BRICK THAT FLOATS A PRODUCT
OF MUCH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Out of a Wartime Substitute for Cotton Came in Turn
Soundproof Building Material and New Light Bricks
F’om New York Times
Back of the news report that
Dr. Charles F. 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

and drying the wool. More research.
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.

DEBATE NAME
FOR NEW DOG
Depression Suggested as
Moniker for Policemen s
Mournful Pup
Detroit —(UP)— The pack of
nine German police doss which keep
Palmer Park, exclusive residential
section, free of prowlers, has a new
addition in a 125-pound bloodhound,
but the new'comcr is causing a great
amount of debate among the of
ficers.
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.

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.

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

the source of the story.
During the CiVI war an unidenti

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
