OF Amsterdam asked himself and part

The puzzling thing to scientists
about the stretching Of rubber band
Is how it can stretch so much, even
Il times its original length, without
breaking. when the molecules Of which
it is made must be so widely sep
arated. Doctor Katz used the X-ray
spectograph, an apparatus by which
Il is possible to take photographs
which reveal the actual arrangement

WHY RUBBER STRETCHES

Ordinarily the X-ray spectograph
only works with substances that are

not crystalline, but amorphous. How
ever, Doctor Katz tried it and has
found that when the rubber is
stretched the photograph shows that it
behaves just as If it were crystalline,

when collapsed. So far he has been
unable to explain why this should
occur.

Franks of Clipping Spook
Continue for Years in
Mountain Home.

Winchester, Va.-Off railroads, bus
lines and main highways in Jefferson
county, w. Va, lies a charming little
village of about 300 inhabitants This
town has three names, Smithfeld,
Middleway and elliptic last and best
known being derived from the fa-
nous manifestations of the Clipping
Spook.
Anyone in Middleway. young or
old, Catholic or Protestant, can tell
the story of the Wizard Clip. And
when the tale has been related the
narrator will shake her head and say
I'm telling you just as it was told
me by my grandfather. / cannot ex-
plain it." The story is recorded in
history.
In 1870 came Adam Livingston from
Pennsylvania and settled on 20 acres
of land in Middleway. He and his
wife dwelt there in peace four years.
And then one evening there came
stranger to the door begging hospi-
tally.
The wayfarer, it transpired, was
seriously i'll and Catholic Living
ston was a Protestant and had
prejudice against Catholics. So when
the sick man begged that a priest be
sent for before he died this request
was resolutely denied the stranger.
There's no priest in this neck of
the woods" answered Livingston,
land if there were he'd not darken my
doors I"
Imploring, weeping, protesting, the
traveller died without confession.
Trouble Begins.
No sooner had the stranger drawn
his last breath than trouble began.
Mysterious presences were felt haunt
ing the rooms of the lonely log house,
mournful murmurings penetrated the
silence.
One by the name of Jacob Fonter
was called in to keep vigil When
entering the room of death, the candle
he carried suddenly was extinguished.
Others were Lit but none would burn.
Horses were heard tramping around
and around the house.
After the burial of the stranger on
the farm, Livingston's dishes tumbled
from their shelves and were broken.
His furniture was moved by unseen
hands. Goals leaped from the fire out
into the room Money walked away
One adversely followed another
The barn burned to the ground. The
tails were cut off his animals. The
heads were severed from the bodies
of his hens
Next was heard the uncanny grind
of unseen shears in action clipping,
clipping. An invisible presence passed
through the house, the yard, the barn,
on the destructive mission. No one
was perceptibIe to the senses. But
the family wash was clipped from the
line. Clothing bedding was found in
ribbons. Boots, linens, harness all
bore the mystic incision of the cres-

u. S. Lays in Conservation
The United States is far behind
most nations Of the world in the mat
ter of soil conservation. In some
parts of the world large areas of land
have been destroyed by erosion, not
ably in Asia Minor and China. But
the undestroyed parts of these old
countries have generally profited by
the terrible examples of the devasted
regions.
In this new country Of ours, says
Mr.. Bennett, we already have some
good sized monuments in the shape Of
land devastation; but we are not
profiting very much from such ex-
amples. Land wastage by erosion is
proceeding as rapidly as it ever did
with the exception of a few sections
where farmers, county agents, bank
ers and others have undertaken the
job of fighting the impoverishing
process. =
In the the southeastern part of thu
United States, chiefly in the old cot.
ton belt where farming methods havi
generally been pointed to by profes
sors Of agriculture as examples o.
things not to do on a farm, is fOunC
the only part of the nation wher,
a widespread practice of soil con
servation by terracing slOping land
is in use. Hillside terraces beyont
this belt are conspicuously absent
says Mr.. Bennett. There is immedi
ate need also for fundamental sol
data relating to erosion; demonstra
tions far and wide of the effective
ness of properly built terraces; an
need for much national educatio
about this menacing agency of Ian
devastation.
