From Turner'! genius likewise originated the introduction intro-duction of the Broseley dragon and the famous Willow pattern adapted from earlier Chinese K'ang-Hsi and Ch'ing ware and so freely imitated by the host of Staffordshire potters. The commercial success of the transfer process by which designs could be reproduced speedily and accurately attracted other potters who were developing a stone china to compete with the French faience on the continental market Spode's iron stone ware manufactured manufac-tured from 1805 by the younger , Josiah found its transfers in black, blue and other colors such an economical eco-nomical medium it virtually drove the French faience makers out oi business and Miles Mason, in the pottery established at Lane Delph in Staffordshire with his ironstone patent of 1813 increased the popu larity of the transfer decorations. With the trend toward views and landscape portraits which followed the story scenes, bids were made for the American markets by such potters as Adams, Jackson, Clews and Stevenson among the many other Staffordshire firms. New Chemical Doubles Synthetic Rubber Output The doubling of its capacity for production of acrylo-nitrile, one of the ingredients in the production of the new synthetic rubbers, Is announced an-nounced by American Cyanamid company. This chemical derived from cyanamid is also known as vinyl cyanide, and is used in combination com-bination with butadiene, derived from petroleum, to make the wear resistant type af synthetic rubber, known in Germany as Perbunan. It is useful for tire treads. The company com-pany is now the principal producer of acrylo-nitrile in the United States. Production of the chemical was started on a commercial basis some months ago to supply demand from makers of synthetic rubber. Demand De-mand has already required doubling of production and further substantial substan-tial increases are expected. Acrylo-nitrile Acrylo-nitrile is a colorless liquid, now available in large quantities and this is expected to lead to new uses in chemical synthesis as well as in resins and plastics. Another indication indica-tion of the expanding operations of the company is the awarding by North American Cyanamid Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, of a contract con-tract for the construction of an office of-fice building and two smaller buildings build-ings at the proposed $3,000,000 plant to be erected near Niagara Falls, Ontario. Learn Music With Feet Whenever learning can be made into an exciting game, the pupils go ahead very quickly. With this thought in mind, Arthur C. Zahorik, music teacher in Milwaukee, Wis., recently rigged up a large electrical device that lies fiat on the floor and resembles re-sembles two octaves of a piano keyboard, key-board, with black and white keys. The right note sounds whenever a key is stepped on. The pupils call out the chords they are going to play, recite the different notes and then step them off on this device, hopscotch fashion. Although the feet do most of the work, pupils tread-ine tread-ine the keyboard train their ears to detect discords. With this device, Zahorik says, a whole class can learn in two weeks what might oth erwise take two or three months. An electrically charged brass strip runs along the outer edge. Beneath each key is a brass pin that sends current to a small electromagnet when the feet press the over-size t... T'Vit fnrnaa nnnthpf nil! . fvCj 3.

Newlon (of Columbia, Colum-bia, telling a teachers' conference that the profession has been preaching preach-ing fallacies about war, peace and America): "We have been teaching a sentimental program of peace ed- . ucation ...

Many oi us win oe finding what 1941 will bring. It will be a great year.

New Amputation Method Reduces Complication! After amputation of a gangrenoui leg, a frequent cause of death if pneumonia. Particularly in the cases of elderly persons, death ii .caused more often by lung complications compli-cations than by either surgical shock or failure of the heart or kidneys. Usually responsible for the pneumonia pneu-monia are blood clots. In the usual amputation technique, the severed blood vessels are tied off just abov the point where the leg is removed. There blood clots often form, break away from the stump, enter the blood stream, and travel to the lungs, where they can cause death. A new amputation technique greatly reducing the number of lung complications after such operations was described in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Worked out by Dr. J. Ross Veal, chief surgeon at Gallinger hospital, Washington, D. C, the new method was believed to be the greatest improvement im-provement In this kind of surgery in more than a century. The method was simple: It consisted merelj of tying off the vein high up In the thigh near the groin instead of at a point near the amputation, as heretofore. here-tofore. This "high ligation," said Dr. Veal, had proved to be highly effective. ef-fective. Of the 28 gangrenous leg-amputation leg-amputation cases on which it had been used, not one died from pulmonary pul-monary Infection, though five died from other causes. A study made oi 275 cases in which the old technique was used, he declared, showed that 97 ended in death, 41 involving lung complications. Perfection Is Demanded When Rigging Parachute To be a licensed parachute rigger, one must pass the ultra-stiff test oi the Civil Aeronautics authority. Aa an example of how tough this test Is, the state of Washington has but two licensed riggers. And the two happen to be man and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Brown of Seattle. Incidentally, In-cidentally, Mrs. Brown is the only licensed woman parachute rigger on the Pacific coast Skill, patience, and unceasing, meticulous care must go into the rigging or packing of each 'chute, they say. The law requires that a chute must be unpacked, aired, dried and repacked every 60 days. The first thing done after receiving a parachute is to unpack it and hang it in a high loft to dry and smooth wrinkles in the extremely strong silk. When the parachute is dry, it is taken out and laid on a long rigging table. Then each of the 28 separate panels Is straightened out smoothed and folded. While the folds are held with shot-weighted bags, the strong silk shroud lines, each of 450 pounds tensile strength, are packed carefully care-fully in loops in the 'chute carrier. When the 'chute canopy has been folded on a special frame and placed In its carrier, the things are compressed com-pressed when they are closed. The operation takes about an hour and not one part of the huge expanse ex-panse of silk is allowed to get out of place. As Brown explains it: "You don't make mistakes in this business." Saleswoman Should Pick Hat Saleswomen are better judges of what is stylish, what is proper and what is more becoming in the way of head-wear than the average woman wom-an herself Is, according to an expert saleswoman in one of New York's leading stores. If more women would listen to the advice of the salesgirl who is showing her hats, they wouldn't look so funny in their freakish hats. The hats look funny because they are set on the wrong faces, usually, and that is one of the reasons men make so much fun of milady's hats. This expert goes on to say that saleswomen should guide their customer into the proper style hat and that a customer should listen when said saleslady tells her that is the right hat for her. She also takes a crack at the plump patrons who wear slacks, with the statement that slacks are only for women with young figures. "But try and make a woman believe that she does not look good in slacks," she says. Scale Weighs Postage Stamp "Split-second" scales, which can weigh the impact of a falling postage post-age stamp or the force of a 2,500-pound 2,500-pound weight with equal accuracy, are being used at the University of Washington in secret aviation tests for the United States army. The scales, which record forces which strike an airplane in flight were invented in-vented by Prof. F. S. Eastman, university uni-versity aeronautical engineer. They are used in testing airplane parts in the University wind tunnel on the campus. When stresses are placed on airplane parts, the scales contact an electric coil. The force is indicated in pounds and registered immediately on dials and gauges. No Passengers The "Lost Bridge" never crossed by a vehicle since it was built 38 years ago finally has been demolished demol-ished by workmen.
