They recall that when the late William Jennings Bryan denied the theory that man was descended from a monkey he said "appearances are deceiving; the monkey is not guilty," Colonel Sartain and his assistants feel somewhat the same. This is an article intended to do justice to the Analysis office and its chief, Leon G. Beck. The iob of the analysis office is to collect statistics and put them in, pictorial form so that the Commanding Gen eral, Brig. General N. B. Harbold, will know at all times just Tiow his Command is doing. These charted OGDEN, UTAH We Appreciate Your Patronage Home statistics appear in the headquar ters control room. When all the charting is finished, there will be a total of about thirty on display, each one dealing with some important phase of our operations. They will act like the temperature gauge of an automobile. They will not attempt to fehow causes, but like the automobile temperature gauge will show either that everything is "on the up" and there is still water in the radiator or that something is wrong and it is time to look under the hood.

Bowthorpe, foreman of the unit. These bearings, which come from all parts of the field, are inspected, cleaned; greased and then wrapped in protective coverings. When the bearings are first received in the unit they are carefully inspected., To remove corrosion and other accumulated materials they are buffed on an electric buffing 4 machine. The balls or needles are houses for future use.

Then it becomes a problem for LA. Col. H. Shacrtman, the director of supply, to solve to the commanding geni eral's satisfaction. The collection of the information and statistics for these charts takes a lot of hard work and more important a high degree of expert knowledge and judgment.

Whether the figures he gathers, actually mean what they seem to mean is one of the main factors dissuading Mr. Beck from applying for membership, in the Optimist Club. He feels that in his dally work he deals with too many optimists as it is. In addition to its numerous duties the analysis office has developed and maintained a display in the hallway outside the Office of the Commanding General which is one of the Command's best selling points. It is a line of attractive and interesting photographs which chart the value and advantage to the United States Air Forces of Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden Air Materiel Area. It has attracted a lot of attention and favorable comment from many high ranking officers. It will repay a visit and examination by every Hill Fielder. One of the charts in this display is a global presentation of the Western Hemisphere and is a good example of some of the difficulties the analysis office runs into. In order for the globe, as drawn, to be mathematically true the figures formed by the intersections of the lines of lattitude and longitude had to show equal areas. This was a mathematical problem of the first order and in fact stumped quite a few experts in the vicinity who were asked for advice. The correct formula and proportions were finally worked out by Ralph G. Knight, the assistant to the chief of the analysis office. .
