ways of transportation, At the pres- ent time we are carrying freight into the sub-Arctic regions and from ong cane, Sot, urns, lo'a Fo, Sore Muscle, SrA "ah A: fort-och iT S Ing remedy.

Mr, Coleman said the C.P.R. also op- crated three air training schools, two in the West and one at Mal- ton, No. 1 Air Observers' School, These training centres are run in conjunction with the Common- wealth Air Training Plan, He foresaw a trying per- iod of readjustment in the post- war period. The agony and suf- fering of war, he stressed, "does not end with the signing of the peace." "It is wise to have Er, plans in the back of our minds, but we should not concentrate too much on them," declared Mr. Coleman. "We have got to win this war first, and we haven't begun to do that, though things look a little better now." : "Boys, First Class" Of Fighting Navy It happened in a merchant ship. She was a passenger liner and she was attacked by enemy bom- bers. 'She had, as members of her crew, two lads at sea for the firat time. They were laundry--boys. These two laundry boys, new . to the sey, went to their ao- tion stations and an incendiary bomb fell into some bales. of gleal near them. That Inflamninb 5 Ta. terial blazed up at once, Bog. those two lads showed such in- itiative and courage that they had the fire under control befors, the regular. fire-fightldg parties reach ed the spot. A few moments later one of a stick of high-explosive bombs dropped by the enemy fell; near them, and it failed to explods The captain knew it would be dangers i} ous to attempt to move It, so'k called for volunteers to smother it with sandbags. The same two laundry boys were the first to get to the spot with their sandbags ready. They did not get any medals. They got a special commendation from the King. They hadn't 'any fancy 'names like Casablanca - to Inspire: §. But the names of young MF. J, 'Wiggins and young Mr. A. McLsllan are worth re- membering. a In the fighting Navy they have a rattling good name for - sugh lads. They are rated as, "Boy, First Class," and first class they are, navy, midshipman, apprentice, es det or just boy.

A little Scottish boy was wp the other day before the exam- fners for the Navy; the examina tion was viva voca, desigued to discover signs of "general intelli gence", They asked the boy what he knew about the battle of Flod- den. He said "Nothing", "What!" they said. "Don't you W Any thing about the battle' in which the English beat the Scotch?"

She called at his surgery | with her hand badly inflamed and-swollen, The following dialogue, opened by the doctor, took place: "Burn?" "Bruise." "Poultice." The next day the woman called again, and the dialogue was as follows: "Better?" "Worse." "More poultices." Two days later the woman made another call. "Better?" "Well, Fee?" "Nothing.

"Do you know who I am?" shouted the irate general to the Australian who had neglected to salute him, "Do you know who I am?" he persisted, as the soldier looked blankly at him, "Here, boys," said the Austra- lian, turning to his friends. "Here is something good. A general who doesn't know his own name." Caller: "Well, well, so your name is Janie and you're five years old.. What do you plan doing when you get as big as your mother?"

Polish Preserves Wooden Furniture Good Polish Will Seal Sur face and Protect'lit Wooden furniture, that might have been replaced. in ordinary times, should now be treated with special care to make It last. Its chief enemies are summer moisture and the dry heat of homes and apartments 'in winter, They cause loose joints, loosening of veneer, warping and cracking. Best protection against both 1s a good ofl or polish that will seal the surface and preserve ft. An inexpensive polish can be made by mixing one part turpen- tine with two parts of boiled ln- seed oil. Use at least twice a year on furniture that 1s varnished or oiled. The turpentine in the mix. ture will loosen the dirt, and the oil will penetrate the wood porés and keep the wood in good com- dition. Apply with a soft® cloth, Wipe off excess with a clean cloth, then fold this cloth over and rub the surface until it is entirely dry and fingers will leave. no marks. It the wood is badly soiled wash with a mixture of three table. spoons of boiled linseed oil and one tablespoon of turpentine in. a quart of hot water, then polish, Little scratches can be concealed with {odine or rubbing with nut meat, such as walnut, White spots on varnished furniture caused by water or hot dishes can be re- moved by rubbing with spirits of camphor or essence of pepper- mint, Housewives Asked For Co-Operation Here are the new food ration- ing regulations announced in a broadcast to the women of Can- ada recently by Donald Gordon, chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board: Sugar: Half a pound per person per week, Tea: Individual consumption must be cut by one-half, Coffee: Individual consumption must be cut by one-quarter. Housewives were asked by Mr. "Gordon to see that these cuts are obeyed. Thosé who vidiate the regula- tions will be prosecuted.

SECRET GAS If Hitler should introduce gas he United States is prepared to retaliate with "Lewisite,"" a secret gas "more deadly" than any used in the" Great War, gccording to its inventor, Prof. Ww Lee Lewis, of Chicago, The Toronto Telegram relates, Lewis, former University professor, time colonel of the Chemical War- fare Service, said the U, 8, War Department for twenty-five years had kept secret the formula for a gas whose importance "two de- cades of research have failed to erase," He explained: "It is more humane than mus- Northwestern --tard and other gases used in the First World War, in that its dead- ly effectiveness reacts more quickly. "Lowisite is infinitely superior to World War 1 gases in several respects, The gas has a low freezing point, and can be used . Ane. in remarkably cold regions. other important factor is that an area contaminated with the gas remains contaminated for a long period of time." Rain or, moist atmosphere will not dissipate' its force," Adaptability The lady is calm and cool as an icicle; _ If she can't get gas she can pedal her bicycle, -A vehicle none should presume to disparage, And if that's in use she can drive the carriage. Should. the carriage be gthorwise occupied, Who cares when the horses are there ta ride!
