Philadelphia. — Lester, a tiny community just beyond Philadel- p h i a ’ s southwestern boundary, basks in the glory Corning, N. Y., reflected upon itself when it built the giant 200-inch mirror for Mount Palomar observatory, high up in the mountains above San Diego, Calif. Here scientific eyes are observ ing, step by step, construction of the intricate socket in which the 16-foot, 8-inch “eye” can roll in comfort as it scans the heavens. Work on the mounting began six months ago and is not expected to be completed before next Septem ber. Work on Steel 'Bones’. Laboriously and with the great est care, workmen in the Westing- house Electric and Manufacturing company’s factory here are fasten ing together daily the steel bones and ligaments which will support, rotate and focus the massive tel escope mirror and its subordinate mirrors, all now being ground to proper curvatures in California. Sci entists estimated four tons of glass must be removed from the first one. After completion the telescope can be ridden at both ends and along either side, while the huge yoke in which the cage-like tele scope tube will swing is to be a fully-equipped four-room apartment, with electric lights, hot and cold CENTENARIAN Photo shoes Henry R.

In spite of its million - pound weight, scientists say, the telescope will roll easily and be under ex cellent control. Engineers have the friction problem so well in hand that the giant tube can be shifted by the pressure of an infant’s hand. They are, however, installing a small electric motor to accomplish this task. Rage Bearings. Only a fraction of the strength of a one-horsepower motor is re quired to move the great instru ment, the biggest bearing of which will be forty-six feet in diameter. This is the split-ring or horse shoe-shaped piece which constitutes the north support. The outer sur face will be machined glass-smooth and will rest on two patented oil pads, floating and sliding on a film of oil three one-thousands of an inch thick. The oil is fed under pressure. Westinghouse’s executives, who are used to the bigness of turbines, condensers, generators and the like, say they know of nothing similar anywhere to compare in size with this. When the telescope tube is fin ished, the fabricated pieces will be carried by ship to California and thence overland to the summit of Mount Palomar, in special over size trucks used in the Boulder Dam construction and over specially- built, wide turn roads. U. S. Navy engineers in charge of the observatory construction es timated three additional years will be required before the great 'scope is ready to take its wide turn in the heavens, reaching out through eight times more space than the current largest 'scope at Mount Wilson.

BARRETT The things most common among us are subject to the law of change. Our customs change. Habits of life in vogue a quarter of a cen tury ago are not practiced^ today. The garments worn by our g r a n d p arents seem almost gro tesque beside the present fashions. Archite c t u r a 1 changes have been very pro nounced in all types of build ings. The modernistic or futuristic mode of architecture prevails today. When we compare this interpreta tion of beauty in the field of struc tural designing with the Gothic de signs of medieval times, we see BASEBALL CHIEF C J^/oUSQ(xof6 By Lydia Le Baron Walker Rev.

Father Martin played base ball with Frankie Frisch at Ford- ham university, and a few seasons ago he pitched twelve consecutive victories for the Ogdensburg team in the defunct Northern New York league. He spends most of his spare time teaching youngsters the fine points of the game. a marked change. The field of mu sic has undergone processes of creation quite different from the genuis of the old masic masters. Much of the really fine music has been replaced by cheap jazz. The phonograph, the only apparatus we have for permanently recording sound, has been relegated to the at tic. Now in our homes, the radio bleats out the modern musical whims composed overnight, save for an occasional symphonic hour. Reading has also felt the changing inclinations o< a hurried people. The popular demand , today is for the short story that creates a thrill, rather than an inspiring ideal. Most of the books written today will not be read twenty-five years hence. People want change. Our bodies are constantly undergoing changes. Every seven years we are told that we have a new body, even though we are unmindful that the process is going on. We are not conscious of the physical changes because of the permanent element in personal ity; that element is Love. The objects upon which love is centered may change, but not love itself. A mother’s love today is the same as it was centuries ago when it was so wisely tested by Solomon. The loyalty of the family relation ship is the same today as when Ruth pledged her filial devotion to Naomi. No, love does not change, but its modes of expression and the objects upon which love is bestowed may change. Love is the only per manent thing in the world. Indeed, Henry Drummond, whose scientific writings caused a tempest in the philosophic thinking of his day, said: “Love is the greatest thing in the world.” Love is more than animal passion, for it is not that at all. Love is more than affection; more than mere attraction between two people. Love is the yearning for the priv ilege of expressing one’s deeper spiritual self in adoration of that which is recognized as the highest T AKING a bath can be one of the enjoyable acts of cleanliness. So many of these are just work, the measure of pleasure consisting in the qfter knowledge that dirt, dust and impurities have been ban ished. So it is good to realize that personal comfort can be coupled with the bath in cold weather, and not eliminated when the joy of sea bathing must be abandoned for a season. The zest of salt water bathing can be imparted in minor degrees by putting a good sprinkling of sea salt in the water in the tub. Salts of various kinds • re beneficial when thus added, and if these are perfumed, one of the luxuries of tub bathing is im parted. Epsom salts are a base for these de luxe salts. To them are added ingred ients chief among which is the per fume. The salts themselves are cheap, especial ly when bought in five pound quantities. This makes it possible for everyone, who so wish es, to enjoy the benefits of the salts, even though they prefer but must forego the delicate aroma which rises from perfumed bath salts which are not present in the plain salts. Bath Soaps. The matter of bath soaps is one for each person to decide for him self, unless advised by a physiciaa of some particular kind best suited to his skin. Some persons choose a soap that floats. This can be home made as well as purchased. Sel ect the one which by experiment suits you best. These soaps are seldom of the exotic variety, but this is not so important to some persons, as being able to pick the cake up without searching for it when the soap slips out of the hand. The majority of persons, however, delight more in the fragrance of the soap when, with this pleasant el ement, is coupled a quality con genial to the skin. Those who like to use a nail brush for fingers and toes while in the bath, do well to choose a brush that floats, as will all those with bristles secured in wood. A towel rack above the tub, or a rack so conveniently placed that the face cloth and the ample bath towel can be reached from the tub without a far stretch, or having actually to get out of the tub, adds decidedly to bathing comforts. And be sure to have a soap dish that fastens over the edge of the tub. • • • Sleeping Comfort. Blanket sheets or sheet blankets, whichever you prefer to call them, possible ideal in either the infinite or the human personality. . - Love is the only permanent thing in the world. “And, love is the strongest thing in the world— stronger than hate, stronger than evil, stronger than death.” • Western Newspaper Union. have again put in their appearance as a recognized household linen clos et furnishing. They help solve the problem of sleeping in luxurious warmth now, as in olden days. The necessity for blanket sheets in set tler homes, and even in much later periods, was such that household looms were kept busy weaving enough of these thin wool sheets to supply the requirements of the fam ily guest-room beds. By the use of these sheets, the weight of covers could be decreased on a bed without any lessening of warmth of the sleeper. Among the treasures of many a family are old-time blanket sheets. Two homespun sheets of wool, from sheep that grazed in the pastures of an ancestral farm in 1790, are among my prized possessions. What is more they still are used either for light weight summer blankets nr winter blanket sheets for com fortable warmth. The modern blanket sheets are not generally in plain natural colored wool, of a creamy hue approaching the color of linen sheets as closely as possible. More frequently than not, the sheets are colored and of wool finish cotton yarn or cotton and wool, instead of all wool. Plaid is a favorite design for them, al though there are other patterns and also blankets in beautiful pastel shades. A pair ef blanket sheets may be wanted, but one is apt to be used either as a top, Of under sheet, as preferred. Regulation cotton or linen sheets are not eliminated. The blanket sheets come between these, and may not be among the covers of the bed when made up, but be put on between the sheets should the night prove bitter cold at bed time. The warmth of the textile cuddles the body comfortably im mediately on getting into bed, while cotton and linen sheets have to ac quire warmth from the heat of the body.
