Several types of European military planes use stainless steel for standardized parts. This trend is gradually extending to the field of small . and inexpensive private planes, one builder of such planes specifying stainless steel for rudders, stabilizers, elevators and fuel tanks. The ease with which stainless steel is welded enables airplane manufacturers to do away with rivets, which, although very small, have been proven <strong>by</strong> tests to make an appreciable difference in airresistance at the high speeds current in modern flying. The report claimed that, although stainless steel is heavier than some of the light alloys now used, it compensated for this disadvantage in airplane .construction <strong>by</strong> its strength. This characteristic, it said, in conjunction with the corrosion resistance, enabled stainless steel to be used safely in many thin sections, bringing the weight of the-completed structure down to an equal basis. ' The gradually increasing use of stainless steel in planes and the forecast of a much greater use can be logically deduced from the successful application and the highly satisfactory performance of the material in high speed* lightweight railway equipment; the report stated. While certain factors are important in the air which are irrelevant in surface transportation, there are also many posits of similarity in the desired ends in both cases. Molybdenum, a metal improving steel's resistance to mineral and organic acid attack, and enabling steel to remain hard when reheated, is becoming increasingly useful in the manufacture of stainless steel Horrors of World War Led to Plastic Surgery A thousand men without faces, victims of the World war, gave rise to the science and art of plastic surgery, first concern of the few great surgeons, who met this emergency <strong>by</strong> developing new skills, was restoration of function. These men without faces could not .chew. They could not swaDow. They could not speak. Other men could not bring themselves to look upon such a horrible result of "man's inhumanity to man." It was necessary to give the victims jaw bones, teeth, noses, throats, skin. It was a work of mercy to add artificial eyes, ears, pleasing contours. Imagination came into use, for mothers, in many cases, could not even supply photographs. | Psychological values of the repair t work received scant attention at j that time. Yet the healing of the spirit <strong>by</strong> the plastic surgeon is as remarkable as the wonders he performs on external appearances. The least vain among humans has a natural horror of looking repulsive to his fellows. A physical deformity is a great handicap in keeping a job, winning a sweetheart, making friends, finding happiness. Warped personalities naturally result from twisted bodies. Dr. Henry J. Schireson, plastic surgeon of Philadelphia, tells of the great joy expressed <strong>by</strong> his patients who had been restored to natural appearance or given new beauty in the surgery. One of the most appreciative was a nun, victim of a Chinese plague, who asked his aid because she "frightened little children." Coloring Aids Efficiency Efficiency and high production in factories are aided <strong>by</strong> proper colorselection, according to industrial studies. No longer is it considered necessary to paint machines and factory walls a depressing gray. Restful and tasteful colors are chosen instead—with such parts of the machinery as are particularly dangerous done in sharp contrast. Employees are also inclined to take better care of machinery that is finished in light colors and not let accumulations of dirt and grease detract from its clean appearance. In one air-conditioned, windowless factory a pleasant shade of orange is applied to the machinery and this apparently has a stimulating effecf' on the workers. In another factory where much glass is used in the walls, the machinery is painted in light pastels. Chinese Students in U. S. Two sons of a trusted adviser to Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek are diligently seeking an education in the United States, preparing for the time when they believe Chinese national life will be re-established on a peaceful basis. John and Peter Eoyang, the nine and 16year-old sons of Admiral Eoyang, commander of the defunct Chinese navy, are known as Butch and Pete to friends jr. the Ann Arbor and University of Michigan high school, where they are enrolled. They are sports fans, but they are also serious about their careers; Peter so much so that he hopes to finish high school in two years, study naval architecture and engineering at the university, and then enter a British naval academy. Ke also finds time to box, play football and j swim. mm -City That Never Was' Ha. Really Vanished Sixty years ago Frog Point, the "city that never was," at the head of navigation of the Red river in North Dakota, was a garnering piece for hundreds of teamsters, flat boatmen, hunters, trappers, Indian traders, travelers and the • representatives of eastern business firms. It was a sort of wilderness metropolis, whose inhabitants uere chiefly transients, dwelling in shacks, frame hotels and, sometimes, in tents. Yet, the reputation of this crossroads of the backwoods spread to every part of the American continent and to Europe. Britons thought of Frog Point as a thriving city with broad avenues, tall spires and humming industries, outranked only <strong>by</strong> Liverpool there. To speak of Frog Point in the cities along the Atlantic seaboard or abroad summoned before the imagination pictures of marching armies, boundary police and all the goings and comings of a great commercial mart. This reputation made it a mecca for foreign travelers, but their disillusionment failed to dim its reputation while its importance "continued. Writers for the American Guide, the government's forthcoming travel handbook, have been preparing an article on the forest city with the aid of the old timers. In contrast to the spectacular "boom" towns of the mining districts, Frog Point owed its burst of affluence to a low water period which made navigation above it impossible. Freight hauled over land made connections here with the Hudson's Bay company boat, the International, and with the Selkirk, of which James J. Hill, the "Empire Builder." was past owner. A Hudson's Bay company trading post was established at Frog Point in 1871 with A. H. Morgan as agent. He remained in charge until 1875, when the post was leased to Robert Slay. Hill was one of the famous figures frequently seen at Frog Point On one occasion, while traveling from Duhitb to Georgetown, he brnfca through the tee not far from the. Point and came near drowning. Fmauy, navigation conditions changed. Robert Ray discontinued the trading post, fire wiped out many of the buildings where the backwooodmen had assembled and held high carnival, the hotel and store keepers closed up and, within a relatively short time, the metropolis of the wilderness had dissipated into a mist of memories as impalpable AS the phantom city once reared on the site <strong>by</strong> the imagination of distant peoples. Today, the old Hudson's Bay company buildings, in which the Alfred Tcrgerson agency is located, survive as the one representative of its ancient glory. Its population has dwindled ;to 33 people. Even its name has gone—changed to Belmont. Vitamin From Molasses May Prevent Gray Hair In sugar cane may lie the cure for graying hair. Scientists at the University of California revealed recently an improved method of extracting an "anti-graying" vitamin from cane molasses. They reported the vitamin effective on animals, but said they were not yet ready to try it on human beings. Drs. Oliver and Gladys Emerson, Herbert Evans and Ali Mohammad, all on the staff of the university's institute of experimental biology, reported on the progress of experiments inspired <strong>by</strong> Dr. Agnes Fay Morgan's discovery of the presence of the potent vitamin in the "Vitamin B complex" last year. Dr. Morgan split the complex vitamin into several groups, one of which prevented beri-beri in man, another pellagra, a third a skin disease in chicks. She determined that if one of these fractions was omitted from the diet of experimental rats the hau- began to fade to gray. Fed the cussing substance the rats regained their original color. Dr. Emerson, his wife, Dr. Mohammad and Dr. Evans thereupon undertook l? isolate the vitamin fraction which affected hair color. Musele-Disease Treatment A new treatment for a rare muscle-destroying disease which makes its victims so weak that they cannot swallow food was reported recently in Memphis, Term. The disease is known as myasthenia gravis, in which the nerve and muscles of the body are crdonologically weak and almost useless yet, when examined, they appear to be perfectly normal. The treatment is the administration <strong>by</strong> mouth of guanidine, a common drug closely related to urea, which is widely used as a farm fertilizer. Dr. Ann Minot, chemist at Vanderbilt university, Nashville, Tenn., declared in an interview that while the drug is not a cure for the disease, it has benefited the seven patients on whom it has been tried and has given them relief sufficient that thjy are able to take care ot themselves. Fireplace Heating Fall and spring heating costs can be reduced <strong>by</strong> an efficient fireplace, and in extremely mild climates it is often found that no other heating equipment is needed. Factory-made fireplace units, designed to circu la'e heat throughout the entire roorr and even into adjoining rooms, ar« being manufactured and may be installed in the home*. Fireplace* are also growing in popularity as t> source of heat for basement recrea lion rooms. The JOHN DEERE IS SO SIMPLE I can make most adjuststents myself.
