~main.in Syria if their-work makes it
WORLDS WEEK
HAROLD L. WBIR
Assoc, , The Edmonton Bulletin
The French occuption of Syria, sanc- tioned by the League of Nations at the San Remo conference of 1920, came to an-enforced end last week, but the repercussions continue to shake Anglo French relations,
It was a curious business,
Vichy Frenchmen closed their fists at the loss of Syria, but at the same time uttered sighs of relief at the end of the bloodshed,
The diplomatic incidents leading up to the surrender were some of the most devious practiced’ during this war.
Having stymied the Vichy crowd by proposing draconian terms for peace, the British were finally far more len- ient when soldiers took up the armis- tice negotiations after Vichy had left the matter up to General Dentz.
Vichy maintained a firm attitude and at same time avoided additional loss of life by giving General Dentz a free hand to accept most of the terms that the government felt it could not ac- cept itself.
* e
The armistice terms comprised only military. clauses, Political ones, like French admission of the end of the Syrian mandate and the turning over sof German and Italian citizens to the British, were omitted,
The Vichy administration won one point which it had stipulated:
No de Gaullists were official part- ners in the contract, although General Georges Catroux, Free French com- mander in the Levant, was present at the signing at St. Jean d’Acre.
Practically speaking, the military clauses will have political results be- cause France’s Syrian mandate defin- itely comes to an end whether Vichy has admitted it in writing or not.
The fact that the military conditions of the armistice were honorable was credited to the stubborn resistance of General Dentz, All Vichy troops were given honors of war, and wil] be re- patriated on French convoys if they So desire,
s. *
The dangerous question of these troops joining the forces of General Charles de Gaulle has been settled. Instead of admitting the right of the soldiers to join de Gaulle ag units, General Dentz has obtained agreement that both civilians and soldiers will be treated individually,
Furthermore, the British have agreed that even pro-Vichy French may re-
necessary, mT
The only Frenchmen who will be re- tained as prisoners will be equivalent in numbers and rank with British of- ficers and men shipped off to France 15 days ago,
* 2
What will be the eventual results of the Franco-British Syrian agree- ment remains a mystery insofar as relations between the two nations are concerned,
Neither Vichy nor London will feel inclined to be more tender towards each other because of it, That much is certain,
For many Frenchmen, Syria may replace Fashoda as a symbol, Fashoda, a town of the Sudan, on the White Nile, was occupied by a French ex- pedition in July 1898, but surrendered to the British in November of the

So far as the phd are eheiess, Turkey remains a riddle.

THE WORLD OF WHEAT REVIEWED WEEKLY BY MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE
The Canadian Seed Growers’ Asso- ciation hag just held its 37th Annual meeting; this year in Quebec, Matters of interest to French-speaking and English-speaking seed growers and farmers alike were considered. The necessity for an increased production of high quality vegetable seeds to re- place those annually imported from Europe; the production of seed of the new higher yielding Hybrid corn varie- ties, which have swept like a prairie
re across the United States, and which are now being introduced into Canada, and the simplification of the notations of the generation pedigrees of Registered seed were discussed by the delegates present who represented every province in Canada, But how the Association could best help Can- ada’s and the Empire’s war effort was the topic with which the members were mainly concerned,
At the annual dinner, Mr, Adelard Godbout, the Premier of Quebec, made a most inspiring address, “The French speaking Canadians,” he said, “will match every sacrifice made by the En- glish-speaking Canadians, both in the providing of money, of work and of manpower for the armies, Quebec is ready to fight to the last sacrifice, for the maintenance of the Empire and of ‘our way of life’.”
The Seed Growers concluded that a new great leader had arisen in Can- ada; another Laurier many thought.

PERMIT BOOK NECESSARY TO DELIVER OR SELL WHEAT
Under the Canadian Wheat Board Regulations covering the crop year 1141-42, every producer who makes delivery of or sells wheat to any party, or takes it to a mill to be gristed, must have a permit and all such deliv- eries must be entered in the permit book, and be within his established quota at the delivery point,
It is further provided that no per- son, unless he is duly authorized by the Canadian Wheat Board, shall take delivery, buy, or mill wheat, and no person shall sell, deliver, or otherwise dispose of any wheat to, or have it milled by any person not so authorized by the Canadian Wheat Board,
and who operate under a Wheat Board Agreement will be hand- led through their head offices, However, all other parties wishing to deal in wheat will have to make application to the Canadian Wheat Board, 423 Main Street, Winnipeg, setting forth full particulars of business,
As no purchases or deliveries of wheat may be made until authority is received from the Board, it is re- quested that these applications be | made as soon as possible,

REGULAR CROP REPORT
The Alberta Wheat Pool crop report issued for the week ending July 12 in- dicates that during that. week the crops deteriorated appreciably, Lack of rainfall was the cause of the crops going back and only two areay:in the province hold possibilities of a yield ag good as last year’s. These dre. the Peace River district and the extreme southern section of the province,
The condition figure for wheat ag.at July 12 was 83 compared with 87 on the same day a year ago. However, the crops were going back rapidly and extremely hot weather prevailed dur- ing the early part of the present week so that the condition figure will be down substantially by July 19th when the next crop report is compiled.
The lightest crops are in the east- central area of the province, where production normally averages much below the rest of the crop districts, but drouth has also affected a wide area extending westward,
Seventy-seven per cent of the wheat was headed on July 12th as compared with sixty per cent on the same date in 1940, Under the hot July sun crops have been ripening rapidly,
The Peace River district is about the only area in the province which does not require rainfall at the present time. The region in the extreme south is in good condition but rain will be required to fill the grain,

THE CHRONICLE.
CARBON,
ALTA.
Three totally unrelated items appearing in the daily press within a few days of one another afford an excellent example of the statement that Situations and conditions can change so rapidly that they may result in the unanticipated solution of problems which have hitherto appeared in- sSurmountable.
The news items referred to all have or may have actual or potential relationship to the solution of the surplus wheat problem which has in the past year or so sorely perplexed the governments, farmer organizations, business and the individual farmers of this country.
One of these items is an announcement by Hon. J. G. Gardiner of the possibility that some of the huge surplus of Canadian wheat may be utilized to assist Russia as a result of the unexpected onslaught of Hitler and his hordes upon the U.S.S.R. and particularly on the Ukraine granary of that | country. Another is the announcement that the Australian government ‘has devised a plan for the conversion of some of the wheat in that country | into 22,000,000 gallons of power alcohol as a substitute for gasoline. The third is an expression of hope by the Dominion cerealist, Dr. L, H. New-| man, that bread containing a minimum of 400 international units of B1 per} pound in its natural form will appear “sooner or later’ on the domestic market.
All three of these items point in the direction towards at least a par-| tial solution of the immediate problem of bursting Canadian wheat storage
facilities. One or more of them might go a long way towards the entire | solution of the problem,
. . *. °
Many Unknown Contingencies
While the use of Canadian wheat to feed the Russians depends largely upon the course the war will take within the new few weeks or months as} well as many other at present unknown factors over which this country has very little control just now; it at least opens the vista of a poten-| tiality which should not be disregarded. if and when time and circum- stances make such disposition of some of this huge surplus a possibility, and an expedient possibility.
The provision of wheat to the Russians, however, is hedged around by so many unknown contingencies, that little or no reliance can yet be placed | upon this possibility as a partial solution of the problem at this date, and) it would be the part of wisdom, for the present to concentrate on other) measures, and especially those means which would ensure increased domestic | consumption of this surplus commodity. Both the Australian plan to provide for conversion of wheat into power alcohol and Dr. Newman's pro- | posal fall within this category.
The economic feasibility of substituting power alcohol derived from wheat, in whole or in part, for gasoline in Western Canada with its ap- parently large reservoirs of petroleum not yet exhausted is highly doubtful until some cheaper method of converting wheat into alcohol has been found. | Investigations and experiments conducted elsewhere have shown this to be the case at the present time. The exigencies of war, however, may make} production of alcohol for power purposes from wheat a necessity, no mat-| ter what the cost; or, dwindling supply of petroleum and cheapening of the process of turning wheat into power, or a combination of both, may open the door for the economic use of the latter. In any event, it is another pos- sibility which should not be overlooked.
* .
* *
An Economic Feasibility
Dr. Newman's suggestion, however, is one which has the merit of economic feasibility and, insofar as domestic consumption of bread is con- cerned is one in which the Canadian people have complete control. It is a partial solution to the problem of wheat congestion which should only not be neglected, but one which should be pushed to the limit of its possibility.
Dr. Newman intimated what has been voiced as at least a suspicion in this column before, namely that the life-giving, health conserving vita- min B1 is of greater value for human consumption when furnished in its | natural form as found in the wheat germ, than when provided synthetically in the form of chemicals. Moreover, he pointed out, that the 150 inter- national units per 100 pounds provided in some of the commercial flours used by bakeries is not sufficient. The desired objective, he declared, is at least 400 international units per pound,
Th objection to the incorporation of the readily assimilable B1 vitamin as found in the germ of the wheat has been removed by the comparatively recent discovery of a milling process which retains this highly valuable con- tent without producing a flour that will not keep, and it can be done, without additional cost.
If the people knew that they were getting all the B1 they require in its natural and best form in their bread, they would not have to seek it in other and more expensive foods or to purchase it in chemical form and this would result in increased consumption of bread, hence of wheat.
Greater consumption of bread, impregnated with one of the most im- portant necessities of life and health in its best form would also result in all round improved health for the nation as a whole and, as Dr. Newman truly points out, bread would again become the “staff of life,” in its highest accepted meaning.

~~ Vitamin Bread
Hope To Establish A Standard Grade Of Flour For The Purpose
Hope for establishment of a gov- ernment standard grade or brand of flour and bread containing a mini- mum amount of vitamin B1 was ex- pressed in an address prepared for delivery at Guelph, Ont., by Dr. L. H. Newman, Dominion cerealist, Ottawa.
He spoke at the regional conven- tion of the Canadian Society of Tech- nical Agriculturists.
Dr. Newman suggested the vitamin should come from the wheat itself and not from synthetic processes, and that measures be passed insuring that those offering such flour or bread for sale would be complying with legal minimum requirements.
“We beliepe that if and when such a loaf comes to be recognized by the medical people of this country and ) Sponsored by our own department of |health, that our white bread will once again come to be regarded as the ‘real staff of life’,” he continued.
“We feel that an increased con- sumption of the new type of bread which we feel sure will sooner or later appear on the market, not only will mean much to the health of our people but will assist materially in increasing the consumption of bread and therefore wheat.”
Tests of commercial flours used by bakers at present showed vitamin B1 as approximately 150 international units per pound, Dr. Newman said, while the objective desired was at least 400 international units per pound.

Increase In Marriages |
Canadian Towns And Cities The Strongest Trend
In Canadian towns and cities of 10,000 population and over, the num- ber of marriages increased 23 per cent. in 1940; in all Canada, 19 per cent. In the first third of 1941, the urban marriages were “up” 60 per cent, compared with the same period two years ago. In 1940 the number of births in the towns and cities rep- resented an increase of 1214 per cent,; in all Canada, less than 614 per cent. While the figures for the Do- minion as a whole are therefore somewhat smaller than the reports from urban centres indicated might

be the case, they are impressive enough. As a result of the higher birthrate, the ‘natural increase” in

Danger To Face
Another Common Enemy That's Menace To Mankind
_Summer diarrhoea of babies, ty- phoid fever, eye diseases and other dangerous and painful infections come in the wake of the common house fly. We face this danger every year during the hot weather. Lec- tures and writings by medical men, health authorities, and other experts have done a lot towards educating people to fight this menace.
However, you cannot educate a fly and flies, being no respecters of per- sons, still invade our homes and stores with impurity. When you consider that the bacteria on a single fly's hairy body may number five million and that these carriers of germs are born and bred in filth which may be deposited in food or on the infant in his cot, it can read- ily be understood how important it is to exterminate every fly without delay.
And flies, if left alone, multiply phenomenally, too! Of the many methods for killing flies, probably the quickest, most humane and most deadly is to place a few Wilson’s Fly Pads in the most suitable places throughout the house. conspicuous and kill all the flies— once and for all. It’s such an easy way to eliminate the fly menace in our homes and ‘stores and thus help make our community a_ healthier place in which to live.
Another point of interest to peo- ple who suffer from those trouble- some and destructive pests—ants— Wilson's Fly Pads offer a sure-death remedy. Just a teaspoonful of sugar, water and a Wilson’s Fly Pad is all that’s needed.

Air Training Plan
To Train Ground Crew Personnel For Overseas Work
Hon, C. G. Power, minister of na- tional defence for air, said that the Commonwealth Air Training Plan ts producing 25 per cent. more pilots, air observers, air gunners and wire- less operators than was expected when the plan was first projected.
Mr. Power also revealed that train- ing of ground crews has been so successful that it is proposed to man all 25 R.C.A.F. squadrons to be formed overseas. R.C.A.F. squadrons now are manned by Royal Air Force ground crews.
Several thousand ground crew personnel will be trained for over- seas work, he said.
The air minister added that one of the most interesting experiments in the training plan was formation of the “composite school” for the “washed-out” pilot, revealing for the first time setting up of such a school. It is located at Trenton, Ont., and is under direction of Squadron Leader Denton Massey. | “Only one per cent. of the washed- out pilots have been granted their discharge if they wish, but they would rather remain to be of some assistance in the great cause.”

Nazis Have Dropped Leaflets Telling Britons To Give Up
Leaflets dropped on the British Isles by Nazi planes advised Britons to give up because they would be doomed to starvation “this year or early next year.” The leaflets, single | sheets printed on both sides in Eng- lish, quote various statements by President Roosevelt on British aid and German claims of the sinking of innumerable British ships in the bat- tle of the Atlantic. Britain’s avenues of supply are being ‘‘finally” closed, the leaflets said.

DEMANDS FOR WAR EFFORT ARE NOW INCREASING
Ottawa.—Milestones on Canada’s march from the old order of peace- time days were seen as officials here noted, numerous signs that the task of winning the war will shortly de- mand more from all Canadians.
Bearing down now on the Cana- dian mode of life are a mass of regulations doing such things as “freezing” models of automobiles, radios and other equipment which re- quire machine tools that could be more effectively employed manufac- turing war weapons than in meeting changing fashions in design.
Officials said the assumption here was that most of the basic legisla- tion had been approved and that its application could be made increas- ingly strict as time passed and de- mands for the war efforts became greater.
The following appeared to be in| immediate prospect:
1.. Curtailment of the sale of gasoline, with controls against un- necessary consumption of an import- ant force in the conduct of war.
2. Curtailment of the use for civilian purposes of certain metals} urgently needed to provide machines | of war. Aluminum and steel already are under close control.
3. - Increased emphasis on salvage, possibly allied with a move to cut down employment of expensive con- tainers for essential products.
4. A continued effort, accom- panied by the necessary regulations, to see that vital food supplies are made available to Britain.
Already measures are in force to see that all surplus supplies of bacon | and cheese go to the United King- dom, and storage eggs may be re- | quisitioned to make up orders from the British food ministry.
Automobile production for mili- tary service has increased, but the output for civilian purposes is lower.
Apart from men in the navy, army and air force and in National Re- sources Mobilization Act training camps, a revolution has been wrought in the lives of thousands of others, officials said.

Post War Plans No New War Millionaires In Great Britain
London. — British Labor, drawing up “blue-prints” for a new post-war Britain, was told that the second Great War will not hatch war mil- lionaires such as emerged from the conflict of 1914-19.
Addressing the last session of the) Labor party's annual three-day con- ference, Hugh Dalton, economic war- | fare minister, said:
“There will be no repetition after this war of the great war fortunes which emerged from the last war.”
He disclosed that the Labor party | executive has established a special committee to work out the plans which Labor hopes to see go into effect when peace returns.
The conference, usually productive of violent discussions during Britain's Whitsuntide, closed on a mild note. With Labor forming a vital part of the government there was little occa- sion for the critical fireworks of the past, and although some criticism was expected, none materialized.
A memorandum on post-war re- construction was approved by the delegates who heard Arthur Green- wood, minister without portfolio in the government, charged by Prime | Minister Churchill to deal with post- war problems, ask them to “trust in my honesty and sincerity to get from this work of mine the maximum in interest for the common people of this land.”
Foodstuffs From Japan
Quantities Shipped To Germany Over Trans-Siberian Railroad
Tokyo.—Foodstuffs from Japan and Japanese-occupied China have been flowing to Germany via the trans-Siberian railroad at the rate of 1,500 tons daily in recent months, reliable sources declared.
Approximately 75 000 tons of Man- choukuo’s soy bean crop—which has scores of uses in wartime Germany— already has been shipped, they as- serted. Other commodities of which large shipments have been made to |Germany, it was said, include oil, cotton, meat and rice.

“I confidently believe that this growing co-operation between Bri- tain and the United States, which will become closer and closer as the war goes on,” he said, “will con- tinue after the war and I think that they will tread the same path with us, realizing that there are no longer two hemisphere, but one single, small world.”
Mr. Greenwood, the member of the war cabinet charged with problems of post-war reconstruction, spoke dur- ing debate on the Labor party execu- tive’s memorandum on peace aims.
“I know there will be a shambles before the war is over,” he said. “I
realize all the material losses, but our |
co-operation and that of the domin- ions with the United States will give us the economic resources soon to obliterate all losses caused by the war.

PRODUCTION OF FOOD WILL HELP TO WIN THE WAR
Ottawa. Agriculture Minister |Gardiner said in the House of Com- mons that food will help win the war, and Canadian farmers are play- ing their part in producing it.
During consideration of the agri- ;cultural estimates Mr. Gardiner ;made a general statement on farm |problems, answering questions of | members.
British armies will because all British |those associated with Britain will, be well fed and will have the as- surance that food supplies will be available, Mr. Gardiner said.
More staple farm products of all | kinds except wheat and apples were | being disposed of at present than be- | |fore the war, Mr. Gardiner said. | ; Canada now was shipping more| pork products to Britain than were | being exported to all countries be-| fore the war, and there seemed no} limit to what might be exported in| the future. |
Mr. Gardiner said he was not in} favor of a long-range reduction in| wheat production but it was essential | now to get the wheat acreage down. |
There had been much criticism al first but western farmers had appre-| ciated the situation and his reports were that acreage this year had been! |; reduced from 27,000,000 acres to 20,- | | 000,000. | Every bushel by which production | was reduced would save the Domin- | 'ion $1 for war purposes over a period | of three years, the minister said. |Wheat owned by the government ; would cost that much if held for | three years. | Bacon exports to Britain had in- /ereased from 160,000,000 Wiltshire sides in the year before the war to 450 000,000 this year.
The minister urged farmers to pro-| duce even more next year clared the United Kingdom take all the surplus.
Cheese exports to the United Kingdom had increased from 72,000,- 000 pounds before the war to 103,- 000,000 pounds last year. This year the agreement called for 112,000,000 pounds. He expected to see it go to 144,000,000 next year.
“We have brought the farmers through the past two years to the frame of mind where they will go on ;next year to meet our fondest hopes ‘in the production of food,” he said.

GIVES WARNING — TO FRANCE OVER PACT WITH NAZIS
Washington.—The United States strongly warned France of the con-
“instru- mentof aggression” for Germany and indicated that Pan-American occu- pation of French possessions in the western hemisphere might be near.
In a formal statement, State Sec- retary Hull said preliminary official reports indicated the French gov- ment has adopted a “policy of col- laboration with other powers for the purposes of aggression sion.”
After recounting the history of recent relations between the United States and France, and the instances in which his government had stretch- ed points to assist the other nation, Mr. Hull said:
It would seem scarcely believable that the French government at Vichy should adopt the policy of collabor- ation with other powers for the pur- pose of aggression and oppression despite indications appearing in our preliminary reports.
Such action would not yielding priceless rights and _ inter- ests beyond the requirements of a harsh armistice, but it would at once place France in substantial political and military subservience and would also make her, in part, the instru- ment of aggression against many other peoples and nations, This could only be utterly inimical to the just rights of other countries, to say noth- ing of its ultimate effects on the liberties, the true interests, and the

(The dollar equivalent of 9,500,000,- 000 rubles cannot be stated since the ruble has no value outside Rus- sia. Within Russia the state bank will give 5.3 gold rubles for $1. This would make the 9 500,000,000 loan be worth about $180,000,000 in Canadian money.

PAY THE PREMIUM
Apart from the natural beauties
that are an ever-present lure and at- | traction to tourists in Canada, the pre- |
mium on United States dollars is the greatest possible aid to promotion of
traffic from that country. In terms of |
dollars, it provides a bonus of ten per cent, One enterprising group has pic- tured it as “one day free in ten’, To others, it is a pleasing novelty,
For any one of these conceptions to be effective, the premium must be paid by the Canadians catering to the tour- ist. It is not only a national service to pay the premium, paramount Wartime, but it is the law as well, an offence, punishable by severe penalties, to accept United States cur- rency at anything other than the of- ficial rate,
Because Canada is in urgent need of United States dollars to buy aero- planes and other vital war equipment in the U.S.A., this American currency should be turned in to the banks with out undue delay, It is an offence to hold it for more than a_ reasonable period of a few days after it has been received,
No Canadian loses by payment of the premium, Merchants, hotelkeepers, and others pay the current premium of ten percent and the banks pay out a like premium in receiving the Ameri- can currency, The premium is ten per- cent, whether it be for U.S. paper cur- rency, bank cheques, travellers’ che- ques or silver,
It is a national service and a pat- riotie duty — PAY THE TOURIST HIS PREMIUM,

Motor car drivers in Canada are now face to face with the fact that the air- men of the empire need the gasoline which Canadians are using for pleas- Ure purposes,
For several months past every loyal Canadian has been nursing the ferv- ent wish that the young flyers from Canada with their brother fighters in the R.A.F, could pay back ten-fold the unspeakable horrors which Nazi airmen have unloosed in the British Isles, Now finally the wings of hund- reds of Empire planes are casting their shadows over Germany daily. The hour has come when we have the

and more gasoline for the fighters— by refusing to use up gasoline un- necessarily in private motor cars,
Millions upon millions of. gallons of gasoline are spent every year in pri- motor cars for purposes which may be considered unnecessary in the light of the drastic need across the Atlantic.
If our fighting forces are to get any help at all from Canada, in so far as gasoline is concerned, fuel experts de- clare, then owners of private motor cars must reduce their consumption of gasoline by at least 50 per cent,
Armed with this knowledge who of us is going to refuse to cooperate?

The use of gas is recommended, Car- bon bisulphide is best, It is a liquid which turns to gas when poured on the ground, .
Push a stick into the centre of the nest about 4 inches and rotate it until a 2 inch hole is made, Pour. 1 table- spoonful of carbon bisulphide into the
The gas will work downward into the nest and exterminate the ants, Be very careful of the carbon bisulphide and do not spill it on the grass,
When ants invade the dwelling, a little sodium fluoride sprinkled on the floor they cross will destroy them.
Remember the substances mention- ed are poisonous and must be treated with great care,

A NATIONAL EMERGENCY
Canada is right up against an acute shortage of gasoline and fuel oil.
Tankers that normally supply our country have been commandeered for vitally important overseas service.
The Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the rapid development of Canada’s
mechanized army units and the great work carried on by our corvettes make the demand for fuel urgent.
Our crude oil intake
is limited. There is just one thing
to do if our fighting forces are to carry on with a “full tank”. Every Canadian motorist is asked to cut his daily gas consumption in
half !

go fifty-fifty with your neighbours, inviting each other to share cars... for business, and for pleasure. People can readily go to and from work together, using one car instead of four... using one gallon of gasoline instead of several. Women as well as men can make these savings.
The amount of gasoline used in Canada for business, social and non-essential activities is amazingly high in proportion to that used by our fighting forces. One look at the figures would convince you that this situation must be reversed.

Back On Duty Thrilling Story Of Pilot's Crash And Escape From Orete
|| Fit.-Lt. D. 8S. G. Honor, who was
| shot down into the sea off Crete, lost for six days on the enemy-occupied |island and saved by a big Sunder- land flying boat which spotted his flashlight signal, is back on duty in | Egypt with his Royal Air Force | Hurricane squadron.
| Honor, awarded a bar to his Dis- | tinguished Flying Cross for the Cre- tan exploit which followed the de- struction of two Axis aircraft over Maleme airport, told the story when he reached Cairo with a sergeant- pilot of his own flight who was also shot down and who escaped with him,
The filer was attacking Maleme airport and had intercepted and shot down one Junkers 52 and one 879 when he himself was attacked from below.
“With my elevator and aerial con- |
trol gone, I took what evasive action I could,” the Air Ministry News Ser- vice quoted him as saying. ‘Then a Messerschmitt 109 attacked me close to the cliffs of the bay. To stop attacks from astern, I planed down and hit the water with the air- craft hood closed.
“I went down with the machine 50 feet into the sea without even a win- dow open. Somehow I got out and my ‘Mae West’ brought me to the surface.
“For fully four hours, I tried to get |ashore and it took me an hour to do the last 20 yards. I was in despair lof ever making it, but eventually drifted to a cave and climbed astride a stalagmite like a hobby horse. . .
“I spent the night in that freez- ing cave. They were the worst hours of my life. After daylight I swam my way to a little headland, dried out my clothes in the sun and foot- ed it until I reached a_ goatherd’s empty hut.”
“After much more tramping,” he | continued, “I came upon a little patchwork of green and gold fields with a smal] white house, a sight for sore eyes. It took me four hours to | reach the village. Boy who came to | greet me left me at a church where
the padre gave me water, goats’ | milk, cheese and rye bread. | “Here I was told that another | British pilot had been shot down that day. Almost unbelievably it turned out to be a sergeant-pilot of my own flight . .
“Then there was a friendly discus- sion whether the villagers should turn me over to the enemy as we | were completely hemmed in. I ask- ed for four hours to think it over, realizing that from their point of view it would be better to surrender us, as the poor devils had already had six of their villagers shot by the Germans for supposedly withholding information.
“So we started our journey through the German lines. . ., “No drama can be made of our
crossing of the island, although it was ,German-occupied in parts, but drama did occur. After a meal of egg and chips given us by French-speaking peasants, night came on and we saw ME109's ground-strafing a nearby air- drome, “When heard aircraft ap-

Explanations and Comments
Two Fruitful Years at Ephesus, Acts 19:8-10. At Ephesus Paul fol- lowed his customary method of preaching first of all to the Jews, but when they refused to heed him and spoke evil of “The Way’—the life that accorded with the way of Christ —he left their synagogue with his disciples and preached for two years in the lecture-room of Tyrannus, con- tinuing his labors till “all those that dwelt in [the. provinces of] Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.”
A Notorious Riot, Acts 19:23-41. The goddess Diana (Artemis), whose chief temple was at Ephesus, was the mother-goddess, the goddess of fer- tility, “the fountain of nourishment, the reproductive power that kept the great world ever the same amid the constant flux of things.” Her shrine was constantly visited by crowds of Pilgrims, and the making of minia- ture shrines for them and for the

INTEREST THE VITAMINS PILING UP
The medical scientists who house- keep for vitamins have an unman- ageable lot of charges. It used to: be that there were but five or six vitamins known and they were called’ A, B, C and so on. Now chemists: believe that there are at least eight varieties of vitamin B and at least ten of vitamin D. One member of the vitamin B family is known as: vitamin G, and another as factor Y. Two relatives of the C type are known as J and P.
Perhaps it would be better to calt each vitamin by its chemical name. In such case Vitamin E would be known as tocopherol, C as ascorbic acid and B2 as riboflavin. People are now so used to the name vitamin
Ephesians was an important industry in Ephesus. There were tiny shrines which were worn as amulets, larger ones which were offered as gifts to the goddess, or were kept in the homes and even placed in the grave beside the corpse “as a sign that the dead had gone back to the mother who bore him.’ Many of these little shrines made of marble or terra cot- ta have been found, but none of sil- ver, the latter having been melted, no doubt, because of their intrinsic value. It was among the makers of these small shrines that no small stir arose concerning Christianity, or the Way.
There was even danger, so De- metrius told his fellow craftsmen, that the temple of the great goddess Diana would fall into disrepute, that she would lose her eminent position.
At this they were filled with wrath and cried, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. The city was filled with confusions, Gaius and Aristarchus,

The functions of the several vita- mins are of high interest. The widest functioning one is Vitamin A and it is the only one which is synthesized or activated by animals from their plant food. It is found in livers and yellow body fat of most animals and can be stored up for many months.
To obtain sufficient vitamin A, the diet should contain thin green leaves, bright yellow fruits, vegetables such as carrots, corn and sweet potatoes. Vitamin A prevents night-blindness; it is the most important of all vita- mins for proper tooth formation in growing children and for resistance to infection.
The richest source of the anti- scurvy Vitamin C, is oranges and lemons. Almost any kind of seed, kept in water until it sprouts and then eaten raw, is a very good substi- tute. Manual labourers and athletes need large quantities of Vitamin C. This vitamin mysteriously disappears from the bodies of persons having tuberculosis. Victim of diabetes when given large amounts of Vitamin C, usually require smaller doses of in- sulin.
Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus which the body uses for the building of bones and teeth. It is the only vitamin which does not occur in plant tissue. Its most abundan source is oily fish livers and it is generated in the body by the ultra-violet rays of the sun. Normal adults get all the vitamin D they require when they bask in the sun on beaches. If they drink lots of milk, they need not worry about calcium regulation.

WILKIE DECLARES U.S. NAVY WILL CONVOY SHIPS
New York.—Wendell L. Willkie de- clares “I am quite sure that before long now the great force of the American navy will be brought into play to insure the delivery” of sup- plies to Great Britain.
Wilkie made the statement at the National Broadcatsing Company studios in a recording which was used in a shortwave broadcast to the entire world. NBC released the Speech immediately after it was re- corded,
The 15-minute address was trans- lated into Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese and French for a broad- cast commemorating Independence Day.
“Liberty,” said the 1940 Republi- can presidential candidate, ‘like all doctrines, must be an expanding doc- trine. It must be constantly search- ing out for new areas, or else it will die.
“We understand that if we per- mit the last stronghold of liberty in Europe to fall before the onslaught of totalitarianism that the oppor- tunity to save liberty in America will be lessened and, therefore, the overwhelming percentage of the American people are resolved that at whatever hazard or cost, we will sustain the fighting men of Britain.”
Reviewing the rights and privileges of men and women in a democracy, and describing the characteristics of the American people, Willkie de- clared:
‘I have lived among them. I know them well. And despite the occasional hesitation and doubts, the American people will reach out, will give their utmost to see that this precious thing we call liberty shall not disappear from the world, either in Europe or in Asia or in America.”
At another point, Wilkie asserted that “the spirit of our people is aris- ing to direct that force (industrial and agricultural resources) so that totalitarianism will disappear from this world.”
Willkie recalled a recent conversa- tion he had with men with whom he served in the United States army during the last war and said he told them he was proud that the leaders in the United States now fighting “against isolationism and defeatism” are former soldiers,
“Many people preached for many years to those soldiers that all they did in the last war was futile and to no avail. As I told them, they did not make a mistake of fighting that first world war—as a matter of fact, if they had not, perhaps to-day there would be no liberty to fight for.
“Their mistake was not fighting after the war as citizens to see that the kind of world was brought into being in which there could exist no such force as totalitarianism to-day.”
Earlier, in a domestic radio broad- | Willkie |
cast, “Voices for Freedom,” asserted that uness the United States used her navy immediately to insure deliveries to Great Britain, wil] not and cannot survive.”

Fly Fresh Trout From Canada To England
London.—This fish story is true to tradition!
J. P. Bickell, returning to Britain after a fortnight’s trip to Ottawa and Washington on behalf of the Bri- tish, air ministry, dropped in at the Royal Canadian Air Force officers’ mess in Newfoundland Monday after— noon.
An inviting array of freshly caught speckled brook trout caught his eye and he thought it would be a good idea to take along a few. An oblig- ing officer packed some in a tin be- fore the take-off a couple of hours later.
Tuesday morning the Canadian mining man's bomber alighted at a British airport at about the same time Canadian Air Minister C. G. Power arrived in another big ma- chine.
Mr. Bickell produced the tin, and the cook in the Royal Air Force officers’ mess prepared a tasty dish, which was shared among the pas- Sengers of both aircraft. Needless to say all the fish disappeared.
It wasn’t long before reports were current the King had breakfasted on salmon flown to Britain from Canada, but Buckingham palace said, “We know nothing at all about it.”
Mr. Bickell, who spent two days at his home in Toronto during his trip, commented: “That one certainly grew fast and it’s the first time I’ve heard trout change into salmon.”
Air Training Plan
May Have Decisive Influence On Outcome Of War
Vancouver.—Announcement will be made shortly of more Royal Canadian Air Force squadrons operating in England as such, Prime Minister Mackenzie King said in a speech opening No. 18 Elementary Flying school at Boundary Bay, near here.
One of the reasons Air Minister Power flew to England a few days ago was to arrange for an increase in the number of squadrons making up the Canadian air units operating with the Royal Air Force, he said.
The prime minister told a great throng of people at the Boundary Bay school that after 18 months of preparation the Empire Air Training plan was now “emerging as one of the great forces which is certain to have a decisive influence on the out— come of the war.”

LARGE FORCE OF CANADIAN TROOPS LAND IN BRITAIN
A British Port.—Canada’s battle- primed overseas fighting forces have been strengthened by the largest con- tingent of troops to arrive in the United Kingdom in this war. Head- ed by rugged men of the First Cana- dian Army Tank Brigade, the men streamed ashore in thousands from a huge convoy brought safely across the Atlantic in a mighty naval escort which proved a new Britain’s mastery of the seas, reports Canadian Press.
Fittest and gayest troops to land this year, they poured off their grim, grey ships whistling and laughing at the end of the crossing.
The convoy, sent on Canadian warships, uneventful crossing in pleasant weather. Only incident occurred a few days out when one of the escort ships dumped depth charges over- board, but it was not made known whether a submarine had been lurk- ing in the vicinity.
The troops came ashore in ten- ders, lustily cheering the Royal Navy as they passed units lying about the harbor. They piled their kits in bag- gage cars of the “funny” English trains which chugged from the sta- tion to carry the new arrivals to camps on Britain's battle lines.
The contingent included a com- plete 1,200-bed hospital from Mont-

Mr. Shakespeare, standing atop a pile of trunks, said:

“This is an historic occasion for it marks the first time tank formations jhave cOme from Canada and shows how far-seeing are the Canadian | Sovernment and military in realizing that not only men but machines are needed in this war.

CONFER WITH RUSSIAN STAFF ON WAR PLANS

It was said quthoritatively that Lieut.-Gen. F. N. Masor. tank and blitzkrieg expert who is head of the British military mission to Russia, had reached Russian gen- eral headquarters of the eastern front to aid the Soviet generals on the spot.
In conference with members of the | British military mission at Moscow, | it was reported, members of the Rus- | Sian staff held that the present cam- paign would prove a contrast to that in France last year in which.German | mechanized tongues lashed deep into

gram, Britain is forwarding to Mos- cow details of the secret operational tactics of the British Royal Air Force to aid the Russians in meeting the German aerial attack.
In addition, it was said, Russia is to get at once the secret production methods which Britain used after the collapse of France when a Ger- man invasion of Great Britain seemed imminent.
The government is contemplating sending to Moscow a mission com- posed of representatives of the Bri- tish aircraft industry.
This implied at least a hope that the Russians would not only hold off the Germans for a time but would be able to hold them off until Rus- sian aircraft production could in- crease as did British factories a year ago.
An authoritative informant in re- view of the Russo-German war struck a cautiously confident most the first time.

At about the same time Reuters news agency distributed a despatch, credited to independent French sources, which said that half the German forces of occupation had been withdrawn from France.
Pilots taking part in the sweep over France reported they are having diffi- culty in bringing the German fighters to action, the Nazis keeping out of range until the R.A.F. planes homeward bound.

It was understood here the aliens being sent back to the United King- dom were of the refugee type. All, of course, were civilians, the spokes- man said. They were caught in the general roundup of aliens conducted in Britain more than a year ago.

The spokesman for the Kremlin, the vice-commissar of foreign affairs, S. A. Lozovsky, declared at a press conference that Russia could mobilize “another 10,000,000 people if neces sary without adverse effect on our manpower and material resources

No car keys, no transportation back to town. What to do?

People In Conquered Countries Mast Work For Nasi Machine
The statement of Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands that the people of Holland are being forced to manufac- ture airplane parts and other military supplies, including ships and even submarines, for the German war ma- chine is not surprising. It confirms reports from Holland itself which are duplicated from other countries con- quered by Germany in the last year and a half. The subjugated peoples must labor, sometimes without pay, sometimes at pittance wages, for their Nazi master. Unless they work they cannot eat, and their families starve. In some of the countries, not- ably in Poland, unemployment is pun- ished by shipment to Germany where recalcitrants are more easily dealt with.
This compulsion of alien labor in- dicates the resources now at Hitler’s command. Since he took over Aus- tria he has invaded and occupied ten other countries having a combined population of approximately 137,000,- 000 people. With the factories which have passed into German possession in these conquests under supervision of German and Italian technicians, of whom there is no lack, this im- plies a putative stream of war sup- Plies Mmited only by the raw ma- terials available.
Lack of many of these materials does fortunately limit the supply. The shortage provides a partial ex- planation for the urgency of Nazi demands upon Russia. It further emphasizes the importance of the British blockade and should be an in- centive to speeding up and intensify- ing our own effort to aid.—New York Times.

equipment on farms have increased in recent years, but there is no shortage of horses ready to take over when the exigencies of war cuts down gasoline supplies, as has been forecast.
The Ottawa viewpoint was that pleasure motoring and other non- essential gasoline requirements would be affected long before agricultural activities were affected by the pros- pective shortage of fuel.
The horse population of Canada has shown small variation in the past 10 years, and the 2,857,610 horses reported in 1941 showed a gain of 1.2 per cent. over 1939. In 1937 there were 2,883,000 horses; in 1932, 3,- 089,000 and in 1931, 3,114,000.
Livestock branch officialg noted the unusual condition of numbers of western horses being shipped to east- ern Canada in June, at a time when the movement is normally dormant between the demand for spring work and requirements for bush operations in the fall. They said this might mean some eastern farmers were making sure they will not be caught without motive power if fuel restric- tions are imposed,
Alberta and Saskatchewan repre- sent the main reservoir of horse power in Canada, and about 35,000 farm work animals have been ship- ped east annually for some years,

CHAPTER XIV.
Devona launched her job-hunt that very morning. Clipping the “Help Wanted—Female” column from the big daily paper she'd bought at the station, she borrowed a street map from the desk clerk and planned a campaign.
Naturally, the first day she didn’t find anything. Achingly tired, she forced down a bowl of soup and a sandwich at a corner drug store and plodded back to the hotel to crawl gratefully into the hard, narrow bed. It had been terribly hard work— walking the long blocks between ad- dresses to saye the carfare, waiting in crowded offices, steeling herself for every interview.
But she wasn’t really discouraged, she assured herself before she fell asleep of sheer exhaustion. She couldn’t expect to find a job the very first time she tried.
Not even the second or third day. Nor, probably, the first week. And by having a ‘merchant's lunch” at the Owl every noon, she could sub- stitute fruit and milk in her room for dinners, She lost a little weight, of course, but that was to be expected. More alarmingly, her slim resources fast grew slimmer. That was to be expected, too, she realized with threads of panic fraying her courage. She'd have to find something soon!
At the end of the third week De- vona took stock again. This time with desperation gnawing at her. Everywhere, she’d met the same an- swer. “Sorry, we want experienced help.”
Lips trembling with embarrassment —and sudden terror—Devona didn’t try to answer, walked blindly out of the shabby foyer into the street.
Into the street! That’s where she'd be after 3:30 this afternoon if she didn’t find something.
At noon Devona pawned the pretty gold wristwatch her father had given her on her 16th birthday and the first real bitterness seeped like acid into her head. When this money was gone it meant—the end. Another 24 hours and she was beaten!
It had begun to rain as she came out of the hotel. A fine, drenching rain that would ruin her coat and put the finishing touches on her once- smart shoes. Tears much larger than the raindrops pressed at the corners of her eyes. A shabby appearance wouldn’t help her cause any.
She ran half a block to the canopied entrance of a night club, huddled, gasping for breath, trembling with fatigue under the gawdy striped awn- ing. :
It began to rain now in earnest. A driving, pelting deluge as the sky grew darker. She couldn't go out in that, she thought wearily and sagged against the building. In another moment it might let up.
But in another moment a uniform- ed doorman stopped watching her covertly and stepped toward her.
“Waiting for some one, miss?” he asked, courteous, but his attitude in- dicated very pointedly that the man- agement didn’t encourage loitering in the doorway.
Devona mustered her last scraps of dignity. ‘Yes—a friend,” and hop- ed it sounded as cool as she intended, It was hard to be dignified with rain dripping from the soggy brim of her hat, seeping into her thin-soled shoes.
“Won't you step inside, then miss? he persisted.
Devona hesitated, noticed the in- signia on his visored cap, E] Mexi- cano, in curving gold braid. Where had she seen that before?

The foyer was as deserted. Past. the
luncheon hour now, it was still too early for the cocktail crowd. .“Who was it you said you wanted to see?” The doorman, still at her elbow, watched her suspiciously. Devona hadn’t said she wanted to see any one and he knew it. But she had to say something. Any- thing to give her an excuse to sit down and rest a while in one of these deep-cushfned maroon velvet chairs. “Mr. ——” A name leaped to her tongue out of some subconscious re- “Mr. Macias. Mr. Jose Macias, please.” “Certainly, miss.” The doorman’s attitude changed instantly. “I'll see if he’s in.” Drawing a deep breath, Devona
Macias would not be in or would be busy, or something.
But, no luck. He was in and he would be delighted to see her im- mediately.
Dully she followed the doorman across the foyer to the gray-panelled door marked “Manager.” Now for the showdown and then back out into the streets again. If only she didn’t inside, so light-headed.
For a moment, Mr. Macias, alone in his elaborate, maroon-drapped office, studied her coldly from behind his broad gray and chromium desk. Then, his smile breaking suddenly into recognition, he rose, came to meet her, hands outstretched.
“But, buenos dios, Senorita! This is an unexpected pleasure,” ‘and pull- ing a silver-velvet chair closer, “Please, sit down. I am so happy to see you again. You are in town ona
little pleasure trip?”
“Not — exactly.” Devona smiled wryly, sank into the chair wearily.
“Shopping, then, perhaps. And look, you will stay for the cocktail hour. I promised you some excite- ment, I remember.” He pulled his own chair closer, his handsome dark eyes quick in their appraisal of her.
“No, thank you.” Devona shook her head, anticipated the faint sur- prise in his face when she saw those sharp, black eyes discover her thread- bare, rain-soaked shoes, the neatly darned place in her stocking, the hole in her glove. “You see, I'm hunting a job.”
He stared at her, “You—hunting a job.”
“Yes”—a gay little smile. “And so far I haven't been too successful.” She tried to laugh lightly, but the effort fell thudding against her mushrooming discouragement, nearly ended in a sob.
“But—you are just fooling,” Mac- ias scowled, his handsome face break- ing almost immediately into another smile. “You want the career. Is not that it, Senorita? Something to play with just to amuse yourself—?
Devona shook her head grimly. “No. Something to work at so I can eat!”
For a moment Macias only stared
incredulously.
at her. “But—you are serious?” “Of course. Terribly serious.” She laughed a little. “You see I’m—hun- gry!” “But surely, your friend Mr. Brasher
Devona interrupted that quickly. “Mr. Brasher and I are no longer—
friends.” She swallowed hard. “I’m —absolutely on my own. No one even knows where I am. I left home
for—personal reasons.”
“Come, come. That's too bad. But maybe just a quarrel? You could forgive and—”
“No. I’m never going back,” she said quietly. Not even if it meant an overdose of sleeping powders in- stead. “That’s behind me—forever. Now, I have my own way to make.”
“But you are very young—and very beautiful—to face the world alone.”
Devona shrugged. ‘Nevertheless, I have to get a job. You don't, by any chance, know of any one who needs an untrained, inexperienced girl who speaks three languages, do you?”
He shook his head slowly. “No, I’m sorry. If I did, I would like to help you. I would like to help the— friend of Mr. Brasher.”
“But I'm not a friend of Mr. Brasher—not any” more,” Devona. in- sisted doggedly. She wouldn't fly under false colors, “But———” and this time she succeeded in making her smile real, “I do need a job— desperately.”
Her eyes met Macias’ bold scrutiny pleadingly and for an instant her breath stopped as she saw the sly His teeth, even and hard and white in his swarthy face, his smile a bold chal- lenge now. She found herself re- membering Dale's wry, “Any pretty new face, and with Macias it’s off with the old and on with the new.”
“I see,” he was saying, his eyes smiling while he toyed with some idea.
An idea, Devona sensed instine- tively, that would be more dangerous, probably than starving, So, rising suddenly, she smiled again,

if you do hear of a job, let me know.”
Macias rose, tod. “You must leave your address, Miss Raebourne, I will—be getting in touch with you.”
Even the pseudo-Mexican accent had disappeared from his speech. Not the bowing, anxious innkeeper now! But still—and more dangerously now —the bold, dark-eyed gallant.
Panicked a little, Devona tried to direct her numbed feet to the door. But the long, wearing hours of walk- ing and waiting, the lack of food, the discouragement—all took sudden toll of her flagging strength.
For a moment, the door she faced wavered crazily, then slipped farther and farther out of reach. She was fainting! Terrified, she clutched at 4 chair back, missed it, felt herself fall- ing, falling — falling — into a soft, black cloud.
But she mustn't faint! Not here— not now. Desperately she tried to fight her way back. She must keep her wits. She must!
It was no use. Even the floor was giving way under her now. And— somehow—it just didn’t—matter. (To Be Continued)
Mail For Soldiers
Name Of Post Office Should Be Included When Mailing To Troops Still In Canada
The incomplete addressing of mail intended for soldiers at training in Canada is the cause of numerous Gelays in delivery. Honourable Wil- liam P. Mulock, K.C., Postmaster- General, to obviate this situation, again requests the full co-operation of the public in writing out in full the correct and complete address on all military mail.
It is essential that the post office place-name should always be includ- ed in the addresses of mail posted to soldiers still in Canada because their mail is handled by the civil post offices and not by the Army Postal Service. .The omission of the ‘name of place where the soldier is located” has resulted in many such letters and parcels being forwarded to the Base Post Office, where it is found that the Units named in the address are still in Canada. The resultant delay thus caused, and. the extra work thrown upon the Canadian Postal Corps in locating the addressees of this mail would be entirely eliminated if the rules of correct addressing are observed.
Mail for delivery in Canada should be addressed with the usual complete particulars — Regimental Number, Rank and Name, Name and details of Unit (ie, Company or Section, Squadron, Battery, Holding Unit, etc.) and Name of Regiment or branch of the service, in full; name of the post office where the soldier's unit is located.
Mail for delivery overseas should |
bear the Regimental Number, Rank and Name of soldier, Name and De- tails of Unit, (ie., Company or Secl tion, Squadron, Battery, Unit, etc.) Name of Regiment or branch of the service in full—and the words Canadian Army Overseas, but no place-name should be given.
All letters should be fully prepaid, and a return address should be given in the upper left-hand corner,

Youths Of Military J Age Constantly Escaping To Join De Gaulle
Janet Flanner, writing in The New Yorker, says: In an effort to chan- nelize the energy behind French re- sistance into positive action, the Free French have selected, as their recruiting slogan, “We have nothing but our bare breasts. Let us not stay home and merely try to stir up trouble. Let us flee and join Gen- eral de Gaulle.” This flight of youth is a mixture of patriotism, nomadiza- tion, and desperation in the face of a barren future and the Nazi propa- ganda set out to snare the young in both Occupied and Unoccupied France in their schools, in Youth Camps, and in official youth maga- zines. Not only French boys but French girls are fleeing. French consulates in Spain and Portugal are swamped by these adolescents; in Lisbon recently a hundred French boys and girls suddenly appeared in & group on the streets. As males of military age—from 20 to 48—are for- bidden to leave any part of France, getting over the frontier is a tick- lish job. In Paris, a French reserve officer and his wife were caught and imprisoned after they had aided nine hundred and sixty-five French youths to escape to England. From the Un- occupied Zone there is a regular un- derground-railway route for enlist- ment in the de Gaulle forces, via North Africa. To escape from the Occupied Zone, most of the young fellows at first used Breton fishing boats. To thwart this, the Germans sent Nazis guards out on the schooner when the Bretons went to fish, but the Bretons overpowered the guards and delivered Nazis, fresh fish, and new de Gaulleists all together at English ports. Now the Breton fish- ermen are forbidden to go to sea at all; as fish provide Brittany's principal diet and the principal income for peasants on its coasts, this is a great hardship.

| In some areas where the Jews have not been confined to separate quart- |ers, the wiser Poles wear the white | armband with a blue star of Zion, the sign of the Jew. They know quite | well, that Jews are not deported to Germany for forced labor.

Women For War Work
Several Thousand Women Volunteers Will Be Enlisted
Several thousand women volunteers will be enlisted within the next few months to serve as full-time auxil- {aries in the armed forces, War Ser- vices Minister Thorson announced at a press conference.
The women volunteers will form 4@ pool from which women's auxiliary corps in the army, navy and air force will be supplied by personnel are re- quired,
Applications for entry to the wo- men’s corps will be received by the War Services Department and the National Defence Department will or- ganize the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. - .
National Defence officials estimated that from 2,000 to 3,000 women can be absorbed into this corps in the next six months.
Mr. Thorson asked that women withhold their applications to join un- til the necessary regulations have been worked out. He said that suilt- able recruits would be taken even if they were not members of voluntary women's organizations which have undertaken training in Canada. The plan has no connection with recruit- ing now being done in Canada for women’s services in the United King- dom.
The women will be engaged as drivers of light motor vehicles, as cooks and waitresses in hospitals and messes, as canteen helpers, store wo- men, telephone operators, messengers and clerical workers.
be required to enroll on the same basis as soldiers. Their pay will be “somewhat lower than that of sol- diers,
Mr. Thorson said the present call
ministers agreed service overseas on a voluntary basis would be consider- ed if the demand arose.
Col. Ralston said enrolment would be gradual as accommodation at camps would have to be constructed or billeting space obtained. The corps will have its own officers.

EXERCISE CAN BRING BACK “LOST” YOUTH AND BEAUTY
Double Chin Can Be Conquered
Getting old? That double chin means only that you're getting soft!
Chin and neck exercises, you know, can vanquish a double chin, just as right exercises reduce fatty hips or @ bulgy tummy. When unused muscles are brought back to youth- ful firmness that “lost” beauty re- turns!
A simple daily chin routine, in- cluding this exercise, should do the job very nicely:
1—Turn your head sharply to the right until chin is over right shoul- der. 2--Keeping chin over shoulder, tilt head backward slowly and lift face to ceiling. 3-—Lower head slowly.
Repeat this five times, turn head to left and repeat. After a minute's rest, repeat exercise again until you've dont it 20 times.
Then, if you have other figure problems, go right on with the rest of your “youthifying” program—ex- ercises for unlovely waistline, bust, arms, hips!
Our 32-page booklet has exercise routines to correct all these figure faults, as wejl as poor posture, “dowager’s hump,” heavy legs. Also has general daily exercise routine, special exercises for relaxing tense nerves, relieving aching feet.

tude tea On Australia Takes Action
War Industry Strikes And Lockouts Outlawed For Duration Strikes and lockouts in war indus- tries have been outlawed in Australia “for the duration.” The Prime Min- ister threatened to use the emerg- ency powers given him last year to send “disloyalists responsible for such stoppages” to a concentration camp. At the same time he warned unco- operative employers that he would not hesitate to take over their plants. With the exception of New Zealand, Australia has proportionately the strongest Labor party in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Thirty- six of the 74 seats in its House of Representatives are occupied by Lab- orites, Yet that has not prevented Australia from banning strikes and other stoppages of work, which would |interfere with its all-out effort.

Dr. K. W Neatby Director, Agricultural De partment North-West Line Elevators Association Demonstration Plots
Two weeks ago, in this column, the importance of regular visits to ex- perimental farms and stations was stressed, Farmers and others unable to visit government institutions or to spend time enough to become famil- jar with various crops and varieties will be interested in the plots now being grown by grain buyers of elevator companies associated with this department.
Three hundred and sixty plots, each containing either 40 or 50 varieties, have been sown and are being maintained by grain buyers in the three prairie provinces. The plots with 40 varieties consist of annual crops only. Those with 50 contain, in addition to annual crops, alfalfa, sweet clover, brome grass, crested wheat grass, etc.
In order to secure the greatest pro- fit from crops, it is necessary to grow pure stocks of approved varieties. It is impossible to do this without first becoming familiar with the charac- teristics and adaptations of all varieties likely to be found as crops or as mixtures. In addition to small grains and well-known forage crops, varieties of corn? sorghum, sun- flowers and soya beans have been included, Literature dealing with the characteristics of all varieties may be obtained from the buyers in charge or from this office. These plots will have a special appeal for school classes and junior clubs,
A large green sign beside the road is an invitation to improve your knowledge of farm crops. If you do not know where to find the nearest plot, enquire from the Agricultural Department, The North-West Line Elevators Association, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
