And to make 'the contribution doubly welcome, no additional precious shipping co is required, For the milk packed in bright 'coloured paper- eovered tins and shipped right in the cartridges. Under "contracts from the De- partment of Munitions and Sup- y, this plant makes a type of 8s cartridge case destined for w large artillery gun. In packing, #ts size and shape. leaves just enough space in which to squeeze two tins of powdered milk. No space is wasted. No cost is ad- ded. . Here is how it's done: Each month, the employees and man- agement provide the necessary funds for the purchase of 2,000 tins of powdered milk, each the equivalent of one quart, The eans are wrapped in a corrugated sleeve by the young women who pack the cartridge cases, Then they are slipped into the cart- ridges. On cach tin is stamped: "Best wishes. from the Canadian Motor Lamp Company, Windsor, Canada." The stores are then packed in the ordinary way into wooden boxes, "and marked with the usual identification and ad- dress stencil, The only extra mark is a large "M". stamped in blue on the box. This letter "M" tells the em- ployees in the explosives filling plant in England that the box contains milk for chiklren. They unpack these boxes first, and turn the milk over to one of the wo- men's organizations who look after its distribution. . Guns or butter? No. ridges and milk! Gart- New False Teeth Made of Plastic Now your fillings, even false teeth inlays or can remain a secret known only to you and your dentist. A newly developed organic plastic, known as acrylic, not only defies detection, but has almost the feel of real teeth, Dr. La Mar W. Harris of Chicago told the Missouri Dental Association con- vention. Teeth made of 'this material defy not only the naked eye, but also the most powerful camera in a movie closeup, making the plas- tic particularly atiwactive to mo- vie stars, Until acrylic was introduced in dental work, porcelain was the only material in general use to simulate natural teeth. Porce- Jain had two drawbacks, brittle- ness and unsatisfactory color, ~ Harris said- one advantage of ""the use of the plastic was elimin- ation of the harsh shock of biting against porcelain, Instead, the acrylic tooth has the soft feel of a real tooth, : "In 4ddition, the acrylic tooth absorbs ninety-three percent of the surrounding light, against about thirty-five percent of light absorption in porcelain.' This makes for much better color blending." > Acrylic teeth and inlays have been 'in usc only five years, so dentists . do not have sufficient information to estimate its lasting qualities. Tests have indicated, though, that the plastic will re- main clear under all conditions, And said Dr. Harris: + "Beauty is the big thing in dentistry, Half of my fronv teeth are acrylic, but you'd never guess it."

"haired _POSTUM | Britain Finds Use For Old Balloons The straw in the thousands of pallinsses on which the British Army sleeps is now regularly turned into paper as fresh straw takes its place. Today, it, is laid 'out to air thor. oughiy, then packed up in bales and sent off to the paper mills, Jute from tattered sand bags goes on from the Army salvaga depots wo the paper makers, too. There is not much that the de- pots do not collect. Lvery week one of them alone handles 6500 tons of iron, steel, aluminum and tin, Jt sorts out empty bottles and sends them back to the brewers, the distillers and the wine merchants. Thousands of old batteries ure returned to the makers that the carbon may be reclaimed. Old barrage balloons become strips of rubber sheeting made into watertight covers for tanks shipped overseas. Cotton reels sent in by the Women's Volun- tary Services and the Girl Guides are used by the Royal Engineers for cable-rests in laying tempor- --ary telephone and telegraph lines. More than 15,000 of them have - come along : Last year, this one depot col- lected 869 tons "of army paper for salvage and sold it at £6 « ton; in all, the Army got £100,000 for its salvage in a year and passed the money on to war funds.

When he arrives in London, he tales a cab, doesn't. know Finally he tells the driver to take him to the "Wel. 'come Snail." : ..

His arms crushed her to him, and their "lips met in the ecstasy of a first kiss. The "Welcome Snail" drifted away and in its place, they stood in a romantic heaven all- their own. Unheeded, outside, the sirens were wailing an "Alert." Pierre was tapping their shoul- ders, his face reflecting 'supreme embarrassment.
