New Welding Method

A new and valuable process for
welding glass optical parts has been
developed by member of the Blu
reau of Standards, and is described
with illustrations in the February
Popular Mechanics Magazine. This
will be useful for the construction
of glass cells, hollow prisms, glass
tubes Theoretically closed with ac-
curately fiat, ground. and polished
ends; for the joining of lenses; for
providing windows of plane optical
glass for incandescent lamps for
special uses, ard for numberless
other purposes, of great value in
scientific and technical work and in
the products of certain industries.
Other methods for welding glass
are known and used, but this meth
cd has advantages in that the weld
ing can be accomplished with an in
appreciate distortion of the main
surface of the glass, and the cost OF
preparing the parts is less.

Sen Mcclellan
Objects to Talk of
Ambassador Harvey

Washington, May Ex-senator Nc
kellar, Democrat, Tennessee, charged
Mr.. Harvey with having made re
markedly conflicting statements in
declaring that this nation would not
have anything to do with the League
of Nations or its commissions while
announcing that he would represent
this government in consideration of
the Silesian question.
"The supreme conucil," said Sen.
Mcclellan, lis acting for it the
League of Nations) and appointed by
it."
Apparently some of those at the
dinner did not pay much attention to
Mr.. Harveys declarations, he added
and quoted from the address of Pre-
mier Lloyd George, congratulating
America on coming in to European
councils
"And he says he's not going in"
said Sen. Mcclellan, regarding the
American amba ssador.
Sen. Lodge, Republican, Massachu-
sets, interrupted to suggest that Sen.
Mcclellan learn the difference be-
tween the League of Nations and the
supreme council.

A Blossom Veined with Gold.

OF all the easily grown garden an
nuals, the salpiglossis or painted
tongue, as it is sometimes called, Is
one of the most beautiful in it's rich
and peculiar colorings. Nearly all of
the flowers ranging through royal
puppies. maroons, oranges, yellows
and brown shades are beautifully
narbled and veined, and it has the
popularity. rare among flowers, Of
showing glints of gold in it's coloring,
rose and gold. scarlet and gold, pur-
pie and gold and white and gold be-
ing some of the combinations. The
newer varieties have been improved
in size and coloring 50 that they are
hardly recognizable in comparison
with the old varieties.
1t has become a popular cut flower
for summer use during the last year
or two. 1t should be planted indoors
to get an early start and prolong the
season of bloom.
The salpiglossis is a near relative
Of the petunia and the same culture
will succeed with it. Strangely
enough with its beautiful coloring it
is not nearly as well known as II
should be.
1t should not be placed in the open
ground until the weather is well set

delight in hot summers, provided
only it is not allowed to become too
dry. 1t is most reliable bloomer

Broken Apple Boxes Result of Too
Few Nails.

Apple growers, finding that GER
tain standard type of bushel boxes in
which they have been shipping fruit
broke in many instances before 1t
reached the market, recently asked
the Forest Products Laboratory of
the United States Department of
Agriculture to investigate the cause
of the breakage.
Several OF these standard apple
boxes packed with fruit as for ship
ment were tested in the revolving
box drum at the laboratory. Before
they had gone journey" of average
length in the machine most of the
boxes had broken open and the drum
was dripping cider. On investiga-
ton it was found that usually the
parts of the box to loosen and give
way first were where the four nails
were holding an edge. Two more
rails were therefore driven into each
mailing edge of the remaining boxes.
With this simple change the boxes
stood just about twice as much
rough handling.
Inadequate mailing is the chief
fault of almost all the boxes ex-
amined by the laboratory. A few
more nails would save shippers mil

ause the wrinkled varieties to rot in

cause the wrinkled varieties to rot in
the ground.
There is one factor about these
round seeded varieties that must be
remembered. They must be picked
while the pods are young. At this
stage they are of fine enough quality
and sweet enough for anybody, but
let them get a little over the line to-
wards maturity and they lose their
flavor.
If YOU never have "doped" your
peas before planting time, try it this
year 1t will pay in growth, yield
and quality.
The proper dope" is a nitrogen
culture known under various trade
names and kept in stock at a mod
crate price by seedmen. Merely
make the solution according to the
directions that come with this nitro
gen culture and soak the peas in it
before planting. Peas, beans and
their relatives all attract to their
roots bacteria, which take nitrogen
direct from the air. This culture
sets the bacteria at work more
quickly than If the plant were left
to itself and thus gives it d faster
start and a greater supporting sys-
tenn.
Peas are one of the earliest vege-
tables to go into the ground. A COM
mon error rs to plant the dwarf
type altogether too close in the rows.
good way is to plant them one
inch apart in rows three seeds wide,
arranging the rows a foot apart in
pairs with three feet between each
pair This gives room for the dwarf
vines to spread without becoming
hopelessly entangled. Consult the
length of vine carefully when allow
ing for distance between rows. Some
grow longer than others and need
wider row. Eighteen-inch vines
could go nicely with a three-foot
row but those sure to go two feet
would interlock in this space.

Western Clay is Found Valuable in
Paner Making.

Clay that is highly collodial has
been found by the Forest Products
Laboratory of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture to be very
valuable as a loading material for
giving finish and printing qualities to
paper.
Previous to the discovery made by
the laboratory at Madison, Wis, this
whitish clay, found in large deposits
tjn the Rocky Mountain region. has
had little known use except as an ex-
cellent substitute for soap. In the
mast all the best clay used for load
ing paper has been imported. Elk
pcriments with the American clay
from the West show that when this
CLAW is added to the English china
clay generally used the paper pro-
duced has a superior finish and APP
nearance and a more velvety feel
than where the English clay only is
used

Brunswick, Me-, May 20-A letter
from the late Chief Justice White,
one of the last that he wrote, was
read to the student body of Bowdoin
college today by President Kenneth
c. NJ. Stills. The letter, forwarded
just before the chief justice entered
the hospital, declined, on account of
previous engagement, an invita-
ton to be the guest Of honor at
commencement.
Chief Justice White recalled his
pleasant memories of the late Chief
Justice Melville w. Fuller, a Bow
doin graduate. and closed by saying:
Permit me to express my warm
wishes for the prosperity of Bow
doin and the happiness of those who
go out from her halls to uphold and
perpetuate the principles of civil
liberty"

Wrinklcd Peas

alike as two peas doesn't mean
much of anything any more unless
the two peas in question should hap
same pod. Peas have become very
different since the succulent tribe
became thoroughly developed under
selection and naturalization.
If you had to select the best quail
ity pea merely by looking at the
seed, few years back it would have
been Hobson's choice. Now it is
another matter Suppose you had
twenty different samples of seed
peas before you and you wished to
select the best variety for your gar
den as matter of quality. If you
picked the one with the most wrin-
kles in it you wouldn't be far
wrong, so far as the quality of
sweetness is concerned. Of course
you couldn't tell about the height of
the plant nor it's productiveness, but
you would have solved the sweet
ness problem.
Sweetness and wrinkles are the pea
combination that counts. Another
factor in favor of the wrinkled pea
is that it is sweet and tender over a
longer season and can be cooked
nearer maturity than the round
seeded sorts.
So much for the wrinkles, but the
smooth seeded sorts should not be
discarded by any manner of means,
because they have one quality that
makes them as, valuable for their
purpose as the wrinkled varieties.
They are the earliest of all garden
crops because they will stand cold
and wet that will, in many cases.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Back Color and Lustre
With Sage Tea and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
hlesome. At little cost, you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addition
OF other ingredients, called "Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. You
jest dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning all gray hair dis
appears. ana after another applica-
ton or two your hair becomes beau
tifully darkened, glossy and mxuri-
ant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace. is sign of old age. and az we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
and look years younger.
