Finland, Republic Since
1917, Is Known as Suomi

Suomi, or Suomermaa, is the
name by which 3,630,00O Firms
know their country, which became
an independent republic in 1917.
Prior to that year, the country was
a grandduchy of Russia with the
Russian emperor its grand duke.
During this period, however, it was
subject to it's own constitution.
It was about the end of the Sew
enth century or the beginning of
the Eighth that the Films took pos
session of the territory they now
own. At that period they lived in
separate, Independent communi-
ties and spent most of their time
annoying the shores of Sweden.
Their forays eliminated, in 1857,
in retaliatory invasion by Eric
TX, at which time the Firms were
vanquished and baptized into the
Christian faith.
The Swedish invasion precipitat-
ed conflict between that country
and Russia, which eliminated in
Russia's acquiring the whole of
Finland in 1909.

Find Vitamin G Aids in
Healing Broken Bones

Broken bones will not heal in the

slight deficiency slows the healing.

vestigated the healing rates of
broken bones in guinea pigs receiv-
ing graded doses of vitamin c.
They found that the bones did not
heal at all when the animals re-
ceived so little of the vitamin that
they developed scurvy. With a
somewhat larger dose of vitamin c
the animals had mild scurvy and
the bones healed very slowly. Mild
vitamin c deficiency, known as sub
clinical scurvy, also caused slower
bone healing than in the control ami
mails which had adequate amounts
of vitamin c in their food.
In addition, lack of this vitamin
caused the bones to become more
brittle and to break easier, the
scientists found. Bones of animals
which had mild cases of scurvy had
about two-thirds the strength of

WA Invents New
Cotton Sampling Device

Here's something new in the
sampling of cotton. Scientists in the
War Food administration have in
vented a device for getting better
samples of cotton and getting them
more cheaply.
At regular intervals during the
ginning Of bale Of cotton this device
takes a small but uniform amount
of cotton out of the stream that is
going into the bale. All these small
amounts of cotton taken together
make truly representative sample
of the bale. One of these uniform
samples can be used to show to
anyone who is interested in the bale
Of cotton.
The usual custom in the cotton
trade at the present time is to have
samples cut from the bale when
ever there is a prospective change
in ownership of the cotton. That. of
course, means that after few sales
that the bale is disfgured and some
of the cotton is lost.
Besides that, such samples FREE
quently are not truly representative
of the contents of the bale. Unless
the cotton is exceptionally uniform,
the sample may be cut from the
poorer parts of the bale, or it may
be cut from the better cotton in the
bale. -.

LIGHT

All through the centuries of time
That man has been on earth;
He's seen light slowly dawn and
break
Has seen its gentle birth.
He's seen its rays illumine forms
Throughout the passing years;
Dispensing darkness from it's path,
And scattering old fears.
He's CROPPED and stumbled toward
the light,
With bIunder and mistake.
He's watched with eagerness it fall
Der forest, field and lake.
And slowly, slowly, has this light
Made evil disappear.
Before it ignorance has gone
And superstition drear.
Before it there have been dispelled
Wrong and mistaken thought,
Absurd ideas, backward trend
Has been reduced to nought.
All through the centuries the light
Has shown to peering man
The wonders of the universe
The way of Gods great plan.
1t is a light that may be seen
By those whose eyes are blind,
The light of His intelligence
Shed through the human mind.
And though dark clouds may some
times come,
To dim its splendor bright,
They must all go, while man moves
on
To progress and more light.

THE City OF Trembling
Leaves, by Walter Van Tilb1rg
Clark, Random House, 1945.
The actual locale of this new
novel by the author of THE Ok
Bow Incident" is Reno, New, but
its spiritual domain is in youth
everywhere and the ever-young
dream of creative fulfillment. 1t
tells the story OF Tim Hazard,
who struggles through the costa
sizes and torments of his boyhood
and youth to find himself, ulti-
mately, as composer ard man.
II is also the story Of many 9TH
ers, simple and fabulous and fam
liar and exciting people, who are
part Of our own lives. 1t is the
story of young love in all it
intensity. But above all, it is (
story sensiugely and dramatic
ally and lavishly told of a worlt
and a time which everyone re
calls with an aching memory.
THE City of Trembling
Leaves, is a sharp departure in
form and spirit from Mr. Clark
first novel. 1t is a more ambi-
tious work and of even wider
appeal, and it should commane
the most serious critical atten-
lion as well as the enthusiastic
praise Of the reading public.
