Variety of Uses Found
for Output of Beeswnx

Beeswax, the main by-product of
honey, also has wide variety of
uses. In addition to its extensive
use in manufacturing church cere-
monial candles it is employed in
making wax polishes, modelling
wakes, ointments, certain types of
paints and inks, etc. In early times
when the chief source of artificial
light was the candle, says Pathfind-
er Magazine, the beeswax candle
was much preferred to tallow one
because of its higher melting point
and the fact that it gave off little
odor.
The high commercial value of
beeswax as the base of wax pol
ishes is due to its fine texture and
this has been known to the Old
world for long time. Many Euro
pean and japanese wakes are still
derived from this source.

Yaw-Heel Is What Makes
Big Ocean Vessels Roll

The use of stabilizers in holding
ship at even keel under the
varying conditions of the ocean
make it possible to measure waves
with greater accuracy than ever be-
fore and to separate and measure
the comparative force and effects
of four different motions of the ship
that is, pitching, rolling, yawing
and heeling,' says an article in the
Travel Agent.
It was ascertained that the aver
age storm waves on the North At
lantic vary in length from 200 to 900
feet, and that, even in storms of
hurricane force, waves are not OBJ
served to exceed 600 feet in length.
1t was determined that, both in roll
ing and pitching, large angles of
motion were built up by groups of
wave forces rather than by the force
of any one particular wave.
The yaWing which results from a
following sea, it was ascertained,
consists of an alternate swing on the
stern from port to starboard and
vice versa, under the influence of
the waves, the bow being a relative
ly steady point, and the yawing mo-
tion acting as lever whose fulcrum
is close to the bow.
With yawing comes heeling. The
same wave from the port side which
causes the ship to roll to starboard
also causes the ships stern to
move to starboard, thus yaWing the
ship to port, the centrifugal forces
SO generated also causing the ship
to heel to starboard.
1t was determined that what is
often mistaken for excessive rolling
was the combination of the roll, aug
mented by the yaw-heel. The roll
never before had been distinguished
from the heel because of its SINH
larity.

Mae Vests Cirth
 Control Gives Svelte Figure
( By Robbin Coons )

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, R-You can look for a new Mae West in Every Days Holiday We'll I mean the old Mae will seem new, so long has it been since she sli- thered and swiveled and brought hip-hip hoorays through "She Done Him Wrong"
 She's 10 pounds lighter, and an extra 10 pounds going round a curve can upset a career if not an applicant. She's svelte, that's it, and for the first time in mon- ths, watching her work, you feel complacently sure that the retain ing walls will hold.
 Macs a woman, and any wo- man likes to be told she has that Gibson-girl figure back again. Mae was pleased to be told, and if the censors will permit might add that she practically blushed with pleasure.
 In Ermine Again
 Does it show that much?" she said. How'd l do it? Oh, I al- ways go in trainin' before a pie ture. Ridin', hikin', bicyclin' And cut down on my eatin'. Eat the same things, but not so much"
 Mae was sWathed in sweeping g hour-glass of crimson with bead ed doo-dads on it. Her picture hat was smothered in red plumes. A high lace choker clutched at her neck, and her ermine wrap, gaudy with tails, swaggered in solently as she glided into scene with Charlie Butterworth. But terworth is the Butler of Gra- mercy Park Millionaire of 1899. Mae thinks he's the boss.
 Up to Old Tricks
 When Butterworth exits, Mae holds the cameras eye for a full two months, shunting around and giving things the eye. It's pam tomine in the Western style-un- censorable. Then she has this cracking bit of Brooklynese: Mot a thing in this joint worth less than a hundred bones.
 Mae said she was glad to be back in bustles and plumes. She said, You can do things with 'em get a sort of feelin' out of the period" Which I take it, both from Mae and from the script, means that she will be up to her old tricks, the kind she used be- fore she made the mistake of go- ing modern.
