Stay on the conservative side in fa
vor of freshness. Chemicals are
cheaper than films.
THIRD—Be fussy about using a
thermometer. All solutions should
be kept as near as possible to a
temperature of 65 degrees Fahren
heit.
FOURTH—Use a clock to time de
velopment. Too short development
reduces contrast, and too long in
creases it.
FIFTH—Standardize on a method
of agitation. The average worker
does this in tray developing by keep
ing the solution moving with a non-
directional rocking motion.
But
with tank development, it is easy to
shake or jiggle the tank three times
during development on one occasion,
and on the next, shake it six times.
The result is that the contrast and
density of the negative agitated six
times is greater than the one agi
tated three times. If consistent re
sults are expected, this factor ab
solutely must be standardized.
Deaf Persons Learn to
Hear Through Toes, Teeth
Through your toes, your teeth, or
even your funny bone, you can learn
to hear.
And a score of men and women
afflicted with deafness had proved
it at the University of Southern Cali
fornia, where they were “guests” at
the nation’s first class in rehabilita
tion of the hard of hearing.
Under the direction of Dr. B. V.
Morkovin, noted psychologist and
scientist, they learned to use a sci
entific mechanism known as the
Phipps unit, which transmits sounds
on the principle of bone induction.
“Through development of the oth
er senses we teach the various
methods by which the deaf can ad
just themselves to their condition
and be compensated for their weak
hearing," said Dr. Morkovin, inven
tor of the technique of using motion
pictures to aid in teaching lip read
ing.
As an expert on hearing, the pro
fessor noted that 50 per cent of the
soldier and civilian casualties in
bomb-torn cities suffer either total
or partial loss of hearing from the
shattering concussion.
"That’s why our work even has its
national defense side,” he explained.
"Should a similar situation come to
pass here, we would be able to
alleviate suffering by teaching the
war deaf literally to feel in their
mouths what others say to them—
even though they cannot hear.”
Borrowed Time Club
A strange organization entitled
“Borrowed Timers” exists in Eilen
burg, Wash. Every one of its mem
bers has been marked for death by
his doctor. Not one has reached
the obituary column since the start
of the organization in 1936,
.
They are a nonsectarian, self-gov-
erning and self-supporting group of
young and middle-aged people living
beyond the life spans predicted for
them by their physicians.
•
- As the club grew, it imposed a
few limitations on membership. One
is that 90 days must elapse, after a
physician has predicted the time of
death before a candidate can be
come eligible. This is to: "1. Soft
en the blow of a physician’s tragic
words. 2. To offer encouragement
to the newly doomed. 3. To create
a desire to live in the condemned
and incite a mental and physical
effort to remain among the living.”
The hardest obstacle the club had
to overcome was a periodic lagging
of spirits and a tendency to “give
up.” But this, too, was conquered
by courage.
Booing Schools
A campaign to discourage the
practice of “booing" by Geneva, Ill.,
school children has been started by
Harry M. Coultrap, superintendent
of Geneva schools.
He distributed bulletins to teach
ers, urging them to address their
pupils a few minutes each day on
the un-American habit of "booing,”
which reached a new high during
the last election. He said:
“Teachers will be asked to en
courage our children to be polite, re
spectful and tolerant of all persons
and their opinions. A chaotic state
will result and mob rule may de
velop if ‘booing’ is not stopped. The
foundation of our democracy is tol
erance, and we must practice it in
all things. The children must be
taught to forget the ‘booing.’ by
grown persons they heard over the
radio in the recent election cam
paigns.”
Tea Consumption in U. 8.
America is fast becoming a nation
of tea-drinkers to vie with Great
Britain, according to latest figures
of the U. S. department of agricul
ture. During the last year, more
than 100,000,000 pounds of tea were
imported into the United States—a
14,000,000-pound increase over the
previous year.
