Picturesque Spanish Moss Now Has New Jobs Long noted for its picturesque contribution to Floridu's scenery, Spanish moss is developing into a definite economic asset furnishing employment and income to hundreds of Floridians, according to J. S. Foley, chairman of the industrial committee of the Florida State Chamber of Commerce. For years the springy, hair-like fibers of the cured-and-"ginned," gray strands huve been used for stuffing upholstered furniture and mattresses. But today many new uses are being discovered, and Spanish moss is being found in many guises, he declared. One of these new uses for Spanish moss fibers has been developed by the modern air-conditioning industry. The fibers are woven into a mat, ' held in a wooden or metal frame, and placed in the air-intake to clean and filter the incoming air. Oft times the mat is moistened with a sticky, resinous oil, and it will then pick up all dust particles as the air wends its way through the labyrinth of small air passages in the fiber mat. Similar air-cleanin| use of Spanish moss fiber Is made In filter! attached to carburetors on automobile, airplane, .and other internal combustion engines. Spanish moss has also been dis- I covered to be a valuable source of nourishment for range cattle. Ana, while rather bulky for cooking in an ordinary kettle, man could use its broth as a vegetable broth if so minded. Despite its range of occurrence throughout the South, Spanish moss enters commercial channels almost entirely from the states of Lousiana and Florida, it is stated. Florida has 10 firms supplying commercial Spanish moss, according to the Florida Industrial Directory of 1035. Persian Inscriptions May Prove Big Historic Find Recently discovered inscriptions, made about 290 A. D. by Kartir, a ZoroAStrian high priest and power behind the throne, are hailed by University of Chicago archeologists as of vast importance in the study of t ancient languages and history. Dr. Martin Sprengling, internationally known authority on ancient languages, made the translations from photographic enlargements of the inscriptions. He compared them in archeological importance to the Rosetta stone, which unlocked the ancient Egyptian language. Dr. Sprengling estimated the inscriptions were made about 290 A. D. by Kartir, a Zoroastrian high priest and kingmaker, whose career interlaced those of four ancient Persian rulers. The inscriptions were In Pahlavi, a Middle Persian language which contains words of both Semitic and Parthian origin. They were discovered near the ancient city of Persepolis by archeologists from the University of Pennsylvania, and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. The Kartir stones reveal, Dr.. Sprengling said, that the ancient Persians did not practice religious tolerance, contrary to previous conclusions from romantic literature. Religious groups using sacred writings for guidance were persecuted, according to the new translation. It was indicated that the Zoroastrians then had no such sacred book of their own. The Zoroastrian Kartir, Dr. Sprengling said, is revealed as having been one of the most important religious figures of all time. Inscriptions mentioning him were discovered in 1936, but he then was spoken of only as an obscure young churchman. Would Aid Nature Lovers National recreation leaders who have been busy organizing games in city parks for people's leisure time are placing more emphasis this year on appreciation of natural beauty in the out-of-doors, V. K. Brown, president of the Midwest Institute at Park Executives, told a conference on nature recreation and education recently. " If appears that the new leisure time has sent people to parks to ask officials to map out more softball diamonds, more cricket fields, more tennis courts. The whole movement of organizing people into teams and tournaments for various kinds of organized play has gathered such momentum, recreation leaders point out, that some of the good old-fashioned enjoyment of the out-of-doors has been pushed to the background. As some of the speakers expressed it at the conference, the extension of playflelds in some cases has shut out the man who just wants to be quiet and observe the trees, flowers, birds, squirrels, and take in a little sunshine. Extended beaches, for instance, have cut off the view of the people who just want to leisurely sit and watch the waves roll in. Army War College The Army War college at Wash<nytf>n.

I' Mormons' 1947 Fair Marks Era in West To Celebrate Centennial of Entry Into Utah. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH?Although the World's fairs and expositions of 1039 are still not over, a new exposition is being planned far 1047. It is the Utah centennial exposi-? tion. The exposition, to be held from May 1 to October 15, 1947, will mark the 100th anniversary of the entrance into Salt Lake valley of the group of Mormon pioneers, whom Brigham Young led away from persecution^, in tyie East to form a new home in the western desert. A 16-man centennial commission has been appointed by Gov. Henry H. Blood to plan the exposition. The commission's membership includes many of Utah's leading citizens and has far its chairman David O. McKay, second counselor to Heber J. Grant, president of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) church. Other states will be invited to participate in the exposition as well M the federal government. No definite site has been selected for the buildings that will house the centennial exhibits, although the ommission is studying several possible locations in Salt Lake valley near Salt Lake City. In addition to commemorating the entrance of the Mormon pioneers into the valley, the exposition also is designed, under terms of a 1939 state law, to "portray fittingly the natural resources and scenic wonders of Utah, the prehistoric culture of the West and the development of irrigation, farming, mining, forestry, transportation, culture and the arts." The anniversary of the entrance of the Mormon pioneers into Salt Lake valley-?July 24?is celebrated in Utah even more vigorously than the Fourth of July. Women's Dress Fashions Blamed for Fire Deaths NEW YORK.?Women's clothing is to blame for about 1,500 American women burning to death annually. These victims of feminine dress fashions are listed by the statistical bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. "It would seem by this time," the bulletin states "that people would have learned how to use matches safely and to smoke without endangering their lives and the lives of others." Yet, in this study, matches and cigarettes hold third place as the cause of setting fatal flres to women's clothing. Stoves, furnaces, and grates rank first, and inflammable liquids second. Chemists have begun to produce flreproofing for flimsy fabrics, and this seems to be the best hope of the future for cutting down the dress fire fatalities. War Halts Importation Of Doll* From Europe ? FORT WORTH, TEXAS.?E. Leininger has a special reason for disliking the men who cause wars in Europe. It stops the flow of dolls and doll parts to this country from abroad. "American-mode dolls are better," said Leininger, "but many dolls are repaired and handed dov n from generation to generation. Most dolls originally sold in America came from Germany or other European countries and the owners want to keep them intact for years to come." But wars halt that. Prices on imported doll parts already are up 50 per cent. Leininger has repaired almost every kind of doll in the 25 years that he has operated a "doll hospital" here. Auction Selling Brings More for Stock in Texas CENTER, TEXAS.?The chant of the cattle auctioneer is luring prosperity to east Texas ranchmen and farmers. The auction system is relatively new in this area, but already brings top prices for live stock. Operators of the auction barns make their money through a small fee for handling the stock, usually 75 cents s head for cattle, 25 cents for hogs and goats. Auctioneers collect their pay from the barn operators. Stockmen and farmers generally refuse to sell cattle directly from their pastures. They prefer to let competitive bidding hike the price. German Lad Enlists in Royal Ordnance Corps LONDON.?Ernst Seligman, an 18-year-old.German, changed his name to Ernest George Sykes, gave his age as 23, and managed to enlist in the royal army ordnance corps. Not only so, but ~ he also managed to get promotion to the rank of lance-corporal I before he was discovered and arrested for a breach of the aliens order. He said that when enlisting he gave his age as 23 because they wanted to put him in (he Scots Guards and he wanted to be in another regiment. - 1- J..J. '1 ii. .
