Overstreet Tells Town

A graduate school for adult
who "have brains, but

Harry o. Overstreet, head Of the
Department of Philosophy Of the
City Of New York, who spoke be
fore a town hall meeting last
night on Putting Philosophy to
work"
"The trouble with our society,""
said DR.. Overstreet, lis that
we're all too specialized intel
lectually and too self-interested
emotionally. The reason is that
we haven't learned to think col
lectively or to feel collectively.
NEED ADDED KNOWLEDGE
'We're all specialists in our
little fields. We don't know
anything about matters in
which we all should be inter-
ested, such as fluctuating cur
rency or taxes. If we're going
to build q new-faShioned civiliza-
tion, we've got to build 1t with
q new.fashioned mind. We've
got to be trained beyond our
SpecialtieS.
1--WE are handicapped as o
people by our principle Of In
dividual success. Until we adopt
q communal sense we will never
create an ideal society. And by
that I don't mean communism,
but the old.faShioned teachings
of the Bible, Love thy neighbor

had was from Angustias who told
him accusingly that La Goberna-
dora, imprisoned in the monjera at
Carmel, had been very i'll, but was
now better.
''No wonder" snorted the old
woman. with no decent food OF
clothes. I went over to Carmel sew
eral times to brush her hair, and
that old beldame, Maria, wouldn't
let mel"
1t was his first impulse to run
to her swiftly. Suddenly, more than
anything in the world, he wished to
hold her in his arms, to comfort
her as though she were little girl.
His flower, his Eulalial Why, it was
because she was such a spirited,
fiery little thing that he had fallen
in love with her and married her.
And after he had married her, he
had spoiled her, and been away
from her too long; was her fiery
spirit broken after these two long
months in the monjera to which he
had sentenced her?
He sent a messenger to her to
tell her to come to him as soon as
she was able.
For he could not trust himself to
60 to her.
And Eulalia, in the austere mon
jera, wept.
Suddenly, to her, nothing seemed
so desirable as to be in her hus-
bands arms, wherever he might go,
whatever he might be.

CHAPTER xxx

Triumphantly Eulalia sailed on
the first ship that put out from Mon
terey, with the two children and
Angustias. From the shore Pedro
FACES watched the ship as far as
he could see it, then turned and
rode madly to the Mission Carmelo.
He went into the little church, and
kneeling by the tomb of Junipero
Sierra talked with his old friend.
1t would be year before his sue
cessor would arrive. And the time
was all too short in which to say his
farewells to the land he had loved
so faithfully, so he had FASTENED
first to the old missionary.
He spent the year putting his af-
fairs in order, tending, with an ach-
ing heart, his trees and vines.
And at the end of the year his
successor came. On board the old
San Carlos arrived his old friend
Captain Romeu, who had persuaded
Eulalia so long ago to come to Cal
ifornia.
A few days later the San Carlos
was due to sail. On that same day
the great Spanish explorer Malas-
pima put the frigate Descubierto into
the harbor of Monterey. Those on
shore watched her launch a long
boat among the frisking whales.
When the long-boat landed there was
bundle wrapped in sail cloth.
"a dead sailor" said the captain.
'We wish to bury him ashore"
So he was buried. Pedro FACES
and the new Governor of the Cali
fornias paused by his grave on their
way to the beach from where Don
Pedro was to be rowed to the San
Carlos. They examined the slab of
lakewood that bore his epitaph.
"John Graham, seaman. Born
in Boston, Massachusetts, :"
"Our first American" murmured
Romeu.
Pedro FACES looked east across
the mountains. In his minds eye
he saw higher ranges of mountains,
deserts, prairies, rivers, more
mountains and great inland lakes.
And across that country, men has
tening to the call of the siren, Cali
fornia, and her golden lure.
"You are right" he said, 'tour
first. But not, o Governor of all
the CALIFORNIA;, our last"
Then he fastened to the waiting
lancha and, turning his back reso-
lutely on the land, was rowed to the
waiting San Carlos. Soon the sails
filed and Romeu, watching on the
shore, saw the gallant old paquebot,
which had borne Pedro FACES to
California, slowly turn with the tide
to bear him away.

Asbestos Is Costly and
America Hasn't Much of 1t

Washington. - Asbestos, magic
wicking material once used in the
non-burnable wicks of the ever-burn-
ing lamps tended by the Vestal
virgins of Rome, and now a part OF
nearly every farmers oil stove, is
not a single mineral, but trade
term applied to a number of fibrous
materials, DR.. Oliver Bowles, of the
United States bureau Of mines, told
the Geological society of Washing
ton.
Commonly found associated with
serpentine rocks, from which it is
formed by alteration and recrys-
utilization, asbestos varies in value
from $3.50 ton for inch-long fibers
of chrysotile "a very high grade),
down to less than the cost of mining
for the short-fbered poorer grades.
The greatest problem in asbestos
production, Doctor Bowles said, is
to separate the asbestos from the
rock without breaking the fibers.
Not well supplied with asbestos,
the United States has commercially
productive deposits only in Vermont
and Arizona. Most of our supply
today is imported from Canada,
with the other producers - South
Africa and Soviet Russia-sending
small amounts.

you to the charming fashions pic
tured.
The ensemble shown to the left
makes costume ideal to wear now
and throughout the summer where
ever daytime activities may take
you. Lustrous, transparent black
Swiss organdie makes a tiny sep
arate bolero and over skirt that but
tons at wide waistband over a
softly draped frock of Swiss wolfe,
embroidered in trailing vine pat
tern in bright red to complete a
charming costume of tailored but
feminine charm. You could wear
the black bolero and skirt over other
light dresses.
A most unusual print design adds
to the interest of the party frock
for young girl, as you see GEN.
tered in the picture. The Swiss or
candle that fashions it has large
white flowers imprinted against a
background of tiny flowers in bril-
liant shades of rose against navy
blue background. The crush sash
is of deep rose taffeta, tying in
youthful bow at the back. The shout
der corsage is a single huge pink
and rose shaded taffeta flower.
A dainty frock for dainty miss is
the fitted and fiared party dress to
the right. It is of clear white Swiss
organdie with pin dots of deep blue.
The grosgrain ribbon bows at the
pulled sleeves and down the front
repeat the deep blue accent.
The wide range of organdie types
brought out this season will both
amaze and delight you. Many new
print ideas give fresh appeal to or
candies. Mentioning only a few,
there is print design of little white
plumes scattered over a pink ground
you'll love. A small spaced paisley
motif in deep rich colors on white is
very attractive. Perhaps the most
notable of all are the chiffon or
CANDIES in pastel color shadow print
ed in white, navy or black in very
exquisite and realistic lace pattern
ing with floral motifs scattered over
the background.

Hot River Carries Away
Radioactive Materials

New York.-Hot river, draining
Mammoth Hot Springs, famed
thermal region in Yellowstone, car
ries away radioactive materials
equivalent to 40 grams of radium
a year (worth $4,000 if extracted)
Drs. Herman Schlundt and Gerald
F. Breckenridge, University of Mis-
souri, biologists, find.
Draining the deeply buried rocks
of some of their heat-producing ra-
dunn content, these hot spring wa
tiers, of unknown origin, do not con-
tain much radium per quart, but
over a years time the amount of
radon, a radium by-product, re-
moved is very great. Other hot
springs, outside of Yellowstone park,
also contain radium, suggesting that
chemical changes deep in the earth
are substantially the same wherever
hot springs occur.

Current displays of fine Swiss cot

The biggest appeal of all, how

Device That Tests
Surface Accuracy Is
Mechanical Marvel
BY WATSON DAVIS

New York.-A human hair
about Is feet across. That is
what it would be if it were mag
nified with one of the latest test
ing devices for automobile
parts.
One of the wonders of modern
mechanical engineering is the rou-
tine measurement of finely finished
surfaces so smooth that magnifca-
ton of the order of $4,000 times Is
necessary. So exacting have be-
come the demands Of modern ma
chine shop practice that the working
surfaces of anti-friction bearings,
for instance, require great accuracy
and smoothness. Surface Irregular
tiles less than a hundred thousandth
of an inch 30 micro-inches) are
cause for rejection.
A machine that measures so finely
with the rapidity necessary In ac-
tual production, has been achieved.
The profilometer, as it is called, has
a tiny point that traces the almost
molecular surface irregularities.
This varies the current flowing
through a magnet and this current
is sent through special amplifiers
and circuits. Thus, electrically,
there is created that high magnih-
cation necessary.
Record Written by Light.
The magnifed replica of the sur
face desired is the ight-written rec
ord of the oscillograph into which
the current is fed. If a permanent
record is desired, motion picture
camera is aimed at the waving light
line of the oscillograph.
How far machine shop precision
has travelled during the age of pow
er will be realized when it is re-
called that Watt, inventor of the
steam engine, was elated when he
found that Wilkinson's boring mill
could machine an engine cylinder
true to within the thickness of a
shilling.
The dawn of precision in machin-
cry came when the system of inter-
changeable parts was adopted early
in the last century. Arms factories
in Connecticut pioneered in measur-
ing accurately with gauges.
With accuracy increased many
fold, this is the principle that under
lies the machine age of today.
