which does nothing but train a
weather-eye on those who are in

special accounting office puts a
tell-tale card into the files every
time a federal worker quits, Ow-
ing the government for extra
time off, overpayment for eX-
penses, errors, and any other
cost-involving factors. And if
this debtor ever steps back into
government service again, as
thousands have done since ma

his debts-or else.

fancy bookkeeping to make a
killing like that, for tracking
down debt-welchers is probably
one of the toughest of jobs.
BY comparison with the total
population, Uncle Sam actually
has very few debtors to worry
about. The majority of Ameri-
cans are so honest that Uncle
Sam has to even keep a Cons

order TO ear-mark the huge
amounts that are annually sent
to the government by those who
anonymously fork over dough
that they believe rightfully be-

This Conscience Fund-first
created during President Madi-

probably the strangest and least
known source of income of the
Y. s. government. Up until this
past year the sums, large and
small received from thousands Of
men and women who confessed
that they had defrauded their

GLASS THREADS
FOR WOUNDS
THE THREADS ARE SAID Tc
BE FIBER GLASS AS FINE
AS SILK 4
BY II. w. BLAKESLEE
APP Science Editor

NEW YORK. Dec. 4.|Glass
threads are being used to sew up
wounds in some experiments re-
ported in the American Journal of
Surgery.
The threads are fiber glass. fine
as silk. The authors of the expert
ments are Roy Philip Scholtz, M.
D., and Philip S. Mountjoy, M. D.,
of st. Louis. They report that the
glass is new material for sewing
and that it has all the requisites
for wound suturing.
More than any other suture,
glass is inert in living tissue. 1t is
unaffected by tissue fluids, cflemi-
Gals or antiseptics. 1t causes no
detachable chemical reactions. 1t
is non-poisonous. Germs don't
attack it. The glass fdoes not
bring out any irritating fluids in
which germs might thrive. No
person or animal has neen found
ailergic to the fibers. i
The threads are vefy strong.
They knot perfectly land per-
manently. They have beer used
in wounds for two years, and all
of them are still in position. The
bodies of men or animals have not
absorbed the glass. Nor have the
sutures moved from their origi-
nal positions.
This raises a question about
