To ur 4-H Boys Study Forestry and Learn How to Make the Farm Woodlot Pay Week’s Course Covers Proper Management Of Timber Crop. Learning forestry from the ground up, from boyhood up, is the feature of a new venture in the forest areas of Georgia. Teen-age boys learn the fundamentals of forest management right out in the woods, away from the classroom and away from books. The move was inaugurated with a special forestry camp, at tended last summer by 60 boys of varying ages, at the Laura S. Walk er State park near Waycross, Ga. It is planned to give the same course every summer hereafter. These 60 boys, members of 4-H clubs who have performed outstand ing work in club forestry projects during the past year, combined study and play in a comprehen sive week’s program. They went home benefited by a vacation in the woods, but also stuffed with knowl edge about trees and tree growth. Knowledge for Future. Teaching boys the principles of forestry made good sense to the sponsors of the experiment, which included the Georgia agricultural extension service, the Union Bag and Paper corporation, and the Bruns wick Pulp and Paper company with the Georgia department of forestry co-operating. These forestry-mind ed supporters reasoned that not only could the boys turn such knowledge into their own profit in later years, but likewise can carry home, to their busy farm-fathers, the message of how they can make their woodlots, as well as their other crops, pay dividends. The boys covered the forest ground thoroughly in their week’s sojourn, which was sandwiched here and there with a game of horseshoes, swimming or hiking. But it was tio course in nature; it was silviculture in its best, if short, form. Income From Wood. They learned how to control for est fires. They collected pine cones, extracted their seed and set out the seeds to grow the seedlings that will be transplanted on idle and wornout farm land. They learned how to es timate the value of a timber crop; how to measure the board feet in a tree, and then cut it down to see if they had measured right. By actual training, they learned how to select and judge trees which should be cut for pulpwood, sawlogs, fuelwood, ties, veneer blocks, poles and piling, all of which types might be found in a given stand of timber. But more importantly, they learned how to manage a timber crop on a farm to the best advantage for a continuous income. The teaching staff, provided by the extension service, also held brief blackboard sessions, at which the boys were taught the importance of wood to southern agriculture. They learned, as well, that only with sci entific management of her forests was the South able to continue to produce one-half of the total timber removed each year in the United States, and that pulpwood was the backbone of one of the South’s ma jor industries, pulp and paper pro duction. Nazi Inventors Came Close to Winning War —Investigators Find Research in German laboratories, and the use of that knowledge in making armaments, were coming ahead so fast at the end of the war that the Allies’ margin of superiority was rapidly decreasing. Extensive research was being con ducted by German scientists on in fra-red detection. It was used to great effect, in tank warfare at night, when opposing tank units had difficulty spotting oi;e another and closing in for the kill. The Germans developed infra-red filters for their searchlights and shot them toward areas where they believed Allied tanks were lurking. Since infra-red rays are invisible, the Allied tank men did not know they were being illuminated. The infra-red rays from the fil tered searchlight beams hit the Al lied tanks, bounced back to devices known as “bildwandlers,” or “im age changers,” mounted on German tank guns. The bildwandlers trans formed the infra-red rays into an image of the opposing tank, and the gunners opened fire. German aircraft designs were coming ahead at a fast pace. An error of major proportions was made, however, in emphasizing the Messerschmitt 163, equipped with rocket engines, instead of the Mes serschmitt 262, a jet-propelled fight er. Antiaircraft defenses of such vital industrial centers as Schweinfurt, Merseburg, and Hamburg, consisted of massed concentrations of AA guns. A captured German general explained that lack of efficient re mote-control electric equipment to operate the guns and fire-control instruments alone prevented the bat teries from doubling their kills. Members of the “harvesting and processing” class investigate a semi-portable sawmill, and learn a good deal about economical and practical methods of cutting lumber. The group first measured amount of wood in a log, then compared it with actual yield of boards. Sherlock Holmes of the Library One of the most unusual detectives outside the pages of fiction is G. William Bergquist, who trails books instead of bodies, which makes him a Philo Vance of the volumes. Mr. Bergquist is the sleuthing genius and chief investigator ^f the office of the special investigator of the New York Public library. The du ties of this literary dick are not con fined to checking the depredations of book snatchers. He not only recov ers stolen volumes, but uncovers the thieves, accomplices and “fences” who buy stolen books. He detects forgeries, not only of documents and signatures, but of entire volumes. He also tracks down offenders who de face and mutilate books. So beware, you “o-fillers” and mustache draw ers! The library appointed Bergquist in 1929 to safeguard its priceless col lection of books and documents, but he soon extended his services to the book world at large. He investigates about 50 cases a year for other li braries, private collectors and deal ers, with a high percentage of suc cess. He detected faked documents bearing the signatures of Benjamin Franklin, Lincoln and Washington, and exposed the forger. The cul prit, by the way, turned out to be an interesting character. He con tinues to visit Mr. Bergquist, his nemesis. The unique relationship between the literary sleuth and the under world and bibliophiles has been very helpful in ferreting out thefts and i a low power magnifying uist examines the binding of tected volume. Fake first edi- are among his most intriguing forgeries. Dealers co-operate with the detective in tracking down the book crooks who steal valuable vol umes and manuscripts, but it is Bergquist’s encyclopedic knowledge that is his greatest asset. Rare books are handled by only a few shops, so Bergquist generally knows where to hunt for a stolen volume. Some of these precious items are sold by thieves directly to collectors, of course, but generally they pass through the hands of a “fence” or crooked dealer. When seeking to determine the authenticity of an old document, Bergquist depends upon several clues. One is the watermark in the paper. Sometimes, however, this test fails, as in the famous case of the Lincoln legal papers. The true ones were written on foolscap known as “Monier’s 1851.” A clever forger obtained a considerable supply of this paper in an antique shop near Peoria, 111. Forged first editions are another of the problems that keep Bergquist busy. He has to know a lot about materials—paper, leather, ink, glue —about the processes of printing and binding, type faces, gilding and the like—to be able to tell the true from the false. Scientific equipment helps Berg quist often. For instance, with an ultra-violet lamp he can see a li brary stamp, even though it has been entirely erased. The invisible ray brings out the aniline dye used for stamping. Microscopes aid him sometimes. So does finger-printing equipment, photography and chem istry. He is not, hov/ever, a career book sleuth. Although he spent his boyhood in an atmosphere of books at the exclusive Groton preparatory school where his father was superin tendent, he is by no means a book worm. As a young man he was a cattle breeder, and later a sales man for a wholesale grocery. New Electric Locomotive Develops 8,000 Horsepower, Weighs 500 Tons, Can Pu A new million pound, 143 feet long “super giant” electric locomotive, the most powerful electric locomo tive in the United States, is to be built by the General Electric com pany at its Erie, Pa., plant for de livery in 1946. An order for four of the new engines has been placed by the Virginian Railway company. They will be used mainly for heavy coal-haulage over the Alleghany mountains on the Virginian’s electri- .1 Freight Upgrade at 50 MPH fied territory between Roanoke, Va., and Mullens, W. Va. The “super giant” will be the first of any kind of locomotive to carry weight of 1,000,000 pounds on drivers. The present heaviest weight is slightly more than 900,000 pounds. What will establish the iron be hemoth as supreme among all elec trics however will be its rating of 8,000 horsepower, 6,800 horsepower of which will be available continu ously at the rails. This is 800 horse power over the present most pow erful locomotive. The “million pounder” will have a starting tractive effort of 260,000 pounds, based on 26 per cent adhe sion to rail, and will have a contin uous tractive effort at 15.75 miles per hour of 162,000 pounds. Such pulling power, applied to the Virgin ian line’s electrified territory, will mean that the new G-E “super giant” will be able to negotiate 10,000 ton coal trains at moderate speeds on heavy grades, while with "GAY GADGETS" Associated Newspapers—WNU Features. By NANCY PEPPER SCHOOL DAZE We’ve been wandering around the corridors of high schools lately, just watching and wondering. Maybe you’ve seen us. We’re that charac ter in the middle there—the one with the cauliflower ear and the Bob Hope nose. Here are some gems from our note book. Required Reading—We’ve seen so many girls huddled together lately over an I.D. bracelet that one of them was wearing that we started asking questions about it. Seems it’s the fad for your OAO to have something sentimental en graved inside your bracelet disc and, of course, his tender words make good reading for your com petitors. Lots of boys express their sentiments in letters, rather than words. For instate, “A.M.L.” means “All My Love.” Soft music there, professor! , Sweater Clubs—When we’ve asked why so many girls wear the same reindeer sweaters on certain days, we’re told that they’re members of a Reindeer club and the sweater is their symbol. Painted Paws—Would you believe it—we’ve seen girl cheer leaders wearing green nail polish to match their green and white costumes. Doesn’t it pucker you? Penny Pairs—We asked why some girls wore two pennies in each moo shoe. The answer is that two pen nies mean you’re going steady. One penny means you’re still looking. • • • MOVIE MADNESS Recently we asked our soda foun tain FBI to do some sleuthing about the Van Joh.^on fad. Our official report confirm* the fact that he’s, Number One in year affections and you told us why, too. Seems he re< minds you of the boy next door. Well, here in your very own words, are reasons why you’re drooling for some of the othe* Hollywood heroes. John Hodiak—“Because he’s dark, good looking, masculine and muscu lar; because he has a devastating smile and because of the way he talks.” (That’s telling us.) Paul Henreid—“Because he’s very handsome, suave and intelligent and something about him makes me swoon.” (What GOULD it.be?) Robert Walker — “Because he’s sorta the all-American boy—not too handsome, not too homely. Because he reminds me of the boys I go to school with.” (Let’s change schools.) Lon McAllister—“Because he’s so much like a boy you COULD know, but just don’t. That is, it seems possible that he could live around the corner.” (What’s your address?) Sonny Tafts — “Because mora girls like Van, so I should have a slightly better chance with Sonny.” (Afraid of competition, huh?) Tom Drake — “Because it’s so easy to imagine he’s your latest heartbeat.” (A girl can dream, can’t 'she?) • • • TRIXIE TEEN SAYS— Note that there’s no further need for in vasion precautions, why hold your parties in a Blackout? Why give the Lights-Out signal as soon as the gang is gathered for a good time around the phonograph? If you’re the gal who goes in for smooching (and I hope you’re not), you don’t need a party to carry on your subversive activi ties. If you’re the gal who likes to talk and dancs (and I know you are), wouldn’t you rather see what you’re doing and whom you’re talking to? Your parents applaud economy, but they never told you tr save on electricity. Hey, Junior—the Blackout’s overl It’s time you were beginning to see the light. Minuitt Make-Up* By GABRIKLLE 1.

According to design, two 4,00C horsepower motor generator sets, mounted within the cab structure, will supply energy to a d-c traction motor, which will be geared to each of 16 driving axles under the two cab unit. The motor generator sets will work on an 11,000 volt, 25 cycle over head contact system, with which the Virginian line is equipped. Stations generated by coal will send powel through this system.
