New Cotton Insulation
Resistant to Decay, Heat
t A new cotton insulation, treated
to be both flameproof and water
repellant, has been put on the mar
ket.
This is the first time cotton has
been used for insulation. It has been
brought about by the development
of processes which make it possible |
to extend cotton’s fire-resistant qual- i
ities far beyond the danger point.
The new insulation will withstand a j
temperature of more than 1,500 de
grees F. without flaming.
Cotton in itself is naturally water- 1
repellant, so the insulation will not !
tend to absorb water or vapor. Five
of the six forms in which the in
sulation comes are inclosed in j
asphalt-impregnated paper or in
combination with reflective metal
insulation. The other qualities of
cotton most of us are well acquaint
ed with—its cleanliness and freedom
from dust, odor and decay.
This insulation material is sup- i
plied in blankets 16 to 24 inches
wide and from 1 inch to 3% inches j
thick. It can be cut to lengths to '
meet any conditions in construction, i
The blanket types in which it comes '
are made with flanges for fasten
ing to rafters, joists or studs, holding |
the cotton blanket in the center of
the wall construction to provide
space on either side for circulation
of air. This increases the efficiency
of the insulation, as a small amount
of air space has some insulative j
value in its own right.

American Art Got Its
Start in Philadelphia
American art, which had its be- I
ginnings in a small way in Colonial
times in Philadelphia in the face of
pioneers' struggle and hardship, i
came into full flower when the last 1
frontier had been explored and
Americans turned to other pursuits. I
Tbe standard “Dictionary of Amer- |
ican Painters, Sculptors and En- I
gravers," by Mantle Fielding of
Philadelphia, lists the names of
more than 5,400 men and women
who have contributed to public and !
private art galleries, art museums
and institutions which now stretch
from coast to coast. Some of these j
names—George Inness (1825-94), I
landscape painter; James McNeill
Whistler (1834-1903), noted for his
portrait of “Mother”; Winslow Ho
mer (1836-1910), with his landscape
and marine paintings; Thomas Eak
ins (1844-1916), Philadelphia-born
artist and teacher; Mary Cassatt
(1845-1926), Pennsylvania “impres
sionist"; John Singer Sargent (1856-
1925), portrait painter; George Bel
lows (1882-1925); Currier and Ives,
and others became widely known. |
In a war-torn world, with 75 per
cent of the earth’s people locked in
mortal combat, America, the strong
hold of freedom and democracy, re
mains the last stronghold of art
and music and the other refinements
of civilization.
Type of Heart Disease
Specific reports on the various
types of heart disease are:
Congenital, the type present at
birth, uncommon and still difficult
to combat.
Rheumatic, occurring mostly in
the northern climates and not at all
in the tropics, also difficult, but with j
progress in combating it being made.
The superimposed type, occurring
through an invasion of the blood
stream by streptococcus, now 10 per
cent recoveries as compared with a
former less than 1 per cent.
Syphilitic, rare in advanced com
munities, with populations which co
operate in medical care and can be
eliminated entirely as a type of
heart disease.
Degenerative, which includes cor
onary and that associated with high
blood pressure. These, occurring in
the middle and older age groups (40
years and up), frequently result
from overeating, lack of any exer- I
cise and too much strain and
worry.
Shoes Go Military
Women's shoe styles arc gnin
military. Most of the 40,000 shoe
an exhibit at the annual conventio:
of the Middle Atlantic shoe retailer:
in Philadelphia showed a distinc
military influence, and stylists sa'
the tiend will be around for a while
H. C. Johnson, representative of Be
Icit (Wis.) manufacturer, declarcc
that the predominance of tan col
Dts with brass buckles and strap;
would be in effect for the next three
years.
By L. L. STEVENSON
Protection: Dean Henry Meyer of
Boston university, back from the i
Far East for his sabbatical year, ;
while in New York a few days ago, \
told how the Japs had concentrated 1
all the thugs, robbers and other j
crooks of Shanghai behind barbed I
! wire and forced them to live there
I with their families. Believing that I
even the children of criminals |
should have education, the dean took ;
the matter up with the outlaws. Aft
er some hesitation, consent was giv
en and classes were started. All
apprehension soon vanished and the
crooks decided that they should ex
press appreciation for what the dean
was doing. It took the form of a
badge that informed brother male- I
factors that the wearer was free to
roam the streets of Shanghai at any
hour without being molested. Dean j
Meyer, as did other teachers who
I became his assistants, wore the
! badge and found that it worked.

Cache: Eight heirs to an estate
I decided that rather than delay, they
would sell a house in Jersey City for
; $4,800 cash. On the day designated,
a young man, selected to represent
all the heirs, went to an attorney’s
office and signed the necessary pa
pers. That formality concluded, the
lawyer stepped over to his safe, took !
out a big bundle and informed the ,
representative it contained the pay- i
ment in full. The young man opened !
the package and found it contained
4,800 bills each of the value of one
dollar. Somewhat appalled, besought i
out three near-by heirs and paid
j them $6OO each. Then, his load light- !
I ened, but still fearful, he went to
his home. That evening another of
1 the heirs called on him to get her
share. There was a little delay. It
seems that the young man had hid
den the wealth with extreme care
in the ice-making compartment of
his electric refrigerator.

Fellow Feeling; Ilka Chase was
; entertaining some friends at her
East Fifty-seventh street apartment
| recently. Her very dependable maid
1 of all w#rk was on vacation and had
provided a substitute, Mary. Al
though this was her first venture in
“society service,” Mary, presenta
ble in her neat uniform and apron,
was quite at ear,*, as she opened
the door and ushered the guests into
| the living-room. But her entrance
i with cocktail tray and canapes was
ludicrous, anticipatory tremors hav
ing given her such a case of jitters
j the tray was jiggling violently. Miss
I Chase sped to her rescue. “Let me
help you,” she said, “I know just
! how you feel.”
“Oh, no, Miss Chase,” remon
i strated Mary. “How could you?”
I “Well, my dear,” responded the
■ actress, “I made my theatrical de
-1 but as a maid—and I was a hundred
times as nervous as you are when
11 made my first entrance."

Information: According to a cir
cular which for some reason I can’t
guess found its way to my desk, the
names together with business and
home addresses, of 1,838 millionaires
can be bought for only $35 while ■
list of 438 multi-millionaires can be
had for a mere $12.50. The names
and addresses of 7,689 women worth
$50,000 and more “keyed to indi
cate wealth," cost $lOO while 845 mil
lionaires “interested in art,” are
held to be worth $lOO. Then there
are 1,009 “wealthy widows worth
$250,000 and over" whose names and
j addresses are for sale at $2O. There
I are many more classifications, but
look as I would, I could find no
offerings of names and addresses of
columnists at any price.

Feminine: A scout reports that a
young woman of his acquaintance
was so worried about her weight
that she tried every diet that came
out. But to her dismay, she found
it impossible to lose weight. Then
I she fell in love. Her affection was
not returned and in no time at all,
she lost 30 pounds. Now she is tak
ing tonics and eating big meals in
an effort to gain back some of that
vanished flesh.

End Piece: Mrs. Marian Byram
is a volunteer fire warden who takes
her duties seriously. The other
morning while watching over the
Museum of Modern Art, she had
two Boy Scouts as assistants. As
they started on patrol, she asked
them their names. “Stanley,” said
one and “Livingston,” the other.
And for a moment, Mrs. Byram
wasn’t sure whether she was in New
York or darkest Africa.

CAPTAIN’S INSPECTION ON BOARD ONE
OF THE U.S. NAVY’S “COVERED WAGONS’’
Members of the crew of the air
craft carrier U. S. S. SARATOGA
are pictured as they line up for Cap
tain's inspection. Aircraft carriers in
the U. S. Navy are called “covered
wagons’’ because their miniature
half-acre airfields serve as the top
side decks for their hangars beneath
and form the largest covered decks
of any type ship in the Navy.
At the present time the U.S. Navy
has six carriers in operation from
any one of whose decks as many as
seventy-four planes can be launched
; in eighteen minutes and can be
landed in slightly more than twice
this time. In spite of their great
height and length, these carriers are
officially credited with designed
speeds of from 29 to 34 knots, which
is nearly that of the destroyers.
With new Navy ships of all de
scriptions being launched at the rate
of at least one every ten days, the
Navy and Naval Reserve need men
and offer opportunities for any quali
fied young man to receive free spe
cialized training worth hundreds of
dollars while receiving excellent pay
from the first day of enlistment.
