Laboratory UnpretentiOus
I passed the laboratory three
times before I finally decided
through the process of elimination
that this squat, corrugated iron
building, little more pretentious
than a good-sized shed, must be
the place. I walked in unchal-
lenged and in a bare little office,
sans outer guard of secretaries, was
DIR. Herty, and I found him just
as patient and gracious as every
one else has found him who has
business at his little plant.
The fame of this plant and DR..
Herty's work has spread over the
world-to North Europe, South
Africa, Australia-but the visitor
will never know it from outside
appearances. There is no sign to
tell in glazing letters that this is
the laboratory which has demon
strated that common pines can be
made into newsprint and higher
grade papers at practically half
the cost of manufacture from the
rapidly disappearing spruce, and
the building itself certainly will
not inspire the visitor to wonder.
Yet this little building has been
magnet which has drawn those
interested in the most remarkable
development in paper making in a
hundred years from over the
world to see the results for them-
selves. The simplicity of the
structure is marked with pur-
pose.
"Our whole determination was
to use the few funds we could get
our hands on to buy experimental
machinery and not to waste a
penny of it on ornate Office furni-
ture. Nearly everyone who visits
us asks with trace of disappoint-
ment: is this the placer But our
building is admirably adapted to
our use," DIR. Herty explains with
| smile.

The other day it was a callipyg-
ian contest. "Callipygian" is a
word in good standing, of Greek
derivation, and means shapely--
ah-hips. Well, not exactly hips,
but the region where ladies used
to wear bustles.
Recently some etymologist
among the corset people discover
ed "callipygian," and they have
been employing it proftably ever
since as a descriptive of what cor
sets do to the feminine form.
They have, however, corrupted
the definition to flat rear pro-
flea liberty which probably
would have distressed the ancient
Greeks.

The flying wedge was another
device employed by the gridiron

the football players would rush

Before the Industrial Training

they were old enough to handle a
baseball. Faded Autographs in
attics or old barrooms show the
immense popularity of the baseball
player. They were then, as now,
the idols of boyhood.
With only sporadic coaching by
interested oldsters and with uni
forms borrowed from big brothers
or with none at all, the baseball
team made its debut in 1895, only
a few months after the pupils had

basketball teams that consistently
