WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING TURPENTINE Southern pine trees and the skill of American chemists are supply- Ing tbe United States with a ver- satile product in which Japan once held a tight monopoly, writes Dr. C. M. A. Stlne, vice-president ad- rlsory on research and develop- ment of the duPont de Nemours and Company for Science Service. This is camphor, an Important Ingredient of thousand* of peace- time and wartime products from liniments, unguents, stimulants and other Pharmaceuticals to scuffles* plastic heel covering on women'i shoes, movie films (which use hundred* of thousands of pounds), military drafting Instru- ments and motorcycle windshields. State camphor trees of the Or- ient have for thousands of years been giving off their fresh and heady odor an odor that carries for miles. Many centuries ago the natives learned to distill the cam- phor wood, iii'inx- crude bamboo tubes to condense the snow-white crystals. These they pressed Into small amulets to Insure health and to serve as symbols of pagan be- lief. It In rni'l that the Arabian physicians of the eleventh century appreciated the medicinal valna of camphor. German, Swiss and Italian plants were turning synthetic camphor out early In the twentieth century and a "art was made on this con- tinent In 1900. Several other ef- forts were also m ul> during the first third of the century, but large-scale operations did not 1m- rln until the duPont company opened Its camphor plant In 1932. Turning out close to fiOO.OOO pounds of camphor a month, this plant now produces moxt of the cam- phor manufactured In the U. S. Plnone, the starting material for camphor production, Is a clear, watery fluid which looks and smells much like turpentine. In fact, tur- pentine Is 95 pwent plnon*>, which '- distilled off.

What should one <lo when dummy during a bridge game? Watoh the game or leave the table and walk about the room? 3.

When a person has finished eating, isn't it helpful if he will stack the empty dishes? ANSWERS 1. No. Such demonstrations should be reserved for their priv- acy.

The story of the "Flying Scots- man" is railway history indeed it is more, it is the railway history of five reigns. Since its first run every thing worth while in rail- way practice has been bestowed upon it. The original train of about six small coaches has grown through the years to the magnifi- cent pre-war fourteen or sixteen coach luxury hotel on wheels that transformed the journey to Scot- land into a most pleasant adven- ture.
