Experiments ShoID the
Value Of Light Baths

BY taking a holiday iii Switzerland
and sitting in the sun, five pit boys
from the mines In Mansfield, England,
have demonstrated the value of light
baths for men and boys who work I'M
foreground. report Of the commit
tee which has been testing the useful
ness of light in industrial hygiene has
just been published Following the
Swiss experiment with sunlight baths,
a clinic was opened and so volunteers
from the mines, fourteen to seventeen
years old, have had ultra-viOlet light
baths several times week for three
months. AT the end of the time, the
boys had gained in weight an aver
age of more than four pounds. Boys
of the same ages who did not get the
light baths gained q little more than
two and a half pounds during the
same three months. The boys who
had the light baths gained in height
more than the boys who did not. The
clinic will be continued, and the COM
mittee report recommends that wher-
ever pithead baths are provided, light
baths should be established with them.
The report warns, however, that arti-
fetal light baths should be given only
under medical supervision.

ner than Dilworth's speller, the work
of an Englishman previously used. and
instead of dry passages from the
Scriptures, he used interesting, if
homely, anecdotes which appealed I'M
mediately to the children who for the
next hundred years were to be i'm
pressed by the moral of these stories.
BY 1916 the sales of the speller were
averaging $4,000 copies year. BY
1928 they had risen to $4,000 copies
annually, and by lS4S they were up
Ito 100000 year. AS late as 1880
it was still going strong, and it has
been estimated that more than 1907
100000 copies have been sold since
1888. Webster's fame may rest mainly
upon his dictionary, but in sense
the dictionary owes its existence TO
the speller, for during the remainder
of Webster's life. and especially the
twenty years he Spent in compiling,
the dictionary, most of the support of
his family came from the profits of
this little blue-backed 15-penny book.
In 1900 he gave up all his other work
to devote himself to his dictionary.
His original plan was to correct the
errors and supply the omissions in old
er dictionaries, especially Johnson's.
So he spent a number of years col
lecting words. Then realizing his own
lack of knowledge as to the origin of
words he changed his plan. For the
next ten years he devoted himself to a
comparative study of words. and when
he was sixty-six years old, having ex-
hausted all the resources of libraries
|. in this country, he went to France
and England to complete his work.
Finally his great task was done, and
in the autumn of 1928. it came from
the press. Not content to rest after
a quarter-century Of incessant labor
on one exacting task, the sturdy old
Yankee set about revising some of his
earlier works. In 1910 he published a
revised edition of his dictionary and
he was in the midst of a second re-
vision in 1S43 when death came 10

So the next time you come across
word whose meaning you do not UNI
derstand. before you ask somebodS
what it means, think of the admoni-
tion of one chronicler of Webster's
career-'If there is one too lazy to

ing twenty-five years pacing about be-
fore his huge semicircular table, laden
with dictionaries of all languages from
Arabic to Icelandic, SO that he might

From that little edition of $500
copies issued in 1928 have grown the
millions of dictionaries which are to
be found in the homes, schools and
Offices of the English-speaking world
of today, and every one of these die
tionaries whether it bears his name
on its cover or not is monument to
Noah Webster, the Yankee school
teacher and lawyer, who devoted for
ty-eight years of his life to task
which has enriched our language i'm
measurably. Although the words
webster" and dictionary" are syn
onymous in the minds of most of us,
but few of us know-much about the
man, Noah Webster Nine out of ten
perhaps would confuse him with his
distant relative, Daniel Webster, the
orator and statesman. Yet it is not
too much to say perhaps, that the con-
tribution of Noah Webster to Ameri-
can life will be an important one long
after that of Daniel Webster will have
been forgotten entirely.
Noah Webster was the son of poor
New England farmer of West Hart
ford. Conn.,, who in 1774, when Noah,
Jr., was sixteen years old, mortgaged
his farm to pay his sons expenses in
Yale college from which the boy was
graduated four years later. Upon the
day of his graduation his father gave
him an eight-dollar Continental bill
worth about four dollars at the time)
and told him that he could do no more
for him. Although young Webster had
intended to become lawyer, he had
no means to continue his studies into
that field, so he had to resort to teach
ing to make a living while he studied
law by himself-so successfully, it
proved, that he was admitted to the
bar in Hartford in 1881. He was un.
able to wait for practice, however,
so he again engaged in school teach
ing, this time at Goshen, N. Y, where
he established a classical school.
There In 1882, foreseeing that Amer
lea, after separation from the mother
country would need to have its own
school texts, he planned "Grammat-
ical institute" to include speller, a
reader and grammar The speller
was issued first, in 1888, followed in
1884 BY the grammar. and in 1855 by
the reader. The success of the now
famous "bIue-back speller.' still IA
miliar to the older generation of
Americans Of today. was instantane-
Gus and must have been amazing to
the young schoolmaster. In prepar-
ing 1t, he had shown the same skill
and sound sense which characterized
his dictionary later. 1t was arranged

For that is what Americans have been
doing now for exactly hundred years
s'looking it up in the big book" or
consulting Mr.. Webster For it was
just one hundred years ago this sum-
mer that a scene Of unusual activity
was taking place in the print shop of
Hezekiah Howe in New Haven, Conn.,,

autumn there came forth the first
edition OF Noah Webster's American
Dictionary of the English Language"
Now, the issuing Of dictionary is
not in itself unique event, but the
issuing of Noah Webster's dictionary
away back there in 1928 was a note
worthy event, and in some respects
the book itself was unique. Hereto
fore the English-speaking world had
depended upon DR.. Samuel Johnson's
for authoritative spelling and def

somewhere between 10000 and $4,000

nearly 10000 definitions which had
never before appeared in any diction-
airy of the English tongue. Most of
khe definitions Webster had coined
new, doing virtually all Of both the
mental and manual labor involved un-
Insisted. He also did some revising
and simplifying, ana it is to him that
we owe the fact that we write 1t

than that, his dictionary was almost
an encyclopedia In which he set a

fact. nearly all of the later diction-
aries have been based upon Webster's
work and have preserved his identical
words in a large number Of their def

Mass Color;ng Ne.O
Object of Builders

American commercial and domestic
life is writing its history in buildings
with it's own individuality. says Har-
yey Wiley Corbett. nationally known
architect and authority on construc-
ton.
Every form of architecture the
world ha known. Mr.. COrbett points
out, has resulted from two factors:
The needs of the people. and the ma
terials available, But 1t was the skill
with which materials were used to
meet the needs. which reflected the
art and the ingenuity of the period.
With the development of this new
type. Mr.. Corbett says. the trend will
be more and more away from petty
decorative details. and toward the
skillful distribution of masses. and the
use of color. Instead of minute and
purposeess Ornamentation, obviously
superimposed upon building. color
will be applied logically, over large
spaces, as an integral feature of the
terra Gotta. or other facing materials.
The distribution of masses. Mr.. Cor
bett declares. will meet the needs of
the buildings occupants, with as much
beauty as is possible.
