Savants Perfect Way
For X-Raying Metals

A new technique for X-ray analy-
sis of metals, alloys, Yields, or small
metal parts, which may be of great
value to the armament industry as
well as for peace time work, was
discussed recently at the twenty
second annual convention of the
American Society of Metals.
Early developments of this meth
cd are now used in airplane manu-
featuring. The improved technique
was presented by DR.. G. L. Clark,
University of Illinois chemistry pro-
fessor, and DR.. w. M. Shaffer, Iowa
State Teachers college chemistry
professor.
1t involves X-raying thin speci-
men of the metal on plates having
special, extremely fine grain photo
graphic emulsions, and then enlarg-
ing this negative 100 to 200 times.
The original photograph is about
the size of the end of a lead pencil.
The enlargement shows elements
in the metal, whether they are
spread evenly or punched, and any
flaws or cracks which are in the
metal. These flaws may be orig
inally present or result from work.
ing the metal. Flaws in Yields are
instantly noticeable. Entire small
metal parts may be X-rayed.
The X-ray gives the metallurgist
three-dimensional view, enabling
him actually to look into the speci-
men. Other methods of microscopic
study show him only the surface,
and involve troublesome techniques
of etching or polishing.

Cork Native Of Spain

Cork is the thick, soft, porous
outer bark Of the cork oak, which
is an evergreen tree of the oak fana-
lily native to Portugal, Spain, North
Africa and most other countries bor-
dering on the Mediterranean. The
cork of commerce is not the true
bark of the cork oak through which
the sap circulates, but layer of
spongy, elastic, tough and impervi-
Gus cellular tissue that forms out
side the true bark. If the true or in
ner bark of the cork oak is damaged,
the tree will die; but the outer layer
of cork, which is light because COM
posed of the walls of dead cells
filled with air, may be removed.

HOLD MEETING
AT WYOMING
POultrymen Assemble at High
School to Elect Officers
For Coming Year
POULTRY TOUR MOVIES

Officers and directors of the Cae-
sar Rodney Local Poultry Associa-
tion for the coming year were
elected at a recent annual meeting
of this organization which was held
in the vocational agriculture room
in the Caesar Rodney School with
an attendance of over thirty mem
bers and visitors from the central
and western sections of Kent coun-
ty. Charles G. Marker, Dover, was
elected chairman, and Louis Bloom,
Hartly, chairman, with Samuel
M. Sloan, vocational agriculture in
structor in the Dover Community
School, as the secretary-treasurer.
The directors include Albert B.
Cote, Cheswold; Thomas Singleton,
Jr., Dover, and E. Cowgirl Barnard,
Woodside. One of the interesting
subjects discussed at this meeting
was the construction of various
types of poultry houses for both
layers and broilers, and the opera
tion of these houses on the most
convenient and practical basis.
Among those poultrymen who led
in this discussion were Albert B.
Cote, George M. Bringhurst and
Louis Bloom. Movies of the poul-
try tour taken last August by sew
eral Delaware poultry growers
through the New England States
were shown by H. l.. Richardson,
Extension Poultryman of the Uni
versity of Delaware, who accom-
panied this group on this inspec-
tion tour of some of the leading
poultry farms in that section of the
United States which furnish hatch
ing eggs to many of our Delaware
poultry raisers. These pictures,
which were filmed by Mr.. Richard
son, showed how the New England
poultry farmers and hatcherymen
manage their focks for increased
production of quality eggs for
matching purposes. In addition to
the poultry specialist, the Agricul-
tural Extension Service Of the Uni
versity Of Delaware was represent
ed at this meeting by Kent County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, and the
