but to her belongs the distinction

who had the power of analysis to

While other reporters fell into the
mistake of playing up the ''orator of
the day. and paraphrased a race
track expression by adding, "Presi-
dent Lincoln also spoke" Mary
Shaw, a reporter on the Hanover,
Pa, Spectator, reported what Lin
coin said, word for word
Below her likeness is this inscrip-
ton:
Her frsthand report of Lin
coins Gettysburg Address bore wit
ness to its greatness. In her &C.

garnered Lincoln's words from his
own lips. She helped the world to
long remember. Her fellow towns
men pay this belated tribute to her
courage, enterprise and foresight

LanS un Blood

Some members of the bat family
will eat fruit or bugs. In fact, the
biggest bats in the world-the giant
fruit bats of Java-have no interest
In a blood diet. This is fortunate
for the natives, for these bats meas
ure three feet and more across their
wings.
There is many a legend about the
vampire bat, and not all of these
tales are true. One persistent bit of
lore is that the creature is a blood
sucker. This is wrong. The vam-
pire literally laps up blood with a
tiny and amazingly efficient tongue
This tongue flicks back and forth at
high speed when the flesh of the vic
tim has been punctured and takes
up the blood so fast that it seems
the eating is done by sucking it up.

First Citizen Is Also
Last in Oklahoma Town

LOCKRIDGE, OKLA. J. Len
hart was the first citizen and the
last of this Oklahoma village.
Lenhart moved out only after all
other Lockridge residents had left.
The story of Lockridge's fall is not
new one-larger towns in the i'm
mediate vicinity lured the residents
away.
The town was founded in 1903 and
proSpered until the fatal cotton and
wheat year of 1910 Then it hit the
doWngrade despite several efforts by
Lenhart-who was its first mer-
chant-to keep it alive. When Len
hart's store building was razed by
workmen, the last mark of Lock
ridge was gone. II was the last
building there.

Quart Milk Without Cost
Each Day Defense Move

Declaring that 38 per cent of the
first 1000, 900 draftees were declared
unfit for military duty, largely be-
cause of malnutrition, w. D. Dob
bins, Birmingham real estate man,
is steadily building support for a
plan under which every child in the
nation, under IA years of age, would
receive a quart of milk each day
without cost.
The Dobbins proposal, which he
hopes to have introduced in con-
greSS as soon as some difficulties
are ironed out, provides for an mi
tial federal appropriation of $780,
900, GOO to start operation of the plan
which he characterizes as a de-
Tense move
DObbinS cited figures showing that
26 per cent of the nations $4,000, COO
school children are undernourished
and liable to serious mental or phys
iCal illness.
He would have the department OF
agriculture issue white stamps SIM
liar to food and cotton stamps now
being used, with which those un-
der IA could purchase not more than
one quart of milk day.
His slogan is: "a quart of milk q
day per child will make the cheeks
of American children rosy, the pas
lures green and the farmers pros
porous"

american Inch Kept
Stable Fifty Years
Meter Bar Checked Often to
Detect Dritting.'

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Amer
lean inch has remained stable, with
in the limits of measurement, for
half century, DR.. Lyman ]. Briggs,
director of the United States bureau
of standards, revealed in a paper
published by the Smithsonian 1nsti-
tuition.
The national primary standard OF
length, DR.. Briggs says. is meter
bar made of an alloy Of the rela-
lively rare metals, platinum and
iridium, which is kept at the bu-
reau. Actual checks, however, are
made with another bar which, IN
spite of its hard usage, has in
creased in length only about .OOO4
of an inch, or less than two micronS,
in half a century. The platinum
and iridium alloy was selected be-
cause of its extreme stability.
The bar in actual use is checked
frequently with its prototype and,
up TO the time of the war, with the
world standard meter bar which is
kept at the International Bureau Of
Weights and Measures at Paris.
There might still be the poSslbll-
ity, DR. Briggs points out. that both
the American bars are drifting
and that even the international bar
might be changing in length. For
tunately. he SAYS. there is a way of
checking this with a standard which
is Interchangeable.
Every element. when made lumi-
nous. gives out light of specific wave
lengths There has been selected a
single wave lerCth-a red light line
given out by the element cadmium
and which. it has been ascertained,
has a length Of precisely 6438. 1896
AngstTom units An Angstrom unit
is a ten-milliOnth of a m!ll!meter.
When the meter bars are meas
ured with these light waves. there
is no evidence of a systematic drift.

Record Making Delicate
Work; Gold Plated

Heat is necessary to record max
ing, but never afterward. A disk
starts with a round metal plate, one
half inch thick and slightly larger
than the record will be when fin
lshed. It is heated and a thin lay
er of wax flows on to be cooled care
fully and passed on to the recording
room. The sound picked up by mi
crophones and converted into cleo
trical energy by amplifiers piped
into the room is changed back into
mechanical energy and impressed
on the thin layer of wax by the
cutting head. The waxed plate In
put on a machine under vacuum
and the recorded surface is covered
with very thin layer of gold.
It is now a metal plate with layer
Of wax containing music cuts and
the surface is gold plated. 1t is put
into copper-sulphate solution for
Is hours and a heavy copper plate
put over the gold. This copper-plate
is lifted away from the wax and the
inside surface is gold with an oppo-
site impression of music. The disk
is nickle plated, then chrome plated
to make the grooves more rugged.
1t now is ready to be put on a press.
Then the label is set in the CEN
ter, the mass of the formula is put
on the disk and it is heated to 800
degrees. The press is closed by
hand and opened Immediately. The
finished record then is ready to play.
But before it is played on your
photograph, brush off the carbon
dust with a velvet buffer or a soft
hair brush like you use on your felt
hat.

Labels Help Identify

A helpful idea at canning time is
to label jelly glasses, fruit jars and
other containers with the name of
the contents and the date of prepa-
ration. Then it is always easy to
identify and select whatever is want
ed off the shelves.
One of the easiest ways is to hold
the paper label on the jar with trans
parent adhesive tape which seals
tightly at touch of the finger and
requires no moistening. This tape
p is transparent as glass so the label
is easily read and is also protected
against stain or dust. Tape and
label are readily removed when de-
sired
Many housewives also label their
r.orcroCn, shelves III the same way.
