npO put its discoveries into practical use 

 as soon as possible, the Forest prod- 

 ucts Laboratory, Madison, Wisconsin, has 

 adopted the plan of sending out at short in- 

 tervals a sheaf of so-called "Technical 

 Notes." These notes are not too technical, 

 however, for the average wood worker. 

 They are simply practical suggestions 

 backed up by many tests, on such subjects 

 as how to build bo.xes and crates, make 

 waterproof glue joints, prevent decay in 

 wood, tell commercial woods apart, or keep 

 doors from shrinking and swelling. The 

 notes are distributed in quantity to the 

 wood-using associations, to technical 

 schools and colleges, and upon request to 

 all others who might benefit by them. 



A knowledge of the properties of wood is 

 as essential for aircraft repair men as for 

 aircraft builders. The new school for air- 

 plane mechanics at the Great Lakes Naval 

 Training Station will give Navy aircraft 

 repair men a thorough training in the 

 selection and treatment of airplane woods. 

 Instructors in this school have been de- 

 tailed for some time to the Forest Prod- 

 ucts Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, to 

 collect information for use in their courses. 

 The laboratory is also furnishing the school 

 material for a text book on wood identifi- 

 cation, inspection, conditioning and testing.
