"I said good-bye to Constipation! 97 "I've given up pills and liarsh catliartica. I found ray consti- pation was due to laclt of "bulk" in my diet and I discovered that KELLOGG'S ALL- BRAN is a perfectly grand way to gee at the cause, and, help correct it!" If this is your trouble, stop "dos- ing" with harsh pur- gativeswith their lack of lasting relief ! Try eating a serving of ALL-BRAN daily, with milk, or sprinkled over other rereals. Or, eat several AIX-BRAN muf- fins daily ! Drink plenty of water. Get KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN at yOUT grocer's today in either of 2 conveni- ent sizes. Made by Kellogg's in Lon- don, Canada. Those Old Fur Coats Will Make Seamen's Vests 3,000 Fur Vests Are Urgently Needed For Protection Of Canadian Seamen The Ontario Division of th Seamen's Fur Vests War Projects is again appealing to the public for gifts of furs or old fur coats, says the Toronto Daily Star. These will be turned into warm vests to protect seamen from the biting cold of the North Atlan- tic. There is urgent need of many of these '.varm garments. With the public co-operation, this or- gcnization hopes it will this year supply at least 3,000 more fur vests to Canadian seamen. . ." The immediate and urgent need is contributions of old fur eoats. It does not matter in what condition they are, the skill of the fur workers can turn them into warm fur vests for the sea- men. . . Letter of Thank* A letter, which arrived a fort- night ago, signed by Lieut. Gor- don D. Campbell, commanding of- ficer, H.M.C.S. Truro, stated: "Not so long ago 25 fur-lined jackets came aboard this ship. Their arrival was watched with interest by members of the crew, most of whom nad been out on the North Atlantic before, and knew just how cold it can get there, and what protection your jackets afford. In due course they were distributed, and once again tho eager eyes wer evident. "If you could corns aboard aome night when w ar at sea and watch how your jackets ar passed about by members of the crew coming off and going on watch, this letter of thanks would not be necessary. Each member o? the crew stands eight houn on watch duty per day, but your Jackets ar on 24 hours duty." It is hoped that as many Cana- dians as find it possible will quickly make their contributions of old or new furs, and in this way participate in an important war service. Ring-Around-The-Rosy II. A.

OTTAWA REPORTS That New Order Covering Small Arm* Ammunition Contain* Good New* For Farmer* The Wartime Price* and Trade Board announced thli week that OEM typei of small arms ammun- ition will l>e free of rationing and will be available in some stores where there may be stocks on hand.

The regulations governing dis- tribution of ammunition still ra- tioned havs, however, been some- what changed. The new order plugs any leaks that may have developed in distribution pro- cedure. * * Under the old order those es- sential users who were eligible for supplies were divided into two groups, (1) a prospector; a person who relies on hunting of wild game and birds for food ; and a person who requires ammunition as a means of protecting live- stock and other animals, poultry and other birds, and crops from predatory 'animals, rodents and birds, (2) a person duly author- ized to purchase small arms am- munition for the Royal Canadian Police or any provincial, mun- icipal or railway police force, or any penal institution; a person duly authorized to purchase small arms aiumunit : on for an industrial plant, bank, railway, public utility company or other com- mercial establishment for the pur- pose of supplying ammunition to guards engaged in the protection of property, a trapper licensed as such by a department of the government of Canada or of a provincial government; a rifle, revolver club, provided it has ob- tained the written permission of the Director of Sma'1 Arms Am- munition. * * The first group was required to make application to their nearest rationing office before purchase coud be made. The second after filling out the required essentiality certificate was permitted to pur- chase direct from the stores. In future, no distinction will be shown and all must make their application through the board on a new form issued for the purpose. It is expected that during 1944 there will be a three-fold increase in production of small arms am- munition and there in a ray of hope that sportsmen may get a limited supply.

In a dispatch from London the Daily Mail said tht planes prob- ably had a top speed of between 500 and 600 miles an hour. Several hundred successful flights have been carried out by American pilots in the United States and by British pilots with similar British aircraft in Eng- land, all without a single mishap, the statement said. Research work on the jet-pro- pulsion engines was begun in 1938 in Great Britain by Group Capt. Frank Whittle of the R.A.F. and his preliminary engine ran successfully in April, 1937. Better Use of Gun Eepected The statement disclosed that the British Air Ministry placed its first order for a plane using jet-propulsion engines with the Gloucester Aircraft Company, Led. in 1939. "The first successful flight of this aircraft was in May, 1941," said the statement. In addition to tremendous speed at high altitude, where the standard-type plane's propeller irust whirl faster to maintain speed in the thin air, the jet-pro- pulsion engines are expected to eliminate the need for synchron- ization of guns and propellers. This will permit better use of the guns. The Jet Principle The new United Nations jet- |*->pelled fighter was not reached at a single bound, writes W.K. in the New York Times. Exhaust gases have been used by* the Briti>h. Gjjrmai..-, Italians and American to kick a heavily loaded airplane forward and thus help tiie engine get it off the ground. Even before this, it has been found by the Frenchman, Rene Lorin, that when air is admitted into a radiator duct at high speed, slowed down (with a con- sequent incr ase in pressure), heated. and then expanded through a nn'.v.!., it can exert a jwerful for.vard thrust. The principle is mure easily applied to liquid-cooled than to air-cool- ed engines. All this amounts to letting the radiator help the en- gine push the plane. In I liin Air Jet propulsion is necessary if we are to exceed the possibilities of propellers. A propeller literal- ly screws its way through the air. The blades cause a partial vacuum. The greater the den- sity of the air, the greater is the efficiency of the propeller. As we rise, the W becomes thinner. Finally a point is reached at which no propeller will "bite." The ceiling has been reached. With the jet propulsion exactly the opposite holdc good. The less air there is the more effici- ent is the motor. If the ejected gii.s has an expansion efficiency of -4,000 feet a second at rest, the same force exerted in motion would increase the speed up to a point where the maximum effici- ency is reached at something like 10,000 miles an hour* Jet propul- sion gets better and better as speed and height increase. As a mater of fact, with a fuel composed of liquid oxygen and gasoline, jet velocities of 12,000 feet u second have been obtain- ed. The problem is how to handle the heat and how to control the plane in flight. Dubbed "The Squirt" Whether or not jet-driven planes will play a major role in this war remains to b seen. Some observers claim they have watch- ed this plane, streaking about the skios over llritain flash ahead of the famous Spitfire fighter.

The mystery plane's arrival was heraldedb > a distant screech which grew in volume until it sounded like a giant whistling kettle. Then the rumble of its powerful engines was heard as the plane shot overhead. The people soon came to know it, however, as the flights be- came more frequei.t, and they finally dubbed it "The Squirt." Underground Ready For Allied Invasion Only the initiated know how well the French underground has prepared for Allied Invasion, says Newsweek. It would be dangerous to reveal details, but it can be said that an over-all, master plan of action has been drawn up. Apparently, the underground ex- pects the Allies to come from the south, since men liare been desig- nated to take over every Important government post in the Mediter- ranean area. Preparations are not so well advaced elsewhere. Armed groups are ready to handle all Vichy resistance though not, of course, strong concentrations of German troops. The underground has promised to await a landing before striking and to obey Allied radio orders. However, it Is warn- ed that should the orders be held up for any reason after military operations begin in France, the people will strike anyway. Raindrops are larger in jum- met- than in winter.
