the swirling snow a car that was
stopping in the barnyard. The plump
figures of a man and woman
were making wild dash for the
protection of the house.

They were such jolly pair and
Leah even forgot to be embar-

a feast of delicious fried mush and
butter and syrup and plenty of
fresh milk and coffee. Supper con-

College Youth Is Fine
Poet and Paper-Hanger

Evanston, Il.-A tWenty-year-Old
paper-hanging sophomore at North
western university won critics
praise with his first book of poems,
Landscape With Figures"
The wall paper, said the poet, Ii
onel Wiggam of Indianapolis, had
nothing to do with the title, for he
disdained the modern touch. Wig
gam said he was distinctly ortho-.
dox.
But orthodox was not the word
his professors used to describe him.
They long since gave up trying to
make him study courses that bored
him. When classes were run, Wig
gam went to them. And only them.
Paper hanging was just one of
those things a poet sometimes must
do to live. Wiggam did it to earn
his way through his freshman year.
He was also a waiter and a janitor.
Between jobs, he won prizes for his
verse. His money gave out and he
quit college.
Back home, he found inspiration
as a truck driver, a farm hand, a
road builder and art model, and
turned out rhymes for leading mag
azines.
This year he went back to North
western, financed by a scholarship
in the school of speech. There, under
the friendly wing of Lew Sarett,
famed woodsman and poet, he en-
tertains classes with his verses.

by that time the Merwins were
able to break the drifts and reach
the farm and the Madisons, via
those breaks, went on their belated
way.
1T will be a happy New Year
every day for year for us, Nom
sy," Leah shouted when the Mad
isons were out of sight. To a smil-
ing but perplexed family, Leah ex-
.,lained that Mr.. Madison owned a
small chain of meat markets and
small cross road grocery stores
and that he had given hel sufficient
orders COR slabs of cornmeal mush
just like she had served him and
his good wife. for all those stores
for one year at least. 1.-THE labels
q: this mush, he said, are to read
Lady Leah's Prize Mush'." When
II trio had quieted down bit she
added: 1.-The money en- of the con-
tract will settle all our financial
difficulties for the year and who
knows, maybe forevcr!"

Slouching Good for Some
Folks. Doctors Declare

Kansas City.-"Chin up, shoulders
back, chest out"
But the military bearing is not
the best for every one, Drs. Louis
B. Laplace and Jesse T. Nicholson
of Philadelphia told the American
Medical association at its recent
convention here.
every person has a certain pos
ture, determined by his particular
build and function, which is best
suited to him." they said.
'Slouching" is good for some peo-
pie, or, in the words of the doc
tors, ''there are many persons
whose optimum physiological func-
ton is attained in posture which is
not entirely correct by orthopedic
standards"
In such persons, they believe,
"the greater spinal curve" compen-
safes for individual differences in
body structure and physical activ-
ity.
Studies of twenty-three healthy
men and women, they reported,
showed that "vital capacity"-the
functioning of the heart and blood
system-can be diminished "by ex-
IRENE correction of posture as well
as by marked slump"
They found two persons, however,
whose blood circulation improved
with corrected posture. "Flexibility
of posture" results in the best vital
capacity and each case requires in
diVidual study. they concluded.

Kerosene on Rails
Saves Deer's Lives

MlSSoula, Mont. - Railroad
workers, acting on a suggestion
from forestry officials, are sprin-
king kerosene on switches and
rails to save the lives of deer.
Heavy SHOWS, which made 1t
difficult for locomotives to nego-
tate steep grades, also buried the
usual salt supplies of the deer.
Railroaders sprinkled salt on
the rails and switches to melt the
snow. Deer were attracted by
the salt, came from considerable
distances to lick it. Many were
killed by trains.
Rangers suggested kerosene 70
spoil the taste of the salt and dis
courage the deer from getting too
close to the rails.

New Device Junks Hand
Cranked Rural Phone,

Rochester, N. Y.-The old hand
telephone on the farmhouse parlor
wall, with its disturbing jangle of
shorts and longs, is on the way out.
With a device perfected by Will
ham J. Vincent rural subscribers
are promised the same type service
as urban users. Vincent's invention
is neon relay tube that eliminates
the hand crank and the old code
ringing system under which every
telephone on the party line jingled.
Now only the party wanted is sum-
moned by the bell.
The tube is being installed on all
rural lines served by the Rochester
company. Officials predict it will
be in general use throughout the
country soon.

FIRED BULLETS NOW
SURELY IDENTIFIED
New Instruments Perfected
at Northwestern "U."

Evanston, I'D. Two new instru-
ments which improve and facilitate
existing methods of identifying fired
bullets have been constructed In
Northwestern University's Scientific
Crime Detection laboratory by
Charles M. Wilson, research engl-
neer and assistant professor OF po-
lice science.
Details of the instruments which
enfbody new principles in the SCI
ence of ballistics are announced In
the Journal of Criminal Law and
Criminology, university publica-
ton.
With the aid of the new devices,
crime foes will be able to obtain fac
tual evidence from fired bullet with
virtually the same degree of accu-
racy which the bertillon expert ex-
acts from fngerprint measurements.
Many Difficulties Before.
Methods of determining the char
aeteristics of fred bullet and trac-
ing it back to the gun that fired 1t
have heretofore been confronted
with numerous difficulties and SUD-
ject to error.
It is to overcome these handicaps
that the Northwestern university
scientist has constructed the instru-
ments, one called variable stage
micrometer and the other an mcll-
nometer.
The micrometer is delicate IN
strument which measures the Wldtn
of land and groove impressions on
fired bullets to an accuracy OF hve
ten-thousandths of an inch. 1t re-
duces the possibility of error OF
measurement of certain character
istics of fired bullets.
BY means of this instrument the
following characteristics OF a fired
bullet can be obtained; maximum
diameter of the bullet and width OF
land and groove impressions. me
instrument is so constructed that II
can be clamped into position on the
stage of microscope. }
Errors Are Reduced.
The thermometer, like its COM
panion piece reduces errors of meas
urements made in the examination
of fred bullets. It reveals the rate
of twist" of the gun barrel from
whence a bullet came. BY twisting
a bullet slowly around under the
magnifying lens this information
can be obtained.
This is an extremely important
phase of ballistics since various
makes of firearms employ different
rifing. The 'twist" in some bar
rels makes a complete turn in 16
inches, others require 1874 inches.
The instrument consists of a spe-
cial compound microscope equipped
with special stage so arranged that
elements of lateral displacement
and rotation may be accurately
measured
New principles embodied in the
Wilson inclinometer dispense with
triginometric computations required
in existing methods. The determi-
nation of the angle of twist is thus
reduced to a simple arithmetical
problem which can be solved by
mere inspection of the rotational
and lateral displacements so meas
ured.

HAPPY

r EAH MERWIN had been the
one elected to stay at home

Leah hadn't a new or even a de-

Beginning of the Year

AS early as PSI BE-, the Romans
accepted January as the beginning
of the year. They named the month
in honor of Janus, the two-faced
god, as looking both into the past
and the future. During the Middle
Ages the year was made to begin
at various dates. In England, in
1851, January was made the first
month IL act of Parliament.
