SHELL GAME. ON MTO
The -fast-firing crew of a L S. Army field piece popping away at Jails on .:).ttu Island keeps the
air,lnunition bear'er's busy passing up "refills." At. left the bearers are unpacking shells, while the
pile of empty shell cases in the foreground tells its own story of headaches for the Nips.
Have Yea Heard?
Two Scotsmen were discussing
the domestic. unhappiness of a
mutual friend. "Aye, aye," said
tine, "Jamie Tlnompson has a sair
time w,' that wife o' his."
"What else can ye expect?"
eaic the other scornfully. "The
puir ereature marit after coortin'
far on:y seven years. Man, he had
nae chance to ken the woman in
sic a short time. When I was
coorlir:' I coorted for 20 years."
An amused listener to this con-
versation ventured to ask if this
long courtship had ensured con-
nubial bliss, whereupon the old
Seeternen replied:
"I tell ye I coorted for 20 year
and :n that time 1 kent what
woman was, and so I didna
Mame"
Farmers "I've never seen
such a season. My Corn isn't
an inch high."
Neighbor: "An inch? Why
the sparrows have to kneel
clown to eat :nine."
A. little boy in school refused to
sew, thinking it beneath the dig-
nity of a 10 -year-old man.
"George Washington sewed,"
said the principal, "taking it for
granted that a soldier must; and
o s'o'ft consider yourself;: better
than George Waeltnigton?"
"1 don't know; time will tell,"
said the boy seriously,
Foreman: "Now, Murphy,
what about carrying some
bricks."
Murphy: "I ain't feelin'
well, guvnor. I'm tremblin'
all over."
Foreman: "Well, then, get
busy with the sieve."
A Chinese recruit being ex-
amined by an English officer was
asked his name,
"Sneeze, he replied,
But the "officer was unconvinc-
ed and aeked for an explanation.
"Me very intelligent," the
Chinese said. "Me translate into
your language ala name --- Ati
Shoe:"
"Soan.,o is one of those
fellows who has more money
than brains, is he not?" asked
Brown of his friend, Black,
"Yes; and he is not rich -
either," replied Black.
iv1 iatrate: "You're a danger
to pedestrians. You're not allow-
ed to drive for two years."
Defendant: "But, sir, my living
depends on it."
Magistrate: "So does theirs."
Mike: "I. haven't seen my
Uncle Pat for 10 years. Tell
me what he's been doing All
that time."
Ike: "Ten years."

Substitutes Found
For Manila Fiber
Rope May Be Made From
Jute, Cotton, Hemp, Nylon
Along with silk, camphor, rub-
ber, and other items, manila fiber,
best of rope -making- materials,
must be included in the list of
Japan -caused shortages.
Rope, moreover, is quite an im-
portant article. Without rope,
tugboats couldn't ply their trade;
merchant ships and war vessels
couldn't sail; rangers would have
to do without scaling nets, etc.
Perhaps next best on the list of
rope fibers is the sisal, ar. agave,
which may be obtained from
Africa. Another agave, henequen
(principally used in binder tv<ine),
is obtainable from 11,1exico and
Cuba. This sisal rope is only about
75 per cent. as strong, size for
size, as rope made from manila
fiber. Henequen rope has only
about 60 per cent, of the strength
of manila.
185,000 Acres In Hemp
Rope also may be made from
such fibers as jute, cotton, and
hemp, Hemp is a familiar rope
fiber. The old sailing vessels, be-
fore the introduction of manila to
this country in 1820, were hemp.
rope equipped. And hemp will
soon be a real addition to the
domestic rope fiber supply. This
spring 185,000 acres of Corn Belt
land are to be planted in hemp
for fiber, and 50,000 acres more
for seed. And in 1940 the entire
hemp acreage in the United States
was less than 2,000 acres,
Various other natural fibers are
being experimented with for cord-
age. Among these may be men-
tioned the yucca, scrub palmetto,
and such plants as caroti of Brazil,
fique of Colombia, and malva
blanch of Ceiba.
Nylon Too Costly
Not all rope fibers are obtained
from. plants. Rope spun from nlan«
made nylon fibers is proving in•
valuable for glider tow -ropes and
has been an important factor in
making Lakinpracticable
g the flying pick«
up of nlotorless craft. At present
the )natter of cost stands in the
way -of the general t.Tse of nylon
fibers for rope, but it is thought
that the cost may drop consider-
ably under. quantity »iroduotion,
Researcher's are also experie
inentilig with other substalleeS
from which rope can be made, and
viscose and t cetate rayon' fibers
show promise,
WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
WOOD OF GROWING TREES
CAN BE DYED
The staining and dyeing of
finished lumber is a process in
which, in most eases, the color
does not extend very deeply into
the body of the wood, writes
W. P. Keasbey in The Christian
Science Monitor, An experimenter,
however, claims to have developed
a means of coloring the wood of
living trees in such fashion that
when the treated trees later are
felled and sawed into lumber,
the wood thus obtained will be
uniformly and beautifully colored
from heart to bark.
The color thus introduced into
the wood is said to be practically
indelible, being resistant to the
bleaching action either of acid'
or of water.
The inventor of the process
maintains also that the use of dye
does not injure the tree,
The trees dyed experimentally
include small beech, birch, and
maple trees. The treatment in-
volves first, the boring of several
holes at the base of the trunk.
Next, tfie holes are fitted with
containers hung from the tree
branches and serving as reservoirs
for the dye.
The liquid flows through the
tubes by gravity into the holes in
the trunk, where it mingles with
the circulating sap of the tree.
The movement of the sap carries
the coloring matter (the composi-
tion of which is kept secret by the
inventor) to every part of the
tree. The time required to com-
plete the dyeing process is given
as two days for small trees and
four days -or more for larger ones,
By means of this dyeing system,
natural wood has been colored
lavender, blue; yellow, and or-
ange. Tests indicate that dye -
treated trees have harder wood
than untreated trees of the same
variety, which, for some wood-
working purposes, may be an ad-
vantage.
This new dyed wood has been
made into colored umbrella han-
dles, candlesticks, buttons, eta.
These products need no staining
or painting—only polishing.
