-- Western Farmers Grow Sunflowers Seeds Are Valuable For OIl, Says Maclean's Magazine Wheat, for so many genérations king of all prairie crops, has a new rival The product that may prove a strong competitor of Western Canada's grain harvest is--of/all things -- sunflower seod, valuable for its oil. Beforg the war Canada jmported large quantities of sun- flower seed oil) regarded as second? only in quality to-olive oil. Now supplies are shut off, and Western wheat farmers are being encour- aged to plant at least part of thelr areage with senflowers. 500 Pounds to Acre J. Gordon Ross, MP, who farms at Flowing Well, near Morse, Sask, and not far from Swift Current, planted more than 200 acres of sunflowers last spring. In the fall, despite adverse weather, he harvested a paying crop, yielding close to 500 pounds of good well: filled seed to the acre. The Federal Department of Agriculture, in conjunction with the -Oils and Fats Administrator, has guaranteed a price of six cents a pound for all sunflower seed the praivies can raise. . Dominion Ex- perimental Farms are developing sunflower seed strains suited to local conditions and feriners are being urged, once that seed be- comes available, to plant large areas of sunflowers this spring. Machinery at present in use to harvest grain crops is easily adapt- ed to cropping sunflowers. Princl- pal uses for sunflower seed oil in- clude the manufacture of shorten- ing for cooking, as a substitute for olive oil used for medical purposes and for making explosives. . Saw Mill Taken a eo To Alaska By Air Fleet of Cargo Planes Fly Loads to Alaska For many months Northwest Airlines has Leen operating a flect of argo planes for the army air transport command, flying loads to Alaska. United, American and 'Pennsylvania Central" air lines rid Arne, in Flying Magazine. These air freighters, Curtiss C-24 Commandoes, are big. They even have two floors. The lower floor is loaded through doors in the beliy. The second floor is so high- from the ground that it has to be loaded by a special truck which has an elevator that hoists the cargo in through the door. --- They've had some queer jobs on this amazing sky express. For example, remember when the hos- pital at Nome burned? For obvi- ous reasons no Alaska town can afford to be without a hospital, Nome needed a new one. And quick. Hospital Flown In : Northwest loaded a 24-bed hos- pital into just two planes, from X-ray machines and beds to hypo needles and jubber gloves, and had it in Nome two days after the old one burned. One day the army needed a sawmill pronto. They phoned "there's no road to the place, We can't take time to build one. Can you fly it in?" =~ "You load it, we'll fly it," said Croil Hunter, president of the line. That mill--saws, belts, ma- chinery--was packed into one plane. It got there. "This cargo haul to Alaska isn't the only such job going on. But it may be -the biggest such pro- Ject at the moment. . The flying has to be done over unbroken bush country, and that means danger. It means cutting "down forests, leveling ground, making runways, in country that's more wild and lonesome than any- _ thing within our borders. Loading Systematic The cargo planes can carry either freight or troops. A series of bolts can convert them in less than an hour to big hospital ships with four tiers of bunks, The walls are lined with little metal "bucket seats" for troop carrying jobs. The seats button up to the wall when _ the plane carries freight. The loading of the planes. is systematic. Obviously the freight can't roll around, and it must be balanced. The interiors of the planes have been divided--on' paper-- fnto 700 "units," Each unit was plotted for the pounds it could carry, Now the, freight is weighed on the ground and loaded with ropes to dozens of metal loops that lines the walls and ceilings of the cabins, | There's a special sput to the en who are blazing this air trail. oy. know; and 'anyone who ean read a map knows, that the route they're now. making could be ex- tended.

Isn't it bad manners to let one's mind wander while some- one is talking with you. 3, If a person asks you how old you are, or what your salary is, or some such question, what should you reply? 4, For what use only is the nap- kin at the dinner table? 5. When a customer in a shop fs buying something that is not being worn the current season, shouldn't the saleswoman tell her? 6. When asking a person to repeat a remark is it all right to say "What?" or "I beg your par- don, what did you shay?" ANSWERS 1. It is a nice thing to do, The refreshments are usually served after the rehearsal at the home, of the bride, or the groom invites the little party of attendants to some eating place, 2. Yes. One should strive to he a good listen- er, though it is often difficult when the speaker _is an egoist, or describing in detail his last operation, 3. "There are some questions that I prefer not to answer." It is only a very rude, tactless person who would ask such questions. 4; Only for wip- ing the lips. It is not for the cheeks, perspiration or the nose. The napkin should be lifted as inconspicuously as possible to the mouth and lightly brushed across the mouth, and then replaced upon the lap. 6. It is better not, unless the customer asks the direct question. 6.,No; "I'm sorry, but I didn't understand" is much more courteous, HOW CAN 1? 77? Q.

IDET 4 Might Kill Menace With Faster Ships Vice-Admiral Craig Waller in London Daily Telegraph No one, so far as I am aware, has attempted' to controvert my claims: . (a) That we can practically kill the U-boat menace by building cargo ships and tankers of 16 knots or more instead of concen- trating on the shapeless "ugly duckling" 10-knotter, The "fast ship. would be easily manocéuvred in a tight situation and would hold her speed in rough weather. She would deliver her cargo in half the time of the slow ship, and .fewer ships, therefore, would be required to do the job, (b) That aircraft are useless either as protectors of cargo ships or destroyers of subniarines at night or in thick weather, and, moreover, lack the potent wea- pons of the ram and the heavy Q.F. gun with which to kill the U-boat. a ' Experts have convinced me that the design and construction of fast cargo vessels and tankers by methods is a practical proposition, and that with Diesel engines the fuel con- ma Jiffy ITCH oot Foe quick relief from itching of eczema, pimples, ath- lete's foot, scales, scabies, rashes and oth AT} STOPPED sumption would not be mde than 25 per cent per day greatdr than that of the 10-knot, Scotch boiler, - ships now _reciprocating-engine building.
