bring her small fortune.
About two years later, visitor
picked up the story and read it to
the end. This is a great story"
he exclaimed. ut ought to be
printed as a regular book"
When Dodgson heard this sug-
gestion, he smiled at first, but after
time he agreed to let a publisher
see it. The result was printed
book, issued in London. Exactly
three years after the boat ride in
which the story had been started,
the author gave a printed copy to
Alice Liddell, who was now IA years
of age.
You can place this alongside the
copy I made by hand for you," he
said to Alice.
So it came about that "Alice in
Wonderland" was published. The
author had decided to use a pen
name. and called himself Lewis
Carroll The initials of his real
name were c. L. D., and you will
notice that he used the first two
when he chose his pen name.
Dodgson, at the time, was 33 years
OF age, and had hopes of growing
famous in the field of mathematics.
No doubt that was the reason he
chose pen name to put on his
nonsense book" He did not want
his real name to be mixed with
anything of that kind.
AS it turned out, Dodgson wrote
many books about mathematics.
but his fame today rests chiefly on
his Lewis Carroll books. AS the
years passed. thousands of copies
OF Alice in Wonderland" were sold.
The volume travelled across the
Atlantic, and editions were printed
for the young readers of Canada
and the United States.

were so much interested. and said
to Alice, Il am going to write it
down so you can read 1t again,
whenever you want to do So"
Then back to the oxford grounds
he went, and gave another deep"
lecture about mathematics. Such
lectures were to 60 on, but Dodgson
found free time to put the story of
Alice on paper. Within a few
months he gave her the handmade
book. Besides several thousand
words, 1t contained a number OF
pictures which Dodgson himself
had made.
Alice was proud Of the gift. but
she little knew the value it would
have some day. She was unable to

Wartime England Escapes
Epidemics, Nurse Reports
By Frances Lide.

Perhaps the English, even un-
der present food restrictions, are
getting a better balanced diet
these days.
Some believe it is due to an
"act of God"
But whatever, the reason, there
has been no major epidemic in
wartime England such as the
influenza epidemic of the World
War.
That crowded conditions have
not caused any widespread out
break of communicable diseases
SO far is without scientific ex-
planation,' according to Miss
Gertrude Madley, just returned
from England where she was
chief nurse of the Red Cross
Harvard Hospital.
Miss Madley, herself, refuses
to support any theory and Brit
lsn authorities wonder why there
have been no epidemics, she told
press conference yesterday.
One supposition has been that
by having to eat the things they
can get, the English are on an
improved diet, Miss Madley said.
Garden vegetables are available
throughout the summer, she de-
clared, and the English are eat
ing more salads than heretofore.
The standard brown flour also is
nutritious.
Miss Madley returned to Red
Cross headquarters here when the
Red Cross-Harvard Hospital was
taken over by the United States
Army. Established for a study of
wartime diseases under siege
conditions, it originally was
operated jointly by the Ameri-
can Red Cross, Harvard Univer-
sity and the British Ministry of
Health.

les failed to develop in England,

motor speedometers" was discussed.
The portable hook-on instrument has
innumerable uses and Is the most val
liable single instrument to have
around the average mining or indus
trial operation.
To measure the alternating current
(60 cycles in Montana) flowing In a
wire, 1t is merely necessary to open
the iron horseshoe at the top of the
instrument, slip it over the wire, and
close the horseshoe. The switch below
the dial should be set on a current
rating higher than you expect to
measure or If you haven't any idea
Of the current, start with the 900 am
pere rating and work down. The
switch can be operated without remov-
ing the instrument from the wire.
BY this very simple procedure, it Is
possible to check the loading Of all of
your motors. The nameplate ON tbs
motor generally shows the current rat
ing for full load. AS q rule OF thumb,
three-phase induction motors take
approximately "a amperes per horse
power for 220 volt motors and Ii am
peres per horsepower for 40 volt
motors. That is the current in each OF
the three wires.
It is well to check the current in
all three wires to the motor as any
unbalance usually indi-
Gates trouble which should be cor
rected.
A word Of caution In measuring cur

rent. Do not clamp the instrument
over 2 conductor or 3 conductor
cable and expect to measure current as
the result will probably be zero. The
current In individual wires must be
measured.
The particular instrument shown
here, also has a voltmeter. The volt
meter must be connected to the circuit
to be measured by pair Of flexible
leads. 1t is important to set the switch
on 600 volts unless you are sure the
voltage Is less than $50.
BY connecting the voltage leads to
the circuit and then placing the iron
horseshoe over one wire, it Is possible
to measure both the voltage and cur
rent practically simultaneously by
shifting the switch from volts to am
peres. This is particularly useful in
checking the starting conditions of a
motor for often long circuit causes
low voltage with increased starting
current which may overhead the motor.
The instrument is tested to stand
1000 volts between the iron horseshoe
and the handle and switch, but it Is
recommended that rubber gloves be
used when testing circuits above 600
volts.
If you have an adequate priority
rating to buy an instrument of this
type, when properly used it win pay
big dividends. Get one for your cleo
trician and you viii find that he will
be as proud Of it, as you would be If
you had an Earl Carol Vanities'
beauty with you at the September
mining meeting at Livingston.
