In 1920 he became acquainted with
an extraordinary lens system that
enabled him to step up his magniflca-
ton to 5000 times.
Then he turned to the ultraviolet
microscope. This was langulshlng
apparatus Of German origin. invented
by koehlcr in 1900. Its theory was
sound - the idea that by photograph
ing with ultraviolet rays through
quartz lenses one should be able to get
images of objects smaller than any
thing that the coarscr rays of visible
lipht reveal. But nobody had been
able to focus the invisible rays. So

He bought one and studied it two
years. He made a trip to Germany to

metals as sources of illumination,
tried various wave lengths Of the slen-

finally attained deft technique of

ease. and on rare occasions. with par,

increased magnilication to 5000. Fine
images in some of his recent photo
graphs have measured only about l23
atoms across.
Recently he turned the new micro
scope on living cells and, in collabora-
ton with leading biologists. has made
important microscopic reports on the
lnfinlteslmally small organs within
cells. Since the publication of these
researches there is scarcely week

youth, sought out the international
authority on metals. and between

A microscope in business office!
None of the business minds endorsed
the idea. But Lucas kept thinking
about it. His wife encouraged him.
There was some money that they had
saved as an emergency fund. She
urged him to buy microscope with 1t,
and see what he could see.
So several bundled dollars were
withdrawn from savings, and the fol-
lowing Saturday :, shiny new lnstru-
ment was set up on the kitchen table
of the Lucas home. There, working at
home on his own time. the sunervisor
of inspectors began a microscopic
examination of thin sections OF wood.
He saw details that none of the
theorists had anticipated. There were
differences in structure. and in the
degree of penetration of the preserva-
tive oils - and soon Lucas was able to
read these minute appearances as
clues to wood failures and wood sue
cesses. Thereafter the batting average
of his inspecting rose steadily.
And the microscope? Oh, it moved

THE POETS CORNER

I saw stream, a mighty stream
Arushing to the sea,
And as I watched it's turbulence,
I thought, hThat's not for me.
I want the placid, 'limpid pool,
With waters still and deep,
Whose quiet face can catch the sky
And lull the s. ors to sleep.
I want pool as doop as thought,
And framed with friendly trees,
With ripplos laughing joyously
Whom chased by vagront breeze"
And thon the heavens opened wide
And filled Q virgin glado,
And there before my eyes I saw
The pool my dreams had made.
My heart was light, my eyes worc bright
So soon my dreams camo true,
But with moro thought knew that
Had many thinrs to do.
The lovely pool Wcs thorc for nc.
But work was just begun,
For if it wasn't fed afrcsh,
Thon Was my droa11 undono.
Unless lifo Was to it fed,
Then roods and woods would grow,
And nois ONE things would choke it's ,lifo,
And scum begin to show.
For nothing ever stay still
However VOL begun,
And now streams must the wators food
A blood stream throuPh it run.
Our town is like g placid pool,
Thoroin cur danger lies,
For lest VIC strive incroas inrly,
The soul Of Greonbelt dies.

Rabbi Berkerwitz
Addresses NAACP

PORTLAND, Ore. - Prefacing
the address and in honor of Faith
er's Day, Mr.. Rubian Sullivan
sang you've Been More Than
Daddy to Me-" ably accompanied
at the piano by Mr.. Henri LaBelle.
Mr.. Edgar Williams, president of
the Branch Association, presented
Rabbi Berkerwitz who addressed
the mass assembly from the sub
ject based on "The Cooperation of
the Minority Groups" Rabbi Ber-
kerwitz gripped the assembly as
he related incidents and conditions
so familiar to all minority groups,
especially the Negro and the Jew.
Among the countless references
made, the Rabbi said, you and I
taste the same bitter cup to find
a unified solution to our problem.
$50 far as l am able to see ahead,
the only means is to find bril-
liant and sacrificing leader, I hope
a minister" The Rabbi further
said, 1--WE shouldn't become impa-
tient with ourselves and each 9TH
er as we make an attempt to
maintain that unity as minority
groups. We have upon our lips
and in our mouths that bitter fla
vor of being misunderstood. Both
of us as Americans and both suf-
fering discrimination, should have
a pathetic understanding" He adj
monished the group in their con-
tention for rights which are justly
theirs as American citizens.
Mr.. Kelly Foster, chairman of
memberships, presented the re-
wards to the winning contestants
in the recent membership drive. To
Miss Barbara Hubbard, a check for
$63 as first prize, to Mrs. Carrie
Ingersoll, check for $37 as Sec

pointed to wait on the manager of

Ring Win Pleasing
To Negroes Here
By Katherine G. Boyle

Portland's Negro citizenry took
the results of the Joe Louis-MaSS
Schmeling bout with comparative
ly quiet joy but with two-point
pride. They were proud first be-
cause Joe is American and second
because he is an American Negro.
No extra parties or gala cele-
brations of the event marked the
evening, though telephones were
busy as friends compared reac-
tions to the Brown Bomber's latest
dazzling display of fireworks.
Opinions were something like
this:

happy that the title is to be kept

"Schmeling beat Louis before,
and then Dragged so! And then he
said that Joe didn't have the in
telligence to box and fight with

I'm glad he showed what he could
do" James Braggs, waiter.
II knew Joe could beat Schmel-
ing. 1t was a lucky punch by
Schmeling that whipped Joe in the
fourth before, though he wasn't
put away until the 18th round. Joe
