WHAT CHILDREN SHOULD
KNOW

Cotton, the soft fleecy, harmless
appearing product of the South, from
which we make our baby's dresses, is
the principal ingredient in cannon
powder used in the largest caliber
! guns.
So-called celluloid collars are made
of cotton the same way as any starch
ed collar, practically the only differ
ence is that the nitrocellulose collar
is stiffened with pyroxylin, also made
of cotton, while the other is stiffened
with starch.
The reason tire cement evaporates
so quickly if exposed to the air is be-
cause it is liquified with ether-a
highly volatile liquid which turns in
to vapor with very little encourage
ment.
The world is no longer dependent
on the camphor tree for its camphor
because an enterprising chemist has
discovered a process for making 1T
| synthetically.
| So far as bulk is concerned pow
dered wood is the principal ingre-
dient used in manufacturing dyna-
mite. In some kinds of dynamite,
the wood is used in the shape of char
coal.
Varnish is made of oil and the gum
of trees Most of the gum comes
from forests in the tropics and is
gathered by natives who make their
living by selling it. 1t is this gum
that gives to varnish it's hardness,
elasticity and it's brilliance.
Blasting caps are infinitely more
dangerous than dynamite because
they are more sensitive. Do not pick
up caps-hundred of children are
injured by them.
The undernourished child, the one
with infected tonsils, with adenoids
or glandular disorders will tire quick
ly and so lose the incentive to effort.
The development of rayon has sup
plemented wool and cotton fibEe and
has shown itself to be product we'll
adapted to the needs of man. This
statement is subscribed to by the
ready sale of upwards of $90,00O,OOO
worth of this fibre. The 1926 rayon
production was close to $4,000, 600
pounds.
In many cases the product of the
scientists laboratory, developed for
specific purposes, has proper ties
which made it inherently betted than
the corresponding natural product
which it substitutes. Chemical ferti-
lizers contain more plant food than
natural manure; many synthetic
drugs are handled with greater de-
gree of assurance as to the result to /
be produced, than the natural pro-
ducts which they substitute.
Toilet articles made from plactl-
cized nitro-cellulose give us an ivory
that does not crack and turn yellow,
as does natural ivory; the tortoise
shell of the scientists laboratory is
better than tortoise shell from the
turtles back.
The coated textiles with which the
seat of your automobile or its top
may be covered are much better
adapted to serve the purposes for
which they are intended than the
tanned hide of cow would be.
If we hard to supply the demands OF
the automobile trade without such
substances as Fabrikoid, it would re-
ouire the slaughter of every head OF
cattle in the country to meet the de-
mand for tops and seat coverings,
and the price of shoes, incidentally
would probably go out of sight.
