Stainless Steel Is Used
In Airplane Manufacture
New and expanding markets for
stainless steel are being provided by
the aviation industry, according to
the Engineering foundation, research
agency of the national engineering
societies.
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 by 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 by 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
by 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 by 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 by 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 by 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.

-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 by
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 by 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 by 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
by 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 by 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.
