tainers" for light-sensitive chemicals.
These chemicals, combinations of silver
and various other things, were first
noticed by alchemists back in the 18th
century For long time after practical
photography was launched four centuries
later, silver compounds got all the credit
for picture making.
But photographers noticed that film
quality varied widely and the geletins
were suspected. DR.. Sheppard found the
jelies contained various types of sulphur
compounds which had important effects
upon the silver. That's where the cows
lunch came in, because it was learned
that the wild mustard and other sui
phur-containing plants bossy ate were
the source of the various sulphurs that
found their way into the hide from
which gelatin is made.

Potomac Boat Club members turned
out early this month for the annual

asm shown, the club is in for big year.
The same is true at Capital and Co

are making plans for big year.

also is large, but here again dealers can

Quality of Care

health and welfare services are needed
to the end that such services will be
everywhere available to ALL
This is a condition far from true
today" Miss Lenroot says, pointing out
the wide disparity in health services.
Similarly, children in special need,
such as those who must be cared for
away from their own homes, those in
conflict with the law, those who are
mentally handicapped and others in
difficulty, fare well or ill depending
largely upon where they live"
These inequalities in terms of chill

Miles River Yacht Club on the East
ern Shore, and Solomons Island Yacht
Club on the Patuxent River are making
plans for both sail and power events.
Interest in the renewal of yachting s
classic, the Newport Bermuda race late
in June, has been aroused among Wash
ington yachtsmen with the disclosure
that two boats are entered from this
area. They are DR.. Valentine Hess
Fawn, 67-foot staysail schooner which
will fly the Capital Yacht Club flag, and
John Graham, jr.s, Maruf1a, 69-foot
yawl flying the Annapolis Yacht Club
burgee. Both are residents of Washing
ton.
For DR.. Hess, feet surgeon at Capital,
it will be his first sailing event. He has
been owner of several trim motor craft
in the past For the 23-year-old schoon-
er, however, it will not be her first Ber-
muda race. AS the Avenir she placed
high amoung the contestants in the
1920s. The boat now is being readied
for the trip to Newport at her Capital
Yacht Club berth. DR.. Hess expects to
sign up a crew from this area.
Maruffa, built In the 1930s, will be
sailing the blue-water event for the first
time, as the yacht has been operating on
the Great Lakes until Graham pur-
chased her. The skipper, however, has
been sailing since he was years old
and this is his 23d boat. He and his
father are well-known yachtsmen on
Puget Sound.
Four of his former racing crew on the
West Coast are coming east for the
event, which starts June % of Brenton
Reef Lightship. From Bermuda Ma
ruffa will continue through the Panama
Canal to Seattle. The yacht is now be-
ing put In commission at the Davis Ship

going into production of craft in the
moderate price field.
For many, it's the final realization of
lifetime urge-to get away from it all
on boat of their own.
1t it were customary in yachting
circles, clubs would be hanging out
standing room only signs. That un-
fortunately, is the situation. There is
just enough room for all the people
who would like to join a club in the
Washington area. New yacht basins
projected for the local waterfront can't
come soon enough for some harassed
club officials.
They are turning down applications
regularly, and have built up impressive
waiting lists.
Capital sailors busy for weeks getting
their craft in commission, begin their
annual spring series of races off Hams
Point this afternoon, under auspices of
Potomac River Sailing Association. The
group held warmup race last Sunday

THERE is great stirring along
waterfronts the length and
breadth of Chesapeake Bay and
its tributaries, but nowhere are
the signs of a big revival of boating
more obvious than in Washington.
1t was those spring-like days in March
that brought old-timers back to their
familiar haunts from Georgetown to
Alexandria. And now that spring is
full blown, fitting out operations are
about to hit their peak. Many yachts
men, because of war service, are coming
back to their yachts for the first time
since 1941.
Those who sold their boats before they
went to war are ruing the day, because
boats, new or used, are scarce and supply

demand for at least year.

Sleeping Sea Dogs
BY A. A. Hoehling.

~LosE by the green banks Of the
James River, just after 1t winds
~ past Newport News and the ship
yards, rest some 275 war-weary
freighters, passenger ships and tankers.
Amounted inside and out with heavy
preservative oil, they sleep in tram
quillity, disturbed only by the footsteps
of caretakers who come at intervals to
tap the winches or inspect the engines
Unlike similar fleets from the First
World War. most of them are by no
means ghost ships. 1t is no "boneyard
fleet" AS the Maritime Commission
calls it. it IS Temporary Reserve Fleet,
comparable to the large reserve of fight
ing ships maintained by the Navy.
These ships. by and large, are sleeping
dogs. They await only the masters
white and prod and they will be off
again to pursuits which may be either
peaceful or warlike.
One famouf World War transport re-
ceived such a call at the beginning of
the last war to leave her resting place at
Solomons Island, Md. She is the trans
port S. S, George Washington, which
took PresidXnt Wilson to the Versailles
Conference.
She returned from the vale of oblivion
to repeat her war service, but she was
exceptional. Few of the old ladies of
the sea of the earlier war delivered an
encore.
Today, the addition of a merchant
ship to the Temporary Reserve Fleet
does not necessarily mean that it Is fin
lshed-like last seasons Easter hat Some
ships have already gone into reserve and
out again. Operational use may be found
for the ship by the Government or it
may be sold. 1t may be placed in the
category of ships essential for national
defense.
Retirement of Tanker
Typical of Ships Fate
The recent voyage from New York
to the James River of the 16,375-ton

typical of the machinery attendant to
placing vessel in sanctuary. She was

a steward.

gun tubs were left intact, however, and
some Navy warehouse has her guns

In accordance with regulations the
tanker was stripped of all furnishings.
All machinery, even that necessary to
provide electric lights, was stilled. Only
few days food was available.
Except for one, all lifeboats and de-
barkation ladders had been unshipped
and slowed between decks. Ballast had
been removed, matches were closed and
secured with tarpaulins and sanitary
and kitchen fixtures had been filled
with kerosene to guard against corro-
sion.
Foodstuffs were transferred to other
vessels in operation or stored In War
Shipping Administration warehouses.
Some of it might have been declared
surplus.
Ocean Tug Tows
Ship to Destination
Then one morning a few weeks ago
the tug Trinidad Head arrived at the
Mission San Luis Rey's slip. 1t was one
OF the 195-foot ocean-going tugs the
Maritime Commission built during the
war, largely for salvaging ships dam
aged by storms or enemy action. This
one had been in the Normandy invasion.
Sandy Hook pilot came aboard
and the tug, with her ponderous cargo
in tow, started through the Narrows
and Lower New York Bay. The 2-inch
steel hawser was played out until nearly
all of 1t was below the surface of the
water and the tanker more than half
a mile astern.
After two days of smooth sailing
the Trinidad Head, which had hauled
her heavy. charge at speed of six
and seven knots all the way to Cape
Henry, pulled the Mission San Luis
Rey through Hampton Roads.

scheduled to be resumed in September
for the first time since the war. In
addition to the spring series of IL races,
the group hopes to renew its Memorial
Day race at Gunston Cove, Va, and to
again hold fall series, right after the
power events of the cup regatta.
Between June and September, many
sailors will return to the prewar practice
OF heading for Chesapeake Bay and its
many regattas. Annapolis, West River
and Gibson Island will be their bay
stations. 1t is because of the heavy
schedule on the bay that officials have
decided not to sponsor a summer series
IN Washington, as was the custom dur
ing the war.
While it is still little early for details,
the Presidents Cup Regatta Association
has big plans for its two week-ends in
September. General Chairman H. Au-
brey Bogley is busy lining up his COM
mittees and, much to his satisfaction
is rounding up large number of old

The Childrens Bureau points out that
half the children live in 80 States that
altogether have only one-third Of the
national income.
Farm families, the bureau adds, are
responsible for the support of almost
a third of the Nations children but must
do it on only little more than one
tenth Of the national income.
In 1941, three-fifths of the Nations
children were in families that had in
comes of less than $2,100 year.
Observing these facts, Miss Lenroot
also brings out the grave disadvantage"
suffered by children in certain racial
minority and nationality groups.
She says the families of many of these
are without adequate incomes for their
support and that they are living in
communities that lack the necessary
services for their health, education and
welfare.

Photographic Magic
BY William Glover,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.
ROCHESTER. N. !

ROCHESTER, N. Y.
"H1S is the story OF how a cows
lunch extended the scope of
Il photography and helped double
the size of the universe.
1t also is the story of the cloth
that vanished in bottle, of the fish
oil that lost its taste and of many
other things. -.
Each of these seemingly incongruous
and unrelated events took place in an
other of the many mints where the
Nations secret wealth" of scientific re-
sourcefulness is created, stored up and
applied in amazing variety-industrial
research laboratories
At the start there was only desire to
make better photographs. In the con-
tinuing pursuit of this objective, the
discoveries and fields Of exploration so
widened and multiplied in the research
laboratory of Eastman Kodak Co. that
today long red brick building is needed
to provide room for expeditions in the
shadow land of things that man doesn't
know.
Research at Eastman is different in
one important aspect from most other
laboratory work because, in addition to
the ordinary sciences of chemistry and
physics, the scientists here have to work
with factor called the Photographic
effect.
Odd Antics of Film
Call for Deep Study
For example, they could reasonably
expect that photograph obtained by
exposing particular film to an intense
light for a brief time would have the
same quality as one obtained after an
extended exposure to relatively weaker
light-but Photographic tests disclosed
important variations. In another in
stance, because of certain still incom-
pletely understood reactions, some emul-
sions first register like an ordinary mega
tive, then reverse and appear as posi-
tive, and so on through several cycles.
Research has carried the Eastman
organization into such fields foreign to
photography as textiles, plastics. dyes
and foods. since it got strong toehold
In 1889 by developing the first flexible
film for cameras.

"HE Nation this week is focusing

at least one improvement in community
health services which will contribute to
the better health of children"
Steps Outlined to Give
Service to Children
Katharine F. Lenroot, chief of the
Children's Bureau, which helps the
States carry out these services, suggests
these steps that communities can take
in meeting their responsibilities:
1. Housing fit for children.

Cows Lunch Credited
With Improved Photos

ILLS uetel HlllldllOH OF tne role OF
sulphur revised the basic theories of
photography and enabled film manufac-
turers to stabilize the quality of gelatins.
That is why the COW and her lunch can
be credited with an assist in the devel-
opment few years ago of a film which
enabled the great Mount Wilson 100
inch telescope to explore twice as far
into the heavens, and thereby double
mans universe.
Taking on a different line of pure
research, DR.. K. c. D. Hickman wanted
to improve film supports, the transpar-
ent strips on which the ight-sensitive
emulsions of gelatin and silver salts are
placed. Subjecting these supports to
drying in ever higher vacuums, he was
able to distill substances previously
classed as undistillable. 1t occurred to
him to try cod liver oil. and he found he
had produced a high concentrate Of
vitamins A and D. Thus he could sepa-
rate the taste and odor factors from the
high nutritive content. The same tech
snique was later applied to concentrating
other vitamins
Eastman and General Mills together
formed a new concern which became the
main supply for vitamin A and much of
the vitamin E which today are added to
enrich foods. Dr. Hickman's methods Of
overcoming natures well-known dislike
for vacuum were applied with notable
results in other fields of industry far
removed from photography.
