patient thanks TO their constant
sharpness. There were also rock
drills with tips of the same mater
ial, which have proved to maintain
their sharpness many times that
of ordinary drills and to work
much faster.
The same manufacturers had al
so succeeded in developing hard
metal-tipped hand drills of I'M
breakable quality. One of the diff
ficulties with hard metal has been
the problem of fixing the tips to
the rest of the tool, owing to the
different heat-expanding qualities,
a difficulty which is reported to
have been overcome by using a
type af high-grade foundry alloy
developed by the ski company.
A series of similar hard-metal
products was exhibited by the Fa-
gersta Company. Tests made by
this company had shown that,
while it required 20 hours to OBJ
tain 426 meters OF drill holes in a
mine by means of ordinary drills,
only. hours were required with
drills tipped with their Seco metal.
The company also demonstrated
frame saws for stone cutting with
the teeth coated with hard-metal.
These had a cutting capacity of
about 1000 millimeters an hour as
compared with only 20 nillimeters
for saws so far used. which means
that the capacity has been in
creased about 100 times.
The same manufacturers also
exhibited their well-known suture
threads with diameter as small
as 0.05 millimeter, which is less
than that of a hair cut of the
beard, which is supposed to have
diameter of 0.O7 millimeter.
The machinery section was, as
usual, large. Well-known Swedish
producers, such as Atlas Diesel
exhibited t h cir pneumatic anC
electric tools, the L. NJ. Ericsson
and Hugin Companies their --latest
models of cash registers, the Nal
Gus Holmquist Company their big
grinding machines, and the AGA
Company new types of transform

of the new Swedish products
shown at the 30th Swedish Fair in
Gothenburg.
This Swedish Fair, which was
held for the first time in 1918, has
become an institution and a rally
ing-point for Swedish industry and
handicraft which is attracting an
ever-growing number of exhibitors
and visitors. The first Swedish
FAIR came into being when Swedish
switch over to more modern and
rational methods of production

electri1ication of the first Swedish
railway line, the opening of the
first airlines for passenger traffic
and the production of the first
Swedish aircraft and radio set. 1t

year the public totalled over $780,
600. and the number of exhibitors
was about 500. This years fair
was combined with several conven-
tons, and being arranged in Swe-
denis leading shipping town and
foremost link with the west, it was
visited, as in the pre-war years,
by a considerable number of for
eign business men, who had come
TO study developments in Swedish
industry and to establish contact
with Swedish firms.
Although there were not sc
many sensational items to study
as during the war years, wher
Swedish firms produced a wealth
of more or less acceptable substi
tutes which had a good market
during the war, but of which only
a relatively small number have
survived the peace, several exhi'
bits of considerable interest coulc
be observed.

hind her like a delicate veil.
Madame was always faultlessly
dressed, even when she worked
in her garden. She wore makeup
at all hours of the day. And she
consumed an amazing amount of
liqueur. She served two kinds
of wine with every meal, she en-
joyed liqueurs after dinner, cock
tails were a daily affair, she had
an endless supply of cold beer
for her American friends, and she
frequently said there was moth
ing like a good glass of port to
brighten an afternoon.
Yet, she never showed any sign
of indulging and was bitterly i'm.
patient with DRINKS. She said
she belonged to a class of people
who were cultivated to drinking.
"Alcohol is the nectar of the
rich and the poison of the poor"
she said.
The day l came to tell her that
was to be sent home for my dis
charge, l found her PROSTATE in
bed. Word had arrived that her
oldest son died in the Hebrides
where he managed her $4,000
acre coffee plantation. 1t was the
first death in the family in %
years and the first of her five
children to go.
She was heartbroken. "When
a woman loses her husband, it is
a great Sadness" she said, "but
when a mother loses a son, it is
a catastrophe"
We talked a long while about
life, about the son who had died,
about his five children, motherless
for ten years, now parentless.
She would take them to Paris af-
ter the war, she said, where they
could meet and marry the right
people.
She talked, too, of her other
children, spread throughout the
French empire, operating her
vast estate, and she felt it was
time for them to return home
now to spend with her the last
few years of her life.

PEOPLE
By GLENN D. HITLER

When Madame Lucien Colardeau
dies, there will pass from this
world one of the last remnants of
colonial regality. She was in her
middle 70's when l knew her: a
short woman with straight al
most military bearing, with coal
black hair, glistening dark eyes.
a smooth complexion that showed
years of tender care, and had a
mind as brilliant as electricity.
From her mansion in the mid
die of the town, she reigned over
New Caledonia, a French colony
in the Pacific, with an authority
that made Queen Elizabeth look
like a school ma'arm.
When her husband died 25
years ago, an army of lawyers
invaded her home hoping that
she would allow one of thin to
manage her affairs.
81 don't need lawyer" she
told them. "My father was a
lawyer, my husband was lawyer.
| know law as well as any of
you infants" And she did.
During her husbands career
he had acquired thousands of
acres of land throughout the Pa
cific. Madame admitted that
some of her husbands methods
of acquisition were slightly shady.
But she maintained that if per-
son hadn't sense enough to know
when he was being taken, he
didn't deserve better treatment.
And so for 25 years she man.
aged, and still does, the business
of her estate and the countless
thousands of tons of coffee, cop
"a. citrus fruits. and meats trans
actions from which she enmassed
her fortune.
Every morning, a small parade
of business men filed into her
mall office for conferences. She
net them on equal footing and
was fair with everyone. But let
one of them attempt to get the
better of her in a proposition
and she crushed him unmerci-
fully.
Before the war, Madame spent
one year in five in Paris. 1t
gave her the opportunity of as
rociating with people of her own
lass. she often said. and she low
ed the gaiety of theatres, parties,
and concerts.
She was in France when the

Madame loved the Americans
md was mother to scores OF
them. Her large home was al
ways opened and nothing pleased
her more than to have room full
of Americans to enjoy her hospi-
talitv and wit.
She spoke Italian, Spanish. and
German as fluently as her native
French and she loved chatting
with Americans who could sneak
these LANGUAGES. She spoke little
English until the Americans ar
rived. and then picked it IN
quickly and could speak it per
fectly with slight accent which
made tn e LANGUAGE suddenly
sound delightfully."- new IN q

Madame loved parties. She be-
lieved no day was complete with
out several people in for tea at
four and a new crowd for cock
tails at six. At least once a week
she held a small dinner party late
in the evening with half dozen
people gathered at her candle-ht
table for a sumptuous meal and
hours of sparkling conversation.
Madame was one of those rarlties
who could discuss every subject

Plastic Tableware Is
Tested by Army

Preliminary tests of army table
ware made of nodded plastics indi.
cate that these items have many
advantages over chinaware dishes
for military purposes. Eventually
these dishes will probably be used
in homes too.
Plastic bowls, cups and plates
are undergoing tests at army hospi-
tails, at Camp Lee, Va, and in a
quartermaster-operated restaurant.
Now the quartermaster corps is
conducting research into plastic
molding materials and processes in
the search for products that will
meet high military requirements.
Plastic articles produced for civil
ian use often do not have sufficient
impact strength and abrasion re-
slstance, the low water absorption,
rugged design, and resistance to ex-
tremely high and low temperatures
needed in military items. The army
hopes, with cooperation of the plas-
tics industry, to develop materials
for use in such items as buttons,
sunglass frames, waterbag faucets,
crash helmets and tableware.
During the war the quartermas-
ter corps developed a six-compart-
ment plastic dinner tray which en-
ployed new developments in mold
ing materials. The tray proved to
be superior to the metal tray in that
it presented better appearance, was
easy to clean and did not absorb
heat as readily as the metal tray,
Other problems in the study of
plastics for army use include i'm
pregnated and coated items, low
pressure methods for molding such
articles as helmets, and the devel-
opment of nylon molding materials
as substitutes for leather,
