Six days a week for the last 20
years a museum on wheels has
bumped along Forsyth county’s
rural roads in North Carolina.
The vehicle carries “ Professor”
T. E. Woosley, veteran rural mail
carrier, along his route.
Back in the era of prosperity just
after the World war, Woosley’s “de
luxe model touring car” was the
king of the dirt roads.
Today it’s nothing less than a mu
seum, for it shows by vivid contrast
the startling progress realized in
the American automobile industry.
Flashy 1940 model beauties can
purr past him and tl)e occupants
can turn and smile in a you-poor-
man manner, but the “professor” is
satisfied with his 1920 machine.
Service is what he puts a premium
on, and he can't find any reason to
complain. Since July, 1920, the old
touring car has been faithful.
The speedometer broke years ago,
but the known mileage is far more
than 100,000 miles, and every day
59.3 miles are added.

If a Minnesota farmer finds a
gold, violet or red grasshopper in
his corn field he knows it’s one of
the 20,000 or more grasshoppers that
the state department of agriculture
painted and then turned loose over
the state.
State
entomologists naturally
aren't solely interested in raising
gayly colored grasshoppers. They
want to learn the direction of hopper
migrations.
Every now and then a batch of the
colored hoppers appear in some sec
tion of the state. Whenever a farm
er locates one of the colored flock he
notifies the agriculture department.
The pests are sprayed with the
lacquer of a chosen color, diluted
with banana oil. Any of the various
tints can be used.
Protective Insulation Board
The degree of protection from out
side temperatures that any house
can offer depends primarily not
upon the strength or thickness of its
walls but upon the insulating value
of the material used in construction.
For example, one inch of structural
insulating board in the walls gives
| weather protection equal to that ot
15 inches of common brick, 36
inches of concrete or three inches of
lumber One-half inch of insulation
board will reduce the heat loss
through walls and ceilings by one-
third. The first layer of insulating
board effects the greatest fuel sav
ing, the next less, the next still less,
and so on.

Drug Store Cowboy
There really is a drug store cow
boy in Oklahoma City. All the
messenger boys were on other er
rands when Miss Letha Scott, drug
gist. needed one in a hurry. Just
then Tup Robertson rode up on his
horse. “Tup, why don’t you make
this delivery for me?” said she.
And Tup was off in a flash It made
such a hit with the customer that
Miss Scott got two other boys with
horses, 10-gallon hats and trimmings
to carry her packages.
