MAHOGANY WOOD.

The golden age of mahogany was
from 1725-1825. Before this most of
the furniture in Europe was bulky
and ugly, made Of native woods.
Mahogany has rightfully been
called "the premier cabinet wood
Of the world" 1t is one of the
early contributions Of the New World
to the Old and represents one of
the luxuries of civilized man. True
mahogany (Swietenia Spp.) grows
naturally in tropical America-in the
West Indies, Mexico, Central Amer
lea and Northern South America.
In its native habitat the wood was
rarely considered valuable but was
excellent for rough construction and
fuel. When its beauty and value was
discovered by European craftsmen
during the reign of George I, the
wood became almost priceless and
quickly supplanted walnut. In IT'S
the styles of mahogany were known
as Queen Anne. Chests, tables of
every kind were owned only by the
very rich. AS early as 1700 ma
iogany was used in a very limited
way both in England and in the
Colonies.
The earliest known use of ma
hogany in buildings was in the
Cathedral Of Santo Domingo, COM
pleted in 1850. This old church has
carved mahogany woodwork and to-
day it is not only in good condition
but very lovely indeed, even after
400 years!
Cortez is said to have used it in
Ishipbuilding for his voyages of con-
quest. The earliest known use of the
wood in England in a home was in
its use in Nottingham Castle built
in 1880.
During the golden age in the use
of mahogany. the Georgian master
craftsmen, Chippendale, Hepple-
white, the Adams brothers and
sheraton became famous In beauty
and design and craftsmanship the
furniture of this period never has
been surpassed.
While mahogany is handsome in
appearance, its reason for leadership
lies in the fact it is a cabinetwood
with minimum shrinkage, swelling,
and warping; enough hardness to
resist indentation; ease in working
with tools (as in turning and carv-
ing) and the ability to take different
finishes and a good polish. In addi-
Ition, 1t veneers and CLUES SO well to
make it an excellent plywood. When
the grain is curly, or wavy, it often
produces highly attractive figures,
although only small proportion OF
the wood is capable of producing in
tricate patterns which are so highly
priced.
BY the middle of the 18th century
large amounts went to Europe TO,
private shipbuilding, principally
from Jamaica and British Honduras
Nearly all the tropical countrie.
north of Bolivia, with the exception
of the Guianas, now supply tht
worlds requirements.
Mahogany trees never grow il
pure stands, but are scattered
through the forest. Mature trees riss
to a height OF $50 feet. They prefer
rich moist soil and tropical climate
For this reason mahogany planta.
ttions have not met with success. B!
economical use America can suppl,
the world with its favorite cabine
wood for years to come.

A similar word which is errone-
ously telescoped far too often is
veterinarian. Sound all six syllables,
as: VET-er-uh- -NEHR een-un.
It is not infrequent to hear
bronchial pronounced as "BRON-
Xxi" even among doctors and
nurses. Don't say 1t. Correct:
BRONG-kee-ull.
Another word customarily mis-
pronounced because of transposl-

"LAHR-nix." The last syllable is
lynx" not "nyx." Correct: LAIR

Watch the word height. Good

idealism, plus physical strength
to endure the hardships of this

The program aimed to depict
the cultural heritage of the Jew

Letter from Israel

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Strauss write
from Israel. They return to
Tucson about Sept. 15.)
Dear Editor:
Harry and l have just returned
from Jerusalem, where we at
tended the memorial services for
DR.. Theodore Herzl. The men,
DRY of this great prophet and
founder of modern Zionism is very
dear to the Israelis.
The grave of Herzl is very SIM
pie. Facing the beautiful city of
Jerusalem, it is on Mount Herzl,
the highest of the seven hills. His
grave is covered with a profusion
of white and blue flowers. The
ceremony was simple too.
How fortunate it is for me, that
I was here two years ago! For
now, 1 can really appreciate, in
fact, I am amazed at the tremend-
Gus progress made in these two
years. Never before have chap
tiers of history been written so
fast, and so constructively by the
Jewish people! Wherever we go,
we see new villages, new schools
and hospitals, and above all, new
houses.
The immigrant of two years ago
