Nursing Sick Pigs. Best help in preventing hog worms is good pasture rotated so that young pigs (most susceptible to worms) are put on parasite-free soil. Lice, which may cause restlessness and lack of appetite, can be killed by oily dips. Lime and sulfur solution controls mange. In each case, the whole pig must be dipped. Usual system is to make him swim through a dip 40 or more inches deep, duck his head somewhere en route...
Induction-heating by radio waves has come to the rescue of the tremendous program of tin-saving announced by U.S. Steel Corp. last spring (TIME, April 6). By electroplating tin on sheet steel, ½ lb. of tin may be spread over 100 lb. of steel. The old hot-dip process used 1½ lb. So $15 million worth of tin electroplating equipment was built, on the expectation that much tin used for U.S. tinplate would be saved. Nowhere before has electroplating been done on such an enormous production scale. Some single tinning lines turn out a continuous sheet three-feet...
...outbreak] in which a brigade staff is headquartered. The street bordering it on the north along the German lines has been smashed by mortar fire. At one intersection, where I remember the policeman who used to direct traffic, a tommy-gunner now stands, showing the passing soldiers a dip in the road invisible to the Germans...
...most often compared to an oldtime general store, but it is more than that. A typical exchange has a bar serving low alcoholic beer (it may not be intoxicating), juke boxes, a shooting range, a soda fountain where a soldier can buy a lunch topped off by a triple-dip ice-cream soda. Usually there are also a barbershop, cobbler's shop, a tailor to make alterations in issue clothing for the carefully dressed soldier. Last week the Exchange Service added a new feature: officer's uniforms that a new second lieutenant can buy within the range...
Giant U.S. Steel Corp. last week announced that it would soon perform a near-miracle: save critical tin supplies, make better and cheaper tinplate at the same time. The miracle-worker is a new process which plates by the electrolytic method instead of the old-fashioned dip method. To do the job, Big Steel is dishing out $15,500,000 of its own cash for new plants & equipment at Pittsburgh, Chicago and Birmingham. Besides this, the company is installing six new lines to treat black plate (i.e., thin steel plate) chemically. When lacquered by can-makers, chemically treated black plate...
