consists merely in laying alternately
as many sheets of thin veneer and
sheets of this glue tissue MS may be
required to build up the panel desired.
These sheets are then pressed in
steam-heated press. The result is an
extremely thin panel in which the
moisture content has been changed not
more than l or . per cent. This sim
pie method eliminates the troubles re-
sulting from the use of wet glue.
and makes the handling of the thin
material an easy matter.
The extremely thin pIywood secured
in this manner and tested on alrplane
wings built especially for the purpose
proved surprisingly strong. 1t was
found that 1t gave between 6 and s
per cent added lifting power over the
linen ordinarily used. by reason of the
fact that the flap of the cloth is
entirely eliminated. Weight for
weight. its strength proved to be APP
proximately the same, and it is quite
likely that in the future all nOn-metal
wings may be covered with this ma
terial.
When blywood was first thought of
in connection with nirplanes. an ap-
parently insurmountable difficulty pre-
sented itself machine that had to
he out in all kinds of weather and
spend much of its time in dense fog
and in thick clouds must not be held
together anywhere by glue that wafer
would dissolve. To overcome this diff
ficulty two new Clues were evolved by
the laboratory experts; one made
from the blood of animals and one
derived from casein-Obtained from
milk Panels were glued together
with these and tested In boiling water
for eight hours. AT the expiration of
this time none of the pieces showed
any separation of the plies. Soaking
in cold water for ten days gave the
same results. Finally, tests with a
shearing machine. which applied force
In such manner as to push one ply
from another, were made. and 1t was
demonstrated that pressure of from
two hundred and fifty 10 seven hun
dred pounds to the square inch of
glue surface was required to separate
the layers, so strong were the new
CLUES. AS matter of fact 1t was. in
most eases. not the CLUES, but the
wood fibers themselves, that gave way.
In considering the application of
this new waterproof glue and plywood
to industry In our reconstruction pc
riod, It becomes evident that an en-
tircly new field has opened for pro-
gressive manufacturers of wood ar
ticles. Who. till now, has put on the
market a standard door that will not
warp? Plywood panels cannot warp
after they are finished, for one ply
holds the next rigidly. What manu-
facturer has got out table or chair
with glued Joints that will not get
shaky in n damp atmosphere? Furnl-
ture made with casein glue will hold
together far better.
For smaller wooden articles built-up
wood has immediate application not
only In replacing solid material but In
extending the utilization of small sizes
and low grades. Some of the articles

is held loosely to its neighbors on all
sides. To make a wood that is en-
pable of standing strain In all direc-
tiOns 1t is necessary to combine sew
eral layers cut at various angles to
the grain.
Thus is made ''plywood," said to be
literally stronger than steel" 1t Is

and 1t will enter conspicuously into
postwar industry. 1t is even possible
that as wall covering the thinner va
rieties will compete with wallpaper.
They possess all the beauty and dura-
bility of heavy wood paneling, for
their composite nature prevents them
from warping. Thin plywood has
been found, in toughness and flexibil-
ity, to compete favorably with textile
fabrics in the manufacture of air
plane wings.
weight for weight, wood was stronger
than steel he would be laughed at.
However. the forest products labora-
tory of the department of agriculture,
which is responsible for our knOwl-
edge Of plywoOd and the various uses
to which 1t may be put, has devised
a testing machine which proves this
very thing. Only, of course. the
strength of the wood Is estimated by
the pull It will stand running with
and not against the grain. For ex-
ample, toothpick of pine wood placed
In this machine. with the idea of pull
ing it apart in the middle, will usually
stand pressure of from 10 to 100
pounds before 1t gives way. As
against this, 3-inch length Of steel
wire, of the same weight as the tooth
pick, generally gives way when the
tension reaches about 30 pounds. Va
rious tests with this machine have
shown that all of the denser woods
can beat steel by from 300 to GOO per
cent. When tested across the grain,
however, the best of wood shows only
from one-fourth to one-half of the
strength of steel. That's why plywood
was invented.
The panels usc,l IN the manufacture
of plywood vary in thickness accord
ing to the article to be made of it.
In the case of material for airplane
wings, for example, they are only O1
Inch of thickness. Gluing thin veneer
into very thin panel of plywood hns
always been an extremely difficult
matter for the manufacturer. The
principal cause of trouble has been
the excessive swelling and shrinking
of the thin plies due to their absorp-
tion Of water from the wet glue, which
causes overlaps and considerable
amount of wrinkling. A second source
of trouble is in the handling of the
very thin material when 1t has been
coated with wet glue, since 1t Is then
very fragile and easily ruined.
To overcome these difficulties the
forest products laboratory has evolved
a process which consists of making a
sheet of glue by coating thin sheets
of tissue paper with blood glue. allow
ing 1t to dry, and using the coated pa
per as the glue layer for plywood.

Cattle Tick Dipping Case
Will Be GiUen First Test
Judge Jones Issues Writ of Ha.
beas Corpus for Appearance
of G. F. Parsons.
ARGUMENT is TUESDAY
Cattlemen's Association Makes
First Move to Have Dipping
Law Thrown Out.

Judge Z. NJ. Jones yesterday issued
writ of habeas corpus for Sheriff
Whitaker to bring before him at /:
o'clock Tuesday afternoon G. F. Par
sons, who is held under bond for viola
tion Of the cattle dipping law. Judge
Jones order was issued after a writ
of habeas corpus had been petitioned
for by Col. John S. Beard and Sen.
John p. Stokes, attorney for Parsons.
In asking for the writ, the attorney
alleged that Mr.. Parsons is being de-
tanned unlawfully in that the cattle
dipping law is unconstitutional in sew
eral particulars, all OF which were in
dicated by sections and titles of the
constitution, both of the state of Flor
ida and Of the United States.
Mr.. Parsons was arrested yesterday
morning on a warrant charging him
with failure to dip his cattle, in viola
ton of chapter 7345. acts of 1917, and
was held in nominal bond for a
hearing.
He Immediately applied to Col.
Beard and Mr.. Stokes, who issued out
the writ of habeas corpus. The case
viii be argued before Judge Jones
in his office at the new courthouse at
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be large at
tendance of stockmen from all parts
of the county, much interest having
been aroused.
Col. Beard said yesterday afternoon:
After thorough investigation and
study of chapter 7345, l am convinced
that the act is unconstitutional in a
dozen particulars"
1t is understood Messrs. Stokes and
Beard are being retained by the asso-
citation of cattlemen recently formed
for the purpose of breaking the dip
ping law, if possible. The case will
probably go to the supreme court for
final decision.
