artificial Limbs
Prepared for Vets
Legs Made OF Half Plastic and
Half Glass.

NEW YORK.-Artiicial arms and
legs, half fiber glass and half plastic,
have been developed to replace the
lost limbs of American soldiers.
These are literally glass limbs,
since the fiber glass, with strands so
fine they r singly invisible, I'M
part most of the unusual and de-
sirable qualities.
They are made in the laboratories
of the Paramount Rubber company,
Detroit, an organization of synthetic
rubber and plastics engineers, and
have been offered to the military
forces.
A fiber glass leg is strong, with a
tensile strength of nearly 10000
pounds a square inch. A glass leg
is said never to squeak. 1t holds
bolts and metal attachments firmly,
and doesn't get out of line.
Having great resistance to ter
mites and other insects, to water,
body acids, surface wear and
changes of heat and cold, they can
be given plastic coatings to simu-
late the color and texture of flesh.
An advantage, says the Para
mount announcement, is the speed
of molding to shape and size. Com
pared with II hours required by an
experienced craftsman to sculpture
seasoned English willow for a knee
to ankle section, the glass-plastic
can be nodded in Is minutes.
The makers plan to manufacture
the limbs in IL to 10 sizes, with
plastic strips which can be laid on
and sculptured by hand to match
the opposite member. t
The laboratory is experimenting
with a casting resin to be placed in
a leg or arm top, to take the i'm
press of muscles which have to be
positioned accurately in fitting arti-
fetal limbs.
Glass crash helmets, made of SIM
liar materials, also are being pro-
duced by the company.

Soldiers Take Up
Geology in North
Think AIeutians May Reveal
Secrets of Earth.

AN ADVANCED ALEUTIANS
BASE.-The scientific bent of anna
teur geologists and naturalists
among the troops stationed in the
Aleutian theater is rapidly adding
to the worlds knowledge of these
bleak islands jutting into the North
Pacific.
Geologically the islands are COM
paratively young and scientists hope
discoveries made here will dispel
some of the mysteries of the earth's
formation. In an effort to centralize
handling of archaeological artifacts,
the Alaska department has instruct
ed soldiers to turn their finds over
to the University of Alaska for clas-
sifcation. However, other soldiers
are sending geological and biologi-
cal specimens outside to various sci
entific institutions.
Among the latter group is Lieut..
Chris L. York of Round Rock, Texas.
York, a former high school teacher,
has sent more than 100 specimens
of Aleutian island plant life to the
University of Texas for study and
classification. The specimens in
clude some 40 different plants, some
duplicates and some duplicates of
the same plant found growing at diff
ferent elevations, at different sea-
sons or under conditions which
would provide a basis for compare
tive analysis.
81 send the specimens back to the
University of Texas and they send
them on to persons directly interest
ed in studying northern plant life,"
York said. "It would cost a lot of
money to send m e up here to
gather specimens over the period I
have been here, and in a way it
makes possible studies that may not
otherwise have been possible for
some time"

Lack of Sleep Greatest
Privation Inside Reich

LISBON. - City jewellers in Ger
many complain more about the lack
of sleep than any other p%rivation, a
traveller just returned to Portugal
from a business trip in the Reich
said recently.
Frequent air alarms give the
people no chance to relax, he said,
adding that they are going in and
out of shelters day and night as a
result of concentrated Allied bomb
ing attacks and numerous alarms
sounded when Allied planes actually
bound for some other target area
pass nearby.
The traveller complained that he
got no sleep during a ~three-day So
journ in Germany. He said the Ger
mans were dull, tired and apathetic
and showed little reaction to the
news of the attempted assassination
of Hitler, Except perhaps to be still
less inclined to talk to strangers or
among themselves" He noted that
Gestapo guards at railway stations
and airports were tripled after the
news broke.
Declaring that the disorganization
of transportation had resulted in a
growing food shortage, the traveller
said that during a 24-hour stay in
Stuttgart he was unable to buy a
meal or even a sandwich or a cup
of ersatz coffee.

Synthetic Tubes

Since synthetic tubes r rather
easily damaged in mounting and re-
moving, sharp pointed bars or
screw drivers should not be used.
Even with blunt tire tools care
should be taken to avoid puncturins
a synthetic tube. When damaged,
synthetic tubes are harder to re-
pair and usually require vulcaniz-
ing by competent repairmen. The
old style cold patches are not de-
pendable and should be considered
for a short emergency only.

Loves Labor: There's a story con-
hected with the Heiftz string. While
playing in Buffalo, Johnny went over
to the auditorium where Heiitz was
giving a concert to get an sc"
string, his visit being a follow-up to
a note explaining his hobby, which
he had sent a few days previously.
For more than an hour, he stood
in the rain and when finally
brought into the presence of the
great violinist, he was drenched
from head to toe. AS he apologized
for his appearance, Heiftz, pos
sessed of a great sense of humor,
burst into laughter and said, "Why,
Johnny, I sent that string over to
your hotel this morning."
