Paint Brushes To clean old paint brushes first soak them in an old can filled with turpentine. Squeeze out all the paint possible and then wash them very thoroughly in hot soapy water. Allow Al-low them to dry thoroughly before storing away. Alcohol cleans shellac shel-lac brushes, and lacquer thinner cleans lacquer brushes. ' Brushes that are used in casein or cold water paints will not be damaged by these materials if they aren't allowed to dry into the bristles. Bending the stiff hardened mass may cause the bristles to crack. Therefore, always wash brushes used in water paints right after using. ' Delight Arcbeologists Mayan manual arts as practiced in some parts of Middle America have long astonished and delighted modern afcheologists. Without the knowledge of the keystone principle . in building the arch, they erected with primitive tools great temples ' whose ruins still testify to the amazing amaz-ing skill of the Mayan builder. Great masonry steps rose course upon course to vast heights, covered at the top by capstones. Temple walls were of stucco and painted, another an-other modern touch which still bewilders be-wilders this modern age.

Potential Resources Economic geographers agree that few, if any, political divisions of the earth possess the potential resources of Brazil. Eighty per cent or more of the land has been adjudged productive. pro-ductive. Ample rainfall makes possible pos-sible great stands of rubber, coffee, timber and other crops. Brazil's "jungle," far from being wasteland, is largely exploitable. The largest and purest iron ore deposits, an estimated es-timated 22 per cent of the world's total, are in Brazil's state of Mlnas Gerais. Other minerals, many not found elsewhere In commercial quantities, abound. Children's Shoes There are numerous cases of children chil-dren wearing ill-fitting shoes, usually too small for them. Such foot troubles as callous formations, ingrown toenails, and incipient bun-Ions bun-Ions may result. When the individual Is standing, the shoes should be about one-half inch longer than the toe. The widest part of the shoe should fit the widest part of the foot. The toe of the shoe should be rounded enough to allow room for all toes. The counter of the shoe should fit snugly around the heel. Seed Flying "Seed flying," or carrying seed by plane from country to country, has enhanced the interchange of crops between Middle America and the United States. Corn seedlings flown from the United States to the 10 countries of Middle America have improved their crop immensely. Conversely, Middle America has shipped to us by air grass oils and timber seeds, among other items. |
