MIR. and Mrs. Hugo Conner of
4V1 Brooklyn, found a baby girl
on a doorstep. They wanted to
adopt the child. The city well
fare department refused because
the Connors are Jewish and the
baby, although only 2 weeks old,
is an ardent Catholic.
And how did the child come
by her religious convictions? The
faith of foundlings in New York
is determined by wheel of
chance. Unless there is evidence
as to the religious Affiliations of
the parents, waits are rotated be-
tween Catholicism and Protestant
ism. And, Of course, there seldom
is any hint as to the background
of children left on doorsteps.
The Jewish community is not
a party to the lottery, because
it holds that it does not care to
have children brought up accord
ing to its tenets unless there is
good reason to believe that they
we're of Jewish origin.
The present system has pre-
vailed for years. I don't know
just when it was founded or by
what device the original first
choice was set. And that, Of
course, was important, since it
has served to determine the re-
ligion Of thousands ever since.

Diet Modified by Civilization

DERHAPS most remarkable of
l. all the changes brought about
by civilization is the change in
cereal foods. Before 1870, cereals
were pounded by hand or coarse
ly ground between stones for the
removal Of the bran.
Gradually, modern machine
milling enabled the removal of all
the bran and germ from grains,
so that those who want to eat
whole grain in these modern
times will find it packaged sep
arately and, in most instances,
sold as a sort of health food.
rather than as a part Of the cur
rent diet of man.
Development OF modern systems
of transportation also is partly
responsible for changes in the ma
ture Of foodstuffs. White cereals
and sugar can be transported long
distances without deterioration,
as can also fruits that are bottled,
canned or dried.
On the other hand. it is exceed
ingly difficult to transport whole
grain or fruits or meats without
preServatives.

Official Gambling

CATHOLIC, Protestant, Cath
" olic, Protestant-so it has
gone on. What could be fairer?
After all, it is an even money bet.
And yet it seems strange that a
game for such high stakes should
not only be sanctioned, but Off
cially conducted, by city which
frowns on all forms of public
gambling.
A waif found early of a Thurs
day morning would be a Catholic
if it so happened thai a little
Protestant had been picked up
late Wednesday night. And on
any day teeming with assertions it
might well be that inclusion in
one faith or the other merely was
by the margin of minutes.
A nurse at Bellevue who de-
scribed the workings of the pro-
cess to me admitted that there
was the possibility of error. "Of
course, you could make a pretty
good guess" she said of one of
last weeks foundhngs, that he
was Jewish, but it was the turn
for a Protestant, and SO that's
what he is and will be from now
on"

The FIipping of q Coin

TNEN or twelve years ago I wrote

vailed then. AS a result, the
system still prevails. I remem-
Der that 1 received quite a few
angry letters in which I was &C
cused Of testing about sacred things.
But I am not testing.
And if the issue of irreverence
enters in, I think it lies against
those Christian denominations
which are willing to enter into an
allotment of faith by method
which is little better than the
Tipping of a coin.
AS a matter of fact, it may be
that the stakes are not as high
as they seem. When the found
lings come home at last, SEEM
ingly huge winners because chance
has made them Protestants, or
the other way around (you see, 1,

may turn out that somebody will

These chips Of dogma, demon

nothing to settle. 1t was just

St0ry of Ne1U AUOy

dykes tells how the new alloy
~ was developed during the
course of experiments at the
Cleveland wire works of the G.
E. Company.
I'VE first came upon the I'M
usual hardening characteristics of
these alloys while investigating
the effect produced by substitute
ing cobalt for some Of the iron
in the carbon-free alloys Of iron
and tungsten with which we were
more familiar" he says.
The alloy of the three metals
combines some Of the hardening
properties of both the iron-tung-
stem and the iron-cobalt systems,
he says.
I'm other words" he continues,
eve may trace the inherited char
acteristics back to the parents. In
fact, one of the most vital fac
tors in the hardening powers Of
the new alloy is derived from the
transformation in iron itself, so
that we might say that this
characteristic was contributed by
grandparents
Pure iron can be hardened to
certain extent by heating it to a
temperature above 1850 degrees,
Fahrenheit, and then "quenching'
it or cooling it very quickly.
The temperature Of l $50 degrees
is a critical temperature, and as
the iron passes it, a rearrange-
ment of the crystal structure Of
the iron takes place, the crystals
changing from those known as
gamma iron to those known as
alpha iron.
If the queching is done. very
rapidly, as for example in cold
mercury, the crystals Of alpha
iron have no time to grow to
large size.
The result is an iron Of small
grain and consequently greater
hardness than the ordinary large
grained iron.

DRIMITIVE man lived, like the

THREE metals, iron, tungsten,
L and cobalt, are combined to
make ALLOY 548.' hailed by Metal
Progress. journal Of the American
Society for Steel Treating, as the
outstanding development in metal
cutting tools since discovery OF
tungsten carbide in 1923.
The new alloy, developed by w.
P. Sykes at the Cleveland wire
works of the General Electric
Company, can be made with vary
ing composition and treatment. so
that in reality Alloy SAB is whole
family of substances.
1t functions best as a carbon
free alloy, according to DR.. Fay
JefTries, consulting metallurgist Of
the General Electric Company. It's
hardness is not inherent as cast,
but is developed by heat treat
ment.
DR.. Jeffries says that it can be
melted, cast, forged or rolled, then
machined and heat treated for
use. It's traverse strength is con-
siderably higher than cemented
tungsten carbide.
The material has qualities mid
way between high speed steel and
cemented tungsten carbide. DR..
Jeffries believes that intelligent
tests and trials will develop
wide field Of usefulness for the
material.
He says that it will find its own
place in the metal-cutting field
and not displace the other ma
terials now in use.
The alloy is one part cheap and
two parts expensive. The iron is
cheap. Tungsten and cobalt are .
expensive. In each case, it will be
necessary to find the particular
combination which will be most
economical for the desired per-
Torrance.

Tor Capitol City fans at the Bismarck
baseball park Tuesday evening.
The Capitol City nine will clash
with the nifty Jamestown club in
twilight game beginning at $50
o'clock.
This attraction-which brings to-
gether two of the strongest teams in
North Dakota-is expected to pack
them through the turnstiles at a rapid
clip.
Additional color is added to the con-
test in that each team will present
colored battery. For Bismarck, Roose-
welt Davis will pitch and Quincy
Troupe will catch. For Jamestown, B.
Brown will hurl and Charlie Hancock
will be the backstop.
Davis and Brown are rated as
among the best four Negro pitchers
in baseball today.
Jims Have Fine Record
JameStOWn's fast club was organic
ed early in the year, while Bismarck
has added most of its strength in the
last few weeks. The visiting club
boasts great record this season, hav-
ing won a score of games while los
ing only eight against the highest
class of competition. Northern League
teams have fallen victim to the great
jamestown club. Superior, Wis, was
the last Northern League team to feel
Jamestown's sting. With Brown on
the mound, Jamestown last week
crushed Superior IL to /.
Another new performer will be In
the Bismarck lineup Tuesday evening.
He is Les Moore. who will replace
Mike Goetz at third base. Moore,
acquired from the Moorhead-Fargo
team of the Northern League, has
been batting at a .342 clip, according
to Manager Neil o. Churchill of the
Capital City nine. At Winnipeg last
Sunday Moore clouted out two home
runs.
Churchill said he understands that
jamestown also has recruited two new
infielders for the game.
Lists Batting Order
Bismarck's starting lineup, in the
order they will bat, will be as follows:
Sebastian Goetz, center field; Bill
Morlan, left field; Les Moore, third
base; Paul Shaefer, right field;
Quincy Troupe. catcher; Roosevelt
Davis, pitcher: Bob Mccartney, second
base; Ralph Sears, shortstop; and
Sam Hyland, first base.
Several of the Jamestown players
are familiar to Bismarck fans, though
this will be Jamestown's first appear
ance here this season. Among James
town stars of this year who have play
ed here before are Deeds and A
Schauer, outfielders; Ruud first
base: and F. Schauer, third base.
Catcher Charlie Hancock and
Shortstop Art Hancock have played
here before both with Jamestown and
with travelling colored teams. A fourth
Negro in the jamestown lineup will
be Allen, pitcher and outfielder.
Harold Westby, football and bas-
ketbau star of Jamestown high school
will play second base for the visitors.
