Read Print Through Nickel

Read Print Through Nickel
Nickel has been made in such thin
sheets that it is possible to read
print through five thicknesses OF
the metal placed few millimeters
apart. These nickel sheets were dis
played at the Royal Albert hall,
London, during recent exhibition.
The thin sheets were made by cleo
tro-depositing nickel upon copper
and then plating copper upon nickel
Ia nickel sandwich. The copper
was then dissolved away, leaving
the nickel. Copper was required on
both sides to equalize the stresses
caused during the dissolving OF the
copper, which might have ruptured

can.

Locusts Delay African Trains

Locusts Delay African Trains
Locust caused such delays to rail-
way trains in East Africa that locust
boys were employed. Millions OF the
insects swarmed the tracks at times
frequently stopping trains when the
crushed bodies made the rails 50
slippery that the engine wheels
could not get traction. Formerly To-
Gust boys were employed by railways
to brighten away the insects as the
trains went up grade. One boy ran
about thirty yards ahead Of the en-
CINE, another twenty yards, and the
third ten yards. Each swayed tree
branches or flags to frighten away
the locusts. The methed was eff
fective and prevented the engine
from Sailing.

A Beauty Hint

The small, light summer freckle
clears away with summers passing.
Large, dark, diSfiguring freckles are
slower to go, and some just won't
go. Lemon Juice Is often enough to
bleach out the light freckles. The
heavy ones call for stronger ONT
ments and bleaches. Be very care
full with freckle creams. Your best
protection is the complete reliability
Of the manufacturer.

CHINESE RETREATING
 FROM CHAPEL SECTOR
Fierce Combats Take Place Tremendous Fires Reported Started

SHANGHAI, Oct 27.-The Unit ed States Marines have been ordered to open fire in self defense on any airplane attacking them or attack ing noncombatants in their sector in the International Settlement.
 Admiral Henry Yarnell, Comman- der of the Asiatic Fleet and aboard the US.S. Augusta, anchored in the Whangpoo river, has authorized the defensive measure as fierce fighting, intensified by the retreat of the Chinese troops from. the Cha pei sector to new defense lines, ragged menacingly around the Inter- national Settlement.
 Fires Are Set
 Tremendous fires have been set by the embattled Chinese and Jap anese. Fighting ragged through the Chapel native quarter today which is north of Shanghai. The fighting even penetrated the International Settlement at one point.
 The forces however quickly with drew from the forbidden section.
 Chinese aircraft raided the Yang tsepoo section, dropping incendiary bombs and these started more fires.
 Warships Bombard
 The combat brought in full play the full power of the Japanese war ships in the Whangpoo River and land batteries fired steadily until late this afternoon.
 Admiral Yarnells action in his new defensive order grew out of repeated attacks of Japanese fliers on Chinese positions along the edges of the International Settle ment. These raids reached a climax last Sunday when Japanese fliers machine gunned British troops and a party of British and American horseback riders on the Keswich road. One British soldier was killed.
 RETREAT PREPARED MOVE
 HAWKING, Oct. 27. = General Chiang Kai Shek, commenting on the retreat of the Chinese in the Chapel sector declared that the Shanghai operations were never en- visaged as part of China's real de- fense plans, because the nations defenses are to the westward where preparations have been made for the advancing invaders.
