Lincoln’s Desk Still in Use
CENTRALIA, 111., </P)—A desk
Abraham Lincoln used in study
ing law in Illinois’ capital more
than 100 years ago may be seen
in a lumber yard office at Gol
conda on the Ohio River. The
useful desk still is in good repair.

Office and books available to the
young Lincoln, who studied at the
desk. Sloan retired with his office
furniture to Golconda. The desk
was purchased by the late Jim
Walker, lumberyard owner, who
put the desk to use in his office.'
NEW TECHNIQUE MAKES
WATCHES MORE ACCURATE
NEW YORK, </p) — American
watchmakers have developed a
new microscopic technique to in
sure further accuracy in the man
ufacture of fine watches.
It involves the attaching of a
delicate hairspring to a collet or
“spool” which controls the rate
at which the balance wheel os
cillates. An “eye-dropper” was
designed to apply adhesive to the
bonding surface.
Since the collet slot is about the
thickness of a human hair, so little
adhesive is used that a teaspoon
ful will last an operator more
than a week.
Built In Death Lurks In
Steel Tubing Salvaged
From German Arsenal
BEEDENBOSTEL, Germany, (JP)
—Death lurks in the walls of this
small village in the north German
moorlands. Beedenbostel and some
other small hamlets in the vicinity
have been seized by the jitters
since Richard Germer died in his
locksmith workshop after a seem
ingly harmless steel tube he was
forging blew up in a violent blast.
Germer’s death meant the begin
ning of many sleepless nights to
villagers who took thousands of
those steel tubes from a nearby
Wehrmacht ammunition depot
shortly after the war. The tubes
soon were traded on the black
market and some local builders
bought them to reinforce walls
of small farm-houses.
Others were used to fence off
pastures or flower-gardens. Re
sults of an investigation into Ger
mer’s death chilled the bones of
many a farmer.
The “steel tubes” were special
explosives used by German engin
eers in the war against Russia.
Authorities found out that farmer
H. Hoppenstedt from nearby En
deholz had fenced off his cattle
with 120 such explosive tubes.
They said lightning striking into
the fence would have set off an
atomic-like chain explosion.

torio Emmanuel in 1946.
"ANGLED" FLIGHT DECKS
FOR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Washington and London official
sources have jointly announced
plans to build ‘angled flight decks’
on United States and possibly
British aircraft carriers.
The new decks are expected to
increase safety by permitting a
somewhat diagonal landing par
ticularly useful in landing jet
planes.
