Department Of Commerce Secretary
Alexander was talking about the alien
question.
"The alien" he said, who comes
over here, learns the language and
gets naturalized-with him we have
no quarrel; but too many alieLs only
come over to make a small fortune
and then go back home. Such aliens
are like Bill Smith.
"Bm Smith dropped in on his
cousins, the Vanderpelts, one day with
his trunk. 1t soon developed that BIZ
had come for a pretty long stay. From
one week his visit heightened into two.
Two weeks became three, and 1t wasn't
till five weeks had gone by that BIZ
at last announced his intention to de-
part.
"The Saturday evening before his
departure Bill who was a notorious
tightwad, astonished and pleased the
Vanderpelts by coming home with an
enormous bundle.
"'Just a little something he ex-
planned, to help out tomorrOw's Sun
day dinner And with a beamlng
smile he undid the bundles wrapping.
It's my farewell Sunday dinner with
you, you know. l thought we might
celebrate little

was a large turkey and a magnificent
ham. There we're green pees from
Florida and luscious California
peaches. There we're nuts and raj
sins and candy.
"Well,' said the Vanderpelts, after
BIZ had gone to bed, so Bin has loos-
ened up for once
"All hands enjoyed the farewell Sun
day dinner tremendously, and on Sun
day evening Bill departed by the 8
o'clock express. The Vanderpeits
warmly urged him to come again. He
had loosened up, and they felt very
friendly toward him In consequence,
"Tken, the next morning, the gro

learned that the whole of Bills fare

Joe had his first fling in big time
circles in 1908 with Connie Mack's Ath-
letics; but, coming from a small town
that was hid away somewhere In the
Carollnas, Joe couldn't get accustomed
to a big city. After eight days he left
for home and southern cooking. In
1909 Connie Mack reinstated him, but
going through the training season in
the South with the club he jumped the
team again. This time the day Of the
opening game in Philadelphia. But in
1910 he came to stay, this time with
Cleveland. His hitting since has been
almost superhuman, and It is said that
he hits a ball harder than any man
playing ball, not excepting Babe Ruth.

Of possibility.
One cannot fail to be impressed by
the possibilities Of plywood as a fac
tor Of utilization. Not only would 1t
make possible the saving Of large
percentage of present woods and mills
waste, but 1t might revolutionize pres
ent milling and grading practices. Sc
lect and clear material, the value Of
which is now lost in undersizes or dis
counted by low-grade classification,
could be utilized and valued as are
now the more valuable hardwoods.
From the standpoint Of satisfactory
service, there seem to be no limits to
the possible substitution of plywood
for most forms of solid wood.

baseman, fielding a ground ball,
makes the play on the runner az

what happened in the seventh
inning Of recent game between
the Giants and Phillies. Sny-

Of the seventh, drew a pass and
Benton was ordered to sacrifice.
He rolled q bunt between first
base and the pitchers box and
Paulette, dashing In, missed a

consists merely In laying alternately
as many sheets Of thin veneer and
sheets of this glue tissue as 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 2 per cent. This sim
pie method eliminates the troubles re-
sulting from the use Of q wet glue,
and makes the handling of the thin
material an easy matter.
The extremely thin pIywOod secured
in this manner and tested on airplane
wings built especially for the purpose
proved surprisingly strong. 1t was
found that it gave between and 8
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, It's strength proved to be ap-
proXimately the same, and 1t is quite
likely that in the future all nOn-metal
wings may be covered with this ma
terial.
When plywood was first thought of
in connection with airplanes, an ap-
parenuy insurmountable difficulty pre-
sented itself. A machine that had to
be out in all kinds Of weather and
spend much Of its time in a dense fog
and in thick clouds must not be held
together anywhere by glue that water
would dissolve. To overcome this diff
fIcuIty 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 a manner as to push one ply
from another, were made, and 1t was
demonstrated that n pressure Of from
two hundred and fifty to seven hun
dred pounds to the square inch Of
glue surface was required to separate
the layers, so strong were the new
Clues. AS a matter Of fact, 1t was, In
most cases, not the CLUES, but the
wood nbers 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-
tIrely new field has opened fer 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 rigldly. What manu-
facturer has got out table or chall
with glued joints that will not get
shaky in a damp atmosphere? Furnl
ture made with casein glue will hold
together far better.
For smaller wooden articles built-uI
wood has immediate application no
only in replacing solid material but II

and low grades. Some Of the artIclel

fiber In the bundle
Is held loosely to its neighbors on all
sides. To make a wood that is ca
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
reVOlutionizing airplane construction,
and it will enter Conspicuously into
postwar industry. 1t is even possible
that as a wall covering the thinner va
rleties Will compete with wallpaper.
They possess all the beauty and dura-
bility of heavy wood paneling, for
their composite nature prevents them
from warplng. Thin plywoOd has
been found, in tOughness and feXibil-
ity, to compete favorably with textile
fabrics in the manufacture Of air
plane wings.
If anyone should say ofrh0nd that
weight for weight, wood wa, onger
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 it 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 1t apart In the middle, will usually
stand a pressure Of from 70 to 100
pounds before It gives way. AS
against this a 3-inCh length Of steel
wire, Of the same weight as the tooth
pick, generally gives way when the
tension reaches about 80 pounds. Va
rlous tests with this machine have
shown that all Of the denser woods
can beat steel by from 800 to 600 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 used in the manufacture
Of plywood vary in thickness accord
ing to the article to be made Of 1t
In tho case Of material for airplane
wings, for example, they are only OF
inch Of thickness. Gluing thin veneer
into very thin panel Of plywood has
always been an extremely difficult
matter for the manufacturer ThC
principal cause Of trouble has beer
the excessive swelling and shrinking
of the thin plies due to their absorp
ton of water from the wet glue, which
causes overlaps and a considerable
amount Of wrinkling. A second source
Of trouble is In the handling OF tht
very thin material when 1t has beel
coated with a wet glue, since 1t is theI
very fragile and easily ruined
To overcome these difficulties tn

sheet of glue by coating thin sheet
