SUGAR LAND, Tex, Oct. 49,
Eleven snow white school cottages,
draped in a crescent over the top
of the highest hill in this city, form
Of the most unusual school
groups to be found in the state.
And the system Of schools is one
Of the results Of the development
work here of the Imperial Sugar
company, refiners of Imperial Pure
Cane sugar, developers Of the sec
ton.
The schools are built Of reinforced
concrete, and hollow tile. They are
at the edge Of an artificial lake
whose mirror-like surface reflects
the pecan groves and well-kept lawns
Of the surrounding homes, away from
the house and confusion of the in
dustrial section.
The buildings are connected with
a white pillared pergola and at the
apex Of the crescent Is the school
auditorium, the other buildings. This
auditorium has a seating capacity
Ct 500. is equipped with a stage, mo-
tion picture machines and all con-
veniences found in first class the
aters. All the school and community
activities are held in this building.
When the present developers came
to Sugar Land. in 1908. there was one
teacher, and five pupils housed in a
one-room shack. The Sugarland
properties. headed by w. r. Eldridge
of Sugar Land, and /. II. Kempner Of
Galveston, founders Of the Imperial
Sugar Company, have done many
things for the city. among them be.
ing the scool system.
Sponsored and financially assisted
by the owners Of this company, the
present system has been made pos
sible. the enrolment having in
creased to $50, with a staff Of Is
teachers.

The weather still continues quite
settled, clear and cool under the in
fluence Of moderately high baro-
metric pressure practically through
out the United States. A disturbance,
apparently some district off the
North Carolina coast this morning,
has caused heavy cloudiness, strong
winds and general rains in the At
lantic states from North Carolina
n%orthward 10 Massachusetts. Tenn
reratures have fallen considerably in
most Of the southeastern states since

ably low readings there this morning.
Elsewhere in the country tempera-

SWeetWater Is
Gypsum Leader

SWEET WATER, Texas, Oct. ls.-
This city now ranks as one of the
largest gypsum producing centers IN
the United States, the industry here
having grown to its present proper
tions since 1928. In that year the
United States Gypsum Company be-
gan construction Of the first unit Of
its mandatory. The development
of Texas. and the consequent in
crease in the demand within the
state for gypsum commodities, has
made necessary the plant additions
that have obtained for Sweetwater q
place among the leading gypsum pro-
ducing centers of the world.
A complete line Of gypsum COM
modities is manufactured here. This
lire includes Sheetrock wallboard,
Gyplap s~heathing. Rocklath plaster
ing base and many kinds of gypsum
plasters. Perhaps the most interest
ing, from a standpoint of manufac-
ture, is Sheetrock wallboard, which
is peculiarly adapted for use in the
Southwestern part of the United
States.
Sheetrock is precisely what its
name says il is-sheets of rock, and
the rock in the finished piece Of
Sheetrock w~allboard is very much
like the gypsum rock that is taken
from beneath the ground. However,
between the mining of the rock and
the manufacture of the ~wallboard.
this important change takes place:
the rock is changed into a plastic
mass; while in the plastic mass the
gypsu is moulded between stout
fibre coverings into the form Of
boards; then the plastic mass returns
30 its rock form; and the finished
product is-sheets of rock.
Because Of the nature of gypsum
rock, Sheetrock cannot burn; il is
nailed and sawed with the Ease Of
wood lumber; and it does not har-
Dor vermin.

Making Use of Maps
for Dress Patterns

Old maps are amusing and interest
ing, says the Paris correspondent of
the Christian Science Monitor. Wheth-
er they will be altogether suitable as
patterns for dresses remains to be
seen. The French couturiers, who
have ransacked the world for ideas,
nave now hit upon the notion of de-
signing geographical frocks. They
have taken the Sixteenth and Seven
teenth century maps and propose to
convey their quaint colors and con-
tours to silks and satins. Afternoon
and evening robes are dotted with
many-starred mariners compasses and
little images indicating winds.
Sometimes the new frocks are COW
cred with wavy seas and tree-bearing
islands, but others are simply bor-
dered with map scales. The firm which
first thought of this characterization
made a large collection of early travel
books containing primitive maps. 1t
is said that the new models have been
favorably received by the trade" d

Accidents That Haze
Made Big Industries

A piece of cheese tossed by one
workman at another during the
luncheon hour missed its mark and
dropped into the plating bath used in
the production of copper disks from
which wax photograph records were
stamped. Later the disks from that
bath were found to be far superior to
the others, and an investigation re-
vealed that the casein In the cheese
had done the trick. This disclosed a
possible Improvement worth thousands
of dollars to the manufacturer. Tele-
phone engineers discovered that an
alloy of nickel and iron, when pro-
duced in the form of narrow ribbon
and wound around the copper core Of
a submarine cable, would increase the
speed of the cable six times. The only
trouble was that no one seemed able
to find flux that would weld the ends
Of the ribbon into a solid piece. One
day a workman jokingly said: Lets
try salt" Picking up the shaker from
his luncheon pail, he started to
sprinkle the salt over the fiux. when
the cover fell. off the shaker and the
salt poured over the weld. This start
ed chemical action that united the
edges, and the problem was solved. A
scientist In France, while experiment.
ing in his laboratory, inadvertently
opened the wrong valve. Before he
could rectify his mastake several drops
of moisture settled in glass tube that
was part of the apparatus. His ella
ton knew no bounds, for here at last
was the end Of the long search for
liquid oxygen. Again an accident Gre
ated an industry and gave us an explo-
sive far safer and mightier than dyna-
mite.-Floyd W. Parsons in the Satur-
day Evening Post.
