Shiloh than you can learn today about the battle of Moscow. They are members of Indiana's dwindling contingent of the Grand Army of the Republic, the young fellows who preserved the Union in 1865. And although now all are over 90, the chances are that they told white lies about their age to get in that war. But they're not alone in ‘the twilight. The old warriors are buoyed up by organizations of their sons, and their women, bands of patriotic, determined people who insist that the last days of the veterans shall be spent: in peace, and the memory of their sacrifices perpetuated. ” t J f J

ONE OF THESE GROUPS is called the Women’s Relief Corps, and its purposes has changed with the passing of its beneficiaries. The Corps was organized 1883, and the expressed purposes was to care for indigent Civil War veterans and their families, At that time of course, there were scores of thousands of veterans still alive, and the Relief Corps found itself doing a big job. But the old fellows have been slipping away gradually, - until there are but 34 veterans of the

diana, and a little more than 1100 in the nation.

AND SO THE CORPS found that its work has gradually been turned into a work of perpetuating the memory of those who have died, rather than helping the survivors. In the last few years, the Women’s Relief Corps has concentrated on presenting flags to schools and other groups, so that the spirit of patriotism might be kept alive among forgetful people. Another part of the corp’s duties is decorating the graves: of the veterans May 30. All of the five different posts of the City band together on that day, and decorate the 2000 veterans’ graves in Crown Hill Cemefery. Then each post takes a separate cemetery, and does likewise there. The Alvin P. Hovey Post, for instance, has taken the responsibility of decorating the 400 graves of veterans in the) Mt. Jackson Cemetery each year. | The Corps, unlike other organi-

LIKE THE GRAND ARMY, the Relief Corps finds that its membership is dwindling, but not so fast. There are still several hundred members of the Corps in Indianapolis alone.

He is said to have found evidence of plates made sensitive to light by. a chemical process at least that far back. “Among the ruins of ancient Nineveh, in burying places of old Egypt, and in the houses of Pompeii, lens-shaped pieces of glass have been discovered. Aristophanes, the Greek playwright who lived in the fifth century B. C., knew something about lenses, as did Euclid, the mathematician of Alexandria, who studied refration of light about 300 B.
