Oldest Mahogany
Woodwork

Insofar as records are available,
the beautifully carved mahogany
woodwork in the cathedral at Santo
Domingo is the oldest now in exist
ence. The Bishops throne and the
altar are in perfect condition after
400 years in the tropics which are
notoriously destructive to wood.

Even though the cosmetic firms

stick to contrast with their current
skin tones. And only red will do.
So we get our red-a lovely clear,
true, red-without the slightest sug-

This red is the dark horse in the
Gpstick palette. No one thought it

When you wear the softer summer
colors such as blues, roses, yelloWs
and hlacs, by all means rouge your
lips and cheeks and paint your nails
with one of the new rose shades. The

On the other hand, some of the
worst drivers we know are boys and
girls in Martha's crowd. ANY ride
with them is guaranteed to produce
gray hairs. They care as little for
the nerves of their passengers as for
those of pedestrians or other motor
lists. Their automobile manners are
atrocious, and their technique is
worse.
We all can't be top-rank drivers,
any more than we all can be Olympic
swimmers or Davis Cup tennis stars.
Your ability behind the wheel of
a motor car depends great deal
on certain physical and nervous

reaction time" and so on. But
within limitations, we all can learn
to handle a car with reasonable
safety and comfort for ourselves, our
passengers and other drivers.
It's chiefly a matter of using our
heads. And it's a more important
part of Goth century manners than
knowing which fork to use, or when
to take lady's arm. Nobody's going
to end up cold and stiff in a ditch
If you use the wrong fork.
We don't need to catalog all the
driving sins-you see most of them
every time you ride around the
block. There are the road hogs, the
speed maniacs, the weavers, the
cutter the hand signal-for-
getters, the red light-runners. And
they aren't all young people. by any
means. In fact, older drivers COM
NIT most of the faults of freshman
motorists. and a few absent-minded
ones Of their own.
Don't Be AdOlescent
When Driving.
But we do want to point out that
youthful high spirits can make mo-
torlng pretty unpleasant business
if you let them get out of hand. If
you haven't got over the adolescent
urge to act smart and show off
you'd better keep out of the drivers
seat.
An automobile has four wheels. all
of which are meant to be used when
rounding corners. Loud squealing
when you make a turn may be a
sign of soft tires-but it's more likely
to be the symptom of a soft head.
Short, mad dashes down the

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Far down under the earth-in
many places. if not all-there is
extremely hot rock. It is so hot
that 1t is molten.
From time to time, the molten
rock breaks through the crust OF
the earth, and overflows. Then we
say we have a flow of "lava," an
eruption of a volcano.
Yesterday I told something about
the rocks made when lava hardens
Today I wish to tell of hard rock
which has been formed by lava
under the earth. I am thinking of
granite.
Granite seems to have come from
molten rock which rose some dis
lance but could not get clear
through the earth's crust. It found
huge pockets between layers of
other kinds of rock, and pushed
into them with great power. Slow
ly but surely this lava sometimes
called magma hardened and
formed granite.
Geologists tell us that vast
amount of granite were made mil
lions of years ago. They say there
has been plenty of time for wind
and rain and other forces of Nature
to wear away rock layers above the
granite. That is one way they ex-
plain why we so often find it at
the surface of the earth.
Another way to explain 1t is by
the folding of layers of rock. For
zone reason or another, the surface

while 1t is greenish, and it may
be nearly white. A salt-and-pepper
appearance is common, white
background spotted with black.
Among the important granite
quarries on this continent are those
in British Columbia, Quebec and
Nova Scotia. Massachusetts,, Ver-
mont, California and North Caro-
lima have large granite quarries, and

State.
Granite is q fine stone for build
ing. 1t is perhaps as close to a
"rock Of ages" as can be OBJ
tanned. Public buildings and great
bridges are likely to have granite
blocks in them. An Office building
in Chicago has 18 columns of
highly polished granite. Each COL
umn weighs 81 tons.
The olden Egyptians had a gran
lite quarry at Syene, not a great
distance from the Nile. It is a
wonder how they were able to split
up such hard rock to make blocks
and columns of even size. They
even cut words in some of the
granite columns.
