Army May Keep Guns
In Big Sealed Cans
Ambridge, Pa. — Storage of Am-
erica’s big guns, and other heavy j
artillery equipment, where rust, cor- (
rosion and dust cannot injure them,
is a problem that may be solved by
the construction of great hermetical-
ly-sealed containers in which the de-
structive air is replaced by an inert
gas. This is the solution as recom-
mended here by engineers of the
U. S. Steel Corp., who cooperated
with the Army Ordnance Depart-
ment.
The proposal contemplates a big
welded steel container, resembling
the Army Quonset hut in which the
equipment is placed. The air in the
container is then replaced with ni-
trogen or other inert gas
Equipment will not deteriorate for
a long period of time and will be
ready for immediate use. The steel
shell can be opened with a welding
torch.

clouds over the Pacific.
Nylon To Be
Made In Texas
Washington. — The South’s new-
est industry—nylon, that magic pro-
duct we’ve all been dreaming of for
four years—will get under way soon
with completion of the du Pont
Company’s $20,000,000 plant at Or-
ange, and construction of another
at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The popular description of nylon
—coal, oil and water—will be chang-
ed when these plants begin operation
because Texas’ petroleum and na-
tural gas will go into the product
instead.

“Oh, that’s different,” they said.
“We get parachutes, do we?”
TAKING CHANCES
It was a war-time jury, and there
were far more women than men on
it. The defendant looked carefully
at every jurywoman, studied anew
the masculine judge, made up his
mind, and turned to his lawyer.
“I think we better withdraw our
motion for a jury trial, and let the
judge hear our case,” he said.
“Why do you want to do that?”
“Well, I never could fool my mo-
. ther, I never could fool my sweet-
I heart, I never could fool my wife—
! and there are eight women on that
I jury! I’ll take my chances with the
judge.”
Friend (visiting hospital patient):

Patient: “I hadn’t noticed.”
Friend: “Good Lord! I had no
idea you were that sick!”

Freeport, 111. — When Leo Fagan
closed his food store for the V-J
holidays, he knew people would
want bread, so he placed several
baskets outside with a sign telling
patrons to serve themselves. They
did, and left $33.20, or 20 cents more
than the bread would have brought
if sold over the counter.
