How Bronze Statues Are Made

In making a bronze statue the sculp- tor first models the figure in clay. A gelatin mold is then made of the orig inal and a wax model made by pour ing heated wax into the assembled gel atin- meld. A plaster mold is then made around the WAX figure, pipes be- ing left in the plaster 50 that the wax may melt and run oft when placed in . kiln and baked. The plaster mold is then placed in . pit and packed selidly with earth, and molten bronze, at a. temperature of 1900 degrees, is poured into 1t. When cool the bronze statue is finished. blow torch and liquid chemicals being used to obtain the desired color effects. There are several methods of casting the final statue; but this is typical.

 The flbers of your sponge are the bones of this elastic creature which once lived in the Mediterranean, or on the shores of the West Indies or Aus tralia. It was, kept alive by currents of water flowing through 1t, bringing 1t oxygen and minute particles of food. while washing away waste matter.

HOW:
FoREsr FIRES ARE FOUGHT

FOREST FIRES ARE FOUGhL IN TALL TIMBER C0UNTRY.-- Usually forest fires are fought by cutting a line about them and dig eing a trench down to the mineral soil in front of the flames. says Charles I.athrop Pack of the Amer ican, Tree association. This iss called trenching. Once the flames reach the trench, they have no fuel on which to feed and so go out. But It is not always as simple as this.
 Frequently fires jump across the best fire lines that man can. make, and under heavy winds sparks have been known to leap over quarter of a mile and start fires
 far in the rear of the fighters. In some regions airplanes patrol the
 forests in search of fire and often aid by giving the forest officers
 bird's-eye view of large fires dur
 ing the battle. New roads and
 trails are being built into the re
 gions of greatest fire danger.
 Each year the states and cOun-
 ties are protecting their forest
 lands against fire with greater ef- fectiveness. In regions where
 most of the timber lands are owned by farmers, the timber owners are
 each supplied with fire extinguish- CTS and other f1re-fghting tools and are expected to join together In fighting any fire that breaks out In the woodlands in their neighbOr. hood.
 Each timber owner is thus. in- sured the protection afforded by the joint efforts of his nelghbOrs if a. fire should happen to break out on his property. Where large tracts of forest lands are owned by timber companies as for example in the northwest, several of these companies often join together for the mutual protection of their tim Der.

How "Whoopee" Started
 in Its Modern Meaning

Started in Montreal and caught un by the American press, there ffourishes a lively discussion of "whoopee." the word.
 Is it slang? Not at all. the papers declare. pointing out that the good old word used more than three centuries ago by Massinger and Dekker In their play The Virgin Martyr" which con tains the line, Nay. lady, for my part, I'll cry. wiloopee"
 Well, so 1t was. That very line Is quoted in the Standard Dictionary. But no one in, those ancient days ever spoke of making whoOpee." and the same authority defines it as originally "a cry of exultation or urging"-a lit tie like our modern WOW" or 'atta- boy," we assume, but, nevertheless, quite conventional. Reading on, how ever. we find 1t recognized as slang in it's secondary meaning, and when you speak of making wfoopee" you can nc longer claim to be keeping within the hounds of Seventeenth-century English.
 Photographers are still wondering bow the word got to America, but it seems clear that cowboys were the first to use 1t here, and that circus people took 1t up But even then il remained for New York to transform "whOopee" into a noun and add 1t to our vocabulary of alcoholic slang Literary Digest
