Among the things recently demonstrated by the federal forest 

 products laboratory at Madison, Wis., is that a much stronger 

 box than the type ordinarily used can be made with less material 

 by increasing the number of nails and by properly proportioning 

 the thickness of the sides and ends. A loss that reaches many 

 millions" of dollars annually is, it is stated, caused by damage 

 to goods in transit, largely because of faulty containers.
