Every Year... Femininity Is Hill Top Card By CAROLINI CHATFIELD DEAR MISS CHATFIELD: my mind ._ eap Yeu and I'm I've made up my mind to take •tage of Leap Yeu and I'm going after a certain young man. advantag Some say this is puppy love on ' pirt tnd I really don't know the difference between puppy love and the other sort.

ANSWER; Well, Penny, puppy love is the fint end the lait perfectly un- lelfiah, undesigning, ir ntaneoui affection girl and boy feel for each other. Nothing to be ashamed of but rather something to be savored fully. So it doesn't make much difference whether your love for a certain young man is puppy or the other tort. Suffice It to say love gives you lief to take advantage ot Leap Year. Remember, while the calender It a bit different every tour yeen, boy nature is not i whit different yeir in md year out 'A boy hu alwayi md alwayi will rebel at being gone after by a bold girl who ttatet her platform and tries to put it over. "Vain ii the net ipread ln tbe light ot any bird.'' Then dont let your lid suspect you are after him, Let him see that you are not averse to being chased. Don't let him suspect that you care more for him thm he caret for you. So long u you keep him guessing you keep him ln the game. Dont confine yourself to dates with him but let htm see thit your itock is at a premium with other lads. Everything that Ls distinctly feminine It attractive to boyi. Then be feminine. It you aren't sure whit femininity is, here'! the inkling Personal daintiness thit it neat md clean and sweet, gentleness of voice, manner, conversation and laughter.

MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN PRESS AND THE AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS. , THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1940 DOING AS MUCH AS WE THINK POSSIBLE ISN'T ENOUGH . Some weeks ago it was intimated at Ottawa that Canada's war industry with orders in hand and work that is planned would reach its maximum possible production. That statement cannot be the whole truth. Canada's industry has not been engaged in war work sufficiently long for any man to be able to measure its peak. To try and set a definite limit would not only be impossible but it might be disastrous. In a war such as this it is the country which does more than it thinks possible that is rewarded by victory, not the country which measures its strength by established rules. We must break all precedents, smash all rules, and base our production not upon what we think we can do but upon what the Empire needs. . Wars are won by breaking precedents, by accoihplish- ing the seemingly impossible. It is in that frame of mind that Ottawa should give ,leadej»hip. THE COMING BATTLE FOR BRITAIN The British have won a great preliminary victory over the Italians in Africa, the moral effect of which is tremendous in the Middle East, in Africa and in Asia. The Greeks have astounded the world-by their historic destruction of the Italian forces in Albania. But—None of us should allow ourselves to forget Lord Beaverbrook's statement in a broadcast on Tuesday that Hitler is making colossal preparations for attempting again in the Spring the invasion of Great Britain. That attempt will fail, but it will fail through the unremitting efforts of the democracies to supply Great Britain with aircraft, ships, guns, shells, food and such additional armed and technically trained manpower as may be needed. ' The great and decisive battles of this war are yet to iome. '.■■■ Canada is doing; much, but it must do very much more, to strengthen the Empire in the struggle against destruction by Germany. -;-»■'' • _, .' ,,'f.i Ort JAe.

The zone 16 degreei wide, 8 degrees on each aide of the ecliptic, is known as the zodiac. Beginning at the point on the ecliptic which marks the position of the sun at the vernal equinox, and then proceeding Eastward, the zodiac is divided into 12 signs of 30 degreei each. These signs are narrl- ed from the 12 constellations of the zodiac; wjth which the signs coincided in the time of the astronomer Hlpparchus, about 2000 years ago. Owing to the precession ot the equinoxes, that is to say, the retrograde motiowof the equinoxes along the ecliptic, each sign in the zodiac has, in the course of 2000 yeara, moved backward 30 degrees into the constellation West of it; so that the sign Aries Is now in the con stellatlon of Pisces, and so on: The signs of the Zodiac with their Latin and English names are at follows: Sprng signs — Arie,, the ram; Taurus, the bull; Gemini, the twins, Summer signs — Cancer, the crab; ,Leo, the uon; Virgo, the virgin. Autumn ilgns — Libra, the balance; Scorpio, the scorpion; Sagittarius, the archer. Winter signs — Capri, cornus, the goat; Aquarius, the wat- er bearer; Pisces, the fishei. G.

Allies Started Fierce Campaign fo Force Dardanelles During First Great War Twenty-Five Years Ago By H. H. GORDON Cimdltn Prtu Stiff Writer After t lapse of 28 years world attention is again focussed on the Middle East where Germa nand , Italian aspirations seek the destrue- tlon of Britain's interests in Egypt aifd Iraq and the closing of her highway lo India through the Suez CSnaL ■ In the first Great War the Allies fought the most disastrous campaign of the four-year conflict in thit f__ici_nt theatre of war. Long and bitter controversy resulted Irom their- failure to force the Dardanelles, gateway to Russia's -Black Sea Ports and the heart of the O'.'.oman Empire. Twenty-five yean ago today the m 'n body of Allied troops was successfully evacuated toom the clltf-bordered beaches ot the Gal- lipoli Peninsula. The operation was <_be of the few bright spots in 10 months of naval and military war- ftre against the Turks - fighting that cost the Allies 130,000 men, killed, wounded and missing. EPIC OF DARDANELLES Endurance of the Allied troops during the land campaign that followed unsuccessful efforts of a fleet to Wait its way through the Dardanelles is an epic in British history. Casualties in bitterly-fought battles were augmented by losses from disease and through it all the expedition suffered from shortages of men and supplies. A total of about 3_7,000 combatant troopi and 140,000 non-combatants were employed from time to time in the Allied land operations. The maximum strength at any one time was about 85,000 combatant and -2,000 non-combatant. Indirectly tne campaign achieved notable results in holding Turkish armies from other theatres of war, particularly Palestine, Mesopotamia Bnd Armenia. But .political and strategi-al objectives that prompted the expedition were never achieved. Early in 1915 the armies of the Allies and ie-> pondent Text Books, $20. Books Al cond.

Instead, the failure to force a quick victory to the side of the Allies, making poisible an attack on Germany'! Southern frontiers. Instead, the failure to force a quick victory was responsible for Bulgaria joining the Central .Powers and the'embroilment of the Allies in a strength sappitig campaign in the Balkans. Veterani ot the Gallipoli expedition recall names like Cape Helles, Gaba Tepe (later known as Anzac Cove) and Suvla Bay md the battles of Krithia, Achi Baba, Sari Bair and Suvla. MEMORABLE LANDING . Withering fire from Turkiah defenders on the heights above Amac Cove failed to halt Australian and New Zealand troops in their memorable landing on April 25, 1915. They scaled steep cliffs and gradually dug themselves in in the face of great odds. The Trojan-Horse story of the troopship River Clyde is another of the unforgettable incidents. Jammed with troopi the old vessel was run ashore and the men disembarked through an improvised gangway. When Turkey threw in iti lot with th eCentral Powers in October, 1814. Russia's water communications with the rest of Europe were virtually cut off. The German Navy's blockade stopped her in the Baltic. With Russia's Black Sea porta clogged with foodstuffs and other products and th epressing need for imports of munitions and war equipment, the plan to break through the Dardanelles from the Mediterranean was given consideration by the British and French Government! on Russia'! suggestion, The question of mastering the all- important waterway had been studied by British naval and military experts many years before. Then lt was agreed that, whether the campaign was to take the form of e purely naval expedition or to be the teak of a combined army and navy force, the enterprise wai bound to prove moat difficult. . When Ruuia appealed to the .'J* lies early in 1915 requesting that an attempt be made to open the Dardanelles, no large bodies of troopi were available. With the approval of Vice-Admlral Sir Sack- ville Carden,- commander of the Mediterranean Fleet, a purely naval undertaking wai decided on. He proposed a methodical advance with a fleet attempting to destroy the Ottoman forts in the Strait! and the clearing ol minefields sown ln the channel. FLEET OPERATION Fourteen British and four French warships, many of them leml-obio- lete in view of the danger of the enterprise, steamed into the Western entrance to the Straits on Feb. 19 but it was not until a week later that the outer Turkish forte were illenced. Largely because of the Inability of Allied minesweepers to make headway under the fire of the Turks the plan for, a methodical advance collapsed. Vice-Admlral Cardon had been replaced by Vice-Admlral Sir John De Robeck and he decided on a quick attack on the Narrows, only a mile wide at one point. The operation op March 18 wat unsuccessful and three battleships were sunk. De Robeck then informed the Admiral ty that the campaign could not be continued as a purely naval opera tlon. From this point the military began to assume the principal role In the Entente's efforts to secure control of the Dardanelles. After 42 yean' service ln every quarter of the globe, Sir Ian Hamilton was given command of a force of Britiih, Australian, New Zealand and French troops. The veteran general hid Uttle to work with. He htd a manual ot the Turkish army, an out-of-date admiralty report on Dardanellei defences and an old map. On April 25, allied troopi mtde successful landings at three of the points where debarkation was attempted. But they were effected at terrific cost.

HAMILTON APPEAL With the landing accomplished, Sir Ian Hamilton appealed to Lord Kitchener for reinforcements:. "One fresh man on Gallipoli today is worth 50 loafing around London in .the Central Force," he laid. "Exactly one-half of my bayonets ipend the nights carrying water, ammunition and supplies between the beach and the firing line.. The other half are up the whole night, armed mostly with spades, digging desperately into the earth." Reinforcements were lent!, but itill there was a lack of men and supplies, particularly high explosives. The Turks reorganized under the German general, Li-nan von Sanders, were adequately strengthened. Several Turkish divisions were liberated for service at the Dardanelles when a Russian army destined for the Bosporus was taken from Odessa for ..vice ln Galicia. Month after month the Allied forces clung to position! and fought battle! on the peninsula. In the late Fall Sir.Ian was replaced by Sir C. C. Monro who, after examining the situation on the spot, declared unhesitatingIg for a complete withdrawal. I/)i-d Kitchener was sent to investigate. He also reported that evacuation was the only justifiable course. Under the noses of the Turkish defenders the Allies set about the business of withdrawal trom Suvla Bay and Anzec Cove. Night after night masses of war material md food luppllei were removed and animals got aWay. During the daylight ' houn guni boomed, reliefs took plice as usual and pretences were made of disembarking animals and supplies. The Turks were completely out-manoeuvred and on the morning of Dec. 19 the skeleton force withdrew from the trenches and embarked with only two casualties. The evacuation of the forces at Helles on the extreme tip dt the peninsula was carried out success- hilly three weeki later. INSURANCE, ind REAL ESTATE R. W.

Tree Ornaments Supplied by U.S. NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (AP) - For the first time ln history, most of the Christmas tree ornaments being sold in the United Statei thii year are American-made. A 100,000-mile long rivulet of molten glass three inches wide is the lource of the greater part of theie Americin baubles. That is the length of glass poured thus far thii year upon the moving belts a huge Christmas ornament machine tt the Wellsboro, Pa., plant of the Corning Glasi Works. As the hot glass moves along the belt puffs of compressed air convert tt into a moving row of hollow gloves. An automatic process daubs or prints a Christmas decoration on the bulb. Formerly most of the American Christmas tree ornaments were supplied by Germany and Czechoslovakia, LONDON (CP). - During an airraid alert and while anti-aircraft gum lounded in the distance, Sir Cyril Fox, Director of the National Museum of Wales, talked here to the Society of Antiquaries on the "Bronze Age."

Theie figure! are compiled fromi the report of the Public Works Department covering work in 1940, as presented to the City Council Tuesday night by the Board of Works, consisting of Aid. T. H. Waters, Chairman; Mayor N. C. Stibbs, Aid. A. G. Ritchie and Aid. G. M. Benwell. While the report did not Include all of the December activities of the Department, it was essentially complete ilnce the Department wai now confined to maintenance work, stated H. D. Dawson, City Engineer. Most of the Public Works men, except those on maintenance, are now employed on the Waterworks Department Fairview main project. liie complete report followa; GRADING The year opened with the work of grade separation continuing in the 1100 and 1200 blocks on High Street, and with the work of installing a 10-inch lewer along Douglas Road from Anderson Street, being Sewer Project No. 41. There were 18 men on the Public Works payroll, with from leven to 16 daily on relief, while on the sewer project the numben varied from nine to 13 daily. STREETS CLEARED On completion of the High Street work we carried'on a fairly large amount of work at the North end of Vancouver Street removing large rock and grading, and we did some small amount of work removing the bank on Edgewood Avenue opposite the Curling Rink entrance and in opening up the lane in Block 13, Lot 150 West of Kootenay Street and North of Robson St. By this time the Spring breakup had arrived and very little further grading work was done until Aprl 16 when the work of execavaung on Front Street and reballastlng and surfacing'with premix i_phalt was commenced. From then on We have carried out the following major 1. Grading and black-topping four blocks both sides of track on Front Street; 2, Blacktopplng three blocks on Victoria Street from Josephine to Cedar; 3. Blicktopping all that portion of Nelson Avenue fronting the Hume School together with sidewalk there; 4. Excavating poor material and reballaitlng four blocks on Third Street with the adjacent portion! of .Daviei Street; 5. Grading of two blocks on Hendryx Street between Latimer and Observatory together with the removal of considerable portions of the High School bank. MISCELLANEOUS JOBS Some of the less important worki done during the year are enumer ated as follows: 1. Cribbing and grading East aide of Falls Street South from* Victoria; 2. Lane Weit of Josephine Street North of Latimer; '■ 3. Lane East of Ward Street North of Mill; 4. Removing large bed rock at intersection of View and Union Streets; 5. Grading boulevard West side ot Nelson Avenue opposite Hume school; 6. Removing of bank at intersection of Elwyn and Fifth Streets; 7. Widening Popular Street between Front Street and C. P. Railway; 8. Grading of Chatham Street above Douglas Road;' 9. Grading of the lane between Vancouver Street and Slocan Street, Rosemont; 10. Preparing boulevards on Stanley Street; 11. Grading of Union Street West of Pine; 12. Blacktopplng of alley North of Baker Street West of Kootenay; 13. Blacktopplng o' portion of Nelson Avenue by the Shardelow Tourist Camp. ASPHALTING As toon ai weather conditions permitted, we treated practically all existing asphalt surfaces with a leal coat, namely: Three block! on. Latimer Street; three, blocks on Kootenay Street: three blocks on Stanley Street; three block! on Silica Street; four block! on Vernon Street; one block on Hendryx Street; one block on Baker Street; and a number ot smaller areas. For these purposes 6700 gallons of asphalt were'used. During the year we have purchased four carloads ot M.C. 3 asphalt— a total of 25,851 gallons. The amount used in preparing pre-mix for the various new construction projecti imounted to 16,562 gallons covering an area of 11,800 iquare yardi Owing to the prevailing damp sand in the pit 500 gallons of fuel oil were used to assist In mixing. In addition to the new road project! as stated, we bave supplied the Street Railway Department with pre-mix for railway crossings and repair work, which consumed 770 gallon! of asphalt, and we supplied the Parks Committee for Lakeside Park with another 300 gallons. Sundry repair work and patching took 1580 gallon!. A few small pieces of asphalt were done for private owneri at their expense. By the end ot the season we stored a imall quantity in order to be in. a position to treat chuck holes which may develop before the next year's asphalting season comei on. EQUIPMENT During the yeir wt have purchased three new pieces of equipment, namely, the sanding machine, which wai put into use eirly to January and proved very effective and two trucks. Throughout the year two trucks have operated iteadily; trom April 16 to November 9 there were three operating; and from May 14 to September 21 tht fourth wtt also ln operation. The total mileage of theie four trucks tor the year amount! to 22,534 milei. - , On November 9 we cloted flown new construction work, leaving two trucks on maintenance work alone. On this date the majority of the Public Worki crew! normally engaged on new conitruction work were switched over to the water- worki project, Bylaw 1002. There are usually IS of such men on the water ditching work, but as occasion demands some of these are withdrawn when required on downtown work.. ' We had the shovel working continuously from April 16 to November 5 and during this time the shovel excavated, mainly from road grades and iome smaller amounts from the High and Central Schooli ground!, 8838 yardi of which about 500 yardi wai hauled by private trucka for convenience of cit'i.ns requiring material, and the bal»nce by our City truck!, In addition the shovel loaded 6476 yardi of gravel from the Fairview and Roaemont pits combined, miking a total of 15314 yards'handled by the ihovel. CRUSHtR PLANT Early to the leiion we entirely dismantled the cruiher plmt, purchased a number of new parti, chiefly for the elevitor and crusher, and re-assembled and started operating in the middle of March, and the plant was kept in continuous operation up to November 12. During this time it produced! for street grading, 4181 yards; for winter land, 600 yards; for- the asphalt mixing plant, being sand and small crushed rock, 1298 yards. The amounts sold amounted to: Sand 537 yards; gravel 120 yardi; crushed rock, 17 yards; a total oi 674 yardi. • Total produced by the crusher was 6753 yards. So that together with the amount previously stated, as loaded by the shovel from the pits, the total production from the pits amount to 13,229 yards. ROAD OILING During the month of July we gave the whole of our gravelled road system a treatment of fuel oil for dust laying purposes, using for this purpose 16,280 gallons. DRY STONE WALLS A number of dry itone wall projecti were put in hand and completed during the year. That on Carbonate Street,East from Josephine, and that on Hall Street North of Latimer were the largest, the first entailing the laying of 120 cubic yardi of rocks, and the second 67 cubic yards. Other similar projects were small quantities each in the following lanes: 1. East ot Stanley and South of Robson Street; 2. West ot Kootenay Street South of Baker; 3. West of Josephine, North ot Hoover; 4. West of Josephine, North of Latimer. These comprise a total of 23 cubic yards, making a grand total of 212 cubic yardi. Thii rock wai quarried from behind the Wtrehoute, from City owned block! on the Ymir Road, and from a number of large boulders ln different parts of the City, That trom the warehouse wai the cheapest to quarry, but the grade deteriorated so that we had to stop production from that source. Cutting and picking up rock from the roadsides is a more expensive way ot quarrying, but on the other hand removing the rock from roadsides serves the additional purpose of assisting to the street grading. DRAINAGE The work ot sewing and drainage haa been carried on fairly continuously throughout the year, all but small amounts being in the Fairview District. The total footage of sewers and drains laid amounts to 7154 feet and consists of the following: 10-inch, 1880 feet; 8-inch, 723 feet; 6-inch, 3403 feet; 4-mch, 1146 feet. The 10-inch sewer wai laid Douglai Roid, and the 8-inch tewer was divided between Fourth Street for the Radio Subdivision local Improvement scheme, the Hendryx Street storm water drain near, toe High School, and the extenilon of the overflow lewer under the wharf at the foot ot Hall Street The 6-inch leweri includes: 1079 feet in the Radio Subdivision local improvement icheme; 366 feet on the Elwyn and Sixth Street extenilon: 328 feet on Fifth Street South of Elwyn; 148 feet on Union Street West from Pine; 260 feet on Union Street above Douglai Road. Smaller amount follows: in block 37 and 58A, and 800 block Sixth Street, and a number of imaller lengths moat of which ire in con nection with draining catch basins, while the 4-inch tewer cover entirely new sewer connections to the number of 41. There were 15 new manholes constructed and 40 new catch basins. The manhole coven were purchased from W. S. Barwis at the Coait, but the 40 new catch basin grates were all constructed by our black- sinitir. - CONCRETE CURBS AND SIDEWALKS D. ring the yeir we hive con itructed 2174 feet of standard concrete curb ot which 320 feet wai done it the Instance ot private parties md at their expense.
