SAFETY POSTER CONTEST
In SCHOOLS

In cooperation with Governor
Herbert r. O'Conor's Maryland Traf-
fic Safety Committee, to bring to the
attention of the young people OF
the State the need of greater traf-
fic precautions, a Statewide Safety
Poster Contest will be conducted in
the county high schools, under the
sponsorship of the Alumnae Assoc
citation of st. Mary's Female Semin-
airy, at st. Mary's City, Maryland.
The contest is part of the elaborate
observance of the Tooth Anniversary
of the founding of the Seminary to
be celebrated this year.
Students in the Junior and Senior
years in High School are eligible to
enter the contest, for which prizes
of $25, $40 and S. will be awarded.
The posters in the various counties
will be submitted to the Board of
Education of the county, and three
winning posters selected by the
County Committee. These will be for
warded to the Maryland Traffic Safe
ty Committees Offices, at Annapolis,
where a final judging will be held
to select the three State prize win
ners. The judges will be Hans Schu-
Ter, Director of the Maryland School
of Fine and Applied Arts, as Chair
man of the Committee; Isaac 8.
George, Chairman of the Public Ed
ucation Committee, and Hughes
Wilson, Design Department of the
Maryland Institute of Art. All en-
tries must be in the office of the
County Superintendent on or before
May 10th. /
Since the inauguration Of the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee
for the purpose of improving Traffic
conditions in Maryland, the Alumnae
Association of st. Mary's, of which
Mrs. w. Lee Hoke, of New Wind
sor, is President, have been vitality

Purcell, in common-sense way

pays for a good growing mash whether
he uses it or not" declares Purcell
"Pullets improperly fed take longer to
mature. This creates feed loss and
an egg loss. And this right during the
highest egg market"
And Purcell has good supporting au-
thority to prove his contention about
feeding during the growing period. In
agreement with him on his ideas of
good feed during the growing period
is G. F. vickers of the Ohio Poultry

New Scientific Device
Records Heat of Sun

DR.. John D. Strong, California In
stitute of Technology physicist, has
utilized newly invented optical
pyrometer to record accurately the
temperature on the face of the sun.
According to him that temperature
is approximately $4,000 degrees
Fahrenheit.
The pyrometer, DR.. Strong ex-
planned, measures the heat thrown
off from the sun by recording the
intensity of its light waves. Hereto
fore this was impossible until the
physicist introduced the principle Of
the infra-red ray in his pyrometer.
With the aid of these invisible rays,
1t is possible to gauge accurately
the intensity of the light rays given
off by the sun.
"Once we have captured the in
tensity of light of the suns rays it is
quite simple to measure-by COM
pairing with previously proved for
mulas-the degree of heat existing
at its source" DR.. Strong said.
The optical pyrometer used in the
experiments is similar to that used
to measure the heat of molten steel.
In the steel industry the variously
colored heat waves record the tenn
perature of the molten steel when
viewed with an optical pyrometer.
DR.. Strong made his measurements
of the suns heat by gauging the in
tensity of infra-red rays emitting
from the sun.
DR.. Strong found several other
interesting facts concerning ozone
heat that are much closer to home.
Experiments with the new pyrom-
eter revealed that the official wealth.
er bureau temperature is not uni
versal throughout the area in which
the temperature is taken.
For instance, the physicist found
that when the official Fahrenheit
reading was 725 degrees, it was 87.e
degrees on the ground, 1915 degrees
on the surface of oak trees and 97.2
degrees on the south walls of build.

q. s. SAVINGS BONDS SOLD ONLY
TO INDIVIDUALS

A new U. S. Treasury policy, ef-
fective since April LIST, restricts the
sale of United States Saving Bonds
TO individuals. Registration must be
in one name only, in two names as
co-owners, or in one name with
another individual designated as
beneficiary. A further restriction
prevents any but residents Of the
United State or it's Territorial Pos
sessions, or citizens temporarily liv-
ing abroad, from purchasing the
ponds.
This automatically eliminates cor
porations partnerships, associations
trustees, guardians, etc., from buy
ing such bonds as investments. The
reason given by Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau for the
change of policy was that Saving
Bonds are intended primarily for
the small investor as a repository
Tor relatively small amounts. The
new restrictions will prevent large
wealthy groups from grabbing the
lions share of this type of invest
ment.
This class of bond is proving ex-
ceedingly popular with the small
investor, as an average of 100000
persons buy them each month.

England,s Patriotic village

Rhuddlan, England, is village
both patriotic and lucky. In the
days of Edward I it was an armed
camp. Ever since, it had taken the
lead among English counties for pa
triotism and fervor in time of war.
In the World war it gave a quarter
of its population to the army, and
those who were too old to fight took
munition jobs. Of the 1000 inhabi-
tants, 221 joined up and 220 returned.
So Rhuddlan is both patriotic and
lucky. In the present war, every
young man in the village able to
fight has gone. More than quarter
of the total population of 1,700 is in
khaki. Not youth between II and
Is is left in the village nor is there

Ancient Egyptian Bread

In the Metropolitan museum Of
art in New York city, there is a
basket containing the oldest bread
in the world. This basket Of bread
was discovered in the tomb of an
Egyptian woman by the name Of
Ra-Mose and her husband, Hat
Nufer, who lived about $500 years
ago. This ancient bread is well pre-
served today. One loaf has a hard,
glossy crust. Another seems to be
a kind of fruitcake which may have
been the wedding cake of this mar
ried pair. According to the religious
beliefs Of ancient Egypt, the soul
after death required nourishment,
just as in life. Thus, bread was
often placed in the tombs.

Special Driving Tests
Reduce Accident Cases

In a special automobile driving
test based on psychological, lines
given by a group of the 81 of Cali
fornia's worst traffic violators, the
result showed drop of 63 per cent
in major and 40.6 per cent in minor
violations for the group.
A similar select group of chronic
and dangerous violators remained
INFESTED. These INFESTED drivers ex-
perienced a rise in violations after
the testing date. For the two years
after the tests the INFESTED group
had 557 convictions for traffic law
violations as against 1874 convictions
for the tested drivers.
Similar tests were made on a
group of good drivers, represented
by the track drivers of a certain
corporation. Variations in their
driving efficiency were measured in
terms of accident frequency before
and after testing. Following the adj
ministration of special tests, the rec
ords of the tested drivers improved
even more. A group of untested
drivers from the same company,
used as control, experienced more
accidents after the testing dates; al
though all of the drivers concerned,
both tested and INFESTED, were con-
sidered safe, cautious and capable.
The only conclusion that can be
drawn, according to the authors of
the tests, were that the tests in ques-
ton made better drivers out of good
ones and materially improved both
the driving technique and the eau
ton of the poor drivers.
