TO MY GARDEN
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

The time I spend on you each Spring
Could well be used in other ways;
1 find my style of gardening
Is not the kind that pays.
1 rise before the birds awake
And labor on till breakfast call;
Again at five my tools l take
And dig till shadows fall.
1 spake a quarter-section patch
And sow with care a million seeds;
1 pray that every one will hatch
Then let you go to weeds!

PRECIOUS BABY
BY o. LAWRENCE HAWTHORNE

Laughing eyes that look into
The secret chamber of my heart.
Lips as sweet and tender as a rose,
Cunning little hands that seem
To draw the wells of care apart
And all the happiness of love dis
close.
Dimpled cheeks that beg a kiss,
And chubby feet with dimples too,
Dainty bundle of delight and cheer
Precious one, I don't see where
God finds a darling babe like you,
But oh. how glad I am He sent you

GIANT MICROSCOPE
PRESENTED T0U.S.
Worlds Greatest instrument
Magnifies Objects Twelve
Million Times.
RY John GUNTHER.

By Cable 10 The star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, October 29.-The world 8
greatest microscope. capable of adj
justments to O. millionth part Of an
inch and able to magnify an object
100000 times, will be shipped to
the Rockefeller Institute in New
York next week as a gift of British
science to American science.
It is the ultra-microscope. invented
by J. E. Barnard, which photographed
the f1lter-passing organism said to be
the cause of cancer and which made
possible the amazing discoveries
made by DIR. w. f. Gye In cancer
research last year.
The power of this microscope, as
well as the infinite complexity OF
It's structure. is almost beyond be-
lief. It represents the life work OF
Mr.. Barnard, a strange figure In
British science. who formely was
hat manufacturer dabbling in optics
as hobby.
Improvement on Original.
The instrument being sent to
America for a nominal fee through
Mr.. Barnard's generosity is the only
ton and, in fact, is a distinct i'm
provement in many respects on the
frst model-the model which made
possible DIR. eyes epoch making
work.
Mr.. Barnard took the correspond
ent through the remote laboratory at
Mill Hill, Mlddlesex, where he and
DIR. Gve now are working together
on final experiments under the
patronage Of the Royal British Medi-
cal Council, and exhibited the great
instrument, which stood on black
table in n black painted room.
BY q simple turn Of a thumbacre a,
the microscope utilizes ultra-vfo'et
rays, directs them on a quartz 81 de
and photographs objects on the slide
with inconceivable precision.
AS 1t stands now the instrument
''takes pictures" of objects far beyond
the power Of any other microscope
even to see--in a word. objects one
quarter .millionth of an inch in
diameter. With the new improve
nents on which Mr.. Barnard Is work
ing, he hopes eventually to photo
graph objects as small as one-three-
hundred-thousandths of an inch.

possible by Mr.. Barnard's 8 harnessing of
the ultra violet rays.
'It is the final optical instrument in
the world" said the inventor, patting
it lovingly, with justif1able pride. He
is eager to send it to American and use
himself his older model, in ORDER to
give American bacteriologists the
chance they are avidly awaiting to
operate with the new machine.
Barnard is waiting a few weeks be-
fore shipping the machine in hope a
few final adjustments may make it
absolutely foolproof--of such perfect
simplicity that the operation Of not
more than one turn knob will be suf-
fcient 10 focus 1t.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken in construction Of the instru
ment to eliminate the possible infiltra.
tion Of even one mote of dust.

MELBOURNE, Australia. October
2s.-The British Imperial Oil Co. yes
terday issued statement taking
issue with a speech made by DIR. T..
G. Page. treasurer Of the Common
wealth OF Australia, at Sydney, in
which the latter severely criticized
foreign oil companies.
The statement declared that the DIFF
ference Of 8 pence d gallon in the
price of gasoline charged by foreign
importers compared with common
wealth oil refineries represented the
duty charged foreign firms. Common
wealth refineries do not have to pay
his.
Characteridng DIR. Pages remark
hat foreigners were bleeding the

peace as inaccurate and silly, the
statement says that during the war a

Avoid Fractions
Of Cent in Paying
Clerks Annuities

In order to avoid fractions of a

tirement law, the monthly portions
of annuities are being fixed at the
nearest multiple Of IL.
In a pamphlet he has just pre-
pared to explain the new law to
Government clerks. Robert H. AL
corn, chairman of the joint con.
ference on retirement of civil serv-
ice employees, gave the following IL
lustration of how the monthly pay
ments are arrived at:
For example, If an annuitant Is
entitled to"$S00. the annuity will be
fixed at $SO0.04. which is divisible
by IL. In the case Of an annuitant
entitled to $1,000, the annuity will
be fixed at $999.96."
