Determining the Strength
of Wood bV Its Densjtv

a comparatively simple method
Of estimating the strength proper
ties of timber from the density, or
specific gravity, is set forth in Bull
letfn 676 of the Department of Ag-
riculture "The relation of the
shrinlage and strength properties
of wood to it's specific gravity"
which has just been issued BY the
analysis of over 100000 tests on
wood of many species, the Forest
Products Laboratory Of the forest
service has definitely established
the relations between the specific
gravity of wood and it's strength
properties. Equations for these re-
lations have been worked out and
have been reduced to such simple
form that they may be solved by
arithmetic and without the use of
higher mathematics.
In selecting timber for any given
purpose, in comparing various spe-
cies of wood, in estimating the
properties of any particular wood,
the equations should be found use
full. To supplement the equations in
determining in what way a species
is exceptional and to what use it
is best adapted, there is a tabula-
ton showing the variation from
the average equation of each prop
erty of the various species tested.
This variation from the average
equation is often what determines
the usefulness of a species for a

Husbands Lap No
Place for a Wife

Sitting on your husbands lap may
be all right in the privacy of the
home, but when a wife attempts to
view a theatrical performance from
that perch she is guilty of a viola
ton of the fire rules. This formed
one of the charges on which Albert
Gutterman, assistant manager of
Loew's, Delaney Street Theater,
New York City, caused the arrest
of Samuel Perlman and his wife,
Esther, of No. lap Madison ave-
nue., on Saturday night.
They were arraigned in Essex
Market court on a charge of disor-
derby conduct.
According to the affidavit of the
theater manager, Perlman attempted
to save a seat for his wife during
the scramble between performances
When a man seized the seat just
before Mrs. Perlman got there there
was protest and Mrs. Perlman fl
nally decided to sic on her husbands

i GENERAL WIS
VISITS WOUNDED
OLD HICKORY BOYS

The so-called Hindenburg line was
broken again Sunday afternoon at
Fort Mcpherson when Major General
Edward Mann Lewis and about fifty
at the fort recovering from wounds
received in France, got together In
Y. M. c. A hut, Number g. for a
little informal reception and reunion.
Chaplain A. L. Foster. also of that.
famous division and also wounded
in France, announced that tie for
mer commander of the Thirtieth,
who IS now commanding Camp Cor
don, would be at the fort Sunday al
ternoon to see his old zen there.
The call brought out practically eVi
cry man in the hospital who had
to the hut. They hobbled there on
their crutches and tey beloved for
attendants to wheel them, and those
who couldn't get out Of bed had 10
be assured that the general would
drop in on them while he was out at
the fort before they would be con-
tented. The old spirit of Bellecourt
was aroused again and if there, was
going to be a reunion going on they
didn't want to miss it,
Talks to Each Man
General Lewis shook hands and
had a short little talk with every
man in the hut. 1t was most infoE-
NAL. Nothing like an inspection that
a division general usually holds,
where you stand at rigid attention
for the Lord knows how long and
sweat blood wondering If all the
buttons on your blouse are intact
and buttons on all blouses as buttons
should be. ...,.
And the men enjoyed it. They
swapped tales with the man who
directed their division when it won
undying fame at Bellecourt on Sep
TENDER 20, 1919. The general was
anxious to know all about every man"
there, where, when and how he was
wounded and how he was getting
along. He moved about the small
| group with a smile and a word OF
| cheer for each one.
General Lewis enjoys an envlaole
reputation among the men OF his Tor
| er division. He won their esteem by
| his admirable handling of them IN
! France and that he continues. to hold
| it was fully shown Sunday afternoon
by the handful of men who gathered
! together at the fort to greet him. And
| the general has the greatest respect
| for the national guardsmen or the
| Carolinas and Tennessee, and 1t is
