When U-Boat Threatened U.S. Liner This photo was brought home by the United States liner Washington when «hc docked at New York with 1,600 American refugees from Eu- rope's w«r zones. It shows passengers in the lifeboats of the big liner 4nring tiie encounter with a submarine off the coast of Portugal. The CMsmander of tiic U-Boat (later revealed as German) repeatedly «n]di«sized hie determination to torpedo the "American ship" . . . "This k an Ajnccican ship" finally was understood and believed. The liner itas then allowed to proceed. TOP photo here shows the tense-faced yassengets in the lifeboat awaiting' uie result of the frantic exchange <ll aijtnjils. BELOW, relieved and smiling faces as the danger of tor- pedoing blew over. Two travellers stood in the tennge. One was doing most of the talking. "Tee," said the talkative one, "I 4aBM home one morning after mid- Sight and, as I opened the door, I MW a stranger kiseing my wile. I elosed the door softly and hurried 4ownstairs. At 1 a.m. I came back and opened the door softly â€" and ttkcre was the stranger, still kissing any wife. So I went downstairs once again. At 1:1Bâ€" " "jQflt a minutes," interrupted the «ther man. "Why did you keep gal- l0|)lng downstairs? Why didn't you â- walk right into the room?" The talkative one frowned. "What?" he cried. "And have my irlfe catch me coming home at that »onr?" Student: "I'm handlina this plane pretty weH." Instructor: "Yeah, Just keep W up-" T^e customer was dissatisfied irlth the quality of the milk, "It can't be helped." said the Milkman. "It's due to the shortage «f grass. Why. the cows are so up- Mt about It that I've Bc«n them cry- teg hecanse they can't do them- Mlves credit." "Well perhaps so," said the cus- tomer, wearily, "but you might try to pr«Teot them dropping their tears Into our bottle." An emigrant was preparing to leave hie native land and try hie luck abroad. An acquaint- ance Inquired casually: "What â- re you geing to do when you arrive In America?" "Take up land." "How much?" "Only a shovelful at a time." British Coal's Not Available Says Surplus Will Be Needed Over There J. McG. Stewart of Ottawa, Canadian coal administration, told the Canadian Retail Coal AssoC"' iation annual convention that no domestic shortage of coal should be anticipated. The mines of Eastern and Western Canada and those of the United States were capable of vastly increasing their output. It was likely all of Bri- tain's extra production would be needed by France since Germany's invasion of Holland, Belgium and Northern France and that Can- ada "must look less to Britain i.o<: our anthracite and more to our Canadian mines and to the United States." What Science Is Doing SUGAR LACK AFFECTS BRAIN Lack of sugar and other carbohy- drates In the brain may result In certain abnormal nervous and men- tal reactions, according to a report of two Kansas City doctors. â-  "VITA,MtN HELPS EYES New evidence that a vitamin (ri- boflavin, part ot the vitamin B com- plex) cures certain kinds of eye- strain, burning and itching eyelids and painful sensitiveness to strong light is reported. Doctors who made teats said It "caused prompt and sometimes a dramatic relief" of sucli ocular symptoms in persons lacking en- ough of tlie vitamin in their diet. Two piano movers knocked on tke door. A meek-Iooklng fellow â- with an Inferiority complex opened «• "Did you order a piano from the natnote Music Shop?" asked the Arst piano mover. The tenant shook his head. "Not a piano," he corrected. "I or- dered a fiDte." The piano mover etudied a slip of t^er. "According to this," he grumbled, "fou ordered a piano." The man with the inferiority •auplex studied tbe two husky yleao movers. "Very well," he said, nervously. "Move it in. But if your firm makes •ny more errors like that, I'll iuve ie deal somewhere else!" A newspaper reporter had tak. en the announcement of a wed- eiing over the telephone. A few days after It was printed, he re- aeived an excited. Indignant call from the bridegroom. "Just Wriiat do you mean." the bride- groom growled, "saying the eouple will live at the old man's? I distinctly said we would live at the old manset" Building permits tftSued in 202 SViyipflTitles In Canada during [e month of April had a value SPEED CONCEPTION CUT First complete measurement ot the speed ot rotation of a spiral ne- bula of stars, the same sort of sys- tem which forms the milky way with the earth as one of its little spokes, was announced to Ameri- can Association for the Advance- ment ot Science. The measurements change one of man's conceptions of the speed of the earth through s.pece, cutting It down from per- haps 100 miles a second to only 20. NEW PROCESS KEEPS LARD John Holmes, preeident of Swift and Company, announced la.st week the discovery of what he described as a "revolutionary development" In the processing of lard. The development, the meat pack- er president said, involves the ad- dition ot small quautities of a veg- etable substance obtained from tro- pical trees, making it possible to protect lard's natural advantages and at the same time keeping it fresh when exposed to air without refrigeration. fmo'i'lwu 9flllfCt rot qiiek relW tnm ittling of iaiMt Mtet, hMt i. ttklato's fool, eeHim kmi oUnr ulmtlly * ikiD troubiM, qm wwld-fuMu*, oooUdi, inu- li^uid D. D. IX PmeriplioR. OnuelfM, Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE Q. Are "howdy" and "how-do" correi't greetings. A. No. they are vulgarisms. The correct forms are "How do you do? Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening." Q. If a husband and wife have a woman friend at dinner, only the three persons, should the husband seat the guest? A. Yes. He should seat the guest first and then his wife. Q. Should a man constantly refer to his wife as she"? A. No; this Is disrespectful. Q. When meeting a friend you have not seen for a long time, la it all right to say, "Have you been 111? You are looking so thin"? A. Never. If you cannot truthfully say that the friend is looking well. It Is better to make no remark at all as to your impression. Q. When attending an informal dinner and a guest sees that an- other guest Is taking no part in the conversation, what siiould one do? A. It is the duty of the hostess (not a guest) to see that each one of the guests takes part in the con- versation. Q. May a debutante wear a string tt pearls at her coming-out party? A. Yes, but no other Jewels. HEALTH TOPICS FRESH VEGETABLES Did you know that the tempt- ing looking "heart" of a young, green cabbage is of lower food â- value than the outside leaves? That is one of the items of in- formation handed on by the Health League of Canada, in con- nection with the League's cam- paign to raise the standards of health and efficiency in Canada. Moreover, says the Health League of Canada, since some of the value of cabbage, â€" vitamins and minerals â€" are lost in boiling, cabbage salad is more nutritious than cooked cabbage. It is pointed out, too, that price has little to do with the food value of vegetables. Brussels sprouts may cost three times as much as the humbler cabbage, but they are not one bit more nu- tritious. Canned vegetables, though they are put up in three grades: fancy, choice, and stand- ard, are of equal value whatever the grade. Inexpensive Items And here is a hint as to the cheapest way of obtaining to- mato juice, without which lunch or dinner is not t'omplete for a great many people: buy the low- est priced grade of canned to- matoes, says the Health League of Canada, and strain off the juice. The residue may be com- bined with other foods or used in soups. One otlier suggestion: don't use soda to preserve the color in cook- ing green vegetables. Not only is it unnecessary if the lid is left off the pot, but it destroys the valuable vitamin C, says the Health League. â- tainlfm BootbeairnUtion iind qnieltJy itopi I* IMiaiL M« >ri«l hettk iottm it, or â- cap hit t.

Many centuries ago the lake, little more than 300 square yards in area and six feet deep, was a mass of sticky asphalt which glis- tened In the sun. PRIMITIVE WILD HORSES In the early quaternary period, hundreds of sabre-tooth tigers, pri- mitive wild horses, deer, bears, and wolves, also other animals mistook the glistening surface for water, plunged in to qtiench their thirst and were caught forever In the sticky morass. The fossil weelth ot the Baku "asphalt lake" which is compared hy paleontologists to the famous â- 'tar lake" In southern California, was (iiscovere<l by a group ot young Soviet geology jludents on an ex- cursion.

Y., claims to have a novel method of preserving domestic tranquility. "When a spat is arising be- tween husband and wife or other member.s of a family, let eat-b take a drink of water and then walk away for 10 minutes," Smith says. "Both persons mutt perform the act, it won't work with just one." Smith should know. He and his 82-year-old wife are entering on the 64th year of their marriage. • •â- â€¢â€¢â-  ^- â-  i How Con I? BY ANNE ASHLEY I Q. H«w can I qulckfy make a pa- per paste substitute? A. Rub the slice of a raw potato over the paper to be pasted. Q. How can I most easily extract the white from an egg? A.

Rub them witii a cut lemon and a little salt; then wash wltb warm, soapy water. Rose Spectacles Soothe Pheasants The world is very beautiful for Dr. J. M. Lyle's ring-necked phtsasants. Fort Worth, Texas. They look through rose-colored gl,t8ses. Dr. Lyle made the glasses for his pheasants in a move to cat down homicides among the fowl. Colored glasses prevent the birds from "seeing red" or any- thing blood-colored. A spot of red, the dot'tor explained, has al- ways been the signal for a knock- down, dragout fight in the animal kingdom. ...CLASSIFIED ADVEBTISEMENTS..
