HAVE INVENTED KILN
FOR WOOD SEASONING
(A True Story of .Science.)
"What is tlo- matter with these
drawers, anyway? Kvcry time 1
want a necktie. I nearly freak rn
I a' k trying to iut! tV.Js one open."
No one knows how much tnery
has f.fen lost, or liow many sweet
dispositions- soured, by bureau draw
ers that stick.
This f.-. t does not seem to bo
c!o.-c!y connected with the airplane
industry, but it is. As a rule draw
ers that slick, like hows that will
not shoot, have been made from
unseasoned timber.
On of the bluest problems fac
iofc the government in 1 1 1 7 was how
to -et jjood reasoned timber for air-
plains. iprucc is about the only
kind of wood that can b used
s 1 J isfactorily in airplane construc
tion. Whn the Kovornment de
cided to mak airplanes by the tens
of thousands, there was not nearly
enough s;rue cut and dried. Un
numbered mammoth trees were
growi.". on the fojry mountains of
Va neou ver a mi Wasiilngton, but how
to turn the.c trees into the seasoned
tiioli r, necessary for airplanes, was
the iiestif)n.
Any hry who has ever made a
liow and arrow knows that the b-st
kind of woofl is that which has been
seasoned in a dry place in the open
air for a year or more.
Hut airplanes could not wait for
spruce to season that way. Lumber
men knew that it was possible to
season timber in kilns, bv.t uch
lumber was likely to shrirk or swell,
according to the climate. It would
not do.
Up in Madison, "Wis
mann had been work'
in the Forest Service
trying to lind a way to
. H .D. Tic
7 for years
laboratories,
season wood
more quickly ami satisfactorily.
Mr. Ti'-mann came forth with a
new kiln that would season lumber
thoroughly in from eight to 1-1 days.
It consists of a closed chamber in
which the lumber is piled in a cer
tain specified way. The temperature
and humidity are regulated accord
ing to delinite rules. There is no
cuesswork about it. It brings re
sults. Lumber seasoned in a T.e
mann kiln, is even more satisfactory
than lumber seasoned for a year in
th open air.
Mr. Tiemann dedicated his inven
tion to public use. Now manufac
turers of all kinds, making; everything-
from furniture to ukuleles,
will benetlt by it.

A Study Corner at Home
"It's too chilly to sJt on the front
porch this evening. Let's rxove in
to study."
So in they go. Then, in a minute:
"(iec whiz, Dad, how can I study
when you read that magazine out
loud?"
"Robert Wat kins, come here with
my nercil nd paper. I simply have
to have it."
' vmiv is thät old atlas we used
to have? I wish I could find it."
There are few homes that do not
have paper, pencils, pens, rulers, a
few reference books, sclssois, paste,
a waste basket, a table and a light
with a good shade. Rut the trouble
is. such things are scattered every
where In four, five, six, seven, or a
dozen rooms.
Go through the house and gather
uv all such things that you need
for your evening study. Rring them
all together into one comfortable
corner, a "Home Study Corner."
Then make a habit of studying In
that one place. After you have
done It a w hile, you get used to It.
It is easier to study there than any
where else, even though someone
may lie talking acrcss the room.
Soon a study corner helps to form
a study habit. Better lessons,
learned more quickly, is the result.

FEZ DISAPPEARING
WITH TURK'S RULE
Headgear of Moslems; Slowly
Giving Way to Hats
With Brims.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 21.
With the crumbling of Turkish
authority and Influence, the fez, the
badge which all Turkish subjects.
Christians, Jews and Turks alike,
are supposed to wear, is rapidly
disappearing. Although the Mos
lems Mill wear their fezzes In the
streets, they no longer cling to them
slavishly indoors. Soon the Turks
may be wearing hats with brims in
Constantinople. Moslems in other
parts of Turkey insist the Moham
medans in the capital lost their re
ligion long ago through their desire
to imitate the infalels.
As all heads must remain covered
in the mosques and it is quite Im
possible to touch one's forehead to
a prayer rug while wearing a hat
with brim .the fez is indispensable
to the faithful Moslem who prays
daily to Mecca. Even military and
naval officers must wear visorless
caps.
Fez Prevails.
The fez still prevails in Anatolian
cities. In fact It Is unsafe for for
eigners to wear a hat in many of
them unless he desire to attract a
crowd of hooting small boys and run
the risk of starting a riot. Osman
Apha, tho terrorist governor of
Kerassunde. recently checked the
tendency of nor.-Mcslems in that city
to get away from old customs.
An Armenian who had Just re
turned from Russia walked along
the main street of the little city
wearing a stiff-brimmed straw hat.
It was worse than wearing a straw
hat on the New York stock exchange
after the season had passed. Osman
Agha grabbed the hat from the Ar
menian's head, slashed the crown
from tho rim with his sabre, jam
med the crown down on the Ar
menian's head.
