PEEP SHOW AND PHONOGRAPH TO SHOW EXCAVATORS IN 8113 WHAT 20TH CENTURY WAS LIKE ATLANTA, adaptation of an ordinary penny peep show machine and a phonograph may give archeologists of 8113 A.

K. Peters, a former news reel photographer and moving picture man. It will be placed in Oglethorpe of civilization," the founders of which expect it to be opened by the inhabitants of this planet 6,175 years hence. Date for the opening of the crpyt was chosen, Peters explained, because in 1936, the year the crypt was started, 8113 A. D.

was the same distance in the future as the fixed date in 4241 B. was in the past. The Egyptian calander is supposed to date from that year. The crypt, when completed, will be a large rustproof steel vault of specially sealed micro-photographic records in metal of all phases of twentieth-century culture and knowledge. It also will contain models of typical machines, specimens of food and clothing and other objects.

Modern Rosetta Stone While Peters, now a member of the Oglethorpe staff, and Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, president of the university, worked on the crpyt, it occurred to them that English might not be spoken or known in 8113 A. D. They thought of the Rosetta Stone, an inscribed slab of basalt which Egyptians erected as a key to their language and civilization. Although this stone, discovered in 1799 near Rosetta, Egypt, solved the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics, it required several decades to decipher.

So Peters decided to remove any such difficulty for the finders of the Oglethorpe crypt by making a Rosetta He obtained a mutoscope (peep show) and now is equipping it with rustproof gears and bearings and connecting it up with a phonograph. When a crank is turned, pictures of objects with their names in English will appear on non-corrosive metal sheets in the machine and a voice from a carefully preserved metal phonograph record will name the objects. The device, called a integrator," will be placed inside the strong steel door of the crypt. An arrow, picture symbols and simple numbers will indicate its purpose and operation. Confusions Avoided The first thing it will reproduce when the crank is turned will be the alphabet with each letter carefully pronounced.

Then will come pictures, names and spoken symbols of thousands of common objects. Peters explained that care is being taken to have the visual and spoken symbols of objects perfectely synchronized in the apparatus. would not do for a cog to slip in the he said. would not want the discoverers of the crypt to see the picture and name of a watermelon, for instance, and hear it called a football. We will see that such a thing does not The Oglethorpe crypt may be dedicated in 1940.

TEXAS TAX RECEIPTS REACH $183,400,000 of the Texas State Government the first IO months of the current fiscal year amounted to more than $183,400,000 and came within $9,000,000 of the total collected the entire previous fiscal year, Comptroller George H. Sheppard announced today. The receipts were from the following tax sources: Motor fuel, cigaret, ad valorem, inheritance, occupation liquor, wine, beer, franchise, gross receipts and miscellaneous. A newly developed airplane engine silencer is said to be 90 per cent effective. The silencer is shaped like a torpedo.

The older type of silencer was only 45 per cent efficient. COME TO SEE US FOR Fire Insurance You will find our service unexcelled in any respect.

C. RICHARDSON. Secretary Breeder-Feeder Association Suckling calves grow faster, weigh heavier at weaning time, shrink less from weaning, and are worth more per pound, when they have access to a grain ration while running on pasture with their dams. The grain is placed in a self-feeder fenced to exclude the cows and permit the calves to eat at will. Known as this practice has become quite common in the Southwest, and is generally profitable.

Now that oats and barley are in the bin creep-feeding can start; corn and grain sorghums will also soon be available. Both Texas and Oklahoma experiment stations have done research work on creep feeding, and will send their bulletins explaining the procedures and the results in detail on request. Since the farmer or ranchman is interested only in selling his crops and livestock to the best advantage, his own circumstances must decide whether creep feeding is a desirable practice. In general terms it may be said that creep feeding is always profitable if the grain feed is home grown, and especially so if the calves are to be sold as feeders. In Bee County, Texas, the creep fed feeder calves sold in the fall of 1937 weighed an average of IOO pounds more than other calves under the same range conditions, and sold at a better price per hundred, paying handsomely for the grain consumed.

On good pastures the contrast is not so great, one Oklahoma experiment showing a difference of only 39 pounds. The difference in price, in favor of the creep fed calves, however, would have still paid for the grain at market prices. The true cost of meat production by the farmer who grows both grain and livestock is not the price" of the grain, but the cost of producing the grain and turning it into meat. This may be higher, but is more likely to be lower than the formula would indicate; the farmer who feeds ins own grain at least cuts out the cost of hauling to town and the costs of ex- handling which all grain must bear if it goes through commercial channels. For this reason the loss" data in experiment station reports should not be literally applied to farm-feeding operations, either creep-feeding or finishing, where the farmer produces both the feed and the animals to consume it.

Creep-fed calves take to the dry lot finishing rations with less loss of weight at weaning than non-creep- fed calves, hut the latter tend to gain more rapidly in the finishing period. As a rule creep-fed calves will finish ahead of those not creep-fed, though there may be little difference in the final weights, if both are fed for the same length of time. The greatest benefits from creep- feeding will be shown in calves to be sold as feeders at or soon after weaning. The greatest gains occur when pastures are short. In a Texas range experiment in Webb County creep fed suckling calves gained 114 pounds more in 160 days than those not creep fed, and ate an average of 7 pounds of feed per day (4 parts ground milo heads, I part cottonseed meal).

This included what the cows ate while the calves were learning, which was for 43 days, enough to make them gain 50 pounds more than their less fortunate sisters on the range. Threshed grains are recommended for young calves, while older calves will handle ground ear corn or grain sorghum heads to advantage. Unless pastures are unusually green and abundant cottonseed meal or pea-size cake should compose one-seventh to one-fifth of the ration. A small amount of limestone flour or finely ground oyster shell in the ration is advisable, and bone meal may be mixed with the salt in equal parts to advantage. The self feeder should be placed near the watering place.

Those not familiar with self-feeders and creep-feeding practices can get helpful bulletins through county I agents. Ford Invents Saddle Motor For Use Over Rear Axle of Cars WASHINGTON Ford, still a prolific inventor, patented last week a new saddle motor to mount over the rear axle of passenger automobiles. The idea of a rear motor, which may result in drastic re-design of the automobile of the future just as busses have been revamped by transferring the motor from front to rear, is not a new one, the automobile manufacturer declared. However, he said in his patent application, the motor itself is a new development, in that it can be placed in the rear of pleasure cars without upsetting their delicate balance.

Their weight was almost entirely on one side and the driving gears at the other end of the axle. Considerable difficulty has been experienced with all driving units of like nature because of the difficulties in maintaining exact alignment between the various units comprising the assembly, Ford declared. In the new invention, he said, the cylinder block and crank shaft are mounted over one-half of the axle and the engine flywheel, clutch and other heavy parts are balanced over the other half with a rigid shaft connecting them. The driving gears, connected with the two balanced halves of the engine, are located exactly at the middle of the axle. Officials who read the patent declined to predict whether it would come into immediate use, pointing out that Ford was granted a patent on a rear-powered automobile about a year ago, but had not produced such a radical design.

They added, however, that he had apparently solved the problem of balancing a motor installed across un automboile instead of in line with its direction of motion. SCARE OVER DYNAMITE IN CAR FOLLOWED BY PURCHASE OF LICENSE SHERMAN. Discovery of six sticks of dynamite in a car he had halted Saturday night for not having license plates caused the eyes of City Marshal Chrisman of Bells to dilate, and he hastily arrested the three men in the car. With Deputy Sheriff Jim Messick, he hustled the three to the county jail. Upon investigation of their story, the three were released with apologies.

They were Whitewright men who had been blasting stumps on a farm near Kentuckytown. Chrisman said that the driver had agreed to purchase a license for the car.

Keith (Political Advt.) SELF SUFFICIENT Once upon a time there was a man who lived in a town, and spent all of his money away from home. He was sure that he could take care of himself, and that his town mean anything to him. After a few years, his business as keen as he had hoped it would be, his friends seem to think he was quite as important as he thought he was, and trade seemed to flow by his doors. He began to watch his competitor, who, he found, was an intelligent advertiser, a contributor to the public purse, a man anxious to give some of his time and thought to community projects, and a believer in the fact that it pays to keep money at home, where it can keep floating around between the stores and businesses there. And, after noting all these factors, he continued to wonder why some of his old customers went to the newcomer and why almost everybody had the idea that he was a tightwad and his competitor a public-spirited leader of community Victoria Advocate.
