Mo- bilization Chief, cited In a recent address the sinking of four sub- marines that attacked a convoy and the destruction of a Japancse battleship at eight-mile range on a stormy night--by means of Ra- dar, i ' The wholesale destruction of submarines présumably was tho victory announced In London May 12. The Admiralty said four and perhaps 10 U-boats were sunk aft- or they attacked a convoy. The shnking of the battleship had been announced last November by the United States Navy, but it did not disclose at that tlme how Radar mastered the eight-mile range. A British Invention Byrnes gave no détails of the eonvoy results saying only: "The submarine is still a dead- Jy menace, but our attack against the submarine Is even more dead: ly. Recently ono of our convoys was set upon by a pack of Nazi submarines. They got one of our merchant ships, but we got four of their snbmarines." ' As for Radar, the British 1n- yention ~which--uses--hoomerangng radio bpams to detect distant en- emy planes and ships, even in fog or at night, Byrnes said: "On the right of Nov. 14 oft Guaduleanal, there lay a Japanese battleship. It was a stormy night. Eight miles away was a ship" of our fleet. With the use of the Ra- dar our ship with and salve "ght kK THe Jap battleship in the blackness of night, eight miles away. : "Is there any wonder that the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto who boasted ho would dictate the peaeo to tho United States in the White " Mouse, has quietly passed away?" : Private Income His Majesty Lends Wartime Savings to the Government When Pariiament votes L£418,- 000 a year as King George VI's Civil List, £110,000 is carmarked for his own use (the Privy Purse). Out of it the King pays such expenses as the cost of the Royal train for official journeys, but how the money is spent is not known exactly-to anyone except - His Majesty and tall, quictly com- petent Sir Ulick Alexander, Keep- er of the Privy Purse. = Last week, however, one secret of the P.P. accounts leaked out. Because there are no glittering "Courts or Levees, no lavish State banquets, no costly entertain- ments for visiting foreign poten- tates in wartime, many thousands have been saved by the Privy Purse in the "pas. three years, - money which is the King's to spend -&rs he pleases; But instead of using it for private purposes, the King has returned the cash to the national coffers by lending it interest free to the Government as a contribution to the costs of the war. Because he dislikes publicity © for what he classes as his private affairs, His Majesty allowed no mention of this patriotic act to be made in Parliament.

Modern Etiquette WHAT SCIENCE Two Scotemen were discussing the domestic unhappiness of a mutual friend. "Aye, aye," said one, "Jamie Thompsor. has a sair time wi' that wife o' his." "What clse can ye expect?" said the other scornfully. "The puir creature marit after coortin' ~=for-wimiy=zeden years, Man, he had nao chance to ken the woman in gic a short time. When TI was coortin' I coorted for 20 years" An amused listener to this con- versation ventured to ask if this long courtship had ensured con- nubial bliss, whercupon the old Scotsman replied: "I tell ye I coorted for 20 year and in that time I kent what woman wag, and so 1 _didna marry." Farmer: "I've never seen such a season. My corn isn't an inch high." Neighbor: "An inch? Why the sparrows have to kncel down to eat mine." A Jittle boy in school refused to sow, thinking it bencath the dig- nity of a 10-year-old man. .. "George Washington sewed," said the principal, "taking it for granted that a soldier must; and do you consider yourself better than George Washnigton?" said the boy seriously. . Foreman: "Now, Murphy, what about carrying some bricks." Murphy: "1 ain't feelin' well, guvnor. I'm tremblin' all over." Foreman; "Well, then, get - busy with the sieve." A Chinese recruit being ex- amined by an English officer was asked his name. MSneeze," he replied. But the officer was unconvine- ed and asked- for an explanation. "Me very intelligent," the Chinese said, "Mo translate into .your language my name -- Ati Shoo!" "Soanso is one of those fellows who has more money than brains, is he not?" ssked Brown of- his friend, Black. "Yes; and he is not rich either," replied Black. Maistrate: "Yop're a danger to pedestrians, You're not allow- ed to drive for two years." Defendant: "But, sir, my living depends on it." - Magistrate: "So does theirs." 1 Mike: '1 haven't seen my Uncle Pat for 10 years. Tell me what he's been doing all that time." lke: "Ten years." .

Substitutes Found For Manila Fiber 0 Rope May Be Made From Jute, Cotton, Hemp, Nylon Along with silk, camphor, rub- ber, and other items, manila fiber, best of rope-making materials, must be included~ in the list" of - Japan-caused shortages. ) Rope, moreover, is quite an im- portant article. Without rope, tugboats couldn't ply their trade; merchant ships aud war vessels couldn't "sail; rangers would have to do without scaling nets, etc. Perhaps next best on the list of | rope fibers is the sisal, ar agave, which may be obtained from Africa. Another agave, henequen (principally used in binder twine), ia obtainable from Mexico and Cuba. This sisal rope is only.about 76 per cent. as strong, size for size, as rope made from manila fiber.. Henequen rope has only about 60 per cent. of the strength of manila, 2 185,000 Acres In Hemp Rope also may be made from such fibers as jute, cotton, and hemp. Hemp is a familiar rope fiber. The old sailing vessels, be- fore the introduction of manila to this country in 1820, were hemp- rope equipped. And hemp will goon be a real additlon to the domestic rope fiber supply. This spring 185,000 acres of Corn Belt land are to be planted in hemp for fiber, and 650,000 acres more _ for seed. And in 1940 the- entire hemp acreage in the United States was less than 2,000 acres. Varjous other natural fibers are being experimented with for cord- age. Among these may be men- tioned the yucca, scrub palmetto, and such plants as caroa of Brazil, fique of Colombia, and malva blanca of Cuba. 3 Nylon Too Costly Not all rope fibers are obtained from plants. Rope spun from man.. made nylon fibers is proving ins valuable for glider tow-ropes and has beea an important factor in making practicable the flying plck- up of motorless craft. At present the matter of cost stands in: the way of the general use of nylon. fibers for rope, but it is thought that the cost may drop. considers ably under quantity nroduetion.- Researchers: are aleo experi- menting with other substances from which rope can be made; and viscose and acetate rayon fibers show promise, IS DOING | 50 oii avora an WOOD OF GROWING TREES ' CAN BE DYED The staining and dyeing of finished lumber is a process in which, in most cases, thc color does not extend very deeply into the body of the wood, writes W. P. Kcasbey in The Christian Science Monitor. An experimenter, however, claims to have developed a means of coloring the wood of living irces in such fashion that when the treated trees later are felled and. sawed into lumber, the wood thus obtained will be uniformly and beautifully colored from heart to bark. The color thus introduced into the wood is said to be practically indelible, being resistant to the_. bleaching action _ either of neid. or of water. hI ) The inventor of the process maintains also that the use of dye does not injure the tree. The trees dyed experimentally include small: beech, birch, and - maple trees. The treatment in- volves first, the boring of several holes at the base of the trunk. Next, the holes arc fitted with ~ containers hung from the tree * branches snd serving as reservoirs for the dye. i ) The liquid flows through the tubes by gravity into the holes in the trunk, where it mingles with the circulating sap of the tree. The movement of the sap carries --the-coloring matter -(the-composi--- tion of which is kept secret by the inventor) to every part of the tree. The timé required to com- plete the dyeing process is given as two days for small trees and. four days or more for-larger ones. By means of this dyeing system, natural wood - has been colored lavender, blue, yeMow, and or- ange. , Tests indicate that dye- treated trces have harder wood than untreated trees of the same variety, which, for some wood-- working purposes, may -be an ad- vantage. - This new dyed wood has been made into colored umbrella han-" ~ dles, candlesticks, buttons, ete. These products need no staining or painting--only polishing.
