Benjamin Franklin’s Will
Franklin’s last will is in the pro-
bate fjles of city hall in Philadel-
phia and his first will is in the pos-
session of the American Philosophi-
cal society. This second will how-
ever was lost to sight for many
years and turned up 20 years ago in
the hands of Arthur Pforzheimer,
a New York collector. According to
Dr. William Lingelbach, librarian
of the American Philosophical so
ciety, this is the first place in which
has been found a list of Franklin’s
personal possessions.

Scientist Measures Bloofi
Ejected in Beat of Heart
A simple method of measuring
the amount of blood ejected by
each beat of the heart has been
perfected by Dr. W. F. Hamilton,
professor of physiology, University
of Georgia. This is an important re-
search development, since it is
helpful for a physician to know the
output of the heart in a patient,
particularly since the height of
blood pressure is in part deter-
mined by the amount of blood the
heart must process.
Dr. Hamilton injects a known
amount of dye into a vein, then
collects a series of samples from a
needle thrust into an artery. The
greater the blood flow, the more
dilute is the dye in the arterial
sample. Comparison of the new
technique with older, more com-
plicated, ones in the same subjects
showed the measurements to be
nearly identical.
When the heart contracts and
blood is forced into the aorta, the
pressure in this vessel increases.
Measurement of the distensibility of
the aorta and the pressure change
from the heart beat lays the basis
for a calculation of the output of
the heart from the pressures gener-
ated in the aorta by the heart.
Dr. Hamilton is also studying the
role of the kidney in congestive
failure of the circulation—so-called
heart failure. Indications are that,
as the circulation fails, less oxygen
is available to the tissues. This sets
up, by an unknown mechanism, a
stimulus to the kidney to remove a
large quantity of salt and water
from the urine and pour it into the
blood. With a healthy heart, this
would increase the volume of blood
in the body and enable the circula-
tion to meet a temporary emer-
gency.
Infer-Planetary Rocket
improbable, Says Engineer
Developing a m a n-carrying
rocket capable of being flown to
the moon and back would be an
engineering task roughly equiva-
lent to designing a super aircraft
carrier, and would probably re-
quire a rocket about 500 feet long
and weighing about 2,000 tons, ac-
cording to a General Electric en-
gineer.
Warning that the prospect of an
inter-planetary rocket is “highly
improbable because of the fantastic
cost and the engineering problems,”
he asserted that if the national se-
curity depended upon it, the job
could probably be done.
The engineer, Dr. R. W. Porter,
said that to escape the gravity pull
of the earth, the rocket would have
to streak away from the earth’s
atmosphere' at about seven miles
per second, or roughly 25,200 miles
per hour.
An ordinary single-stage rocket,
such as the V-2 which has attained
an altitude of 114 miles, would lack
the necessary push to free it from
the earth’s pull, Dr. Porter said.
A two-stage rocket, however,
could probably break free of grav-
ity, he added. He described a two-
stage rocket as a sort of “duplex”
in which a smaller rocket is car-
ried by a larger one until the
larger has used all its fuel. It then
drops off and the smaller one con-
tinues under its own power.
'Rolling Stones'
Sure of Getting
Mail at Lew's
SEATTLE, WASH.—The only
privatelv owned and operated post
office in the United States began its
40th year on Seattle’s 3rd av. with
more than 700 seafarers and rolling
stones of every profession on its
rolls.
The proprietor, Lew Chlarson, a
retired contractor, isn’t exactly
competing with the United States
post office. He uses United States
stamps and gets three deliveries a
day from a standard mailman in
his cubicle lined office at the back
end of Raymer’s old bookstore.
“It’s a post office with a personal
touch,” Chlarson says.
The forwarding mail service for
travelers was started in 1909 by
Charles Raymer, who up to that
time had made a good thing of
selling books on prospecting to
miners bound for Alaska and man-
uals on fancy rope work to sailors
on shore leave.
Work Became Sideline
A friend stopped in at the store
one day to ask Raymer to handle
his mail while he was in Alaska
during the salmon season. The word
was passed along and Raymer was
soon licking, stamps by the gross,
with book selling coming in as a
sideline.
Lew Chlarson bought the book-
store and post office from Ray-
mer’s heirs and put his wife in
charge of the book department.
With the old rate of $3 per box per
year, Chlarson says he’s not get-
ting rich fast, but he maintains that
there is a certain fascination in fig-
uring postal rates to far away
places. Among other remote spots,
he now has customers holed up in
Wee Waa, New South Wales, Me-
dina, Saudi Arabia and Santiago,
Chile.
If a box holder doesn’t send in a
forwarding address for a year or
so, Chlarson piles the overflow ac-
cumulation in the basement. He has
learned from experience not to give
up any of his customers for dead.
Lost Two Got Mail
A few months after V-J day,
three seamen who had been listed
as missing in action by the mari-
time serviee showed up to claim
their mail and got* it. The trio had
been in a Japanese prison camp for
most of the war.
Some customers have held the
same box for over 35 years, but
box 13 changes hands every few
months, Chlarson says.
Forwarding addresses are kept
in strict confidence according to
postal regulations, but Chlarson ad-
mits sadly that the rule has ended
many a romance.
“Girls come in here quite a bit to
find out where their sailors have
gone. All I can do is tell them to
write him a letter in care of the
wanderers’ mail service.”
After observing the trend back
over the years, Chlarson concludes
that “more and more people are
going farther and farther away
from home today.”

Forage Seeding
Bromegrass is best seeded with
alfalfa by® mixing the brome with
the grain and seeding from the
main drill box. Three to five pounds
of brome is enough where the grass
seed is sown shallow. Removal of
the large hoses from the drill when
fertilizer has been applied prior
to seeding, allows the lighter grass
seed to sift off to the side of the
disks when drilling. It lands on top
of the soil while most of the grain
will still fall through the shoe. Six
to eight pounds of alfalfa with
bromegrass or a like amount of
June clover seeded with two to
three pounds of timothy makes a
good seeding where the seed is
planted shallow and slightly cov-
ered by cultipacking or dragging.

Railroad Stops Big Train
To Give Gat to Young Girl
OXFORD, LA.—A railroad
stopped its passenger train at this
little Louisiana town to give a girl
a tomcat. The girl had baked a
cake for the railroad.
The cat went to 13 year old
Marlene Wendt, replacing one
which was killed by a Texas &
Pacific locomotive.
The presentation was made by
the engineer of the train which
ran over Marlene’s dead pet. Other
railroaders were present.
Marlene invited the railroad men
to the store owned by her father,
W. H. Wendt, to try a cake with
chocolate icing she had baked.
“I like the cat,” said Marlene.
“He looks just like Cinder, my
other cat. I’m going to name him
T & P.
The girl wrote the Texas & Pa-
cific railroad saying:
“Dear sir: My cat was killed by
one of your engines. He was a black
cat named Cinder. I would appre-
ciate another cat.”
The railroad thought that one
over a few days.
“In the near future we will see
that you have a cat to replace
Cinder,” the line wrote to Marlene.
Employes of the railroad scur-
ried around to find a cat to suit
Marlene. “Cinder didn’t have any
white whatsoever,” she had said
in a second letter. “Cinder was a
big pet. I mean you could pick
him up any time and pet him.”
The railroad finally found a suit-
able animal and arranged for a
train to stop here for presentation
ceremonies.
Keep Worries to Yourself;
They’re Catching, Says Doc
CHICAGO.—Blues are catching.
That’s what a Washington psychia-
trist, Dr. Benjamin Karpman says.
He declares that emotional ten-
sion is “something we catch,” like
measles, from other people.
Many people, he said, “are
driven into anxieties, depressions
or other unbearable states of ten-
sion,” by behavior in others.
“That,” he added, “is one of the
reasons why we so readily suc-
cumb to war propaganda.”

can put part of their grain in government loan.
Can Buy Some Wheat
The firm is in position to purchase some wheat as
there is a steady demand from milling firms and other
users. See us if you wish to sell all or part of your wheat.
No Green Wheat
No green wheat can qualify for government loan.
Please, do not offer us green wheat.
