BUSINGS STANDARDS : -
ARE ,RAISED; M '■
Four business men of. Datnville re- j'
cently spoke before the Kiwanis Club
on business ~ standards. , Ope ( tyjld of.;
how itit-tM'oat niethpds are. giving
way "to* Cooperation. Another spoke
of the inter-dependence of business
men. Another referred to the pro
fessional ethics of physicians as ap
plicable >t6 business. Another discuss
ed the luncheon clubs as helping in
the observance of the golden rule in
business.
The time has passed when there is
any application of the old excuse
that "all's fair in love and war" to
business.
Business men work together
through boards of commerce and
through committees of citizens to
bring about the advancement of the
city in which they live. They work
together in credit associations. Of
ten those who are rivals in one bus-
iness are associates in another. ■
Luncheon clubs have helped. De
velopment of community spirit has
helped.,, Business men of today value
the confidence and friendship of their
competitors. They do not try to
dersell" each other by underhanded
methods. When occasion demands
they worki together, cooperating for
the common good. All of which is
an indication of progress and develop
ment, not only in business but in the
world in which business is so im-
portant a factor. —Danville Kentucky
Messenger.

'GROW' CRYSTALS IN
STUDY OF MAGNETICS
Remarkable Results of Research
Regarding Material Used in
Teleohone Anoaratus
When one thinks of growing any
product for its usefulness, he
thinks immediately of farm prod
ucts, plants and animals. Growing
iron crystals seems strange, yet
the Bell Telephone Laboratories
have been doing it for some
time, in apparatus designed speci
ally for that purpose. An iron wire
is passed through the apparatus,
and comes out a single crystal—a
crystal a quarter inch in diameter
and as much as two feet long.
iron is made up of a
grfcat ' number Of crystals which
may be of either of two forms, one
stable above 900® C and the other
/ ijfiait temperature. Crystal
growth is accomplished by heating
electrically, a changing section of
wire,} which is moved slowly
through two contact cups contain
ing mercury. As the wire moves,
a section is constantly being heat
ed and another is constantly cool
i ing; at all times a very thin cross
| section ; in the cooling zone is
just passing through 900® C.
An original crystal on the cold
side of this section, no matter
how small, then grows by attach
ing to itself atoms as fast as they
drop through 900° and thereby are
released from the hot form of crys-
tal in which they hacl been held.
When the whole wire has been
heated and cooled in this manner,
atoms from the entire length have
attached themselves to one par
ticular crystal, which has grown
;■ correspondingly.
} j Studies in magnetization give
the explanation of the whole pro.
cedure. If magnetic properties of
a single crystal can be measured,
information will be obtained of
value, perhaps of great value, re
garding iron and other magnetic
materials so -much used in tele
phone apparatus.
Just received, splendid new line
of fall felt hats, in all the latest
shapes, shades and! colors. Mrs. E. E.
McCurry.
