THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE, ONT., JUNE 1, 1944 GERMAN BACK-TALK IN ITALY German caption on photo above, received in London from Stockholm, says picture shows German field piece in action against Allies on the southern Italian front. WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Water Can Be Used To Start A Fire Water is almost universally thought of as a primary, fire extinguisher, writes W. P. Keasbcy in the Christian Science Monitor. , However, under certain special foe. Most of us have used a burning glass or have seen one used. A burning glass is merely a lens of magnifying glass ground in such a way that it brings to a sharp focus the rays of right which pass through it. When used in bright *unli8ht it can concentrate all the rays that fall on its surface (say three inches in diameter) onto a tiny area nich bigger than a pinhead. This of i Mil:- sponding concentration heat, and when the sunlight fall-ling on the burning glass is focused on dry paper, dry shavings, or other readily combustjlbe material, the heat will soon cause the substance first to char, then to smoke, and finally to burst into flame. Water has two properties ii. common with glass and these properties make it possible for water to start a fire. Clean water is transparent like glass. Also, like glass, •water bends rays of light that pass through it at an angle. This bending of light rays by water is familiarly seen in the fact that a stick or a pencil, thrust into water at an angle, seems to bend where it enters the water's surface. Since water lets light pass through and oends it as it passes, H water is placed in a clear glass container of the proper shape, it can act like a burning glass--it can concentrate rays of sunlight to such an extent that their focused heat can cause combustible material to burst into flame. Water in a goldfish bowl might produce such an effect. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. What would be considered the 2.

BOI 'MECCA" OINTMENT War Bill Will Pass Trillion Dollar Mark By the end cf this year the cost of the war to all belligerent nations will be near the almost unimaginable total of a trillion dollars, says the Winnipeg Free Press. The bill will pass the trillion mark in 1945, according to figures compiled by the Tax Institute of New York. A trillion dollars is a million million or a thousand billion--a sum never used in human history before to reckon the cost of war or any other activity. The Tax Institute calculates that the Axis so far has spent about the United Nations. But the balance of • xpeoiiittire.- is now -'lifiing rapidly and this year the United Nations will spend $150 billions as against an estimated* total Axis expenditure of $50 billions. It must be remembered, of course, that a dollar will buy more in the Axis countries than in the Allied countries, where wages and living standards are •higher. Lend-Lease Trucks ; Aid Russian Drive Nearly 250 planes, more than 230 tanks, and 7,000 other military motor vehicles a week were sent over-' seas from the United States to Allied nations during January and February under the Lend-Lease program, Leo. T. Crowley, United States rorcic't! Economic Adminis-iptor, reported. Mr. Crowley credited tens of thoo-ands of Lend-Lease trucks with playing a vital role in the gbviei westward drive in the Ukraine and Crimea. ^Furthermore, Soviet - produced tank' were augmented In the offensive drives by Lend-Lease General jfcernians, Mr. Crowley added. ' ijpince March 11, 1941, the United State's .ha' produced more than 103,-OQti planes, 50,000 tanks and 2,000,-000 other military vehicles, Mr. Crowley reported, adding that the United States retained four-fifths of the plane' and two-thirds of the other equipment.
