Farm Products Play
Big Part in Making
of Modern Auto

II Can you find the part that
flax, hogs. corn, wheat, goats,
sugar cane, honey bees and cas-
tor oil play in the manufacture
of your car?
Not apparent TO the eye, per-
haps, each of these farm prod
ucts is used in the auto
factories. Henry Ford, an ardent
exponent of extensive use OF
farm products in industry, is
now trying TO extend the list
with the wide use of plastics.
But even now the Ford Com
-'pany uses every one of the
things named above. plus cot

SERNIcE INSURANCE

The medical stan at Mount Sinai
Hospital in creating a fund to as
sist families OF its members called
TO active Army duty. introduces a
plan that may well be considered
by other similar groups.
It provides that each stat mem
Der shall contribute a percentage
of his net income from medical
practice to the common fund. To
build a reserve, each will pay a
percentage OF his 1910 income in
monthly instal!ments, In addition
10 a percentage OF his 1871 income.
Payments from the fund will be
based on the number OF years since
the doctors graduation from med
ical school, without regard to his
military rank. The family will
get the money monthly. Payments
will continue six months after dis
charge from military duty or for
two years after death or total
disability during military service.
1t also has been agreed that doc
tors treating former patients OF
stan members in military service
will remit percentage OF the fees
collected from these patients to
the doctor in the Army. Trustees
OF the hospital will pay administra.
ton expenses, so all money collect
cd will 90 TO families OF men In
the Army.

FAMILY TRFES

Most people today are interested
only in making both ends meet,
but there are persons who spend
money In goodly sums on one end
their family beginnings.
Curiosity, social climbing and
vanity have made the building Of
family trees large and prosperous
industry. The high price on the
heads OF ancestors Is freely paid.
British genealogists, before the
war, prospered on the dollars Of
Americans with more money than
family knowledge. Few people
bother about their family trees un.
I'll they arrive financially. when
many go into the matter somewhat
deeply, particularly in a financial
way.
A genealogist writing his mem
oirs cites only one instance OF a
customer being elated over the dis
covery Of blacksheep in his family.
He had his family tree-gibeted
highwayman, sheep-stesler and all
Illuminated on vellum.
Family trees cost as much as
the genealogist can enveigle from
his client. In few OF them IL there
as much comfort as in a cord OF
fireplace wood.
Genealogy seems 10 be a futile
science or Industry, and yet such
things keep money in circulation
and make for prosperity.

MEMORY

A discovery that may explain the
mystery OF memory, showing 1t TO be
probably a reaction between differ
ent size molecules, comes from ex-
periments with rubber and glass,
called mechanical memory.
II rubber, for example, is twisted
in one direction and held SO for
about an hour, 1t afterward will
try to twist itself in that same
direction. IL will do this even after
having been twisted in the opposite
direction.
Glass does a similar thing with
electricity. 1t can be made to re
member" the direction of an electric
current, 80 that afterward It pre-
fers TO conduct electricity in the
remembered direction.
The explanation. as reported to
the American Ceramic Society by
DR.. Nelson w. Taylor, has been
discovered in the molecules and ions
of rubber and glass. Ions are mole
cules which have lost a bit OF their
matter and become electrically
alive.
There are many kinds and their
sizes differ. The large ones require
q longer time TO react than the
smaller ones.
Furthermore, the molecules ap-
pear 10 act independently Of each
other. They react both with differ
ent speeds and in different direc-
tons.
The result Is that one direction
will become the easiest II the inert
materials are held long enough in
one fixation. That easiest way then
becomes the mechanical memory.

REPLACEMENT TAXES

In 1889, according to a statement
by the Utah Taxpayers Association.
property taxes in Utah were $500.
600 less than in 1920. But from 1920
10 1889 special taxes. fees, licenses,
etc, increased from s1.5f0.OOO 10
316,249,726. While property was
relieved to the extent OF $500 900.
the taxpayer paid nearly $4,000, 900
more from his other pockets.
It's the old story OF trying 70
tighten the fiscal load shouldered
by the property owner through re-.
Fort to what are sometimes face
tously called replacement taxes'.
The usual result OF this process is
a higher tar level coupled with in.
creased spending all along the line.
There is but one sound method
OF reducing the weight OF taxation
rigid economy in every branch Of
public administration.
