"Don't worry, Jimmy." said Mrs. Jones next door, "they're ours." Some time !ater little Jim was In his garden, and the three aero- planes came back, flyiag rather low. His father, who was digging looked up questionably at the ma- chines. "It's all right, daddy," said the boy. "don't worry. They're Mrs. Jones'."

"Is deee aigs fresh?" she asked. The salesman replied, 'Tse not sayin' dat de-y ain't." To which she encountered, "I ain't ajiki-Q' ye ain't de-y ain't, I'se akin' IB dey Is?" "You have a nice collection of books, but you should have more shelves." "I know, but nobody seems to lend me shelves." o Tba bewildered guest was star- Ing at Junior who was driving sev- eral nails into au expensive ti*ble. He turned to his host. "It'a none of my business," he said pointing to the boy with the ti*nmi,T. "but don't you find it rather expensive to let your chil- dren play that way?" The host smiled proudly. "Not at all." he replied, 'I gat the nafls wholesale!" o "Mary, my husband came home very late last night. Can you tell me what time it was?" "Well, ma'am, I don't know exactly, but when I got Up this morning the master's hat was swinging backwards and for- wards on the hatstand." Port Churchill Use Uncertain House of Commons Hear That Shipping Companies Don't Appear to Favor Using It For Handling of Cargoes Whether or not tho port of Churchill will be used fur cargo handling next shipping season de- uends upon the shipping compan- ies, Hon.

Dimmock, Division of Forag Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. According to experimental trials conducted by the Dominion Experimental Farms, the better corn hybrids have yielded from 15 to 25 per cent more shelled corn than the standard varieties. Similar results have been reported by mauy growers. Such increases mak* possible tha production of the same amount of corn on lesa acreage than was formerly planted ta open-pollinated varieties or more corn- on tha same acreage-. While no definite claims are made that hybrids are resistant to tb European Corn Borer, observa- tions have shown that there s g<M- era'.Iy much less stalk breakage in hybrids from borer attacks tUan In the varieties. ThU suggests the advantage of luiug hybrid corn in areas where borer attacks are liable to occur. The same M true with re- spect to disease, sucu as ear rot*. ThU was apparent lo the 1940 crop of corn when ear rot damag* was so prevalent. The hybrids gen- erally suffered lew demasje tliau the varieties. Surface Of Mars Said Like Earth's Slow Burninq CIGARETTE PAPERS NONE F/Hf MAOe But Much Nontensa Written About Planet, Subject of Scientific Interact Phys- ical Conditions Resemble Our Globe'* The planet Mars, of ail th* heavenly bodies w can observe, has a surface whose physical con- ditions most nearly duplicate those on the earth. Because of this fact, and because It is our next door neiffhbor in the so!r system and is thus favorably placed 'for observation. Mars haa always been a subject of great scientific and popular interest. Unfortunately, so much nonsense has been written about the planet in various branches of literary endeavor, that it is easy to forget that Mars is still an object of serious scientific investigation, though in a less spectacular and sensational role than many people believo WHITK POLAR CAPS Percival Lowell, founder of the jjroat Lowell Observatory in Ari- zona, made an extensive study of the Martian surface features, | writes Dr. Peter M. Millnian in "Sky." The planet is of a cen- cral orange-red color and, apart ! from this shade which is possibly duo to oxidation of the surface rocks, the two chief features of the surface are the white polar caps, believed to consist of snow or frost, and some lanre areas of a dark green'sh hue. Public Service Payrolls Rise Parliament Learns 20,600 Civil Service Employees Have Been Added During War A return tabled in the Com- mons for John Diefenbaker, Con- servative, Lake Centre, said about 20,660 employees have been added to Canada's public service since the war began. Figures listed in the return show that all but approximately 94 of the total arc temporary em- ployees and that more than 19,- 000 wore appointed through the Civil Service Commission.

VITAMINS AND SHELL-SHOCK Use of vitamins to prevent shell shock among soldiers under fire may result from experiments on albino rats conducted by two University of Pittsburg scientists. They found that: Rats fed on a diet rich in vita- min B-l "barely blink an ey" when a loud buzzer is sounded. Rats fed on foods slightly de- ficient in vitamins can be "knock- ed cold" by the same noise. o FOOD FOR LONGER LIFE Middle age is not too late to start in order to increase your life span. Some new diet facts, just published by Cornell University nutritionists show that even after 40 it may be possible to alter a destiny which seemingly has been fixed by early life habits. There is one outstanding "vari- able," a food factor which can be changed with certainty of giv- ing important results. This variable is fatness. Hold- ing down fatness definitely leng- thens the lives of the middle-aged an'mals. Letting them get fat by eating as much as they want shortens their lives. o HEAT PRESERVES MILK It has been the general practice to chill milk immediately after it has been taken from the cow and to- keep it refrigerated up to and after the process of pasteuriza- tion to prevent it from becoming rancid. Investigations at the Uni- versity of California by Drs. N. P. Tarassuk and G. A. Richardson have demonstrated that the best way to prevent rancidity is to keep the milk warm, between 30 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, for one to three hours. o DEBUNKING SPINACH Some doubts of the value ot spinach in the diet are raised by recent experiments with rats and tadpole*. Dr. Robert W. Briggs, of McGill University, fed large numbers of tadpoles th same diet except that in one the vegetable lenient was supplied by spinach and in the other by lettuce. The growth rate generally was nor- mal, but autopsies on 252 or those receiving spinach revealed that 127 had numerous large kidney stones. Autopsies on seventy- four receiving lettuce showed only two such cases, and these stones were very small. o CHEMICALS VS. DISEASE Two new synthetic chemicals, formerly found only in shark oils, have been created and added to th'e treatment of one of man's most serious diseases. The chemicals known techni- cally as batyl and chimyl alcohols arc terrific stimulators in the production of white btocd cells, those which eat disease germs, in the marrow of bores. Without these cells disease irerms run wild in the boclv. { How Con I? BY ANNE ASHLEY I ..__ Q. How can I correct soup that te too salty? A.
