States during the past year. The designs were created from flowers picked by the manufacturer from his,. own garden in the midst of. moorland made familiar to the world by "Wuthering Heights." The . flowers were sketched and in- corporated in two patterns named after the home of the manufacturer and that of a fellow director. In de- sign and colouring they were so successful that a group of promi- nent American carpet manufacturers asked to see them displayed in New York. During last year, trade with the United States was so good that the makers of :these carpets sold more than four times asmany'Aiiminster piece goods ' and Broadloom plain Wilton as in 1939, The flowers of Yorkshire are now being arranged in other designs..

The March of Science TELEPHOTO TRANSMITS MILITARY MAPS Maps, key to all military situa- tions, can now be sent over tele- phone wires from general head- quarters to divisional headquart- ers during active warfare. The results of the latest aerial sur- vey of enemy positions can be made available to the fighting forces within a few minutes after the map -maker has completed his drawing! This miracle is accom- plished by telephoto. Developed as a result of re- search in Bell Telephone Labora- tories, the art of sending pictures, charts, and diagrams by wire has been in general commercial use for several years. Many of the pic- tures of far-off events seen in your newspaper have reached you so quickly because of telephoto. Now, this amazing development is ready to take its place in the bat- tle line! The essential element in tele- photo is the "electric eye" or photo -electric cell. A picture or map which is to be transmitted is mounted on a roller in the send- ing apparatus. As the roller re- volves at 100 times a minute, a tiny light one-hundredth of an inch square moves over the pic- ture. Dark and light areas in the photograph are translated by a photo -electric eye into electrical impulses flashing over the wires of the telephone system at the rate of 100,000 impulses a minute. At the receiving station, the impulses are turned back into light, exposing a negative mount- ed on another roller, turning at exactly the same speed as the one on the sending machine. A pic- ture eight inches by ten inches takes eight minutes to run. The negative is developed in less than half an hour, so that in about 40 minutes a complete reproduction of the original picture has been received, perhaps thousands of miles away from the sending ma- chine. Moreover, the picture can he sent to several receiving machines at once. The Associated Press telephoto network covers more than 30 stations in the United States and Canada, and if neces- sary, a picture can be sent to every one of them at the same time. Few people are aware that portable telephoto sending apps. ratus can operate from any tele- phone. The photographer merely places an ordinary long distance call to the number where the re- ceiving equipment is located. When the connection has been es- tablished, the portable sending machine is adjusted to the mouth- piece of the telephone transmit- ter, and the picture is on its wayl By means of this portable equip- ment, pictures taken in the midst of storm and flood have been transmitted almost from the spot where they were taken. Thus, in time of peace, the telephoto system has proved its ability to operate under the most rigorous conditions. It is ready to meet the most exacting re- quirements encountered in time of war. rNo. 8 .4 a aeries prepared by H, G.

Seaforth Overseas Committee, c/o E. C. Boswell.—Today I received your very useful and pleasant gift. Believe me it sure hit the spot as most of the items cannot be bought. Being in the hospital it cheered me up to know that the good old town was carrying on just as usual. Ed Daly was up for visit this afternoon and I think he got just as much of a kick out of the parcel as I did myself. Anyway, we sure enjoyed opening it and couldn't help but remark to each other of the kindness from the people back home, Thanks a million and best of luck to all. HAROLD PREF.
