Mahogany One of the
Best Finishing Woods

Mahogany responds as perhaps
does no other wood to fine finishing,
says '"The Mahogany Book" which
emphasizes that wood is finished for
four very good reasons: to seal the
surface against moisture, to facili-
tate cleaning, to bring out the depth
and lustre of grain and figure, to
change color or tone. Mahogany has
suffered the more when poorly fin
ished, says this authority, which
continues:
THE thick reddish hue and hard
high lustre of much late 10Th cen
fury mahogany is an example. The
red was a stain. Used first as a
perfectly legitimate means of obtain
ing uniformity of color, it gradually
became disguise for inferior wood
substitutes, growing darker and
thicker for the purpose, until it all
but concealed the natural grain. The
lustre was several coats of gloss
varnish.
"The finest mahogany finishes are
those which do the most to bring out
the natural beauty and color of the
wood. Outstanding are shellac and
wax, and oil and wax, both used
extensively during the 18th century
and responsible for the mellow

There are today, however, vastly
improved lacquer and varnish fin
ishes which cost less. Through them
we are now able to reproduce al
most exactly the rich patina asso-
ciated with traditional design. 9th

Waxed Soles and Heels
Extend Life of Hose

An old European practice for saw
ing wear on heels and toes of stock
ings has been revived and recon-
mended for use in this country by
USDA research people.
The practice consists of rubbing
paraffin or candle wax on heels and
toes of hose. In actual tests on
wearing machines this treatment
kept hose free from holes four times
as long as those untreated.
The wax is merely rubbed over
the heels and toes of the stockings
before each wearing. Even if wax
ing is not repeated until after sew
eral launderings, enough remains to
add considerably to the durability,
the experiment showed. The wax
can be used on cotton, wool or ray
on hose. If only thin film of wax
is applied, it will not interfere with
the proper laundering of the stock
ings, nor will it change their ap-
pearance, Miss Lane reports.

NEW SERVICE AVAILABLE TO
WOODLAND OWNERS

Announcement is made by State
Forester Joseph F. Kaylor that there
is now available for woodland owners
of North Central Maryland, including
Baltimore, Hartford, Cecil, Kent and
Queen Anne Counties, a timber ex-
animation and marking service de-
signed to ensure best utilization OF
the stand The examination is made
by an expert to determine whether
it is advisable to remove any timber
at the present time. There is no
charge for this. Where it is advisable
to do some cutting, the Department
of State Forests and Parks will, il
the owner wishes, assign a traine1
forester to mark the trees that
should be taken out and to provide
the owner with information as to its
kind and quality, and it's approximate
lump-sum stumpage value. He is also
given list of sawmill operators and
an approved form of contract
Marking on areas up to 25 acres
is done free of charge. For acreage
in excess of this there is charge to
cover the expense of the Department
representative.

Stem, Rust

Stem rust is caused by parasitic
fungus, a low form Of plant life
which lives alternately on the rust
spreading barberry bushes and on
susceptible grains and grasses. The
rust is spread between hosts by
wind-borne spores. It survives the
winter in the black stage on grain
stubble, in straw piles and on wild
grasses. The black spores cannot
infect the new crops Of grains and
grasses In the spring, but they do
infect susceptible barberry bushes,
causing the spring or c1uster-cup
stage to develop on the leaves.
Spores from the leaves Of the dis
eased barberry infect the grains and
grasses in the spring, causing the
red or destructive stage to develop.
The rust then spreads from plant to
plant and from field to field, and
sometimes widespread epidemics oc-
cur. AS the grain plants reach ma
turity, the black or overwintering
stage forms on the ripened stems,
and thus the life cycle is completed.

Careful Treatment Adds
To the Life of Gloves

Once you've purchased a pair OF
gloves it's well to consider that
your treatment of them is most i'm
portant in determining how long you
will have an attractive pair of
gloves. Remember the way in which
the sales person puts them on your
hands, and follow her example. Tug

glove material. Just ease the fingers
on first, then the thumb and palm
To remove the gloves it's best tc
loosen each finger tip, turn the cuff
back over the fingers and draw the
gloves off Suede gloves are the ex-
ception, they should be worked
off easily without turning back the
cuff or loosening the finger tips.
After you've taken off the gloves,
pull them gently into shape, blow
into the fingers and place the gloves
in a fiat box, wrapping them in
tissue paper if you use them in
frequently.

Careful Screening Cuts
T. B. Rate in ARMY

The incidence Of tuberculosis, as
reflected by the annual hospital adj
mission rate, is only one-tenth as
high in the army now as it was in
the last war, the war department
announced. Principal factor In the
marked decrease in the army's rate
is the screening process which is in
operation to exclude men with
active or potentially active tubercu-
losis before they are indicted into
the army, Col E. r. Long, chief
consultant on tuberculosis for the
surgeon generals office, pointed
out.
Another reason, he added, is the
fact that among the civilian popula-
ton tuberculosis is only one-third as
prevalent now as it was during the
world war. In the last war, the
necessary technical equipment
had not been developed for a quick
and accurate detection of this dis
ease in the thousands of men who
were hurriedly modified. Now, by
iiiSoiAo VI a-loy PAiotOSi dPiiy tubSA
culous cases can be excluded with
great accuracy.
1t was not until the spring of 1912,
however, that this screening proc
ess came to be used universally in
the army. Nearly one million men
were indicted without this x-ray
examination, which to large de-
gree accounts for the fact that ap-
proximately 10000 men were dis
charged from the army because of
tuberculosis between December 7,
1941 and December 7, 1914. Since
the beginning of this war, the army
has rejected approximately 100000
men who showed signs of pulmon-
airy tuberculosis. Several thousand
others were excluded by local
boards of the selective service sys-
tenn before they reached induction
centers.

Combat Fruit Moth

California is winning its battle
against the oriental fruit moth, seri-
Gus insect enemy of deciduous fruits
and fruit trees, especially peach
trees, but the fight is far from con-
cluded and may continue for many
years. The moth was introduced
into the U. S. on Japanese cherry
trees planted in Washington, D. c.,
in 1910.
Two new forces have successfully
entered the field against the vora-
cious insect enemy-millions Of par
asites produced by the University
of California for the state depart
ment Of agriculture, and new chem
icals and chemical compounds.
When new infestations are discov-
cred, the parasites are rushed to the
scene and soon prohibit further
spread of the moth.
Previous to the work done by Cali
fornia officials, 1t had been believed
that the moths spread could not
be stopped because Of its canny habit
of rejecting the first mouthful of fruit
it encountered, the mouthful consist
ing of the part Of the fruit covered
with poisoned spray. But now 1t has
been found that some chemicals will
give up to IS per cent control, and
the famed DOT, war time insecti-
eide, may give IS per cent control.
Tests made by U. C.. have included
$50 chemicals and chemical COM
pounds.

Warming Speeds Up
MANY Household Tasks

A little warmth will speed up
many household job ordinarily
done cold. Egg whites whip better
if they are at room temperature
rather than cold. The various in
gradients in cake blend better if
all are the temperature of the kitch-
en- rather than some cold and some
warm. Dried fruits and dry beans
"soak up" faster in hot water than
cold. Hot water is better than cold
for rinsing rice, both before and
after cooking. In making mashed
potatoes hot milk is better than cold
because it helps soften Jumps, adds
to lightness and keeps the potatoes
hot. In sprinkling clothes for
ironing warm water penetrates
and spreads through fabrics faster
than cod water. Placing the
sprinkled and rolled-up clothes on a
warm (not hot) radiator for short
time also helps get the ironing
ready in hurry. Before rubbing oil
into shoes to preserve the leather,
nave the oil slightly warm and the
shoes at room temperature. The
leather will absorb the oil faster
and better. Set a bottle of furni-
ture polish in warm water few
minutes before using, because warm
polish penetrates the pores of the
wood faster. Wax goes on floors and
other surfaces more easily and
smoothly If II ic MT ton cold Point
also needs to have the chill off to
spread smoothly. Plant scientists
advise tepid water instead of cold.
Washing machines, electric mixers
OF other household motors kept in a
cold place should be brought into
a warm room a few hours before
using. Otherwise the oil or grease
may be too stiff to lubricate prop
erly.

Chinese Speech

The Chinese must rely heavily on
variations in pitch and expression of
speech because their vocabulary
contains so few ''vocables" or sepa-
rate sounds conveying speech. The
Chinese language in the Picking dia-
lect contains only 400 vocables, COM
pared to uncounted thousands in the
English language.
Because of this limitation, It is
not what you say but how you say
it that is the more important. The
Chinese word "shih" is heard in
nearly every sentence but with
any one of many meanings, depend
ing on whether it is said in tone
that is low and plaintive or high and
sharp or that slides from one tone
to another. The tones are what make
Chinese sound strange and like a
sing-song to the American ear.
English also contains many words
or vocables that sound alike, such as
"aisle," elsie" and "I'n," but the
use of tones eliminates any chance
of confusion.

CAN FOR WAR RELIEF

DR.. John w. Studebaker, United
State Commissioner of Education,
has called upon American victory
gardeners and farm families to can
more food and give this surplus to
Europes hungry millions.
In statement endorsing the Com
munity Canning Program for War
Relief, DR.. Studebaker said:
Nov that Europe's guns have
cooled, food must continue the fight
for freedom if starving Mullins are
to survive and justify the price paid
in freedoms name"
Pointing out that gardens in many
areas are producing more than is be-
ing utilized locally, DR.. Studebaker
declared, ga good crop wasted or UNI
used means lives lost or forever dark
ened. All surplus produce of Ameri-
can farms, gardens, orchards and
fields should be canned and shared
to build strength and hope in bodies
and hearts of war-ravaged people.
Europes children and men and wo-
men need the helping hand of Ameri-
ca. Victory on the battlefield did not
work the miracle of restoring normal
food production and distribution. For
freedoms sake, gardeners and farm
families must share all they can
with the suffering people overseas"
The Community Canning Program
for War Relief was organized by the
United Nations Relief and Rehabili-
tation Administration in coopera-
ton with the U. S. Office of Educa-
ton, the Camp Fire Girls and the
Girl Scouts. Many national organiza-
tions including the Future Farmers
of America and Now Farmers, wo-
mems clubs, and home economics
clubs are supporting the program.
The campaign is under way at school
community canning centers, custom
canneries and home economics kit
chens where there are facilities for
canning in tin under adequate super
vision. Fruit packed in water with
out sugar is acceptable. The program
was launched to help build food
pool for Europe which faces win
ter of desperate shortages.

WHEAT GROWERS SUFFER BIZ
LOSS

Farmers of this Eastern Shore
wheat belt who have been taking adj
vantage of the favorable weather of
the past week to combine what is left
of their crops are reporting yiefds
ranging from eight to eleven bushels
per acre, which is less than one-third
of normal crop, and represents
losses of thousands of dollars.
One grower is reported to have re-
ceived 81 bushels per acre, but this
is far below the yields of the few
lucky enough to have saved then
crops before the rains started.
A number of growers will not at
tempt to combine their crops, but

Develop Sweet Sirup
From Tangerine Gull

Tangerine strip, rich in sugar and
vitamins, and new types of bever-
age bases are among new products
developed in research carried on at
the United States citrus products
station.
All of the new products are pro-
duced from Gull fruit. 1t is expected
that their commercial production,
along with other citrus byproducts,
will provide an outlet for that part
of the tangerine crop for which
there is normally poor market,
and will result In increased returns
to growers. Heretofore the market
for the low-grade fruits has been
limited by difficulties encountered in
the commercial canning of tan
gerine juice.
The tangerine strip is described
as light brown in color, honey-like,
high in vitamin c, and with sweet
fruity taste. 1t can be bottled for
home use as a table strip or put
up in large containers for shipment
to manufacturers Of other products
as source of sugar, vitamin c, or
as a substitute for glycerine.
The beverage bases are also con-
centrates of tangerine juice. After
concentration, the product is pas
teurized, bottled, and held in stor-
age at 40 degrees Fahrenheit until
used. The concentrates are de-
scribed as having a fine fruit flavor.

Farm Workers

In pre-machine days, when 1t
took three-fourths of the country's
manpower to feed the nation, there
was little food for export, little la
Dor for munitions plants. Today, by
the aid of farm machinery, approx
mately one-fourth of the people
employed on farms can fill the ma
tional larder. In the last hundred
years, half of the nations manpow-
er has thus been gradually released
to industry.
In 1920, approximately SO per cent
of all persons in the United States
10 years old and over, gainfully en-
ployed, were working on farms. In
1880, only q per cent of that group
were engaged In agriculture.

Frozen Hopes

Saying what man earns, ex-
pressing it in cents per hour or
dollars per year, does not tell much
about the measure of prosperity he
enjoys. Good living depends on so
many things that change from time
to time and differ from place to
place. Prosperity depends, in very
large part, on what people must
pay for the things they need and
want.
Putting the conveniences and lux
uries of life in reach of a large
number of people helps to build a
nations prosperity Franklin's dis
covery of electricity became great
discovery when electric lights be-
gan costing less than oil lamps. The
automobile became great inven-
ton when cars were priced down
where only rich people could afford
to own carriage horses.
Paying for Service
Plain people pay richly for favors;
plain people are so many. Names like
Edison, Mccormick and Ford stand
for huge estates because these men
did real service for lot of plain
people. 1t is because they hoisted
a wholesome standard Of living in a
free country. Thousands of men
have done the same thing on a
smaller scale and profited hand
somely.
Actually, the thing that inspires
mechanical inventors to invent, the
thing that fires scientific explorers
to explore, is the chance to earn
from free people the rich reward
for valuable service. Once upon
a time in the United States of Amer
lea men who had ideas could afford
to develop them. They can't do it
now. How I hope those days soon
return.
Big Ideas ON Sale
Edison, Mccormick and Ford
didn't need to hawk their ideas, nei-
Their did Bissell, Denton, Parker and
O'Sullivan, but Foster Gunnison had
to sell his. Gunnison's inventions
came later. Do you ask, "Who is
this Gunnison mani" Well, he is a
great inventor, not yet famous. But,
unless / miss my guess, he is Amer
ica's postwar Henry Ford.
Gunnison invented a prefabricated
house and worked out a plan to build
1t in mass production. His units
were scientifically constructed, insu-
lation built in, thoroughly modern
in every detail. Individually, his
house models are so different that a
tourist might drive past 100 of them
In a row and never guess that they
were drawn by the same architect.
Alike and Different
I could talk for hours about Gun
nison houses. They come in eight
sizes with great variety in looks.
They are far better than any house
possible to build of old-line materi-
ais in any community for the same
money. They have everything from
bathtub to garbage grinder, econo-
my and convenience; a poor mans
palace, amortized to 81 day. But
the inventor sold to the U. S. Steel
Corporation .-Why?
He lacked capital and, under to-
days tax laws, never could make
much profit. The giant corporation
can run the project In the red and
deduct early losses from war profits,
most of which the government win
take anyway. Unless our wartime
tax laws are changed, every fertile
idea in this inventive nation will
have to hatch under the wing Of
some huge corporation that exists al
ready.
