A Paper :Dress..?
Disposablepaper garments for
the use of research workers in
atomic laboratories were devel-
QbPeraltly som- e

these are just the first step into
a new field. The next will lie
paper dresses, slips, bathing
snits, rain capes, and who knows
what else for everybody to wear.
Many plant workers, in mills
are already wearing paperwork
clothes and sonic of the girls in
the offices enjoy wearing paper
dresses and skirts. They are
either printed or painted in in-
teresting designs and have a
crispness which does net wilt
with wearing.
The paper material is„ -non-
woven, formed by laminating
several piles pf high wet-strength
cellulose wadding to each side
of a web of crosslaid threads of
rayon, nylon, or glass, held to-
gether by an adhesive. In making
this wadding, some of -,the im-
portant speeial features are, built
in, such as resistance to wrink-
ling, scuffing, linting, and also
desirable draping" qualities.
The word"wadding" doesn't
strike a high-fashion note, but
whereas Kimberly-Clark is now '"
devoting itself chiefly to pro-
viding this paper "fabric" for
special laboratory uses, it has an
seiybeidiotnie . fan more glamorous pos-
About the only "paper" char-
acteristic of this product is that
it cuts like paper. But it sews
like Oath. However, it needn't
be sewed, but can be glued to-
gether or fastened by a heat-
sealing process. Just imagine
cutting Out anew dress like one
for a paper doll, pressing the
seams together with a hot iron,
painting on a few posies and
dancing off to a party in it, But
so far paper is not available in
the yard-goods section of de-
partment stores.
The garments produced in the
iesearch laboratories are not
only water-resistant but also
burn-resistant, and some can be
washed and reused a time or
two. The cost of such a new
gown would probably be about
$4. And think what a variety
one could have!
The idea stirs the imagination.
Want a new dress? Chuck the
old one in the wastebasket and
get out the scissors and the iron.
There'll be nothing to it — not
even much expense.
This-is all in the realm of pos-
sibility but not of availability—
anyway not yet.
EASY WINNER
"We had a kind of drinking
competition at the club last
night, dear."
"So I gathered. Who came
second?!'
The beatitudes form the
opening part of our Lord's' Ser-
mon on the 'Mount, He gave this
message in the early part of his
ministry, It might be called his
manifesto.
'Blessed' means 'happy,' Billy
Graham's -book of sermons on
these `beatitudes is well called,
• The Secret of .Happiness,
Everyone wants happiness
this life but compairatively few
are finding it, Isaiah asked,
"Wherefore do yp Spend money
for that, which vis not bread?
and your 'labour for that which
satisfieth not?" Millions of dal ,
lars are -spent each' month in
the vaira.pursuit of. happiness.
Actually, if .,we,; make happiness
the object and goal of our life
we will miss it. But if we
turn from our sins and let Jesus
Christ be Lord and Saviour of
our life and follow On to lave
and serve .Him we shall ex-
perience continual happiness.
That does not mean that life
will always be smooth sailing.
But we shall know that .we are
safe with. Christ on board. We
will have zest for climbing rug-
ged hills when our face is al-
ways turned Godward. We shall
be happy even when we are re-
viled and persecuted. A holy
contentment will pervade our
lives; not the contentment of
self-satisfaction or stagnation
but that which is born of
sturdy faith and a sure con-
fidence that God is leading and
the end will be glorious.
The world's tyrants who
strutted for a time didn't real-
ize that to be humble, meek
and merciful was the way of
happiness. If they had they
would have been peacemakers
instead of war mongers. They
would have sought righteous-
ness and a pure heart.
The greatest riches and hap-
piness is available to all. Let us
read the Sermon on the Mount,
Matthew 5-7. Before we can live
this life we must be born of
the Spirit of God. With a new
heart we 'will have happiness
as we delight to walk in God's
way.
Terror' Climb
Turned Man, OLd
Vayed by the bitter, early
Xtierning wind, two men lay
huddled on the upper slopes of
26,620-foot Nanga Parbat, the
Himalayan "mtnintain of terror,"
which had already claimed the
lives of thirty-one would-be
conquerors,
Herman Buhl, an Austrian
mountaineer, nudged his reluc-
tant fellow-climber, Otto Kemp-
ter.
"Otto" Buhl pleaded, "haven't
you got any will-power? To-day
of all days—when everything's
.set—and we're going for the
aurnmit?"-
A mumble from the sleeping-,
bagt,,"Net me—I ain't got none,"
So Buhl shouldered, his pack
and gear and set off alone,
thinking Otto would catch up
with him latennIt was another
;four miles of, atruggliag osner
• nnknown snow. and ice ridges
to the tOp, and with no oxygen
'to help.
Up, up he trudged until' he.
Carrie to -a huge' and* wall' the
size of a block of buildings, a
colossal cornice structure. Here,
in 1937, an expedition had .ended
inaa shattering,tragedy when an
ice avalanche buried Cart Wien
and his comrades; A sense of
desolation sWept, over Buhl. But
he must tnet think of death or
horror, up here alone.
As the sun grew unberably
hot it parched his body, lay on
him like a ton load. He found
it terribly difficult to make pro-
gress, breathed five times to
each step he took, sat down and
tried to eat, but couldn't swal-
low, so forced' his way on and
un over the rim of the summit
plateau.
1311111, thoroughly exhausted,
now lay in the snow face down
on his rucksack, panting. This
looked like the end. Far off he
could See a dot—Otto. How
gladly he would have had him
with him now! But the dot didn't
move. Otto seemed to have
given up.. Buhl couldn't wait.
He must go on alone.
lila description of the rest of
the climb in his dramatic book,
"Nanga P a r b a t Pilgrimage"
translated by Hugh Merrick, is
one of the finest epics of endur-
ance ever penned. At 25,658
feet, in the gap between the
subsidiary and main summits,
he collapsed on the snow, again
exhausted. Hunger racked him,
thirst tortured him. He swal-
lowed two energizinz tablets to
boost his failing powers.
On his feet again, he clam-
bered along an enorrnouse chain
of cornices, then had to face a
sharp rock-ridge of 'saw-toothed
*crags, dominated by towers of
snow and ice-covered rock. And
17,000 below him was the awe-
some Rupal Nullah, a deep rav-
ine. But it hardly affected him,
so anathetic had he become.
Whenever he looked at the
summit ahead it looked no near-
he decided to ,filx eyes
on „sense point only a few yards
. the next ledge, next
spike on the ridge, and no far-
ther ahead until he got there.
That way he kept going,
Nearing the top at last, he
crossed some gullies and short
patches of snow, stumbling over
boulders to the foot of the sum-
mit structure,
The highest thing he could see
was a projecting rock. 1-low far
now? Had he the strength? He
could no longer stand upright,
he was a wreck. Slowly he craw-
led forward on all fours, nearer
the rocky spur, and to his joy
• and relief saw nothing but a
little crest, a short snow slope,
He was on the summit, Every-
thing fell away on all sides, He
was the first human being to
get there. It was 7 p.m. It had
taken him seventeen hours since
leaving Otto.
"But '1 felt no wave of over-
mastering joy, no wish' to shout,
aloud, no sense of- victorous ex-
altation . . I was absolutely
all in. Utterly worn out, I fell
on the snow and stuck my ice-
axe upright on the hard-beaten
snow ... took the Tyrolese pen-
nant out of my anorak and tied
itato the shaft „ , "
Then he took photographs for
documentary evidence. The sky
was cloudless, but immediately
the sun ;vent down behind a
mountain range the cold beeeine
penetrating.
After about half an hour he
took a last look back, turned,
and began the descent.
But his terrific ordeal was by
no means over. On the way down
he was startled to feel something
loose and wobbly on his left
foot, and saw the strap-fasten-,
ing of his crampon— spiked
climbing aid—disappear below
him. Then the crampon came
off the boot.. He grabbed it
just in time, then stood on one
leg, with two ski-sticks as his
only, support. He tried to scrape
a shallow dent in the frozen,
snow with the points of the
sticks to give his smooth boot
sole a 'moment's hold while he
moved the cramponed foot a
farther on. In this way he man-
aged somehow to balance from
one snow-rib to another.
As- darkness came down he
searched frantically for a perch,
found a stance with just room
for both feet though too small
to permit sitting, and realized
that he would have to spend the
night in that perilous position
standing up. He put on every-
thing he had, his woolly well
over his ears, his balaclava well
down over his head, and two
pairs of gloves. He had the
slanting rock face as back-rest.
"I was amazingly relaxed," he
says. "I almost faced that night
at 26,000 feet with complete
equanimity."
Buhl swallowed another drug
to stimulate circulation and
protect hiM against, frostbite.
His left hand clutched the pre-
cious ski-sticks, his right a
solitary hold. Utter weariness
overcame him, his head kept
falling forwards, his eyelids felt
like lead, he could hardly stay
upright, he dozed off, woke with-
a start .
The intense cold grew more
unbearable. He felt it on his
face, hands, feet, body. His
feet went dead. The night drag-
ged on; it was like eternity. At
last . . . dawn.
"During those hours of ex-
treme tension I had an extra- •
ordinary feeling that I was not
alone. I had a partner with me,
looking after me, ." he says.
Moving into a gully, he removed
his gloves, couldn't find them.
"Have you seen my gloves?".
he asked his ghostly companion,
and heard quite clearly the ans-
wer: "You've lost them." When,
after forty-one hours' lone or-
deal, he at last regained hit team
he was a drawn, haggard, old
man — at twenty-nine — as a
photograph of him taken' by a
colleague shows only too clearly.

Penguin Proves
Expentive Pet
When schoolboy Errol Berry
found an injured penguin ly-
ing weak and gasping on a quay
of Cape Town docks, he took
him home and bathed the deep
red wounds in the bird's white
waistcoat.
Three days later Errol 'had to
raid his rnoneybox to pay for
fish for his Antarctic house
guest. The bird began gobbling
up 6 lb. per day, scorning salt
cod and insisting on fresh fish.
And when Errol's parents, re-
fused to pay for further ra-
tions, the boy sadly took the
penguin and set -him free.
The bird ,swam -around, fish-
ing voraciously,.But when he
had finished his meal he swam

An attractive young woman
lay in a ,plaster cast in a south
of England hospital trying des-
perately not to sneeze, She had
been told by doctors that if she
did so, she might become a
cripple for life.
Two years earlier she had in-
jured her spine by sneezing
while reaching up to feed her
pet, eanary. As a result, she
underwent an operation in
which a piece of bone from her
leg was grafted on to her spine.
"If you avoid sneezing, which -
might cause a fresh injury, you
may be walking again soon,"
doctors told her,
Somehow she managed to
stifle her sneezes. And to-day
she is fit and well again, and
walking *normally. Sneezing is
now in season and once more the
sneeze sleuths — those medieal
experts who study our a-tishoos
— are investigating its causes
and effects. Some doctors actua
ally hold the theory that
sneezes are often just symptoms
of frustrated love!
They quote the case of the
twenty-nine-year-old spinster
Who, started taking music les-
sons from a man. Soon after-
wards she began to have bad
attacks of sneezing.
"She was suffering frorn
conflict between her desire to
marry him and her dependence
on her mother," they' reported.
Another susceptible young
woman would always sneeze
violently after saying good-
night to her boy friend, Such
sneezing attacks have become
so common that doctors recog-
nize a complaint which has
been called "honeymoon cold."
The costliest sneeze on rec-
ord was that of a banknote en-
graver. He had worked for
three months on a design for e
new note for a South Ameri-
can republic and had practical-
ly finished when he sneezed. Se
he started all over again.
Sneezing was taboo in the
court of King Narathihapate, of
Warne, but one day, just as
court festivities were beginning,
a lovely new lady in waiting
Was so overcome by a desire
to sneeze that she ran to a great
ornamental jar and thrust her
face into its wide mouth.
Instead of stifling the sneeze
the hollow -jar made it a hun-
dred times louder. The nobility
of Burma quaked in.their shoes,
well knowing the king's usper-
stitious hatred of sneezing in
his presence. "Cut off her head!"
the king commanded.
But Queen Saw at once
pointed out • too the king that one
of his titles was "Master of the
Ninety-Six Diseases," adding:
"If you are really master of
them You are immune from
common ills like colds and
sneezes, and it seems that you
expect this girl also to be im-
mune from sneezing. By sent-
encing her to death you are
merely flattering her."
The king was impressed. "I
pardon her for sneezing," he
said.
An American murderer once
went to the electric chair be-
cause he sneezed. He was drink-
ing coffee in a New York res-
taurant when he gave a loud
sneeze and the cup dropped
from his hand and broke,
The noise attracted the atten-
tion of a detective who was
eating ,at a near-by table. He
immediately recognized the
sneezer as a long-sought mut':
Beret and arrested him.
A sneeze brought happiness
to the composer Carl Weber.
He was on his way to the re-
hearsal of one of his operas
when a woman sneezed behind
him.
Turning, doffing his hat and
bowing with mock courtesy, he
said: "Madame, you have a cold,
but that's no reason why you
should spread the illness by
sneezing over me, Take my
handkerchief, I beg of you!"
Then he realized hp was ad-
dressing one of the loveliest
girls he had ever seen. She
scorned his offer, declaring:
"You are no gentleman."
To his surprise he met her
again half an hour later at the
rehearsal were he found she
was a newly-engaged singer,
'Caroline Brandt, with a love-
ly Soprano voice.
He apologized tot his rude-
nets in the street, but She snub-
bed hint But Weber never fora.
got the girl who had sneezed.
Later he offered her an en-
gagement in a new opera. She
acceptasl forgave him for the
insult he had offered her in
F'rankf'urt, and they were mar-;
rigid,
