PLASTICS . . . better homes
How would you like to live in a
house where you could throw
bricks at the windows and they
would bounce back? That is al
ready possible, but even more
wonderful things are being done
with the new kinds of materials
which science calls "plastics."
The discovery that chemical
compounds made from such unre
lated things as cellalose, corn oil
and carbolic acid can be moulded
into solids which take the place
of metal, glass, wood and stone is
the latest step in Man's conquest
of Nature. Technicians in the
plastic industries promise us
es built better and cheaper, out of
such raw materials as sawdust,
corncobs and cotton waste, and
are already making their prom
ises good.
The transparent sheet which
makes your car's windshield shat
terproof is a plastic product. Now
they are beginning to make cam
era lenses of the same type of
transparent plastics. Some day
we may roof over our city streets
with transparent arches of plas
tic glass!

MEAT we import
Americans eat more meat than
any other people in the world.
The American family which does
not have a meat meal at least
once a day is a rarity. In most
European countries the families
which have meat to eat more
than once a week are in the mi
nority.
Half of our farm lands and
more than half of the farm pop
ulation are engaged in the pro
duction of meat. Still, we are im-

One of the things which make
it difficult to generalize about
farm conditions is that there are
so many different kinds of farm
ing. What is true of the wheat
farmer or the cotton grower is not
necessarily true of the livestock
and poultry farmers. The only
agricultural generalization which
stands up at all times is that the
"family farmer" who produces his
own family's food is not in dan
ger of starvation, even if he does
n't take in much cash.

PIE for breakfast
Up in Vermcnt they are be
moaning the decline of the an
cient Yankee custom of eating pie
for breakfast. Middlebury College
is starting a movement to restore
the practice of starting the day
with pie and coffee.
I am all for that. In my New
England boyhood we always had
pie for breakfast. Everybody did.
I don't know where the idea
started that it was unhealthful. I
don't believe it. Any kind of pie is
good for breakfast —"open-faced,
cross-barred or kivered" 'as my
grandmother used to classify pies.
But on the whole, the best stand
by is apple pie. For one thing, you
can make it at all seasons, now
that canned apples are available
everywhere. Apple pie for break
fast 365 days in the year never
hurt anybody.
A good apple pie is almost a
completely balanced meal in it
self. It has the proper propor
tions of fats, starches, fruit acids,
sugar and all the rest of the vita
mins and proteins to sustain life
indefinitely. Let's all eat more of
it for breakfast!

NEWSPRINT . .' in the South
I saw a Savannah newspaper
the other day printed on news
print made from southern pine
wood. "Newsprint" is the trade
term for white paper of the kind
this newspaper is printed on. All
newsprint is made of wood pulp,
but up to now, the only kinds of
wood which have been used for
newsprint are northern spruce,
hemlock and fir. The result Is
that? the newspapers of America
have become dependent on for
eign countries, mainly Canada for
their white paper. We've cut off
most of our own pulp wood,
j The discovery by Dr. Charles H.
'Herty of a process of making
newsprint from southern pine is
I the beginning of an economic rev
j olution. Pine can be used when it
is only seven years old; spruce is
not big enough to cut until it is
thirty. On millions of acres of
southern land, slash pine grows

like weeds, it can be cut for pulp

pendent on Canada for an essen

The first commercial paper mill
to make newsprint from southern
pine is now being built. It's a
start toward a new prosperity for
the South. *

WORK .... and be happy
The lcnger I live the plainer it
seems to me that there is only
one secure way of living, and that
is by individual hard work. But it
is a mistake to imagine that one
cannot work hard and be happy
at the same time.
One of the most inspiring
things I have read recently was a
report by Rose Lena Anderson of
Clackamas, Oregon. Rose is the
national champion 4-H Holstein
Club girli for 1936. In her report
of her farm work, she wrote:
"One year at our county fair I
entered the farmerette contest. I
had to do four household tasks —
make a bed, darn a sock, bake a
cake and set a table. Also I had
to do four farm chores in front of
the grandstand—milk a cow, har
ness and drive a team, husk corn
and pitch hay. I won $lO, the
easiest money I ever made."
How many young women would
call that "easy" money? Rose, at
least, has not been led astray by
the false doctrine that "only saps
work."

whereas Mr. Fulp did all his
standing on only one foot.
Bat let it be 9aid that neith
er Mr. Fulp or Mr. Jones
should be belittled for
their showing against Green
leaf, for the latter proved that
he could do everything with a
billiard ball but give it a shave
and haircut. Doing a number
of trick shots, the champion
amazed his audience with the
ease with which he made the
cue ball roll thither and yon,
dropping balls in specified
pockets.
Greenleaf, asked about his
success as a billiard player,
advised plenty of practice
against better players. Thirty
seven years of age, he began
his billiards career at the age
of seven and played in his first
world's championship when he
was 16.
He won his first world's
championship at the age of
19. Since that date he has won
the title 13 times and finish
ed second twice. He retained
his crown last year in New
York and will play again at
the Broadwnod Hotel, at Phil
adelphia, October 25.
Asked as to his ability to
master fancy shots, he stated
that "a thousand players
have mastered the trick shots
of the game but I have tried
to prove the best with a few
and have mastered thesel"
His best shots, all of which he
demonstrated here, are the
jump into a rack shot, over
and under the bridge, and
the wing shots.
