Washington, Aug. 9.-One Of the
most interesting things in Washing
ton is the bureau of standards. You
can take one look at congress or at
the president and you've seen every
thing. But YOU can snoop around out
at the bureau of standards for Il week
and be surprised several times a day.
The bureau has Is buildings and AZ
acres Of land way cut on Connecticut
avenue, where a large staff of scien-
lists is charged with the job of de-
reloping, constructing and working
standards used in science, engineer
ing, industry and commerce.
The fathers gave congress the right
to "fix the standard of weights and
measures" and today these scientists
are measuring a one-mlllionth Of an
inch and determining how much a
five-inch steel bar bends when you
press your fingers against the ends.
What 1t Has Done
The bureau of standards. among
other important things. has developed
. new currency paper for the govern
ment with so per cent longer life. pro-
duced the first practicable model of
the earth inductor compass now used
in long distance flights, developed the
radiobeacon which gives an airplanc
pilot a visual indication whether he is
following the correct course. built
the first latitude laboratory for
measuring airplanc engine perform
ance under flight conditions. worked
out processes for coating steel and
other metals with chromium-thc
hardest known metal, doubled the life
of printing plates used BY the govern
ment, discovered a satisfactory lcath-
er tanning materia! in waste paper
from paper mills, developed n treat
ment which made good rubber out of
cheap rubber, established the corn
sugar industry, made three standards
of planeness thick to within n five
millionth of an inch, cast the largest

The faithful followers know this

Denounce Police.
The irksone behavior of the
unionists included the posting of
placards in the union office win
dows, denouncing the high-handed
behavior of the police and branding
them as tools of the mill barons.
Disdaining to use a white flag, a
courageous sergeant marched into
the strike hail and ordered the signs
taken out of the window.
Determined to make use of their
legal right to picket, the strikers
left strike headquarters at noon and
picketed the struck mill for abou.
two hours before the police again
interfered. The entire force Of the
Shahnazarian Mill, and few strike
sympathizers, were picketing the
plant when the police charged the
line in an effort to break it Up.
First the attempt to break the
line was made by arresting a strike
sympathizer, Jack Glass, who is a
member of the Young Workers
League. When this failed they set
about dispensing the so or more
pickets that marched before the
plant. This failed, too, hnd the
picketing went on for more than an
hour after the arrest. Glass is still
in the Jail. Another member of the
Young Workers League, Lottie Blu
menthal, and a striker, George Ham
way, are now serving 80 days for
saying "scab." Glass may meet
with sentence just as vicious.
