vine, stripping the walls at intervals,
will cut it up too much. Suggest
you use this paper in panels, or on
only one wall or cut out in medallion
effect on a plain painted wall. The
vine would be delightful around
doors and windows and the other
motifs in cutouts for wall decora-
ton. Or, you could place a panel
at the head of the bed and another
on the opposite wall. Perhaps the
window wall might be done in the
paper, with other walls plain and
cutouts to repeat the design. There
are many delightful decorator tricks
you may do with wallpaper which
are even more interesting than four
papered walls.
Dear Miss Novel;: We built q
house this last winter and left plain
plaster walls with the idea that we
would paint them ourselves this
summer, as we both enjoy welding
q paint brush. Since then we have
seen some stippled walls that please
us and have decided that is the
finish we want. Would it be pos
sible for us to do this, or does II
demand special handling? Any in
formation you could give us would
be very helpful. CD.
Answer-Your walls should be
prime coated first in the approx
mate color of the finish coat. and
this is done in the usual way. Paint
used for stippling is very much
thicker than ordinary paint, about
the consistency of whipped cream
Unless you have had experience
mixing paint I would suggest you
get it ready mixed. 1t is ther
painted on as usual and in about
10 minutes is rolled with a small
hand roller, covered with a fabric
which looks like carpet. This is what
gives the stippled effect. 1t vii
take a bit of practice until you gel
a uniform effect, but you can prac-
tice in the closets until you have
mastered the art. You are wise in
selecting such a good wall finish
and am sure the completed effect
will please you for many years.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I would like
to have my dining room table top
refinished in one of the heat-proof
liquid proof finishes, but I under

would look with my mahogany

rubbed surface. Would you advise
me about this and also tell me about
how much it should cost? REV.

to about 200 degrees centigrade-so-
called shock cooling"
This Is where the difficulty and
danger have been encountered in
the past. The element is extremely
reactive, especially with oxygen or its
compounds. and the cooling process
must be almost instantaneous or
the reaction reverses and the end
products are magnesium oxide and
carbon. At the Austrian plant
hydrogen gas was used to shock cool
the magnesium.

Mines has set up it's own expert

pound of metal per hour, where
this shock-cooling is accomplished

Secret Magnesium
Extraction Process
Austrian Method
Expected to Boost Store
Of VituI War Metal
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.


Two years ago last August a gi-
gantic explosion rocked the Aus
trtan town of Radenthein.
A mysterious war plant estab-
hshed there a few months before
by the Reich had blown up, killing
several of its workers.
Early this year it was rumored
about Washington that an Aus
trian metallurgist named Fritz
Hansgrig was in the United States
with the secret of extracting from
rock a metal for which the demand
had risen 1O0-fold in a few years
the vital war material. magnesium.
The Radenthein plant had been
set up to test out this process. After
the wreck the works were aban-
doned, temporarily at least, for lack
OF structural steel.
DR.. HanSgirg, it is learned, now is
at Permanente, Calf, where plant
to carry out essentially the same
process has been erected by the
Todd-California Shipbuilding Co.,
financed in part by the Reconstruct
ton Finance Corp. as a public serv-
Ice.
Produced at Two Plants.
The Hansgirg process, 1t is ex-
peeted, will increase enormously
Americas magnesium supply. es-
pecially with the improvements
which have been made in it since
the Austrian fiasco. Magnesium, like
aluminium, to which it is closely
related, is one of the most abundant
metals in the earth's crust. But,
also like aluminium, 1t never occurs
In a natural state.
Up 10 the present the entire
American supply. approximately 80
100000 pounds in 1910, has been
produced by one company, the Dow
Chemical Co., in two plants One,
at Midland, Mich, has extracted
the metal from brine wells. The
other, set up last year at Freeport,
Tex, extracts it from sea water,
processing approximately 100000
600 gallons of water a day. The
entire output of both plants is de-
voted to national defense and the
company is working in close CO.
operation with the Government.
But it so happens that sea water
and brine are rather poor sources
of magnesium. In the former it
occurs in a concentration of about
one-eighth of per cent, in the latter
of less than per cent. Compared
with these. there is concentra-
ton of nearly 40 per cent in the
mineral brucite. of which there are
enormous deposits in Nevada, and
of about % per cent in magnesite,
of which there are large supplies in
California, Washington and Nevada.
Electrolysis is Easier.
IT is relatively easy, however, to
extract it from liquid medium by
process of electrolysis developed
by the Dow Co. During the same
process several valuable by-products
are obtained from sea water, espe-
cially bromine. These make the
operations practical.
The Hansgirg method, now being
financed by the Government in the
Permanente plant, is known as an
electrothermic process and is based
on an entirely different principle.
1t extracts magnesium alone and by
the first of next year is expected to
be producing about 24000,0 900 pounds
year. Magnesite will be brought
from Nevada. This must be vapor-
lied in an electric furnace at a
temperature of about 1000 degrees

WAR VETERANS IN
 STORMY DEBATE
Finally Passed Resolution to Support American
 Way of Living

Philadelphia, Aug. 29.-(UP)-The Veterans of Foreign Wars after a spirited debate last night adopted by exclamation a resolution endors- ing measures to defend and per- petuate the American way of life from any and all aggreSSorS."
 Delegates to the 42nd annual en- campment previously had adopted and then tabled 8 resolution flatly endorsing President RooSevelt'S for eign policy and condemning isola- tionists. It was charged that this resolution had been "railroaded' through on a voice vote.
 The session became so boisterous that the convention was cleared ot all non-delegates. During the dis cusSion, William J. Grace, Chicago attorney, attempted to have seated Earl Southard, Illinois department commander, who had been suspend ed on charges of "disloyalty" for his activities with the Keep America Out of War" committee.
 John L. Sullivan, Phoenix, Ariz judge advocate of the 'court mar tial," said the report on Southard had been tutrned over to National Commander Joseph c. Menendez New Orleans and there the matter rested.

gineers, with the possibility that changes may be made in the orig inal layout of the runways.
 A gigantic earth-moving job, ,n- volying more than 600.000 cubic yards of cut and fill, the non-labor cost of developing the Willimantic airport under the original plan is far higher than at first estimated.
 Work at the state-owned airport in Groton, where the useable area of the field has been more than doubled, is drawing to close. With the U. s. Army planning to lease the field for pursuit squadron train ing, there is a possibility of an ad- ditional project for construction of runways. &
 Paving is to be started Septem. Der 2 on both of the rinways ci the airport at Fort H. c. Wright Fishers Island, and it is expected that they will be finished by Oc- tober 3l.

BUSY SEASON FOR
 YOUTH ORCHESTRA
All=C Connecticut Group 10 Make Concert Tour Under IVA Auspices

The All-C Connecticut Youth Sym phony orchestra, sponsored by the National Youth Administration, is preparing for busy schedule of concerts that will be presented dur ing the coming fall and winter months following a very successful concert tour this past summer in several cities throughout the state. Richard A. Barrett, IVA admins trator, announced today that the youth orchestra will again be un- der the direction of the noted sym phonic conductor, Edward Kreiner of Norwalk.
 The MA orchestra is composed of college, school and out-of-school youths between the ages of 16 and A, and are paid as part-time workers on the IVA program. The orchestra now numbers 45 young musicians drawn from various cities throughout the state, but Di- rector Kreiner said today many more youngsters will be given the opportunity of playing with the symphonic group by bringing the membership up to 100.
 Included in the concert plans for the coming season will be visits to to nearby army and navy pos-- and a series of radio -3,---.- s-..----s in the Pan- American broadcasts from New York. Many social groups and colleges are arranging for concerts by the youngsters in several cities where there are facilities for pre- senting large orchestras.

Oklahoma iCty, Okla, Aug. B. OP)- Charles A. Lindbergh and Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, address an America First Committee rally tonight in sandlot baseball park, and state police and deputy Sheriffs were asked to attend, lest an embarrassing incident occur.
 Lindbergh and Wheeler were speaking in the baseball park which is outside the city, because the city council denied them the use of the Municipal Auditorium. Five organi- cations, including two American Legion posts, petitioned the council to bar Lindbergh from speaking on public property.
 Twenty policemen and deputy SheriffS escorted him from the air. port when he arrived yesterday, and detectives guarded his hotel room last night.
 He called upon Gov. Leon Phillips shortly after he arrived and Phillips issued a statement calling upon the citizenry to refrain from "heckling or boisterous mob" spirit at the rally.
 A guard was expected to be fur nished Wheeler, who is scheduled to arrive this morning.
 Local America First committee of f1cials feared an incident and asked officers to attend the rally.

J. Kenneth Bradley Sees Big Opportunity Here to
 ''Swing VOtes"; Hard Work Means Victory

Democratic national administration has failed in defense efforts.
 Town Chairman Vernon L. Hall, Floyd Rasmussen and ex-Town Chairman J. Warren Upson also spoke. MT. Upson declared that it would be misfortunate if the Re- publicanS ceased to be an effective party of opposition in the city. "The party can win the election this fall if enough hard work is done, he said.
 State Chairman Bradley, in his address, declared that trouble mak- CTS" are not wanted in. the party. Party members, he said, will be ex- pected to support organization can- didates or they had better join some other party" This was talk en as a reference to plans by the local G. o. P. protest" group to oppose the organization in a prim- ary this year.
 Whatever ticket is selected should be backed by the rank and file, said MT. Bradley, and workers should seek to round up every posSlple vote.
 MT. Allyn criticized Gov. Hurley for the appointment of Col. Samuel H. Fisher as head of the state de- fense council, saying that General Sanford H. Wadhams should have been retained. He declared that only the watchfulness of the Republican majority in the House had prevent ed much foolishness and dangerous legislation from being adopted.
 It was announced that the town committee and district leaders will hold an outing Sept. at the home of Mrs. Harry w. Coe.
 The committee accepted the resignation of Treasurer George J. Scott, who has been ordered to ac- tive duty as a lieutenant at Fort Ethan Allen. He was given por- table radio as a farewell gift.

Appropriation Given
 Stratford Airport.
Two Other Cities Expect Federal Assistance in Deye
 Oping New Projects; U. s. to Take Over GrotOn

Bridgeport, Hartford and Wiln- mantle city officials and WPA en- gineers are drawing up new pro- jects for extension of the improve ments to municipal airportS made possible by the recent grants of the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
 VPA Administrator ward Staub, reviewing current and pro- posed new work on Connecticut's airports, pointed out today that the preparation of new projects is being speeded because the CAA has ruled that work must start with in 60 to 90 days.
 This means, he said, that il Bridgeport and Willimantic tn e local officials must clear up legal matters in regard to the acqulsi- tion of needed land within that time.
 Bridgeport has been granted $190,0OO = in addition to pre- vious grant of the same amount for the purpose of extending two of the three runways at its muni- cipal airport in Stratford from B. 800 to 4,000 feet.
 This $19O,0OO will be supplement- ed by WPA funds for labor and whatever additional funds the spon- sor may pledge. The amount 0f WPA and sponsor funds for Bridge port, and Hartford and Willimantic as well, has not been decided upon.
 Hartford's CAA grant is $65,0O0, to be used for the extension of the recently started north-south run way from 3,70O to 4,40O feet. Con- siderable additional work will prob- ably be made possible by the com- bined WPA-CAA allotment.
 For the Willimantic airport the CAA has provided $l85,000 toward the extension of the east = west landing strip to 4,000 feet and the paying of two runways.
 New Haven has also been given a CAA grant of $65 900, but city Of- ficials have not as yet indicated whether the further improvement O. the municipal airport at East Haven will be carried out under a WPA project or by private con- tract.
 Reviewing the work in progress at seven airports included in his agency's state program, WPA Ad- ministrator Staub said today that many of these projects will be com pleted early in the fall.
 At Bridgeport two 3,500-foot run- ways are already finished and 2,500 feet of the. third runway will be ready for use by October. A l,000- foot extension to the third land- ing strip is being built under the first $l90,00O CAA grant.
 At Brainard field, Hartford, the 4,700-foot blind landing" runway Is more than 75 per cent complete and will be finished within 10 work ing days. All of the stone base is down and the paving Is done on all but 1900 feet. The subgrade ex- cavation. on the new north-south runway, 3-700 feet, Is also done.
 With various difficulties all satts- fsctorily adjusted. paving Of the No. runway at. the New Haven airport is scheduled for completion next month, flnishing the current project.
 Problems prassnted by the nature of the terrain on which the Wil- iimantic airport is being c0nstruct- led ago being studied hy WrA en-
