Rayon Made From Various
Solutions of Cellulose

No one person deserves the en-
tire credit for inventing rayon,
which is the recognized trade name
in the United States for all synthet-
ic fibers formerly known as artifi-
cial or imitation silk, regardless of
the process of manufacture, as
serts writer in the Indianapolis
News. The lustrous filaments of the
fiber are made from various solu-
tons of modified cellulose, such as
wood pulp in proper solvent, which
is pressed or drawn through orifices
and solidified by means of a pre-
cipitating medium.
In 1864 Robert Hooke, an English
experimental physicist, published a
book in which he described a micro
scopic examination of natural silk
and suggested the possibility of pro-
ducing a similar thread artificially
Rene Reaumur, the French scien-
fist, made a similar suggestion in
1874. Perhaps the first patent for
the use of nitro-cellulose for the
specific purpose of manufacturing
imitation silk was that taken out in
1855 by Georges Audemars, of Lau-
same. The rayon industry, how
ever, did not really begin until after
1884, when Count Hilaire Chardon-
net, of France, patented his method
of initiating the silkworm in the
production of a filament of cellu-
lose. s-

A SPEECH OF NOMINATION

n OF CCCn OT NOM1NfA11ON
M OST of the reason for the title
1VA of these little stories-The Man
Who's supplied by the orators
at political conventions who place
the name of candidates in NOM
nation.
Today from the loudspeakers
come to most of us convincing
talks, startlingly free of modesty,
which extol the virtues of this
favorite son or that one as his
name is placed before convention
delegates.
But the most successful of these
nominating speeches occurred long
before static was a household word.
1t was made in Chicago at the Re-
publican convention of 1880 by
James A. Garfield, and made hon.
estly, in behalf of the nomination
of John Sherman.
Its net result was that Sherman
failed to win the nomination but
Garfield succeeded So that Gar
field, later martyred President,
actually is the man who nominal
ed himself.
Here is how it happened. Presi-
dent Hayes had pledged himself
not to be candidate. When the
convention opened it was plain
that great efforts would be made
to nominate General Grant for
third term. James C. Blaine was
a formidable candidate but Grant
had been presented in a glowing
burst of oratory from Roscoe Conk-
ling, a bitter enemy of Blaine.
Garfeld's speech in behalf of
Sherman followed Conkling's effort.
Instead of qualifying merely as an
anti-clmax it is described by those
who were there as an outstanding
oratorical triumph.
Grant, Blaine, Sherman, George
F. Edmunds, Elihu B. Washburne
and William Window divided the
votes until the thirty-fourth ballot.
Then Garfield, whose speech still
resounded in the minds of the dele
gates, received II votes.
He Immediately took the floor
and protested that he was there
only in the interests of Sherman,
whose candidacy he managed. He
was ruled out of order. On the
next ballot his strength had in
creased to so votes. On the thirty
sixth ballot, with 800 votes, he re-
ceived the nomination which his
epochal speech had asked for an
other man.

Meaning of Name Duncan

Duncan, a Celtic name, means
clark chief" 1t should not, there
fore, be conferred on a blond boy.
Duncan Phyfe (1768-1854) American
furniture maker of Scottish birth, is
rated the equal of the great English
cabinetmakers. He learned cabinet
making and wood carving in Albany
(where his family settled on coming
to this country when he was 12),
started his own shop in New York
when he was in his early twenties
and was successful from the first,
having 100 assistants in his shop.
His furniture, of dignifed colonial
type, harmonizes with American
homes of this design. Mahogany
furniture was his specially and the
fiat acanthus leaf his favorite de-
sign.

The Church And
The Community
By REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

1t seems increasingly hard to give
expression to thanks, and Thanksgiv-
ing seems to be more difficult this
year than last. This does not mean
that there are no things for which
we can really be thankful Nor does
it mean that we have less of those
things this year than last. To the
contrary, there is an increasing num-
Der of blessings for which we can sim
cerely be grateful. Many are the
good things that have prospered, many
are the developments that promise
even greater good in the future, great
is the happiness that each and every
one has experienced in the year that
has gone.
The difficulty does not lie in the
lack of good things; it lies in the
fact that also the evil forces seem
to have increased. Human suffering
has been increased horribly during the
past months, and rather than expect
ing it to decrease, we are all fear
fully afraid that future events will
add greatly to it. The moment we
die W give llldIlhS we oil Z dlI dlu LIld L
a SNUG and false feeling of security
shall make us close our eyes to the
present sufferings and to the danger
of future misery.
We are learning during these years
to give thanks in a new way We
have passed through an age where
we truthfully believed that we were
well on our way to gradual elm
ination of poverty, sickness and war,
where humanity was improving and
perfecting its mastery over the forces
of life. And now we are discovering
that the forces for evil are very much
stronger than we believed them to
be. We are therefore dismayed and
disheartened, and the dismay para
lyZes our thanks.
We must adjust ourselves to a world
in which the forces of death are
stronger than we believed them to
be. We must do this by building on
the faith in Gods strength rather
than our own. We must hope for
better things through that faith. And
in this faith and hope we must give
thanks despite all evil and dark
forces, for life, for food, for shelter,
for human blessings, for all happi-
ness, and for the eternal life which
conquerS all.

Grading of Wool

The grading of wool referred to
as the blood system presumably
originated in the early days of the
sheep industry when the Merino was
the fine-wool sheep on American
farms. Merino wool was called
"fine." All other woods were ranked
according to their relative degrees
of coarseness as compared with Me-
rino. Apparently the terms used to
designate the wool originally indi-
Gated the fractional quantities of
Merino blood in the sheep that grew
the wool of those types.

Slayers of Kings Deer
Suffered Chain Penalty

The Lorna Doone country of Eng
lands Devonshire, often called the
fairest in the island kingdom, is set
high on the green hills of Devon,
which rise abruptly from the Bris-
toll channel.
Visitors wonder why the roads are
so narrow, and the hedges along
side so high. 1t is because in
olden days the deer could eat the
peasants crops, but if the peasant
should kill or ever harm the kings
deer hanging in chains would be the
punishment. Hence stone and hedge
barriers were erected around each
field to keep out the deer, relates a
correspondent in the Los Angeles
Times.
All that remain as reminders of
the Doones in the pleasant valley
are a few moss-covered mounds,
ruins of the foundations of the vii
lage OF eleven stone cottages.
Nearby is Dare, small hamlet of
matched cottages clustered around
an old stone church. It was in this
place OF worship that Lorna Doone
was shot by Carver Doone at the
climax of her marriage to John
Ridd.
From their valley fortress the
Doones made raids on unwary trav-
elers crossing wild and lovely Ex-
moor forest. This gorse and heath
covered expanse of rolling hills and
hollows was until few years ago
the scene of many a holdup. Gibbet
hill is pointed out as the place where
the Doones were executed, bringing
about the peaceful reign.
