MEMO TO DRIVERS FROM FDR TIRE WEAR VS. CAR SPEED TIRE Li ? This tire-life chart so Impressed President Roosevelt that he asked his secretary to put it "before the eyes and ears of all driver* all over the country." The President's copy of the chart, which was prepared by the automobile and rubber industry committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers, is shown above. It reveals that a tire'* normal life is doubled when driving speed i reduced from 40 to 30 milw an hour. HOW CAN I? Q. How can I polish out small scratches on glass? A. They may be partially pol- ished out by rubbing with rouge wet with water upon a piece of soft leather. However, if th scratches are deep, it will be necessary to grind them out with the finest flour emery, such as that used by opticians, and the spot polished with rouge and water in a piece of soft leather. Q. Hw can I remove calcimine? A. Ordinary calcimine may be washed off with water. However, if necessary, add some alkaline substance such as soap powder, ammonia, trisodium phosphate, or borax, to the water. Q. How can I loosen the dirt when soaking curtains? A. A half-cup of salt added to the water in which curtains are being soaked loosens the dirt more rapidly and aids materially in the laundering. Q. How can I repair a leak in the rubber hot water bottle? A. By applying several pieces of liquid court plaster, lilting each piece dry before applying the next, and making each piece a little larger than the preceding one. Q. What is the best method of cleaninp eye glasses? A. By first moistening the tips of the fingers, rubbing them over a cake of soap, and then rubbing them over the sides of the lens. Polish as usual. Cold cream or vaseline are also very good cleans- ers. Rub well afterwards with tissue paper. "Bring Your Scrap And Cook A Jap" The scrap heap, now beginning to tower on many a village green, invites the antiquarian to linger for a pensive moment, remarks The New York Times. "Hring your scrap and cook a Jap," says a sign rising above a huge old iron cauldron that reminds of the departed days of home-made soap. The horse-and-buRgy age is well represented; one sees bridle bits, wBKon wheel jacks and tires, horseshoes shiny from being tossed at iron stakes, carriage lamps still holding their candle stubs, and a metal currycomb. There are doorstep mud-scrapers, a fireplace crane, the frame of a boneshaker bicycle, a rusty anvil and a Civil War cistern pump. Numerous are heavy iron pots and kettles with legs to hold them out of the flame, and flatirons that needed strong and devoted hands to push them. Treasured, or at least saved, for generations, these possessions come now to serve the country's need. Have You Heard?

The jeweler showed him the different styles. One in particular, he told him, was an eight-day clock. "What do you mean?" asked the customer. The jeweler ex- plained it would run eight days without winding. "For the love of Mike!" ex- claimed the man. "How long would it run if you did wind it?" Dad I'll teach you to make love to my daughter, young man. Suitor 1 wish you would. I don't seem to ha doing so well. "It is odd how one's clothes react on one's mentality.

What Science /s Doing BLOOD DRYING British scientists arc spending a legacy of nearly $100,000 on a blood freezing and drying plant which will carry devolopment of life-saving plasma still another great stride forward. Kvery dol- lar spent may represent a life or more saved. Building of the machine, largest yet erected for the freezing and drying of plasma, will put Britain ahead in a field of science which is being diligently studied, for peace as well as war, by all fight- ing nations. It was made possible through a gift to the Medical Re- search Council by trustees of the late millionaire chemist, Sir Henry Wellcome. Retains Quality Indefinitely The machine resembles a giant refrigerator coupled to a group of tall cylinders. Through a new process discovered by British sci- entists, it will freeze and dry each week the blood gifts of 10,- 000 donors. Next week or even eight years from now the frozen dried plasma will give life to sick and wounded in any climate, be- cause it retains its quality indef- initely. Dried plasma i* saving lives in Egypt today, and British war- ships, fighting their way to Rus- sia, or Malta, carry the flake-like substance to save lives in the middle of intense actions or rag- ing gales. British blood also flows in the veins of many Chinese soldiers, wounded in the never-ceasing fight against Japan. To reach the Chinese the blood gifts from Britain are sent thousands of miles by air and sea and pass through all kinds of temperatures. Yet the plasma remains perfect. Spin-Freezing The new plasma plant will pro- duce 3,500 units, frozen dried and ready for use, weekly. The freez- ing and drying process is known as spin-freezing. A bottle con- taining liquid plasma is fitted on shaft which rotates at high speed. The contents, whirling in a bottle, forms a cone, giving the low temperature a greater ex- panse of liquid to freeze. Sud- denly the plasma freezes and the liquid is drawn out under a high vacuum process, leaving only the golden, dry plasma flakes. Then the bottle is sealed, ready for Pretty Doggy MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lea 'Sergt. Glen D.

A nun factory which six months ago stood in a bomb- scarred city in Knuland has been dismantled and shipped piece hy piece to the United States, Ed- ward H. Stettinius, Jr., Li* nil- Lease Administrator, disclosed re- cently. Mr. Stettinius, in an article in th new issue of the Saturday KvcniiiK Post, cited t.he transfer to show that lond-leuse is now "no longer H one-way street" di- rectly nidinjc only U. S. allies. "It was easier and faster to shij) the factory than to ship the Kims," he wrote. "We paid noth- ing for the arsenal. The Hritish consider themselves amply repaid by the damage these tfiins will in- flict on the Germans and Japan* ese in the hands of our soldiers." The British have also sent "sevenil thousand" barrage bal- loons to "protect vital spots along our coasts" and from Kngland and other allied nations the Gov- ernment has received "guns and tools, military and scientific in- formation anything which they can spare and we are in a better pot to use than they re," the article said. 1. Win- ii a hostess and three guests have sat down for a game of bridge, and a fifth friend drops in, what should the hostess do? 2. When introducing two men, is it proper to say, "Mr. Baker, this is my friend, Mr. Harris?" 3. In what position should a person hold his head while eating at the table? 4. When one has been invited to a party, or other affair, and after accepting he contracts a severe cold, what should he do? 5. Is it permissible for a guest to open a conversation with an- other guest when there has been no introduction? ''. What does it indicate when a man carries on a conversation with a cigarette dangling from his lips? Answers 1. The hostess should either in- vite the guest to take her place, or suggest some other game such as hearts or rummy, in which five persons can play. 2. No; this would imply that Mr. Baker is not a friend. 3. The head should be held in an erect position, without appearing stiff. The body can lean forward slightly, but the head should never be bent at right angle. 4. Phone the hostess and express how sorry you ara that you cannot attend. You ara being considerate not only of your own welfare, but also of the other people if you remain at home. 5. Yes, this is a very nice thing 1 to do. 6. Laziness, as well as ill- breeding. He probably consider! it useless exertion to lift his hand and remove the cigarette. Surplus Of Rice Problem Of Japs Japan Loies Large Market Of Rice-Importing Countries Rice, a great deal too much of it, offers the "makings' 1 of a new economic headache to Japan, as a result of the conquest of the world's principal rice-producing areas In Indo-Chlna, Burma and Thailand, Science Service points out. These countries together grow nine billion pounds of rice a year; the import requirements of all the lands now under Japan- ese domination are less than four billion. What to do with the rest of It? The biggest rice-consuming countries that formerly imported heavily from the great rice-produc- ing region were India and Ceylon (4,500,000,000 pc, nds), Europe (2,- 61)0,000,000), the real of the world altogether, something over 1,000,- 000,000 pounds a year. All this market is now loss as long as the Japs hold the region, explains F. J. Rositer In "Far Eastern Sur- vey," New York. The peoples of the great rice peninsula are going to bo as badly up against It aa the wheat farm- ers of this continent were during the worst of the depression, when they could not sell their crops for money to buy overalls and shoes. Rice can't be stored with any great success In that hot, humid roRlou. Probably the greater part of thn crop will rot in the* Inns. The western hemisphere long dependent upon the Orient for a large part of its rice- supply, has become 95 percent self-sufficient In rice production since the out- break of World War II.

GROWN IN SUNNY, SOUTHERN ONTARIO Spitfires Proven In Battle Action American Planes Not A Good For Job As Spitfires "American fighter pilots are Hy- ing Spitfires because American 'planes, which they were at flret expected to fly, just were not good enough for the job", said William H. Stoneman, correspondent of the Chicago Dally News, in a recent despatch from England. That may start an argument, but we do not know why It should. American blueprints, American construction, American perform- ance in airplanes may be the best in the world, but the sky over England has seen more 'planes in battle action than any other part of the world, and the actual teat Is warfare, not theory. The Spitfire has proved itself Inthe laboratory of war. Resources Should Be Pooled In the last war, we had no hesitancy in taxing over th French 75-mm. gun because it wa fax superior to our three tnofc gun, and we depended almost en- tirely on our allies for airplane*, although we did contribute th* Liberty motor late In the war. In our search for perfection w delayed producing machlne-guna, and had to borrow interior make* from our friends; by necessity, we took an inferior English rifla because it could be produced mora rapidly than our proved Spring- field. But we see no reason why the United Nations should not pool their resources to get the beat weapons in every category, regard- less of who produces them or where. And If the Spitfire is th best in sight, let us use it until a better has been found and proved better. More Uian 88,000 jigs, dies, fix- tures, and special tools are fa- quired for the construction of a Canadian-made Valentine tank.
