WHAT'S NEW?
(In Cleveland)
BASEBALL

THINGS have suddenly become all
fouled up in the st. George CWV
Softball League. Things were real
ly going smoothly at the begin
ming of the season. Suddenly all
has gone blaah! Umpires fail to
show up for scheduled games. Some
of the players belly-ache about the
field. They raise cane with Joey
Prank as if he were the official
ground keeper. Now, some of the
teams have acquired new players
- after the season is nearly half
over. The sudden presence of sharp
pitchers is most noticeable. What's
coming off = and what happened
to the rules that were agreed upon
at the beginning of the season? /? I?
Lasnik's gained first place in
edging the Mermaid Club 4--3. Joe
Guzauskas smacked two homers for
the winners.
Dunbar's snapped out of their
losing streak when they beat Paul's
81 and then came back to beat
Joe's Bar 90. Mermaid beat Su-
kys 13-11, and Joe's Bar beat the
Trees Bar outfit 14-7 in a game
without an official umpire.
The schedule for next week:
Mon.--Paul & Eds VS.. Trees Bar
Tues. Sukys' VS.. Lasnik's.
Wed. Trees VS.. Dunbar's.

LAKE COUNTY CANNING
CENTER OPENED

Last Monday the Lake Coun-
ty Canning Center located at
11O7 Lincoln St., North Chica-
go, opened for the fifth year.
At present the Center will
be open on Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday of each
week. During the peak of the
season the Center will be open
every day.
Mrs. Emmett McShane, the
director, stated that she will
extend every effort to sched-
ule patrons at time conven-
lent to them.
Many persons in Zion have
taken advantage of this splen-
did service furnished by the
County during the past years.
Qualified instructors oper-
ate all of the mechanical
equipment.
Patrons are asked to bring
their fresh produce to the CEN
ter, and to stay only until they
have prepared the food, filled
the cans and marked them
with given number. They
may call later when the pro-
cessing has been completed.
This procedure will save con-
siderable time.
Even though the season had
a slow start the Center expects
to process as much as was can
ned last year, namely 145,977
cans.

Laid In Denmark
HatChed InU. s..

At one point during the German
occupation of Denmark the stock
of poultry was reduced to a third
of what it was in 1889. But de-
spite this wholesale killing off. it
was possible to maintain the good
breeding flocks. Consequently,
Denmark hopes not only to recov-
er rapidly her former position in
the ranks of the egg-eXporting
countries, but to be able to assist
in building up the poultry flocks
of other countries.
With rapid means of communi-
cation it is possible to send hatch
ing eggs over very large distances
For example, on May 5, 1916.
Matching eggs We're dispatched by
one of the transport planes of the
American Overseas Airlines from
Copenhagen to New York. Three
days later the eggs were received
on a poultry farm north of New
York, and on May So American
chicks came out of eggs laid over
1000 miles away.
1t began with a request to the
American Minister IN Copenhagen
Mr.. Josiah Marvel Jr., to forward
some Danish Matching eggs to the
then American Secretary of Com
merce, Mr.. Henry Wallace, for his
model poultry farm at South Sa-
lem, north of New York. The
United States Minister applied to
the Danish Agricultural Council.
He wished to have some Brown
Leghorns, and with the help of Mr..
w. o. Kock, Adviser to the Danish
Government on poultry breeding,
the eggs were procured from Mr..
Ejnar Nielsen, of Langstrup near
Fredensborg North zealand)
whose breeding center has
achieved some of the best results
with Brown Leghorns. This breed
which is distinguished by heavy
laying and good size of egg. is
greatly appreciated in Denmark

New Danish
Wins Praise
BY DIR. Einar Andersen, DISC.
Chief, Division 1. of the Royal
Danish GeOdetic Institute

A work will shortly be pub
lished in Denmark entitled Dan
ish Scientific Activities during the
Second World War" Under the
subject of Geodesy is a brief de-
scription of Danish gravimeter
constructed by DR.. Gunnar Nor
saard. Behind the few lines de-
voted to it are the results of IS
years intensive work in design
ing a Danish gravimeter to COM
pete with the best of foreign
manufacture.
What is a gravimeter The
name is used to describe an in
strument for measuring gravity.
But what is the use of such
measurements some people may
ask. And is the instrument more
than clever scientific toy? The
answer is that the gravimeter is
the realization of the dream of
OWNERS rod with which to locate
the natural riches of the earth.
Gravity is not equally intensive
in all parts of the earth's surface
1T is greatest at the Poles and
least at the Equator; it is greater
in a valley that at the summit of
an adjacent mountain. These fluc-
tuations are subject to definite
laws, but they also depend on the
substances to be found under the
earth and most of all in the strata
directly under the place being
measured. That is to say, sub
stances which are either very
heavy or very light and accord
ingly deviate most from the av-
erage specific gravity of the
earth's sub-strata, will exert the
greatest influence on the intensity
of gravity. The differences involved
are not very great, which is all
the more reason for finer accuracy
in the instrument with which it is
hoped to measure them.
Extreme accuracy is required to
trace such valuable materials in
the sub-soil as oil, salt, and metals
Hence, DR.. Norgaards' gravimete-
is not only of Importance to Sci
ence: it has great practical sig
nificance. This has been shown by
results alread y achieved in
Sweden.

identified by number. and every
egg is stamped with these two
numbers. In case of complaint
every egg can thus be traced back
to the producer. There were. in
1887. about 800 egg circles in Den
mark with a total membership of
about $4,000.
The cooperative bacon factories
exported eggs for 9 million kro-
ner. The private egg export firms,
which must be authorized by the
Ministry of Agriculture. account
for about rs per cent of the egg
export.
The Government Control Service
controlling the dairy products also
controls the export eggs in regard
to quality. grading, marking and
packing. The eggs are examined
by Gambling.

Sixty Churches
Note Emanuel
Day

PORTLAND, Ore.-On January

AS early as September IA. 1909,
Pastor c. ]. Renhard, together
with one other pastor and six
laymen, met ''for the purpose of
organizing themselves into a hos

A. l.. Morland, the present retir-

and Frank o. Carlson.
For two and a half years these
nine men, who together with three
others later became the charter
hospital board, met. labored,
prayed, and planned for the reali-
cation of their dream-the Eman-
uel Hospital.
In rented quarters located on the
present site of the Medical Arts
Building. actual hospital activities
were begun on January %, 1912
Here, in an unsuitable building
with a 2S-bed capacity, Pastor
Renhard. the hospitals first ad-
ministrator, together with a faith
full staff of doctors and deacon
esses, labored untiringly and sue
cessfully in spite of the handicap
of inadequate facilities and equip
ment. For want of an elevator.
for example, Pastor Renard often
served in that capacity. carrying
the patients up and down the
stairs On his back.
218,OO0 Patients
Since the construction of the
first unit on the present hospital
site in 1915. one building after the
other has been erected, until the
hospital now has a plant valued
at million and a half. The hos
pital has enjoyed an equal growth
in equipment, staff personnel, as
we'll as the number of patients adj
mitted.
During these 35 years of service.
Emanuel has admitted 217,S22 pa

The total days of care given these
patients number 2,343,145 days or
the equivalent of 6,419 years.
