This is the time for . Rev. W. J. H. Smyth, pastor of A Vision in Brass You never saw a man so out of place in a machine shop. He was old, but he had young blue eyes that kept a schoolboy look in them. Yet he must have lived long enough to have aden all the cruelty and wickedness of ife 5 For some strange reason machinists stopped swearing when he came near, Not that old Joseph ever showed the slightest disapproval of anything or anyone. Always a curiously sweet half-smile was on his face. He worked in the foundry before he was lamed.- One day the big ladle was swinging down ithe main aisle over their heads when a chain broke, the ladle tipped and the white-hot metal poured out in a cascade of fire, It trapped a negro who ran into a corner for shelter, covering his face with his hands so that he could not see the tide of white-hot metal coming at him, Joseph leaped over the stream, tore the nigger's. hands away from his face, pushed him up a huge casting and then pulled himself up. But his right foot was one second too late. The flood gripped it--and the foot was gone, He lay across the casting with the screaming nigger boy beside him. When they got to Joseph he was unconscious. Perhaps it was this episode that made the mién love Joseph. Or might have been their recognition of a mys- terious, magical quality or power he possessed of seeing to the heart of things. - I For thstance, there was the occasion when he undertook to show his shop- mates how to look though a piéce of brass. It was a hot summer night. The night gang had knocked: off at mid- night for a half-hour of food and rest. Most of them were clustered around the big planer listening to Jerry Brinker, a hot-headed youngster who was kicking about his work. "I'm sick o' this job--damned sick of, it. The same old thing. -Put.a piece of brass in a lathe, let 'er run, take it out and do that all night long, That's no job for a man. A man ought to make things." Some men laughed, others shrugged their shoulders. But all were sympathetic--all felt what he could not express. -- Then old Joseph spoke. He had picked up a blueprint from Brinker's lathe and a piece of brass that had just been turned. It was part of a valve for a ship engine. "Jerry, would you like to through a piece of brass?" Curiosity wiped out the anger in Jerry's heart. - "Sure, Joseph, see. " The old man glanced up at the al- most perpendicular hands of the shop clock. There were just a few minutes left 'of the half-hour rest interval. "Come here Jerry! Look at this-- where the light hits the shiny brass. Look steadily. Don't even wink, Now, can you see what I can see! I can see that little spot of light getting bigger and bigger. Now it is taking on a new shape. It's a window in the lighthouse and the light is the morn- ing sun striking the glass." Jerry dropped a wink to a shop- mate, but he was interested. So were the others. Joseph had paused. He was staring at the brass like a man in a trance. . "Go on Joe," said one encouraging- ly. "Tell us what else you see." And Joe went on! "I see a sunrise. A stormy sun is shooting up with tropical speed. A heavy sea is hurling itself against a barrier of rocks, A tramp steamer, j the: Cassandra,' held fast by the saw- | th rock ridge, is being smashed to j pieces. There are several men cling- ing tothe aft-rail. A mountain of 'water sweeps over them. They are gone. The ship is breaking in two. Now the whole aft section has slipped off the rocks into the boiling water." Old Joseph' turned his gaze to | Brinker, "You know, Jerry", he con- tinued, "the reason. I can see so much by looking through that piece of brass is because I was in that wreck. Only three men besides myself escaped. Sixty-one others died horribly there fighting for their lives--and all be- cause of a piece of brass just like this. "You see the engine died. She couldn't stand it when her propeller , lifted out of the water and raced. ! Something had to go. It was a valve. 'I knew thelone. It never did fit well. * "The man who made that valve did not look beyond the mere piece of brass to the purpose it would serve.He thought he was machining a'piece of metal only and He should have known he was making a valve for a ship engine in a storm. "Now look again at this piece of brass. Do you know what I see there now? I see bodies washed up on the sand--washed up on the sand, Dead ace Go ahead!

"And all because some workman somewhere--was it right here ?--was he using a lathe like yours, Jerry 7--all because some work- man. somewhere couldn't see through a piece of brass." . The rest interval was over. The men returned to- their, work. As he fitted] a piece of 'brass: in -his lathe Jerry turned for a moment to look after Joseph. Far down the east aisle he could ee him bending over his bench, smiling his old sweet smile, but completely absorbed in his work. | RY al st in-pn-ib CHEMISTRY HIRED MAN ON THE ] FARM Chemistry has changed agriculture, 3 modified farming and revolutionized productive methods, according to 'mn 5 article entitled "New Acres" by John |# Robitaille in the December issue of |} The article shows thats chemistry comes into the farmer's | picture even before the planting of | C-I-L. Oval. seed through use of the scientific test- ing of soil, the recommendation cf 3 special types of fertilizers for spec-|$ ialized crops, seed disinfecting and |§$ seed treatment to destroy spores of animal and vegetable parasites. Chemists have joined with the farmer to rid his crops and young plants of destructive insects through Ho the use of insecticides and fungicides. |§ The fruit farmer and orchardist have |g" reason to be thankful to the agricul-|§ tural ichemist for the discovery of a spray that permits heavy fruit to re- |g main on the trees until ripe for pick- ing instead of being at the mercy of wind, rain and hail. The article also points out that not |} only is chemistry aiding the farmer to raise bigger and better crops but is also pointing the way through the new science called chemurgy, to the cultivation of specialized crops that will be of prime importance in supply- | § ing many of the new raw materials re- quired by industry. Window Screens to be of Nylon Window screens that will not rust or require painting are a distinct pos- sibility when nylon again becomes available for peacetime uses, accord- ing to C-I-L chemists. The screen can be colored permanently by adding pigments of molten nylon, Fire Extinguishers Also Insetticide Many an airman owes his life and the preservation of his ajreraft to a very versatile chemical called methyl bromide, which was known on this continent in peacetime mainly as an insecticide. Besides its ability to de- stroy insect pests, methyl bromide was discovered to have some remark- able qualities as a fire extinguisher which make it superior to many better known fire-fighting chemicals for use in aircraft. Its main advantage is lightness of weight since extremely, small quantities of the chemical ard needed and the low working pressure required obviates the necessity for heavy steel cylinders, In addition it is a non-conductor of electricity and is very effective in smothering fires in- volving highly olatile liquids such as the high octane fuel used in bomber and fighter aircraft. Whatever its future in Canada may be, it is safe to predict that, having won its wings in war, methyl bromide will retain and enlarge its. role as a fire fighter in 'peace and will never again be thought of exclusively as a killer of insects. . \ I Robinson, Eddie Alberts, [ SER a tate Lawrence's Drug Store News "You Can BAVE With Safety at Your REXALL STORE" .
