His research dis closed many interesting bits of history attached to the historic Declaration. His studies revealed that the first facsimile of the Declaration f Independence was made in 1823. President James Monroe di rected Secretary of State John Quincy Adams to have a true fac simile of the original engraved on a copper plate for posterity. The finest engraver of the time, W. I. Stone, was appointed to do the work. However, Stone ran into difficulty by using a wet transfer, and finding to his dismay that he signatures of practically all of the signers and some of the script had peeled off the parchment on to the copper plate. That is why, ever since 1823, the original docu ment has been permanently dam aged. When the engraving was com pleted, Stone printed 200 copies on genuine parchment, distributed to branches of the government and to descendants of the Signers. Ohman, in tracing these parch ments, discovered an original in an antique shop in the East. He also found, during his research, that the copy in the Library of Congress, thought to be the only one of the 200 original parch ment prints remaining in exist ence, was actually only an imita tion done on paper. It is Mr. Ohman’s intention, it was stated, now that his litho graphing has been completed, t present the actual parchment copy in his possession to the Li brary of Congress. UJ o m en IN THE ~HURCH IJlarif Foivler X Miss Irene Teagarden, Ameri can missionary-principal of the Girls’ School at Sidon, Syria, has under preparation a textbook in home economics in which Chris tian, Mohammedan and Druse women teachers are cooperating. The volume will be in Arabic. It is being discovered that Moham medan men—who often object to the education of their wives or daughters—are favorable to the teaching of home-making at the Girls’ School; it is believed that the good dishes prepared from the recipes of Miss Teagarden and her associates have “tickled” both their appetites and their minds.

Neil Young If the return of women to the home after the war would assure the removal of all our problems, Judge Anna M. Kross, of the Magistrates Court of New York, would favor it. But she expresses concern for the lack of willing ness to assume responsibility, the “let - George - do - it” philosophy rampant among youth today, as a reflection on the lack of training offered by present-day homes. “We have lost our capacity for righteous indignation,” she said. “We have failed in peacetime to educate for citizenship . . The delinquency problem is the resi due of all our mistakes. Every man, woman and child in the courts is a barometer—an indica tion that something is wrong semewhere.” Stating that the church must recognize the tempo of modern life, the competition cfft?.d by “honky-tonks, bars and movies,” Judge Kross stressed the need for churches to plan constructively, to take the initia tive in integrating home, church and sthool from which stem all social resources of the communi ty.

Springer and Superintendent Henry I. James of the Methodist Church in the Colony, to increase the opportunity for the education of African girls after the war— including social service workers, nurses and more teachers. “We must have more native young women trained for work among women and children,” he says. “We cannot raise the standards of the people unless we can reach their women and train them.’ Bishop Springer is hoping to se cure a number of missionary fam ilies and single women from Am erica for this service. Conservation News (By Benj. W. Crouch) 100 acres of kudzu have already been planted in the county this year on 21 farms. Mr. Hemming- er is harvesting his own crowns from a small area of kudzu on his farm. Mr. William Parker was able to get enough crowns for 2 acres and has planted them without any assistance. This is a good start. In order to establish a good cover of kudzu it is necessary to fertilize and cultivate this crop. Most farmers have been under the impression that kudzu would take field without any help. This is a false hope, as some of the planters of the county have found out. We must consider this plant a crop and it should be treated as such. But results have been obtained by establishing a good growth of kudzu on the bed the first year and then let it fill in between the rows the second year. Let it be your goal to get the rows covered this year. x Reduced Ceresan Dosage In Controll ing Cotton Seed- ling Diseases causing cotton seedling diseases. It does not appear safe, therefore, to make drastic reductions in the amount of Ceresan applied to cot ton seed. * It appears at present, says Dr. G. M. Armstrong, plant patholo gist of the Experiment Station, that supplies of mercury for seed treatment will be normal, and in that case the regular formula, should be followed. But in the case of local mercury shortages,, the reduced dosages may be used.
