Burgess had in vented a brick that floats, be cause it weighs only one-fifth as much as an ordinary brick, and that will make it possible to speed up the erection of brick buildings, lies a story of progressive research. The floating brick, which “has a cruch ing strength sufficient to support its weigh if built into a tower five times the height of the Empire State Building,” was not the object that Dr. Burgess originally had in view. Transport yourself back to the days of the war and picture Dr. Burgess trying to find a substitute for cot ton, then so scarce that it was diffi cult to obtain enough of it for sur gical dressings. Then imagine Bur gess and his assistants looking for a wood-pulp substitute. The ulti mate product was a thick porous sheet that surgeons could use for bandages. The highly porous and absorbing wood-pulp material could keep out heat and cold. It could also absorb sound. Perhaps there was a chance of using this fluff, this wood-pulp sponge, in buildings. The cost was high. Burgess turned to pulp-mill screenings, a cheaper grade of ma terial. He obtained a product which has passed into commerce as“bal sam wool.” Boards of any desired density and strength could be made by pressing i MEMEL AND LITHUANIA From the Gazette’s Editorial Re search Service at Washington Chansellor Bruening, at Geneva to attend the disarmament confer ence, has announced that he will ask at once that the council of the league of nations take action on Lithuania’s seizure of the local government of Memel. The Memel territory separates East Prussia (Germany) from Lith uania along the Baltic Sea. It was detached from Germany by the Treaty of Versailles partly because the population (outside of the city of Memel) was predominantly Lith uanian, partly because the port of Memel would be the only possible outlet to the sea for Lithuania. Pending the creation of the new state of Lithuania, the Memel ter ritory was administered by the Allies. It has an area of about 95(1 square miles and a population of about 145.000. The city of Memel, with about 35,000 inhabitants, most ly Germans, is near the mouth of the Nieman river, along which much trade is moved, especially lumber. In October, 1920 a Polish army occupied Vilna. which had been assigned to Lithuania by the Allies and which the Lithuanians had designated as their capital: The Poles ignored the decision of the league of nations for a relerenaum in the Vilna district, refused to evacuate it. and in fact have re tained it ever since. The success of this Polish fait accompli un doubtedly stimulated the Llthu rnians to seize Memel in January, 1993. They were afraid that the league would assign it permanently to Lithuania; nlso that it might lie seized bv the Poles, not ello gether satisfied by their outlet to the sea through the Polish Corr idor and Danzi" in February. lm. the Mil ~ ac quiesced temporarily in the Lithtt- > sntan seizure of Memel, and eon ,‘fiited to a provisional LUlumnitu VV* SPANKING Houston.

And the result was boards 8 feet wide and 16 feet long made from chips and screenings. A mill at Clouquet, Minn., was built. There mere wood waste is converted into a product far greater in value than even sound lumber itself. Burgess now had a porous cellu uose material which could deaden sound in buildings. When he tried to use the material he discovered some facts about sound not gen erally known. One was that noises are not reflected by a metal sur face perfirated with small holes and backed with sound-absorbing material. Now architects specify a perforated metal screen overlying pulp-boards—a screen which can be painted and decorated and which is strong and fire resistant. Out of this work came more re search in building materials. And then the brick w’hich Dr. Burgess exhibited to his colleagues of the Society of Chemical Industry when he mas awerded the Perkin Medal, “bestowed annually on the American chemist who has most distinguished himself by his services to applied chemistry.” Thus step by step, the first taken solely in an effort to make band age for wounded soldiers. Burgess arrived at a new sound-proof build ing material and finally at a brick of unprecedented lightness and strength. administration of the territory After more than a year's negotia tions Lithuania finally consented to the league’s plan for ultimate disposition of the territory. Tire plan had been formulated by a commission of the league under the chairmanship of Norman H. Davis, former undersecretary of state of the United States. Under the Davis plan, Lithuania was to enjoy sover eignty over tthe Memel territory, which however, was to have an autonomous government, with com plete equality between the German and the Lithuanian inhabitants. Poland and Lithuania were to en joy full liberty of transit, by land and by water, and in case of war military supplies might be trans ported to Poland across Lithuan ian territory. The port of Memel. in which a free zone was set up, was to be administered by a board of fliree—one representing Lithu ania. one representing Memel. and one neutral representing tlie league. With Germans predominating in the city of Memel, it was inevit able that the local government should fall into the hands of the German clement. Lithuania’s pres ent coup d'etat seems intended tc I end autonomy in Memel in favor of complete Lithuanian absorption of the local government and of control of the port. The Meme! problem is not unlike tire prob lem of Denzlg, valuable to Poland as an outlet to the sea. with th* German nationality in the mojoritv in tli'i city of Danzig and the Pol ish nation"litv in the majority id the hinterland. ♦ • H1Y MILITARY PLANES London—Belgium is outfitting Us military force with a fleet of light ing plane-.

The new dog hadn’t been named, and it is about this matter the of ficers are in disagreement. After one look at the great dog's face, a picture of mournfulness and de spair, some officers insisted the name should be Depression. Then some one took the hound for an airing, and immediately demanded the name be Tarzan. “Just try and hold him," the ex hausted officer said. "Why, lie dragged me right off my feet. ’ The man-hunting beast, however, takes no part in the debate. He just looks on sadly and sniffs. The dog was given the depart ment by a Detroit fancier, who obtained it in Missouri, he has offeied no assistance on the mat ter of a name. “He’s starting a new life here in Detroit." he said. "The past is be hind him.” The dog is used to officers. He was born in ttie Missouri Peniten tiary at Jefferson City, and has spent most of his life behind bars as it were. Occasionally, it went out to track clown some fugitive. Now it will be used in Detroit po lice work, along with the more fe rocious police dogs, who nightly roam through the park. • ♦ — ' Glorifying Yourself, 8y Alicia Hart_ 1 " tfroiiav mpa rviwvirc 'UT SPRING HANDS Keep your mind on your hands when you start your annual spung work. . Boih housecleaning and garden ing can de terrible things to hands that you have cared for all win ter long. . , , If you could adopt the habit 01 wearing rubber gloves for house work and garden, gloves for work in the yard, your troubles would be cut in half. Since everybody must do a cer tain amount of cleaning, why not spend five minutes a day making up for the havoc wrought to your self?. First, clean your hands the very minute you finish doing some duty work that has left its mark on them. Lemon is excellent for kitchen stains. Turpentine takes off paint stains, and some grease stains. Perouide is good for rust stains. Don’t stop by merely cleaning off the spots. Any cleaner has its drying effect. Use a good cream to soften your hands and get them in shane after they have been cleaned. And right here let me say that nowadays there are many good creams, made especially for the hands, and dozens of good hand lotions. There is no aliibi for rough hands. oaraenmg is someimng eise again. Grubbing away in the earth lightens the heart and spirits but certainly can do dirt to the hands! Why not wear gloves There are thousands of folks who always have to wear gloves in their particular kind of work. Can’t you learn how to work just as well as them? You can tub a pair of gloves much more easily than clean your hands and fix up broken fingernails. Don!, forget your nails. Inci dentally, when you give that five minutes daily to your hands. Use oil on them at night. Push back the cuticle as you use the softener. And when you have entirely finish ed cleansing, softening, fixing your nails, then treat your hands to some fragrant skin-finisher. This gives them a silken feel that makes folks glad to shake you by the hand. • ♦ GLASS GARDENS.

BAYER^p ASPIRIN TRUTH ABOUT POEM “BEAUTIFUL SNOW” The story Hint tho familiar poem "Beautiful Snow” was written by a young woman who committed sui cide in Cincinnati la a romantic yarn that lias tagged after a poem for years. It is entirely untrue. Bur ton E. Ste.enson, in ‘‘Famous Single Poems,” is one writer who explains the source of the story. During the CiVI war an unidenti fied young woman died in Hie Com mercial liospitnl in Cincinnati, and among her effects was found n manu script of this poem. It was sent to Enos B. Heed, editor vf tho National Union, who printed it and credited Its authorship to the dead girl. But it developed when Hie verses began to lie copied among the news papers that the lines ttul originally appeared in Harper's Weekly of No vernber -7, 18.7S, some years before the death of the unknown girl. The poem was published originally unsigned. It was written by John Whitaker Watson, who was horn in New York In 18-1, graduated at Co lumbia university and studied medi cine, but entered Journalism and de veloped into a writer of sentimental verse and sensational serials. None of bis other poems ever nrhleyed the rot ice or this one, and because of the attention it attracted, tie used its name as the title of n book of verse wliih lie published in I860.— Cleveland Plain Dealer.
