INJURED TAUGHT |LAPIDARY SKILL |BY CALIFORNIAN
By ED BARLOW

United Press Stan C0rrespOnochtJ
 Van Nuys, Cal, June 19.-(UP}- Over in a corner of the occupationa! therapy room of Birmingham Gen. eral hospital stands a strange ma chine with strange nan1e-a lapi- dary.
 wounded American fighting mer are learning a pleasant and proflt able new trade through the design CT, builder and donator of the ma chine, Cassius W. Ferguson of Bur bank, Cal.
 Ferguson instructs these Men of the Purple Heart" in grinding. oatting and polishing precious and semi precious stones.
 Seated before the compact cab inet-like apparatus, a man with one arm can take inexpensive, rough cut stones and turn out finished products bringing many times their original cost.
 Fully Equipped The machine was designed espe- cially for use by handicapped per- sons,. Divided into two compart- ments and powered by small mo- tor, it carries full equipment of saving, cutting, grinding, polish ing and shaping the stones.
 While the device is a new version of lapidary, some of the tools are not. A 54-angle jam peg for facet cutting or beveling is of 5,000,- year old design. The pump drill, resembling a small crossbow, was used 10000 years ago in crude form. Ferguson's model is made of metal, with a diamond point drill in split tubing.
 Incidentally, the Chinese, who originated the first tools for stone cutting long before Christ, have or dered 50 of Ferguson's machines fort postwar delivery. They have also purchased American jade for export to the erstwhile Jade King dom."
 Before the war, Ferguson, ex- plained, all cutting and polishing was done in foreign countries by | cheap labor He believes a wide new field has been opened by com- bat for Americans.
 Ferguson can train anybody to operate the machines. Of course. he had a good start as trainer of the St. Louis zoos famed acting chimpanzees and other animals.
 Mrs. Ferguson converts stones and gems into jewelry, using silver pieces for mountings. She thinks wives of disabled servicemen can aid their husbands by fashioning and selling rings, pendants, brace lets, tie clasps, pins, lockets and earrings.
 All this work is done by hand. with the silver heated over small Bunsen burner and twisted or formed into proper shape to receive the stones.

Federal Authorities
 May Direct Abbatoir
City's Saughter-fiouse May Be Operated By Govern- ment During Present Emergency; "Style" Rules

that any slaughtering of more than
 Federal authorities have decreed 51 heads of army style" beef week | ly at the local abbatoir will result in the government assuming 55 per cent of the amount slaughtered over the 51 head-of any style beef, and at ceiling prices.
 Army Style"
 The difficulty, the city health of ficer stated, lies in the fact that army style beef cannot be deter mined as such, until the slaughter ing has taken place and the feder- al inspector has determined whe- ther or not it is included in that category.
 In other words, 45 heads may be killed at the abbatoir and deter mined as army style beef by the federal authority and six more might be killed later in the week, none of which or all of which might be that style beef, subject to ruling by the federal inspector. There is no way, apparently of determining whether stock is army-style beef or otherwise until it is dead.
 We are trying to hold our quotas below the 51 limit the health of- ficer said, but it is difficult to do, as is apparent"
 The federal decree does not pen- alize the abbatoir as to activities but does penalize the individual slaughterers who use the city fa- cility.
 ''Army-Style" beef has been de- fined as follows: "U. s. Good or U. s. Commercial grade weighing be- tween $50 and HOO pounds, dressed heifer carcasses of U. s. choice; U. s. Good or U. s. Commercial grade weighing between $50 and HOO pounds, dressed COW carcasses."
 New Regulations
 Should federal authorities assume conduct of the local abbatoir it will mean unlimited slaughtering here with all beef over the 51 heads sub ject to the 55 per cent set aside order of the government with pur- chases at ceiling prices.
 It would also mean various changes in the physical aspects of the abbatoir. The federal authori- ties would conduct the operations of the peace and the city would col- lect the fees. The decree applies to grade one abbatoirs the category of the city's
 The order affects steers, heifers and some co : carcasSes.
 It penalizes the daughters in that 5l head might be slaughtered among the stock of two or three slaughter CTS and then should the 51 be ex- ceeded by the slaughtering of 8 fourth slaughterers stock the lat ter's complete stock would be sub ject to the 55 per cent set-aside order. Or should the 5l head week ly quota be exceeded to all the re- maining slaughterer's are subject to the penalty.
 Dr.. Godfrey asserted today that every effort is being made to keep within the quota by means of daily slaughterin1 reports.
