Why Safety Match Lights
 When Scratched on Glass

It has often be, noticed. says Sci entific American. that so-called safety matches will ignite when "scratched" briskly across a sheet of glass. To find the reason for this, we consulted the Mellon Institute of Industrial Re search. Their reply follows:
 "The tip. head. or ignition portion of the ordinary safety match contains potassium chlorate. sulphur and binder, such as glue. The striking surface on a safety match box con- sists of amorphous phosphorus. anti mony sulphide and an adhesive.
 .'lt is well known that an explosion results when potassium chlorate is ground with sulph or other com bustible material. When, therefore, a safety match head Is struck or rubbed hard on a glass surface. the friction Is of the character and sufficiency to pro- duce a reaction between the potassium chlorate and sulphur, causing igni- tion,"

Why Left.Handed Tracks Are Used

A great many years ago the rail- roads of America were dominated hnan- cially by European interests. mostly Dutch and English. A number of Eng lishmen were sent here to operate the railroads and practically al! of the first double. tracking was done and established with left-hand operation, and this continued until good many miles had been constructed and so 0p- erated on the Erie, Fort Wayne. Lake Shore and other railroads. these roads being changed later to right-hand running, the last one being the Lake Shore, now the New York Central railroad. which was changed about fifteep years ago at a very heavy ex- pense. The New York Central still operates two of Its four-track sys- tenn between Buffalo and New York left. and the others right hand. The Northwestern railroad has a number of time considered the question. but has found the expense to be tremen- dous compared with the benefits to be obtained.

Why Shotguns Burst

When 8 shotgun barrel bursts you may be sure that the cause was some obstruction in the end of the barrel. not an overloaded shell or obstruction at the breach. This Is the conclusion of Prof. William ]. Conley of the Uni versity of Rochester. after experiments In which he used shotguns salvaged from junk shops. Double and triple loads had no effect on the ramshackle l2-gauge guns, but when the guns nfuzzle was plugged with mud or snow the barrel invariably burst or bulged near the end. Even half an inch of soft snow in the muzzle resulted in an explosion of the gun held in a wise so violent that a piece of Ii flew back fifty feet and hit the door from be- hind which Professor Conley pulled the firing string.-Science Service.

WHY
Meat Spoils in Refrigerators Is l-A Easily Explained ei1

Why meat kept In household re- frigerat0r often develops slimy sur face and spoils but seldom does so when hung for weeks or months in the cold-storage warehouse before be- ing cut up Is explained in recent re- port by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in England. relates Pathfinder Magazine.
 The sllmy layer on the surface of such spoiled meat is found to consist of more than hundred different strains of living germs All these germs. however, belong 10 the same family of bacteria, called the achrOmo- bacter family. These germs are not only on the surface of the meat, but often some of the slime bacteria pene. trate 1t and make 1t unfit to eat. The germs grow even at the temperature of melting ice. Since most household refrlgeratOrs are kept only few de- grees above that point the bacteria still grow. While the meat Is hang ing in cold storage It's surface con- sists mostly of fat. skin. or skin-like connective tissue. The slime bacteria do not grow so well on that, but do very we'll on the raw surface of the consumers small piece after the meat Is cut.

HI. Deets Warfield To
Take Over Agency For
Chevrolet Auto Here

Business prospects, both local and
national, are decidedly on the mend, in
the opinion of H. Deets Warfeld,
Chevrolet dealer at Mt. Airy who is
shortly taking over the Rockville and
upper Montgomery County territory.
Mr.. Warfeld spent an entire day at
the General Motors Proving Grounds
recently. There w. E. Holler, General
Sales Manager of Chevrolet, presented
the new line of cars, outlined plans
and policies for the coming year, and
gave every dealer present an oppor-
tunity not only to inspect each model
but also to put it through it's PAGES
on the rugged hills, rough roads, and
Az mile speed track which the prov
ing ground provides.
with cars like these new Chevrolets
to sell, I'm enthusiastic about business
prospects for next year," said Mr..
Warfeld. Il went up there expecting

knee action front wheels had already
been announced, with the promise that
they would revolutionize the expert
ence of riding and driving.
Il found this literally true. They
told us to give her the works to put
the car, at so and 60, over bumps and
ruts we'd ordinarily take in second
gear-or better yet, avoid altogether.
The absence of jolts, jars or shocks is
simply beyond description; it must be
experienced to be believed Yet knee
action is only one of a dozen major
features embodied in the new Chevro-
let.
Every dealer l talked to is anxious
ly awaiting the public announcement
OF the new cars. Everyone feels as
certain as | do that they'll put real,
active stimulus behind local business
and when that sort of thing takes
place all over the country, good times
will really be on the way"

Underweight Child
Discussed By Health
Dep t. Bulletin
Sleep, Exercise, Eating Habits,
Correction OF Physical Defects
Stressed In Bulletin No. 2

In recent bulletin, DR.. R. H. Riley
Director of the State Department of
Health, directed the attention of moth
ers of young children to a list of sug-
gested foods for children who are UNI
derweight. This week he calls atten-
ton to further recommendations
which come from the same source
the U. S. Children's Bureaus to the
needs of growing children for regular
medical supervision, for sleep and rest
and for exercise and outdoor play.
The recommendation follow:
Sleep and Rest-An undernourished
child should have more sleep and rest
than the well-nourished child of the
same age. From 2 to 6 years of age
he should rest at least 11a hours dur
ing the day and should have IL to 10
hours of sleep at night, going to bed
at 6 or $50 or, toward the end of this
period, in some cases, at z; during
school years he should rest after
lunch for half an hour and should
have at least II to IL hours of sleep,
going to bed at 7:30 or 8 o'clock. A
child in his teens who is undernourish-
ed needs 10 to IL hours of sleep and
also should rest daily after lunch.
Every child should sleep in bed by
himself.
Exercise and Outdoor Play-An
undernourished child should play out
doors in the sun for a part of each
day Except at midday in hot wealth
err. Little is gained, however, by out
door play on cloudy days in very cold
weather. If the temperature is below
freezing, young children cannot exer-
else enough to keep warm. Moderate
play and exercise are recommended,
but strenuous games and exercise
may have to be avoided until the
child's nutritional condition returns to
normal. Purposeless running about in
doors should be discouraged by pro-
viding some quiet amusement. The
physicians advice should be sought
with respect to the amount of exercise
that is desirable.
Habits of Eating Malnutrition is
sometimes due solely to poor eating
habits. If your child is a finicky eater
and refuses foods that he needs, es-
pecially milk and vegetables, consult
your physician as to how you may
help him overcome the habit
Correction of Physical Defects
Certain physical defects may inter-
fere with child's nutrition and will
have to be corrected before the child's
condition improves. A careful physical
examination by a physician will be
necessary to discover these defects.
