STANDARDS BUREAU
 INTERESTING SPOT
Something New and Fascinating
 May Be Seen Every Hour

Washington, Aug. 15.-One of the most interesting things in Washing" ton is the bureauof 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 a week and be surprised several times day.
 The bureau has IS buildings and 43 acres of land way out on Con- necticut avenue, where large staff of scientists is charged with the job of developing, constructing and main taining reference and working stan- dards used in science, engineering, industry and commerce.
 The Fathers gave congress the right to fix the standard of weights and measures" and today these scientists are measuring one millionth of an inch and determin- ing how much a five-inch steel bar bends when you press your fingers against the ends.
 What It Has Done
 The bureau of standards, among other important things, has devel- oped a new currency paper for the government with 50 per cent longer life, produced the first practicable model of the earth inductor com- pass now used in long distance flights, developed the radiobeacon which gives an airplane pilot vis- ual indication whether he is follow ing the correct course, built the first latitude laboratory for measuring airplane engine performance under flight conditions. worked out pro- cesses of coating steel and other metals with cromium-the hardest known metal, doubled the life of printing plates used by the govern ment, discovered a satisfactory leather tanning material in waste paper from paper mills, developed 8 treatment which made good rubber out of cheap rubber, established the | M standards of planeness thick. rc within one five -milllionth of ar inch, cast the largest disk of optica glass ever made in this country-fol a telescope-after immensely i'm proving the proces of making optl cal glass, ruled several steel scale! directly from light waves and dis covered a coating to greatly reduce the atmospheric corrosion of dur aluminium, the airplane metal.
 In a single year. according to bu reau statistics, it tested approxi mately 2200 electrical measuring instruments, 2600 electric batteries 3600 electric lamps-representint purchases of 1,300,0o0 lamps by tht government-2500 gauges and sam pies of gauge steel, $500 weight: and balances, $50 scales, 300 time pieces, 13,000 pieces of glass volu metric apparatus, 570 hydrometers 4,000 laboratory thermometers, 2,00' samples of engine fuels and lubrl cants, 1,7000 samples of sugar, 67' samples of radium and radioactiv materials, 1,200 engineering instru ments, 700 aeronautic instruments 5000 specimens of engineering ma terials, 1000 samples of metals ant alloys, 150 pieces of china and pot tery, 12,O0o samples of cement ant concrete, 1,500 miscellaneous sam ples of ceramic materials, 1,700 sam

ples of rubber, 7,300 samples of tex tile materials, 1000 samples or paper, 300 samples of leather and 1,500 samples of paint and varnish, along with 1.200 miscellaneous chemical tests.
 The physical layout of the bu- reau is so large that it cannot be described herewith, but in addition to various rooms for tests of weight measurements, density, time, pres sure and what not, there are varl- ous buildings of special construc- ton. There's low-temperature building with plants for producing liquid air and hydrogen. Here hy- drogen has been frozen and the characteristics of ordinary sub stances so changed that soft rub Der becomes as brittle as glass and mercury is frozen and used to drive nails.
 There are three wind tunnels, where scientists study the behavior of planes, dirigibles, bombs, build ings and chimneys ill an air stream. In the dynamome building air plane engines are tested before De- ing licensed by the department of commerce and there are automo- tive power plants, where automobile parts are also tested. The basement of one building has an experimental foundry and a small-sized paper mill is found in another.
 Make Their Own Weather
 In one room artificial rainstorms and sunlight are produced. A large testing machine in the industrial building has compression capacity of 10,oo0,00O pounds. The kiln house makes optical glass for the navy's binoculars, sun sights and periscopes, as we'll as cement and ceramic materials. There's com plete cotton mill and an expert mental sugar plant. And that doesn't t.begin to tell half of it.
 The government often asks the bureau for the seemingly impossi, ble-for an instrument to measurs ship shore distance when the shiI can't be seen, for a photographic plate which will take pictures through fog, for a method of de ciphering burnt documents, and SC

 Anyone would think that girl who could write plays, could write a letter easily enough. But it was dawn before Molly went to bed Reds letter she put in big stamped envelope There were eight sheets of yellow copy paper, hur- riedly typed. Jacks letter was hand written on her best stationery. There was a single sheet. and the writing did not quite fill it. Reds letter had taken 30 minutes to type. And Jacks three hours to compose.
 When she had finished she was physically exhausted. Her head ached, and her throat. And there were pains in the backs of her knees She was cold, too, although the night was warm.
 When she was ready for bed, she slipped a dressing gown over her night dress, and tip-toed in the nursery Rita lay on her back with her cheek turned against the pillow. and both her little hands thrown up over her head. It must have been because Moll, was tired, and she buried her head in the blankets, and began to cry She felt very sad. remembering that Ruth and Rita had died, and Jack had taken a dreadful fat woman te the theater.
