Conversion. Flooring to gunstocks. Stocks for Army rifles. A large walnut slab, known as a flitch, is marked for the cutting out of sound planes for gunstocks. Light chalk marks indicate defects. Black marks are the outlines to which selected sections for "rifle furniture" will be cut. Because of knots, swirls, twisted grain and other faults, only a small percentage of the flitch can be used.

House leaders study president's message. Washington D.C. President Roosevelt's sensational message to Congress today, demanding overhauling of the Judiciary, struck Congressional leaders like a bolt from a clear sky. Copies of the speech were at a premium on Capitol Hill. Here we see Rep. Hatton W. Sumners of Texas, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and Speaker William B. Bankhead, as they went into a huddle with the message. Speaker Bankhead said the message involved a "sound principle" for judicial reform. Rep. Sumners refused to comment

Bureau of Standards designs mechanical batter to determine liveliness of baseballs. Washington, D.C., Feb. 21. Using a newly designed apparatus, the U.S. Bureau of Standards today began experiments to determine the relative home-run qualities of American, National and International baseballs. In conducting the tests a scientist pulls the trigger of an air gun loaded with a wooden projectile representing the slugger's bat. The projectile strikes a baseball causing it to fly toward a ballistic pendulum. After each of such hits the scientist takes a reading on the pendulum. It tells him how hard the ball hit the pendulum, or whether it was a homerun, a double, [...]st a pop fly. Dr. H.L. Dryden, Chief [...]e Division of Mechanics and Sound, Designed the machine and is supervising the tests. He is [...] right while on the left is Edward B. Eynon, Secretary of the Washington Baseball Club, 2/21/38
