SPOT DREADED BY SAILORS
Goodwin Sands, of English Coast,
May Well Be Called Graveyard
of the Ocean.

Goodwin sands on the English coast,
that have a dread record running
back to the tenth century, II not fur
Their, have q traditional and historical
interest, long before the unstable
sands became the terror of naviga-
ton and the bane OF lighthouse build
ers. They have defied to this day
every effort to establish a light The
place was once terra frma, an island
with the soft-sounding name LOmea,
the property of Earl GOdwine-hence
Goodwin. BY its position, at the en-
trance of Dover strait, the islet was
subject to furious attacks by the sea,
and money was regularly set aside to
keep up the fight. But tradition has 1t
that the fund was diverted from this
purpose to the erection of a church at
neighboring TenderdHn and, during
subsequent terrible storms, the island
of Lomea was overwhelmed and its
emplacement transformed into the
most deadly dangerous spot on the
Kentish coast. 1t was there that dur
ing a terrific hurricane In November,
1903, no less than 10 war vessels went
down in one Of the greatest marine dis

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 a 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.

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 ! 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
iAtthis manner and tested on airplane
wings built especially for the purpose
proved surprisingly strong. It was
found that II gave between 9 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

proximately the same, and 1t is quite
likely that In the future all non-metal
wings may be covered with this pa

When plywood was first thought of
In connection with airplanes, an APP
parently insurmountable difficulty pre-
scented itself. A machine that had to
be out in all kinds Of weather and
spend much Of its time I'm a dense fog
and IN thick clouds must not be held
together anywhere by glue that water
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 Ia 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
in such manner as to push one ply
from another, were made. and II was
demonstrated that a 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. 80 strong were the new
CLUES. As a matter OF fact, II was, 10
most cases, not the Clues, but the
wood fibers themselves that gave way.
In considering the application Of
this new waterproof glue and plywOOd

is held loosely to its nelghbors 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 1t win 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 fiexibil-
ity, TO compete favorably with textile
fabrics IN the manufacture Of air
plane wings.
II anyone should say ofthand that
weight for weight, wood was stronger
than steel he would be laughed at.
However. the forest products labora-
which is responsible for our knowl-
edge Of plywood and the various. uses
to which 1t 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 1t 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 II apart In the middle, will usually
stand pressure OF from 20 to 100
pounds before II 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
rious 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
tag to the article to be made OF 1t.
IN the case Of material for airplane
wings. for example, they are only OF
inch Of thickness. CHUNG thin veneer
into a 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 absorp-
ton OF water from the wet glue, which
causes overlaps and a considerable
amount Of wrinkling. A second source
Of trouble IL in the handling Of the
very thin material when II has been

THE HOTEL BUSINESS

Lincoln journal: Inc mead OF one OF
the largest chains of hotels in the coun-
try believes that room prices will new.
er come down. He bases his argument
upon the disappearance of the profits
from the bars. which he claims were
formerly high enough TO take consider
able load from the general overhead. 1t
is the opinion of travellers that the pres
ent scale of prices is extortionate. II
It is caused in part by high rentals
they will exercise their power of choice
and go out to lower priced hotels even
II they are obliged to seek the suburbs
II 1t is caused by an excess fof service
they will patronize houses where they
are expected to serve themselves to a
certain extent. The modest traveller
often preferstto carry his own bag and
do other trifling chores rather than to
wait upon an attendant who will do
nothing willingly without a fee. As for
the hat room brigands, they have al.
ready driven some patronage away from
the places where they have been
licensed to rob the public. The whole
hotel business has been built on ex.
travagance. While prices may not be
too high for the luxury and the service
furnished, the public will be better of
with more modest accommodations at
reasonable price. &

THE GO GETTER SPIRIT

st Some business people are well salts
fled if they can get as large volume Of
trade as they had the year before. 9th
ers constantly lay out greater marks
of achievement. During the coming
years they are always hoping to sell
20 per cent or so per cent more than
they did during the year that has
passed.
People of that type are usually good
advertisers They realize that busi-
ness. to increase its output. must con.
stantly be getting new customers and
drawing patronage from greater dis,
tances.
To accomplish that they must use
some form of solicitation. A newspa-
per advertising is the least expensive
form of publicity it is the one most
commonly employed. q
A concern that Is working so de-
terminedly along these lines to make
new friends is going to make unusual
efforts to please the public. 1t can be
depended upon to go the limit in max
ing low prices and hunting up bargains
to attract the peoples
