Sikorsky, at the meeting of the New York section of the Institute of the Aeronau- tical Sciences. This is the evacu- ation of wounded men from difficult terrain, Motion pictures of the new army type helicopter, a two-man machine, clearly es- tablished its adaptability to such gervice, Over thick jungle coun- try, for example, it can stand still in the air, lower medical assistance by rope-ladder, and thus render invaluably prompt first aid. It can, of course, land in any tiny clearing or on swampy ground and evacuate a severely "wounded man Hs smoothness in even rough air insures a high degree of comfort as an ambu- lance craft. For Civilians, Too Although development work for the armed services naturally is of a confidential character, Mr. Sikorsky was able tc indi- eate that speeds of about 140 to 150 miles an hour might be ex- pected of this unique machine. He again made it clear that the helicopter is not expected to sup- plant the large airplane, but that its inherent abilities to fly slowly, to stand still in the air, to move in any direction, includ- ing straight up and down, offer possibilities not only for such military service as anti-sub- marine patrol, reconnaissance, the landing of "helitroopers" rather than paratroopers, but for many types of civilian flying.

The process of destruction is in full swing at the present time. For- - eign observers believe that a Naki program is planned to augment the 1,600,000 prisoners, held for . three years in barbed-wire camps, with 3,500,000 youths for either "voluntary" or compulsory labor in Nazi industry and defence production. The birth-rate in France has suffered a serious decline. "If the Nazis have their way, France will disappear as a first-class power. Hitler insists that his methods are necessary to eliminate France for gencr- ations as a possible foe of Ger- many, Fifyt-thrce per cent. of French homes are childless, while 23 per cent. of French families have only one child. France has Jess than 8 per cent. of Kurope's population, whereas in 1800 she had 16 per cent. If Hitler has his way, France is doomed. Super-Secret Plane' Produced In U. S.

"SAL IT" EE £h - a By -- Percival Christopher Wren CHAPTER XV . Again Wendover smiled grimly as In restrospect he saw himselt wearing the Oriental dress of a language-teaching secretar, raising "hig eves (respectfully lowered. in the présence) looking the Com mandant full In the face, stopping up to his desk and bending to- ward _him to whisper in English, which the Commandant spoke col- loquially, "And another thing, Excellency. Do you realize that I could pass myself off as a. British officer?" And the big, bearded, heavily- built Commandant, throwing him- self back in his chair, had laughed aloud. "Bosh!" had replied the Com- mandant, "You'd be spotted for what you are in five minutes and; shot out of hand, or rather shot [nto jail out of sight, in the tender English fashion, instead of being liquidated straight away." "I could pass a test, Excellence. I could pass myself off on. any officer of this school, or of tho garrison, as a British officer." ; "For a minute the Colonel eyed "him thoughtfully, his bearded face inscrutable. "Look," he said suddenly. "I will give the Adjutant instructions to assist you to get what kit you will-want and this time next week come into this room disguised as a British officer, We'll see wheth- er you convinco them in their ig- norance, and also persuade the Ad- jutant and myself that the role is perfect." : . LE * Memories " A week later he had endeavored to. give them a surprise. And they had given him one instead. Not only the surprise of a lifetime, but the shock of a dozen lifetimes. It made him almost sick with anger antl self-contempt to look back at himself dressed almost correctly as a captain of the In- dian Army, conducted into the Commandant's room by the appar- ently admiring Adjutant and being introduced to the assembled of- ficers. And before them he had carefully played his well-rehearsed part, that of a British. officer call- ing on a mess to all -of whose members he was a stranger, look- ing the part, he flattered himself, from head to foot; closely cut hair, clean shaven save for a tooth brush moustache, a riding "switch dangling negligently in his left hand. There had been a grim silence; for him at first no more than an awkward pause In the proceedings in which he had taken a leading part, Then the officer in muftl--a man whom he felt suse he had geen befone, probably about the MACDONALD Fune Cut Midas oa "school or in the town--had spoken softly and quietly, with a pleasant smile playing about his thin-lipped mouth, while the wrinkles about his watchful eyes were not those of laughter, "Very interesting, Captain Rich- ard Wendover, Very well done. But then, of course, you have rath- er special qualifications, haven't you? Who should play the part of _a_Hritish officer better than Cap- tain --Richard "Wendover--of Na. pier's Horse, until dismissed from the Army with ignominy?" As ho was' seized and hustled from the room he had heard tho Commandant say: "I'll leave him to you then, Comrade," a remark "which had dfawn quiet laughter from tho others: And the days that followed had been definitely one of the bad patches In the life of Richard Wendover. . * * Memories. One evening Bailitzin had en- tered the cell into which he, the so-called teacher and revealed spy, had been thrown, one of the underground cells of this well equipped school, a _ small part of whose activities was, the "ques tioning" of spies. It" was an unpleasant coll, dark, "damp, verminous, ventilated only by a. drain pipe that sloped up- wards at an angle of forty-five degrees out to the pavement of the inner courtyard of the School, and recently inhabited by a person of uncommendable habits. Tho door had been flung open by the soldier turnkey and Bail- itzin had entered, accompanied" by an orderly who carried a chair, a mah almost seven feet In height, vast and powerful, and who look- ed as If he might at some time have been a sergeant-major or other ornament of a regiment of the Imperial Guard. Wendover noticed with a feeling approaching incredulous horror that the giant carried, coiled in his right hand, a nagaika, a steel tipped black snake whip, such. as is used by the Kirghiz irregulars and the Cossacks, a terrible weap- "on or insfrument of torture and death, "Well, Wendover," said Bailit- zin in perfect English, " 'so wo meet again,' as the villains of the Adelphi Drama used to say." "Again?' asked Wendover in- voluntarily. "Yes, my [Iriend, again. Have you forgotten the military attache at the Russian Embassy in Lon- don? I haven't forgotten you--nor the occasion when you grinned at me because I had slipped and fall en--while talking to our friend Sybil Ffoulkes, My turn to laugh now, eh? Your luck really was out the other day--that 1 should have been there." Bailitzin laughed with genuine amusement, ' "Really very. funny," he con- tinued. "There were we, suspect- ing- you for all we were worth, perfectly certain that you were a British agent--and a damned good _ong Ht you were a Pathan--and then--of your goodness you make all things abundant]y._ clear unto us. To me, at any rate. I knew you at once in that British uniform and with your beard off, I shouldn't have known you as a a, Oh, really damned funny." ' * . * And><Bailitzin smote his thigh and laughed again. . Suddenly his laughter was cut oft as it with a knife, "Take off that belt and tunic," he sald. . Wendover hesitated. Who was this fellow? Bailitzin glanced over hls shoul- der to where the orderly stood at attention in tho. corner, and then leered at Wendover. "Quick," he growled, "or . . ."" Wendover unbuckled his belt and "yemoved his tunie, "Now take off your shirt". Wendover obeyed, "Sit down," sald Ballitzin, to be formed, CROFTON NICKEL Prospecting Syndicate Properties located in the International and Falcon. bridge Nickel Area ... A $10,000 Syndicate.

Wendover glanced at the hor- ribly befouled earthen floor and again he hesitated. ' "Paulov!" Bailitzin snarled, and the. giant strode forward, uncoil- ing the heavy short handled whip «with {ts long black lash, pliant as rubber, tough as rhinoceros hide, pointed with steel. Wendover sat down. -- You ard wise," smiled Ballitzin. "Shortly you will be sad. Yes, go to your grave a sadder and a wiser man.

And once again the orderly strode forward, uncoiling his nag- aika. : "One, it I ralse my hand," Bail- ftzin said In Russian, and the glant took up a position beside Wendover, his hand raised to strike, H . And Wendover knew that al cut from that steel-tipped whip would be only ong' degree less effective than a cut from a sword. He had geen the nagaika In use.

How Famous Hotel "Meatless Chefs Meet Tuesday" Challenge Mame Tuesdays and rationing| generally form challenge and in- spiration to all cooks. That challenge has been accepted by the kitchen ex- | perts of the Canadian National Rail- ways Hotels, who face exactly the same problems as those of Mrs, Householder; they must exercise intelligent imagina- tion to provide savoury substitutes. Chefs in Canadian National Railways Hotels--there are eight of them in as many cities of the Dominion--issue Tuesday menus which offer pleasant gastronomic adventure to mealtime guests. : Here are selections taken from a bi; list of meatless dishes now being servi in National System Hotels. They have been prepared by men of international igcputation ret each item presented can be prepared economically in any kitch- enette with modest resources. FRIED CHEESE SANDWICH The first dish comesisfrom Edward Albert Gebistorf, Chef at the Mac- donald in Edmonton, a hotel with a sterling reputation in that busy city, and throughout the West generally, for the excellence of its dining room serv- ices. During the Royal Tour in 1939, 'Their Majesties, King George and Queen Elizabeth, were guests at an ig dinner. at the Macdonald apd those present on that occasion com- mended the menu ras being entirely choice and appropriate, Here is Chef Gebistorf's suggestion for a delicious - supper dish: fake a well buttered cheese sand- wich with a slice of Canadian; cheese inch thick between, Break two eggs, t well, with a tablespoon of cream and a speck of salt. Soak sandwich in mixture on both sides and fry in butter to a golden brown, Then finish in the oven for five minutes to be sure that the cheese is positively melted. Serve very hot. It is possible to do without butter on the sandwich bread. MEATLESS MACARONI SHEPHERD'S PIE This suggestion came from Nickolas Lacosta, Chef at' the Nova Scotian Hotel, Halifax. He also suggested some excellent fish recipes but the Shepherd's Pie, a favorite in many Canadian homes, was selected as a novel variant of an old friend. 'As given below it will make six servings, ; 2 cups small cut macaroni J goin Ik green peppers cups mi 2 cups grated cheese eggs Method: Boil macaroni in salted water (not too well cooked). Dice the n peppers and onions, braise in utter or other fat. Mix cooked maca- roni, cheese, eggs and milk together, Salt and pe per to taste, Pour in a small gr pan; bake in medium hot oven 25 to 30 minutes, Serve hot. GNOCCHI NEW ORLEANS Before war imposed travel restric- tions; as well 'ag rationing,' Canadians who found themselves at Soho in London, Greenwich Village in New / Chef Lacosta of the Nova Scotian Hotel shows Mr. W. Stanley Lee, Prices and Supply Representative of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board how to make meatless . shepherd's pie. York, or the neighborhood of Fisher- man's Wharf in San Francisco, spoke with delight of the gnocchi discovered in restaurants where good food was ob- tainable at moderate price. It is a real novelty yet William Schmidts, Chef at the Canadian: National Prince Arthur' Hotel at Port Arthur, gives assurance that it is well within -the capabilities of every housewife and the resources of all good kitchens. Chef Schmidts adds mushrooms, but says that when market considerations and price make them scarce and expensive they can be left out, The recipe provides four to six servings: 34 cup milk i - 2 whole eggs 2 cups flour 1 pinch salt B 1 cup diced onions 1 cup diced celery - cup diced green peppers | cup diced red peppers cup sliced mushrooms (optional) cups thick stewed tomatoes Salt and Cayenne pepper Method: A==\Whip all items into a thick paste and drop into slightly salted boiling water through hg piping bag, and ching gently.

If fresh, of course, cook them with': the other ingredients, Salt and cayenne hot flavor, and cover with hot tomato sauce Sprinkle with grated cheese and ba more than four million acres of per to make a rich : '(AY Ghocchi-in buttered bowl Farmers Of Quebec Follow British Plan English agricultural thods have influenced those of Quebec Province considerably during the war years, declared Aime Gag- non, professor of rural economy, in an address béfore the recent congress of the Corporation des Agronomes held at Oka, recently. Praising" agricultural progress in Britain, Professor. Gagnon said * that more than five million new acres had been put into culti- vation. , Production -and sale of produce are being carried on co- operatively. . Subsidies are pro- vided for supplying farmers with chemical fertilisers. 'Tractors are rapidly replacing horsepower on the farm, he said. Besides cultivation" of oats, maize, feed roots, sugar beets, special attention has been given to more efficient production of hay crops: fodder food values (12%: of the proteins) are con- served .by harvesting during period of fullest growth. -]- Following the English example, Quebec agriculturists will con- _centrate on fodder production with a view to retaining as high a percentage of food value as possible for dairy farmers and cattle breeders, Mr. Gagnon de- clared. A Wise Fool Who Is Safe And Sound There was a man in Western Ontario who lived up to his teach-. ing, says The Chatham News, Always he declared that if his car ever stalled on a railway track with a train approaching he would waste no time on the car, but would make for safety. "I can buy another car, but I can't buy another chance after I am dead," he said. . A couple of weeks ago he: bought a car and took it for a . run. Crossing a railway track it gave a cough and quit. A' train . was approaching from a distance. People told him he had time to get her going, but this brave chap dropped out -and- walked to the. side of the road. The car was reduced to matchwood. : Some people said he was a fool, but if so, he was: a- wise one. He had insured his car and was taking, no chances, He let the debris to the wreckers and put in a claim to the insurance company, He is still safe and sound and his wife is not a. widow. fl THEY 10KE IT 8 AND DIE Que, | --
