In English textile factories, the
use OF the oscilloscope has latterly
speeded up production from 100 to
500 per cent. Take, for instance, the
typical case of a calico print factory
10 illustrate the superior results that
have obtained where the remarkable
lamp has been used as an aid to man
ufacture. Previous to the installation
of the new lamps. the material passed
In front OF the operators at a velocity
"f 100 feet per minute. This was the
highest possible speed at which. with
unassisted human vision. the work
ers could observe the patterns. Look
Ing at this motion of materials
through the oscilloscope made them
appear to be moving at q speed Of
but one foot q minute. Hence. by it's
use, the movement of materials could
be efficiently increased one hundred
times.
In any manufacturing industry
where the daily output is dependent
on the ability of the human eye to
follow manufacturing processes, the
output can be increased one hundred
fold by the installation Of the oscil-
loscope system
In the making of cotton cloth, the
light will even show all knots in the
fiber that are not correctly tied, an
accomplishment entirely beyond tho
provprovince Of the human eye.
The government experts say that
American industry will benefit I'M
measurably from the countrywide
utilization of the oscilloscope wher-
ever it is possible to harness this ex-
traordinary flashing light to the cur
rent needs of our manufacturers.

Already the use of the apparatus has
revolutionized certain forms OF in
dustry in the land Of Johnny Bulls
native heath. The new device has
solved many OF the most complex
riddles of the cotton spinning, textile
printing, worsted spinning, weaving,
paper printing. lace making and mo-
tion picture Industries. =
To the average layman, the oscillo-
scope looks like such q simple and
innocent piece of apparatus that 1t
Is hard to believe 1t will accomplish
the niarvels 1t performs. Its princi-
pal working part is a special gear
box which must be fastened to the ro-
tating part of the machinery to be
examined There Is also a two-unit
lamp in the equipment. as well as
several storage batteries which op-
crate the light.
Suppose that the kobbin of a cot
ton spinning machine is out of order
and does not function properly. AL
though this bobbin Is moving at
speed Of 10000 revolutions a minute
when the lamp is properly adjusted
and its glow directed toward the
rapidly moving piece of machinery.
the bobbin seems to be travelling at
a speed OF only 100 turns TO the min
ute. BY merely turning different
switches on the lamp. the observer
can either make the bobbin run back.
ward, make it move at an incredibly
slow pace or else make 1t appear to
stand still. Accordingly, every factor
involved In the operation Of the bob
bin can be studied and the cause of
errors can be ascertained and re-
paired.
Motion which is many. many times
too fast for the eye to visualize, and
which appears like a blur when we
look at 1t. can be dissected into all
forms OF movement by the use of the
oscilloscope and made easily observa-
BILE.
The scientific lamp is based on
queer phenomena For example, you,
perchance, have noticed that when
you looked from the car window of
a speeding railroad train at another
train running as rapidly as that on
which you were riding the second
train appeared to be standing still.
The lamp is adjusted SO that Il
will fash at intervals az minute as
one one-millionth Of second Each
time that the lamp flashes X shows
the position Of the moving part at
one particular place in It's rapidly re-
volving course. The flashes Of the
lamp are SO timed that they occur
each time the moving part under ex-
animation makes its one-hundredth
revolution. Each successive Hash of
the lamp thus shows the moving part.

Bright chintzes are hung at the

T was during the world war II

r T was during the world war that
the enormous influx of war
workers coming to Washington
Il presented a serious problem not
only to the newcomers but to the
residents of the city. Hundreds OF
young women from every state in
the union journeyed to the National
Capital to aid In the great work Of
running a government whose added
burdens in the stress of the times
called for many hands.
The situation from being strained
became desperate as these nieces of
Uncle Sam continued to pour into
the already overcrowded city. Board
ing houses, rooming houses. cafes
and eating places of all descriptions
sprang up almost over night, and
still the demands were unanswered.
The hue and cry rang loudly, What
are we going to TO with the war
worker?' And fror the workers
themselves a little louder, What are
you going to do with US? Where are
you going to lodge US and how feed
us? And how can we meet the rising
prices demanded and live within our
earning capacity" It was then that
Uncle Sam came to their rescue and
took up their cause.
1t was through the recommendation
Of the National Council Of Defense
that the plans for these hotels were
fostered and finally grew into life.
The hotels were not finished when the
armistice was signed, but as 1t grew
apparent that there was a great de-
he In aP 10 q
they afforded the buildings were
completed, equipped and opened
and the proof OF their great need
was shown in the fact that they were
Immediately Allied to the limit OF
their capacity. From cramped quar-
ters in boarding houses. family ho-
tells and private families-where in
many cases the profiteer had put a
severe strain on their purses-the
girls fiocked to this refuge, where
they were sure OF value received for
the amount expended.
'.No Mans Land" as the hotels have
come to be known by unofficial Wash
ington, Is divided into two groups
the one near the Capitol known as
the Capitol group, and that located
opposite the union station as the
plaza group.
The facilities for the comfort and
convenience Of the guests strike one
as remarkable, especially from an
economic viewpoint. Each group con-
ststs OF twelve dormitories, an ad-
ministraton building and recreation
hall, two dining rooms and kitchens,
an infirmary, powerhouse. a iaun-
cry. refrigerator plant and a store
house.

TIME problems and secrets of
Il high-speed machinery that
previously were unsolvable,

of modern mechanics were concerned.
have latterly been rendered as easy
TO study as the printed page. through
the perfection of curious lamp
which has been tested out thoroughly
at the bureau Of standards in wash
ington.
The mythical wishing lamp OF Alad-
Gin and the miracle lantern of Dioge-
nes which he used in hunting for an
honest man have to give ground in
the hall Of fame before the new sci
eutific illuminator, a product of many
years of intensive research. an ap-
paratus which now ranks as the most
efficient detective of the mechanical
world.
Heretofore. technicians and experts
have been obliged to speculate con-
cerning what went on in certain high
speed machines when they were in
full motion. When they got out of
kilter or would not run. all the sci
entists could do was to tinker along
until. hit-or-miss style, they hap
pened to stumble onto what the mat
ter was. There were no scientific ap-
pliances available which would per-
nit them to study the movements Of
rapidly revolving parts. come of
which operated at extraordinary
speeds. t'...
Now matters are quite different. for
Uncle Sans men have under pains
taking scientific scrutiny a novel
lamp which reveals these secrets.
You can adjust the lamp SO that 1t
will make a needle. valve or piston
that is travelling at speed of 5000
to 10000 revolutions a minute look
as though II were standing still or
merely working at a snail's pace.
Briefly, the novel scientific lantern
permits the mechanic or investigator
to study speeding parts as they oper-
ate so that he can detect any or all
their ailments and subsequently rem
edy any such difficulties. The light
will even make the moving piece Of
machinery seem to be running in the
opposite direction from that which it
really is following. This ability to
create a topsy-turvy mechanical mo-
tion in many respects is as impor-
Iant to industry as the discovery Of
steam power or the perfection of
modern radio.
Uncle Sam has been so enthusiastic
over the new lamp, which is known
technically as the oscilloscope, that
he has purchased number OF the

Sunday, The luxury Of not having
to get up.
Turning her face from the window,
Helen snuggled deeper into the pill
low.
But on this coveted, extra Sunday
morning hour. she found herself per-
versely wakeful.
"What time is it?" Warren stirred
and yawned.
"Dear. it's Sunday. We don't have
to get up yet"
Pull down that shade! Right in
my eyes"
Drawing down the darkening shade,
Helen cuddled back into bed.
The clock licked off the precious
moments, but still she could not sleep.
Perhaps she had too much cover. Ii
had grown warmer in the night. Sit
ting up, she flung back the pink silk
comforter.
Again settling down, tense with q
disquieting consciousness of rare mo-
ments wasted. the more determinedly
she sought sleep, the more wakeful
she grew.
The lowered shade was now flap
ping against the open window. Mus
she get up again to fix it? Or was il
sonly a momentary breeze?
Elk that COMPOUNDED shade,
growled Warren.
Up again, she vainly tried to anchor
the shade so it would not rattle. Fin
