I his year the theme for Rook Week in "Rooks to Grow On: The Modern World for Young Readers ." For older boys who want to know more about flying you'll find a brand new book called, I he Wonder Rook of tho Air," describing famous flights which have marked the development of aviation, also the airships and airplanes in use today, with all their mechanical, electrical and radio equipment, which contribute to the safety.of air travel. And when one speaks ol' air travel one immediately thinks of that charming book not quite so new but still holding its place on the best-seller list, which Alexander Woolcott predicts as one book that will be read a hundred years from now, Anne Lindbergh's "North to the Orient." For all those Interested in the medical profession we have two delightful biographies. "An American Doc-1 tor's Odyesey," by Victor Meiser and | "Memoirs of a Small Town Surgeon," by Wheeler. The latter was present?'d by Mrs. Frank Zetnp and should he particularly Interesting to Camden readers as it c ontains many interesting and humorous references to the internationally known surgeon. Dr. F. S. Watson, who has spent several winters In Camden. The former deals with Dr. Heiser's work in foreign countries as a medical officer in the I nited States immigration service, a* director of health in the Philipl,l||es and as director of health divislh'' Reckefi-lh-r foundation, which sent him sixteen times around the world.

PHIL, THE INVENTOR (Condensed from Collier's, The National Weekly) Here Ih an urnazlug fact of modern lite, one that Just doesn't seem possible?namely, (hut electrically a Canned television, the kind of television thai seems destined lo reach your home hooii, wuh laigely given to the world by a 19-year-old farm boy, workliiK almoHt without money or equipment. Think what he was up against: eminent scientists the world over, great corporations with million-dollar research iSboratorles, university staffs with latest equipment. if televlKlon becomoH a reality In American homes hy ChristtnaH of 1 !#:J7 (as Ih widely predicted) it will he due largely to the pioneer work of thlh youiiK man, Philo T. Farnsworth. today barely turned 30. The govei/nnionts of England and Germany are officially testing his Invention, and when television ip brought out commercially In the land of 11h hlrth, the United States it Ih vrltually certain to be concentrated in two major systems, that of thd Itadlo Corporation of America, and Fartisworih'h, Moth ard based on the principle of scumiing an in/age?that is, translating light impulses into electrical impulses?hy means of fast-1^ lljing electrons. It is this principle, ho lie claims, which Farnsworth was the first to give a practical laboratory demonstration. Farnsworth early showed the mechunical bent that was to carry him to greatness, at the age of 12 asHiiming office as chief engineer of his father's Idaho farm. It had all Berts of mechanical equipment, including a home electric-lighting system, power hoists to lift hay into the barn, and other intricate hoisting devices. He added to these by converting a washing machine from hand to electric power, actually winding an armature -?an extremely intricate task as any electrician will tell you?In order to construct an electric motor. Think of this boy, living fifty miles from a railroad and seeing a train no more than twice a year, yet so keenly observant that he could take one good look at a locomotive) and then go home and make a scale model of it. He did the same thing | with an automobile and an airplane. Hacking an adequate library, he bought a 10-volume popular encyclopedia of electricity and paid for it tit the rate of $1 a month for 10 months. To attend high school he rode four miles on horse-back, to be ! admitted?even while a gangling freshmntv?to the senior course In chemistry. Ensued then two years of intense study from which lie turned asido | long enough to invent a thiefproof magnetic auto lock and win a $25 prize offered by an electrical magazine. He needed the money to buy liis first suit of long pants and thus mako himself presentable at a highschool dance. When lie was only halfway through high school the family moved to Provo, Utah, where Philo took special extension courses so vigorously that by mid year he was admitted to Brigham Young University. There he tried out every piece of apparatus he could lay his hands on until, at IN. he had worked out the basic concept of a system of television, virtually as it stands today. His theory was so far in advance u current practice that few people understood it and no one would advance him money. After two years of struggle, during which his father died and he had to help support the family, Philo was forced to take a job iu Salt Lake City. He worked for George Kvorson, director of fundraising campaigns for communities and social organizations. Everson heard of the television plan and j though he had no background of technology, was smart enough to recog- : nize genius. Ho took Farnsworth . 1 ^''gMgaagBBB^agBggu gMWiMW along on hiu next job In Han Frailclaco and supplied. funds for his experiment*. , Finally caino the great day in 11126 whon Parnawofth, now 19, described hia theories and showed his models and blueprints to two experts Ouq was u patent attorney, a graduate of Massachusetts lustiulute of Technology, a scientist in his own right. The other was a national authority on electrophysics At the end of four hours of explanation by Farnsworth, the putent attorney explained:' it's monstrous?the daring of that boy's intellect." The other expert said: "The boy's theories are not only scientifically sound, they are startllngly original and staggering in their implications." They agreed that Farnsworth should apply for patents. Upon these patenUrshls organization today bases its clafui to control of electronic television. For in 1926 all the major witrkm in television were using me-7 chaiilcul whirling disks to scan the image. It was Farnsworth's contention, now generally accepted, thai in order to transmit a satisfactory linage tlies speeds required of the whirling disk would be so great as to lie beyond mechanical possibility, and only ilying electrons, moving with the speed of light, could do it. To build a laboratory model of tills system Farnsworth had to invent his own 'tools as ho went along. He hud to learn such Intricate subjects and skills us electrochemistry, metallurgy, optics, photography and glass blowing. The cathode-ray tube on which was received the lirst successful electronic television Image in the history of the world was made, according to Mr. Farnsworth with his own hands?and 20-year-old hands at that, George Everson's major task was to find financial backers, men who would support an - unknown kid against the massed technical and financial resources of the great electrical corporations, and advance lots of good hard money with no assets in view.'After months of patient working he succeeded, and Farnsworth was able to continue. For ten long years, first In a laboratory, in Ban Francisco and after 1930 In Philadelphia, he labored on. The big companies, such as R. C. A., had the situation pretty well sowed iil> and ignored Farnsworth. Finding himself blocked In this country, Farnsworth sailed for Europe in 1934, seeking recognition. He got It, too. The huge Goerz-Bosch-Fernseh Interests In Germany, allied with the German government, and the Bald interests in England, allied with the British government, just last year signed up-with the "unknown" American. The Farnsworth company has just completed an experimental television broadcasting station In Philadelphia and extensive field tests are scheduled to begin this fall. So far the Philco company wtyich brought him East in 1930, Is the major licensee In this country. \ Aside from Farnsworth, the other chief factor tho television field is, pf course, the Radio Corporation of America. From one or the other, or both, television seems destined to reach the American home by the end of next year. Indications are that the image will be approximately eight by ten Inches In size, tfle picture will be pretty clear, aud a home receiving set, capable of picking up signals from either system, will cost about $200 or $300. Television by no means represents the wholo of Farnsworth's achievements. <, Investigating possible uses of electronics in medicine, he worked with University of Pennsylvania biologists in developing a process for sterilizing milk by passing radio waves through it. He has invented a fogpenetrating beam to aid pilots of ships and airplanes. His finest Inventions are virtually incomprehensible to the layman?tubes, processes and pieces of apparatus in the upper realms of electrohysics?but they have given him a unique standing as one of the really great minds in modern science. Why Sphinx It "Wonder" Dr. George S. Duncan of the department of A3syrlology and Egyptology ot the American university says that the ancients considered the pyramids of Gizeh near Cairo as one of the seven wonders of the world. These three pyramids Included also the group of structures including the Sphinx, so In a very important sense the Sphinx Is part of the wonders of buildings taken together as one wonder. Why Many Moonlight Nights The full moon at the time of the autumnal equinox Is In rhnt part of its orbit where It makes the smallest angle with the horizon ; It rises at neariy the same hour for several nights In succession at this time of the year, thus giving an unusual proportion of) moonlight evenings. Why It ! CalleU "Pop" Some sweet, nonlntoxlcating drinks containing carbon dioxide were named "pop" because wbeu the bottles were opeued the corks were expelled with a pop or quick, explosive noise. The original name wits "soda pop," but was soon shortened to "pop." Why Feet Cauie Backache When your legs nnd hack ache, or you grow excessively tired from walk ing or standing, the reason can very probably be due to faulty feet, for the nerve supply of the foot comes from the great sciatic nur\e. which starts lr the small of the hack. -Why E artb Is Dropp:?i op Cr.tI.et The reason that sotne i.-itgc ns tees icq tire earth lo he I on i.c casket as it is being lowcicd into ik gravel is that tie net mho.izes in return ot ike ( f Wants-For Sale I FOR RENT?-Olio 5 room and one <i I room cottage.
