Wallace Population Doubles,
But Increase Is Temporary
By JOHN SHIES
WALLACE, Sept. 3. — It sounds
suspiciously like a press agent’s
dream (which it probably it), but
the Town of Wallace’s population
more than doubles every day — at
least temporarily.
Let’s not get too hasty with try
ing to figure out why this is true,
if, indeed, it is. The answer is sim
ple. It’s all because of the Wal
lace Tobacco Market.
Wallace, which does a whale of
a business in this area because it
happens to be one of the up and
coming farmers’ towns of North
Carolina, in itself has a population
of only about 1,500, figuring that
some 380 folks have moved to
within the city limits since the
1,120 official census figures of
1940.
But every day, now that the to
bacco season is on in full swing,
at least 2,000 additional people
move into the town for at least
five or six hours, perhaps more,
while buyers, warehousemen, and
auctioneers are flailing through the
daily offerings of tobacco.
Naturally, all these additional
“residents” of the town don’t have
only an academic interest in in
creasing Wallace’s population each
^ay There could be an interest in
the wherewithal that accompanies
the tobacco sales. A squint at the
maze of figures that roll out of
the adding machines of the four
warehouses here shows that over
three quarters of a million dolla s
have been paid out to farmers for
the seven actual selling days since
this market opened on August 25.
The exact figure is $764,216.36.
That amount of money was paid
out for 1,629,798 pounds of tobac
co. And, emphatically, that amount
of money is sufficient reason for

anybody to come to Wallace to
swjll the population, temporarily
or permanently.
And the prospects are that the
Wallace population will increase
by an even larger percentage dur
ing the next two weeks. During
that period the Wallace Tobacco
market will probably bring in
over $200,000 per day and, there
fore, more people from the out
lying sections will come in to get
their share. This increase in
money-per-day will come about as
a result of an additional hour of
selling time being added to the
Wallace market beginning tomor
row.
Figures: The Wallace Market
will sell between 400,000 and 500,
000 pounds of tobacco per day for
from $200,000 to $250,000 per day.
That should cause the population
to treble. And, incidentally, to give
traffic cops hereabouts, already
suffering from excessive attempts
to park automobiles where there
isn’t any parking space, more head
aches.
Anyway you look at it, those to
bacco $$$$$$$$$$ will keep anybody
from getting lonesome around here
for a while.
BEVIN CAN HAVE
GOLD AT A PRICE
U. S. Treasury Will Sell
Britain All She Wants
For $35 Per Ounce
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3—(U.R) —If
British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin wants all or any part of
the U. S. gold buried at Fort
Knox, Ky., he can have it—at 35
American dollars an ounce.
That was the Treasury’s infor
mal reply today to Bevin's sug
gestion that the United States
could best promote world recov
ery by redistributing its multi-bil
lion dollar gold reserves.
Officially, the Treasury had
nothing to say, because Bevin ad
vanced his suggestion before a
meeting of the British Trades Un
ion Congress and not to the U. S.
government. But unofficially, the
Treasury let it be known that Bev
in had better think up a new. re
covery plan.
“That’s a cock-eyed idea if I
ever heard one,” a high Treasury
officer remarked.
“If they want gold they can get
it the same way as we did—by
paying $35 an ounce for it.”
“We’ll be glad to sell them all
they want. The “for sale” sign is
still on top of our gold pile and
any time they want to make a
ieal all they have to do is say
[he word and lay the cash on the
line."
Acting Secretary of State. Rob
ert A. Lovett’s first reaction was
to remark mirthfully that .maybe
Devin had something there. But

The Book Of Knowledge '
(Department:—SCIENCE)
WHY THINGS FLOAT OR SINK
Throw a stone into a pond. It
sink*. Throw a chip of wood. It
will float. Why? Why does same
soap float in your bathtub, while
other soap sinks?
Your first answer might ' be:
“The stone is heavier than the
wood, and the soap that sinks is
heavier than the one that floats.”
But think — a very small pebble
will sink, while a very large,
heavy board or log will float; and
a small scrap of one kind of soap
will sink, while a large, much
heavier bar will float.
To find the answer to our ques
tion, we must consider the density
of the various materials.
What is density, It is the
amount of matter packed into a
thing in proportion to the space it
occupies. The total amount of
woodstuff in a board is the
board’s mass. The space it occu
pies is its volume. The amount of
mass in. say, every cubic inch
gives the density of the board.
Wood has a smaller density than
stone. Stone is packed very tight
with stone-stuff, while wood has
many spaces. Some kinds of soap
are purposely made with spaces
between the soap particles. Other
soap is more dense, more closely
packed together with soap-stuff.
Density Is Mass Per Unit Of
Volume
Less dense things will float on
more dense things. Water is more
dense than ordinary board; but
water is much less dense than
stone.
Cream floats on milk because
cream is less dense than milk. A
person who cannot swim will sink
if he falls into Lake Ontario, but
4 person falling into the Dead Sea
could not possibly sink, for the
Dead Sea, thick with salt, ia dens
er than the human body; whereas
the water of Lake Ontario is less
dense than the human body.
In general, gases are less dense
than liquids, and liquids are less
dense than solids. Yet there are
many exception. The most dra
matic exception is that of mer
cury, a very dense liquid. So
dense is mercury that iron and
steel machinery is sometimes
made that will float on mercury.
Hot, or warm, water will float
on cold water (as long as the
temperature of the cooler water
does not go down below 4 degrees
Centigrade.) Some distance below
the surface, the Gulf Stream is
as cold as the surrounding ocean,
while the upper layers are warm.
Why do the warm layers float,
Because increased heat means in
creased motion of molecules. This
tends to counteract their attrac
tion for one another. The mole
cules of cold water tend to herd
together, which makes cold water
more dense.
Density is determined by the
structure of a substance (the air
spaces in some soap, the tightly
packed stone, and so«on); density
is also determined by the atoms
of a substance, and this is mos1
important. Atoms of greater
atomic weight are denser than
atoms of less atomic weight.

TOMORROW:—The Blimp and Its

Toy figures made of iron sink
when placed in water, but float
on mercury. This is because iron
is denser than water ( that Is,
more tightly packed), but is not
so dense as mercury.

LUMBERTON VETERAN
LOSES UFESAVINGS
IN AIRPLANE DEAL
Morning Star Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. — A
Lumberton, N. C., veteran told the
Justice department here that he
lost, his life savings of $20,000
in “bifying” airplanes from a New
York concern, it was revealed to
day.
The veteran. M. H. Cowan said
the New York concern was headed
by Frank Cohen.
According to Cowan, he bought
six planes from Commonwealth
Aircraft, Inc., but that he actually
had received only three.
He bought the planes, he said,
for resale. One of the three which
he received and later sold was
purchased by Air Progress, Inc.,
from W. B.hr dor loh loih lahada
of Wilmington, who bought it
from W. B. Bowles, Jr., of Abbotts
burg, N. C. Cowan said he sold
the plane to Bowles.
. According to the Justice depart
ment, and investigation of Com
monwealth Aircraft now is un
derway.
