MENU. In THESE Gays Wnen we
read of the nice, juicy dividends
being paid by various corporal
ions, it may be of interest to
know Of what is probably the
SMALLEST dividend ever paid.
Some years ago a Judge Hanna
decreed that creditors of a certain
estate of which there was left only
SLIGO to satisfy claims amounting
to $8,3O5-28, should be paid.
They were, too. Each creditor re-
ceived exactly TWO MILLS. One
mill, as you know, is 1 10th of a
CENT and the only way so small
an amount could be paid was by
CHECK.
1T DOES AND 1T DOESN'T
We all know that sunlight causes
fires at times but did you know
! that it is also possible to PUT
OUT fires with sunlight? The
rays of the sun can be focused
and will SLOW UP combustion
of the flame by making the air
LESS DENSE and lessening the
amount of OXYGEN needed to
make a good flame.

l just got back from New York
or the Big Apple as it is called
in the vernacular. The town is still
as grand and glamorous as always.
AS l have said in this column be-
fore, be sure and visit New York.
1t is a real experience. 1t is a
city Of striking contrasts. If you
have something in your home town
that's big, New York has some
thing twice as big. l should sey
three times.
Here, the swank rubs shoulders
with the slums and New York
has some terrific slums. Better
than anything that you or l can
boast from our home towns. Here,
you find people from all w the
world and from all over America,
white people, black people and
brown people all mixed up to-
gether just as they should be.
1 seldom feel that l am a Ne
gro, a marked person, when l

70 Arts bazaar on 125th street. 1t
is a unique business and cultural
venture organized by our own
Eta Moten Garrett, the charming
and talented contralto Mrs. Coun-
tee Cullen, wife of the late cele-
brated poet, and Mrs. Estelle Mas
sey Osborne, prominent New York
Civic and social leader.
The affable painter Samuel
Countee guided me through the
lovely shop and gallery. Featured
were the arts and crafts Of Neg
70 artisans not only in Africa but
in our own country. l saw afri-
can masks, sculptures, textiles, Be-
min bronzes, jewelry, ceramics and
hand made leather goods. Mrs.
Cullen stated that the presence of
the shop and galleries in the Ne
gro community had given the Ne
gro people a new ems of pride
and warren of the artistic ac-
complishments of the Negro
people.

had but one reported commercial
mineral mixture on the market con-
tanning more than 10 percent phos-
phorus. There are now at least 3
commercial mineral mixtures on the
market containing Is and 16 per-
cent phosphorus.
Montana fe d manufacturers
have taken the lead in getting the
phosphorus content of mineral mix
lures up to satisfactory level.
Trace Minerals
We hear a lot in this day and age
about trace minerals. The trace.
minerals include such minerals as
copper, cobalt, manganese, zinc and
iodine. They are referred to as
trace minerals because they are
present and are required only in
minute amounts. For example, the
requirement of cobalt for sheep and
cattle is somewhere around l part
in 100000. In other words, OIL of
a pound of cobalt in 100000
pounds of feed would meet the re-
quirements.
Without going into detailed dis
cussion Of the trace minerals it
should be pointed out that we yet
have no adequate reliable informal
ton indicating trace mineral def
ciencies, other than iodine, in the
state of Montana. On the other
hand, we yet have no information
indicating adequate amounts of
trace minerals in our natural feeds
under all conditions.
Many of the commercial mineral
mixtures as well as the commercial
concentrates are now fortified with
trace minerals. This is a good pol
icy to insure against possible trace
mineral deficiencies. However, no
operator should pay high premium
for this insurance because trace min
erals are not expensive. One should
not depend upon the trace minerals
to cure any or all abnormalities.

not satisfactory. In those areas,
unless it is feasible to add solu-
able phosphate to the water supply,
an operators best bet is one of the
high phosphorus palatable CONNER
cial mixtures.
The feeding of protein and/or
concentrate pellets fortified
with phosphorus for winter
supplement. is one of the surest
and most reliable methods of in
surfing adequate phosphorus in
take in phosphorus deficient
areas. IF range pellet contains

the rate of l pound per head
per day. AS grams of phos-
phorus would be supplied daily.
Il pound equals asa grams).
Many of the feed manufacturers
will fortifY range pellet TO the
desired phosphorus levels.
Straight cottonseed meal contains
about 1.20 percent of phosphorus;
inseed meal about OBS percent, and
soybean meal, 0.66 percent. Rape
seed meal, of which there is now
some produced in the state, contains
about 10 percent phosphorus also.
At prices recently quoted by Mon
tana feed manufacturers, 0.5 percent
of phosphorus can be added to range
pellets at a price that will increase
the cost per cow only about 5000
per head for the wintering period
assuming pound per head per day
of supplement is fed. This is indeed
a small investment to insure ade-
quate phosphorus.
Commercial Mineral Mixtures
In order to insure adequate phos-
phorus consumption to prevent any
borderline cases, it is generally con-
sidered that the mineral supplement
for supplementing phosphorus def
Gent areas should contain at least
10 percent phosphorus. In 1948, we

On Coins
By Ted Hummer

LibForion. American Numismote Association
A Des Moines high school stu
dent wants to know whether there
is special" way to handle coins
and medals in collections.
II am asking because I was
scolded by a collector after I ap-
parently got a thumbprint on one
Of his commemorative half dol
lars" the student wrote.
Persons handling an uncircu-
lated, proof or extremely fine coin
or medal should hold it with the
edges between the thumb and in
dex finger. They should be care
full not to touch any portion but
the edges. Many collectors are so
particular about this that they
warn the inexperienced person
looking over collections. They
point out that acid in perspira-
ton on ones hands may smudge
or damage rare coin.
Many coins in collections never
have been in circulation and a
large number may be found as
bright and new as when minted.
Coins centuries old are still seen
in new" condition due to the
care given them. On the other
hand. a person holding a newly
minted coin needs only to press
a thumb or finger on it to notice
what happens. The print may
remain there indefinitely and the
mint luster disappears at once.
A proof coin is one with a mir
ror-like surface. struck at the
Philadelphia mint especially for
collectors. Such a coin Is never
handled except by the edges. An
extremely fine coin is one that
may never have been in circula-
ton, but it is not bright and new
in appearance-perhaps because
some one touched it carelessly.

Students S Interest in Reptiles
Wins School Science Medal
By Edward A. Greene

Jack Deane, 17-year-old De
Matha High School student, whose
hobby for the past II years has
been animals in general and rep
tiles in particular, won the schools
1850 science medal for the highest
scholastic average in biology.
He did it with a So average,
which was higher than any of the
other boys in his class. There
was plenty of competition. said
his teacher, the Rev. Michael NAL
10y. "but Jack was outstanding.
In fact, Father Malloy went on,
Jack took over his biology class
for two days and held the boys
attention while he lectured on
and displayed live specimens of
turtles and snakes he himself cap
tured In the Anacostia River near
his home at 3704 Thirty seventh
street in Cottage City.
Jacks mother said: Hes Just
an average student who takes a
great interest in his biology. In
fact. I think sometimes he spends
too much time on this and not
enough on his other subjects" but,
she quickly added, I'm glad to see
him do so well in the subject he
likes best"
Right now Jack wants to grad
uate from high school so he can
continue studying about animals
in college. After this, he says he
would like to raise snakes, alliga-
tors and other reptiles and sell
their hides, poisons and by
products commercially.

The great volcano known as
Ma1na Loa recently began one of
the longest eruptions in its his
tory. Besides the central opening
there are other craters along the
sides of the mountain, and these
have been given special names.
Most famous among them is the
mighty Kilauea crater, or volcano
which explodes when other craters
on the mountain are quiet.
Kilauea has far larger crater
than Mount Vesuvius. 1t is, in
deed, the largest crater of any ac-
tive volcano on earth. It is 8
miles long and 2 miles wide and
has a rim which rises from 200

BIodensburg Story

Biodsnsbura Elementary School

Cub Den 4 of Bladensburg Troop
262 took a trip to learn something
about the history of old Bladens-
burg. They found it was settled
about 1740 and that it was a busy
port on the Anacostia River, ship
ping -four and tobacco. We also
discovered that it took its name
from William Blsden.
Bladensburg Academy was one
of the first schools and it was later
torn down and replaced by a
three-room school that burned in
1925. I attend the third such
school to be built here.
Near the school is an Episcopal
Church founded in 1874. Another
church built in 1918 was the first
Presbyterian Church in Prince
Georges County. There are some
houses still here that are over
200 years old. One of them is
the Bostwick House, built in 1746.
Gen. Lafayette was entertained
here in 1924. Another house is
the Market Masters House and is
supposed to be built of stone
brought in ships as ballast. The
Ross House was built by DIR. David
Ross. an officer in the French and
Indian War. The Magruder House
was built in 1743. The Baltimore
81 Ohio Railroad, which runs
through Bladensburg, is the oldest
railroad in the United States. It
was built in 1928.
The Peace Cross was built in
1925 for the men who died in the
first World War. The George
Washington Tavern was built in
1882 and was called the Indian
Maid. The Palo Alto Tavern was
built in 1874. These are located
on Route / which was the old
stage coach road to Philadelphia

English Class Goes

Roosevelt Hiuh School

The English 6 class of RooSe-
welt High School recently went en-
masse to visit the Library of Con-
gress and the Folger Shakespear-
can Library.
Millions were spent to create
the massive beauty of the Library
of Congress. AS the guide pointed
out the points of interest, such as
the signs of the Zodiac embossed
in the floor. the sculpture on the
banister representing the various
occupations in the world, and the
mosaic ceiling, the only one of its
kind in the city, we felt that this
money was well spent.
We saw the memorabilia of
Lincoln, Jefferson and Wilson, the
Declaration of Independence, the
Constitution, the Gutenberg
Bible and the mosaic of the god
dess, Minerva.
Other things of interest at the
Library of Congress are the rare
book room, the periodical room,
and the main circular reading
room. The method by which the
books are transported from one
building to the other engaged our
attention.
I approached the Folger Shake
spearean Library and saw Puck
welcoming me as he lorded over
his fountain and azaleas. To the
left of the entrance In bas relief
are noted characters from Shake
spearean plays. Inside, you can
browse through a long, narrow
room which contains paintings,
trinkets, instruments and folios of
the Shakespearean Age. At the
far end of the room a miniature
of the Globe Theatre Is displayed.
Following the sign, you come to
a quaint Shakespearean theatre.
The atmosphere it creates is
priceless. I wished that I might
have seen Macbeth" just then.
I'm looking forward to going
back to both libraries, so that I
may further study the treasures
which they contain.
This trip was extremely worth
while, and I hope that we may
have another one soon.
