Heavy Drop In Potatoes
By Associated Press

Washington, May 2S.-Potatoes reached the lowest price of the season in the last week when old stock sold in carloads at Chicago for 50 cents per 100 pounds, or 30 cents a bushel, ac- cording to reports today to the bureau of markets.
 A year ago the price was s7.50. In most large eastern wholesale markets the price range today Is from 75 cents to dollar.
 New southern potatoes declined S2 per barrel during the week under pres- sure of increasing supplies from the Carolinas. Shipments of old and new stock are heavy for this time of year. Sweet potatoes declined slightly, but at s250 to $3 per bushel are actually and declaratively much higher than white stock.

Lifelong Health Conditions

very comprehensive form of health certificate is proposed for use in Ger many, says the Popular Mechanics Mag azine. If adopted, 1t would form a record of the health of each individual at any stage of life. and at death would furnish complete history of that individual s whole physical life. This record would constitute a single health certificate, in which would be combined the certificates of birth, of vaccination, the health re- ports of school medical examiners, and in later life the reports of health insurance societies, in which all Germans in indus trial life are registered. The result would be of value. during the life of the in- dlvidual in furnishing any attending physician with a complete family history and after death, these certificates would be collected in a central bureau, where they would furnish material for the study of heredity.

CAMERA OF IMMENSE SIZE
chicaeoan Has One Three Times Big.
ger Than Any Other Known to
Be in Existence.

A camera that is thought to be three
times as large as any other in the
world Is that owned by a scientist in
Chicago. With 1t several noted pic
lures have been taken, including
bird's-eye views of factories and
towns. 1t is also used for enlarging
purposes. f
The body of this giant camera Is 8
feet 4 inches wide, 6 feet high, and
20 feet long when fully extended. and
In its construction over thirty gallons
OF glue were used. The lens Is IL
inches in diameter and cost 81. 500. All
moving parts, including the curtain
slide, run on roller bearings. The To-
cusing Is accomplished by two panels
Of glass, which can be moved to all
parts of the field. The plateholder
weighs nearly 500 pounds when load
ed and Is put into the camera by
means Of 2 derrick. Great care Is used
In loading, as a broken plate would
result In loss Of $50. The plates are
made Of plate glass 8 feet long by 4
feet 8 inches wide, and weigh over 200
pounds.
In order to dust the plates man en-
tiers the camera through the opening in
the front. A piece of ruby glass Is
then placed over the lens and the slide
in the plateholder Is withdrawn. After
the plate has been busted the slide is
replaced and the man steps out.
In making engagements the focus
ing Is done from the inside and the op-
nrofnr remains IN tho caY.1arD during
the exposure. In this process the en-
tire apparatus is supported by springs,
which absorb any possible vibration.

Ordeal by Solitude.

Shallow people are incapable of soil
tude. To the empty head solitude is a
desert, terribly infested with the
hyenas of loneliness and boredom. To
the thoughtful, solitude Is spiritual
necessity as imperious as the physical
necessity Of food. '"The greatest events
are not our noisiest but our stillest
hours Open still remaineth a
free life for great souls Empty
are still many sites for lone ones and
twain ones, around which floateth the
odor Of tranquil seas."-Boston Globe.
