    i Steeplejack and Bridge Painter Invents Time-Saving Paint Brash
Now Device Tested on
Hew York's Triborough Bridge
A new dipiess paint brush was
■ •ecently demonstrated on the
■ j world-famous Triborough Bridge
in New York City. This brush
was demonstrated by its inventor,
Russell C Engren, steeplejack
«nd bridge painter, who proved
he could eliminate much of the
•me, energy and material wasted
in painting.
This new brush* (Air Flow
Paint Flow) puts gravity to
work! The paint flows from a
gravity-feed bucket through a
light, flexible hose directly to
bristles of the brush; a simple
shut-off clip on hose gives com
plete control of the paint-flow.
Actual tests in homes, farms,
factories, under every worjdng
condition where paint is used,
show an average saving of 38%
in time and paint. These tests
were made by housewives as well
as professional painters and con
tractors.
The inventor claims that not
only does the brush save time,
but also saves wear and tear
caused by cleaning of ordinary
paint brushes.
This dipless brush is now in
production and is being placed
on the market in die near future.
The Air Flow Brush Com
pany (57 West 35 Street, New
York 1, New York, manufactur
ers and distributors) are plan
ning an advertising campaign to
make the Air Flow Brush a
painting "must” in every home,
farm and industry throughout
the United States and Canada.
Vast Sheep Ranges Found
In Many Parts of World
Sheep can be raised on land too
poor for fanning. They can be
raised on land too dry for other uses.
Sheep can feed on grass too short
even for cattle. The world’s great
wool-growing areas are on vast
ranges, as in Australia.
Most of the world’s great sheep
ranges are in the temperate zones.
Nearly three-fifths of the world’s
wool comes from the temperate
'cone of the Southern hemisphere.
Australia, Argentina, New Zealand,
South Africa and Uruguay are the
big woolPgrowers.
1 In the Northern hemisphere, the
iTJnited States, Great Britain,
France, Germany and Canada are
the leaders. Of these countries, only
the United States grows enough
'wool to rank with the Southern hem
ilsphere nations.
t Australia alone produces about
'one-fourth of the world’s wool. It
comes mostly from a belt of grassy
plains about three hundred miles
wide. This belt is in the eastern
liaif of the country between the
coastal mountains and the Dead
Heart, or desert region, to the west.
I
New ‘Peg-Top’ Beet
, Interest of agricultural engineers
and sugar beet technologists is keen
in a new sugar beet variety be
'eause it holds promise of an "easy
pull,” "harvest-all” type to simpli
fy the job of mechanizing sugar
beet harvest. The “peg-top” shape
of the root makes for easier lifting
nnd less tail breakage. The new
variety is the fourth generation
■election from a cross between a
red garden beet and the leaf-spot
resistant sugar beet George W.
Deming, agronomist of the U. S.
department of agriculture at Fort
Collins, Colo., creator of this new
type, held on to the shape charac
ters of the red garden beet parent
but dropped red color in leaves
end root in favor of true sugar beet
characters.
i New Radio for ‘Hams’
i A new and radically-simplified
■ingle-slde-band radio transmitter
bids fair to double the number of
radio-phone stations which can be
operated without interference. The
transmitter was perfected at Stan
ford university. The new transmit
ter requires no special components
end can be readily duplicated by
imateurs. It Is expected to be used
In both the commercial and ama
teur field. Simultaneous transmis
sion and reception are made pos
sible for the first time with this new
arrangement, thus making amateur
radio contacts exactly like phone
calls.

Safety Record
Still High
Nebraska has scored again
on the Safety-Side of the ledg
er, reports the Nebraska State
Safety Council. Although the
Council predicted three and
possibly four traffic deaths ov
er the long Labor-Day holi
day, anly one such death has
so far been reported.
Nebraska’s only holiday fa
tality was that of Mrs. Lester
Hollenback who was killed on
September 6 in Shelton when
the auto she was driving was
struck by a fast train.
Nebraska drivers have every
right to be proud of themselves
for their record, the Council
said, for the nation as a whole
exceeded estimates set up by
the National Safety Council.
“Much credit is due to the
many agencies, both public an
private, who made possible the
successful p*omotion of the
Labor-day traffic safety cam
paign,” Dwight Havens, pres
ident of the State Safety Coun
cil, said.

Forestry in Europe
The Zurich municipal forest, the
Sihlwald, has been producing wood
crops for nearly a thousand years,
and in 1422 the city council decided
that the cut of that forest should not
exceed 20,000 pieces of timber per
year. This order constituted the
first recorded forest regulation that
is known. Led by Germany, Swe
den and France, all the principal
European countries now have gov
ernment forest agencies in many
cases have laws to regulate the cut
ting of timber on private lands.
