Scientists Seek to Chart
South Seas With Bottles

Professor Wilbur A. Nelson of the
University of Virginia plans "bot-
tie message bombardment of the
South Seas.
Outlining the itinerary of sci
entific expedition he will head for
National Geographic society and his
university, he said he would throw
1000 citrate of magnesia bottles into
the South Pacific.
Printed messages will be inclosed
telling the finder that he may 'keep
the bottle as a souvenir of the occa-
sion," but asking him to report
where he found it. The purpose is
to help determine the movement of
currents in the South Pacific.
Professor Nelson said the bottles
would be tossed from the coast
guard cutter Hamilton, which the
government has assigned for the ex-
petition, at regular intervals during
the year that fellow scientists will
tour the South Seas over an area
larger than the United States.

Maryland, second largest single indus
try in the state"
Five Point Program
A five point program, which will go
into effect at once, has been worked
out by the department. It deals with
five major lines of research activity,
including (1) liveability of poultry;
(2) efficiency of feed utilization; (3)
experimental work to obtain best kind
and most economical ration; (4) i'm
proving the quality of poultry prod
ucts; and (5) the study of the influ-
ence of light and gland products on
the physiology of egg production,
hatch ability, and fertility.
In addition to it's own program, the
department is cooperating with the
other University departments, private
industrial concerns, and the U. S. Gov
eminent Regional Laboratory at East
Lansing in it's attempt to better the
poultry industry of the state.
University Staff
Eight full-time staff members are
now employed by the University for
the purpose of working for the adj
vancement of the poultry industry in
Maryland. They are DR.. Morley A.

Poultry Research Building and Plant
has been completed and turned over
to the University by the United States
Public Works Administration.
Plans call for the unit to be occu-
pied around the middle of December.
The main building is three-story
brick structure of Georgian Colonial
design. It contains offices for the
poultry department staff, class rooms,
teaching and research laboratories; a
killing room; and storage facilities for
the killing, dressing, and storing of
poultry, and the grading, holding and
storing of eggs.
Other features of the building are
. poultry library; battery rooms for
conducting Institutional, physiological,
and breeding research work with
growing chicks; laying cage room
for conducting nutritional and other
type experiments with laying hens un-
der strictly controlled conditions; and
q dark room capable Of reversing day
and night to be used for production
studies on poultry.
Extensive Plant
In addition to the main building an
extensive plant is located on the Uni

Watch Your Weather
During Christmas Day!

Remember these old SuperStl-
tons about Christmas weather:
If the sun shines through the
apple tree on Christmas day,
there will be good crop the fol-
lowing year.
If ice will bear a man before
Christmas, it will not bear a
mouse afterward.
Thunder and lightning Christ
mas week means much snow the
rest of the winter.
Wet causes more damage than
frost before than after Christmas.
If it SHOWS Christmas night, the
hop crop will be good next year.
At Christmas meadows green,
at Easter covered with frost.
If windy Christmas day, trees
will bear much fruit.
Christmas wet gives empty

NIGHT DRIVING

Night driving has become in
creasingly hazardous, according to
complaints reaching the Keystone
Automobile Club, because of the de-
faint attitude of many motorists
who persist in the use of the "coun-
try BEAM when approaching other.
cars on the highway.
In recent months the Club has
received indignant protests from
careful drivers who denounce the
refusal of other operators to en-
ploy the passing beam" provided in
modern headlights. The binding ef-
feet of the high beam is blamed for
some accidents and a contributing
factor in others.
In urging motorists to respect the
rights of other users pf the high
way, George E. Keneipp, Manager of
the the Club, said:
eve cannot urge too strongly
upon drivers the importance. Of us
ing the passing beam upon APP
proach to other vehicles. Motor
vehicle law requires it and highway
safety demands it. Drivers who fail,
or refuse, to render this courtesy to
other motorists are unnecessarily
jeopardizing human lives. Night
driving at best is beset with haz-
ards, and it is vital to the public
interest that all drivers cooperate in
an effort to minimize the danger"

Follow the Rules
When Addressing
Christmas Cards

How do you address a Christmas
card to widow? A Divorce? A
business acquaintance? Here are
some tips on cards:
Generally speaking, greetings fall
into two classes, formal and infor-
NAL. If you use printed or engraved
cards for formal use, the title Miss,
Mr., or Mr.. and Mrs. should pref
erably appear above the greeting.
For instance: ''Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Stanyon wish you Merry
Christmas" rather than ga Merry
Christmas from Mr.. and Mrs. Thom-
as Stanyon."
On informal cards, signed in ink,
the husbands or wife's name should
come first, although ordinarily the
person signing would put his own
name last. In general, the hus-
bands name comes first. These can
be signed "Bob and Betty" or Bob
and Betty Bentley" depending on
how well the acquaintance knows
you.
No card should ever be sent with
out Mr., Mrs. or Miss prefix. An
unmarried woman is always adj
dressed as Miss A married
woman, whether her husband is
alive or not, is addressed with
Mrs" prefxed to her husbands
full name. Since woman's maid
en- name is used only on legal pa
pers or when she uses it profession
ally, a divorcee's maiden name may
be used if it's been established by
legal procedure after the divorce
was granted.
Cards to a married couple should
be addressed Mr.. and Mrs, even
though you may know only one of
them. If it's a business acquaint-
ance and you haven't met the
recipients wife, it's permissible to
send the card in his name only.
Business addresses are quite all
right, though there's a bit more
courtesy and more personal touch
to find out the home address and
send the card there.
A family in mourning may send
and receive Christmas cards as usu-
al unless the bereavement is very
recent-within the last two or three
weeks.

Crypt of knowledge
Contains Sound Film

People living 5000 years hence
will be able to see and hear the
flash and roar of artificial light
ming as it is now produced.
A sound film demonstrating arti-
fetal lightning, produced by the
10000, 000-volt generator, will be
sealed in the air-tight Oglethorpe
university Crypt of knowledge.
The film is one of five which have
been presented to T. K. Peters, di-
rector of archives at Oglethorpe uni
versity. The others include the life
story of Thomas A. Edison, the de-
velopment of land transportation
from the most primitive methods to
the electrified railroad, the history
of Panama canal operation and the
development of American naviga-
ton from the first crude Indian craft
to the massive electrically propelled
battleships of today.
It probably will take about four
or five years to fill the crypt with
the thousands of records that are to
be placed in it. Micro-book records
are being made of the worlds great
est literature, and the films are be-
ing sealed in stainless steel recep-
tacles after first being placed in
glass containers encasing an inert
gas.
An inscription plaque on the door
of the Crypt of Civilization briefly
describes the contents of the sealed
chamber and requests that they re-
main inviolate until the year 8113.
The date was decided by DR.. Thorn
well Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe
university, because when he started
the project in 1886 the year BIB
was just as far in the future as
the total number of years man has
recorded events in the past.

sURANCE PROVISIONS



In the State of Maryland, there
are more than $4,000 persons who
now have social security account
numbers; and most of them want to
know how the changes in the law
apply to them. BY way of supplying
information to our readers this
paper begins this week, series OF
articles, each of which will explain
one provision of the new social
security program.
Three of the amendments to the
act concern almost every family in
the United States, in one way or
another:
1. The wage tax of one percent
remains the same until 1943. That
is, the tax will not be increased in
1910, as was provided under the old
law.
2. In addition to monthly pay
ments to insured wage earners who
are eligible for benefits after reach
ing age IS, monthly benefits will be
paid to the aged wives and minor
children of these annuitants; and
monthly benefits are provided for
aged widows, for orphans, and for
widows with minor children of in
sured wage earners who die.
3. Monthly benefits will begin
two years earlier than was provided
in the original act, which means
that the first monthly payments OF
old-age insurance will be made in
1910 instead of 1912.
