Zurich Herald, 1942-10-08, Page 6WHAT SCIENCE -
IS DOING
PLYWOOD
Plywood has been on the market
some time but only now is ready
to go places, Laurence Stern
writes in the Magazine of Wall
Street. It's just two sheets of
wood glued together, with the
grain of one running apposite
to the grain of the other. Up to
that point, it was just modified
lumber. Chief merit: it wouldn't
pull or warp and had much great-
er structural strength than lumber
of equal thickness. Disadvantages
could be used only for interiors,
as the glue would not stand up
under the weather.
Today's plywood will "stay put"
in any weather because a synthetic
resin has replaced glue as the
binder. But what will really car-
ry this "lumber sandwich" to town
is development of a very recent
process by which, under steam in
a pressure mold, plywood is
"cooked" into any curved form
desired and at the same time its
strength and durability are huge-
ly increased.
Thus transformed, its possible
practical uses—many of them di-
rectly competitive with metals—
are almost limitless. It's light-
weight, actually stronger than
most metals of similar thickness,
so dense that you would dull the
edge of an • axe trying to crack
it, non -corrosive, waterproof, al-
most fireproof, non-conductive of
heat and cold, it won't splinter,
it does not "fatigue" under con-
stant vibration as does metal, and
it won't soften or anneal in high
ranges of temperatu4e.
In short, here is a brand new
answer to a designer's dream —
for anything from a bathtub to a
bus body, from a speed boat to a
typewriter frame, from a refrig-
erator cabinet to the fuselage
and wings of an airplane.

The United States War and
Navy Departments refused to de-
liver "war ballots" to New York

"would manifestly interfere with
the war effort."
The War Ballot Commission an-
nounced receipt of similar letters
from War Secretary Henry L.
Stimson and the Navy Department .

that military authorities transport

Modern Etiquette
1. Should a person avoid using
Slang in conversation?
2. Isn't it all right to send out
handwritten wedding invitations?
3. When a single man is in-
vited for dinner to the home of
married friends, should he take
the hostess a box of candy or
flowers?
4. When a woman is standing
talking with a man and drops
some article, should she say, "I'lf
get it"?
5. When a hostess wishes to
give a cocktail party a..d has no
maid, how should she proceed?
6. When passing a salt or a
pepper shaker should one place it
on the table or hand it directly
to the person who asked for it?
Answers
1. Yes. One should use as good
English as he is capable. The
English language contains a
larger vocabulary than any other
language in existence, and it is
really unnecessary to intersperse
every sentence with some slang
expression. 2. Yes. Informal
notes, written on one's personal
stationery, are all right, but en-
graved invitations and announce-
ments are in better form. 3. This
is a thoughtful thing .to do, par-
ticularly if the man is not in a
position to return the invitation.
4. No. She should allow the man
to pick it up for her. 5. She may
ask one of the men guests to help
her make the cocktails, or she
may have all the necessary things
on a tray or table, and have each
guest mix his own. 6. It is less
awkward to put it down . on the
table and let the person pick it
up, than to hand it directly to
him.
Ceiling Prices
Put On Honey
Maximum wholesale and retail
selling prices for extracted honey
and for pasteurized and granu-
lated honey have been fixed in an
order issued by the Wartime
Prices and Trade Board's Foods
Administration.
As in the case of the recent
order setting maximum prices on
eggs, the primary object of this
order is to maintain uniformity
of supplies in all sections of the
Dominion, the board said in a
statement.
It emphasized that maximum
prices have been established and
that normal fluctuations below
this level are expected to con-
tinue.
The order provides that the
price of pasteurized granulated
honey may exceed that specified
for extracted honey, by 13 cents
a pound.
The retailer's maximum mark-
up is limited to 20 per cent. of
his selling price or three cents a
pound whichever is lower.
The production of light honey
was down in Eastern Canada this
year but in Western Canada the
reduction was less pronounced.
The use of light honey for in-
dustrial purposes has been re-
stricted by a previous order.,

HOW CAN 1?
Q. How can I facilitate the
beating of egg whites?
A. Add a pinch of cream of
tartar before starting to beat the
whites. The eggs will froth quick-
ly
uickly and will hold their shape longer.
Q. How can I avoid waste when
a cake of soap is so thin that it
is about to break?
A. Place it on a new cake, put
them in 'warm water and press
together. Lay aside, and when
cold there will be one cake of soap
instead of two, and no waste.
Q. How can -I improve the ap-
pearance of a gilt picture frame?
A. After washing the gilt
frame, paint it with the white of
an egg, using a soft camel's hair
brush, and applying the coat even-
ly and smoothly.
Q. How can I keep the corks
in the bottoms of salt shakers.
firm?
A. If the corks come out of the
bottoms of the salt and pepper
shakers, fill the shakers and then
place a strip of adhesive tape over
the cork. The corks will be kept
firm until time to refill.
Q. How can I get relief from
burns and scalds?
A. Common baking soda, either
wet or dry, bound on a burn or
• scald immediately, will usually
give instant relief. This is caused
by excluding the air from the
wound.
Capt. Gilhooly Tells
Of- Irish Calm
The following story was brought
back from overseas by Captain
Joseph P. Gilhooly, well-known
Ottawa member of the Royal
Canadian Army Medical Corps.
The locale of the, story, which
Captain Gilhooly swore was true,
was the living room of a com-
fortable Belfast home where the
Ottawa doctor was visiting
friends.
The raid had reached a peak of
fury . . . bombs were crumpling
down on all sides . . . and the.
Luftwaffe with no opposition was
machine-gunning the house -tops.
The hostess of the house had
more than a usual amount of tea
handy and was passing around the
brew.
"Do have another cup,. Mary,"
she called to the maid over the
din of bomb bursts, machine gun
chatter and the crash of rubble.
"Oh, no, thank you, Mum. I'rn
sure it would keep me awake if I
had two cups," replied Mary ,with
a curtsy.
DUNKED BOBBY
Have You Heard?
A certain Judge, filmed for his
unruffled behavior in any crisis,
once had the misfortune to fall
down the stairs, He fell from the
very top to the very bottom—
bouncing on each stair --and fin-
ished by rolling right across the
corridor.
One of his servants hearing the
disaster, rushed up to help.
"I hope your Honor isn't hurt?"
asked the elan anxiously.
"No," replied the Judge, with
a wry simile, "it's not my honor
that is hurt."
Wife (at breakfast)— I
want to do some shopping to-
day, George, if the weather
is favorable. What does the
paper forecast say?
Husband (consulting his pa-
per)— Rain, hail, sleet, thun-
der, lighting, snow, and fierce
winds.
The meaning of the word "col-
lision" was being explained by
the teacher of the class of smell
boys and girls.
"A collision," she said, "is when
two things coins together un-
expectedly."
Immediately a small boy jump-
ed up and said: "Please teacher,
we've had a collision at our
house."
"Whatever do you mean?"
"Well mother just had twins."
"At 20 you left the coun-
try and carne to the city. And
for twenty-five years you've
been working very hard.
What for?"
"To get money to live in
the country."
A person has to be a contor-
tionist to get along these days.
First of all he's got to keep his
back to the wall and his ear to
the ground. He's expected to
put his shoulder to the wheel, his
nose to the grindstone, keep a
level head and both feet on the
earth. And at the same time look
for the silver lining with his head
in the clouds.
' "You'd better go home,
George; your wife has pre-
sented you with a rebate off
your income tax."
Washington Provides
Quarters For War
Workers
Washington's newest housing
wrinkle to provide quarters for
thousands corning here for war
work will be a floating hotel which
its owner says served Floridians
0. and the tourist trade around Fort
Lauderdale for seven years.
H. C. Buckley, head of the com-
pany owning the hotel, which he
described as a craft with five
decks, three of them containing 75
rooms 15 by 15 feet, said it would
be moored at one of the piers on
Maine Avenue, Southwest, within
two weeks to hang out a rooms -
for -rent sign.
The craft now is being painted
at Gunston Cove, down the Poto-
mac, Mr. Buckley said. The top
deck is a sundeck and the lower
deck has a dining room, dance
floor, etc., while each of the rooms
on the other three decks have tele-
phones, running water and other
conveniences.
