waterproof Substitute for Leather

The extremely high price of leather
has been factor in producing new
substitute which is already being used
extensively in making workingmen's
gloves, and other articles and is prov
ing to be more durable than the split
leather used for that purpose, says an
article In Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine. Unlike leather, this substitute
does not harden after being wet, but
dries soft and pliable.

RED CROSS WORK
Electrical Machines Enable At.
Iantic Division to Turn Out
100000 Hospital Gar
mentS Each Week.

One hundred thousand garments are
being turned out each week by the At
lantic Division of the Red Cross as its
share in the nationwide allotment of
the hospital and refugee garments ask
ed for by the Government. This state
ment, authorized by Ethan Allen, Man
ager of the Division, was based upon
figures compiled at the Division Cut
ting Department which supplies cut
garments to seventy per cent of the
Chapters in the States of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
Using the most up-to-date electrical
equipment, the Cutting Department is
able to cut the materials for hospital
shirts, pajamas, mems underwear,
boys and girls clothing, gowns and
children's pinafores at the rate of TO-
900 yards every five and a half DAYS.
This means not only the cutting but
the assembling of the parts, the pack
ing and the shipping of the garments
to the Chapters where they are sewed
and made ready for wear 1t is esti-
mated that Chapters save from three
to seven cents on each of the garments
supplied through the Cutting Depart
ment
The garments are cut on requisition
from Chapters. Orders are often filled
in one day and rarely later than two
days. Bath robes, bed jackets, paja-
mas, bandaged-foot sock-these and
all other garments on the Red Cross
list are cut according to official pat
terms.

NEW WAR REVENUE
MEASURE is COMPLETED
War Profits to Net Nation $4,000, 1000
IL Per Cent Tax on All Incomes
Over $4,000.

Washington, Aug. 31.-In confer
ence which Chairman Kitchin and
other members of the house ways and
means committee had with Secretary
McAdOO practical agreement was
reached on vital sections Of the reve-
nue. bill. The measure, the largest tax
bill in the history of any nation, now
has been finished except for final read
ing and textual corrections.
1t was estimated by Representative
Kitchin that the bill, if enacted into
law, would bring into the treasury
more than 200,OO0,OO0, chiefly from
taxes upon those who have made
money from the war and without inn
posing consumption taxes on break
fast table necessities.
AS agreed to by the committee, the
war profits section, estimated to raise
$3,2OO,0O0,OO0, imposes an so per cent
war profit tax and provides for an al
tentative excess profit tax.
After determining that the difficult
ties administration would be very
abandon the plan for placing a great
er normal tax on unearned than
earned incomes. In the conference he
agreed that the normal tax on all in
comes should be u per cent.
This means that there will be a II
per cent normal tax on all incomes
over $4,000 and the tax on incomes
below that amount will be down to
the exemption figure of per cent.
The exemption in the bill is the same
as in the present law, $1,000 for single
and $4,000 for married persons.
Virtually all the taxes in the present
revenue laws are doubled, and in some
instances they are tripled. There are
no new taxes except a luxury tax pat
termed after the English and French
system and a tax on the users Of au-
tOmobiles. This tax, which is in the
form Of a federal license, based on
horse power, it is estimated will raise
$70,000,000. The automobile tax
ranges as follows:
Motorcycles, So; automobiles Or cleo
tries of % horse power Or less, $40 );
more than % horse power and not
more than 80 horse power, 500; more
than 80 horse power and not more
than 40 horse power, $50; more than
40 horse power, $50.

Air Leakage from Buildings

'The Effect of Air Leakage on Fuel Consunp-
ton" was discussed by the American Society of
Heating and Ventilatng Engineers at their Deem
Der meeting. Points of interest developed included
the following:
The average window OF door has free opening
around its sides directly connected with outdoors and
about twenty feet in length The width of this open
ING is usually such that it's total is about the
size of a brick. In other words, each window
door is equivalent to hole the size of a brick
shing1e directly outdoors. When there is wind,
this condition is not so Serious but when the wind
blows the effect is great.
Heretofore people have assumed that it
essary to thus protect the north side only, but
haustive tests have shown with wind from the
NORTH that Oh the leeward side or south side of the
house, suction created, thus causing outflow
of heat through the cracks in the windows and
responding heat loss, due to outflow loss of
air going out Air leakage, therefore, is due III
flow of cold air from the window pressure and out
flow on leeward side due to partial vacuum and air
expansion. Both have corresponding effect on the
loss of heat and this shows the fallacy of putting
storm sash on only part of the house.
Warm air expands i'll all directions and the ex-
pansion of warmed air in the building will keep out
most of the cold draughts until the wind rises above
six miles per hour. On the other hand, the wind
blowing around and over building causes suction
or partial vacuum the sheltered sides of the build
ing, and this suction pulls every open crack.
The inside air. warmed and expanded, is trying to
escape, just it would from hot air balloon and is
assisted by the suction action of the outside wind,
the result being that the heat loss the sheltered
side, window for window and door for door, will be
about 20 per cent greater than the loss on the ex-
posed side, due to the suction above mentioned.
Storm sash and doors on the entire house will prac-
tcally eliminate this loss.
