Stations. More arrests were promided as police pressed an Investigation into the operations of an organization they said had been relaying mill tary information to Berlin as a world clearing house for the Qer- man espionage system. "The organization is not yet era- dicated," sald one source, "but ft is hoped that this initial blow will lead to a cleanup of South Amerl- can leaks to Berlin," Among the 200 already under ar- rest, police said, are a German admiral and a number of other Nazi government and army offi cials. who allegedly held key post. tions in the esplonage network, Radio Stations Selzed One radio station seized was lo. cated in fashionable Le Blon su- burb in a private residence occup!- ed by Niels Christiensen, described officially as "one of the most fam- our German radio techniclans." Police said Christensen, who was taken into custody, was In daily communication with Berlin by means of his short-wave transmit. ter which had a range of 9,000 miles. In Christensen's possession police said they found 11 detailed reports on vessels in Rio de Janeiro har- bor and additional secret informa. tion recorded on micro-film, It was said daily reports had been sent to Berlin including informa- tion on movements of North Amer- fean _and British shipping as well as other vital military data, The wholesale arrests necessl- tated opening of a concentration camp at Flores Island in Rio de Janeiro harbor, Local jails al- ready are crowded wit suspected fifth columnists rounded up since Brazil severed relations with the Axis in January. Police also raided a monastery of German friars at Sao Franclsco, In Bahia state, and seized large quantities of propaganda material! Canadian Copies German Machine A week before war was de- clared, the. Australian Common- wealth Government received from Germany four gauging and weigh- ing machines to test .303 ammu- nition, but they were not enough. At. the same time a machine toolmaker "arrived in Australia' from Canady. Shown the ma- chine, he said he could copy ft ----and he did. In fact, the ma- chines he has made since--quite -a number--are working to a greater degree of acuracy: than _ the German, and they cqst little more. Japs Planned War F or Twenty Years Invasion Rehearsals Supple- mented by Fifth Column Activities Japan's plans tor conquest have been in preparation for twenty years on a scale far bolder than any campaign conceived by Nazi Germany, Mark J. Gayn, veteran Far Eastern correspondent, reveals fn-an article in 'the April fssue of The Reader's Digest. The island of Hainan, off the South China coast, was seized by the Japanese In 1939 as a base and drilling ground for tfoops especl- ally trained for an assault on Ma. laya. In the greatest secrecy, un. penetrated by even the Chinese intelligence service, the hest in the world, Japan filled the island jungle with handpicked soldiers and top generals, who put to severe "tests-the tactics which have since succeeded amazingly agalnst the British. It" was these same infil tration troops that broke up the defences of Malaya and Burma, Gayn further Philippine invaders were trained for two years on the Island of For. mosa. Landing operations, under conditions identical with those ot the actual invasion, were rehearsed thoroughly by land, alr and naval forces. All these dress rehearsals were supplemented by the most vicious and long-ranged Fifth Column ac- tivities that this war has yet seen, Japanese fishermen, long known to the Philippine and Hawaiian walerfronts, greeted the invaders , In naval uniforms; Inland operat. org revealed the location of alr defence sites, The puppet rulers - bl the.

A steward stood at the gangway of the liner and Kept shouting for the benefit of the passengers: ""Iirst class to the right, second class to the left." i A young woman stepped dain- tily aboard with a baby in her arms. As she hesitated before the steward, he bent over her and. said in his chivalrous way: "First or second?" "Oh!" said the girl, her face as red as a beetroot. it's--it's not mine!" On a little service station away out on the edge of a western desert there hangs a shingle, beacxing this strange legend: . "Don't ask us for information. [If we knew anything we wouldn't be here." B Willie had been sent out into the garden to look after his baby brother. Suddenly mother was aware that the baby was crying. "Do stop baby crying, and give him what he wants," she called out. Almost immediately came an anguished scream from outside. "Willie, I told you to give baby what 'he wants!" shouted mother. "I did 1hother; but the bee stung him!" replied Willie. Elsie: "My husband is an efficiency expert in a large office." Naomi: "What does an ef- ficiency expert do?" Elsie: "Well, if we women . did it, they would call it nagging."

Canada Afr Lines commence their familiarization flights on April 1, A month later, on May 1st, anticipated that regular passenger, express .and air mail service will be established on regular sched- ules. Announcement to this effect was made by D. R. MacLaren, super- intendent of passenger service. Mr. MacLaren stated that a ten- tative flying time of four and a halt hours had been decided upon from Moncton to Torbay airport, the flight terminus close to the capital city of St. John's, He point- ed out that the distance covered by the airplane in four and a halt liours sometimes takes the same number of days, by steamship and rail, when present ocean transport conditions are considered. He spoke of the desirability of establishing a speedy and regular air service to Newfoundland, and stated that not only would the airliners span the breadth of the continent from Vancouver to St. John's in 24 fly- ing hours, but that Winnipeg would be brought within eighteen flying hours of Newfoundland, Toronto 11 hours, Ottawa nine hours, and Montreal eight--hours. Operations Superintendent F. M. McGregor emphasized the vital importance of Trans-Canada in speeding up Canada's war effort and pointed to the tremendous in- crease In all three branches of T. C- A. services available to the publie, passenger, express, and airy -mail, and stated -that during the past year the airline routes had "been increased by- 10 per cent. A total of almost 7,250,000 miles was flown by T. C. A. airliners during 1941. Asks Motorists To Save Anti-F reeze Chemicals Controller J. D. Lori- mer of the Munitions and Supply Department said "hundreds of thousands of gallons of industrial --alcohol" may be saved if Cana- dian motorists will drain and store J their anti-freeze for use again next winter. Replacement of alcohol used this season would involve upwards of 2,000,000 gallons next year if no attempt at economy were made, Mr. Lorimer said, stressing that "industrial "alcohol is "sorely needed in the manufdcture of explosives." Illustrating, he said that the --manufacture of the propellent for a single shot from a 16-inch gun requires enough alcohol to keep more than twenty automobiles in * operation for the winter, Glass containers, tightly cap- ped to prevent evaporation, were recommended "as 'receptacles for draining purposes |NARD S bY LinmenNT it 1s - : [Shekoaae Modern Etiquette 1.

What Science Is Doing HEALING AGENTS Chlorophyll, the green coloring matter in plants, along with bar- herry roots, cod liver oil and sul- fanilamide, are the newest ans- wers to quick healing of war and other wounds, says World Wide News Service, The use of sulfanilamide or one of its derivatives for the prompt treatment of wounds by a wound- ed soldier himself has already been recommended to the War Department, If the recommenda- tion goes through, every soldier" will carry in- his first aid kit a small bottle containing five grams of sulfanilamide with instructions to break it and pour the powder directly into a wound. The de- partment is also now 'contem- plating equipment of every soldier with sulfanilamide tablets which he can take after injury. . " * Chlorophyll is being used dl- rectly in wounds, is given by mouth and injected into the veins to stimulate wound healing.

In the same 'class Is the bar- berry plant, which the United States Department of Agriculture has tried to eradicate for years because it harbored the fungus of one form of rust in wheat. The effective material in the barberry plant is barberine, long used by the Indians to treat surface in-. fections. -This, the scientists hdve found, will, even in a one per cent solution, kill the streptococel which cause erysipelas within eight hours. It has also been used with considerable success in the treatment of ulcers, mouth infec- tions and bed sores. Cod liver oil has proved effec- tive for infected wounds. HOw CAN I? Q.

A cement for steam and water pipe joints can be made by mixing 10 Ibs. of yellow ocher, 4 Ibs, ground litharge, 4 lbs. whit- ing, 3%-l1b. of hemp, cut up fine. Mix together "with linseed oil to about the consistency of putty. Q. How: can 1 make a good substitute for a ring mold? A. Fill a glass jar with chopped ice, seal, and set into a bowl Pour the mixture to be molded around the jar. Remove the jar when the mixture is well frozen, Q. How can 1 make. glass opaque? A.

By applying a weak solution of water and oxalic acid, It should be applied with a paint brush and pressed with blotting paper, as the acid might effect the color of the paper, It might be neces- sary to repeat this process.a see- ond or third time. Q. How can 1 make amelling aalts? A, You may make your own smelling salts by breaking one ounce of rock volatile into small pieces, covering with eau de cologne, and allowing to stand for a few days before using. When you are putting away an ice cap, rubber gloves, or rubber bag, fill with rolls of paper. This will prevent rubber from sticking. To Restrict Railway Travel For Pleasure It was intimated in Oitawa that restriction of travel by rail for purposes of pleasure may soon be applied. There is now the intimation that trips mgpy be lim- / ited to one hundred miles. There would always be, of course, op- ° portunity for necessary travel but the: whole may be regulated by ) permit, The, 'question is not new. to the _ railways. They have been con- sidering /it.- All the lines are "full up" with trains' 'running be- tween many points in two or more sections,. They are carrying troops and munitions and ecivil- ians. To do-it, only so .much rolling 'stock is available, When steel is so greatly in demand for war purposes, it is not the easiest to get for other purposes, though wartime transportation is one of the priorities. The Canadian Pacific will not open some of its smaller summer hotels this year and the Canad- ian National may follow the same policy. Any restriction on unnecessary 'travel would be quite in line with the policy of restricted consump- tion of civilian services as well as goods, enunciated repeatedly by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in statements and by ad- dresses by 'the chairman, Donald Gordon. U.S. Will Reduce . Tea Consumption The War Production Board has ordered the nation's tea supply cut in half to conserve dwindling tea supplies. . The order was intended, the board said, to stretch 'the stocks of tea on hand in this country on January 1--which it was said would have lasted six months un- less ® restricted--to a full year's supply. The order dos not take into account tea received at a normal rate- from the Far East during January and February, and W.P.S. said there was 'reason to believe" that tea would con- tinue to enter this country in ships returning from voyages tak- ing military supplies to the West- ern Pacific, Jap 'Chute Dress In Easter Parade A silk dress made from the parachute of a Japanese aviator will be the Easter parade finery of June Ottley, 17, of Spring- field, 'Mass. - June seized the parachute from a Japanese plane after it plummeted to earth be- side lier Pearl Harbor home dur- ing the December 7 attack.
