SPOKANE. Wash. July 12.-An "alterhatograph" has been built by a high school student here.
 Spokane science teachers believe it is the first instrument to dem onstrate visibly that alternating electric current actually alternates.
 Royal Ostby, physics student at the John R. Rogers high school, IS the "alternatograph's' inven to r. With his device he has obtained a perfect check on the Spokane 6O- cycle elecric supply 'fa hts''''s"s
 l. R. Minzel, physics instructor under whom Ostby studied, believes the ealternatograph" may become a standard piece of laboratory equipment tiae" down tiir v.
 Ostby first stepped down the 1l0- volt current to six volts with a toy transformer, then led it to a tele- phone receiver, W here current vibrations, or alternations, were recorded on the disk. Wifsd 5p 'ip
 A bamboo stylus. wired to the disk, was regulated to mark each vibration on a chalk whitened glass slide, while another stylus, on pendulum, marked passing seconds

NO PLUMBING,
 HITCH HIKER
 MAKES RECORD

WEATHERFORD, Okla, July 12. On warm afternoon eight years ago, M. D. Smith, retired Spanish American war veteran, started for a walk. He hitch-hiked to Clinton and back, 30 miles. He liked the experience so well he made the trip almost daily, then started vis- iting other towns. He estimates he has hitched-hiked more than 100,- 900 miles. There is scarcely sales man in western Oklahoma who doesn't know him and he's ac- quainted with at least one family in every village surrounding Wealth erford. tGai
 He's never thumbed anyone.
 T just start walking and if mo- body stops call it exercise, even- tually turn around and go back home" says Smith.

Light hats are making fashion headlines in New York's smart luncheon spots.
 White natural colored and pastel chapeaux are seen on some chic heads as accessories to sober clothes and even the dark hats are often frightened with giddy touch of veilinglir H'e .aH
 At the recent opening Of the Japanese Garden at the Ritz a number of women topped their black and navy blue costumes with brimmed white hats, sometimes en- veloped in white veils One wore a wide brimmed atura1 straw cI1apeau having crown covered with tiny bright flowers, as access sorry to a suave black crepe frock and another set "a vivid orange straw sailor trimmed in blue gros- grain ribbon above her navy blue suit. Agt h''as ft Ia
 Gladys 'Swarthout, opera and mo- ton picture star, capped her brown costume with a chartreuse velvet toque crowned with a huge white oigandy flower and several women stepped out in the new ''peewee" hats of light colofed felt-doll-sized ehapeaux set aslant on top of the coiffure. ls M9fa t.'si pi
 Dark hats were there in number too, however, and many of them reflected the seasons vogue for wells. One wide -brimn1ed bla c k straw sailor was wrapped up neat | ly in a plight red veil and a dark blue toque was swathed in veil woven in as many colors as Jo- seph's coat. ss
 Black or navy blue costumes often linking dark simple wool coat with printed frock were worn by the majority of the wom- en-. Many others topped their dark or printed frocks with brief silver fox or mink jackets. Most of the prints were woven with dark grounds splashed with small dis erect white figures. A number of frocks were designed with lower necklines-vee, square, or round edged with ruches or narrow double ruffling. Several of the .smartest women wore their sleeves pushed !

LODI, Cali, July 12-Mrs. Arthur Scott claims to be the first woman to vote for a President of the United States. She explains:
 When Wyoming became a state in 1890, women retained the suf- frage granted in territorial days. Mrs. Scott's husband, an election officer, opened the polls for the 1890 election two hours ahead of schedule to accommodate a friend who was leaving on a business trip. Mrs. Scott voted then, for Benjamin Harrison.

CLEMSON COLLEGE. S. C., July 12.-South Carolina farmers are get ting from 10 to 15 cents a btlshel mere for their sweet potatoes, al- though the price in the big eastern markets is generally less than it was last season.

Rescuing Washington's half-starved
children is one of the main jobs of
Miss Edith Torkington, superintendent
of the Children's Country Home,
Eighteenth street and Bunker Hill road
NE. Since the Districts relief allow
ance for small child averages less
than S. month, while about So is
the minimum on which he can be
properly fed, this gap brings large
number Of the weaker children of relief
families into the clinics and hospitals.
After their medical needs have been
met, they still need more food and rest
than they can hope to get at home.
The lyckiest of these children are
put under Miss Torkington's care.
After a few weeks at the Children's
Country Home, which looks just like
its name-a bigg rambling home, set
in the midst of spacious grounds and
overfiowing with boys and girls whose
ages range from months to years
most Of them build up enough resist
ance to withstand the ups and downs
of poverty.
Only the lucky ones get this break,
however, for there is always a waiting
list for admission. Some do not even
get on the waiting list. Practically no
children are sent to the home from
Gallinger Hospital, for example, not
because they don't need the care, but
because the hospital staff is so over
worked that there is no time to help
parents plan for their children's con-
valescence.
Put Under Nurses Care
AS soon as child is admitted to
the home, he is put under the direct
care of a graduate nurse. However,
nursery aide, under the supervision
OF the a'rse, does the routine work of
meeting the child's physical needs.
Each year Miss Torkington selects six
young girls for these nursery aide Jobs.
She gives them careful, personal in
struction in nursemaid work and after
a year of such training places them in
private homes as trained nursemaids.
The demand for these girls is great.
People write for them from all parts
OF the country, and there are never
enough trained girls to meet the de-
mand
Special needs of the children are met
by a staff of three trained nurses and
nVe visiting physicians. These physi-
