The results ot the tests have been r m it ted to manufacturers of sheet- iSl itiir, who are trying to find ways to make sheets which will Wear longer l in the parts where these gave out. Not a matter of great national imjiortaneo. perhaps, hut an illustration " ^ of the way in which scientific re- ? Jw .search by the Government aids man- l,! I V; ufaeturors and incidentally helps to provide the public with better goods, n Industries Economists, statesmen and capital- v ists are hunting for new industries v, to take up the slack in permanent v employment resulting from the ex- s< tensions of labor-saving devices in j a established industries. tl One thing that is being seriously Ip considered by one of the groat con-| b eerns which manufactures mechani-jtl eni uevices, is a inacnine wrlicji can tbe installed in the home, like a radio a or a refrigerator, which will cool the T house, or at least the room it is in, c: in summer- In the laboratory it is ti possible to do this now. What is ii needed is the development of this t< on a commercial scale, to sell at a tl price within the reach of the aver- n age family. a In time, and perhaps in a very ti short time, something like that will b become a great industry. I si il Airplanes For the first time since flying was j, invented, anybody can now buy n serviceable, up-to-date plane, com- j plete with engine and all necessary ir -equipment, for less than $1,000. tl That does not mean, however, that ^ flying is, about to become as popular as motoring. For one thing, an aiv- j plane still needs a lot of room from which to take off and land in; it is ' not adapted to the use of the city g dweller. Parking space for airplanes a is not easily found. jr Nevertheless, young folk are prac- ?( ticing flying in increasing numbers and planes are being steadily im- J proved as to stability and durability in the air. Thousands more lives will u & be sacrificed before the safe airplane ^ is perfected, bul^it is safe to say that in another fifty years the air ? will have lost most of its danger. a Concrete In Writing the history of human ^ progress a thousand years from now 'e one of the important milestones which 9. will haVe to be recorded will be the 11 invention of Portland cement, in the P early 1800's. The use of concrete J1: consisting of Portland cement and . sand gravel or crushed stone is one ,! of the great advances made practically in our own time. It is still so " new that all of its possible applica- o: tior.s have not been realized. An improvement in concrete niak- " ing it at once lighter and more near- ? ly fireproof has just been developed- 11 Tests by Columbia University ex- J? ports proved that it resists a temper- d ature of 1,800 degrees and weighs J* less than a third of ordinary concrete, bulk for bulk. It is made by adding aluminum powder and soda " to the aggregate. The aluminum generates hydrogen gas and makes the oi concrete rise like bread, so that it la takes only a third as much to fill f< a given space, Two inches of the liq- b' uid mass poured for a floor, for ex- ir ample, will rise to nearly six inches ir thick, drying as it expands. aj Fireproof and heatproof homes will be regarded as necessities a hun- t( dred years hence. ti o r* . 5 i\est A ten-minute rest every two or It three hours is a better stimulus to h 4 continued efficiency than lopping off *1 an entire hour from the working day, cl the Women's Bureau of the U. S. ci department of Labor reports. o Tests of the recuperative power ti of the human machine have proved o ? that it takes four times as long for tl the muscles to rest when they have been worked to the endurance B limit as it does for them to regain their tone after working ihalf as long. In one large New York publish- X ing house there is a ten-minute rest 3 period at 10:30 in the morning and - ! another at 3 in the afternoon. E The same office closes down all C day Saturday from April to October, n Its record of production is higher than in any office with which its a work has been compared. <1 Mental workers as well as physi- t cal workers benefit by complete re- e luxation at frequent intervals. b WELFARE BOARD ENDORSES 1 CT "T** loron I* rtClC o* i?lir> To the People of '.Vatauga County: c Starting September 15th, the ( Health Department of the Stat i will conduct a tuberculosis clinic among c the school children in this county.

These stories, coupled! pis *ith the nmtterings of disgruntled j wij imates of the camp, have led to a I ne eneral belief that conditions exist- \ gu; ig there are horrible; however. Dr. j sig . 1?.
