A: soldier is sent alone into, a dark room, which is equipped sound films and dummy guns, . As _he handles hears the noise divebombers. At the same time, through spe- cial steroseoplc glasses, he wat. ches films which show planes div- ing on him. All the time someone outside lobs dummy hand grenades and bombs into the room, so that the soldier is choked with the fumes of burning cordite and deafened by real explosions too. ~ After three or four spells of this, most men can go into battle with iron nerves. the guns, he of bombs and Dutchmen Outwit German Decrees Two recent decrees of the Ger- man authorities in Holland were received in (different ways--one caused derision, the other annoy- ance. : When the order came that all squares and stréets in the coun- try named after members of the House of. Orange should change their napes, the burgomaster of Rotterdam immediately complied before the order could be modi- fied. His example, according to news that has reached The Sune day Times of London, has been ~ emulated by others, . His renaming included "Van Hogendorp," "Vander Duyn van Naasdan" and others connected with the restoration of the mone archy alterdthe Napoleonic oceu- pation, The other order ousted -the Queen's effigy from coins. In the case of small brassyand silver pieces this was done wilh an alloy of copper, easily removed by acid, thus restoring the effigy, until the German-controlled mint turn- ed out small coins of zine. But what caused Dutch annoyance was the guilder. Over the face of the Q toc bad been stamped the Canada's Indians Uphold Traditions Canada's Indianz are upholding nobly the loyal traditions of their gallant ancestors. According to preliminary figures, over 1,200 Indians have already enlisted in the armed forces in Canada, and there are, no doubt, many Indian -enlistments - which "have not -been reported "to the cpartment of Mines and Resources. Some Can- adian Indians are known to have enlisted in the American air force and may now be striking down the enemy with winged Toma. hawks instead of the tomahawk which their forbears used in days gone by. According to the official rec- ords of the Deartment, more than 4,000 Indians enlisted for active service in the Canadian Expedi. tionary Force during the Jast war, This number represented approxi. mately thirty-five per cent of the Indian male population of mili- tary age in the nine provinces, French Labor will Fight By Sabotage French organized labor, driven underground, in a May Day mes- sage to workers of the world pledged themselves to fight the Germans with sabotage and ap- pealed to labor in the free count- ries to produce "the instruments of victory." ) The message, smuggled from France to the International Fed- eration of Trade Unions in Lon- don, addressed workers every- where, and particularly - those in Great Britain, the United States and Russia, who, it said, "are carrying the heaviest burden 'of liberation", "We do not ask you to pity us, but we do ask you to keep con- fidence in us," it declared. "We are not accomplices to treachery. It is by the sheer force of a threat of starvation that our peo- ple are forced to work for Ger- many." Declaring that an immense in; prisoned army is backing (fencral Charles de: Gaulle's Free French cause in France, the Iabor stite- 'ment added that "the enemy per- haps will not always have enough chains to prevent ug. from fight« -burst open.

The court trial was proceeding very smoothly until the lawyer at- tempted to bring out the import- ant points of a conversation that Pat had had with the defendant. "Now, - then," said the -lawyer encouragingly, '"pleass tell 'the jury what you and the defendant talked about." "That I'll do," replied Pat. "We talked about ten minutes." "No, no!" interrupted the law- yer. " mean what did you and the defendant talk over?" gl "Oh, that!" replied Pat" calm. ly. "Sure, and we talked over the tiliphoue, sir."

Stepping out of a luxurious car, a middle-aged woman, dressed in expensive furs, approached the sentry and asked if she. .could speak to her soldier son. "He is a tall young man," she explained, -- "rather good-looking, _ with blue eyes, and .called Clar- ence Montmorency." The sentry stopped her. "I know," he said. Then, putting his head around the guard-room door, he shouted, "Hi, Stinker, you're wanted." ---------- 1} The movie usher was in the dentist's chair.

An elderly farmer often drives into a central Michigan village with his horse and buggy. Some of the boys like to "hitch on" behind the buggy with their wag- ons. When the driver wishes his horse to speed up, he simply shakes his buggy whip over the equine's back. One boy, who was breathlessly telling his father about the fun, exclaimed -- "and Daddy, when Mr. Brown wants old Dobbin to 'step on it' he just shakes the aerial over his back." t "I hope, dear, that you get up when you're called," wrote the fond mother to her boy in the Arm#, "and don't keep the regiment waiting breakfast for you." "Do you, know who I am?" shouted the' irate general to the - Australian who had néglected to saluté him. "Do you know who I am?" he persisted, as the soldier looked blankly at him. bg 'Here, boys,' said the Aust- ralian, turning Yo "his friends. "Here's something good.!

National Geo- graphic Magazine. These rush or- ders came ostensibly from Swiss - watchmakers, They wanted the metal, many pounds of jt, ship. ped at once to Europe by Clipper. ¢ + Now, beryllium [8 a modern .miraclo metal and one of the in. creasingly important it least. known sinews of mechanical war, Less than two percent of it by weight, it alloyed with copper, will make that soft red metal so had It wlll cut steel. Used in gprings and in diaphragms of del- icate Instruments, heat-treated beryllium alloys stick to their job even under fiercely corrosive con- ditions. In tests made under a salt spray, springs of beryllium copper have gone on functioning _ long after thelr spring-steel rivals have broken. "Hepe springs eternal and so does beryllium," might be this metal's slogan. : Such Spartan refusal to quit ia the pinches has given beryllium a small but crucial part in the vitals of today's mechanical armies, ale fleets, and navles. It serves in the apparatus which aims big guns and in other military equipment so secret that detalls cannot be given here. 3 . LJ * .

The metal plays its life-or-death role ia the motor and instrument panel of every American warplane and those of every other; major powee --provided they can get it. Hence the sudden ,urgent needs of "Swiss watchmakers" aroused a healthy suspicion in the United States," particularly since a few pounds of beryllium, alloyed as it Is. with 96 or 98 percent of cop- per, -would make enough watoh- springs to supply the, whole world, _.

New Regulations Regarding Tires Order Tightens Control Over New Tires and New Tubes Retreaded and used tires, used tubes, and retréading services, as 'well as new tires and new tubes, are now 'under rigid control, ac- cording to an announcement by Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply. Effective May 15, the new or- der is designed to conserve Can- ada's rubber purposes, to prevent hoarding, and to keep essential vehicles, including farm trucks and imple- ments, in operation ay long "as possible, The order tightens the previ- ous control over new tires and new tubes. It sets up three classes of eligible vehicles, "A," "B) and "C," on a sliding scale gaug- ed according to the usefulness of the vehicle to a country at war, and -it rules out the 1,000,000 or more motorists who are no longer able to buy even a used tube, When a dealer has two or more orders for a similar tire or tube, 'and 'he cannot fill both orders, he must give preference to the owner of a vehicle in a higher class, Owners of vehicles in Class "A" are permitted to buy new tires, new tubes, retreaded tires, re- treading services, used tires or used tubes. In this class are such vehicles as cars used by physici- ans, cars belonging to clergymen . who serve two or more congrega- tions more than three miles apart, cars used by clergymen in sparse- ly settled districts, trucks for road repairs,' trucks for carrying farm products and foods, fire fighters' vehicles, police vehicles, and farm tractors and harvester combines, other than automobiles and trucks, for the operation of which tires .and tubes are essen- tial. Owners of vehicles in Class "B" are permitted to buy re. treaded tires, retreading services, used tires "and used tubes. In this class are rural mail carriers, passenger cars or trailers used principally for the transportation of produce and supplies to and from his farm by a person whose -principal occupation is farming, and who owns no truck, and oth- ers. ; Owners of vehicles in Class "C'" may purchase only used tires and used tubes. Included in this class are vehicles used. principally in the course of their duties by the following: Farm or food products inspectors, dentists or optometrists who serve more than 'officer, one community, scrap buyers, sheriffs or other lay enforcement servicemen who repair farm machinery, rural school teachers, rural undertakers, and newspaper reporters. Also cov- ered in this class are horse-drawn. vehicles and farm implements for the operation of which tires are essential. supplies - for. war CHEWING TOBACCO Britain Depends. On Rubker From Ceylon It's true Britain didn't build important stockpiles and has few facilities for reclaiming rubbee but, if Ceylon is held, Britain's rubber situation won't be toe dire, says Newsweek, London estimates wartime rubber require. ments 'at about 150,000 tons a year, and rubber exports from Ceylon alone last year totalled 83,937 tons, Experts say tha with heavier tapping, the island' output could be considerably im- creased--perhaps enough to mest curtailed requirements.
