In the same way that there is a market for worn-out automobiles and for the scrap iron of ocean liners and freighters, the material coming front airplanes that have outlived their usefulness is of the highest value in the j art of bracemaking. Kern explained. The fine metal and tubing from l discarded airplanes, he has found within the past few years, conI stitutes the best material avail--1 able for the manufacture of fracI ture-setting appartus, overhead pulleys, rods and other appliances necessary in every hospital. Often these vary a<lording to each patient and must be specially made, but the greatest problem has been to find a proper material that was sufficiently light and at the same time strong. Kern, a graduate of the University of Heidelberg, for a number of years has specialized exclusively in the manufacture of hospital casts. Old airplane material, he eaid, has solved one of his most difficult problems. o Good Weather Is Bad For Juvenile Delinquency MILWAUKEE (U.R)—A study by probation officers revealed that when the weather is bad children are good. John J. Kenney, chief | probatiop officer of the juvenile I court, said that juvenile delin- , quency increased 25 per cent in j the first five months of 1937 over the same period of 1936. In 1936, Kenney said, snowdrifts I : and zero weather kept children inI! doors, but in 1937 the winter was I I so mild that the youths were outdoors much of the time and more of them got into trouble. Kenney said there al.ways is an , inverse relationship between the weather and child delinquency. o Japanese Have Own Epworth DELANO, Cal. (U.R) — This city believes it has the only purely I Japanese Epworth League chapter i in the United States.

sional baseball if he can make the grade. Bill. Jr., captain-catcher of the University of Virginia freshman team the past season, would like to follow his father's footsteps if he thought he "had a chance to make the grade in big league baseball." The youth. 6 feet, two inches tall, became backstop for the Virginia freshmen mainly because they lacked a receiver, and at the end of the season his batting average was the highest of the club. Urged by Dick Fletcher, freshman coach. Young Terry plans next year to try out as a pitcher on the varsity nine. His father began as a southpaw pitcher, but eventually was switched to first base. He believes the Yanks and the Giants will win the American and National league pennants again this year. “The Yankee team I saw in the World Series last year was the greatest club I've ever seen, and it hasn't grown a bit weaker." the youth said. “The Giants are greatly improved by the fastest infield in the league, and we missed that speed last year. I believe dad s l team will move out in front with the hot weather, and the Yankees should finish on top with plenty to spare. ot spare.” o Blondes Are "Homespun" PINE VALLEY, Okla.
