"New Battledress For Englishmen? Britain Considering Two: Piece Outfit for Civilians Now they're talking about a standardized "battledress" for civilian men in' Britain -- a two- piece outfit which would do away with not only the vest but collar and tie, Hugh Dalton, president of the board of trade, the government department which controls the distribution of ration coupons for clothes, is approaching the idea cautiously, = "l cannot commit myself," he said, "but there's a great deal to bo said for a sensible costume which will save material for col- lars and ties." 2 London, whose Savile Row tailors dictated styles for men much as Paris once did for wom- en, shudders slightly at the pos. sibility, But already 100,000 agricul- tural workers have - been fitted with reconditioned outfits, dyed green, and they say they like them. Dalton-----who hasn't used a single clothing ration ¢oupon him- self as yet--says he is going to wait a month or so before mak- ing any decision regarding cut- ting of rations. The Daily Mail, in comment on the proposed two-piece outfit, said: "The battledress has. the ad. vantages of being standardized and it gets rid of the waistcoat (vest), but the board of trade has so far boggled at this violent sartorial regimentation of all men and boys." But then, the Mail adds, "after all, Joseph Stalin, leader of the victorious Russian nation, wears a two-pieco suit with no collar or tie." _. Mountain In Middle Of Atlantic Ocean There's a 12,000-foot mountain that not one in a thousand peo- ple hae ever heard of and nobody has ever sceén. It's called Mount Laura Ethel, and it is in the mid. dle of the Atlantic Ocean. Some years ago when a survey ship was engaged in taking ex- perimental soundnigs between Live erpool and New York in conneo- tion with a projected transatlan- tic cable, the officers found to ¢their amazement that their lead touched bottom in mid-ocean at 200 feet. Investigation revealed the submarine mountain. Soundings in other parts of the _ world _have.revealed other moun: tains "and ranges of mountains corresponding in height and con- tour to the Alps and the Andes, but these are some undersea freaks, In the Pacific, of Chile, is a gigantic needle-like monument rising 5,000 feet from the sea- bed. At its base it is only 80 yards round, and the top is a flat, circu- lar surface no bigger than a cart- wheel. No such monument could "possibly stand alone on dry land freed from its supporting "en- velope' of water. Soviet Air Strength _ In the Marck issue of Skyways, Maj. Nathaniel F. Silsbee, chief of the Research Section, Bureau of Public Relations, says the Ger- mans knew the Russian air strength as far back as 1935, and at that time maintained the only aviation 'in the world capable of conducting warfare for an indef- inite period was that of Russia. In "1937, production, estimated at 600 planes a month, expanded three times that figure, or 20,000 a year. "Today," Major Silsheo writes, "there are only two coun- tries in the world which are eco- nomically independent and in a position _to produce airplanes on a mass scale indefinitely -- Rus- sia and the United States." Mineral Oil Used In Storing Eggs It 'has just been announced by the United States Department of Agriculture that tests recently conducted shoiv that eggs dipped in mineral oil will maintain their freshness to an unusual degree during, storage, says The Huron Expositor. : . It was found that oiledw eggs retained 'more. than - half their 'original quality after eight months of storage, while -unojled eggs in the same period dropped to less than a third of their orig- inal quality, It was further found that oiled oggs which were first exposed to partial vacuum and then to car- ; dioxide gas retained séven- eighths of their original grade at the enid of the storage test. ey England's forestry commission ind 800,000,000 small trees ready 5 planting when the war ends, ALL-BRAN TAUGHT ME SOMETHING ABOUT CONSTIPATION) Have you, too, learned what Ave- BRAN can do to relieve the cause of constipation due to the lack of the right amount of "bulk" in the diet?

"Have You Heard? nr A whimsical professor, trying to emphasize a point in logle, asked his class: "If the United States is bounded on the east 'by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the nérth by Canada and on the south by Mexico, how old am 1?" The brighter students sat dumfound- ed, but the dopiest of them all spoke up: "You'd be 44." Dum- founded in turn, the professor said, "That's right, young man, But how in the world did you know?" The student answered: "That's easy. I have a brother who is half nuts and he's 22." "How kind of you," said the girl, "to bring me those lovely flowers. They are so beautiful and fresh, | believe there is some dew on. them yet." "Yes," stammered .the young man, quite taken aback, "but I am going to pay it off tomorrow." At tho close of his talk before a Sunday school the bishop invit- ed questions, A tiny boy with white, cager®face at once rafsed his hand. "Please sir," said he, "why was - Adam never a baby?" : The bishop coughed, In doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl, the eldest of several brothers and sisters, came prompt- ly to his aid. "Please, sir," she answered,« smartly, "there was nobody to nurse him," "I hope you enjoyed your game with the major," said the hostess to one of her guests. "He's very clever at cards, isn't he?" "He certainly fs," replied the guest. "He started by telling my fortune, and now he's counting it." "Tell me, Doctor, how do you really know whether a person _is insane?" "Oh, we merely ask a few ques- tions which ordinary people can answer correctly," was the reply. "What type of question?" -- "Well," explained tho alienist, "this is the sort of thing: Captain Cook made three voyages around the world and died during one of them. Which trip was it?" "Oh, 1 say," protested the of- ficial, "I think that is a bit steep.- I'm not very good at history." C.N.R. 'Biggest In N.

A case in point is the common pail. Formerly many of these were made of metal. Today, how- ever, wood is proving a wholly acceptable substitute, The Keenan Woodenware Manufacturing Co. Ltd, of Owen Sound is playing an important role in this release of metal for war purposes by the production of wooden pails. This company has increased its produe- tion of wooden pails by approxi- mately 75 per. cent. It is now manufacturing about 20,000 wooden pails every week. It is easy to visualize the amount of metal which this production reé- leases for other purposes, whera wood vould not prove an accept- able substitute, Need More Wood These wooden pails are manu. factured from poplar and bass. wood, which are plentiful in the + Owen Sound district. Neverthe- less, there is a dangerous bottle- neck developing in wooden palit production. Increased production by the Keenan Woodenware Mfg. Co., has, of course, resulted in a greatly increased use of wood. A shortage of this raw material has now developed. Wood is available in the bush, but unless farmers and others in the district co-operate in getting this wood to the factory the production of wooden pails will decrease. This, in turn, will mean diverting preci- ous metal from the production of planes, tanks and guns. Farmers and bush owners in the district have been doing a fine job in the supply of wood, .but more is needed. Prices paid for timber are higher today than at any time in recent years, provid. ing an attractive return for this work. Higher prices coupled with the fact that every wooden pail produced is a distinct aid. to the war effort of the Dominion, should provide incentive for increasing the production of wood. More than half the world's uranium ore, from which radium is derfved," comes from the Bel- gias Congo, Fig trees which produce latex from which' rubber is made have - winning the war, been found in Australia.

A Censor As Cupid One of the town's glamorous young creatures, engaged to a sol- dier now in .parts unknown, re- ceived a letter from him written in a tone of gloomy renunciation, says the New Yorker. With his absence dragging on into its sec- ond year, the lad wrote, he would not blame her if she broke her engagement to him and married somebody 'else at home. This had apparently been too much for the censor, who had put his comment in the margin, in large block let- ters: "NONSENSE!" ' 5.

He finished two hvurs and forty min- utes later During that time he - completely reconstructed the man's entire larynx '-- neyer hur- ried, never hesitating, never los- ing his patience or presence of mind despite the obvious fact that the man might easily die at any moment; he worked steadily and with 1ufinite care, Three times he gave blood transfusions (1 incidentally hold- ing the needle in the vein because he didn't dare fasten it for fear it might have to be moved at any moment in the event of a clot), Then he performed a_ tracheo- tomy in which he inserted an ar. tificial windpipe (perhaps one of your doctor friends will describe it to you so that you can under. stand what I'm trying to picture), . and then he had to do an intricate: operation on the man's shoulder and chest. ' . INAPIPE! Picobac IT DOES TASTE GOOD GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARID Should Allies Police: _Germany After War? ~ James W. Gerard, ambassador of the United States to Germany during the Great War, is out- spoken, on a subject that is being widély discussed today, the treat- ment of Germany after the war, says The Galt Reporter. Speaking at New York, he said: "International. bankers make me sick, I heard onc suy that we need, after the war, a happy, prosperous Germany. After the last war we kissed the good, kind Germans, gave them food and good United States money, and they repaid us by a gangster war to control the world and started a persecution of a peaceful people which has no parallel even in the TRUCKING INTO TUNISIA middle ages." Mr, Gerard thinks that it will be necessary for the Allied na. tions to police Germany after the war, "otherwise Germans will be torn to pieces by the revenge of the outraged peoples of Europe." Many people are thinking that the conflagration envisaged! by Mr, Gerard, in his last quotation, would not be a bad solution to the German problem. Why not leave the gangsters to the mercy of those whom they have despoil- ed in the worst outbreak of bru. tality and inhumanity that has 'ever been recorded in history?
