examine and even for each interview you attend. These slips will be your own card catalogue to your personal library of notes and later will form the basis for your bibligoraphy.
| While you are examining, the var- ious materials you will want to make addtional notations on your bibliography slips. First of all, you wlil want to note the full title of each book or magazine (the call slip may have had only an abbreviated title), then you will want to indi- cate the plate and date of publica- tion, the edition and the publisher; if it is part of a series you should note the series, volume, or part num- ber; if a map, you will want to in- dicate its size, color scheme and
scale, as well as its subject and date; ifa newspaper, you will want to mark down the city (if this is not part of the title), the month, day, and year and the ' name of the ed- itor (if you can ascertain this.) On the reverse side of your slip you may want to make special notations, such as which chapters or pages are particularly helpful for your sub- ject, whether you think the state- ments are reliable or ought to be checked against another authority, etc. Make all these notations at the time you are eramining the book, pa- per, or other type of material; do not wait until your impressions get cold.
Note-Slips or Cards
Now you are ready to take notes. Writers have discovered that slips or cards of either 4 by 6 inches or 5 by 8 inches are the most conven- ient size for notetaking. The former side is 'perhaps even better than the latter, for it is large enough to allow for ample quotation of paraphrasing, yet small enough to file in an empty shoe box and empty shoe boxes make excellent and inexpensive filing equipment for the local historian.
Whether you type your notes, use a pen, or a pencil, will depend upon the library in which you do your work. Most libraries will not allow ink tobe used, especially if you are taking notes on valuable manuscript material or rare books. An indelible pencil or a medium soft lead pencil is your only recourse for notę tak- ing at such places. At a few libraries you may be permitted to bring & portable typewriter or to use a type- writer provided for patrons. Gener- ally, however, a stock of well sharp- ened pencils and sufficient slips or cards for the day's stine are your best tools for note taking.
When writing your notes, try to confine each slip to a single idea or topic. ' Combining several topios on one siip, just because these happen to come from one book or are on the same page, is poor economy and will lead to confusin when you begin to rganize your/material. Your notes are like the pieces of a jigsaw puz- zle and if you will fasten together unrelated topics or pieces it will make it more difficult for you when you try to fit in all the related parts.

rounds at the' various libraries, you will find small call-slips provided on which to write the author and titie of the book and the call number as indicated in the catalogue. These slips are handed to the library atten- dant who uses them to find your books for you. In order to save yourself time and labor, it is helpful to carry with you a scratch pad of 3 in. by 5 in, size blank slips and a piece of carbon paper similar in size. You can thus be making a du- plicate of each call slip for your own use at the same time that you are filling out the original slip for the librarian. By marking in the up- per. right hand corner a symbol for each library you visit (for example, LC for Library of Congress; MH for Minnesota Historical Society; or
OAH for Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society) you will lat- er be able to have a record of each volume you use and will have no difficulty in retracing your steps should you find it necessary to con- sult the same book twice. You should also use similar slips for each map, manuscript, newspaper, periodical, public, business, or church record, microfilm roll, or photostate you

"LOCAL HISTORY"
BY DONALD' D. PARKER Brookings, South Dakota "LOCAL HISTORY"-HOW TO GATHER IT, WRITE IT, AND PUBLISHI I'I
(Continued from last week)
Keep Good Notes
Leave a wide margin at the left side of your note card-wide enough to indicate in brief form the author and title of the book (if a magazine, the title of the article as well as the name of the magazine), the volume number or other division (If any), and the page or pages from which your note is taken. Do not neglect doing this on every card-otherwise your note taking is blind effort with- out benefit of authority to support it. Leave also, a wide margin at the top of your card. In the upper right hand corner, try to put (as accur- ately as possible) the place and date for each note you take, that is, the place and date of the material you For are noting, not of the time you are recording it or even of the time it was recorded by the author. example, you may be noting an item on the settlement of the town of Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1803; you find the Item in a history volume written in 1848 in Marietta, Ohio, and you are now noting it at Columbus, Ohio in 1943, but, obviously, the items for piace and date which you want to in- dicate at the right hand upper cor- ner of your card are "Chillicothe, |1803." If you are not sure of the time or place where the action occurred but are guessing, indicate your guess with a question mark, thus: ,
Chillicothe ( ?) March, 1803 (?)
When you begin to arrange your material for writing your history you will find it an invaluable help to have
the approximate time and place for the quoted part in quotation marks. each bit of information.
Do not try at this stage, to give headings or subheadings to your notes. Leave that for later, after you have studied the succeeding chapter with its model outline and
have determined what the main top- ics and subtopics of your own out- line should be. -
Notes on Printed Works
There are several ways of taking notes. One is to copy the exact words of the author. This is the lazy man's way of historical writing, un- less you are planning to edit selected documents or excerpts from the ma- terials you use and do not intend to do any interpretative writing of your own at all. Another and better way is to read the paragraph or page at least twice (once for general sense and a second time for detailed an- alysis), and then to try to put the idea expressed by the author into your own words, copying verbatim only such words, phrases, or sen- tences as are so expressive or color- ful that you want them exactly as the author said them. This second method will insure your understand- ing what the author is trying to say, for unless you understand hi's state- .... ment you will not be able to para- phrase it in your own words. "A third way is to "boil down" the author's statement to as brief a form as possible, that is, giving a summary. In taking notes it is mot advisable to do much summarizing unless you are certain that the sub- ject summarized is one which you will not need' to discuss in great detail later on. It is better to para- phrase at the note-taking stage and then to summarize when you begin to write .. Rather have too much than too little when taking notes.
When copying the author's words be careful to copy exactly; notice which words are capitalized and which ones are italicized (underline italicized words when writing or typ- ing); include all punctuation marks; be careful of paragraph indentions, and above all be sure to enclose
If you find a quotation in the part you are copying, be careful to use single quote marks both at the be- ginning and end of this quotation within a quotation.

Find Meat Necessary To Expectant Mothers
Meat is necessary in the diet of expectant mothers because of its high protein content, according to Ruth M. Leverton and Thelma J. McMillan of the Nebraska agricul- tural experiment station at Lincoln. The experimenters said they tested the effectiveness of the recommen- dation "Eat plenty of meat-a gen- erous serving at least twice a day." Protein supplies the material to re- place tissue waste and, to some ex- tent, contributes to the development of energy.
To insure that the women were receiving "plenty of meat," they were supplied with a five ounce serving of lean meat daily. They ate this supplementary meat in' ad- dition to their self-chosen diets. For each won an who was supplied meat, there were two experimental partners, women of approximately the same age, who had had the same number of children, were at the same stage of pregnancy and whose blood had the same hemo- globin (oxygen-carrying red pig- ment of the red blood corpuscles) value. One partner received a vi- tamin B complex supplement daily while the other partner received no supplement.
Results showed that the women who received the additional meat had consistently better hemoglobin and red cell values at all times than did their experimental partners who received either B complex or no supplement at all. There was no edema (swelling due to accumula- tion of large amounts of fluid in the intercellular tissue spaces of the body), and better success was at- tained in the secretion of milk among the meat eating group.
