LIBRARY NOTES
From November lti to 21 Rook
Week is being obserVod throughout
the t nRed States. Young and old
are cordially invited to visit the Camden
public library and see If you can
llnd ut least one hook to "grow on."
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.
N?-w hooks not only on medical, but
also en religious and mental subjects
???> he found. "The Art of Ministerinn
io the Sick," should interest all
i lergy men as well as doctors; "The
Return to Religion" and "Wake L'y
and Did ," are on the best seller list.
Ddc-ii Laurels, the Dives and
Achievements ut the Great Naturalists,
by j eattie and "Audubon," bv
Rourke are two biographers that will
"?>i fail to interest nature lovers. In
th.* latter it is suggested that AuditUon

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.
