'COVER CHARGE, I JAP This Yank soldier, in a camouflaged-canopied foxhole on Bougain- ville Island, invites visitors to his "'Sniper Inn," irrposing a- small cover charge of "one Jap." WMT SCIEMCE IS Corncobs The lowly corncob, viewed by many as useful only as a handy form of kindling to soak with kcro- lene and use for starting a fire in the kitchen range, is something of a Cinderella in its possible indus- trial applications, vs-rites W. P. Keasbey in the Christian Science Monitor. For example, corncobs .niay be ground and used in making .sweep- fag compounds, for burnishing metals, in cleaning fur=, and for lenioving oil from tin and other types of metal plates. Cut in chunks ranging from a quarter to an eighth of an inch in- size, corncobs can serve as heat in- sulation over ceilings and in walls of houses. They have low conduc- tivity but have the disadvantage of not being fireproof. * « • Ground cobs also may be used aa a substitute for cork in various composition materials, such a s «oles for shoes. Ground to flour, cobs may even be used in place of cork in making linoleum. Cobs could more generally be substitut- ed for ground cork were it not for the fact that the cob particles are much harder and less resilient tlian cork. Dynamite consists of a mi.xture of liquid nitroglycerine with son:e absorbent material. The material used at first was kiesegulhr, a kind of earth formed by innumer- able fossil plants. Later, wood pulp and sawdust were used as ab- sorbent materials. By special care fa processing, ground cobs can be used in making dynamite. « ♦ • Cobs may be used in the crea- tion of special light-weight tile and other ceramic products. The lightness of these products comes . from their porosity. And the pores or air spaces result from mixing particles of cobs with clay from which the ceramic product is form- ed, the cob particles vanishing when the clay is burned in the kiln. Ground cobs may also be used as filler for plastics. Their only shortcoming in this field is appar- ently the fact that phenol plastics made with cob flour are not as waterproof and do not have as high a luster as those made with other types of filler. These qualities, however, are not of prime impor- tance in all types of plastics. The Canary Islands were known fa ancient times as the Fortunate Isles. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1. Would it be correct to phone the desk and ask that the bill be ready, in order to save time when checking out of a hotel? 2. .Should the bread and butter plates be placed o;. the table before the guests are seated at luncheon? 3. .Should the \von)cn's name always be mentioned first when introducing a man to a woman. 4. Is it all right to liclp clean off tlie fable and help with the uislics, when dining with a friend and she has no- maid? 5. -Xt^vhat time should one arrive for a luncheon if the time is speci- fied a-i one o'clock? 0. Should the girl or her escort fill their glasses when there is a- punch bowl at a party? Answers 1. Yes; do this about a quarter of an hour before leaving your room and it will save time. 2. Yes. 3. Ves, such as, "Miss Mar- tin, this is Mr. Jones.' 4. This is all right if yon happen to be a very intimate friend, but otherwise it would not be well to do so unless the hostess asks you. 5. Arrive about ten minutes before the speci- fied time. 6. The man should fill a glass for the girl, then one for himself. Have You Heard*! Paying iiis first visit to tlie house of a business friend, the bachelor was bored to death with the baby- worhip he was supposed to in- dulge in. "Just fancy,'' said the young mother, "he's only seventeen months old, and he's been walking for nine months!" "Really?" said the visitor wearily, "Don't you think it's time he sat down?" The old man wrote to the college professor â€" "Haven't heard from my son for some time. Hope he's not sick. 15 he has been 1 hope to hea. he's improving". The professor replied â€" "Son not sick, and not improving."' â€" o â€" An .Xnierican and a Englishman were in conversation. The American told an amusiii-; story without evoking laughter from the English- man. Somewhat irritated, the Ameri- can said, "I suppose you'll get it next summer." "On tlie contrary," replied the Englishman, "I got it last sum- mer.'' COOKING UP ALIBIS?

Queen Elizabeth Pleased With Work Of Indian Nurse Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has expressed her interest and ap- preciation of the article "We Fol- low The Trail" contributed to the November issue of the The Can- adian Chunlmian by Ninaki (Miss Xora Gladstone). in a letter to Mrs. Irving E. Robertson, President of the Canadian Mother- craft Socieiy. The Queen, who is patron of the Canadian Mothercral't Society, was particularly pleased that the writer of the. article is an Indian girl who has been trained and graduated as a well-baby nurse by the Can- adian .Mothercral't service. Miss Gladstone one of the six Can- adian Indian girls who have train- ed as nurses with the Canadian Mothercraft Society, is now taking jier genera! training in the N'ictoria Jubilee Hospital, B. C. The letter from Her Majesty's secretary reads in part: "The Queen was particularly interested in the article by Xinaki; she mu.-t be a very remarkable young woman. Tt is a great tribute to your work tliat you have been able tc. interest the Indian v'irls and train them in Mothercraft ser- ~. :cc." .vr.KXTs WA.\Ti;n WANTED IX YOL'R DISTRICT some one to take orUors for day old chiclts in spare lime for a largre Canadian Government Ap- proved Chick Hatchery.

But the story of the Sten gun began in Britain's small factories, tiny workshops in the side street,?, of the garages, even of the slieds boasting a lathe and a drilling machine. For tiie making of Sten guns in tens of thousands* at a time of great peril, Britain owed much to the little man â€" and his wife and daughters. It's de- sign and development are strokes of British genius in acute emer- gency, and its name derives from the first letter of the names of the two men mo.st closely associated with the design â€" S" for Major Shepherd and "T" for Mr. Turpin, while "EX" stands for England.
