Too Many Like
Bill Smith

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.
"Bill Smith dropped In on his
cousins, the Vanderpelts, one day with
his trunk. 1t soon developed that Bill
had come for pretty long stay. From
one week his visit heightened into two.
Two weeks became three, and it wasn't
till five weeks had gone by that Bill
at last announced his intention to de-
part.
1.-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 little something he ex-
planned, to help out tomorrow's Sun
day dinner And with a beaming
smile ne undid the bundles wrapping.
It's my farewell Sunday dinner with
you. you know. 1 thought we might
celebrate a little
ut was a gorgeous bundle. There
was large turkey and magnificent
ham. There were green peas from
Florida and luscious California
peaches. There were nuts and raj
sins and candy.
"'Well,' said the yanderpelts, after
Bill had gone to bed, so Bill 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 Vanderpelts
warmly urged him to come again. He
had loosened up. and they felt very
friendly toward him in consequence
"Then, the next morning, the gro
GERS account came in, and the family
learned that the whole Of Bills fare
well dinner had been charged to Ps
Vanderpelt."

beams, sled runners, gun stocks, base
ball bats, bowling pins, shoe lasts, hay
blocks, and ladder rails. Even built
up railroad ties and telephone poles
are by no means beyond the realms
of possibility.
One cannot fail to be impressed by
the possibilities of plywood as a fac
tor Of utilization. Not only would it
make possible the saving Of large
percentage of present woods and mills
waste, but it 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.

Nervous Spells ~
Near Heart Failure
Eat0nic Stopped It

Mr.. G. B. Loats, writing from his
home at Lay, Nd, says, II had been
taking medicine from four specialists,
but believe me, friends, one box Of
eatonic has done me more good than
all the remedies I have ever tried.
I was in awfully bad shape. About
half an hour before meals, got nerv-
,us, trembling and heart pressure so
bad could hardly walk or talk. One
box Of eatonic stopped it."
Eatonic quickly produces these tru-
ly marvellous results, because it takes
UP the poisons and gases and car
ries them right out Of the body.
OF course, when the cause is removed,
the sufferer gets well.
Everyone that wants better health Is
told to have just little faith-enough
to try one box of eatonic from your
own druggist. The cost is a trifle,
which he will hand back to you If you
are not pleased. Why should you sui.

lief, is waiting for you? Adv.

Man With Grit Wins

Grit has a way of taking possession
of you. Under its influence you act as
though you were a different person.
And that may be more true than we
think. Certainly there is a new spirit
n the man who dares what has been
hitherto impossible. It's the grit that
les back of him that does the work.

nDef L. the Dunule
Is held loosely to it's neighbors on all
sides. To make wood that is ca
pable of standing strain in all direc-
lions it 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,
end it 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.
If anyone should say offhand that
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 plywsod and the various uses
to which it may be put, has devised
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 a pressure Of from rs to 100
pounds before it 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 80 pounds. Va
rious tests with this machine have
shown that all of the denser woods
can beat steel by from 300 to 800 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 it.
In the case of material for airplane
wings, for example, they are only .01
inch of thickness. Gluing thin veneer
into very thin panel of plywood has
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 absorb
ton of water from the wet glue, which
causes overlaps and considerable
amount of wrinkllng. A second source
of trouble Is in the handling of the
very thin material when 1t has been
coated with wet glue, since it 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.
The process of making the panel then
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-08-14

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 a
steam-heated press. The result is an
extremely thin panel in which the
moisture content has been changed not
more than 1 or per cent. This sim
pie method eliminates the troubles re-
sulting from the use of a wet glue,
and makes the handling Of the thin
material an easy matter.
The extremely thin plywood secured
in this manner and tested on airplane
wings built especially for the purpose
proved surprisingly strong. 1t was
found that it 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 ap-
proximately the same, and it Is quite
likely that IN the future all non-metal
wings may be covered with this ma
terlal.
When plywood was first thought of
In connection with airplanes, an ap-
parently insurmountable difficulty pre-
scented itself. A machine that had to
be 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 water
would dissolve. To overcome this diff
f1culty 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
shearing machine, which applied force
in such a manner as to push one ply
from another, were made, and it was
demonstrated that pressure of from
two hundred and fifty to seven hum
bred 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 cases, 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
Rod, it becomes evident that an en-
tirely 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 a damp atmosphere? Furni-
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
already manufactured of plywood at
the forest products laboratory, with
most excellent results In every case,
are wagon tongues, wheel hubs, pillow

Thousands Have Kidney

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
The public, there is one preparation that
las been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root il

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
10 MANY applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
