Christian Science Monitor suggest
asking any pair of 'Baltifnore

horses has long' tested the ingen-

They have always built 'their long

know they are using ..(for the third
season) long-ravelings of hemp
cord hung out by bird lovers. And
they pay for them generously with

British Find Many
Uses For Rubble
A score of rubble' heaps, some
of theni higher than the neighbors
ing buildings, now dot London.
They, are the remains ' of 'bombed
buildings, cleared away and care-
fully sorted. Every' ounce'is vain -
able.' There 'are;three categories Of
wreckage material: wood and me-
tal which are salvaged to be used
again where possible; rubble, which
is, valuable hard core for con-
structional work; and debris, the
finer grained material and dust,
some of which is being used just
now . toraise the level of a lake
in Kent, and for filling in marshes.
The rubble. is reserved for work
of national importance. It was used
'in making the Mulberry harbors
for. the invasion of Normandy:
When the defences of Loddon had
to be shifted to meet, the menace
of flying bombs, morethan a hund-
red thousand tons of the rubble
was carted away in trucks to make
the foundations for the new gun -
sites. '
Rubble makes the best of all,
bases for runways or aero -drowses,
and much of it has been taken for
this purpose. And when Britain's
new housing projects are laid out,
the roadways will largely be laid
on these scraps of old London, "
