WOOD HELD VALUABLE
AS GOLD TO CHEMISTS
Germany Turns to Resource in
Developing Product for
Motor Fuel

In his address to the recent annual
meeting Of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association. J. W..
Watzek, jr., retiring president, quoted
DR.. C. M. A. Stine, vice president Of
the Du Pont Co., as stating that more
attention is being given today to the
chemistry of wood than to the chem
istry of steel and that wood to the
chemists has literally become more
valuable than gold"
Watzek mentioned the fact that in
developing a fuel to take the place Of
costly imported gasoline, Germany,
virtually without any petroleum re-
sources, has turned to raw material
which she has in abundance-wood.
Wood gas for internal combustion en-
gines Is the result, and ''it costs about
third as much in Germany to
operate automobiles on wood gas a
compared to gasoline operation"

FARM REALTY HIGHER
IN ALL BUT z STATES
National Boards Secretary Cites
Reports of Increases in Con-
trast to Last Year.

In every State except two farm real
estate values average higher than in
1885, according to Herbert U. Nelson,
secretary of the National Association
Of Real Estate Boards.
Taking the average value an acre
in each State for the years 19l2-19l4
as the base for measurement, today's
farm real estate values are up ! point
over last year in 10 States, 2 points
in II States, up 3 points in States,
up 4 points in 8 States, points in
3 States, 6 points in 3, and up 10
points in l state, North Carolina. Mr..
Nelson said that in only two States
were values merely on last years aver
age and In these States prices had
risen last year to Ill per cent and
1o1 per cent, respectively, of the pre-
war level.

The Forest Products Laboratory Of
the United States Forest Service at
Madison. Wis, ceaselessly devotes It's
attention to the interesting problems
OF the physical and chemical adapta-
ton and conversion Of wood to the
multitudinous requirements Of modern
life. 1t is said that there are more
than 5000 different classes Of articles
now made diSectly or indirectly from
wood cellulose and that they embrace
some 100000 items. A fact which is
drawing chemical research into the
cellulose field is that trees and wood
are spontaneously reproducible and
therefore practically inexhaustible. At
the international conference on timber
utilization held in Vienna in March
it was declared that wood is becoming
the most important industrial raw ma
terial after iron and coal.

WELL WATER USED
FOR HOME COOLING
Simple Equipment Provides
Lower Temperatures
for Dwellings.

House cooling during the Summer
months by means Of well water has
been found practical in many parts
of the United States, the Plumbing
and Heating Industries Bureau re-
ports.
The equipment required Is COM
paratively simple, consisting only OF
q pump, q filter, a blower fan, q cool
ing coil, q thermostat and ducts lead
ing from the cooling unit TO the
rooms.
The heart of the cooling system Is
the pump which draws the water
from Natures storehouse OF GOODNESS.
The air to be cooled Is drawn from
the rooms and forced through q filter
which removes all dust, dirt and
pollen. The powerful blower fan then
forces the cleaned air through coil
Of pipes containing the cold well water
Here the air Is dehumidified and Its
temperature Is reduced. It Is then
forced to the first floor rooms.
A room thermostat provides auto
matte operation for the cooling sys-
tenn. When the temperature rises
above any predetermined point, say
IS degrees, the pump begins passing
cold water through the coils and the
fan begins to force cooled filtered all
to the living portions Of the house.
Water from the coils. which hai
taken heat from the indoor air, may
be discharged into the sewer or used
to irrigate the garden or the lawn, OF
to fill outdoor pools.
When the indoor temperature has
been lowered sufficiently the thermo-
stat automatically shuts on the far
and pump.
The system Is very quiet and in.
| expensive in its operation. Some
home owners have found that the cost
for the entire cooling seasn is only SIS

1ation Of Acknowledging
System Later.

Families who want the homes they
are planning to be suitable for air con-
ditioning now or later can make them
so at low cost by using q new type Of
insulating gheEthing and q new insu-
lating lath Just put on the market by
building material manufacturer.
The new products are called laminated
waterproofed insulating sheathing and
insulating stiff f-lath.
When the sheathing Is used on one
side Of the framework and the lath on
the other, they provide ample insula-
ton and yet leave the space between the
framing members open so that the
wall can breathe" This breathing

Among the outstanding awards

which was originally given two years

1t was won by M. P. Candy. This
years winner will have his name en-
graved on the cup, along with the
others.
This year the Post will also give

handy for the boys to go to Des
Moines or to Iowa City for those
weekend parties that are so pop
ular down there. I'm humm.
In closing, I'd like to suggest
that the fraternities start thinking
about plans for the weekend of the
Iowa-Minnesota game up here next
fall. It may be the Homecoming
game for Minnesota. Even if it
isn't, there will be loads and loads
of out-of-towners here, and es-
pecially Iowa folks. There should
be greenhouses and cocktail parties
for Friday and Saturday afternoon
before and after the game, and
there should be a large dance on
Saturday night. The Minnesota
Alphas should make a special at
tempt to entertain the Iowa guests,
as the Iowa City Alphas have been
so hospitable and generous in their
entertaining of out-of-towners
There shouldn't be any last minute
planning for something like this
as only lot of confusion and con-
fiict will result. There will be the
very major problem of housing SO
many out-of-town people. Folks
from St. Louis, Kansas City and
Chicago will be in the majority,
imagine. Some of these people
will be writing up here very early
in the fall to make reservations
and arrangements. It's not toe
early now to be talking over pos
sible plans, for the Homecoming
committee at the University will
soon be starting their arrange.

Personalities
By Nellie DOdsOn

First of all-Earl K. Shamwell
was just telling gosh-awful
whopper when he said he was goin'
to get married on April Is. And so
/ shall be forced to exchange my
congratulations for a swift kick
in the britches aimed in the general
direction of my fran, Earl. BUT
I'm willing to bet that whenever
and if he does decide to take on a
spouse it'll happen on the spur of
the moment, and surprise him as
much as it will everyone else.
Whatever lady marries Earl E. will
have the opportunity of becoming
a social belle back in Washington,
D. c., the Shamwell home town.
And believe me, there's a heck of
a lot of difference in being a social
belle in Washington, D. c., and be-
ing one around these two towns.
Down there you have to have con-
nections yourself, or marry into a
family with some, or have friends
in the social swim-or else you'll
be on the outside lookin' in,
brothers and sisters.
Wowie! That Kappa party at
Sterling Club last Monday night
was the best dawggone party that
has been given around here in
twenty-beg podden, four, three,
well, a couple of years at least. =.
Everybody had a truckin' good

thea Douglass trucked, Adele Ora
ham trucked, Ed Doty trucked, Don

Personalities lost all her dignity
and had a good time for a change.
1t was that kind of a party.
The right people were there, the
spirit and THE SPIRITS were
there, the music was hotter than
hot. "Popeye" of the Rock CAM
band and Forrest Dent of the Ray
Dysart crew, and some easy-on-the-
eyes lad I'd never seen before fur
nished the moo-sic. For change
the musicians didn't look bored;
they looked as if they were enjoy
ing themselves as much as the
guests. Earl Onque was self
appointed Master of Ceremonies,
Official Greeter, and General Host.
That is, until he got leetle mite
noisy and Wife Alice shushed him
down. But that's they way the
Kappa spirit acts on people. Every
one wants to make a lotta noise
and have a breakin' down good
time. p. Bootely P. Brown and Ed
Salter did a barn dance or a Tur-
key-In-The-Straw number. There
should be a law passed around
here that no party can be given
without Ed and Bootely. Bootely
is beginning to act like he used to
back in the College Inn days. The

Monday night to make it a regular
