Sheets
To determine why cotton fabrics
wear out, the U. S. Bureau of Home
Economics has made a laboratory
test of 400 sheets discarded by a
Washington hotel.
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.

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

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

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

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.
The Welfare Board takes this metho I t
of commending the clinic to the pec- e
pie. We believe it to be the means {
to save much suffering and many s
lives. We ask the people to co-operate j
with those in charge. The Civitans
of Hoone and Blowing Bock, and ,
other organizations have been the ,
k means of bringing this help to us.

{ev<
Far the past several weeks State] obi

L'veral gruesome stories depicting, pis

In the opinion of l)r. Hagaman,
