ErcnrBBw yearsr ago an explosion in a tiny factory founded a great industr5r which today reaches all thi civilized world. That explosion took place in a high-pressure steam "gun" which literally blew wood apart to separate its basic ellulose fiber and. glue-like lignin. With varying heats and pressures, these elements were recombined. The result was Masonite* ligno.cellulose hardboards, materiali with a tlousand tested uses, made from wood but stronger than wood.

The war jobs these Masonite Presdwoods* have tackled are hundreds. The.peacetime jobs of Presdwoods will be even more numerous. Handsome wall paneling of these large, quick-andeasy-to-install hardboards will grace many of tomorrow's homes. Tomorrow's kitchens and bathrooms will gleam with highly finished, enamel-like surfaces made of Presdwoods.

To home and commercial buildings, Presdwoods will bring the advantages of unusual workability. Cut or saw them with ordinary woodworking tools. They have no tendency to chip, rrarp of split. They resist moisture. And their smooth, hard surface is splendid for almost every kind of finish.

(Continued from Page 8) tinue to defend the Fatherland against all comers, and that she would never under any circumstances capitulate. Ten days later the big Boche and his army had laid down their arms. Of course he well knew when he was talking so big on November first that he was at the end of his rope. What he was doing was looking for a better quitting price. Remember that, when you do yo,ur thinking about the possibility of a quick ending to the present war. Von Hindedburg was talking big like the guy whistling in a graveyard. Hitler today is so frightened he can't even whisper. At least Von Hindenburg was no coward. Hitler will screant for mercy wheh his time comes. Old Von Hindenburg was a brave man.

When the Germa" U".*"ar"" went to Marshall Foch to ask for terms in World War One, they got a fearful shock. General Foch began dictating a set of terms and conditions. As he proceeded the Germans turned white with fear and anger, so brutal and heartless were the terms. Said the German leader: "There must be some mistake ! Surely no civilized country wo'uld impose such unthinkable terms." Foch sat back and grinned. "You are right," he said, "no civilized country would. What you just heard are the terms imposed on the French city of Lille by the German commander who captured it. Those are not our terms. I just wanted to get your true opinion of yourselves. Now here are our terms," and he handed out an entirely new manuscript.

The second bombing of Japan sent a thrill through America. The message our bombs sent was-"Get ready to take what Berlin is getting." The last time Japan was invaded was by tle scrappy Mongolian, Kubla Khan, in the year L24l A.D. The American B-29's travel a bit faster and hit a bit harder than the Khan's horseback soldiers could. And what they will do to that flimsy island when they start going over in masses !

*'F* lVhen Rome was spared the devastation of this war, among.the thousands of priceless buildings that were thus savgd was of course, St. Peter's. Sixty thousand people can worship in that church at the same time. It has 29 altars of worship. When Napoleon took Rome he stole about one hundred wonderful paintings from the Vatican and placed them in the Louvre in Paris. After Watetloo, 72 of those paintings were returned. The most valuable work of art in Rbme when this present war started was Titian's "Sacred and Profane Love," for which J. P. Morgan in vain offered seven million dollars. Guess where Hitler has this painting now ! ft would be silly to suppose he failed to take it. *t(+

What a great part the Jeep is playing in this war. It is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking mechanisms the war has produced. Worrlds of people are interested in the postwar place of the Jeep. .They want to know what these interesting and efficient little gas buggies will cost for civilian use, what practical value they will have and to whom and where and for what. For instanccl: the Department of Agriculture of the State of California alone, says it has requests for 27,000 Jeeps when they can'.r be had. Farmers are interested in them everywhere. So;,.i are loggers. So are many other industries. The Jeep has" i been well advertised, and has caught'the public fancy in:,d great style. - tl

The number of Jeeps we are building now is a military'.i'i: secret. They are being made entirely, we understand' by:;; the Willys-Overland Company. Up to last spring thi$-;: company rvas reported to have delivered oVer 200,(XlO Jeepsi: Ford, using Willys-Overland patents, made about 150'(X)0r Jeeps, which completed their contract. One other auto,:j concern made a relatively small number of Jeeps. They are.,j understood to cost the Government about $900 each, i"ud# as they are today. There is much discussion-a hot con*; troversy, in fact-about wtro originated the Jeep. The Feil',,'i eral Trade Commission is reportedly trying to find out fon certain who gets the credit. Undoubtedly Willys-Overland worked out the plan for the machine as it is today. Butii whose was the original idea? That's the question. Andri what will a Jeep cost after the war? And who will them? No doubt the Jeep could be built in postwar aan.: by commercial builders for a lot less than $9(X), since thing in war time costs oxcessively to manufacture. the little puddle-jumper will outlii'e the wan and into a big future, is the general opinion.

We see strange things here at home. The United Supreme Court, that august tribunal to which every turned as a final protector of right and justice, has, in t'hb; past few years fallen to a low level no one would ever dreamed of. Witness the fact that recently someone authorized by the Association invited a member of Supreme Court to iddress the annual convention of Texas Bar Association, Such a hullabuloo was raised the Association President issued a public denial that jurist had ever received an official invitation. The j reading of the matter, cancelled his engagement. But the convention at which he was to have spoken took they passed a stern resolution criticizing and the United States Supreme Court. It proves what has said a million times in the last few years; packing a tribunal of justice politically, is bad business.

In the next couple of weeks we will hear much talk "not changing horses in the middle o'f the stream." 1932, an eloquent gentletnan settled that question, so as I am concerned, for all time, in a few well chosen He said: "There will be many in this nation during coming months who will implore you'not to swap crossing a streanr. As a matter of course there has been any sound basis for the 'Don't change horses' ment. Were it sound in its relation to politics, it: mean ttrat no public official could ever be replaced." speech was made in St. Paul, Minnesota. The year 1932. The speaker was Franklin D. Roosevelt.
