The research has resulted in making previously naon-stick substax adhesionable, and has substantiated a scientific theory that it termed through" in the field of industrial chemistry. An internationally known expert on adhesive joints formulated and carried out the research. He is Jacob J. Bikerman, a research a the Department of Civil and Sanitary Engineering. Since 1956, Mr. has been supervisor of the department's adhesives laboratory. "Adhesive joints" is the technical term for the sticking togethe ing, of two or more materials. The emergence of completely new recent years, especially those composed of metal and plastics, has need for more effective methods of joining components for a wide applications. Some of the new polymeric materials (plastics) are ( so that their adhesive properties are poor, or non-existent.

The grant will allow man to carry out additional research in support of his theory.

And when date. they went in for more relaxing entertainment, it wvas tie man wvith the laciest ruffles who won the hand of the maid in distress. m In the early days of the United States, men of distinction were never seen in public without their lace collars. Even such hardy revolutionaries as Thomas Jefferson and George Washington affected this custom. Generals rode into battle with a proper touch of silk at the neck, and hardly an officer could be 0 - - found who didn't copy their fashion lead. Those Casual Americans It could even be argued that shirt styles helped wvin the War for Inde- pendence. Benjamin Franklin, appointed ambassador to France for the colonies during the Revolution, scorned the fancy vestments of the Europeans. He usually appeared at receptions dressed in the simple, homely and unembroidered shirts that symbolized the new America. This lack of affectation endeared himl to the French, and it was largely through their help that the colonies obtained their military supplies. The color of a shirt has often had political significance. The British soldiers, known as the redcoats, could have more properly been called the "red- shirts." It was usually the only garment they wore on their chests, and its bright hue made a perfect target for the American soldiers. In the Civil War, the shirts of blue and grey separated a great nation for four bloody years. And in more recent times, radical groups have used the shirt as their rallying symbol. The black shirts of the Fascists, the red ones of the Communists, and the brown ones of the Nazis are an unforgettable reminder of terrorism. During the twentieth century, the emphasis has been on comfort. Photo-- graphs and silent movies bring back to mernory those high, choking collars that once were in style. Those grim expressions we often see in old portraits were probably due to the subject's agony. It was like wearing a perpetual dog collar, laced tight by a string-like tie. Happy Days Are Here Again Modern shirt design has made shirt-wearing a pleasure. Not only are there a large assortment of sizes to fit each individual, but there are different collar styles that can almost change your personality. There are shirts for play, and shirts for dress, and even Biway shirts that are convertible to either mode. The man who is conscious of his appearance - and who can afford not to be? will see to it that he chooses the style most appropriate for his needs. One of America's leading shirt-makers offers a line of collar styles that actually seem to change your height and weight! They accent your good fea- tures and minimize physical irregularities, providing you with maximium comfort at the same time. Chatty Advice If you're the long, lean and wiry type, the short point, medium spread "Glen" or the round-cornered "Tabber" collars will make you look less hungry. And if you're at the heavier end of the scale, the medium-point "Drake" style gives you a slimmer and neater appearance. For extra-thick necks, a special low-slope "Drew" collar provides long-needed comfort. The famous Gordon Oxford shirt has long been a favorite on college cam- puses; in fact, the button-down shirt is fast becoming the big style in office and casual wear. Its neatness and withering resistance reduce the need for con- stant shirt changes, too. The revolution in collars, produced by the research of Arrow and other companies, makes it possible for you to choose for your own unique needs. The style you wear no longer tells about your job, but it tells a lot about your clothing consciousness. If Sherlock Holmes were still around, he could at least make one deduction: the man who selects the right collar knows shirts. It brings out the best in him. And even Watson wouldn't be surprised to hear, "It's elementary, my dear doctor." ilters as HU sin"le fa for miid, full flavor!
