What is che customary way to mark the bride's wedding ring? ANSWERS 1. No; in this instance uo .-otiie quick thinking:, and give an an- swer one way or the other. 2. It is customary for thj husband's card to be placed in the space provided for this purpose. 3. The class should be held slightly be- low the centre, with the thumb and first two fingers. 4.

Substitutes Found For Manila Fiber Hops May Be Mads From Jute, Cotton, Hemp, Nylon Along with siik, camphor, ruij- her, and other items, matula fiber, best of rope-making materials, mu.st be included in the list of Japan-caused shortage*. Hope, moreover, ia quite an im- i'oi-.int article. Without rope, tugboats couldn't p4y then trad; tiiercliant ships and war vi-sseli couldn't sail; ranyera wouUl have to do without scaling nets. eu. Perhaps next beat on the list of ropa fibers, is the sisal, ar a;rve, which may be obtained from Afrii-a. Another agave, henequen (principally ustd in binder twine), is o-btainabia from Mexico and Cuba. This sisal rope ia only about 75 per cent, aa strong, gizs for sue. as rope made from nianila fiber. VIene<iueu rope has only about 60 per cent, of the sttenirth of -MI ,1.1. 185,000 Acres In Hemp Hope also may b made from such fibers as jute, cotton, and hiMup. Hemp ia a familiar rope fiber. The old sailing vessels, be- f'>ro the introduction of inanila to this country in 18^0, were hemp- rope equipped. And hemp will soon be a real addition to the domestic rope fiber supply. Phi* spring 185.000 acres of Corn Belt land are to bo planted in hemp for fiber, and 50,000 acres, more for seed. And in 1940 the entire li..>mp acreage in the United States wad less than 2.000 acres. Various other natural fibers axe being- experimented with for cord- iiirv. Anioiijf these may be mcn- tioned the yucca, *crub palmetto, and such plants as caroa of Brazil, fiijue- of Colombia, ami malva blaiica of Cuba. Nylon Too Covtly Not all rope fibers are obtained from plants. Rope spun from man- made nylon fibers ia proving in- valuable for irlider tow-ropes and lias been an important factor in making practicable the flying pick- up of motorless craft. At present tha matter of cost stands in the way of the general use of nylon fibers for rope, but it i thouarht that the cost niay drop consider- ably under <|iiantity 'iroduction. Resep.rchers are also experi- menting with other substances from which rope can be made, and viscose and acetate rayon fibers show promise. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING WOOD OF GROWING TREES CAN BE DYED The. staining and dyeing of finished lumber ia a process Tn which, in most cases, thi color does not extend very deeply into the body ot the wood, write* W. P. Keasbey in The Christian Science Monitor. An experimenter, however, claims to have developed a means of coloring the wood of living .rees in auch fashion that when the treated trees later ar felled and sawed into lumber, the wood thus obtained will b uniformly and beautifully colored froi-i heart to bark. The color thus introduced into the ttiM-1 i- <aid to be practically indelible, beintr resistant to the bleaching action either of acid or t> f water. Tins inventor of the process maintains also that the uw of dy does not injure the tree. '!'!> trees dyed experimentally Incl : ie small beech, birch, and maple trees. The treatment in- H first, the borinir of several holes at the base of the trunk. Next, the holes are fitted with cor.tui:iers hung from the tree branchr.i .i:l serving as reservoirs for the dye. The liquid flows through th tube* :\v gravity into the holea in the trunk, where it mingles with the circulating sap of the wee. The iiMVi-ment of the sap carrie* the coloring matter I the composi- tion of which is kept secret by the inventor I to every part of tha tree. The tune required to com- plete the dyeing process ia given as two days for small trees and four days or more for larger one*. By means of this dyeing system, natural wt>ol ha* been colored lavender, blue, yellow, and or- ani;e. Test* indicate that dye- treated treea have harder wood than untreated tiees of the same- variety, which, for some wood- working purposes, may be an ad- vantajrr. This new dyed wood has been made into colored umbrella han- dles, candlesticks, buttons, etc. These products neeii no staining or paintinsr on'y polishing.

Picob IT DOES TASTE GOOD IN A PIPE I GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO Nazi 'Blonde' Shot Down In Bomber Food For TunU The first train carrying food for civilian* of Tunia sine* the Axia defeat arrived in that capital of Tunisia recently amid cheers from crowds gathered at tha sta- tion. The cars were draped with flags of the Allied nations. The city was .tripped of food by the Germans. Because serious sabotage re- ulte<i. Uermany has stopped the use of prisoners of war ir load- ing railway cars and ships. A story of girl gunners in Nazi bombers is being told by Ameri- can, soldiers wounded in Tunisia. "One of the girl (runners shot down near us," aaid Sergeant Vic- tor R. Woodward, of Seymour, Ind., "was a very pretty blonde. Girla are small enough to fit int# the tail position of German bomb- ers, and there is no reason why they can't shoot as well as men. Faint brush bristles for essen- tial war purpose* come from China, and are flown out of that country by returning Allied fliers.
