Set Up Signal Corps in
1868; Developed Telegraph

An act of congress of March 8,
1868, created the signal corps. It
originally was authorized chief sig
nal officer, with the rank Of colonel;
one lieutenant colonel, two majors,
and the necessary number of cap
tains and ieutenants.
Today, the supply service of the
signal corps handles the procure
ment of radio, telephone, telegraph,
and all other signal equipment not
only for the use of signal troops but
also for the air forces, the infantry,
coast artillery, and other branches Of
the army. This means the stand
ardization, purchase, inspection, and
distribution of billions of dollars
worth Of communications equip
ment.
Pioneering originally in the mill
tary application Of the newly invent
ed telegraph, the signal corps has
been responsible for many advances
in the science of communication. It
was the first federal agency to col
lect meteorological data by tele-
graph. The first U. S. army planes
were purchased and flown by the avi-
alton section Of the signal corps, and
the first ground-to-plane radio COM
munication was the elimination Of
its experiments.

Explosive in Rivet Now
Fastens 1t in Aircraft

Radio frequency energy now is
used to detonate explosive rivets and
spread production Of aircraft.
The radio unit assures instant
control of temperature in the firing
tip, eliminating time Consumed in
heating an electric iron to operating
degrees and in frequent changes
from one tip temperature to another.
This method is adaptable only to
large scale production. The electric
riveting iron, now used widely, Is
still preferred for many types OF
work.
Explosive rivets were introduced
two years ago, breaking bad bottle
neck in fastening airplane sections
where riveters could work from only
one side. They are installed at
rate of IS to 20 minute, as con-
trasted with two to four a minute
for most "blind'' fasteners.
The rivet has a high explosive
secreted in a cavity at the end Of
the shank. Heat applied to the rivet
head detonates the charge. The ex-
plosion expands the charged end Of
the shank, forming blind" head
and setting the rivet.

Check Casualties Carefully

The prompt, accurate, and SYM
pathetic dispatch of information to
the families of army personnel re-
ported as wounded, missing or dead
is the function of the casualty
branch of the adjutant generals de-
partment. Organized in October,
1912, the casualty branch took over
all duties connected with receiving,
editing, and dispatching casualty in
formation When a casualty report
is received, usually by radio or ca
BILE, it contains the serial number of
the individual, as well as his name
and grade. These data are imme-
diately checked with the "emer-
gency addressee card which is on
file for every member of the
army serving overseas, giving his
full name, serial number, and the
name, address and relationship of
the person to be notified in case Of
emergency. Intensive precautions
are taken to guard against the pos
sibility of mechanical errors in
transmission. Cases of identical
names, and sometimes almost iden-
teal serial numbers, mean that at
times the records of numerous 9TH
er agencies of the war department
must be consulted.

Evaluating Research

It is curious circumstance that
research, which Is the most scien-
tific of all pursuits, should be one
of the most difficult to evaluate in
dollars and cents. Those of us who
are enthusiastic about research are
apt to refer to its value in most gen.
eral terms.
Lord Kelvin is often quoted as say
ing that when you can measure
what you are speaking about and ex-
press it in numbers, you know some
thing about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot ex-
press it in numbers, your knowledge
Is meager and unsatisfactory kind /;
it may be the beginning Of knowl-
edge, but you have scarcely, in your
thoughts, advanced to the stage of
science, whatever the matter may
be-" Perhaps, writes Eugene Ayres
in Scientific American, Lord Kelvin
would say that, despite the eminently
scientific nature Of research, its ap-
praisal for business purposes is only
dimly understood.

Feeding Program for Dairy
Herd Should Be Balanced

A well-balanced feeding program
for a dairy herd should comprise
about one-third hay or silage, one
third pasture and one-third concen-
trates, according to some dairy spe-
cialistS.
A Jersey COW weighing about l 1000
pounds will eat about 20 pounds of
dry matter in roughages daily. If
this is obtained from tender green
grass containing IS per cent of wa
ter, the COW would have to eat 1874
pounds of grass. If gotten from
silage she would have to eat go
pounds daily. The sum of this is
that one pound of hay is equivalent
to three pounds of silage, and about
six pounds of green grass based on
the dry matter contained.
Hay should be fed the year round,
specialists advise, even when cows
are on good pasture. In that case
they will not eat much hay, but the
moment the pasture begins to fail
they start eating more, if the hay
is before them. Experiments show
that production of milk was main
tanned more evenly where cows had
access to hay at all times.
Good green grass is the best and
cheapest feed for a dairy COW. But
a high producing COW cannot hold
enough grass to entirely meet her
requirements. Accordingly, it is nee
essary to feed some dry roughage
and concentrate feeds additionally.
Since pound Of digestible nutrients
from roughages is as valuable as a
corresponding amount of concen-
trates, and usually much cheaper,
as much as possible of the feed re-
quirements should be sought from
roughages.

Central America Is Future
Field of Tropical Produce

Sandwiched between the United
States and South America lies the
tropical section which geographers
now refer to as Middle America
section whose fertile soil and warm
climate make it a potential source
of many Of the products which for
merly were laboriously imported
from Malaga, the Netherlands In
dies and other distant tropical lands.
Middle America comprises exactly
10 nations = Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras, Ell Salvador, Nicaragua,
Costa RIGA, Panama, Cuba, Haiti
and the Dominican Republican,
nearest southern neighbors.
These 10 nations are now prac-
tically our only source of bananas,
and abaca "a fiber from which
Manila-type rope is made), and i'm
portant sources of coffee, natural
rubber and cocoa or chocolate.
These 10 nations are also poten-
tial source of quinine, castor oil, ka-
polk, vanilla and many other prod
ucts needed in the United States.
Experimental paintings and studies
are now under way that promise a
real development Of these American
tropics after the war.

Now Professor Can Laugh,
Students More Forgetful

The old professor may be absent
minded, but he has nothing on his
students at the Pennsylvania State
college.
According to the Student Unions
annual report, 1882 articles valued
at $8,539.12, were returned to the
proper owners by the colleges lost
and found bureau during the past
10 months. These figures represent
two-thirds of the total articles turned
in, and only small percentage were
found to belong to faculty members.
Co-eds lose their scarfs and gloves
most frequently, men students their
fountain pens and glasses. Among
the articles returned were 122 foun-
tain pens, $40 notebooks, "a coats, 81
pairs of glasses, " slide rules, ISL
pocketbooks Zone with nearly a hum
dred dollars in CASH, % rings, 20
watches, SO hats, SO raincoats, 80
umbrellas, SO key cases, 48 scarfs,
12l pairs of gloves, and 876 books.
The biggest laugh, however, ac-
cording to Student Union officials,
still came from the old professor
who lost his automobile. He report
ed it missing from his garage. II
finally turned up parked in front OF
his office. In confusion the professor
said he left 1t there before gasoline
rationing.

Saws Soil Losing Nutrition


m The human species is degenerat-
ing as result of declining soil fer
tility, DR.. William A. Albrecht of the
University of Missouri declares.
"The nutritional bases for our plants
have been slipping to lower levels"
DR.. Albrecht says. "The plants, in
turn, are giving forages of lower
nutritional values to animals. The
human species, likewise, is moving
to lower levels. Keen minds among
the doctors of medicine and Of dem
tistry have seen degeneration in
bodies, minds and souls taking place
at the highest rate among our peo-
Piles claiming the maximum Of
knowledge, invention, and standards
Of living. The soil fertility on an
individual farm can be depleted
enough through failure to return
manure, crop residues, and other
fertility forms in a single human
generation, to shift that farm from q
place of good health to one Of de-
ficiency diseases for the farm ami
mails and for the families on it."

TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS

During the month of April 957
traffic accidents on the streets and
highways of Maryland were reported
to the Traffic Collision Statistical
Bureau. Baltimore City reported
698 accidents with 8 deaths and 356
injured, and the counties 259 acct
dents with 10 deaths and 165 injur-
ed.
Baltimore City with nine deaths
for April is the highest it has ex-
perienced for any one month since
the first of the year-while the
counties with 10 deaths is the lowest
they have experienced for any one
month since the first of 1943. How
ever, the State, as a whole, had a
1879 reduction in fatalities as COM
pared with the same month a year
ago. The years total for fatalities
is now los as compared with It's
for the same period last year-a re-
duction of 40 percent.
Fifteen counties experienced q
fatality-free Worthwhile Calvert,
Charles and Queen Anne counties
had a perfect accident month-no
collisions. no deaths. NO injuries.

Milkmaid Gives Clue for
Vaccine Against Smallpox

I, During smallpox epidemic of the
late 1780s, when most people stayed
indoors, Worcestershire Physician,
iOrnithologist and Poet Edward Jen-
.ner one day met little milkmaid
walking about the nearly deserted
streets and cautioned her to go
home quickly for fear of infection.
She paused only long enough to say:
"Oh, / can't get it. I've had cow
pox." The words aroused DR.. Jen-
ner's interest and launched him on
/ an inquiry which lasted several
years. All over the countryside he
visited farms and spoke to dairy
hands. Invariably they repeated the
! girls assertion: Those who had
had cowpox went free of "fever."
/ In 1895 Jenner was prepared to
put this rural belief and his theory
/ to test. From the hands of a
dairymaid he obtained cowpox virus,
scratched it into the skin of eight
year-old James Phipps, watched him
sicken slightly and then recover.
Nineteen days later young Phipps
was inoculated with smallpox virus,
barely reacted.
Almost seven years elapsed before
DR.. Jenner's discovery was accept
ed. During that time he campaigned
alone, inoculated gratis as many as
300 poor Londoners day. Finally
the medical world conceded that
vaccination meant immunity. and
for the next 40 years it worked on
the determination of smallpox, now
a textbook disease to most medical
students.

RABBITS VERSUS VICTORY
GARDENS

OF course it is most encouraging
to the Game and Inland Fish Com
mission to learn that the cottontail
rabbit is so plentiful in the major
ity of sections of Maryland that it
has become nuisance to the persons
in the cities and towns who are try
ing to cooperate with the Federal
Government by planting and raising
Victory gardens. The farmer does
not have as much trouble with the
rabbit nuisance as residents of cities
and towns due to the fact there is
SO much more green food on the
farm than there is aronud the cities
and towns and small Victory gardens.
| If person would stop and think,
he could hardly blame the rabbit for
trying to secure food for mainten-
ance since the rabbit must live as
we'll as the human and naturally
tender sprouts of peas, beans, and
other vegetables are tempting to
John Bunny" We receive calls
daily at this Office from residents
of Baltimore City and suburbs COM
planning of rabbits eating their
green plants in their Victory gar
dens. Usually the Victory gardens in
the cities are very small and planted
in the back yard, however, the de-
struction of plants by rabbits may
be very easily curtailed if the per-
sons, who have Victory gardens and
are annoyed with rabbits eating the
plants, would follow the recommen-
dations listed below, thereby saving
both the plants and rabbits-the
plants for food and John Bunny"
conserved for those persons interest
ed in the great outdoors during the
coming hunting season in the Fall
of 1913. We are glad to recommend
any of the following sprays:
Cd Three ounces of EPSON salts
to one gallon of water.
CD One teaspoonful of Creolin
or Lysol to one gallon of water.
90 Plants also may be sprinkled
with lime of blood-meal when COW
cred with dew or otherwise wet.
(4)Bordeaux Mixture may be
used as a spray or busted on the
plants when wet with dew.
Rabbits do not relish any of the
above, so take your choice-but re-
member to be effective the process
will have to be repeated after every
hard rain.

Expert Says Soldiers Have
Better Voices Than WAACs

Soldiers have better natural sing
ing voices than the WAACs, In the
opinion Of John r. Jones, one OF
eight USO music advisers now con-
Quoting group singing and training
song leaders at USO clubs.
Although the WAVES show an
eagerness to take song leader train
ing courses, sailors make better
song leaders, is the conclusion
reached by Oren L. Brown, another
USO music adviser, from his expert
ence with both groups at USO clubs.
Soldiers sing The Caissons Keep
Rolling Along with thrilling snap
and ABANDON" Jones said, but
when it comes to songs my mother
taught me- the WAACs impart a
delicacy and sweetness beyond the
reach of men,"
Jones said that a greater proper
ton of WAACs have brought the hab-
it of singing with them into the serv-
ice, and sing well. Soldiers are
slower getting started" he said,
'but once they get under way they
take a second seat to no one, not
even the WAACs. ! have no doubt
that the WAACs themselves would
candidly admit that they prefer a
male chorus to woman chorus any
time.
''Women's voices with all their
contrast and color sound best when
they have mems voices for founda-
ton. In the average WAAC and
soldier groups musical ability Is
about on par"

Balance Protein

Failure to keep the protein content
Of the grain mixture fed to dairy
COWS in balance with the roughage
in the ration causes greater loss in
milk production than any other
thing.
There are but two simple facts to
bear in mind. A low protein rough
age requires a high protein grain
mixture, and a high protein rough
age requires low protein grain
mixture. Protein is the only element
which stimulates milk, but it is i'm
perative to keep the correct balance
between the grain and the roughage
to assure maximum production. Too
little protein quickly lowers the yield
and a too large percentage has q
similar reaction, with the further
hazard Of possible harm to the cows.

Must Force Oil On

In Pennsylvania nature gives only
about one-third of the oil in the
ground, biologists say. Then it must
be taken by forced methods. About
third more can usually be OBJ
tanned in this way, but third still
remains in the ground, and must be
extracted by still more efficient
means than those commonly used
now. The usual method of Second
airy recovery" is water-fooding the
fields by input wells. Three, four,
six, or eight input water wells are
grouped around one output oil well.
All of the oil produced in Pennsyl-
vania comes from reviving fields
which once were considered finished
for all practical purposes.

Settle Boundary Dispute

A century of litigation and dispute
over location of a portion of the
Indiana Kentucky state boundary
line has ended with signing Of bill
by the Indiana governor following
its passage recently by the state
legislature. All that is necessary to
write fms to one of the few remain
ing state boundary disputes is ap-
prevail of the Indiana Kentucky
agreement by congress, which has
the matter under consideration.
The dispute itself has been going
on since a shift in the Ohio river
channel more than a century ago
left a tract of Kentucky land some
five miles long and a mile wide on
the north side of the river adjacent
to Evansville, Ind. Meantime,
Evansville had located its water
works on portion of the territory.
The dispute was brought to head
during recent years after numerous
roadhouses were built on the strip
of bottom land. Despite protests by
Evansville Of insufficient policing,
Kentucky peace officers were reluc-
tant to patrol the tract separated
from their mainland by the river
while Indiana officers had no au-
thority within the area. Consequent
ly, the area became a haven for
1awless elements. The bill has been
drawn in such a manner as to leave
the Evansville waterworks in Indi-
ana. Kentucky's legislature adopt
ed the legislation last year.

Peru Produces Tannin

The wild tara bush, source Of an
extract for tanning leather, is devel-
oping into a new source Of wealth
for PERI. The tara bush is a close
cousin to the divi divi found in the
Caribbean countries. It grows wild
along the semi-arid foothills Of the
west coast Of the Andes. It bears
long pod filed with seeds. The pod
and pulp which surround the seeds
have a tannin content Of so to go
per cent. This is an even higher
content than is found in the sumacs
cultivated for this purpose in south
ern Europe. Tara has nearly twice
as much tannin, according to the
magazine, as quebracho wood, found
in Argentina and Paraguay.

Cook, Add Water, Eat

Pre-cooked and pre-mixed break
fast cereals are now available to
United States troops overseas, the
war department disclosed. A proc
ess, developed by the quartermaster
corps, permits the serving of these
dishes, chiefly whole wheat and oat-
meal, merely by adding water. The
cereals are cooked until they con-
tain no more than IL per cent mois-
ture. They are then packed in con-
tainers and sent to the far flung
outposts where by adding the wa
ter they are made as edible as the
freshly cooked dish.

FIND ATTIC STORAGE TOO HOT
FOR TEXTILES

An attic is additionally stor-
age place, but textile scientists of the
U. s. Department of Agriculture find
1t is not likely to be good storage,
since most attics get very hot in
summer. Heat, they find is bad for
stored fabrics. 1t is safer to store
idle linens, blankets and clothing
or lower. Because it would be cooler,
a large storage closet ON a lower
floor would cause less damage to
stored fabrics.
Woolens, OF course, should also
be protected from moths.
In a 4-year test, the textile scien-
lists found that both new and desiz-
ed cotton sheets and egreased wooden
samples deteriorated more when
stored at 1O2 degrees F. (about
equal to attic heat) than at room
temperature. Fabrics became weak
and tender, and cottons and linens
yellowed. The damage to linen be-
cause of hot-storage was not quite
so marked as for the other fabrics,
but there was some damage. The
changes in these fabrics after stor-
age for four, years were not great
enough to make the materials unser-
viceable.
Storage where light reaches the
fabric causes more chemical deter
ioration than storage in the dark.
Light damaged linen even more
than the higher temperatures did.
The investigators recommend stor-
ing any fabric articles in relative
ly cool, dark place.
