Huge Steel Blast Furnace
Goes Travelling

INDIANA HARBOR, Ind. Up
A huge steel blast furnace went
travelling here to make a saving on
rig iron production.
The wandering furnace replaced
an old smaller one at the Youngs-
town Sheet & Tube Co. center here.
1t had to be put on the same site.
But to tear down the old one, and
then build the new would take up to
five months time.
The problem was solved with the
aid of the Eichleay Corp, a Pitts
burgh construction firm specializing
in moving heavy things. It once
moved a nine-stOry telephone build
ing So feet, and turned it at a right
angle, while employees kept on
working.
The steel shell of the new furnace
was built on a steel trestle, 13l feet
away from the old furnace. The old
one kept producing until the new
furnace was ready. Then it was dis
mantled and the foundation remcd-
eled

Pledging Allegiance
Becomes A Habit

VIENNA - up - Two wars and
the resulting border changes within
two generations have made citizen
ship in any Central European cOun-
try very temporary possession.
For instance: An employee of the
Vienna bureau of The Associated
Press was born in Bodenbach in
what is now CzechOslOvakia in 1906.
Since BOdenbach at that time was
part of the AustrO-Hungarian EN-
pire, he was an Austrian citizen
until 1918. At the end Of World War
l, his residence made him a Czech.
In 1888, when the Sudentenland was
ceded to Hitler, he became a Ger
man citizen. In 1945 he became a
stateless person because he had
moved to Vienna TO work, and could
no longer return to CzechOslOvakia.
Last year he regained his original
Austrian citizenship-thrOugh ma
turalizatiOn. re-
His wife's case is similar. She
was born in Feher TemplOm, Hun
gary, in 1914. Born within the en-
pire, she was an Austrian citizen.
Her father later moved to CzechOs-
Iovakia and in 1918 she suddenly
became a Czech. In 1888 she became
q German, in 1945 a stateless per-
son. When her husband was natur-
allied she too regained her original
Austrian citizenship.
She could not be repatriated to
Feher TemplOm-that is now part
of Romania. However, even if she
had returned to the city of her birth
she would have been expelled as a
| German.

GOslee Points Out
LubriCatiOn Need

Importance OF modern lubrica-
ton methods for modern farm ma
chineTy is pointed out by Raymond
s. GOslee Of MillsbOrO.
American farmers now have
more than six billion dollars in
vested in farm equipment, and
proper care of this machinery is
essential to insure good service and
long life.
Farm machinery today is pre-
cision built for more work hours,
and higher speeds. It's not uncotn-
mon to see farmers working their
tractors and implements long af-
ter dark. And in these days when
new machinery is still scarce,
proper fabrication is more essen
tial than ever" Raymond S. Goslee
said.
To assist local farmers in ade-
-Quate fabrication of their machin-
cry, the service department at Ray
mOnd S. GOslee now has available
a new high pressure se1f-lOadihg
grease gun which develops 10000

The new furnace then was moved
in, travelling the 131 feet in two
hours and 40 minutes. It was pulled
along the trestle over round steel
rollers. The furnace shell and Its
travelling platform weighed $50
tons, and was 1877 feet high.
Once in place, the furnace was
gently lowered 41a feet down upon
its permanent column supports.
with the aid of 129 jacks. 1t was op-
Grating 95 days after the old one Lad
stopped producing. The moving job
saved an estimated two months
production of pig iron.
The same kind of moving was
done with a smaller furnace at
youngstown, Ohio, in 1912 during
the war.

With this high pressure, the
grease is forced through dirty or
rusty fittings, and old hardened

kept clean and fabricated with
minimum pumping.
Available with the gun is a

An Injustice

tend school has some peculiar
strength, and that gift should b
sedulously cultivated. To be able to
do one thing well Is about all any
of us can manage. Only the genius
can do more than well In any field.
These children are valuable people
and their strength should be dis.
covered, cultivated and brought to
fulfillment by the educational sys-
TEN of the town and State.
When boy or girl is dismissed
from school because his I. @. IL
too low, where is he to 60 and
what is he to do? Hang about the
corners? That Is about all that
is left for him to do. and anybody
knows the result Of that. No school
should dismiss q child until he is
suitably placed elsewhere. We who
pride ourselves on our educational
facilities for all children have .
duty toward these children who do
not take easily to book lessons-a
duty to them and to the COM
nunity.
Teachers and school heads are
not to be judged by school averages.
That situation Is the root Of much
Of the injustice to childhood and
youth. Schools should be so
equipped, stated, administered as to
allow every child to find his peculiar
treasure and make the most Of 1t.

There are children In good physi-
cal health who cannot benefit by
the academic courses in school
They are good boys and girls, be-
having well, often better than some
who have high ratings in school
subjects. They are friendly, helpful
and enjoy attending school. But
the school does not like to have
them on its rolls.
Often this Is because teachers
and principals are measured by the
success Of the pupils in academic
subjects. The class average is what
rates the teacher and the school
standing in the district. The re-
suits of term-end tests are what
determine the rating OF the prin-
cipals, never the character, the
quality Of the children they teach
This reacts on the children who
are not book minded and who are
made to feel unwanted. In time,
the law permitting, they are asked
to leave and "go to work"
This Is q grave injustice to the
children and to their parents. Every
child-whatever his endowments OF
mind and body, or the lack Of them

ton as he can accept, to the kind
Of education for which he is fitted

try placing the nuggets under the

Beauty Notes

Nine out Of ten American women
take care of their hair at nome
A large portion of this home dress
inc of hair stems from the fact that
the cosmetic industry has seen III
to devote years OF research, time
and money to give the American
woman the finest of hair-groomine
products.
Hair is somewhat like skin. The
same life-giving elements that heip
make beautiful skin also help make
beautiful hair. Hair grows and OBJ
tains its life from the same type OF
sebaceous glands and enjoys the
same liquids as does the skin. But
hair can become dry, brittle, and
often splitting ends result because
of lack of proper care. Electric dry
ers, permanents and excessive ex-
posure to the sun don't help the
situation.
We have recently become ac-
ouainted with several new halr
products put out by one OF Amerl-
cas- best-known beauty houses. One
Is a shampoo which cleanses thor
oughly, but does it gently enough sc
that the natural oil is not removed
from the hair. 1t suds up nicely
and is easily rinsed out with water
The hair rinse is a new type OF
cream rinse that leaves the hair
tangIe free. Another new item Ii
the conditioner, which saves your
wave. and does wonders with halr
that may have become brittle, OF
broken with splitting ends from a
permanent. Then there is also a
dandruf control item. Last, but not
least. there's a product known as
chair beautiher" that performs It's
duties when you smooth few drops
onto vour hair and comb through
it. It makes the hair lustrous and
manageable.
y y y
Still in the realm of beauty but
this time dealing with beauty OF
facet Washington had an interest
ing visitor last week, Mr.. r. Avron
Kartyshai, noted beauty lecturer
and makeup consultant. In shor,
talk with Mr.. Kartyshai, he told III
that there are six basic face types
There are the oval, long, angular
round, heartshaped, and the heart.
shaped diamond face. Along with q
chart that gives information re-
garding your face type, what colol
harmony you should be able te
achieve, Mr.. Kartyshai also intro
duced Washington women to MS
revolutionary idea in makeup. This
was a round the clock" two-tone
makeup that comes in a single con-
tainer. With it you are able to pe
made up properly any time OF the
day. Mr.. Kartyshai feels that the
best makeup is only as good as the
light shining on it. He says you
should apply your makeup for the
longest period of the day that you
will be exposed to any specific type
of light be it artificial or sunlight.
In the wearing of colors in your
clothes, Mr.. Kartyshai claims that
deep tones absorb light. 1t is in the
evening that you should wear soft,
pale shades so that their light COL
ors will help reflect what light there
Is at that time. A representative Of
this beauty house is still on hand to
tell you more about Mr.. Kartyshars
new round the clock makeup.

CLOUDY TEA.
pI.ANTS2

from Mrs. w. M. S., Hyattsville. }
For the lady with cloudy tea, add
a tablespoon or so of hot water to
clear it up. I had this trouble also.
I have three ageratum plants, two
of which bloom nicely, but the other
one hasn't had bloom all summer.
Is there anything to do about this or
should I discard the plant? Should
the plants be left in the yard all
winter? Is any protection neces-
sary? Should they be pinched back
to keep them from spreading so
much?
SPONGES.
From r. 0. r., W1shington.)
Like the other two ladies who re-
ported on cellulose sponges, I have
used them for years, in kitchen,
bathroom and for cleaning paint.
Soap and cleaning powders don't
feel gritty in the hand when they
are sprinkled on a sponge, and are
so easily rinsed. Only one hand Is
needed to squeeze out the water,
they don't have to be wrung out
like a rag.
In cleaning paint, the sponge is
wet enough to clean with, without
water running down the elbow.
A friends husband used one to
clean his car and was most pleased
with it. They dry without the smell
any cleaning cloth always has.
And they are very long lasting and
inexpensive.

THANK YOU" NOTE;
TO REMOVE STAIN.
From Mrs. T. A., Arlington.)
Although I have permitted a
great deal of time to pass, I wish to
thank Mrs. j. A. NJ, Washington,
for her kindness in sending me the
oatmeal raisin meat loaf recipe
which I requested. My family is SO
fond of this dish that make 1t
almost weekly.
also wish to thank Mrs. G. B. W..
Washington, for her suggestion fol
swelling furniture. I tried the bags
of pebbles you recommended. Al
though / could definitely see that
the bags did decrease the swelling
of the doors, they were too badly
swollen to begin with to reduce the
doors enough to manage closing
them. Next year I plan to put the
bags in the buffet and china cabinet
very early in the season and I be-
lieve will then defeat this problem
Now have a suggestion which
hope will prove useful to mothers
with babies: So often I've seen re.
quests for some method for remov.
ing fish liver oil and orange juice
stains from baby garments. Toda,
successfully removed some terrible
stains from both sources which
would not yield to bleach, scrubbint
or boiling. For four white shirt'
and four nightgowns I used two
packages of the color remover
made by the company which make!
tints and dyes bearing trade
name containing six letters. Re-
member, though, that the garments
must be all white, unless one wishe:
to redye an article after removing
all color. Simply follow the in
|, structions on the package and leav'
the garments in the solution the ful
time suggested on the package o.
longer, which I did.
