w--
Winston Churchill's dramatic visit
to Washington and his historical ad -
'dress have revived interest in a series
of three -poems, published at the time
• of the 'Spanish American War.. The
first poem, "Greetings From Eng-
land," was called to Mrs. Eddy's at-
tention, and this evoked her famous
lines, "The United States to Great
Britain". During the winter of 1898
Alfred Austin, then poet laureate of
England, wrote a long poem advoca-
ting Anglo-American union ,entitled
"East to the West," from which the
accompanying stanzas are taken.. It
is not known whether Mr. Austin had
;previously seen Mrs. Eddy's poem.
GREETINGS FROM ENGLAND
•
W. A. in the London Chronicle,
April 22, 1898
America! dear brother land!
• While yet the shotted guns are mute,
Accept a brotherly salute,.
A hearty grip of. England's hand.
' Tomorrow when the sulphurous glow
Of war .shall dim the stars above.
Be sure the star ,of England's love
Is over you, come weal or woe.
' Go forth in hope! Go forth in might!
To all your nobler self be true,
That corning tines may see in you
"The vanguard of the hosts of light.
Though wrathful justice load and
train
Your guns, be ev'rybreach they make
A gateway piercedfor mercy's sake
' That peace may enter in and reign.
Then, should the host, of darkness
band
Against you, lowering thund'rously,
Flush - the word, Brother, o'er the sea
And England at your side shall stand.
Exulting! For though dark the night
And sinister the scud and rack
The hour that brings us back to back
But harbingers the larger light

To the billows and the breeze;
We proffer thee warm welcome
•With our hand, though not our

Lord' of the main and manor!
Thy palm, in ancient day,
Diclst rock the country's cradle
That wakes thy laureate's lay.

Oar eagle, like the dove,
Returns to bless a bridal
Betokened from above.
List, brother! angels whisper
To Judah's sceptred race,

By Alfred Austin -
- What is the voice I hear
On the winds of the western sea?
'Sentinel, listen front out. Cape Clear
And say what the voice may be.
'Tia a proud free people calling loud
to a people proud and free, . .. .
And it says to them: "Kinsmen, hail;
We severed' have been too long.
Now let us have done with a worn-out
tale—
Thee tale of ancient wrong
And our friendship last long as our

death is strong."
Answer them, sons •of the self -same
raee,
And: blood of the self -same clan;
Let us speak with each other face to
face
And answer as man to roan,
And loyally love and trust each other
as none but free men can. .• . ,
;Now fling them out to the breeze,
Shamrock, Thistle, and Rose,
And the Star-spangled Banner utrftirl

A message to bond and thrall to wake,
For whenever we come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rock
and quake,
And his menace be void and vain,
For you are lords of a strong land and
we are lords of the 'main.
Yes, this is the voice of the bluff
March gale;
We servered: have been too long,
But now we have done with a worn-
out tale=
The tale of an ancient wrong—
And our friendships: shall last as lova

PREAC'HER'S SON
By Ethel Romig Fuller
From the hour the stork dropped
A baby at the manse,
The parish watched—its eyebrows
Censoriously askance --
Young sins of commission,
And =mission: fun,
Proper to its ' children,.
Taboo for "preacher's son."
"His father," folks whispered,
"Without an evil taint.
His mother, now, there is,
If ever was, a saint!
And he, - an imp of Satan!
Mischievous? Oh, me!
The lad will come to some dire end.,
You just wait and see!"
Yet, despite predictions,
One far day, acclaim
Headlined the city papers,
Ebon-tall with fame—
Not of feats the grocer's
Or the lawyer's boy had done,
But, odd beyond believing,
Prowess of preacher's son.

That's' why many of our readers are
asking about textiles. They want to
know the special, characteristics of
the different materials so they Can,
care for them properly. Textiles are
of two main types: the artificial fib-
re fabrics—nylon and the various ray-
ons; ,and the natural fibre fabrics—
wool, silk, cotton and linen. The sub-
ject is a length), one, so we will only
discuss artificial fibre fabrics this'
week.
Nylon is made from coal, air and
water. - Its fibres are strong, elastic,
resistant to wrinkling, lose very little
strength when wet, -wash easily and
dry quickly.
There -are four chief types of rayon,
manufactured by different processes:
1. Nitro or Ghardonnet rayons, such
as Tubize; 2. Cuprammonium rayons
Bemberg; 3. Viscose rayons --Vis-
cose; 4. Acetate rayons — Celanese.
They are all made from wood! pulp or
cotton linters, or both. Their fibres.
are stronger than wool but weaker
than cotton. They hold dyes well.
White fabrics 'remain white. How-
ever, rayon lose from 40-60% -of their
strength when wet.
Like all delicate materials, synthe-
tic fabrics should be handled care-
fully when washed. Do not rub or
twist, and do not pin to -a clothesline.
Washing Delicate Fabrics
1. Use lukewarm water as sonic fib-
res melt at a high temperature.
2. Use plenty of water which Iias had
pure soap thoroughly dissolved in
it.
8. Squeeze, suds through the material;
do not rub. Articles which are
dirty will require a second suds.
4. Rinse thoroughly in warm water
(not cold). Rinse in two waters
at least.
5. Because rayons stretch when wet,
they must be wrung out carefully,
with electric wringer released
considerably.
6. Roll delicate articles in a turkish
towel and knead out moisture,
Then hang in a shady place—a-
. way from excessive heat.
7. Iron on. the wrong side with a
moderately hot iron. The electric
set at 'rayon' or 300 degrees

Against Storing of Lead
Increased amounts of calcium in

lead ingested in the normal diet,
Ludwig G. Lederer, M. 11., and
Franklin C. Bing, Ph. D., Chicago,
conclude in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, from
their investigations on young `white
rats.
The authors point out that traces
of lead are present in practically all
common .foods that have been ex-
amined, and that lead must there-
fore be considered a potential haz-
ard to health, since even minute
amounts may be detrimental to
health if they accumulate in the

In :spite of the fact that these or-
ders were issued some time ago there
are many yet who are unprepared,
'We have not clone anything yet.
Prof. Hans A. Bethe of Cornell
university, Ithaca, N. Y., has taken
u us deeper into the heart of the sun's
blazing furnaces than anyone has
'done before.
e I He, and other scientists, appear
x to have completely solved this mys-
r_ tery: what keeps the sun burning?
e'The answer is: it is the transmu-
tation of hydrogen atoms into helium
-
!atoms which releases the tremen-
er'dous solar energy. Carbon plays an
e important part in this process, so
the complete operation is known as
! the carbon cycle, which takes 6,000,-
e 000 years,
e All this has been going on for
e some 2,000,000,000 years: and will
d continue for another 10,000,000,000
d ' years. Then, say these scientists,
the sun will turn into a cold body,
I a planet smaller than its own plan-
` et, Jupiter. The earth, says Bethe,
- !was formed by the expulsion of ma-
terial from the sun when that body
of was really much cooler than now,

theories mean that between two to

formed.

Synthetic Substances
Sex hormones from soy beans and
from coal tar and natural gas were
among sensational new synthetic
substances announced to a research
conference on organic chemistry at
Stanford university.
In addition, Dr. L. I. Fieser of
Harvard university told the confer-
ence that he and.his associates had
discovered a new synthetic vitamin
possessing the properties of both vi-
tamin E (muscle-proteotion) and vi-
�tamin K (anti -hemorrhage).
Among other .recent syntheses,
great interest has been aroused in
a substitute for quinine developed
by Professors Dorothy Thompson
and Maude Marshall of Wheaton col-
lege. The substance is a compound
of a sulfanilamide derivative of car-
bozole. It still awaits final tests.
Device for Deliecting Glare
An attorney of Sumter, S. C., has
recently obtained a patent on a
device for automobiles that reflect
car lights over the head of the driver
and at the same time gives him
clear visibility on meeting a bright-
ly lighted automobile traveling in
the opposite direction. Harmon D.
Moise, who layls claim to this in-
vention, explains the device as be-
ing a thin, transparent device, at-
tachable to an automobile wind-
' shield, which is glued to the inside
of the windshield, with the thin edge
downward, deflecting the light rays
upward over the driver's head. The

Beggars Not Only Thieves
When we think of thieves, we re-
call to mind a group af: rough, un-
couth men who snatch -property from
unsuspecting victims. But the great
mass of stealing; under the head of
Grand Larceny that is done today is
done by respectable (?) white-collar
people. Often the thief is a college
graduate, has a respectable family
and pays his bills on time. Usually
these thieves are not actually in
need of money but take it to buy
luxuries of some; sort or to gamble.

Microscope Sees Things
a Without Help of Light!
For men's deepest thrust into the,
infinitesimal, he can thank a micro-
scope that sees things without the:
help of light. This is the electron'
microscope; With it; in Camden,
N, J., Berlin, London, Toronto and)
Pasadena scientists studied things!
00 times. smaller than they could'
see a decade ago.
With microscopes using visible or
ultra -violet light, magnifications of)
a sort up to 5,000 diameters have'
been obtained, but the really useful)
upper limit has hovered around'
2,000 diameters. With microscopes:
using electron beams, useful magni-
fications have jumped to 100,000 di-
ameters and more. Light is a train)
of waves; to pick some tiny body
out of the unseen, the waves must,
find it big enough to get hold of.!!'
If the body is much smaller than!
the wave length, it will slip through'
like a mosquito through a fishing'
net. Electron beams are also wave
trains, but their wave lengths are,
thousands of times shorter than,
those of light. So, in effect, theyl
give scientists a collecting net of
far finer mesh. -
High electronic magnifications:
(105,000' diameters) of vinylchloridei
polymer, a rubberlike synthetic,'
show a mottling of dots which sci-
entists assume to be actual mol-
ecules; 25,000 -diameter pictures of:
soft face -powder granules reveal the
jagged ' projections - which make
them ding to the skin. Electron'

Twenty Ton Stones Dug
From Earth in Mexico
For years natives of southern
Mexico have told stories of mon-
strous - stone heads buried in the
earth. In 1938 Matthew William
Stirling, heading a joint expedition
of the Smithsonian institution and,
the National Geographic society, un-
earthed in Vera Cruz a carved stone
head six feet high. Last year, hack-
ing around in the Tabasco jungle,
he discovered five more heads, sev-
eral bigger than the Vera Cruz find.
Recently the National Geographic
society released a picture of one of
them, estimated to weigh 20 tons
or more. It is 8 feet 1 inch high,
20 feet, 10 inches around. Flat-
faced, blunt -featured, almost ear -
less, capped by a queer headpiece,
It looks something like a subthyroid
football player,
The diggers do not know how old
the great faces are, who carved
thern or what their significance
was. They will try to find out.
They guess that the carvings must
have served some purpose in awe-
some religious rites, The heads
have no apparent kinship with any
known Mayan sculpture. Biggest
mystery: Tabasco heads are made
of basalt, and the nearest known
source of basalt is 100 miles away.
The people who made them must
have done a tall job of transporta-
tion.
Gibbons Almost Human
A three-month study in Siamese
forests of the Gibbon, least known
of the apes, showing that this ani-
mal may be man's closest relative,
has been announced at Pennsylvania
State college.
Gibbons are little fellows, 12
pounds being around 'top weight.
But, this report shows, they have a
real family life, they all but own
property as individuals, and if they
are going to fight they first do a
lot of loud talking.
They cannot be said to have a
code of morality on the human
scale, yet the parallel is remarkably
close. The males in general showed
a tendency to stick to one mate.
Isolated males in what resembled
the bachelor status were seen, also
groups of aged males, who kept to-
gether like members of a club.
The family groupings and habits
of life appeared such that para-
mours from the outside were unlike-
ly to get in. This is in contrast to
the promiscuity of some other
branches of the monkey family.
'Sand Soaps'
Health _News, official bulletin of
the New 'York state department of
health, recently noted that "sand
soaps" used by factory workers
were often more damaging to -the
skin than industrial irritants, offered
the following cleansing formula:
"Equal parts of sulfonated neat's
foot oil and liquid petrolatum con-
taining 25 per cent gelatin .. . are
added' to white granulated corn meal
in the proportion of Pk parts, by
weight, of corn meal and 1 part, by
weight, of the oil mixture. To pre-
vent growth of mold or bacteria a
0.5 solution of chlorobutanol is -
added."
