Qeatn occurred Jan. >, 1919 from
wounds received in action. He
attended the Caldwell schools,
graduated from GAINESVILLE and
prior to enlisting in the service,
attended two years at Delaware.
For his gallantry in action,
Sgt. Slenker was awarded the
Silver Star posthumously. 1t was
presented to his mother in an
impressive ceremony at Fort
HAYES, Columbus.
Maneuvering to within so
yards of the enemy, alone with
an automatic rifle, Sgt. Slenker
opened fire on the flank and al
though he was wounded by the
return fire, he continued to blaze
away until the entire group of
Germans blocking the way to his
platoon, surrendered.
He was serving with the Goth
(Yankee) Infantry Division and
was Company l, 328th Infantry,
assistant squad leader.
The advance of the men to the
right of him and to the left of
him was generally held up by
intense enemy small arms fire.
Instructing the men of his squad
to keep him covered with fire,
Sgt. Slenker moved out with an
automatic rifle by himself to the
Germans right flank. Here he
suddenly emerged from cover
and sprayed the entire area.
His move caught the Germans
by surprise and disrupted them.
In the confusion that followed
and while some of them came
forward to surrender, Sgt. Slenk-
er stopped firing to change mag
azines.. AS he did so, he was
struck and seriously wounded.
He continued to fire and covered
the area so effectively that the
remaining members of the enemy
group were forced to surrender.
Because of his action, the pla-
toons of his outfit were able to
pass through the dangerous area
without suffering a single cas-
ualty and to reach the company
objective ahead of schedule.
His death, from the wounds
received in this action, occurred
just five days later.
The veteran is survived by his
father, mother and one brother,
Norman Slenker, of Delaware,
in addition to the grandparents.

Big Eye to Answer
Queries of Science
Largest and Most Costly
telescope Will Probe
Secrets of Skies

MT. PALOMAR, CALF. - De-
scribed as the worlds largest and
most costly scientific instrument,
the $500. 600 Mt. Palomar observ-
atory telescope will begin scanning
the skies this spring.
The 200-inch mirror and telescope
comprising the "cosmic eye" Is
expected to: Peer one billion light
years out into space: determine
whether life exists on Mars; per-
haps set q time and date for
disintegration Of the sun: settle
whether there is an end to the uni.
verse or whether 1t is without be-
ginning or end. and study atoms In
the great heat Of the stars.
The public won't get chance to
see the huge telescope until some
time this summer.
The 5.n00-ton piece Of equipment
is so delicate that the number of
workmen and scientists who are
putting finishing details to It Is
limited. Otherwise an excess Of
body heat might disturb the tenn
perature inside the observatory.
Dome Opens 30 Feet
The 161s-ton. 200-inch glass mir
ror, moved from the California IN
stitute Of Technology to the Palo-
mar observatory last November,
now is in place in the 5.000-ton tele-
scope mounting.
The one million pound dome
opens to the width Of 30 feet. It
will be through this crack that the
"eye" will peer at the cosmos.
The big telescope will make snap
shots of the universe as far away
as a billion light years. twice the
distance that any previous tele-
scope has been able to pierce.
Photographs will be clear. not
the dull and blurry longtime ex-
posures customarily seen In OBJ
servatories.
Probe Secret Of Mars
Photographs may reveal whether
the canals and dark splotches on
Mars mean that life exists on that
distant planet.
Many scientists claim that Mars
is populated. Many others flatly
condemn the theory. The big eye"
Is expected to answer the problem.
Scientists know that the sun is
subject to violent convulsions that
may presage its disintegration and
death. Science wants to know
whether the end Of the sun will
mean that the earth will be burned
to a crisp or frozen solidly. The
big telescope may determine this.
The Palomar photographs also
will enable scientists to analyze
chemicals on the stars and planets,
and to show whether Venus cloudy
atmosphere contains life giving
oxygen or deadly carbon dioxide.

Pack of Seed Nets
Million Dollar Crop
Plant Immigrant Has
Typical Success Story

One package of seed sent home by
q missionary less than 30 years ago
has developed into crop now valued
at more than 200 million dollars a
year. That is the success story OF
plant immigrant - Korean lespe-
deza.
Only three decades ago DR.. Ralph
Mills, a medical missionary, sent
package Of lespedeza seed from
Korea to the U. S. department OF
agriculture. Department specialists
planted the seed at the experimental
farm across the Potomac river from
Washington. In few years there
was enough seed to plant lespedeZa
at several state experiment stations.
The imported crop fitted well on
the poor, slightly acid soils unfit for
such crops as alfalfa and soon was
being grown widely in the East Gen.
trail states as a seed and pasture
crop. Now its use is becoming more
widespread, particularly in areas of
low fertility land.
The U. S. crop of Korean lespe-
deza, developed directly from the
single package, now is valued at
more than 200 million dollars year.
Value of the seed crop amounts to
20 million dollars. The hay crop
makes up another 100 million dollars
of value. Although value of the pas
ture crop is difficult to estimate, spe-
cialists contend that it amounts to
at least 100 million dollars. These
figures do not take into account the
profitable use of millions of acres Of
low fertility land made possible by
introduction Of the new legume crop.
