| Overnight Hops : Across Atlantic , Ferry Pilot Predicts Hourly ' : Service After the War I recently talked with a ferry pilot who "has crossed the Atlan: tic more than a hundred times, > writes I. S. B. Shapiro in To- ronto Saturday Night. He tells me air technique has mastered the North. Atlantic almost completely : except in the heavigst mid-winter * weather. "When peace allows "the full use of radia all the way across and we can afford sig motored ships with scaled-in cab- i ins for high altitude flying," he | told me, "there will be no type i of weather we cannot master." . «It is his prediction that thers will bo hourly service across the Atlantie aftey the war on a 16- hour schedule from point to point. « «But what, I asked, will happen i to steamships for passenger use? § oo. UE think" he said, "the day § of the superliner is over. Wo will : always need cargo. ships, and a few passenger liners of a modest size--say 20,000 tons. There will always be people who would rath. } er cross the ocean in a ship, Even ! an airman will admit there 1s something attractive . about an ocean voyage. Dut the passenger liner, at least across the North Atlantic, will be scoarded in the same way as we now regard a horse carriage for a ride through y . the park. It's atice if you can spare I the time to disregard 4 taxi," . . A i What about airline fares? . . , "In 3 free competition," he said, "an ------airlre--will-bo-able to underbid a steamer by about 50 per cent. It now costs about $700 to get across tho Atlantic by air but this is due mostly to the war emergency. Af- ter the war I don't think it will cost more than 3100 for an over night hop across the Atlantic."

How can I keep a piece of wallpaper for future use, and make it fade the same as that on the wall? *% A. After papering a room, take a piece of leftover wallpaper and tack it in the attic where it is exposed to light and air. If some- time in the future a "patch is needed you will have a piece that is the same color as the paper of the room. Q.

Is it permissible to exam- ine the various. dishes on a cafe- teria counter before selecting a certain one? ! 2, Isn't it a "mark of good breeding when a stranger who is asked a questioh extends a courteous reply?- 3. How should a girl announce her engagement if her father is dead? . . 4. Should a bride write a per- sonal letter of thanks for each wedding gift she receives? 5. Should one ever refuse to make introductions' unless it is absolutely impossible to escape doing #0? . 6. What is the proper way for a woman to thank a man who has given her his seat in a strect car or bus? ANSWERS 1. Yes, if it can be dene with a glance, but one should not finger the saucers, or be con- spicuous in selecting one that scems to be the largest. 2, Yes, decidedly so.

Wrote home the thrilled young Yankee: "It was the King, the Queen and Princess Elizabeth, out for a stroll, The Queen spoke to me, and I stopped. We had a very nice conversation, and in. formal, as no. one else was around. They wore vdty inter. ested to know where I came from, how I liked England and the people, and if I had made many friends. They are grand people, and we had quite a few laughs, The Queen has a grand personality, and is just like you see her in the newsreels. I was very fortunate, don't you think?" Housewives Help - By carrying her shopping home the British housewife has helped to save ten million gallons of petrol a year as well as a good deal of manpower, when refilling it. If cold water is used the food will take much longer to cook. Q. How can I prevent rust on. towels caused by hanging them on nails? A. Give all the nails and hooks on -which "damp towels or cloths are hung a good coat of enamel, whatever color is in harmony with the wall or room. They will be much more attractive and will also prevent rust. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Quartz Crystals Number one strategical min- eral problem in the United States at present is a domestic source of supply of quartz .rystals suit- able for radio equipment and other electrical uses in the war effort, says Science Service. adio is the life line of the arm- ed forces. Battle movements of soldiers, sailors and air forces depend upon it. Dependable in- struments in which crystals are used must have crystals of the finest quality, \ Brazil and other South Amer- jcan countries are the sources of the present supply. In"the United" States there are plenty of quartz crystal deposits, but satisfactory crystals for electrical uses had not been developed from them in pre-war days, Not all quartz crystals, regard- "less -of their-general resemblance, are usablo in electrical work, They must be first cut, then care- fully tested in well-equipped laboratories for their electrical properties, To be uasable, they should be at least an inch in dia- meter and over two niches long.
