Savants Perfect Way
For X-Raying Metals
A new technique for X-ray analysis
of metals, alloys, welds, or small
metal parts, which may be of great
value to the armament industry as
well as for peace time work, was
discussed recently at the twentysecond
annual convention of the
American Society of Metals.
Early developments of this method
are now used in airplane manufacturing.
The improved technique
was presented by Dr. G. L. Clark,
University of Illinois chemistry professor,
and Dr. W. M. Shaffer, Iowa
State Teachers college chemistry
professor.
It involves X-raying a thin specimen
of the metal on plates having
special, extremely fine grain photographic
emulsions, and then enlarging
this negative 100 to 200 times.
The original photograph is about
the size of the end of a lead pencil.
The enlargement shows elements
in the metal, whether they are
spread evenly or bunched, and any
flaws or cracks which are in the
metal. These flaws may be originally
present or result from working
the metal. Flaws in welds are
instantly noticeable. Entire dfriall
metal parts may be X-rayed.
The X-ray gives the metallurgist
a three-dimensional view, enabling
him actually to look into the specimen.
Other methods of microscopic
study show him only the surface,
and involve troublesome techniques
of etching or polishing.
Pastor Developing Cloth Fresco
A streamline version of an ancient
art is being developed by the Reverend
Omer J. Chevrette of West
Warren, Mass. He has been granted
a patent on his process of
painting fresco on cloth, a vyork that
seemingly has aroused The interestof
the art world. Under Reverend
Chevrette's process, a sketch is first
outlined in pencil, the cloth is saturated
with dyes, and when dry are
covered with water -color pigments.
This process gives depth and richness
of tone as well as a lasting picture.
Under the ancient process,
artists first outlined a sketch on
fresh plaster, then laid in colors
which would sink into the plaster
and make a permanent picture.
Reverend Chevrette is spending all
his spare time on lus new process.
Fruit Juice Stains
Stains of fruit juice, tea or coffee
can usually be removed from white
linen by pouring boiling water
through the cloth. The material
should be stretched taut and the
water poured from some distance
above it, so that the water strikes
the fabric with some force. Stubborn
stains may be covered with
glycerine and the hot water poured
through again. Any stains not responding
to this treatment should
be treated alternately with ammonia
and peroxide, the fabric afterward
rinsed in diluted acetic acid,
then in clear water, so that all
traces of these reagents are removed.
Origin of Word Maverick
For All Stray Yearlings
Every ranchman in Montana
knows that a maverick is a yearling
calf without a brand, the property
of the first handyman who affixes
his brand to the animal, providing,
always, that he is not caught at it.
Time was when all one needed to
make a start in the cattle business
was a rope and a branding
iron.
' How many are there who know
ihow the word "maverick" originated.
Capt. Dan W. ftoberts, one
of the organizers of the famous
Texas rangers, in his book, "Rangers
and Sovereignty," explains the
origin of the word as follows:
'un the early days of Texas, say
from 1845 to 1860, the cattlemen
worked together in perfect hajmony
and in each other's interest. Sam
Maverick was probably the largest
cattle owner in the state, at that
time. So large was the area of his
cattle range that his men could'
hardly get over it in one season to
mark and brand his calves. Maverick
was a wealthy and influential
man and the small cattle owners
looked after his Interests, together
with their own.
"When the cattlemen were working
their ranges and came upon a
yearling that was not marked or
branded, they generally conceded
that it belonged to Sam Maverick.
So common was the expression
'maverick' that they applied it
straight to the animal, and all unbranded
yearlings were called
mavericks. The term became general
all over the state and spread
into other states of the West, where
there was any cattle raising."

FREEDOM OF 8EAS GUARANTEED
BY VJ. 8. 8E1Z\)RE OF
The occupation of Iceland by I". S.
Naval forces makes the further steps
necessary to be taken to win the battle
of the Atlantic close at hand.
In the most daring and timely
move sinoe patrol work in the Atlantic
was introduced, U. S. Marines relieved
British occupants at the LmporI
tant northern base and prepared to
take all shooting risks to insure the
island's defense. U. S. officials have
assured, and it seems reasonable, that
the sea lanes will be kept clear in
that area. It is rumored that the U.
S. is contemplating similar action at
the French African base of Dakar and
the Cape Verde Islands.
The U. S. Navy is expected, by this
nioVe7To "drive all ~~German raiders
from the seas, between Iceland and
eastern United States ports. It is the
best guarantee to keep Germany from
tiptoeing westward since the trade of
fifty destroyers for British naval and
air bases. The United States has
beaten Germany to ' the gun. Germany
cannot and will not be permitted
to take one more step, small as it
might be, toward this hemisphere.
In addition to the seizure's importance
for the defense of this hemisphere,
the aid to Britain in forestalling
an invasion is incalculable. It is
welcome news to the British that an
armed force of around 60,000 to 60,000
troops, that may well be used in
the defense of England, can now return
home. Since the United States
will finally take over the defense of
Iceland, these troops will be available
for fighting elsewhere.
It is admitted that the occupation
of Iceland brings the United States
closer to a shooting war. The importance
of Iceland as a spot from which
to launch a naval war on Germany is
unquestioned. And if Germany accepts
the issue, Germany's true intenions
toward the United States may
soon be brought out into the open.
The occupatlJon means, simply, that
the United Sates is now prepared to
take over the main problems of shipping
over the route between Halifax,
New York, Boston and Iceland. That
will be a great responsibility, but the
U.-S. Navy is ready to accept it. The
United States is prepared to accept
losses, along with Britain, and those
losses may come at any time. The
United States is risking war so that
aid to, Britain and the freedom of
the seas will be guaranteed, but In
doing so is taking the cheapest and
most certain method of assuring its
future security and gaining time to i
preparo its home defenses.

!- Earth Slide ,
Begins Moving
St. Charles, Va., July 13?A huge
earth slide, which wrecked six houses
last week before coming to a halt,
resumed its lava-like flow early today
and crushed six more homes in
the Bonny Blue mining camp.
, Heavy rains last night softened the
earth on the side of the little Black
mountain near the Virginia-Kentucky
border and the creeping motion of the
slide, some 200 feet wide and 2,000
feet long, began shortly after midnight.
Observers estimated the volume
of earth and mine refuse in the
new movement was several tirrtes
greater than in the flow of last week.
Excited families occupying homes
in the path of the slide moved their
j furniture and other belongings to safjer
ground on the mountain side. Nine
| families had moved out by this after-1
I noon from houses as yet untouched
| but considered to be in the danger
zone.
Three miles away, small slides covt
ered mine tracks at the Leona and
Monarch coal mines, and a 200-foot
section of railroad near the Leona
was undermined by high waters.
Two of the houses damaged today
by the slide were caught in the flow
, last Monday and Tuesday but had
been repaired.
Officers Get Their
Man After 13 Years
' f
After more than thirteen years of
freedom Bill Jordan, is again in the
Chesterfield County jail. He now
awaits trial for killing Andrew Rushing
on October 22. 1927,
The killing occurred at a store near
a saw mill in the Society Hill section.
Jordan is alleged to have fired the
fatal shot. He was arrested and
lodged in Jail. In February, 1928, two
prisoners broke jail by sawing iron
window bars, one of whom was Jordan.
During the intervening years the
sheriff's office has trailed Jordan as
"Henry fate" and as "Jack Lee Williams,
through several states. He was
known to have visited Reldsvllle, N.
C., about a year ago. He was recently
located at a saw mill about seven
miles from Reldsvllle. Deputy Sheriff
King, taking with , him several
men able to identify the fugitive, visited
the saw mil], identified their man
and returned him to the county Jail.?
It is said Jordan had married in
the interval and is the fathsr of three
children. His wife died some time
ago.
' Jordan now admits to be 33 years
of age, which would place his age
at the time the crime was committed
at 19.?Chesterfield Advertiser.

Send Bermuda
Drinking Water
Washington, July 13? A cargo of
drinking water for drought-gripped
Bermuda is scheduled to leave Moorehead
City, N. C., tomorrow aboard the
maritime comrAission'b training ship
American Seaman.
The commission said today that the
ship probably would reach the Britishowned
island, on which an American
naval base is being built, on July 17.
The vessel will carry 3,000 tons of
water during a stay of about a week
in Bermuda will turn out another
3.000 tons from its distillation plant
whiclr converts sea water.
If the trip of the American Seaman
does not ofTset the water shortage,
the commission said another vessel
will be sent. The American Seaman
is a 7,000-ton steamer based at St.
Petersburg, Fla.
Much of Bermuda's water supply is
collected from the run-off of rain
water from roof tops and hillsideB,
but there has been scant rainfall in
recent months. There also has been
an increased demand for water arising
from the presence of United
States workmen and naval forces engaged
in the base construction.
Three Die In
Plane Collision
Augusta, Ga., July 11?A mid air
collision of two trainer planes at
Kathwood, S. C., late yesterday killed
three instructors of the Georgia Aero
Tech flying school near here. A cadet
parachuted to safety.
The dead were identified as J. W.
Dionne, 30, of Green Bay, Wis.; D. C.
Bush, 26, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa;
and J. W. Yawn, Jr., of Graceville,
Fla. The cadet was Vincent Relyea
of Long Island, N. Y. .
The planes, both low-wing BT-16
monoplanes collided at about 700 feet
altitude. Captain A. J. McVea, army
officer in charge of training, said an
* investigation was being pressed.
Dionne was flying with Relyea.
Apparently Dionne made an attempt
to parachute down, but he plummeted
into a cotton field, his 'chute partly
opened.
Bush and Yawn were found dead
in their plane which crashed on the
edge of a swamp several hundred
yards from the other ship.
