Enormols Power Of
Resistance in Barrel

Nobody kno"'s who invented the
barrel. It has been, used since time
immemorial.
Barrels are used for all manner of
articles. solid and liquid. There are
barrels for holding sugar, salt, ap
pies, potatoes and so on; for all
sorts of oils, from the heaviest lubri
cants to the most volatile products
of petroleum: for all sorts of bever-
ages. 1t is contended that the bar
rel is the strongest structure of its
size that can be made from an equal
amount of wood. Its contents are
frequently the strongest that can be
made from liquids.
The barrel possesses tremendous
power Of resistance to pressure from
within and from without. barrel
set on end will, it is claimed, support
half the weight of a railway car
while the truck is taken from be-
meath for repairs. Yet the primitive
barrel is put together without nails.

self-fastened.
The barrel Is smaller at it's ends
than it is in the middle, so that the

tight. A small barrel is keg, big

barrel is hogshead.

COTTON is STILL POPULAR FOR
MANY HOUSEHOLD THINGS

In spite of a trend toward other
textile fibers for some household
articles, cotton is still the house
wife's choice for great many furn-
ishings, according to the Bureau of
Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In the course Of study of the
changing uses of the various textile
fibers in the home, SAG replies were
analysed in respect to the household
articles used in 1927 as compared
with 1922.
1t was found that for certain
things, especially things for table
use, such as dolly sets, luncheon
cloths, tablecloths, and table nap
kins, linen was more popular than
cotton. And for blankets and rugs,
wool was slightly more popular than
cotton or other textile fibers. But
in the case of all other household ar
ticles, the families reported greater
use of cotton than any other textile
fiber.
The size of the community seems
to make some difference in the guam
tity of certain articles used, and
where a choice between linen was
possible greater proportion OF lin
en- articles was used by those in
towns or cities of 5000 population
or over than in rural communities.
The same trend was also found in
case of income groups. With more
money to spend, more household
furnishings are brought, and the
tendency becomes noticeable to buy
more linen or silk or rayon than cot
ton. In the two lowest income
groups the use of cotton increased
as much as or more than the use of
silk or linen.
Over 10 per cent of the families
reporting were using more of the
following articles in 1927 than they
had five years previous: Cotton
bedspreads, cotton and wool blank
cts, cotton covers of comforters with
cotton, wool, down filings; cotton
mattress covers and pads, cotton
and linen luncheon cloths, cotton
and linen table napkins. cotton and
linen dish towels, and face towels,
cotton Turkish towels, cotton wash
cloths, cotton awnings for porches
and windows, cotton bureau scarfs,
cotton and linen card-table covers,
cotton and vol or worsted rugs,
cotton and silk sofa-pillow covers,
and cotton and rayon window cur
tains. Perhaps, says the bureau,
this can be taken to indicate that a
good many people actually had more
and better housefurnishings at the
time they replied to the inquiry. and
dat large number of these articles
Were made of cotton.

GETTING READY FOR THE
9TTMMER

~AAS
out-of doors season coming soon,
the State Department of Health is
reminding owners or operators OF
summer camps that no camp can be
operated without permit and that
only those camps that meet the
State requirements for sanitation
and general care, will be duly IL
censed. In the notices that have
been sent to camp operators, DR.. r.
H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, calls attention
to the fact that last years permit
does not hold over for second year.
A new permit is required for the
1929 season.
Applications should accordingly be
made promptly SO that the necessary
inspections can be made before the
season opens. Applications must
state the exact location of the exist
ing, or proposed, camp, the approx
mate number of persons to be main
tanned, the probable duration OF use,
and the proposed method OF sewage
and garbage disposal. The regula-
lions apply to all places used as a
camp or picnic ground for period
of six days or longer and accom-
rodating ten or more persons.
During the coming season, the SUI
pervision of the camps will continue
to be under the direction of the Dep
uty State Health Officers, or local
Health Officers of the section in
which they are located, and OF the
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering OF
1.-The State Department of Health.
Camps that meet the requirements OF
the State Board of Health will be
fduly certified and will be posted
with placards stating the approval
Of the Board.
Supervision and inspections OF the
camps, under the present regula-
lions were begun in 1925. During
that year los camps in 10 counties
were inspected and less than half

were licensed. The next year, 135
camps wire inspected and rs were

The Jones bill, imposing drastic
penalties on dry law violators. was
signed by president Coolidge on Sat
urday. The measure, which pro-
vldes a maximum sentence OF five
years Imprisonment and a $4,000
fine, is primarily aimed directly at
the foreign-born lawbreaker, and
makes it possible to deport aliens.
Under the old law this could not
be done. because a violation was
only a misdemeanor. Under the
new law it becames felony under
which aliens may be deported.

Chromium Reflector
For Auto Headlights

Washington, Jan. 25 R,-Chrum-
ium. which can be electroplated on
steel and is more permanent than
nickel. has been found particularly
suitable for reflectors in automo-
bile headlights after an exhaustive
research made by the bureau OF
standards
The research undertaken to study
the rejecting power Of chromium
was extended to cover not only
light in the visible portion Of the
spectrum but also the ultraviolet
and infra-red. As a result it was
found thatchromium has much
higher rejecting power than nickel
in the ultraviolet and. since 1t is
less affected by ultraviolet rays. II
is more useful as reflector Of these
rays.
Data were also obtained on beryI-
lium. another metal which is more
