HERE'S HOPING HE SUCCEEDS
French Inventor Working on Scheme
Which Would Lower the Price
of Wearing Apparel.

A French inventor, who has spent
many years in Brazil and Nicaragua,
states that women will be able to pur-
chase blouses, jumpers, and even cos
tunes, made Of leaves and Feelings.
Men may be offered suits and under
wear of the same materials.
This man has devised machine
which can extract weaving threads
from bananas, pineapples, and other
fibrOus plants. For example, the leaf
of the wild pincapples gives thread
over two yards long.
He hopes later to be able to utilize
the skins of many other fruits. 1t is
10 he hoped that he succeeds. for the
cost of clothes will be considerably
less than those made of present-day
imitation silks and Inercerized cot
tons.

OUR VIRGIN TIMBER

New -, La.-Our Louisiana
virgin timer being rapidly depleted.
Each year sees more lumber and wood
using industries cutting out and aban-
doning their operations, causing q
slack in business and the drifting Of
labor and population, thus leaving the
few that remain to pay the price that

portanee that we utilize every stick
Of timber If the state Of Louisiana
wants to retain its prestige as the sec
ond largest numbering state.
Protective steps must also be given
to the young timber. The greatest
enemy Of reforestation IS fire. Care
with fire Is 8 little thing which every
man can help. Louisianians must
realize that fiss win ruin the indus

troying the timber and also the range

Of the damage little match, ciga,

Mr.. Hunter. Mr.. Smoker, Mr.. Farm.

that your carelessness may dig at the
Industrial heart Of our State. Each
year Of fire brings its toll OF black
charred ruins and barren lands. Make
this year an exception. Be careful

SPLIT POSTS. AND
ROUND POSTS


Madison, Wis.-Ts q split fence post
As durable as q round fence post? This
Is question frequently asked Of the
q. 8. Forest Products Laboratory. The
fact Is, one kind OF post will last about
as long as the other IL the amount Of
heartwood is the same in both. But
II the percentages Of sapwood is in
creased by splitting, the split post viii
be less durable, and If the percentage
Of heartwood Is increased, It, win be
more durable than round one. Posts
Of spruce, hemIock or any Of the true
frs are exception to this rule, because
their heartwood and sapwood are
about equally durable.
When posts are to be treated with
creosote or other preservative, round
post is preferable to q split post, be-
cause Of the comparative ease with
which the sapwood can be treated.
The heart faces on split posts do not,
as a rule, absorb preservatiye wen.
Split red-oak posts win take treatment
because the wood Is very porous, but
the heart faces Of split posts Of many
other species. notably white oak, red
gum and Douglas Fir. resist the penc-
tration Of pTeserVative even undag
heavy prssgures.

TRUCK AS AN ASSET
FOR TRANSPORTATION


Significant as to what part of the
motor truck may be called on to play
in the nations transportation pro-
blem, at least in short haul transporta
toin, is the trip just made by the
Goodyear six wheel truck between
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The trip OF AZ miles was made in
IA hours and 40 minutes. or at an
average speed uphill and down of 90
miles per hour. Five tons of freight
were carried, mostly tires. tubes and
accessories.
The best previous time for the dis
lance was made by IL ton truck
which averaged q speed Of "A miles
per hour.
The Southern Pacific railroad, over
a slightly longer route, makes the
same trip by fast passenger train in IA
hours and 90 minutes. The six wheel
er's trip was made over the inside
or ridge" road. via Bakersfield and
Frenso, rather than the beach road
which is comparatively level The
truck had to climb to a height OF
100 feet in the first n miles, dropped
to 1900 fet in the next seven, then in
the next forty miles had to make an
ascent to 1920 feet above the sea
level.
To get a comparative idea Of the
significance Of this trip, it can be
stated that the trip from Ney York
to Pittsburg. which Is approximately
the same distance, can be made by
fast passenger train in ten hours
and 80 minutes.
From New York to Montreal which
is 40 miles by rail, takes IL hours
by taste passenger train.
The trip from Pittsburg to Chicago,
46S miles, can be made by fast train
in nine hours and 20 minutes.
In other words, freight from New
York shipped out Of Pittsburg or Mon
there in the morning can be delivered
that evening at its destination by mo-
tor truck just an hour or so later
than the express passenger trains ar
rive.
Based on an average speed Of 20
miles an hour, the Mississippi river
can be brought within two days jour-
ney by motor truck Of either the At
lantic or the Pacific seaboard. provld-
ing the progressive improvement Of
national highways is continued

The six wheeler which is a unique

was designd by Goodyear engineers
and has the drive connected with the
four rear wheels. 1t rode on inch

and oprating expense since four
eight inch tires can be bought for
less than two 10 inch tires.

Louisiana Is Among
Leading State to Care for
Here Disabled Soldiers

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 22.-Louisiana is
among the leading states Of the ma
htion IN the care it is giving to its dis
abled soldiers and members Of their
families according to reports receiv-
ed at headquarters Of the Southern
Division Of the American Red Cross.
No less than 1000 veterans are aid
ed by Louisiana Red Cross each
in their struggle to overcome the
handicpas of wounds, gas and dis
ease in their battle back to peace
time usefulness.
The money paid these men by the
Red Cross, or expended in their be-
half, is entirely outside Of any
money or compensation they may re-
ceive from government bureaus. The
Red Cross work for these veterans
is entirely separate and digtince from
that performed by the government,
though the work is, can extent,
corollary.
Here is an instance Of the type Of
work the Red Cross is doing. A
young man, wore the silver star of
wounded veteran but whose shoes
we're worn and whose Globes were
little more than rags, walked to the
office Of Red Cross secretary in 8
town. He was hungry and discourag-
ed. All he waned was handout OF
something to eat, such as he had re-
ceiyed at farm houses as he made his
weary way through the country. He
got his handout and the Red Cross
worker also got his story from him.
II had work in the lumber plant at
Bogalousa," he said. 1.-THE job was
too heavy for me, though. You see
got rather bad dose OF gas in the
Argo ie and I've never quite recover
ed rem its effects. I've never had
t'15 opportunity of learning any spe-
cial kind Of work. SO 1 have to make
ny living at heavy jobs, and I haven't
he strength left to hold them"
II developed that the boy was still
suffering from disability acquired
in the service. He was totally ignor-
ant OF the fact that Uncle Sam was
looking for men in his fix with the
one idea Of giving them add.
The Red Cross cared for him until
his papers could be put through
It kept track Of him during the six
months he was in government hos
pital. When he came out the Red
Cross had a job waiting for him.
Instead Of riding the rods back
rome, as he had planned D do, he
saved his pay and went back home
to an ageing and anxious mother with
his head in the air, clothes on his
back, and money in his pocket. and
best Of all, a new determination to
meet the world and its problems.
Again there are men sent to the.
