Crops and Stock Thrive
On Most Northerly Farm

The Norilsk State farm, a Soviet
agricultural enterprise, stands on
the 10th parallel in the midst of a
desert region, in the zone of eter-
nal frost. There the Arctic night
lasts for nearly two months. There
are frequent heavy Billiards, when
the thermometer drops to 60 de-
grees below ere centigrade.
Potatoes, cabbages, onions, car
rots and sugar beets are grown
successfully in the open fields Of
this Arctic farm. Tomatoes, Gu.
cumbers and spinach are raised ir
% hot-houses. An experimental
sowing of melons has yielded en-
couraging results.
Livestock thrives on the farm
and is rapidly increasing in mum
Der. There r 1873 cows, all borr
in this Arctic region. A subsidiary
farm houses 200 pigs of pure York
shire breed.

When you see news photos OF
soldiers "off duty in camp or be-
hind the attle-lines-notice how
often you'll see them smoking a
cigarette. There's a good reason
for that. Army officials say that
cigarettes are an appreciate fac
tor in maintaining morale-and
the soldiers themselves add that a
carton of cigarettes from home is
always welcome. What brand?
Well, sales records in Post Ex-
changes and Canteens show that
Camels are the favorite cigarette
with men in all the services.
Though there are Post Office re-

ARMY AND COAL MINES

John L. Lewis would have got the
surprise of his life if he could have
had a dictaphone recording Of the
conversation Of Secretary Of War
Stimson and Gen. B. B. Somervel
regarding the use of troops in taking
i've the coal mines.
Lewis had expressed public ap.
prehension that the army had a plan
to seize the coal mines in case Of
a strike. Undoubtedly subordinate
army officers did have such a plan
in mind.
But when Secretary Stimson sat
down with Secretary Ickes. plus
General Somervell and other army
officers, the army expressed vigor-
ous opinions to the contrary. Gen.
eral Somervell, accused by some Of
wanting the army to take over all
civilian activities, made this re-
mark:
THE last thing we want is an is
sue Of the army against the people"
Secretary Stimson also expressed
relief that Secretary Ickes. known
as a staunch defender of civil lib
erty. had been selected by the Presi-
dent to handle the coal crisis. He
offered Ickes every cooperation but
expressed the hope that he would not
have to use troops.

Blind Enabled to Weigh
Articles on Audio-Scale

A new instrument known as the
"audio-scale," which enables the
blind to weigh even small articles
accurately by sound, has been
demonstrated at the American
Federation for the Blind.
The idea was suggested by Miss
Evelyn Watson, a blind woman.
The instrument, which can be at
tached to any type of weighing ma
chine, operates on the aeroplane
radio beam principle, giving out a
different note for each different
weight. 1t will open many new
fields for the blind in war indus
tries.

When making berry pies, mix
with the fruit measurement for
one pie about two tablespoons fine
quick-cooking tapioca to make a
clear thick juice that should not
run out during baking and that will
serve neatly.
Buttons on a wooden or knitted
coat sometimes tear away from
the material, leaving an u%nsightly
hole. To prevent this from hap
pening, place a small button on
the wrong side, beneath the larger
button and sew the two on to-
gether.
Put a sponge in the bottom of
your ported plants and you won't
have to water them so often.
Wooden garments will retain
their fuffiness and will not shrink
if a teaspoonful of %glycerine is add
ed to the warm water in which
they are washed and rinsed.
Vinegar eliminates odors. Don't
put away a frying pan that smells
of onions, fish or some other
strong-favored food. Put some
vinegar in the pan and bring to a
boil. Then wash as usual.
If too much salt is put in the
soup, a few slices of potato will
remove it. A raw potato in the
refrigerator will absorb unpleasant
odorS.
If you find fruit jars difficult to
get clean after cold packing corn
or meat, rub the jar with salt and
wash in the usual way.
If your family considers squash
a tasteless vegetable, try serving
it with a white sauce with melted
cheese in it. They will change
their minds.
Baking materials are precious
these days, and burning a cake is
little short of a tragedy. When
putting a cake into the oven set an
alarm clock for the time the cake
should be finished baking. This is
a big help, especially when visi-
tors drop in, and one is apt to
forget all about the cake in the
oven.

circus cage in The Worlds Great

Gargantua, about two years ago, his
weight was announced at $50 pounds.
On this last occasion his weight was
given out at 600.
At the moment, we wondered just
what would have happened If Tun-
ney, Dempsey and Louis together
had entered his cage to throw right

or right crosses.
Tunney has always insisted that if
you nailed a gorilla squarely on the

could be true. But tangling up with
