WHAT MEN LIVE BYr 0 Lord,
by these things men live, and in all
these things is the life of my spirit;
so wilt thou recover me, and make
me to live. Isaiah 88:16.
GREAT PROGRESS
A full-time home demonstration
agent, a full-time welfare officer, a
full-time health nurse, all beginning
work for at least one year on the
first of July!
We are maidiig progress in Per
quimans. A year ago the women of
Perquimans County were doing ev
erything in their power to persuade
the Board of County Commissioners
to provide a home demonstration
agent, It looked pretty hopeless a
year ago. The women had appeared
time and again with their request,
but to be told that there wasn't
sufficient funds.
Last fall a half-time agent was
provided for Perquimans by the Ex
tension Department of the State
of North Carolina. Fortunately for
every one concerned, Miss Gladys
Hamrick, the agent sent, in spite of
the fact that she had to work at a
disadvantage, working only half the
time in Perquimans County, was able
to demonstrate to the women of the
county something of what it would
really mean to have a full-me
agent. She was also able to con
vince the commissioners as to the
quality of her services, so much so
that when the Board was approached
at the end of the period and asked
to make the necessary appropriation
the arrangement was agreeable to
every one.
Observation of the quality of the
work done by Miss Ruth Davenport
since she was sent into the county a
few months ago by the Welfare De
partment of the State of North Caro
lina to work as assistant to the Wel
fare Officer, has also been convincing
to the public as well as to the Board
of County Commissioners. When
asked to appropriate the necessary
funds to provide a full time welfare
officer they did not hesitate.
Perquimans County needs a home
demonstration agent. It also needs
a welfare officer. The Perquimans
Weekly is gratified that the commis
sioners realize this need. However,
but for the fact that these two young
women, whose work is in no way
connected, not only had been fully
trained and qualified for their respec
tive jobs but had demonstrated inter
est and enthusiasm in the work, the
farm women of Perquimans County
would have been a long time con
vincing the commissioners that there
was any need for a home demon
stration agent, and there would have
been no full time welfare officer.
They work in different fields, Miss
Davenport and Miss Hamrick. Miss
Hamrick's work takes her Into the
homes of many of the most prominent
and prosperous people in the county.
Miss Davenport will find her work
chiefly among the under-privileged
class. Each has splendid possibilities
of service. The county is fortunate
in having a home demonstration
agent and a welfare officer. Let's
give them whatever support and as
sistance we may.

R.1ED BULLETS KOV
SURELY IDENTIFIED
New Instruments Perfected
at Northwestern MU.W
Evanston, DL Two new Instru
ments which improve and facilitate
existing methods of identifying fired
bullets have been constructed in
Northwestern University's Scientific
Crime Detection laboratory by
Charles M. Wilson, research engi
neer and assistant professor of po
lice science. , I f. 4' V
Details of the instruments which
embody new principles in the sci
ence of ballistics are announced m
the Journal of, Criminal Law and
Criminology, a unhrersit publica
tion. With the aid of the new devices,
crime foes will be able to obtain fac
tual evidence from a fired bullet with
virtually the same degree of accu
racy which the bertillon expert ex
acts from fingerprint measurements.
Many Dlmeultles Before.
Methods of determining the" char
acteristics of a fired bullet and trac
ing it back to the gun that fired it
have heretofore been confronted
with numerous difficulties and sub
ject to error.
It is to overcome these handicaps
that the Northwestern university
scientist has constructed the instru
ments, one called a variable stage
micrometer and the other an incli
nometer. The micrometer is a delicate in
strument which measures the width
of land and groove impressions on
fired bullets to an accuracy of five
ten-thousandths of an inch. It re
duces the possibility of error of
measurement of certain character
istics of fired bullets.
By means of this instrument the
following characteristics of a fired
bullet can be obtained; maximum
diameter of the bullet and width of
land and groove impressions. The
instrument is so constructed that it
can be clamped into position on the
stage of a microscope. ,
Errors Are Reduced.
The inclinometer, like its com
panion piece reduces errors of meas
urements made in the examination
of fired bullets. It reveals the "rate
of twist" of the gun barrel from
whence a bullet came. By twisting
a bullet slowly around under the
magnifying lens this information
can be obtained..
This is an extremely important
phase of ballistics since various
makes of firearms employ different
rifling. The "twist" in some bar
rels makes a complete turn in 16
inches, others require 18 inches.
The instrument consists of a spe
cial compound microscope equipped
with special stage so arranged that
elements of lateral displacement
and rotation may be accurately
measured.
New principles embodied in the
Wilson inclinometer dispense with
triginometric computations required
in existing methods. The determi
nation of the angle of twist is thus
reduced to a simple arithmetical
problem which can be solved by
mere inspection of the rotational
and lateral displacements so meas
ured. College Youth la Fine
Poet and Paper-Hanger
Evanston, 111. A twenty-year-old
paper-hanging sophomore at North
western university won critics'
praise with his first book of poems,
"Landscape With Figures."
The wall paper, said the poet, Li
onel Wiggam of Indianapolis, had
nothing to do with the title, for he
disdained the modern touch. Wig
gam said he was distinctly ortho
dox. But orthodox was not the word
his professors used to describe him.
They long since gave up trying to
make him study courses that bored
him. When classes were run, Wig
gam went to them. And only then.
Paper hanging was just one of
those things a poet sometimes must
do to live. Wiggam did it to earn
his way through his freshman year.
He was also a waiter and a janitor.
Between jobs, he won prizes for his
verse. His money gave out and he
quit college.
Back home, he found inspiration
as a truck driver, a farm hand, a
road builder and art model, and
turned out rhymes for leading mag
azines. This year he went back to North
western, financed by a scholarship
in the school of speech. There, under
the friendly wing of Lew Sarett,
famed woodsman and poet, he en
tertains classes with his verses.

"Most of the small town papers
are 'weeklies,' but yours, in my
opinion, is a regular weekly," writes
John L. Blanchard.
Well, it may be that Mr. Blanch
ard's opinion is a little biased by
the fact that he is way out in Den
ver and a long long way from home,
and his feeling may be based on the
old principal that "A yellow dog
from home would look good." At the
