Cotton. Nearly 1,000 miles of cotton-reinforced asphalt road will be laid in the U. S. this summer in a demonstration backed by the Federal Government. Asphalt-with-cotton needs less maintenance than ordinary bituminous road surfacing, the fabric preventing cracking, water seepage, minimizing heaving when frost comes out of the ground. Eight to ten bales of cotton are required for each mile of road. If all bituminous resurfacing were done with cotton, a market for some 400,000 bales would be provided annually. Latest development in cotton is an experiment in converting the entire plant-boll, pod, leaves...

In We Are From Kron stadt, the sailors are determinedly glorified as immortal heroes...
...carrying the copper sheet rotates a notch. In effect the robot electrically scans the design line by line, much as a modern televisor scans an image. It does not matter how complex the pattern is. A signature scrawled on the copper sheet would come out faithfully reproduced in the fabric...
