For years, scientists have beilieved these sub-microscopic organisms would be foreyer closed to Ithem. But lately they learned oth* Jerwise. Described at the meeting of the American Philosophical so| ciety in Philadelphia was a radically new kind of microscope that would , open up a realm of knowledge heretofore hidden. Developed over a several-year period in the RCA laboratories at Philadelphia under the direction of Dr. Vladimir K. Zworykin, noted for his contributions to television, the new Instrument is an electron microscope. Between it and the ordinary microscope there is no resemblance. Looking more like a large telescope than the ordinary microscope, it uses electrons (electrified particles) instead of light to detect 1 the previously invisible organisms. ! The instrument is capable of magnifying extremely small objects 100,000 times their actual size. With this power, scientists may be expected to throw light on the mystery of how viruses and proteins reproduce themselves, and also on the structure of proteins. Before its demonstration at the A. P. S. meeting, the electron microscope already had demonstrated its worth. In tests, during which enlargements were made up to 25,000 diameters, the $18,000 device disclosed why streptococci have always been seen in chain formation, like beads on a string, and it revealed for the first time how threadlike growths connect each individual organism with its neighbor. Philadelphia Lawyer Needed for Radio License If you ever get the idea that you would like to get a license from the government to operate a radio station?don't do it?unless you are prepared to answer hundreds of questions, intimate ones and other kinds and be prepared to place on exhibit scores pt confidential papers ranging from your birth certificate to when your Aunt Mamie had her last operation. The Federal Communications commission requires the applicants to fill out a 41-page questionnaire. If you or your wife has ever received a parking tag, you must so state; you must answer the ques-" tion as to whether you or any person identified with the proposed radio station has ever been sued or any proceedings brought against you. Was your dog ever picked up by a cop for letting him run loose? Are you divorced and if so, attach a copy of the divorce decree together with a complete record of the status of all your ?^imony payments. Other questions include "from what source did the fund for this' investment come? what kind of programs are to be broadcast and how many sustaining programs will you have7" According to one writer, the questionnaire appears to have been confected by a genius with a high I sense of responsibility but who was not overlooking any hots. Substitute for Old Chores "Various factors in modern life have made it more and more difficult for growing children to take an important part in family activities," says Prof. Ernest Osborne of Columbia Teachers college. "Chores in a city apartment or even in a suburban home are almost non-existent. It is only natural that children are given little chance to share in the remaining responsibilities of the home or in the planning of home activities. "It is necessary for parents to make conscious efforts from the earlu st years of the child's life to include him in the planning of family activities and to allow him to assume certain responsibilities for which he is adequate. Only a's he sets flic feeling or the satisfaction that comes from helping to plan a vacation or some ether project, will he develop the basic pattern of cooperation essential to good citizenship " Sulfamido Cuts Death Dr Wallace E Herrell and Dr. Alex E Brown of Rochester.

In fact, he may be more of a moving and breathing being today than ever before, for Douglas Fairbanks and Errol Flynn contributed to make him a dynamic and lovable figure on the screen. But did the stalwart champion of the common people ever really live? The fact is there is no actually conclusive historical proof that the beloved robber ever lived outside ballads and story books. J. Stacye is of the conviction that Robin Hood was a real man, but he adds, "A clever analytical critic might, perhaps, very easily cut up any theory that has been given on the subject." The first known mention of Robin Hood is in William Langland's poem, "Vision of Piers the Plowman," published about 1377. He is next mentioned in Wyntown's "Scottish Chronicle." After that the legends pnd anecdotes of the stout-hearted woodsman and his merry men grew thick and fast. In Sir Walter Scott's romance, Ivanhoe, Robin Hood plays a proiyjinent part, and appears under the names of DicconBend-the-Bow, Locksley the Archer, and finally under his traditional name of Robin Hood. Some historians and fiction writers incline to feel that "merrie Robin" was a man of flesh and blood, though they realize the* want of historical data to support them. Original American Flag Made in 1775 by Hulbert This business about Betsy Ross and the first American flag is being stirred up all over again. Betsy, says the Suffolk County Historical society of Long Island, missed putting together the first American flag by a full year. The organization has a flag to prove it. Thousands of visitors to the New York World's fair, it was disclosed, have gone away startled after seeing an inscription beneath a tattered banner in the Long Island Regional exhibit of the New York State building there. It reads: "The John Hulbert Flag?Original ,Stars and Stripes?1775." The banner, says the plate, was carried by John Hulbert's company of the Third regiment of New York, from Fort Ticonderoga to Philadelphia in the. fall of 1775. Repair crews are said to have found the flag in the walls of a house owned ' by Hulbert in 1775. Its six-pointed stars are arranged in the form of the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew, set on a blue field which ends at the sixth stripe. The New York group makes the implication that it was from the Hulbert flag that George Washington got the idea for the banner he had Betsy Ross make. Hulbert's flag, says the Suffolk County Historical society, was seen by members of the Continental congress in Philadelphia in the latter months of 1775. Selling Cats Legal Milwaukee police recently ran up against a stone wall after they had taken into custody some boys who were carrying a bagful of live cats. The kids told the officers they had picked up the felines all over the city and were taking them to a man who made fur slippers. They were to get 50 cents apiece for the live creatures. But when they were brought to headquarters, it was discovered that there was no Wisconsin law or city law which put a ban on the gathering or marketing of stray cats. But the police, nevertheless felt that it was a rather inhuman business and so something had to be doqe. So they charged the youngsters with disorderly conduct and turned the felines over to the Wisconsin Humane society. But the city won't be confronted with such a dilemma hereafter. The head of the humane society is busy drawing up a bill to be presented to the next legislature banning such a business. Juvenile Laws Criticized Despite a steady trend toward more liberal procedures in dealing with juvenile delinquents, legal execution of children is still possible 4P many staters, according to Gilbert Consulich of New York, legal research assistant of the National Probation association. Consulich declares that the death penalty has never' proved a deterrent to delinquency or crime. Socialized and preventive methods, he says, were far more effective than harsh and brutal punishments. Terming laws permitting the execution of juveniles to be relics of the day of the thumbscrew, the rack and the faggot. Consulich said. "In 18 states, certain felonies, including capital crimes, are excluded from the Jurisdiction of the juvenile courts. In 19 states, the law gives the adult courts concurrent jurisdiction over children. usually in the older age groups. In 31 states, Alaska and the District of ^Columbia, juvenile courts may* waive their jurisdiction in favor of . rirninal prosecution.'' 1 1 Use of Guard Rails Being Discontinued ' Camden motorists who have had occasion to travel U. 3. Highway 7G betwwm Columbia and Sumter have noted the absence of heavy guard raila on the All through the Wateree awamp willjbo interested to know that the atate highway department has definitely abandoned the use of guard raila and yill In the future use refiectorized markers. Motorists who have occasion to use Highway 7G have commented on the absence of the guard raila and in several Instances complaints have been filed with the highway department. This has resulted in a statement from Highway Engineer Claude H. McMillan who frankly states that the highway department does not contemplate erecting guard rails on the fill and that the refiectorized markers Just recently installed are not Just a temporary measure but are permanent. "The highway design and practice of using heavy guard rails on highway fills probably reached its peak about ten years ago," said Mr. McMillan. "At that time the Highway Department was constructing highways with a roadway width of about 28 feot and installing heavy guard raila on fills to prevent automobiles from running off the fills, being overturned, and the wooden frame bodies of the cars ((rushed. To run off of a comparatively low fill over in an automobile with a body of wooden frame construction was almost fatal. The guard rails were for the purpose of preventing Just that. "The roadway widths were narrow and consequently any upset in the vehicles meant that without sufficient width to maneuver, or without strong guard rails, the car would plunge over tho side. Speeds of vehicles were not nearly so great then as they are now and It was much less hazardous to Itft a strong guard rail than It was to roll over down an embankment and have the top of the car crushed on the occupants. 'Today the situation is quite different. Cars travel at a much more rapid rate of speed and there are a great deal more cars on the road to pass. Also, the car today is constructed of all steel bodies which do not crush on the occupants nearly so easily as did the old wooden bodies. "When the manufacturers built faster and more powerful cars they had to go to steel bodies for safety. Likewise, the Highway Department has had to adopt Its road designs for the new typo of cars using the roads. All fixed obstacles which may be hit by a car going at present day speeds have had to he taken out of the way. Today, with an all steel body car traveling at a rapid speed, there Is a much greater hazard involved in hitting some heavy obstacle, such as a concrete post of a guard rail, than there is in rolling over with nonorushable steel bodies. "The causeway through the Wateree River Swamp has a roadway width of 40 feet and flat fill slopes, as compared with the 28 ft. roadway steep fill slope standard back in the 'guard rail days.* This Increase in width is, of course, far more costly than gurad rails and the guard rail was not left off just to save money, it was purposely left off because it would have created a hazard. "The present day practice in driving a car at fast speed is more or less a question of aiming the car, instead of steering it as we did ten years ago. Consequently, light refiectorized guides have been installed along the outside edge of the fill to mark the BE KINO TO ANIMALS WILL if OB8ERVED WEEK OF APRIL 20* "He Kind to Animals Week" i? ?, arounil the corner?April 20 ?<} J? mane Sunday U April 20, when ih * Bands of pulplta and 8unday achoou will use klndn?M and sympathy !
