Strange But True

pm you know that the long bones in your arms and legs are twice as strong as a piece of hick- my the same size, and will bend and gprlng back considerably with- out breaking?

Luggaga damage on trains. bus- ”, planes and boats. amounted to approximately 32,000,000 in the U. S.A. and Canada in 1952. How to he come by this knowledge? The same way the Bureau of Sta- tistics gathers all data-that is. by going after it.

'11; this case, sample suitcases rere sent on 12.000 mile trips all W" the continent. The better nadc ones stood up under the oicklng up and setting down tran- gacilulls. Those of inferior make lost their handles or allowed other ;;:-n5 of damage before travelling mif this distance.

so the question to ask yourself aelore you set out on a lengthy :)Il1'llE.V is: How strong should my yarclling case be?

Lead poisoning is sometimes mated to tea cups decorated with golored glazes oontainlng lead. The tannic acid In the tea dis- tolres enough lead. Lemon Juice llld vinegar act the same way, -hemisls have found.

In medieval tlmm a foot was the,

length of a person's foot, a fathom the lcngth of his outstretched i:-ms. They varied from person to mrson nntura.liy. .

Up until comparatively recently measurements were as tricky as a pig on ice. For example, a bushel of wheat in certain of the South- em States contained 68 cubic in- iu more than a bushel in New York City. A pound of spuds in one city often weighed less than a pound in another city.

This curious fact is accounted for by different cities and towns

using varying weights and mess- ures. All this confusion has been changed thanks to precision starr- dards. Without them the world would be a hocus-pocus of chaos.

Even the length of a second of time can be crucial in today's world of let planes and radio pulse. and to fill the need for ac- curate measures oi time. N. B. S. broadcasts around the clock ;he nation's "standard second", a "tick-took-tick". 24 hours a. day. The time space between ticks is one second. accurate to one part in a million.

Did you know that the calendars for 1942 and 1953 are exactly alike? If you happen to have a 1842 model kicking about you'll find the dates this year are the some as they were 11 years ago.

Sliver spoons tarnished by boll- ed eggs are easily cleaned by rub- bing them with damp table salt.

so far as accidents go the num- ber one killer in our country last year was the automobile. Or to put it another way, accident death toll on the home front was twice as great as the toll of Canadian dead on the Korean battlefields. This amazing fact should give every one of us a first-hand pic- ture of what goes on on the highs ways of our nation and make us

conscious of our responsibilities when we drive cars. . . .

Birds in-the nest often consutne more than their own weight in 24 hours.

The presidency of the United states is not a one-man job as some people seem to think. The present president has a personal staff of 250 men and women each of whom offers advice and coun- sel. But of course. the chief exec- utive gets the credit and that's that.

And many of the best speeches you hear on the radio, or read in newspapers and magazines are the brain children of some clever ghostwriter. The ghostwriter gets paid for his work of course. but the speaker gets the big hand from the public.

Few athletes earn higher. in- comes than professional builflght- ers. Top performers earn as much as 310,000 for an afternoon.

Presumably this is the Russian IL-28 which files close to the speed of sound and can L!t'ry the atom bomb. It was sighted in Korea before.

It is known the Communsits flew lswarms of planes into North Kor- ea the night the armistice became effective. Some flew in after the armistice deadline. If they re- mained based in the north. this was I violation of a. truce ban against military reinforcements. I United states.Air Force radar picked up the flights of planes from Manchurian bases to North Korea. but at that late stage at night Allied planes were helpless to stop them. Furthermore. Allied night planes had been called to base early lest they violate the
