j Extract Power From Sky
With New Wind-Turbine
The greatest windmill ever con- j
ceived and erected by man—a spec
tacular new scientific marvel —is
now being rushed to completion on
the summit of Grandpa’s Knob near
Rutland, Vt.
It represents the most serious and
j ambitious attempt ever made by '
I modern engineering genius to solve
a problem that long has intrigued
; and baffled scientists—how to har-
I ness the mighty power of the winds ,
I and convert it into cheap, usable j
electricity.
This unique, streamlined, super- j
windmill, which will cost several i
, hundred thousand dollars, is called
an experimental wind-turbine by
! Palmer Cosslett Putnam, the youth
-1 ful-looking and clever Boston engi
j neer who designed it for the S. Mor
gan-Smith company of York, Pa.,
j co-sponsor of the project.
Many eminent engineers and sci
i enlists studied the design of the
wind-turbine, and it impressed them
| as being practicable and having
great possibilities, with the result
that it was constructed on a huge
| scale for the Central Vermont Pub
i lie Service corporation.
Only wind-turbine of its size and
kind in the United States, and the
entire world probably, it may prove
a most valuable as well as a revolu- |
tionary contribution to the develop- |
ment of the power industry in New
England. Moreover, it may be a
most important auxiliary for nation
al defense.
Santa Domingo Has Oldest
Piece of Mahogany Known
Among the many woods that enter
into the manufacture of furniture,
the story of mahogany is one of the
most fabulous in history. With leg
ends and records of its use dating
back to the voyages of »Cortez, to
a development that produced a
single piece of furniture which has
to this day represented the ultimate
j in design and craftsmanship, is a i
} story of thrilling interest.
According to research by George
N. Lamb, director of the Mahogany
j Association, Inc., the earliest ma
i hogany in existence today is a
| roughly hewn cross in the cathedral
of Santo Domingo, which bears this
legend: “This is the first sign plant
! ed in the center of this field to mark
j the beginning of this magnificent
! temple in the year 1514.” The
cathedral, which was completed in
1550, has much carved mahogany
still in splendid condition.
It was not long after that piratical
rovers of the sea were carrying this
much-desired wood to Europe. One
of the most unusual stories of a
mahogany treasure trove is that of
| the 66 ships of the S|!*mish Armada,
which were sunk by the British in
1 1580. The first large shipment of
J mahogany to reach the shores of
! England still lies in the hulls of
j those ships on the bottom of the sea.

Echo of Past
The “vanishing race” has taken
on such a new lease of life, accord
j ing to latest reports, that by 1980
j there will be as many Indians here
as there were when Columbus land
ed in 1492.
The number of “Redskins” at
i that time is generally set at 700,000
’to 800,000. They were healthy and
1 robust, but tuberculosis and other
i infectious diseases took a drastic
toll in succeeding generations and
; for a time there were fears the
race would soon be extinct.
The abrupt change in trend is
I credited chiefly to improved med
j ical care. Today there are about
360,000 Indians in this country and
the number is growing steadily
every year. All of which is emi
nently fitting for a race whose con
tribution to our history is such a
| notable one.
Son Gets Mother’s Ears
One of the most remarkable op
erations in the annals of plastic sur
| gery recently took place in West
cliff-on-Sea, Essex, England. A
j mother’s sacrifice has built a new
face for her son. The mother is
Mrs. Atkins and the son is Jimmy.
As the result of an affliction, Jim- j
my could not speak properly. Jim- i
} my has been going to a hospital for I
j months for his face to be rebuilt j
i with skin grafted from other parts
!of his body. Now his smile is no
| longer contorted but straight and
jolly. But Jimmy had no ears so
) when his mother heard that he could
i be given ears, she pleaded with
j doctors to give him hers. So soon
I the final delicate operation of trans
! ferring the mother’s ears to her son
will be carried out and Jimmy will
be as good as new, doctors say.
Young Face Moral Problem
Educator Paul Landis of Wash
ington State has read over 1,000 in
timate autobiographies of college
students and concludes “the young
person of today faces more hard
moral problems in his first 20 years
than his grandparents faced in
a lifetime.”
He thinks it is harder to be good
today. First, even persons 40 years
old grew up in a pretty stable world '
with stable, well-defined standards
of right and wrong. Second, a vast
. ly greater proportion of young per
sons grew to maturity, married and
, lived in the home community with
j the support of home moral stand
ards. Third, young people were
then more self-sufficient, felt more
confidence in the world about them
and felt they knew clearly what was
1 right and wrong. _ „

served “hitch-hiking” by grabbing

Heart and Head
The belief that highly emotional •
persons let their heart interfere with
their head is an established medical i
fact. Dr. Frederic Leavitt of the
Philadelphia County hospital told 1
2,000 physicians. “One American '
in seven has high blood pressure |
and one in four, over the age of 53, J
dies of it,” he declared. “For years
doctors believed high blood pressure I
was caused by emotional and ner
vous disturbances which caused the
blood vessels to become tense, then
to shrink and harden.”
Building Boom
A building boom that may tax the |
capacities of the construction indus- j
try is foreseen as one result of i
America’s new national defense pro
grjw |y building men and material
manufacturers over the country. ,
Recalling the serious housing short- j
I age during the World war, those in 1
i the construction industry point out j
| that President Roosevelt’s plan for j
j vast new armaments will have .
; much the same effect. The pickup
in heavy capital goods is certain to
carry with it a vast employment
program, it is said. These activi- •
ties are foreseen as creating a huge
building program in the industrial |
field as well as an increased mar- j
ket for small homes to prosperous
! wage earners. . 1
