To determine why cotUm fabrics •cm- out, the U, S, Burawi of Home Economics hM made • laboratory lest oi 400 sheets discarded by a big Washington hoteL
The results of the tests have been submitted to manufacturers of sheet¬ ing, who are trying to find way* to make sheets which will wear longer ill the parts whcr* these gave out.

I^a>usTRIES
Economists, statesmen and capital¬ ists are hunting for new industries to taiw up the sbicic in permanent employment resulting from the ex- tensionk of latmr-saving devices in ettabKsfaed industries.
One thing that is being seriously considered by one of the great con¬ cerns which manufactures mechani- cal drvtrei. is a machine which can be installed in the home, like a railio or a refrigerator, which will cool the house, or at least the room it is in, ia rummer. In the laboratory it is pnasible to do this now. What is needed is the develofment of this on a commercial Kale, to aell at a price within the reach of the average family.
In time, and perhaps in a very short time, something like that will become a great industry,

AIPPLANES
Far the first time since Hying was invented, anybody can now buy a lervioeable, up^to-date plane, com¬ plete with engine and all necessary equipment, for less than fl.OOO,
That does not mean, however, that flying is about to become a* popular at notoring. For one thing, an air- pjane still needs a lot of room from wMah to take off and hmd iri; it is aol adapted to the use of the city dweller. Parking space for airplanes ii oot easily found.
Hevertheless, young (oik are prac- liciNl flying in increasing numbers and jtaMs are being steadily improved as isl^Uty and durability in the air. IMuaandt more lives will be iacri- Iced hefore the safe airphuie it per- ¦feeled, but it is safe to tay that in another fifty yeart the air will have lost most of itt danger.
GONCRBTE
I* writhig the hittory of human procrau a OMUtand yeart from now one of Ihc important milestones whirh will kave to >e recorded will be the invenlkM of Portland cement, in thr early 1800^ The ute of concrete Goniietiiig of Portland cement and •tind. gravel or cruahed ttone is one of lm great advances made practi¬ cally in our own time. It is still so new tfiat all of its possible applica- tkms have not been realiied.
An improvement in concrele. m.il: ing' it at once lighter and mor nearly fireproof, hat just been de vcloped. Tests by Columhia L'niv crtily experts proved that it resists a temperature of l,80U degrees am, weighs lets than a third of ordmar) concrete, bulk for bulk. It it made by adding aluminum powder and soda to the aggregate. 1 he aJuini- num generates hydrogen gas and makes the concrete rise like bread, so that it takes only a third at niucii to fill t given space. Two inches of the liquid mass poured for a floor, for example, will rise to near¬ ly sin inches thick, drying as it expand*.
Fireproof and heatproof homes will  be  regarded  as  necessities  a
hundred years hence

REST
A ten-minute rest every two or three hours is a better stimulus to continued efficiency than lopping off an entire hour from the work- • ig day, the Women's Bureau of the U, S, Department of Labor reports.
Tests of the recuperative power of the human machine have proved that it takes four times as long for the muscles to rest when they have been worked to the endurance limit, as it does for them to regain their tone aiter working half as long.
In one. large New Vork publish¬ ing house there is a ten-minute rest period at 10.30 in the niornitig and another  at  3  in  the  afternoon.
The tame office closes down all day Satjrday from April to October. Its record of production, is higher than in any office with which itt work has been compared.
Mental workert as well as physi¬ cal workert benefit by complete re- Isxstion at frequent intervals.

The vacation season having ended the Pastor, Dr. W. H. Wotring, will occupy the pupllt of St. John's Re¬ formed church next Sunday morn¬ ing.   As was the custom for a score and more years Labor Day Sunday will be observed.   The Social Service Commission of the Reformed church In the United States again recom¬ mends that the Labor Sunday mes¬ sage Issued by the Federal Couivcil of the Churches of Christ In Am¬ erica   be   again   read.   This Is an opportune message and wtll occupy eight  minutes to read.   Heretofore the Pastor has dlscus.sed Labor Day themes   like   the   following:   "Tne Dignity of Labor."  "Ood's  Law  of( Labor,"   "The   Beauty   of   Labor, "i "Moses and Labor." "The Paciflca-| tion of Industry," "The Democracy, of   Industry"   and   "Stewardship.' i Thus  far  people  have  uken  very little interest tn these services. j
Labor Day like Thanksgiving Day Is a day which the religious Inter-1 pretatlon Is almost forgotten.
