The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-07-29

At the sameDr. r. D. W. Conner
time, at least one Of the divisions
Of the Library Of Congress is hav-
ing its busy season In efforts
closely allied with the new arm
Of the Government. Work is hum
ming along in the manuscript d.
vision.
Every effort is being made to
draw q distinct line between the
class Of treasures which will be
stored under supervision Of these
two institutions so there will be
no duplication Of effort.
The Archives will house all the
Official papers Of the Government
and the Library will continue to
gather the personal and semi
official papers Of persons Of i'm
portance.
It is estimated that when the
Archives gets in full swing a
student will, be able to come to
Washington and find in the
Archives, Library Of Congress,
Smithsonian Institution and Blu.
reau of Standards the answers to
any questions he may have IN
mind.
Strange to say at present the
Photographic industry Is contribut'
ing very interesting collections to
the Archives and the Library
while the Bureau Of Standards is
hard at work perfecting a photo
graphic film that will hold these
records intact for centuries.
PRESERVED IN FILMS
In the Archives have been col.
lected in specially built vaults
hundreds Of thousands Of feet OF
government moving picture film.
Besides the government output the
Archivisit is storing up films which
have a direct bearing on the his
tory Of the country. Such as news
reels Of inaugurations, etc.
In order to properly present
these to students miniature
movie picture house Is contained
in the building. It is about the
size of the pre-view room in movie
houses where the films are run
off for executives and movie
houses where the films are run of
for executives and movie critics
Unfortunately the archives pro
lection room will have to be reno
waited and sound brick substituted
for the regular wall facing Sc
that sound movies can be shown
without bad acoustics.
: The library uses film for an en-
tirely different purpose. In a glass
{ enclosed section of shelves off the
, manuscript division are rolls o.
= films containing two and a hall
million pages Of manuscript.

Greatest Show on Earth
BIZ Frank Miller Smith

According to DR.. Thomas Mar
tin, it has been found that this Is
the cheapest way to get copies OF
important documents from other
countries and other Libraries for
reference work. It costs about 3
cents q page to copy manuscript
by this method and from 20 to Is
cents to make hand copies or
photostats. This film is neatly
packed in boxes and carefully
catalogued. A lot of it was taken
in Great Britain, France and Spain
and contains reports from repre-
sentativeS of these countries sent
home during the colonial days.
For instance, there are some re-
ports of the Society for Propaga-
ton Of the Gospel. These agents
reported on the social and politi-
cal aspects of the new country
as we'll as the religious. Some Of
letters which have been photo
graphed also plead for raise in
pay, citing the fact that it was
pretty hard to get the necessities
of life over here at that time. In
this respect the old records show
that the times and human nature
haven't changed very much.
COPIES FURNISHED
Under direction of the attend
ants at the Library these films are
placed on a roll over a big box
and when properly focused the
manuscript is thrown page by page
on glass at the bottom Of the box,
giving perfect vision.
Some Of this film also Is trans
ferred in copies and distributed to
other libraries and students
throughout the country.
Now that the schools Of the
country are on vacation, students
and professors are making their
annual pilgrimage to Washington
for their research.
Professors Of history are in the
main the biggest customers. Their
hope for advancement lies In their
research work. AS a number Of
them are unable to get away dur
ing the school year they save up
their money and come here during
July and August. Desks are as
signed to them in the Library and
they go to work.
Students also come mere at this
time Of the year to work up infor-
nation for their theses In higher
education.
Often, however, the student will
be so far away that ne will be
unable to make the trip. In this
instance, the Library sends copies
of the documents sought. Requests
come into the manuscript division
at the rate Of 80 to 20 a day. All
are taken care Of as soon as pos
sible.
TREASURES
One Of the greatest treasures in
this division are the papers Of the
Presidents. These are all carefully
sorted and bound.
In some instances the papers Of
other men are also kept. The latest
collection is that of Senator Walsh
who died at the beginning Of this
Administration. Some of the men
in public life began turning their
papers over to the Library while
they were still in office and long
before they died, such as President
Coolidge and William Howard
Taft. Today the Library has
started a collection of the papers
of Chief Justice Hughes, which are
| being sent each year.

tain gully, he finds this song
of the great lover, the most dag
cling lady-killer that ever walked
the earth, with more suits OF
clothes, jewels and women than
any other. Everywhere they &c
they find new verses and versions
but their search Of years has
yielded nothing as to its origin. II
has the range and persistence Of
the John Bunyan legend in the
lumber camps Of the Northwest.
Mr.. Lomax Classics his songs
roughly as tunes, ballads and dit
ties. Fortunately, he IS the kind
of a collector who doesn't spoil
everything by being too scientific
A few years ago, there was
physicist, Milton MetfeSSel, I be
ieve his name was, who did q
prodigiouS amount Of work break
ing down Negro spiritualS into a
graph, made by q revolving drum
as their component vibrations
were somehow shaken out Of them.
He had an idea he could build a
new theory of estheticS by taking
to pieces "Au Gods Chillun's Got
Wings"
PECULIARLY AMERICAN
Nothing much came of all that
and, fortunately, most Of the
music conservators, such as Mrs.
Edouard May, Of New Orleans;
Mrs. Annabel Morris, Of Marion,
Va; Miss Mary Newcomb, of
Kentucky, and Miss Morris, are
genuine music lovers, intelli-
gently sympathetic with the old
South and realizing that here is
something innately and pecu-
liarly American which must be
preserved.
Before the machines hit their
top speed, America made its own
songs-lots of them. When the
Civil War was over, and Grant
led his troops down Pennsylvania
Avenue, a multitude of more
than 100000 men and women
sang songs which had surged in
the hearts of the soldiers and
citizens during the war. It was
the kind of a war which made
SongS-gallant generals tearing
around on shiny black cavalry
horses and all that.
In the World War, our Journey
men SongsmithS, such as Irving
Berlin, did q nice. workmanlike
job Of fashioning songs to the
needs Of the customer, but these
modern warS-lying in a mudhole
and pressing a button, to kill
somebody six miles away don't
make for singing. The boys
brought back "Hinkey Dfnkey
Farley VouS" and few other odds
and ends. but when they marched
up Fifth Avenue, or Michigan
Avenue, or Market Street, or
Main Street, there was no song
by the crowds - barring maybe
"Over There!" and a few such
"Store" songs.
If we have anything worth
fighting for, isn't it perhaps eS-
sential that we shouldn't forget
how to sing about it? Otherwise
it might be taken away from us by
somebody who knows how to sing.

confessed house-breaker and en-
terer, in the cases in which Chief
Harry NJ. Baker and DIR. n. c.

robbie i.
The information in the PintadO

Asked if there will be any
charges filed against the woman
who is being held in jail in con-
nect;on with the roI berries, the
county solicitor said this question
has not as yet been determined.
In the event that charges are
filed they will, it is expected, al

sheriff's officers who were told

Moore went with Deputy Ray

stolen articles were hidden. and
showed the deputy how the hiding
places could be reached, it was
said.
