The cross-grain construction of plywood makes it splitproof so nails may ba driven near the edge without danger of splitting. Called "not presses," giant machines set the waterproof gluea of exterior plywood in about five minutes.

Swamp Fever D Ose of the least weldbme «fa# visitors to a race course is swamp fever or equine infectious nn»rY,ir Tills disease is not ordinarily a "follower of the races." Valuable racing animals get better with average preventive care. When the disease does appear in a stable of race horses, however, the consequences may be far more serious than an attack on .isolated farm animals. Any horse infected while at the race tracks may become a center of infection and spread the disease to other valuable animals. In contrast, the farm horse usually stays at home, and does hot carry the infectiorftto new areas. See Tales!

Preach Dry Cleaatav "French" dry cleaning, like "Troy" laundry, is an amazing vestige from industrial history. It seems that the French actually did discover the action of various hydrocarbons in dissolving gravy spots on garments, although the process was improved and applied by Germans, British and Americans. The business got its start about 100 years ago. A young Frenchman is said to have opened the first American dry cleaning establishment in Philadelphia.

Open Sunday Afternoons Addicted Infants Infants born to mothers Utl& lHre morphine addicts show all the symptoms of a morphine addict whoaa supply suddenly has been cut off, and if not properly treated they may die of convulsions during the first week of life, according to American Medical association. The Infants are born at full term and are apparently normal, but their addiction matches that of their mothers. Separation from the Anaternal circulation shuts off the supply of drug to the newborn, and withdrawal symptoms ensue within three days. In the past, some investigators erroneously assumed that morphine was excreted in human milk; hence, breast-feeding by the addicted mother was a method employed in the treatment of congenital morphinism.

But the fashion designers are just kidding -- the "new look" is at least 8,000 years old. According to history, the Babylonian girls of 1500 B. C. were wearing several garments of which adaptations now may he seen on the Montmafte in Paris, on Park avenue or on Main street. The long, tubular tunic and the tight, long skirt was the fashion 3,000 years ago, according to World Book encyclopedia. So was the highnecked gown with flowing, threequarter length sleeves and the flaring, long ski^f considered smart today. The only difference between then and now was that the women of 4,000 years ago had to provide their, own hip lines. They hadn't thought of padding. For further parallels of today's styles, the encyclopedia editor had to ship to ancient Greece, around 550 B. C. The dress of Grecian women then resembled the evening dress of 1947, long and flowing. Skirts were long during the Napoleonic period, but the trailing trains of those times prevent any comparison to the new look. There is no resemblance to today's fashions in the costumes of the early Colonial period in American history nor in pioneer women's fashions. We have to go through the "gas light" era into the 1920s to come to anything approaching the "new look." See T. P. on the. v Lake Shore for your Real Estate and T.JP.
