Saved 10000 Pounds Of Aluminium
In q Month

rHE Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Com
y pany recently began saving
aluminium scrap, with a ven
geance. During one month the
company reclaimed enough alu-
minum-120 600 pounds to build
ten large twin-engincd Army
bombers.
This is more per year than the
whole state Of New York re-
covered in the much-publicized
aluminium drive when housewives
were asked 10 give the Govern
ment their old pots and pans.
Moreover. this aluminium was
just a drop in the bucket for dur

manager. the mixed scrap runs
the gauntlet of great magnetic
separators which pick out all fer
rous type-magnetic metals.
What remains goes into a melt
ing pot and pure aluminium and
pure copper are first separated.
All the rest Of the metals are die
vided into a large family of alloys
or mixtures OF metals. Each
batch is tested in every way to
see just how much of what metals
it contains, and these alloys, cast
into ingots. are properly marked
for future use.
Great gas-air furnaces, like
teakettles, are the melting pots
which blend the alloys together.

ar MIGHT seem to the average
citizen that scientists could
find much better ways of
spending their time and their tai
ents than in making oversize
models of little insects. Skeptics
might well wonder, for example
why months Of time and several
thousands OF dollars should be
spent making likeness of the
flea 100 times as, big as the
original pest
There is more than meets the
eye, however, in such shenanigans
and such models do something
besides give visitors To natural
history museums something in
teresting and unusual to look at.
For example, an entomologist
studying a monster model of
flea can see just exactly how the
dangerous nuisance is put to-
gether, why it can jump so far
and bite so hard.
The flea is one of mankind's
most numerous insect enemies
and a careful study of his ply
sique and his armament should
make it easier to defeat him in
the expensive battle against pes
thence and disease.
The photographs on this page
were made in the Geological In
stitute at the University of Paris
shortly before the outbreak of
the current war. They show
heroic models of three of the
worst pests that add to mans
troubles on this planet-the flea,
the mosquito and the fly.
Such models require the ,ex-
pert services of scientists with re-
markable artistic ability. The
original insect has to be studied
long and carefully and in minute
detail This involves considerable

sketches. Thousands of fine and

be taken.

dowed the pestifero mosquito
Under the microscope il was
found that the average mosquito
has about $500 scales anc. some
thing like 5000 bristles.
An aviation engineer, studying
the finished model. might be able
to see why the tiny MOSQUITO is
such an efficient flier and such
an artful dodger until its needle
like singer is stuck into human
arm or leg.
Making the model OF the COM
mon housefly is a major under
taking because the insect is ex-
tremely complicated in structure,
particularly because it has null
tiple eyes. The proboscis, or
snout, of the all-too-familiar
housefly is, when enlarged. not
unlike the elephants trunk. But
it is much more important to
scientists, TO doctors and to SAM
tary engineers, because it is an
instrument through which cpl
denies of disease can be, and are,
widely spread.
The American Museum of Nat
ural History in New York City
has financed the making of many
such models as those shown on
this page and the study of those
models by scientists especially in

That Americans are becoming
increasingly conscious of their own
country is confirmed by the many
requests for books about the States.

United States that come to the
Central Library, Eighth and K

One of the most comprehensive
recent surveys of the American
scene is the American Guide

Project, which, when completed
next summer, will cover every
State as we'll as the District of CO.
lumbia, Alaska and Puerto Rico.
Each volume collects facts of his
tory, architecture, points of in
terest. folklore, industry, trans
portation and so on" In addition
to the State and regional guides,
there are guides to the larger cities.
Those covering New York, Phila-
delphia, New Orleans, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Portland and a
number of others are now in print.
In the Rivers of America" series
(Which is not associated with the
Federal Writer'S Project, there are
such titles as The Hudson" by
Carl GARNER; The Sacramento"
by Julian Dana. and The Brandy
wine" by H. S. Candy. The au-
thors have caught the flavor of the
region and the romance of the
countryside through which each
river flows.
In the recently launched Sea

titles, The Port of Gloucester by
J. B, Connolly, and "Harbor of the

The Fortunes of Richard
Mohony
By Henry Handel Richardson
NetD York. Readers Club.

By Henry Handel Richardson.
Ne1D York: Readers Club.
The Readers Club is a recently
formed organization which has for
its purpose to republish good books
which on their original publication
failed to win just applause. This
is a good idea. But, as with any
idea, the practical measure of its
goodness will lie in the judgment
of its sponsors. And, in the case
of the present volume, it is i'm
possible for the reviewer to feel
that these sponsors have made the
happiest possible selection.
The Fortunes of Richard Ma
hony' is trilogy. three novels first
published over decade ago now
in one volume Australia Felix" "
THE Way Home" and Ultima
Thule" Henry Handel Richardson
is a pen name: the author Is Hen
rietta Richardson Robertson. The
trilogy deals with the fortunes Of
an Irish doctor who went out to
Australia in the days Of the gold
rush and was there overwhelmed
by circumstances.
It is fundamentally the old story
of the too sensitive man in brutal
and vulgar environment. From the
hero's youth to his death the story
goes on, uninterruptedly from one
novel to the next, piling up the de-
tails which show his unfitness for
a competitive life until he becomes
finally hopeless neurotic. In the
course of the work he makes for
tune in mining stocks of question
able value and seizes the oppor-
tunity thus given him to escape
from the hated gold country and
return home. But in the British
Isles he finds that his residence
abroad has marked him as Co
lonial" and quite cut him OF from
his former life. So back he goes
to Australia, to poverty and finally
death.
This dismal story is told through
the medium of an almost day-to-
day report on the doctors doings.
He marries early in the course of the
first volume, and thereafter his de-
cline Is traced in terms of his rela-
tions to his family and his neigh
bors, all of whom misunderstood
him and drive him further along
the road to desperation. The
minutiae of life in the crude min
ing towns, the brashness of the
pioneer customs, the constant shock
of frontier vulgarity upon a thin
skinned nature-these make up the
story. They are all presented with
a steel-engraving sort of accuracy,
sharp to the last line and shadow
and completely cold and colorless.
More than this, there is solemn
sententiousness in the authors ap-
proach which can be described only
as mid-Victorian.
The reviewer would say that the
work deserves admiration for its
faithful presentation of a mans
deterioration and it's painstakingly
exact pictures of Australia's pioneer
society. But admiration Is not love,
and the sad fact is that practically
nobody is going to love this novel.

williamsburg, Old and New

By Hildeoarde HaUthorne.
Illustrated by E. H. Suydam.
Ne1D York: d. Appleton-Cen-
tury Co.
The late E. H. Suydam had no
equal in this country as a book
illustrator. His drawings for the
Appleton Century books on Ameri-
can cities s. Washington, Boston,
Chicago, Los Angeles, San Fran
cisco, Detroit, etc.-are we'll known.
But none of these cities suited his
particular talent so much as did the
little town which was once the
capital of the Old Dominion and
which has been restored to its origi-
nal beauty in recent years. There
are about three dozen etchings of
Williamsburg in this book, and they
are the most successful yet made
there.
The book is not primarily a
guide; Miss Hawthorne tells the
by now we'll known history of the
Colonial capital in some detail and
with considerable Interpretation
and comment, which should be
read at leisure. Her text is lively
and dependable. But it is the Suy-
dam etchings which give Williams

value. E. T.
