other group was passing through with
us, apparently father and mother and
young daughter of high school age.
We turned and saw tears in the eyes
of the young girl.
Set in inches in the walls of the inner
tomb are several small statues of Lin
coin, the work of outstanding sculp-
tors-Lincoln as the rail-splitter, Lin
coin as the young attorney Lincoln as
the circuit rider, Lincoln as the great
president, etc. On the outside, steps
lead onto the flat top of the lower
structure to the base of the shaft. A,
the four corners of this upper struc-
ture are found bronze groups depicting
the different branches of the Union
forces during the Civil war-the in
fantry, the cavalry, the artillery and
the navy
Leaving the tomb we drove to the
house occupied by Lincoln when he
lived in Springfield 1t is we'll preserved
and is now national shrine, open tt
the public The building is a white
two -story structure, with green shut
tiers over the windows, very similar te
many houses we later saw in New Eng
land. 1t occupies about quarter block
of ground, with white picket fencs
across the front and side, the rear o.

ing to the second floor This is not
open to the public. AT ones left there
are the front and back parlors which,
we were told were used only on state
occasions. To the right of the hall were
the family sitting room and dining
room, with fireplaces in all rooms.
Much of the furniture had actually
been used by the Lineolns or was
common to their day. Some of the
chairs and davenports were upholstered
in horsehair cloth, all showing much
wear A large mirror, from floor to
ceiling wide gold frame, attracted at
tention Numerous pictures of the fam
ily- we're hanging on the walls Pictures
of George and Martha Washington hung
on either side of the fireplace In the
front parlor. 1t is interesting to note
that in this room Lincoln received the
news of his nomination to the presl-
dency On the windows were lace cur
tains with about yard resting on the
floor; Grapes were of rich, dark red
material, tied back, and with gold
moulding across the top. Powered car
pets, popular in that day, covered the
floors. In addition to the articles OF
furniture, numerous dishes and other
utensils were scattered about A Bible
read by Lincoln lay open on a table.
A small fashioned clock stands
on a shelf with the hands pointing to
7:22 a. N, having been stopped there
when news Of Lincoln's death reached
his Springfield home. And they have
pointed in mute silence for 10 long
years, since April Is, 1865.
The house is finished in black wal
nut and oak, the floor boards about
| four inches wide. A young woman
caretaker told us it was built with hand
wrought iron nails and wooden pegs.
Into the Southland.
| Leaving Springfield we dropped
directly south through Illinois, crossing
the Ohio river into Kentucky at Pa
ducah. Then we cut across the western
portion of Kentucky and that evening
drove into Union City, a few miles
across the line in Tennessee. We had
passed through beautiful country all
the way, a pleasantly rolling district,
wooded, and lovely in its spring time
verdure. We were now definitely in
the South LAND.
We had begun the day by paying
homage at the tomb Of the immortal
Lincoln We ended it driving in comfort
and ease over the Jefferson Davis
highway" highway named in memory
of the one and only president Of the
Confederacy, one of whose fanaticaI
and mistaken sons shot to death the
great and lovable Lincoln. a man
great in intellect. great in statesman
ship, great in his love for mankind, and
before whose tomb we had bowed in
the early morning of that day.
Next weeks article will take us into
New Orleans, if we do not lose our
way in too long a description of the
interesting sights We encountered along
the delta of the Mississippi river.

United States Inventors
Are Busy Despite Slump

New YOrk.-The activities of
American inventors seem to have
been encouraged by the depression,
for as many patents are being
granted in the United States in the
past few years as in normal times.
The ingenuity displayed by invent
ors, the seriousness of purpose and
the value of their ideas is fully up
to their high standard.
A patent is issued today in the
United States for every $500 popu-
lation. The average is higher than
in any European country. This is
explained by the natural inven-
tiveness of the average American
youth and the high monetary re-
wards for successful inventions.
Despite the depression there are
some fifty group patents in the
United States which have earned
S1,OO0,OO0 and thousands of others
which have brought inventors large
incomes.
1t now is possible for the invent
or in the United States to be regu-
larly trained in the art of invent
ing. The Inventors Foundation. a
philanthropic organization, has
established courses in training in
ventors in leading universities and
by correspondence. The inexperi-
enced inventor is taught by experts
how to study the patent field and
find just where new inventions
most are needed. Since inventors
often are inexperienced in business
and law, the courses instruct him in
the best plan for disposing of his
patents so that he may be assured
fair return.
