CHARACTER OF KELLY PLATES
Outdoors all day, threading its way through traffic,
vibrating at the corners where street lantern lights
flicker their red "Stop" and green "Go" signals, the
"radio home" on wheels spins a splendid publicity
stunt that fixes the name of the Liberty organization
upon the consciousness of the public, as a musical
as well as radio organization.

COURSES FOR WOOD USERS
Forest Products Laboratory Announce Periods for
Gluing, Kiln Drying and Crating.
The U. S. Forest Products Laboratory, Madison,
Wis., announces that the regular spring short courses
in the gluing of wood, kiln drying of lumber, and
boxing and crating will start April 4, April 11 and
April 18 respectively. The gluing and the boxing
and crating courses are of a week's duration but the
course in the kiln drying of lumber will run from
April 11 until April 23.
The practical aim of the glue course is to show
glue room executives how to eliminate defects caused
by faulty gluing operations on furniture and other
glued up articles.
. The kiln drying course is intended to impart a
knowledge of wood properties and fundamental dry-
ing principles that will enable dry kiln operators to
dry lumber with the minimum of degrade, and in as
short a time as possible.
The boxing and crating course is given for the
benefit of shippers and manufacturers who are in-
terested in finding types of shipping containers which
will give adequate protection to goods in shipment
with a minimum of lumber, shipping space, and
weight.
The glue course enrollments will be limited to 16;
enrollments in the kiln drying course to 18; and in
the boxing and crating course to 20. The cooperative
fee involved is $100 each for students in the two
shorter courses and $150 for each man taking the kiln
drying course.
