Only leprosarium in the U. S.,
Carville, near New Orleans, has
sheltered' 1,200 patients `since the
first'. inmates . were carried. to its
damp slave huts one dark night in
1894. Today, patients` live in 45
wooden houses arranged around a
quadrangle and linked by roofed
plank platforms. These,cottages
will be replaced by two-story fire-
proof houses. Construction workers
started on a recreation building.
For the rebuelding: of Carville, the
TT. S. Public Health service last year
appropriated $4,100,000.
So smooth and peaceful is life at

plish, corrugated, lion -like faces
stroll in the sunshine or pick fruit
from the heavy fig trees; others with
faces eaten away into white, feature-
less masks slap through the corri-
dors in their bedroom slippers. Men -
with ulcerated' feet pedal bicycles
up and down the platforms, some-
times waving a bandaged, fingerless

at the recreation room to play
poker. On fair days some of the pa-
tients play golf,' tennis or base-

men -spend most of their time sew-

Few lepers ever try- to escape.

plagued by hysterical women who
drive up to the :White plantation

Paper Makes Greatest
Strides in Packaging
Up to- now paper has made its
greatest strides in the packaging of
foods. Frozen foods come wrapped
and boxed in paper almost exclu-
sively. Splint berry and vegetable
boxes are being displaced by paper.
A can manufacturer is now experi-
menting with a paper container for
cooked fruit and vegetables. Anoth-
er can company is trying out a beer
can of reinforced molded paper.
A very recent development is a
paper bag lined with a transparent
rubber derivative to replace vacu-
um -pack cans for coffee, and before
being sealed the air is displaced
with some such inert gas as carbon
dioxide. Coffee in these bags is
said to be marketable after it has
been on the shelf from 60 to 70 days.
Not only does the paper bag cost
less, but it also requires less space
and weighs one-third of an ounce
compared to 63'2 ounces for a can,

Weather -Stripped Homes
"Drafts and uneven temperature
in the house are the direct causes
of many ailments. A house that is
not weatherstripped,- causes drafts
and renders the home hard to heat,
necessitating refueling. many times
during each 24 hours. The average
window or door frame has enough
draft inducting 'crack' to equal air
entry space the size of an average
brick."
- If you have never made an in-
vestigation, just try blowing the
smoke from a cigar against your
window and watch the smoke as it
is driven down to the floor, then
try the same thing on a window that
has been weather stripped. Aside
fromthe extra comfort, there is no
soot, dirt or dust .blown into the

Cellophane From Lamb
Although most of the animals.
slaughtered at packing houses yield
similar products, each has several
attributes not possessed by the
others. The jaws and skulls of
lambs, for instance, are used • in the
preparation of glycerine. Lamb's
wool is graded .and the clean fleece
turned into blankets,.surgical dress-
ings, etc. Lanolin, separated 'from
the fleece, is employed in 'cosmetics,
while lamb's pelts are in demand
not only for gloves and chamois
leather, . but also for college diplo-
mas,• novelties and •,the sweat bands
of hats.
Inedible lamb fats are converted'
into glycerine which finally reaches
us in anti -freeze and cellophane.
