G. What State has gained the
most in population since the census
Of 1940?-O. C. r.
A According to a recent estimate,
! California had the largest gain be-
tween 1910 and 1943, with an in

@. Does a silk parachute descend
faster that one of nylon?-R. E. c..
A. The War Department says that
the material of which a parachute
is made has nothing to do with its
rate of descent. The degree of
porosity is what counts. Porosity
depends on the weave of the mate
ria, and is measured by putting a
piece of cloth to be tested over the
end Of an iron pipe. Air is forced
through the cloth into the pipe and
the speed Of the air flow is meas
ured to give the degree of porosity.
Parachutes made of widely differ
ent materials could have the same
degree of porosity.
Q. Who would be the successor If
the presidential nominee should die
