Dedication to the Nagger:
Better to be buried and forgotten
than to live with a creature who nags
and scolds morning, noon and night.
Of all the plagues the nagger is the
one who puts the extension on the
limit. Nagging is more annoying
than throwing the rolling pin be-
cause one can always dodge the pin.

AKRON, O.—Perfection of a plas-
tic which may serve as a substitute
for rubber and even leather in the
manufacture of shoes was announced,
today.
This and other scientific develop-
ments, including the invention of a
static elimination device, were dis-
closed as leaders in American science
and industrial research of the Good-
year Tire & Rubber Co. research lab-
oratory, built and equipped at a cost
of $1,325,000.
The new plastic, named plioflexr
can be vulcanized like rubber and.
thus serve as a substitute for rubber
in many cases. It is expected to come
into general use after the war. One
scientist said part of the shoe top can.
be made of plastic and intimated that
a shoe might be developed which
never would need to be shined.
Goodyear also announced an appa-
ratus for finding tire defects before
retreading, and a device utilizing
sound waves beyond the reach of the
human ear.
If the tire is solid supersonic vi-
brations pass through it with full in-
tensity to a microphone controlling a
green light. If there is a separation
in the tire, the waves do not get
through with full force and the green
light is replaced by a red signal.
The device to eliminate static,
handicap to war communications,
was announced by P. W. Litchfield,.
Goodyear board chairman, who said
the invention—the radio static neu-
tralizer—will eliminate static wheth-
er due to atmospheric conditions or
man-made machines.

Shut-in Day:
Canada has set aside the first Sun-
day in June as shut-in day. And
through the efforts of Clarence E.
Power of Marietta, Georgia, that
state is the first in the U. S. to ob-
serve the day. He himself is on the
firing line of service bringing hap-
piness to other shut-ins through let-
ters, leaflets, postcards and copies of
inspiring poems. Mr. Power has
been confined to his bed 16 years—
ten of which he was unable to move
any part of his body. He has learned
to prop himself up in bed and use a
typewriter and his correspondence
with other shut-ins reaches almost
around the world. Surrounded by
his phone, radio, typewriter, binocu-
lars, canary and his books he leads a
happy life—in bed!r- -:W

Last Hour of the War:
No one knows when this war will
end but the_end will come sooner if
America steps up the speed of war
production. The life and death of
thousands depends upon shortening
the war—even by a single hour!
Think what can happen in just an
hour! A machine gun can fire over
10,00 bullets, an anti-aircraft gun
can hurl more than 1,000 shells into
the blue, a battleship can throw 500
tons of armor-piercing steel more
than 14 miles. In that same hour a
flight of 1,000 bombers can drop 5,-
000 tons of bombs—enough to ruin
cities like New York, St. Louis and
Los Angeles. The hours in a war
count in a thousand different ways—
even the minutes count!

TOLEDO, O.—Teddy, a combina-
tion spitz and collie pup, celebrated
Mother’s Day by bringing home a
pound of butter to Mrs. Roy Cox of
Toledo. It was a nice gesture—and
the only reason Mrs. Cox was not
grateful is that Teddy came by the
butter dishonestly.
He was caught red-handed when
Patrolmen Joseph Gulch and Al
Papenfus saw him pause in the street
to unwrap the butter. They followed
him and saw him deposit his ill-got-
ten gains at the rear door of the Cox
home.
There followed an impromptu
'trial, in which the driver of a dairy
truck testified that he had left the
pound of butter at another address.
The police, serving as judges, or-
dered Cox, the dog’s master, to pay
for the butter and give the dairyman
a ration stamp for it.
Police and dairyman left, marvel-
ing at the dog’s cleverness, but de-
ploring his criminal tendencies. What
happened to Teddy after the door
closed is a matter for speculation.

“Will,” said a newly married man,
“I’m in a quandry as to just what
I should call my wife’s mother-in-
law. I don’t like to call her ‘Mother-
in-law’ on account of the comic pa-
per jokes on that name, and some-
how there is a certain sacredness
about the world ‘Mother’ that makes
me hesitate to apply it to any but
my own.”'
“Well,” said the friend, “I can only
tell you of my own experience. The
first year we were married I ad-
dressed my wife’s mother as ‘say;’

WASHINGGTON.—Army
studying captured enemy
have found neither mystery weapons
nor ordnance superior to the Ameri-
can standards. But every day brings
evidence that the Germans are con-
stantly improving the design
manufacture of their weapons.
Italian weapons, in contrast,
copies of World War I models or of
more recent German and French de-
sign. The Breda machine gun is a
notable exception. Much of their
materiel is actually of World War I
vintage; various arms are obtained
from Austrians, French, Germans
and Czechs.
Japs are the best imitators, copying
designs from armament firms
throughout the world. These copies
tend to be lighter and of inferior
fire-power compared with the orig-
inals.
Col. Scott B. Ritchie, chief of the
Service Branch in the Ordnance De-
partment’s Technical Division, in a
report in the forthcoming issue of
Army Ordnance, comments that the
less powerful weapons of the Japs
are doubtlessly designed that way in-
tentionally to give the smaller Jap
soldier less weight to carry. In
amphibious and jungle operations,
the poor visibility and close quarters
combat tend to neutralize the advan-
tages of more powerful weapons.
Enemy equipment is collected
battle areas by special units of
Ordnance Department. It
ined on the spot and then some of it
shipped to the United States for ex-
haustive tests and analysis.
“The objective,” Col. Ritchie
plains, “is to know everything
why about enemy equipment,
example, if the enemy changes
design of a firing pin in a fuse,
not only want to know what changes
have been made, but also when and
why.”
So far, 336 German, 102 Italian and
67 Japanese weapons and types of
ammunition have been received at
the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md.,
where the materiel is catalogued
and examined prior to tests by vari-
ous research organizations.

AUSTIN.—Attorney General Ger-
ald Mann has ruled in an opinion re-
quested by George Sheppard, State
Comptroller of Public Accounts, that
in appropriating $1,900,000 monthly
to the Old Age Assistance Fund the
48th Legislature repealed the act
providing for the release in 24 equal
instalments of a frozen balance of
$1,154,044.20 which was left in the
fund when the appropriating author-
ity expired last August 31. This bal-
ance was the subject of prolonged
controversy in the 48th session. H. B.
159 as originally introduced pro-
vided foi' immediate release of the
money in order that cuts might be
eliminated while this balance lasted.
The Senate amended the bill to pro-
vide for release in 24 equal instal-
ments. This was accepted by the
House and the bill was signed by the
Governor. Then H. B. 9 was passed
providing that no more than $1,900,-
000 could be expended in any one
month and that “all 'balances” on
hand on the first of each month
should be taken into account in mak-
ing up the monthly appropriation of
$1,900,000. Thus, the act required
that the frozen balance of $1,154,-
044.20 should be part of the first
monthly appropriation of $1,900,000.
This obviated the necessity of trans-
Serring a like amount from the
clearance Fund into the Old Age As-
sistance Fund in making up the first
monthly appropriation and the law
provides that all money left in the
Clearance Fund, after the statutory
transfers are made, shall be trans-
ferred into the General Fund of the
state. Thus, a short statement of the
transaction might be that the effect
of H. B. 9 was to transfer the frozen
balance out of the Old Age Fund to
the General Revenue Fund.
Try to find the best side of the
other fellow and you will, by that
act, show that you have a good side
yourself.
