But. even as Barnabas advanced

figure stood framed in the open

Barnabas turned, and lowering
the cane. stood looking curiously at
the speaker. A tall. slender man he
was, with a face that might have
been any age-a mask-like face,
smooth and long, and devoid Of hair

face, with its curving nostrils, thin
Tipped, close-shut mouth: high,

said Barnabas at last.

So they stood, fronting each other,

therefore indomitable. and the Man,
with glittering eyes old in their ex-

"Seventy-eight pounds, sir! She

purse.
'Ah, indeed, I see! I see!" nodded
Jasper Gaupt.
Take the money, Quigly. I will
make out the receipt If you desire,
you shall see me sign it, Mr.. Bev-

desk, wrote the document, and
handed it to Barnabas. with a bow
that was almost ironical.
Then Barnabas gave the precious
paper into the womans eager fin

woman's shining eyes.

lips. 4 can not thank you'll can

ENGINEERING UNIT
EXTENSION LIKELY
Park Service May Get Air.
Conditioning and Fire.
Prevention Experts.

Extension of the engineering divi-
sion within the National Park Serv-
ice to include in its membership a
group of highly skilled engineers, ia
miliar with operation and maintenance
of modern r-conditioning and fire.
prevention apparatus, as installed in
new Government buildings, probably
will take place soon, it was learned
TO-DAY.
With much of this costly apparatus
being installed under direction of the
Procurement Division of the Treasury
Department, it was learned that this
division has recommended to the Ma
tional Park Service an addition to
the technical personnel designated to
supervise operation and maintenance
of the apparatus. Since this ma
chinery represents investments of mil
lions of dollars and is of a highly
specialized nature the Procurement
Division contends that it should be in
trusted only to an engineering staff
familiar with its maintenance.
Park Service Favors Idea.
Responsibility for operation and
maintenance of Government-oWn
buildings is now vested in the National
Park Service, the Treasury Depart
ment relinquishing control as soon as
construction is completed.
Further inquiry today revealed that
the Park Service not only looks with
favor upon the idea of an amplified
engineering section, but that it has
some tentative plans for utilization
of the section. For instance. it would
depend upon such a division not only
for the operation and maintenance of
fire prevention and detection appa-
ratus, but also for recommendations
as to installation of new systems.
In this connection, a survey of all
e-protection equipment in Govern
ment owned or rented buildings prob
ably would be ordered. In many OF
the older Government owned build
ings. it is conceded the systems are
obsolete and inadequate. although all
Gre believed to meet minimum require
snentS OF the District fire laws.
Department Passes on Plans.
Under the present policy, the Pro-
curement Division makes provision in
new buildings for what it considers
adequate fire equipment. Although
all plans for department buildings are
submitted for approval of the depart
ment which will use the structures
later changes in allotment of space
within the buildings often necessitate
changes in fire equipment.
Establishment of a technical staff
qualified to Judge protection needs
would serve to eliminate such differ
ences of opinion. Park Service officials
hope, and perhaps save Government
expenditures forced by alterations in
original plans.
Such a staff, it was learned, prob
ably would include electrical. me-
chanical, air-cooling and structural
engineers of wide experience and
training, all working under one chief
engineer. Principal obstacle in the
way of such a development is that of
the Park Service budgetary allowance
which would have to be increased to
care for extra salaries.

To FIGHT
INFANT DEATHS

In a letter addressed to all
county health officers Of Mary
land, DR.. ]. H. M. Knox, chief Of
the bureau of child hygiene of
the Maryland Department Of
Health, has called their attention
to the increase in infant NOR.
tality in the counties of Mary.
land.
DR.. Knox points out that the
rate for the first four months of
1884 was 75.7 for all counties, as
compared with 68.3 for the same
period last year, and expressed
the opinion that it was due in
part to the severe measles cpl
demic which swept the State dur
ing the winter or to the severity
of the winter itself. He urged
all county officers to take every
precaution to lower greatly the
infant death rate.
OF the two Maryland counties
bordering on the District, one at
least has appreciably lowered it's
death rate among children. This
was made known yesterday by
DR.. v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer for Montgomery county,
where the infant mortality rate
was 81 per cent. or 10 per cent
less than in the first four months
of last year.

NEW PICTURES

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.-Visi

be able to see invisible" pictures
soon.
That was revealed by James
Stokley, assistant director of the
institute in charge Of astronomy,
at the weekly luncheon-meeting
Of the Rotary Club in the Belle
vue7Stratford.
Mr.. Stokley explained that
murals, depicting various episodes
in the life of Benjamin Franklin,
are being drawn by Charles Bit
finger, of Washington, with
fluorescent colors, which under
normal light appear white. How
ever, when ultra violet rays are
played on them the pictures be.
come visible.
Since last year Mr.. Bittinger
has been at work on the murals,
working part-time under ordinary
light and part under the ultra
violet ray. Mr.. Stokley explained,
this procedude was necessary for
Mr.. Bittinger to find out how his
work was progressing. First he
paints under ordinary light to
be sure his painting is centered,
then he turns on the ultra violet
ray to find out how it looks.

Big Increase Predicted In
Demand for Air Condition
ing in Homes and Offices

Economists predict that the air
conditioning business will be Ameri-
cas- next great industry, the field be-
ing unlimited. Modern hotels and
office buildings of the future will all
be air conditioned. The owner of
even the most modest priced home
will find 1t just as economical to in
stall a combination air conditioner
and heater, as 1t now is to buy an
ordinary heating unit. 1t is believed
that air conditioners will be as COM
mon In the American home as an
automobile or q radio.
One of the new air conditioning
units developed recently by Chrysler
engineers, for use in homes, offices,
apartments and buildings, not only
acts as cooling and dehumidifying
unit during the summer, but al heat
ing and humidifying unit In the win
ter.
Standardization Of air conditioning
equipment, mass production methods,
Offering good products at prices that
the great majority of Americans can
afford, is the problem that engineers
are rapidly solving.

Tree Growth Affected
by Logging Operations

The bronze birch borer, often de-
seribed as the worst pest infesting
logged-over lands, takes n lower
place as a tree destroyer when com
pared with soil changes, mechanical
damage during logging. insects and
fungi, states n bulletin of the Uni
versity of Michigan school of forest.
~ and conservation, which describes
the damage to young trees during
and after logging operations.
Cutting out the tall trees brings
important temperature changes to
the smaller growth. especially in the
duff" or fallen leaves and twigs
around the roots, variations In quick
heating and cooling which seriously
affect growth, states Ralph C. Hall.
formerly of the university and now
assistant entomologist, United States
Department of Agriculture. Wind
evaporation, light intensity and rela-
tive humidity all change when the
protective large trees are logged out,
he states. and are important causes
of tree mortality or poor growth, al
though unrecogniZed.
This study has demonstrated that
the birch borer Is ordinarily n sec.
ondary enemy, while the primary
cause of decadence lies in the phys.
ical aspects of the environment
brought about by cutting" writes
Dean Samuel #. Dana, of the school
of forestry and conservation.

HOW HATS HAVE
CUT IMPORTANT
FIGURE IN PAST

What with the Black Shirts Of
Italy, the Brown Shirts OF Germany.
the Red Shirts in Soviet Russia, the
present generation might sing its OWE
"Song of the Shirt" though 1t would
be quite different from that OF
Thomas Hood. And yet-would II be
any cheerier than Hoods?
Whatever the sigDficance of shirts
In this era, other items of dress
have played their larger parts In
years gone by. History suggests that
people dress not so much for protec-
tion as for display, and sometimes
to denote differences In social rank.
Hats have played their large part,
for instance. Everyone is familiar
with the three-.ornered hat which
Napoleon made famous. 1t became as
significant for his time as did the tri-
colored cockade of TIE French revo-
lutionists. Was the three-cornered
hat of Napoleon designed to continue
the tradition Of the cockade, or was
1t just a fashion of the time? AT any
rate. the Napoleonic hat continues to
hold favor.
How much the Urban denotes,
worn by certain ~orientals! This
headpiece signifies much more than
a sash or shawl twisted about a cap.
1t divides the Orient from the Occi-
dent. 1t suggests rank and caste; 1t
seems much better fitted to a life of
quiet and meditation than 1t would
be to western hustle.
Even the soft felt hat, so popular
with men In this country. once had
international significance. 1t was
worn by the great Hungarian patri-
OF, Kossuth, upon his visit to this
country in 1S49. SO well did 1t seem
to typify his vigorous character that
1t Immediately became popular and
has long remained so.
Whether shirts will become as sig
niticant as hats in the human record,
is an open question. The variously
colored shirts Of today reflect much
history in the making. Surely, 1t Is
well for a man to know what shirt
he wears and to keep 1t on If he can.
