THE paper consumption of any country is direct
of its state of civilization says Dir. Otto
Kress technical director of the Institute of Paper
Chemistry, located at Lawrence college, Appleton,
Wis. The United States, DR.. Kress hastens to add,
has the highest per capital consumption of paper in
the world varying from IT'S to 225 pounds of paper
products person year.
The pulp and paper industry is now the sixth
largest in the United States. he says
Development of wood pulps suitable for chemical
conversion into products like artificial silk cello
phane and acquerS. utilization of wood species, not
now employed perfecting of methods for increasing
the yield and quality of pulp and paper and finding
ways of overcoming stream pollution, the major
problems facing the industry, he says. These are
problems which the institute plans to study.
Surveying the growth of paper making, DR.. Kress
points out that it probably had its beginnings in
China. The Arabs learned it next, perhaps from
captured Chinese paper maker. 1t was brought into
Europe during the Moorish invasion of SPAIN
NEODERN methods begin with Louis Robert of
WI France who in 1900 conceived the idea of max
ing an endless web of paper by introducing water
suspension of pulp on to an endless moving belt OF
wire.
This invention was purchased by Henry and Sealy
Fourdriner of England, who developed the machine.
The process is still in today on the modern high
speed paper machine which is commonly referred TO
as the Fouroriner machine.
The first Fourdrinier machine introduced in the
United States appears to have been imported from
England in 1927 by H Barclay Of SaugertieS N. Y"

The Line Grows Wider

I SAW it last myself in the most unlikely of all
4 places and at 4 in the morning. This traverse
ran across the floor Of night club in New Jersey.
And in the stiffness of the night above the roar
of machinery this is singing line. Brother won't
you choose side" is the refrain which most con-
tinually it huns.
And Crocketts challenging chasm won't take Mo-
for an answer. Much less will it accept yes and
no" which is the more familiar rejonder.
I think chemical analysis of the line might
show acid component and of patience hardly a
trace. At any rate wherever the line appears you
may notice that it very quickly grows wider and
much deeper.
Men have been known to hang back because in
the beginning seemed such simple matter to step
across.
I'll do this later" they have said or Il want to
have time to think it over" And this is a strange
thing to say because you might suppose of

In the actual Alamo there seems to have been no
indecison. They all came with their heads
high and their banners flying. 1t is the better way.
Laggards have been compelled at times to leap for
their lives because what once little line now
had become broad ravne. And some have persisted
in the leap or best fallen into that deep pit which
is the narrow pasture Of all eternal neutrals

And these coins rafting together make the

Perhaps it doesn't matter very much because at
regular intervals the masters of the rich grazing

senator asserted that creation of
the board followed a recommen-
dalton of the American Bar Asso-

incorporated. But the American

under authority of the first spe-

diction. adjustments" of more
than a million dollars, involving
5000 persons, were made. Many OF
those whose assessments we're cut
would naturally remember who
was doing this for them.
The city challenged these adj
justments and held them invalid
but this came after the election.
Enough voters already had been
persuaded. The senator corrected
this question about the law at the
last special session through an act
permitting adjustments up to the
time that taxes are collected.
