K.C. No request from any war service group or individual member of the Canadian Active Service Forces or Reserve Army made to the Ottawa lodge of B'Nai B'Rith has gone unanswered. This is the proud record of the organization headed by the three well known gentlemen pictured above. man of Ottawa and Dr. David Petegorsky, formerly of Ottawa and now of Michigan.

Gel Monthly Treats Jewish boys and young men with the armed forces overseas enjoy the benefits of B'Nai ERith's efforts. Each one serving abroad receives a box filled with necessary articles, clothing, monthly as well as 300 cig-arets monthly. During the course of the past year the lodge has contributed grants of $23 each to the Knights of Columbus, the Y.M.C.A. and the Salvation Army at Petawawa: to the Greek Relief Fund and the London Lord Mayor's Fund. The Goldfield Berger Lieff committee co-operates generally with all such other war services' bodies In the city and only recently members of the lodge were extremely active in the local war savings certificates drive.

Meanwhile an affiliated group, the A.Z.A., junior boys of the lodge, arc conducting a campaign for funds with which to purchase the Lillian Freiman mobile can-tern for service overseas.

Betty Harris and Lorr.a Bethune. Indicating the wealth of leltnit in the school, one of the best concerts to be staged in the Lisgar Collegiate auditorium by the Students' Council was presented last evening before a capacity audience. A smartly paced, diversified program that featured several highly entertaining novelty numbers showed evidences of careful preparation and forethought. Good Stage Lighting. This year new spotlights afforded an opportunity to demonstrate the value of good stage lighting.

It was used to dramatic effect by the members of the gym team who. covered with aluminum paint." gave exhibitions of classical poses. Fine physiques stood out dynamically in a golden spotlight. The dance numbers were also enhanced by clever floodlighting. Tlie number.

The School of the Dance, afforded an opportunity to run the gamut of the various dances' rhythms. Excellent musical backgrounds were provided by the school orchestra which also rendered several numbers as did the Glee Club, both under the direction of A. Procter, B.A., L.T.C.M. Comic Hit. One of the comic hits of the evening was the "Chalk Talk" given by Carleton Werner.

Armed with a piece of charcoal and an easel, the young artist demonstrated his ingenuity and provoked many laughs with a clever characterization of a professor. Among the numbers rendered by the orchestra was an original composition by Joan McGuirl, young Ottawa pianist. Billy Richards, violinist, was among the soloists, while "My Buddy." sung by Eileen Mahoney, was received with enthusiasm. A swing band also showed that the students were not musically behind the times. Acting in the skits and in the play, Thornton Wilder's "Tlie Happy Journey," was of a high standard.

Tlie latter was played on a bare stage, four chairs representing an automobile. Clever pantomime and good direction made it an excellent conclusion to the program. Program and Personnel. The program and personnel was as follows: Victory Overture. Taylor; Joan's Piece.

It's nice to see Katherine Hep-bum back on the screen again after such a long vacation, and it's still more pleasant to see and hear her in such a fable of the uppercrust of Quaker City. "Tlie Philadelphia Storr." the Philip Barry play in which she appeared so long and so successfully on Broadway and throughout the United States. The story is of the redemption of a very priggish and disagreeable young lady who thinks because her forebears were such and such, almost everything else is as dirt beneath her number fives or sixes.

Hollywood really has gone to town on "Tlie Philadelphia Story." It has given Miss Hepburn everything a star could ask, two of the finest types of young leading men, a popular screen funmakcr, a talented child to play the younger sister, settings thr.t are in keeping with what the Quaker City's exclusive snobs are supposed to loll about in, and almost everything else the heart could desire. There are a lot of amusing complications to the story. First, on the eve of the young lady's wedding, her first husband appears on the scene. He has escorted to the holy of holies a young journalist and a girl photographer who are to cover the wedding for one of those kind of magazines that want the history of the family back as far as possible-with close-up stories of the present members. How does he manage to introduce this precious a Mr rrlf az By L.

A. HAWKINS Q. I have heard that electric clocks draw such a small amount of power because they operate on impulses of electricity, instead of drawing current all the time. Is this correct? A. No.

Electric clocks are run by small synchronous motors, which draw current continually. The reason they use so little is because so little power is required to run the gears of the clock; the output of the tiny motor is only about two thousandths of one horsepower. Therefore, even though these tiny motors run 24 hours a day. year in and year out. the amount of energy they consume Is small.

Q. How is the presence of vitamins detected in foods? A. The presence of vitamins is determined by the effect of the food on experimental animals, usually rats and guineapigs, but sometimes human beings. The exact mode of action of the vitamins is still unknown, but both in their effects and in the need which exists for a constant supply of them, they present a striking analogy to tlie hormones, such as adrenalin and secretin, which act to regulate many of the body's functions. Q.

What is the change In gasoline that makes it Ethyl? A. There is no change in the gasoline itself, but a small amount of Ethyl antiknock fluid is added to it; this fluid chances the rate at which the gasoline burns in the engine cylinder. The Ethy! antiknock fluid is composed of Tetra-ethyl lead, ethylene dibromide. etbylene dichloride, and dye. The octane rating of the gasoline, which is a measure of its antiknock quality, is Increased by the addition of this fluid: how much depends on the gasoline and on the quantity of Ethyl fluid added.

Q. Why is the sky blue? A. The sky looks blue to us because only blue light reaches us from it. Here is what happens: sunlight is a mixture of all the colors of the spectrum, from the infrared up through the visible red. orange, green, yellow, blue and ultraviolet.

Now the light at the lower, or red. end of the spectrum is relatively little scattered by atmosphere and comes to us fairly directly from the sun. Toe light at the upper end the lue end of the spectrum is very much scattered by the atmosphere, however, and so much of it scatters off to the areas of the atmosphere away from its direct path and is reflected or refracted back to us from these areas. So. only blue light reaches us from these areas, and thus the sky seems to be blue.

pair into the sanctum of the landed acreage? By a simple subterfuge that sets the young lady and her mother on the edge of the jitters in fear of a supposed expose of the father's life elsewhere. It's all very amusing, with rapier-like dialogue, and Miss Hepburn carrying through the psychological study of the character of the young lady she is playing in most brilliant manner. James Stewart as the reporter and Cary Grant as the ex-husband also are in the mood, while Ruth Hussey as the camera girl, Virginia Weidler as the sister, Roland Young as the uncle, John Halliday as the father and Mary Nash as the mother add much to the merriment of the occasion. You will have a lot of fun when you see and hear "Tlie Philadelphia Story," even if you have not much sympathy for the lavishly rich. R.

Tlie extremely likable and intensely natural performance was produced by the "Ta-Ta" club, and presented under the auspices of the Student Council. One-third of the proceeds of the show, which wilUalso be presented tonight in the collegiate auditorium, will be donated to war charities.

Comedy Playlet. A feature of the concert was a one-act comedy, "Pa's New Housekeeper," and. as is usual with the Glebe's annual presentation, the hours of rehearsing under the watchful eye of teachers and Instructors was evidenced in a delightful performance of clockwork precision. The program opened with presentations by the "Esquires of Rhythm," and one of the four numbers, Betty Co-Ed, featured a dance quintet, and jitterbug session. Changing the pace In the program were gymnastics under the heading of "Higher and Higher," after which the musical part of the concert was emphasized with selections by the Orpheus choir, which also included a violin solo by R.

Part of this money has been ad- vanced to Palestine where the British Near East Command authorities are directing the construction of the Lillian Freiman hospital. Part of the money, too, is being sent to Britain for the construction of the Lillian Freiman ward of a Red Cross Hospital. But the organization feels there are still a number of outlets for the energies of its members and the war services committee only recently instituted the "Mary Pickford Purse" drive.

The purse donated originally by the famous movie actress for a raffle with the proceeds to go to the British relief fund was won by a Canadian B'Nai B'Rith lodge. The purse is being re-raffled so that a greater amount can be contributed to the fund and the local sale of tickets has been endorsed by Mayor Stanley Lewis. Have New rians Now, the Goldfield.

The Victorian Order of Nurses have an annual dinner, which was made possible through a bequest from the late Mrs. J. B. Fraser.

This year the nurses decided that instead of having a dinner they would give this money for the relief of British civilian nurses, who are in dire need of assistance. Announcement of this was made at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the V.O.N, yesterday when Mrs. W. B. Mac-Dermott presided.

During the past month 1.647 visits were made by the Victorian Order Nurses, Miss K. Mcllraith. district superintendent, reported total fees -collected amounted to $618.54.
