It was in all kindliness that
Aunt Olympia Slopshirs, wifa
of Senator Alancon Dalaporta

pronouncad “Slupahux") in
vitad her thraa orphaned lowa
niaces, the wise Halen, tha
beautiful Adela, and the joyous
Limpy, to live with them in
Washington. But it was not in
Aunt Olympia to overlook the
glorious political asset which
these three debutantes offered
in time of dire need.
• That’s where the trouble
started. And that, too, was the
start of tire gayest, maddest tale
of American political nonsense

Granite Memorial Marks
h Abe Lincoln's Birthplace
Abraham Lincoln National His
torical park, birthplace of Lincoln,
ciemprLse.s 110 acres and lies three
jrntles south of Hodgenviile, Ky. The
l.mrola Farm association bought
the site in 1906 and began the erec
tion of a granite building in which
to place a log cabin said to be that
in which Lincoln was born.
The cabin is 12 feet wide and 17
(fed long, 11 feet from the floor to
the eaves and 14 feet from the floor
go the highest point of the roof.
The memorial building, for which
the cornerstone was laid in 1909 on
the centennial of Lincoln’s birth, is
«f Connecticut granite lined with
Tennessee marble. Its inside dimen
adonis are 44 feet in width, 34 feet
in depth, and 45 feet in height. The
association in 1916 transferred title
to the farm and the memorial to
the United States, to be adminis
tered by the war department. In
1933 the property was transferred
to the jurisdiction of the National
iParic service.

Whew Gen. William T. Sherman
.asked Judge S. D. Lecompte what
examination was necessary for him
•to- become a lawyer, the judge re
plied; “None at all. I’ll admit you

I National Parks Service
Bans Windshield Stickers
The national park service, as a
I highway safety measure, is co-op-
I erating with state and local govern
i ments in efforts to abate the in
i creasing tendency of motorists to
1 cover their windshields with stick
i ers. Issuance of stickers to motor
ists visiting the national parks and
other areas in the federal parks sys
tem as evidence that they have
I paid the required entrance fees has
been discontinued, Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes has an
nounced.
Widespread distribution of com
mercial stickers in addition to those
indicating the automobiles had
passed state inspection and those
issued by the national park service
to show a fee had been paid, has
greatly increased traffic hazards,
park service officials point out.
Some state and local governments
have declared the use of all but of
ficial stickers to be unlawful.
This action is in line with recom
mendations of the American Safety
council, the American Automobile
association, the American Planning
and Civic association, and similar
organizations.
Realizing the tendency of travel
ers lo take the world into their con
fidence as to their journeys, as evi
denced by the sticker-covered lug
gage of trans-Atlantic travelers in
particular, the national park serv
ice is now making efforts to find a
practical and acceptable substitute,
as well as to meet the demand of
the average tourist to have visual
evidence that he has “been places.”
Vegetables Are Grown
Using ‘Bathtub’ Culture
Henry Glair, a Florida farmer, is
taking up hydroponic—water cul
ture—farming on a big scale.
He has built 12 huge tanks of
wood in which he hopes to produce
a diversified vegetable crop ordinar
ily grown in the field.
The tanks are covered with a
small wire mesh that holds moss
and similar substances as supports
for plants, which will grow in a nu
trient solution. Roots of the plants
will reach down into the tanks.
The bottoms of the tanks are cov
ered with cinders as an added sup
port for plants.
According to Glair the theory of
what is humorously called “bathtub
farming” is fairly simple:
“A plant gets its growth, flavor
and fragrance from sunlight; anl
air from the chemicals carried in
the soil. The soil merely acts as a
support for the plant and provides
it with a part of the chemicals that
it needs. Soil itself may even ba
detrimental in that it may contain
elements that retard instead of pro
mote growth. So, theoretically
speaking, if we give a plant me
chanical support, heat, sunlight, air
and water containing the proper
plant food, the plant ought to grow.”
Woodsmen Go West
The westward shift of the lumber
industry is reflected in a forest serv
ice compilation of mill production
from 1800 to the present time. Over
the entire period the East has sup
plied more than four-fifths of the
American lumber, three-fourths ti
which was softwoods and one-fourtb
hardwoods. At present, however,
nearly half the lumber cut is from
the western softwoods, which in
clude Douglas fir, ponderosa pine,
white pines, hemlock, spruce, and
redwood. The central region ha*
supplied more than 40 per cent *f
the hardwoods. The cut from 1900
to 1935 was more than half the ctft
for the previous century, but the
mill value for the 35 years was con
siderably greater than half of th«
$38,000,000,000 which was the total
estimated mill value of the cut for
135 years.
Invention of Gas Mask
Each type of gas mask has a dis
tinct field of usefulness and is cov
ered by a multitude of patents, most
of which have expired. In the Unit
ed States the first patent on an aif
purification type of gas mask was
United States patent No. 6529, is
sued to Haslett in 1849. The first
patent on a self-contained breathing
apparatus was United States patent
No. 7476, issued in 1850 to Lane.
The first hose mask patent w»* No,
16863, issued in 1857 to Nelson. Gas
mask development thus goes bach
many years and is indebted to many
individuals.
Radiam Over-Exposur*
The national bureau of standards
has developed a device which
flashes a warning to persons who
are in danger of over-exposure tc
radium rays. When exposure to
radium radiation reaches the limit
deemed safe by the bureau’s ex
perts, the device flashes a red light
and emits a buzzing sound. The bu
reau pointed out that in hospital*
where large quantities of radium
are handled it is important to pro
tect the technicians from overex
posure.
Shortest Airmail Flight
The shortest scheduled airmail
run in the world is the six-mile
autogiro airmail service from the
roof of the Philadelphia post office
to the Central airpoat in Camden.
Five round trips are made daily,
requiring approximately five mUt
utes each way. This service was fe
augurated on July 16, IIS9. and fe
