II NOW WHAT a roundle Is?
N Or a fess? or a satire?
How about gules. purpure,
golpe and bezant?
Double-talk? Not a bit.
Actually those are perfectly
good words, uncommon, to be
sure, but used every day In
the normal course of business
by Arthur E. Du Bois and
others who understand about
such things as insignia. coats
of-arms and crestS.
AS chief Of the Heraldic
Branch of the Office of the
Quartermaster General, Mr..
Du Bots, a civilian, Is con-
cerned with the design and
manufacture of shoulder and
lapel insignia, decorations,
badges and medals for the
armed forces, for the Navy
as well as the Army and Air
Force. Most of the unit in
sigma. the shoulder flashes
and other identifying en-
blems of American soldiery
that frightened the cities, vii
lagos and kraals of the world
in World War II were either
his brainchild or the creation
of his staff. And even those
that didn't originate in his
Office had to get his okay.
Mr.. Du Bots has been occu-
pied with military emblems
in the OQMG for almost
% years. He is so highly re-
garded as an expert on the
subject that he is called on to
write for seven encyclopedias.
One article took him three
years of research and writing
to prepare. Once he became
interested in types of crosses.
He began research and, be-
fore he got through, discov-
cred approximately 1000 diff
ferent types of crosses and
became an authority on the
subject.

volumes on the history of

forces-a veritable storehouse
of information from which
Mr.. Du Bois is called upon
from time to time to Gull bits
for military people. For in
stance, he received a phone
call one day from a man who
wanted to know the sex of
Americas national bird. From
a reading Of the Act of Con-
gress of June 20, 1882, author
tzing the Great Seal of the
United States, Mr.. Du Bois
deduced that the eagle was
male, and he SO informed the
questioner.
The symbolism of crests,
escutcheons, coats of arms
and military insignia may be
so much mumbo Jumbo to the
average person. but Mr.. Du
Bois holds that there is a
certain amount of that SYM
bolism in every ones daily
life.
Language itself Is a SYM
biology" he says. Everything
we do partakes of the SYM
bolic. If you hear or think
something and then seek to
write it down, the very letters
and words you put down are
Symbols combination of
hieroglyphics that mean some
thing to others.
"A streetcar pass Is q SYM
Dol that you are entitled to
ride on a streetcar or bus.
Your auto license plate is an
identifying symbol, compar-
able to the coat-of -arms on
the shield of a knight of old.
You can't get away from it."
When Mr.. Du Bois and his
staff set out to achieve a de-
sign for some insigne or
medal they demand certain
attributes in that design: D
Is it clearly visible? (2) Has
1t historical continuity as to
the military unit concerned?
90 Is it distinctive; that is,
is it dissimilar from any other
emblem in existence? And
~ what are the production
problems entailed in that par
ticular design?
As to the last the produc-
ton of embroidered shoulder
insignia, for instance. might
be limited by too intricate a
design. One machine can
make 10000 stitches a day.
If a design requires 1920
stitches, as one design did,
that insigne will take con-
siderable time to turn out in
quantity. Also. an effort is
made to avoid too many
colors, since the changing of
needles for each color puts
the machine out of action for
hours.
Mr.. Du Bois has been in
research long enough to be-
come a stickler for nomen-
clature. One of the things

Bank Loans for Sheep
Drop, Cattle Rise

LOANS FOR CROP production
and general purpose farming fl
nanced through the Federal Interme-
date Credit bank Of Spokane in 1947
we're almost 300 percent of loans for
the same purpose in 1941, W. E.
Meyer, bank president, points out in
reviewing loan trends and progress
of the bank during its 25 years of
service to northwest agriculture.
During its Is years of operation
the bank has closed loans and dis
counts in excess of 81, 100, 900 900. Of
this total Montana financing institu-
tons using the banks services had,
UP to Dec. 81, 1947, used 1927 ,947,-
621. Feeder and range sheep ac-
counted for SOB, 054, $50 of the Mon
tana total; range and feeder cattle,
SOS, 1852, 500; dairy cattle, $1,315,802,
and crop production and general
purpose farming, $38, 1908.
While the trend has been upward
for most commodities financed by
the bank in the last seven years,
Meyers report which covers opera
tons in the four states of Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and Washington,
reveals that the financing of sheep
dropped from S18,578,212 in 1941 to
$11,487, 1884 in 1947. This, he ex-
plains, indicates the decrease in
sheep population in the northwest.
From the districtwide standpoint
cattle loans increased from l 2,554,-
SOC in 1941 to $17,353,701 in 1947;
dairy cattle from $780, 700 to ST.

Proper Conservation, Fire Control
Vital Factor In Growth Of Forests

ing Of those who do not think,
for 1t must be remembered that
Just about everything is an enemy
to reforestation and forest con-
servation efforts. A hundred
acres of pine seedlings planted,
either by hand or a tree plant
ing machine at heavy expense
today, can easily be destroyed
with one match tomorrow.
Whether or not the present drain
on u forest is greater than the
growth, I will leave to techni-
clans. l do say, however, that II
proper cutting practices were fol-
lowed, and il fire and other ene-
mics TO the forest were controlled

Of Vii wood using industries
could consume them.
In talking forestry here and
there / hear a great deal Of err
ticism about the vast number of
small trees that are being cut. It
is true that a vast number of
small trees are being cut, but IL
properly cut then this is simply
practical forestry. In the first
place, trees. just like any other
crop, have to be harvested in
order to be converted into a
commercial commodity. In the
second place, the word conserva-
ton, whether applied to trees or
some other product, does not
mean to retain or hold just to
look at and possess, but rather
to use wisely; to conserve; to re-
plenish and to restore. Trees,
however, must be grown and har-
vested in a manner that will per-
petuate the forest. Grow them and
cut them properly, and keep some
more coming on to take the place
OF those cut.

Old L%etterdrops in
Small Towns Are
On Their Way Out

WASHINGTON. - The old-fash-

joy Of small town Americans, is on
its way out. In its stead is coming
a strictly modern device that takes
half the fun out of mailing a letter.
This wouldn't have happened II
Gilbert Stanley Underwood hadn't
visited the Herkimer, N. Y, postof-
fee.
Underwood is chief architect for
the public buildings administration,
which designs and builds federal
buildings, including postoffices. He
gave a reporter this description of
what went on at Herkimer:
THE mail had just arrived, and
the clerks had started to sort it.
Many townspeople were waiting to
get the mail from their boxes.
Everyone seemed to know every
n else. They seemed to know the
clerks, too. For one nan after
another would step up to the letter.

through, recognize the pants of the
nearest clerk and say:
Hey, Joe. give me my mail-I'm
in a hurry"
II never imagined the letterdrop
would be put to such use," Under
wood said in amazement.
So back in Washington, Under
wood designed a letterdrop so cum
ningly beveled on the inside as to
cut off the view entirely.
And no letter can overshoot the
mail box, no matter how hard it is
popped into the slot. Each letter
just slides upward over the beveled
surface, kerplunk into the container.
You'll find nonpeek letterdrops in
all new postoffices, and Underwood
said they'll gradually replace the old
slots in the other buildings.
The Herkimer letterdrop?
It's still there, but the clerks have
covered it with canvas-to prevent
peeping and to keep letters from
sailing through the air.

Animal Skin Disease Costly

Livestock producers and the con-
Stunning public are paying a multi
million dollar tribute every year
to bugs" that thrive on animal
hides. An outbreak Of mango in
fattening steers, cattle grub infes-
tation, or a barbed-wire cut in an
animal may seem unimportant to
the man on the street-yet, un-
he foots the bill for
such mishaps every time he buys
a pair of shoes or other articles
made of leather. Simple injuries or
scratches produce permanent de-
fects that lower the value Of animal
hides. Many times such minor in
are invaded by 6isease-pro-
germs, resulting in still
greater deterioration Of the hides.
