Actually, - these modernistie tubs will be only one of hundreds of new products being developed from plastics which are, largely made from wood pulp, Other new houschold products already planned or in production derived from plastics dre colored lava- tories, faucet handles, door knobs, sinks, cabinets, cups, dishes and pipes---used- for plumbing, -- Piping made from plastics is so flexible that it will not burst it water is frozen in it. Supply Inexhaustible Unlike metals which comprise an exhaustible source of raw ma- terials, the 'basic material for these gleaming new plastic prod uct§ is virtually inexhaustible, A single tree could furnish enough pulp for the plasties necessary to make 1,000 sets of dishes, And long before these dishes were broken a dozen trees could be grown again to replace. them. House-building will top the list of users of forest products in the postwar era to come. But more and more in near-at-hand .emer- gencies, plastics are being used in the making of automobiles, textiles, freight cars, steamships, and airplanes. And the jgrrowing trees are also being called upon to furnish materials for synthetic fuels for automobiles, planes, and even food can be made out of trees, it is said. Story Of Escape From Netherlands Men Flee To England To Fight With British Forces When the Netherlands fell, Tn. fantry Licutenant Dirk Ter Beek was determined to escape. LAL last; in. April, 1941, he managed to slip into Belgium, With three friends he reached the Spanish border, but found it mountable obstacle, The twenty-seven-year-old lieut- "enant then returned to Holland to try the Channel Hunted by German patrols, he worked his way back, and found some Dutch boys equally bent on escaping to England. . N . an .unsur- They obtained a fast motor- boat which they concealed inside a barge, Under the pretext of fetching potatoes for the German troops, they succeeded in bring- ing their barge to the coast of Zeeland. In a small inlet, con- necting with the a, they spent two days laboring to hoist the motorboat from the barge. It was a moonlit night when they set out, keeping close to the sha- dow of the river bank PI. Now was the moment to start their motor. It sputtered, crack- ed--and died. The noise aroused the attention of a Nazi patrol, - Shouts of "Halt! Wer da?" came over the water. Lieutenant Ter. Beek shouted back: Wehrmacht!" (German troops.) "Come alongside!" they were or- dered, "We are coming," ans- wered the licutapant, "but first "we'll have to start our motor," * * After a few minutes they dis- covered the cause of the engine failure. 'Another attempt to start --the motor sprang into high gear, A small. smoke bomb screened their, getaway. Thirteen and a half hours later they entered. a British port. . . Lieutenant Ter Beek and two of his -seven-comrades-went-into--| the R.A.F. One joined the Dutch Brigade in England, two the army in the East Indies. One joined the merchant marine and one the Commandos, When Queen Wilhelmina arriv- ed in the United States recently, one of her two aides-de-camp was Pilot Officer Dirk Ter Beck. Figures Of Dieppe Losses Not Given Prime Minister Churchill, re- plying to a member of the House -of Commons who asked for "the total number of 'casualties among our troops at Dieppe," declared it is not the practice to give exact. figures of casualties in men or material sustained in individual "operations. "I gee no reason to depart from practice in the present instance," he added.' : _crossing, |. "Deutsche |. MEMO TO DRIVERS FROM FDR 200% TIRE WEAR VS. CAR SPEED LIEV - Ths is worl fu Wp ar, Al at. Sf aOR ATs? = sactiy fog "os raat Aes a Ar hngued-- EXPECTED TIRE LIFE an hour, This tire-life chart so impressed Seale Roosevelt that he asked his secretary to put it "before the eyes and ears of all drivers all over the country." The President's copy of the chart, w hich was prepared by the automobile and rubber inddstry committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers, is shown above, It reveals that a tire's normal life is doubled when driving speed is reduced from 40 to 20 miles HOW CAN I? Q. How can I polish out small scratches on glass? A. They may be partially pol- ished out by rubbing with rouge wet with water upon a piece of soft leather. However, if the scratches are deep, it. will be necessary to grind them out with the finest flour emery, such as that used by opticians, and the spot polished with rouge and water in a piece of soft leather. Q. Hw can I remove calcimine? A, Ordinary calcimine may be washed off with water. However, if neccessary, add some alkaline- substance such as soap powder, ammonia, trisodium phosphate, or borax, to the water. | Q. How can I loosen the dirt when soaking curtains? A. A half-cup of salt added to the water in which curtains are being soaked loosens the dirt more rapidly and aids materially in the laundering. Q. How can I repair a leak In the rubber hot water bottle? A. By applying several pieces of liquid court plaster, letting cach piece dry before applying the next, and making cach picee a little larger than the preceding one. Q. What is the best method of cleaning eye glasses? ~~ A. By first moistening the tips of the fingers, rubbing them over a_cake of soap, and then rubbing them over the sides of the lens. Polish as usual. Cold cream or vascline are also very good cleans- ers. Rub well afterwards with tissue paper. "Bring Your Scrap And Cook A Jap" The scrap heap, now beginning to tower on many a village green, invites the antiquarian to linger ~_for_a_ pensive moment, remarks | The New York Times. ~ "Bring your scrap and cook a Jap," says a sign rising above a huge old iron cauldron that reminds of the departed days of home-made soap. The horse-and-buggy age is well _represented; one sees bridle bits, wagon wheel jacks and tires, horseshoes shiny from being tossed at iron stakes, carriage lamps still "holding their candle" stubs, and a metal currycomb, There are doorstep mud-scrapers, a fireplace crane, the frame of a boneshaker bicycle, a rusty anvil and a Civil War cistern pump. Numerous are heavy iron pots and kettles with legs to hold them out of the flame, and flatirons that needed strong and devoted hands to push thém. Treasured, or at least saved, for generations, these Have You Heard? A new system of memory train- ing was being taught in a village school, and the teacher was be- coming enthusiastic, "For instance," he said, "sup- posing you want to remember the name of a poet--Bobby Burns. "Fix in your mind's eye a- picture of a policeman in flames. - See-- Bobby Burns?" "Yes, I see," said a bright pupil, "But how is one to know it does not represent Robert Browning?"

Every dol- lar spent may represent a life or more saved, Building of the machine, largest yet erected for the freezing and drying of plasma, will put Britain ahead in a field of science which is being diligently studied, for peace as well as war, by all fight. ing nations. It was made possible through a gift to the Medical Re- search Council by trustees of the Jate millionaire chemist, Sir Henry Wellcome. Retains Quality Indefinitely The machine resembles a giant refrigerator coupled to a group of tall cylinders. Through a new process discovered by British scie entists, it will freeze and dry cach week the blood gifts of 10,- 000 donors, Next week--or even eight years from now--the frozen dried plasma will give life to siek and wounded in any climate, be- cause it retains its quality indef- initely, Dried plasma is saving lives In Egypt today, and British war- ships, fighting their way to Rus- sia, or Malta, carry the flake-like substance to save lives in the middle of intense actions or rag- ing gales, British blood also flows in the veins of many Chinese soldiers, wounded in the never-ceasing fight against Japan. To reach "the Chinese the blood gifts from Britain are sent thousands of miles by air and sea and pass through all kinds of temperatures. Yet the plasma remains perfect. Spin-Freezing The new plasma plant' will pro- duce 3,600 units, frozen dried and ready for use, weekly. The freez- ing and drying process is known as spin-freezing. A bottle con- taining liquid plasma is fitted on a shaft which rotates at high speed. _ The contents; whirling in a bottle, forms a cone, giving the low temperature a greater exe panse of liquid to freeze. Sud- denly the plasma freezes and the liquid is drawn out under a high 'vacuum process, leaving only the golden, dry plasma flakes. Then ~ the! bottle is scaled, ready for use, Pretty Doggy' new friend in England in this scrappy mascot of -the Royal Artillery. Britain Ships Gun Factory To U. S.

When a hostess and three guests have sat down for a game of bridge, and a fifth friend drops in, what should the hostess do? 2," When introducing two men, is it proper to say, "Mr, Baker, this is my friend, Mr, Harris?" 3. In what position should a person hold his head while eating at the table? ' 4. When one has been invited to a party, or other affair, and after accepting he contracts 'a severe cold, what should he do? 5. Is it permissible for a guest, to open a conversation with an- other guest when there has been no introduction? 6. What does it indicate when a man.carries on a conversation with a cigarette dangling from his lips? Answers 1. The hostess should either in- vite the guest to take her place, or suggest some other game such persons can play. 2, No; this would imply that Mr. Baker is not' a friend. 3. The head should be held in an erect position, without appearing stiff. The body can" lean forward slightly, but the head should never be .bent at a right angle. 4. Phone the hostess and express how sorry you are that you cannot attend. You are being considerate not only of your own welfare, but also of the other people if you remain at home. 6. Yes, this is a very nice thing to do. 6. Laziness, as well as ill. breeding, He probably considers it useless exertion to lift his hand and remove the cigarette, Surplus Of Rice Problem Of Japs vJapan Loses Large Market Of Rice-Importing- Countries Rice, a great deal too much of it, offers the "makings" of a new economid, lteadache to Japan, as a result pf the conquest of the world's principal rlce-producing areas In Indo-China, Burma and Thailand, Science Service points out. These countries together grow nine billion pounds of rice a year; tho import requirements of all the lands now under Japan. eso domination are less than four countries that formerly imported heavily from the great rice-produc- ing region were India and Ceylon (4,500,000,000 pounds), Europe (2, 500,000,000), the rest ot the world something over 1,000,- 000,000 'pounds a year. All this Japs hold the region, explains F. J. Rositer in "Far Eastern Sur. vey," New York. The peoples of the great rice peninsula are going to be as badly up against it as the wheat farm- ers of this continent were during the worst of the depression, when they could not sell thelr crops for money to buy overalls and Rice can't be stored with any great success In that hot, humid region, Probably the greater part of the crop will rot In the bins.
