Protecting Wing* Over British Convoy A fighting plane of the British Royal Air Force c oastal command hovers over a convoy of mert-hant i^M which are bringing supplies to England. With Germany making desperate attempts to blockade England â- with motor torpedo boats and bombing planes, the coastal fliers have the responsibility for seeing that the Mnvoys get through. In the past week or so attacks on convoys such as this one have brought great air MAtlei. Some 600 German planes are said to have been engaged in one fight this week.

And he never used bait because he didn't believe anything would grab it, anyway. One day came the big surprise. He cast hla line, and there wa* a sudden Jerk. Something grabbed that line and then started off to- wards the other end ot the lake. The sceptical man fought that fish all the afternoon. Finally he landed the biggest trout ever taken In those waters. Puffing heavily, he gazed down at his prize that nearly swamped the boat. "It's a lie!" he snorted. And he polled It overboard.

How can I make a n^eedle book in which the needles will not rust? A. An ideal needle book is one that is made of chamois instead of flannel, as the needles will not rust in the chamois. Q. How can I mix whitewash? A. Fill a bucket half full of lime and cover it about two inches with water. Let stand 24 hours to slack, or until it is the con- sistency of paste.

Add one teaspoonful of bluing to \i bucket of whitewash to clear and make whi^e, and % pint of salt to make it stick. Q. How can I retain the orig- inal stiffness of wetonnes after washing them? A. If the cretonnes are rinsed in water in which rice has been boiled, they will retain their or- iginal stiffness. Q. How can I prepare a good toilet water? A.

Even '. .e British often are not quite sure ot their whereabouts. This is all because in recent we^-^ks work has gone ahead to obliterate every indieation of locality. NO STRANGERS KNOW THEIU WHEREABOUTS Generations ago sign posts were set up along the highways and the lanes, and these stood at their sta- tions until recently. The fingers of these posts bore such legends as "To London. 10 miles" or "to Bris- tol, 5 miles." or. to take more re- mote places. "To Moreton-In-the- Maa-sh. 2 miles." i>r "To Stow-in-the- Woold. 1 mile." All these have been ! re'move<l.

Mr. Justice Riddell's message reads: "A few days ago. the Hon- eurable J.

Sicknes* â€" Fiftli Column "Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon this fact. Annually thousands of dollars are wasted, and thousands of working days lost because of sickness which is entirely preventable. This waste must be stopped and this con- dition rectified. Both money and man-power are needed now for the defence of Canada and the Empire. "Neglect of health ia a "fifth- eolumn'' activity no less than more open and more spectacular forms of sabotage; and ignor- ance of simple health rules can- not be allowed to excuse such flagrant neglect of common pru- dence. "The Health League of Can- ada has carried on an active and determined campaign for public health during many years, and has succeeded in aijcomplishing great things in spite of the ap- athetic attitude of many of our citizens. â- ' Sir Harry Lauder's Rules For Thrift Scottish Comedian Gave Ten Pointers On How To Save Money The time and place of the we<i- dlng were kept secret, only the bride and a few close friends know- ing when and where it was to be â€" Canadian Paper.
