Whole- sale trade was fairly well main- tained. with exceptionally heavy demand for hardware sppai-'ently in anticipation of shortages; gro- Cary volume was down. Pulp and paper and rayon mills continue at maximum capacity. Textile manu- facturers are well booked with de- fence orders. The shortage of steel is causing concern in many in- dustries. Steel mills are operat- ing at over 1009:. of rated capac- ity, with the greatest backlog of orders in history.

We became quite used to our cup of tea first thing in the morning. tea again about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and sup- pei-about 9 o'clock every evening.

for some time and the simplest way out seemed to be to Dreseut some money and say "here take what you want."

Strange But True

Is there such a thing as a bat bomb? Yes, the bat bomb was in- vented by an American during the Second World War. This one ounce incendiary was fitted with delayed action fuses and was strapped to live lists which were packed in containers holding from one to five thousand. The bats were taken from a cave in Texas. The container attached to a para- chute was tossed from a plane. and timed to open at one thou- sand feet, thus releasing the hats which scattered widely and ut- tied in the target area. In one test an entire village was burnt down.

There are 0400 forms of re- dents found in the world, and they possess many curious traits and oddities. Take the teeth of some species, for instance. They are root- less and grow as fast as they wear away. secondly, they are deeply set in the bone structure of the skull. The kangaroo rat of south- ern U. S. A. gets its name from the so called Kangaroo Jump Act, which resembles a reel kangaroo in motion.

Another curious thing about rats is that they will establish colonies wherever there is e. hum- an settlement. Black rats intro- duced into Europe carried the Black Death, which in places wiped out nine out of every ten of the human population. Then there is the "desert rat" which lives without water and feeds exclusive- ly on seeds gleaned from desert grasses. The largest of all the rodents is the copybsra. A full grown one weighs well over pounds. A native of South Amer- ica, it is equally at home in water or on land.

s

The North American Indians were famed for their knowledge of medicinal plants and herbs. There was no hokum in their rem- edies and many a white settler owed his life to the medical skill of Indian friends. The Indian lived close to nature and knew a great deal about her healing balm.

On the other hand, many peo- pics resort to silly and strange treatments which are nothing but hoiium. Among such treatments are the scrapings from the horns of animals. dragonls teeth, dried frogs. etc.

The Chinese have a notion that many diseases can be cured by pricking the skin with sharp need- les. The native tribes of Australia actually cut off their own fingers in the belief that this would cure sickness!

It is a fact that the mean and pre-Incan Indians were clever surgeons. They performed many remarkable operations with medi- cal tools of stone and bronze. These operations resulted in the success- ful removal of diseased or badly injured eyes. amputations and tre-

panning operations and many others. some strange methods of treat-

ing the sick were. and still are, used with c '-' able success in our own country. Fbr instance, putting common mud on insect stings. or blowing a pipe smoke

A COMMON PITFALL

You are confronting one of the greatest dangers that menaccs every young married couple, and that is getting into the wrong crowd. I have watched many of these groups of young married people who consider themselves very broad-minded because they indulged In drinking bouts and regaled each other with obscene stories and swap- ped partners. No cut-and-dried ideas of morality. No jealousy. Oh. dear me, no. They were far too liberal for that.

But in the end it wasn't funny. after all. For there seem to be certain fundamental rules of nature and conduct that we can't joke with. Being broad-minded doesn't give you a stomach that can stand being outraged by liquor. A headache and shattered nerves follow a debaucli and petting parties between an ussorted group of hus- bands and wives, whose caresses belong by right to their mates. doesn't promote family peace and harmony. It. leads to ilghts and squabbles and divorce.

And so. my dear Mrs. M., if you have got into that sort of crowd. get out while the geetting is good and you still have your husband. There are plenty of nice crowds of nice young people. Find one of them.

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: I am a girl 26 years old. going with 1- man ten years older. He loves me, I know, and I love him very much but since he discovered I went out with an ex-boy friend Just once he said he can't trust me. He said he is afraid I would be unfaith- ful if he did marry me, but prior to hearing of my date, he never had mentioned marriage. Since he is 36 I have a feeling he doesn't want to marry at all and that this is just an excuse. What do you think? JULIA

ANSWER: Your summing up of the situation is just exactly right. There is little doubt that your friend is altar-shy and has pounced on the first motive he could find for letting you know it. After all. if he has never mentioned marriage to you, he certainly has no right to object to your dating someone else. I don't think the difference n your ages has anything to do with the situation; he has just grown Evcn

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Will you give me some suggestions on

the following:

1. How to practice being tactful.

2. How to combat the after-effect of tactless remarks by others. KAY

ANSWER: The Golden Rule is the best example of fact. I know "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.” Keep that in mind and you'll never say the thoughtless. cutting things that hurt people. Make it part of your daily living and you'll be practicing tact in the best possible manner. When a tactiess remark is made by another. the best thing to do is smooth the situation over by a change of subject or, if possible, turning the thoughtless words Into a Joke.

Such strange methods of treat-' ing the sick and injured may. seem ridiculous to most peoplc,1 but it is an accepted fact that thef efficacy of many cures depends; largely upon faith. Years ago, lead-r ing medics had faith in bee stings, for curing rheumatics. Today-ls; doctors would call that pure bunk-i um. But how do they know? We now know that the North Ameri- can could cure diseases by the use of medicinal plants and that some patent medicines have been lobcl-' ed "Indian" in order to step up their sales. Perhaps some day we may come to realize ihat some of the strange medicines and Well'd' practices of primitive races were not so silly as they have sccnicd.
