laundry that returned it clean and
ironed in two or three days.
Now the laundry situation is SO
acute in many places that they
will only pick up clothes every two
or three Weeks-and then not guar
antee when they will be returned.
Mons basement laundry offers
much better service than that.
Also MONS meals taste especially
good after the family has attempted
to take meal out in a crowded,
under-staffed restaurant - with, in
all probability, limited menu. Eat
ing at home, rather than eating
out, now looks good to the whole
family, with the possible exception
of Nom herself.
LUCKY TO HAVE MON
And as for Mons canning-the
entire family admires the jars of
fruit and vegetables she is storing
away IN the basement. They know
those jars may mean the difference
between. being well or poorly fed
next winter.
The family that has a woman
devoting her full time to home
making is lucky family in these
times.
For now that there are SO many
services that money won't buy, at
least at the moment when they are
wanted, the Mons of the country
have really come into their own.

Palilionoidea. 1t has been said they
probably are the most familiar sof
all our butterflies. One does not
question this statement after watch
ing the various members call on the
garden and vegetable flowers.
In general, the basal color of the
wings is black. The coloring on
them is in unusual designs and in
bright yellow, green or blue. The
margins are decorated with red or
orange dots. Further, the swallow
tail butterflies are characterized by
certain well-defined peculiarities in
the branching of the wing veins. 1t
is most interesting to make study
Of them.
The caterpillars in this family
when full grown are large, quite
smooth, with but a sparse showing
of fine hairs or f1eshy threadlike
projections. But the most charac-
teristic feature is found just behind
the head. Here will be seen the
scent organs. II frightened or an

people travel almost as they did in
past times.
China's chief ways of transport
are by river and canal. OF course
there are war fronts" which are
hard to pass, but travel still goesS
on behind the lines. 1t is hard to
block waterway by dropping A
bombs on 1t.
The Chinese have been slow
about building railroads. There are
some in the country. but not nearly
so many as we might expect from
the size of China.
For thousands Of years the
Chinese have been travelling up and
down the Hwang-ho and other
rivers, large and small They also
have made great use of the canals.
The city OF Venice, Italy, has
famous waterway known as the
Grand Canal" but 1t ! is small
when compared with the Grand
Canal of China. The Chinese canal
runs from Hangchow to Tientsin,
and is about 1000 miles long. 1t
is long enough to stretch from the.
northern end of Italy down to the
toe of the Italian boot, then on
through Sicily and into Africa for
distance OF more than 200 miles
The first work on the Grand
Canal seems to have been done
close to $500 years ago. In the
centuries which have passed since
then, it has been enlarged and
made much longer.
The Grand Canal runs through a
thickly settled part of Northern
China. Hundreds of bridges, some
Of them made of stone, have been
built across it.
The Grand Canal of China, ranks
as the longest in the world, but
there are many other large ones In
China. The country has q network
of canals, and they have a. total
length greater than that of. all the
rest of the canals in the world.
The rivers and canals of China
carry goods between cities, and
also serve another purpose. Thou
sands of families have small house,
boats on them.
Many of the shouseboats are OF
the sampan type. They are from
Is to 20 feet. long, and family
may have no home except the
sampan on which 1t rides up and
down a waterway.

NEWFOUNDLAND BUTTERFLY
(Papilio brepicduda)
The swallowtail butterflies are
famous because of their long tails.
This member of the clan decided TO
be different and seems to have had
them clipped. No doubt you recog-
nize the resemblance to our black
swallowtail. at once. The yellow
spots would have to be replaced by
orange ones. One wonders how
many centuries ago this butterfly
shortened the length Of the tails of
the hind wings.
The short-tailed papilio Is known
in limited area in Newfoundland
and around the Gulf of st. Law
renee. But it has not changed the
family habits of the swallowtails,
even though it shortened the flowing
tails.
One finds this butterfly seeking
stones and gravel around the middle
of the day. 1t loves to rest its body
on these warmers" and absorb the
violet rays of the sun.
The caterpillars must have the
leaves of some member of the pars-
ley family. Their mother has
chosen such plant upon which to
anchor her eggs. There is thought
to be but one brood each year and
the insect hibernates as chrysalis.
The swallowtails belong to the

STRONG OPPOSITION -.
The OCR spokesman admitted
that the program would run into
strong military opposition, but add
ed that the OCR is planning to de-
fend its position = that civilians
need certain items to keep up
morale and efficiency.
I'VE are asking for more for the
last quarter of this year than is
now being manufactured" the Of
ficial said s"And we are particular
ly asking that personal items--the
perplexing, miserable little things
that can upset civilians when
missing-be manufactured in guam
titles that will take care of de-
mand."
For instance. he said bobby pins,
hair pins and safety pins seem like
insignificant items. Yet they play
an important part in the lives of
many and production Is to be re-
quested stepped up. Witness the
recent furore caused over the
scarcity of safety pins for baby
diapers.
The trend that the OCR hopes
to follow will be to get the smaller
but necessary things for civilians
and cut down on larger items that
consume more material. Rationing
of some of the larger items, which
he declined to name, may be
undertaken.
1t is possible that there will be
renewal of the manufacture of
electric irons-possibly a million of
them, and perhaps washing ma
chimes.
