DUNKIRK TO DESERT LIEUT.-GEN. B. L. MONTGOMERY Hero of the allied rout of Rommel in the North African desert U lean, tough Lieut-Gen. Bernard Law Montgomery, commander of the Imperial Kighth Army. A bishop's son, he neither smokes nor drinks; makes the physical fitness of his men his wartime gospel. Spurs won in World War I, when he was wounded twice, won two medals and was mentioned six times in dispatches, are digging deeper into Nazi flanks today. He personally supervised getting his men off the beach at Dunkirk, smashed Rommel's attempt to break through the desert lines in September, and now is chasing the Nazi strong man back where he came from. HOW CAN I? Q. How can I prevent stains when ironing over a spot on which peroxide has been applied to re- move scorch? A. Do not iron directly on the spot moistened with peroxide, as this leaves rust stains on the gar- ment. Place a clean dry cloth over the spot and iron with a medium warm iron, replacing the top cloth when the peroxld* soaks through. Q. How can I save time when sifting flour? A. When necessary to sift flour three or four times, do it on a sheet of clean paper. It is much easier to pour the flour back into the sifter from a piece of paper than from a bowl or other vessel. Q. How can I make a good dressing for salads? A. Roquefort cheese dressing is delicious when used on salads. To make it add one tablespoonful of crumbled Roquefort to regular French dressing. Q. How ran I remove the re- maining laci,tier when it begins to peel on metal*, such as brass and copper? A. Use a little denatured alco- hol. The metal should, of course, be cleaned of all old lacquer and well polished, cleti.ed, and dried, before refinishlng with new lac- quer. Q. How can I avoid having a hump in the centre of a table- cloth? A. This can be avoided if, after laundering:, the cloth is folded three times lengthwise before making the cross fold.

Cooking was {tie young wife's hobby, and what she lacked in skill she made up in zeal. One day, when a neighbor 1 ! small boy ran an errand for her, she rewarded him with a generous helping of jam tart which she had made with her own fair hands. A few minutes later the young- ster was back again. "Thank you very much for the jam," he said, with shy politeness. "Here's your bit of board back!"

Radio comedian Ked Skelton has no illusions as to his vacation plans for next year. He says: "I'm planning on taking my vaca- tion next year in Tokyo. I'd thought I'd stay at the MacArthur Hotel on Doolittle Avenue right across from Roosevelt Park. Sounds like I'd enjoy it there." "I beg your pardon, ma'am," laid the newly ar- rived Irish maid to the offi- cer's wife, "but i> it Colonel or Major I ihould be calling the Captain?" Suitor: "I have come to ask for thp hand of your davjrfctor." Father: "Which one, Jane or Helen?" Suitor: "Jane, ir." Father: "Do you make enough to support two?" Suitor: "No- sir. One will be enough." "I took the recipe for this cake out of the cook-book." "You did perfectly right, dear. It n*ver should have been put In." WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL Because of an entirely differ- ent set of economic conditions, European pulp mills are making one hundred gallons of industrial alcohol a year from the waste liquors of their six million tons of sulphite pulp production. I rite this as but one example of the path that lies ahead in developing the chemical values in our trees. The aftcr-the-war chemical pos- sibilities for wood are by no means limited to alcohol. W catch some glimpse of the futuri by looking into the Germans' economy under wartime duress, where their military trucks are propelled by wood gas, where the citizens eat beef fed on cattle fodder made from wood cellulose. Our nation's chemical industry will look more and more to "the trees as a source of it raw ma- terials, because timber is a crop and trees are renewable.

Story Of Fall Of Hong Kong Defenders Lacked Air And Naval Support W. G. Poy, one of the defend- ers of Hong Kong when it wai attacked by Japan last December, told a service club in Ottawa the colony was without air and naval support for its land forces when the assault was launched. "At the time Hong Kong- was placed under attack, it ha:l but five training planes and no naval support," he said. Japanese aircraft raided Hong Kong December 8, dropping bombs and pamphlets asking the Chinese people to help Japan free the colony from British imperial- ism. Japanese troops appeared the next day, and December 11 and 12 the defending forces re- treated to the island under inces- sant shelling and bombing. "At this time," said Mr. Poy, "we were on Victoria Peak, with Canadian troops placed in two sections below us, guarding roads on the eastern part of the island. "The Japanese started shelling: the island December 17. The night previous they sent several of their best swimmers out to the island to choose a spot for a land- ing. Two pilot boats laid down a smoke screen for them, and they were only a few hundred yards away when they were spotted. "When the smoke cleared they were engaging our troops We could see loads and loads of troops cominp over. The boats were bringing over not only men but also horses and fodder. "... The Canadians, who were exceptional, and put up a fight over which every Canadian should be proud, tried to mop the Japs up, but they were overcome by overwhelming odds. We had to surrender in the face of terrific odds. The Japs had 300,000 men in the Canton area, though they certainly did not use that many." Use Glass Blocks For Interior Walls Launch Delivers Canteen Supplies In any British Army camp of any size is to be found N.A.A. F.I. (pronounced N'affy, and standing for Navy, Army and Atr Force Institute), which acts as a canteen and sells such things as chocolates, biscuits and cigarettes. The N.A.F.F.I. goes abroad on active service and has many time* become involved in the fighting in Libya. At home the organiza- tion is responsible for packing the food that goes into airmen's res- cue dinghies, or is taken on raids with the air crews. One of the most dangerous of N.A.A. F.I. jobs is the naval can- teen service which runs a small fleet of canteen launches the Marino equivalent of a delivery lorry. Their job is to deliver can- teen stocks to ships at sra and to collect empties. Hoccntly one old coxswain was detailed to take * launch fresh from the stocks and deliver her to her Scottish base by way of the) Channel and the East Coast. Be- fore he left, he was warned of the difficulties of the voyage, and told, "She won't drown you, but she might starve you." Indeed, the weather was so bad that at on* point the crew were without cook- ed food for three days. But the launch made the 700 mile journey, including a trip over a mine-field, successfully, and has been delivering "extras" to the Navy ever since.

Blocke Are Portable and Will Solve Many Problem* The new kind of portable in- terior wall made of glass blocks which has been devised by one of the large glass companies offers so many solutions for knotty prob- lems of the home that every fa- mily will want to have a set lying about ready for use, states The New York Times. The householder will be free, according to our news story, to move the wall about "to fit visi- tors and whims." This is an ex- citing discovery, because it makes it possible to shut the slightly tedious Aunt Carrie off by her- self when she comes for an in- determinate stay in a crowded home. This gets her out of some- body's bedroom or off the couch in the parlor, and may even be better for Aunt Carrie herself, whether she appreciates it or not. To suggest it may be inviting a storm from child psychologists, but a little private room will now be available where Johnnie can be sent when he needs to consider in solitude for a few moments hi# lapses in behavior. Or where mother can seclude herself in soli- tude if she prefers. Utility is stressed for the port- able wall, but another idea inevi- tably occurs to the mind. Winston Churchill is said to have a hobby of building brick or stone walls. Here is material for an indoor pastime with vhich to pass the hours when books and other amusements pall and man want* to make something with his hands. It is as "simple as a child build- A FAMOUS BRAND Aden's FINE CUT Operated by Hat Burton, twice winne 1 of the North American and Canadian Calt Roping Championships at the Calgary Stampede the Burton Ranch in Southern Alberta was estab- lished in 1890 by r.
