of unusual and outstanding events in Modern Priscilla history, read by Miss Louise Peacock from a scrapbook compiled by members of "her family since before the marriage of her par­ents. The compiled events occasioned much merriment, as they recalled portions of the various occasions noj in the printed accounts.

It would be a bit unfair to say that any one day is the best day of the week. In fact, every one of the six days may surely be called the best day.

It is said that the concessions have been of very much a better class this year. The swings, Ferris wheel, merry-go-rounds are frankly just the same as before, and? those music boxes grind out the same old stuff that grandma heard many years ago. But it sounds gootf, just the <ame.

NORTHWEST VENICE SOCIETY

The last meeting of the above society was held in the home of Mrs. Dan Quick, where 30 persons gath­ered an<^ enjoyed a co-operative supper together.

During the business meeting it was voted' that each"mem6ers contribute 50 cents toward the work of the Bronson hospital in Kalamazoo.

The interesting program of the evening included readings, accordian solos by Delores Quick, and1 a vocal number by Louis and Kenneth Tobey and their mother, Mrs. Tobey.

Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Seward have invited the group to meet in their home for the August -8 gath­ering.

_ V '

Newly elected officers of the Shia­wassee Junior Farm Bureau are president, Norma Baumgardner; vice president, Betty Brooks; Lela Self, secretary treasurer; Grace Self, pub­licity chairmen. The meeting was held in the Neal home, and was fol­lowed by a hay ride.

Seeds of pansiei, violas, forget* me-not, and English daisies can be sown and the young plants trans* planted in September. Other per­ennial plants that can be started at this time are Canterbury bells, aquil-*"r»:a, d^'-^'^ium, foxglove, anchusa, carnation, centaurea, coreopsis, shas-ta dai?y snd helie^sis.

To properlv prow the plants from seed, the soil should1 be carefully prepared. Wildon suggests you mix thoroughly through the top four or five inches of soil,, either leaf mould or peat to the amount of 20 to 30 percent of the soil. The purpose is to hold moisture in the soil and* to encourage strong, rapid growth of the seedlings.

The soil shoifd be watered as re­quired to have enough* moisture present to get goon germination of the seeds and healthy growth of the seedlings. Many growers cover the soil with burlap immediately after sowing anr? the burlap, is kept damp by spraying with water two or three times a day. The burlap must b% removed as soon as the youn.tr pi an to start to crack through the soil.;

essary for anybody to pay any fed­eral taxes for a period of 12 months Would have been good news to a lot of people any year for two dec­ades before World War II. It would have occupied acres of front-page spece in metropolitan papers, uti­lized hours of radio time and con­sumed gallons of red ink. It might have started a buying boom.

The money people used to put out in federal taxes was staggering; (then) although the amount seems email in contrast to what they have been paying lately and probably will keep paying for several years. Just the same, pre-war taxes were big roorsy and, even row, would be wo*th saving. That's exactly tie f - I wort to make in this depart­

FHTAU sUtb« Found To Be 8,000 Y e m Old

The Idea of a separate room for bathing purposes is not an invention of American culture. In fact,, ft is at least 5,000 years old. Two-Vth-tubsV not unlike those in use today, but made of bronze, were excavat­ed in a Roman villa near Pompeii in 1894, after reposing to volcanic ash and debris since 79 A. D. Archeologists from the Oriental in­stitute of the University of Chicago uncovered a bathroom in the palace of ancient Ashnunnak in Babylonia, now Iraq, built 5,000 years ago. There is no doubt about the date, either, for the Babylonian kings had the .tidy custom of stamping the bricks with their names.

The bath in :hc hcn.c of a wealthy Rom.nn usually occupied a whole room with a big sunken tub. The wa­ter was heated by fire under the floor.

In 1399, Henry IV of England founded a new military order called The Order of the Bath. It had ever been the custom to reward faithful subjects by dubbing them knight before or after battle by the simple rite of striking the kneel­ing soldier with the flat of the sword, saying "Rise, Sir Knight>" But Hen­ry, had an idea which many believe was inspired for the express pur­pose of persuading his nobles to pre­sent themselves as socially accept­able for the ceremony, including a complete immersion in a tub. While bathing, the favored subject was in­structed in the laws of chivalry. At the conclusion of the ceremony, wa­ter was poured on his left shoul­der in the sign of the cross. And thus knighthood was conferred.

Post Office Handles Big Volume of Free Mail

U. S. taxpayer* footed the bill for 1,908,629,519 pieces of free mail —thousands of tons of forms, pam­phlets, circulars and supplies—sent out by government departments and establishments free of postage under the ''penalty privilege" dur­ing the year ended June 30, 1945.

Although the "penalty mail law," effective fuly 1, 1944. forced all de­partments snd a^enci^s to account for all matter bearing the penalty indicia and pay into the treasury the c ist of handling such matters, 5,745,875 more pounds of free mail were handled than in the fiscal year 1944. The number of pieces de­creased by 286,956,796.

Servicemen mailed 1,100,000,000 pieces of free first-class mail dur­ing 1945, which would have cost $33,000,000 in postage at the rate of three cents apiece In spite of the tremendous volume of tree mail, post office Revenues were the high­est m history, amounting to $1,314,-340,132, Gregg points out. The mail handled by the post office during the 1945 fiscal year weighed 3,700.000 tons and totaled 37,900,000,000 sep­arate pieces/ Riirai rnsil carriers traveled a distance equal to three round trips to the moon every day.

Laundering Adds Wear Careful laundering of cotton ac­

cessories will prolong wear and will help keep ensembles attractive and fresh. Cotton blouses and neckwear should be washed frequently. Use plenty of hot water and good soap for sturdy white cottons and finish with a little blujsg or bottled bleach to keep the fabric from turning yel­low. Colored neckwear and blouses should be washed separately in warm water and dried in the shade. The same rules apply for white and colored handkerchiefs. Use warm water and mild suds for organdies and laces. Put very delicate laces in a fruit jar half filled with luke­warm suds, shake vigorously a few minutes, and rinse in clear warm water. Roll fine pieces in a bath towel to blot out excess moisture so that they are uniformly damp be­fore ironing. Embroidered organdie and lace should be ironed with a warm iron on the wrong side, on a well-padded board.

Watch Reducing Do not attempt to reduce except

under a physician's guidance if you are under 20 years of age, are a young mother, have organic compli­cations, such as heart disease, and are not at least 10 per cent above average weight. Keep in mind all foods provide some calories, that is, urr'rs of fuel for body energy: foods th<a pack the most calories are the starcnes, sweets and fats, and in­crease in weight begins when more calories are taken in than are used in work or play. By substituting fruits and custards for baked des­serts such as cake, pie, doughnuts or cookies, you can trim on* 100 to 300 calories, because so much sugar and fat go with the flour in these.

Nylon Foundations The new nylon feather-weight

foundations can be washed as eas­ily as hose. Before laundering, treat any soiled spots with a soapy brush, then immerse in plenty of suds and lukewarm water. Rinse well, and roll briefly in a turkish towel. Never wring nylon—it wrinkles if you do. Unroll your girdle immediately, hang it up by the garters, and let it drip dry, away from direct heat. Seppotfc out the creases with your fingers, during drying. Treat nylon bras the same way. It's a good idea to suds out black foundation gar­ments before wearing to wash away any loose surface dye that might smudge OK sfcta.

Must Lose Found! a Week or Kick in With Dollar.

NEW YORK.-Some of Manhat­tan's best known tummies are shrinking in a reducing derby.

It all started when about 500 heavyweight New Yorkers banded together in a "dollar-a-pound-club." If they don't lose a pound a week, they kick in with a dollar to New York's famine emergency commit­tee.

"The race has been running for about a month now," Anthony Drex-el Duke said, "and I have collected already about $200."

Duke, whose blood is as blue as ink, helped organize the club after Printer Herman Jaffee, who weighed in at 289, thought up the idea.

The two have signed up such not­ed names as Newbold Morris, for­mer president of the New York City council and one of the losers to May­or William O'Dwyer in the last elec­tion; Col. Anthony J. Drexel, the marine expert on use of the% bayo­net; Mike Jacobs, the fight promot­er j Joe Louis, the heavyweight champ, and Billy Conn, the challen­ger-along with such topnotch Wail street lawyers as Charles C, Mc­Veigh and John Jackson.

"We went to the president of a chain store restaurant here in New York," Jaffee said, "and we asked; him to cut down his three-decker sandwiches to two decks. He sold around 60,000 a day, and you can figure out how much bread that gob­bles up."

The restaurant man liked the idea.

Then Jaffee and Duke slipped in. their kiiler-djUer punch.

"You don't need that extra dough," they said. "How about giv­ing it to the famine fund?"

"All r ipt ," said the president, and he did. It'll hit a clip around $250 a week.

"Then the club really got going,'* said Duke. "We got about 25 of New York's top clubs signed up. I didn't know people were so honest. Every man is on his honor, you know. They keep rolling those dol­lars every time I turn around."

British Might Hit Peak in June, 1945

LONDON. — Britain's armed forces reached a peak strength in June, 1945, of 4,083,000 — ap­proximately 10 per cent of her population — during the war in which service and civilian casualties totaled 733,627.

A government white paper published recently listed 3S7,-116 killed, 6,244 missing and 369,-267 wounded as final casualty fig­ures.

Servicemen's deaths totaled 264,443, including 144,079 in the army, 68,606 in the royal air force and 50,758 in the navy.

Altogether 5,896,000 served in the forces during the war. Of this total 3,788,000 went into the army, 1,185,000 into the RAF and 923,000 into the navy.

Separation Canters Are Being Reduced by Army

WASHINGTON.—With more than 7,000,000 men released by the army since V-E Day, the war department announced that more than half its separation centers have been closed or ordered to shut down.

Nine of 27 camps operated by the army service forces have been closed, and six others will become inoperative by the end of July, a statement said. These are Camp Shelby, Miss.; Camp Atterbury, Ind.; Camp McCoy, Wis.; Fort Bliss, Tex­as; Camp Chaffee, Ark., and Fort Douglas, Utah.

Eighteen separation centers are siiu in operation with facilities to reduce the army's strength to the required figure of. 1,550,000 by July 1, it was stated.

Enemy's Loss Greater on West Front, Records Say

BERLIN.--Statistics compiled by the armed forces division of the American Military government, with the aid of captured German records, showed that, counting pris­oners, German armed forces lost far more men to the western Allies during the war than to the Rus­sians.

The figures compiled on the dead and wounded are incomplete, but reckoning the civilian bombing cas­ualties there was also an indication that the western forces killed more Germans than did the Russians.

According to captured files of the German bureau for notifying next of kin casualties, the army had 17 million men, including the air force, during the war.

TECUMSEH, MICH.--Perry Hay-den, Quaker miller, who six years ago planted a cubic inch of his "dynamic kernels" of wheat, said recently;that this year's final har­vest would be more than 113 mil­lion cubic inches.

The cumulative product of the original inch of "biblical tithing wheat" would have a market value of more than $100,000, he added.

Mr. Hayden pledged a tenth of each year's crop to the church in what he called "a demonstration of the principle of tithing as taught in the Bible."

The final public harvesting cere­mony is planned for August 1 at near-by Adrian, where a 10-acre plot of wheat, descended from .the original inch, has been planted in the center of the county fair­grounds race track.

Because the final sowing could not be contained in any tract in Michigan, the seed was distributed to 267 farmers in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin and Tennessee.

Each farmer has pledged to give a tenth of the return to a church or related organization. Mr. Hayden reported that churches of 37 de» nominations, the Gideons, the Sal­vation Army and other groups would share the $10,000 tithe expect­ed from the year's final crop.

He declared that the biblical promise of increased returns under a system of tithes was borne out by the project.

"The normal increase of wheat in Michigan averages under 15-fold," he stated. "The first year the in­crease from the original inch of 'dynamic kernels' was 50-fold; the second year, 55; the third, 16; the fourth, 27, and the fifth, 19 — and these figures take into account the 10 per cent tithe taken out each year.

"This proves to me, at least, that we were getting some extra assist­ance."

A short talk was given by Prank Sample, retire^ superintendent of terminals fn Detroit. Arth r Ruther, chairman of the pension rules, an­nounced the law to increase pennons had1 been signed by the President, but Mr. Ruther could not tell how much the increase was.

InU ">•*••'-~ was the presentation to Clinton Shattuck, formerly of Du­rand, and now of California^ with a 40-year'v'nin, by E. McGregor in be­half of the Brotherhood of Loco­motive Engineers. Mr. Shattuck, an early employee 1n the Durand round'" house, siarted finnV in 1904 and was made an engineer in 1006.

A jolly number was a mock wfd-d'ing, which was enacted with the "bride Mrs1. George Hill and the "groom" A. L. Granger, a retired G. T. R. R. engineer. The "clergy­man" is George Hjfi, husband of Mrs. Hill in real life. Stst man was Jason Hall. Mrs. Nellie Cobb, acted as matron of honor. Little Miss Hall, gTanr";daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jason Hall was the flower girl and Mrs. Mnble Thomas aiul Mrs. Jason Hall were train hearers. All are Dura::.l residents.

A pie-eating contest was won by

which eventually "eats" into the fibers of the cloth causing serious *»nrt permanent damage. It thrives in a damp, warm, dark and unventi-lated place.

Unless proper precautions wer* taken to make certain clothes were' dry when stored, it might prove profitable to make a midsummer ex­amination to, see if any mildew has started. If so, Miss Green suggests they should be removed, brushed, sunned and' driej outdoors. Spong­ing will remove a slight surface si-owth on wool. Soap and water will remove very fresh mildew from washable material.

Sees Big Increase In Building on Farms

WASHINGTON, D. C. — Expen­ditures of close to one billion dol­lars a year for farm buildings during the next five years are predicted by Frank J. Hallauer of the forest service.

In a report made public by the senate small business com­mittee, Hallauer said this pros­pect was based on such factors as an accumulation of deferred maintenance, a healthy agricul­tural balance sheet, a high level of income and a growing appre­ciation of higher standards of in­come.

Expenditures for farm build­ing have been less than depreci­ation, he said, since 1943.

Warning that the farm balance sheet could change for the worse, he said: "The forces of inflation have not yet run their course; postwar adjustments are yet to be made."

South Africa for Land Curb Against Indians

CAPETOWN, UNION OF SOUTH AFRICA. — The Asiatic land ten* ure and Indian representation bill, which restricts the purchase of land by Indians to certain areas, was passed on third reading in the Union senate recently.

An outcry in India while the bill was before the South African parlia­ment led to the recall of the Indian high commissioner in South Africa. Trade s a n c t i o n s aga ins t South Africa have also been imposed in India as retaliation for the meas­ure. •

This result held true in the experi­ments for rats which were fed on a diet deficient in pantothenic acid for a peciod from 23 days before mat­ing down to as late as the day of mating. . The female rats were maintained on the deficient diet, while the males with whom they were mated were fed on a normal diet Care was taken that the diet •vas deficient in no other way. To insure that reproductive failure was not caused by a shortage of calo­ries resulting from decreased appe­tite in pantothenic acid deficient rats, a group of animals were fed a diet containing adequate amounts ol the vitamin but deficient in calo­ries. Their reproduction was Unim­paired, indicating further that the deficiency of the vitamin was to blame.

This is the first conclusive evi­dence that pantothenic acid defi­ciency impairs reproduction. Other deficiencies impairing reproduction are of vitamin E, vitasnin A, essen­tial fatty acids, low protein intake, riboflavin, an amino acid called tryptophane, and biotin.

Survey Indicates Slums Breed Most Criminals

Hie direct relationship between slums and crime in Milwaukee was highlighted recently by a study that revealed to what extent blighted areas breed the criminals housed in Wisconsin penal institutions. The survey of Milwaukee blight was pat­terned after similar investigations conducted several years ago in New York and Cleveland, Ohio.

The state welfare department dis­covered that Milwaukee's most se­verely blighted area—the sixth ward —cost Wisconsin taxpayers nearly $150,000 last year for maintenance of sixth ward inmates in the state prison and the state reformatory. At the other extreme, Milwaukee's eighteenth ward, the city's best de­veloped residential district, cost the public just $3,523 for maintenance of its prison and reformatory in­mates.

Further statistics merely empha­size the unequal burden on Milwau­kee taxpayers. The sixth, fourth, fifth and third wards impose a total current cost of $390,402 for main­tenance of their prisoners in state custody. The eighteenth, fifteenth, twenty - sixth and twenty - second wards impose a cost of $25,031—one-fourteenth as much.

Indian Fighters How American Indians put the In­

dian sign on Hitler and Hirohito if rf; closed in the 1946 Encyclopaedia Britannica Book of the Year. Three hundred Navaho Indians acted as code talkers in the front line com­munications of the marine corps, using their native language, It proved to be an unbreakable ,code. Reports to the Indian office announced that 4 Indians merited the Distinguished Service Cross; 35, the Distinguished Flying Cross and 3, the Soldier's Medall Fifty-two In­dians were awarded the Silver Star; 53 won the Bronze Star; and 72 re­ceived the Air Medai Many addi­tional awards and oak leaf clus­ters were also credited to Indian G.I.s. The Book of the Year points out that a full-blooded Pima, Pfc. Ira Hayes, was one of the six flag raisers on the summit of Mt. Suri-bachi, Iwo Jima. Harvey Natchees, a Ute, was the first U. S. soldier to enter the center of Berlin. LeRoy Himlin, another Ute, was with the first group to make contact with the Russians on the Elbe.

Selecting Lamp The Rural Electrification admin­

istration offers the following sugges­tions in choosing a good reading lamp for the home:

Choose a study lamp or junior size floor lamp tall enough and with a shade broad enough to spread a wide circle of useful light; select a lamp with a diffusing (reflector) bowl under the shade to reduce glare and soften the light; choose floor and study lamps that use bulbs which give three intensities of light; select broad bottom shades that are deep enough to conceal the diffus­ing bowl and have a white liiiing to reflect the light. White or ivory shades provide about 50 per cent more light than dark ones.

Insects Chief Problem in Making Dog Comfortable on Hot Days

Summer "dog days" would not nearly be as uncomfortable for pur canine pit* were they given ade­quate ofpfketion against insect para-sates, states the Gaines Dbg Research Center, New York City.

The flea-ridden dog, scratching, biting and squirming* is a patheUc sight In addition to causing the dog extreme annoyance, the flia carries dog tapeworm and also appears to be connected in some way with canine summer eczema.

The tick is another culprit preying on} dogs that has come to the fore in the past several years. An insidious individual of tenacious habits, he makes a practice of hiding in under­brush and grass along paths and trails, waiting to attach himself to the first passing animal. In addition

. to inflicting irritating bites, the tick ' is a potential carrier of disease.

According to the Center, DDT powder of 5 per cent strength, used as a dust, has been found extremely effective against fleas. The powder should be scattered through the hair next to the skin, especially in the region of the abdomen, inner thighs and tail areas. The treatment should be repeated at jtwo-week intervals' during the summer months.

Washing the animal in water con­taining derris or cube powder is an­other excellent method of control. Two ounces of the powder and an ounce of neutral soap—preferably in flaked form-are mixed with a gallon of water. This is applied to the dog either by dipping or sponging, or may be used as a final nnse following an ordinary soap-and-water bath. If bathing is not convenient, derris powder can be dusted into 'the coat and skin. Th;.- powder may cause vomiting it the'dog breathes or swal­lows-it, but does no serious harm. Keep the solution or powder away from the dog's eyes

Control measures for the tick are not. much more difficult, but do re­quire persistence. The simplest method of removal, when only a few ticks are present, is to pick them off with tweezers. Dogs should be ex­amined frequently fur re-ihfestaiion, with special attention given to U\e ears, trie neck and the spaces be­tween the tors. A Justin? powder containing 10 per rent DDT is usu­ally very effective. Care should be taken that the powder penetrate* the hair and reaches the dog's skin. This treatment should provide protection for M lonf *» two weeks. The use of DDT in liquid or spray form may not

be safe. Where 10 per cent DDT pow­der is not obtainable, a twice-weekly use of a derris dip is suggested. For this dip, dissolve one ounce of mild soap in a gallon of warm water, then stir three to four ounces of fine der­ris or cube powder (5% rotenone) into the solution. Pour the liquid over the dog and work into the coat w4$h the fingers; keen repouring until the hair and skin are completely saturated. For greatest efficacy the dip should be allowed to dry on the

Rutin Aid in Treating Failing Blood Vessels

Clinical experience with the drug, rutin, is expanding its range of use­fulness in treatment of. disease* as­sociated with failing blood vessels. Apoplexy, some forms of persistent nose-bleed, retinal hemorrhage* in­flammation of the eyes often asso­ciated with diabetes, and other dis­eases in which a tendency to hem­orrhage is an important symptom, have been treated with success in addition to the initial use of the drug <n cases of increased capillary fra­gility. ,

Dr. J. Q. Griffith Jr. of the med­ical school of the University of Pennsylvania has been co-operating with Dr. J. F. Couch of the Eastern Regional Research laboratory of Philadelphia where the experiment­al work was done that has devel­oped a commercial method of pro­ducing rutin. Dr. Griffith, handling the clinical phase- of the work* re­ports that rutin has been supplied to many physicians and hospitals and that results have been encour­aging. In the conditions of in­creased capillary fragility, Dr. Grif­fith says the conditions of the cap­illaries have been brought to nor­mal in 85 per cent of the cases.

Dr. Griffith says that apoplexy has been a disease terrifying to vic­tims and their families because a first "stroke" was so likely to be followed by another and more serious one. Treatment with rutin has proved beneficial in a large per­centage of the cases treated by re­storing the capillaries and thus pre­venting a recurrence of the attack. This applies, also, to cases of retinal hemorrhage, likely to cause blind­ness, and to retinitis or inflamma­tion of the retina often associated with diabetes.

Primitive Children Molded By Praise and Reward

Primitive children neither "run wild" nor learn by spontaneous imi­tation, two widely held misconcep­tions, but rather develop under a strict disciplinary code and learn through the stimuli of ridicule, praise and reward, says Dr. George A. Pettitt in a new book.

For years the rareness of corpor­al punishment among primitives has been held evidence of extreme lack of discipline, but Dr. Pettitt notes that primitive society be* lieved corporal pvtrishuieni harmful to the development of what was considered the ideal individual type. Otherwise, he says, discipline pre­vailed, although usually such meas­ure* were left to other* than imme­diate relatives to avoid any feeling of resenonent the child might have felt toward the family.

Among aids to learning Dr. Pet­titt lists the use of personal names, trivial or ridiculous ones for those who had not achieved, and pres­tige names for those who had. H* also note* the praise and award mo­tivation through rites honoring suc­cess in economic activities and points out that supernatural beings and their supposed powers were used to develop the individual in accord with the society's canons.

A daily brushing with a stiff bristled brush is advisable* followed by use of a steel-toothed comb. The comb shoutd bo repeatedly dipped in Dine oil or a light turpentine solution.

Advocated Healthy Living Sylvester Graham, whose fame is

preserved on the cracker box of ev­ery corner grocery in America, started out as a reformer. He sin­cerely believed that the main cause of illness, either physical or spiritu­al, was intemperance in both eating and drinking. About this time (1830). bathing was in disfavor, ven­tilation in winter was regarded as a sure way to catch consumption, and exercise was taken only when re­quired by work. So Sylvester Gra­ham preached the unique gospel of healthy living. Ee urged his ever-increasing followers to embrace a program which included an abun­dance of natural foods, plenty of fresh air, and above all, bathing— even in winter months. The prac­tice of bathing" has actually become popular only during the past cen­tury in the United States. Even in our America of today not every home has a bathtub.

Planning Rural Utopia on Farm

University Experts Seek Era Of More Comfort and

Less Perspiration,

COLUMBUS, OHIO—Agricultural engineers at Ohio State university are busy thinking up new ways to help the farmer do his work with more comfort and less perpiration, says the United Press.

They have already developed a "milking parlor" that saves stan­chion room in dairy barns, and keeps the cows moving in double file past a milking machine. They get their feed at the same time, thus great­ly simplifying that Job for the farm­er.' . '

The engineers are working on a gadget that at the touch of a but­ton scoops manure from the trough behind the stanchions and dumps it into the fertilizer spreader.

New Cotton Picker. Farm machinery ecrapanie* also

have their plans, some of them still "top secret"

International Harvester now has in production a cotton-pickeT that may revolutionize cotton farming in the south; a one-man pickup hater that rakes up cured hay in the fields and kicks out bales as it goes along; and a self-propellor combine that applies the once-over-lightly princi­ple to wheat harvesting.

I-H also has a new vest-pocket tractor for farms of less than 40 acres that com«s equipped with s specially designed line of imple­ments.

The Oliver corporation claims its new plow "solves the problem of deep plowing." They say the new plow will plow to a depth of 12 inches without turning over the hard pan of the substrata.

Comfort on Tractor. Oliver also has a new-type trac­

tor that moves on rubber tracks. It's good for use on muck farms or on farms that are hilly or have loose soil. The rubber tracks permit its use on highways.

Another device recently demon­strated was a "cut-off corn harvest­er" that cuts the stalks, snaps them off and husks the ears, delivering them to the wagon; then shreds the stalks and distributes them over the ground.

Prompt disposal of the stalks in this manner cuts down corn borers by. 98 par cent it is reported.

One manufacturer with an eye for comfort has mounted his tractor seat on hydraulic shock absorbers.

The one the farmers are really

foiag fee is the home freezing unit >r. Glen R. KcCuen, head of the

Ohio state agricultural engineering department, warns that manufac­turers cannot keep up with the de­mand for freezing units,

"This will represent an oppor­tunity for the fly-by-night manufac­turer," Dr. McCuen warned. "It looks as though the disreputable home freezer salesman will be the next to victimize the farmers on a grand scale."

Atom Accident Fatal to Scientist Froni Canada

LOS ALAMOS, N. M. - Dr. Louis Slotin, 35-year-old scientist from Winnipeg, Canada, died recently from the effects of exposure to radi­ation, the army announced.

Dr. Slotin and seven other phys­icists and technicians of the Los Alamos atomic bomb laboratory were injured Hay 21 in an accident while working with fissionable mater rial. All were exposed to radiation, but the other seven am cwtoorted recovering.

Dr. N. E. Bradbury, project di­rector, credited Dr. Slotin with dis­persing the material "at the mo­ment of the accident to prevent greater injury to fcitow scientists."

A saliva, of Winnipeg, Dr. Slotin came to the atomic bomb labora­tory Icons Oak Ridge, Tenn., in De­cember, 1944. He had been associ­ated with the Manhattan engineer district since 1943.

Whatever those secrets were it appears that modern makers of specialized production finishes, of which violin varnish is one of the delicate examples, have prodiu-^i finishes which have enabled modern violin makers to rival in tone the in­struments rnade by Antonio Stradi­vari who produced his best violin about 1725 and Andrea Gua men who produced his best violin th-after part of the 17th century.

British Throttle Nazi Youth Plot

S B SSSSt

Documents Uncovered Re­veal Extensive Plant.

LUENEBERG, GERMANY. - An underground Nazi youth organiza­tion which made pilgrimages to the secret grave of Heinrich Himmler and planned to undermine youth groups approved by the Allies has been smashed with the arrest of 35 ringleaders, British authorities an­nounced.

The vouths, ranging in* age from 17 to 26, were arrested recently.

A British military court consid­ered the charges against them so serious that their case was referred ot a higher tribunal which tries "near-greats" of the Nazi heir-archy.

The organization, known as "Rana" — a contraction of Radical Nationalists — has been operating in the Lueneberg area since the Al­lied occupation, British authorities said. - They said counter - intelligence

men swooped down, on the first group of suspects May 13, after hav­ing kept Rana under close scrutiny for six months.

The agents uncovered documents revealing organizational plans as well as large stores of explosives se­creted near Scharnhorst barracks housing British troops and Luene­berg airport, authorities

Nineteen-year-old Rheinold Rit-ter. only 1 of the 35 who pleaded guilty, disclosed locations of the explosives and implicated severaf ringleaders in the plot to wreck Al­lied attempts to bring democracy to Germany, they said.

Rana planned to introduce a "fifth column" into approved youth societies and stir unrest among the population, according to authorities.

The group was said to have been formed at the grave of Gestapo Chief Himmler, who swallowed poison when captured by the Brit­ish in May, 1945, and was buried at the edge of Lueneberg forest

The grave was unmarked and British officials thought it was in a secret spot until, shortly after­ward, floral wreaths appeared on it, they said.

Army Is Seeking Police 1 Dogs to Fill K-9 Ranks

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The army started out recently to recruit Ger­man shepherd dogs to fill the de­pleted ranks of the wartime K-9 corps.

An undisclosed number will be purchased outright, the war de­partment announced, to take the place of dogs which were lent to the army by their owners and have

; been returned. I Animals of many breeds saw war

service, but the army decided to concentrate on German shepherds which did "outstanding work" as messengers, scouts and sentries.

For healthy and fearless shep­herds between one and three and one-half years old, weighing be­tween 70 and 90 pounds, the quar­termaster corps will pay up to $150.

Price Ceilinga Boosted l On Bikes, Boat Motors \ WASHINGTON. - Retail price

ceilings for bicycles are going up 10 per cent and ceilings for out­board motors about 6 per cent aa a

! result of producers'* (Ugh wage and materials Mats.

Announcing this, the OPA said that in the case of both items the increase is over 1941 prices. It add­ed that manufacturers generally have been maintaining those price*.

The producers'' increase is effec­tive immediately.

CnsjMwr.iil Broiler Industry In Nine-Fold Increase

Big business in little chickens Is a thumbnail history of the rapid growth of the commercial broiler industry. Commercial production in 1945 totaled 312 million broilers compared with onry 34.03 million in 1934, the first year for which reli­able statistics were collected. This was a nine-fold increase in IS years, which began' in response to peace­time needs and continued through­out the war.

The average broiler weighs two and one-half to three pounds. Broil­er producers feed chicks of the heavy breeds of poultry. It is a spe­cialized business and many broiler specialists do not keep flocks of lay­ers but buy chicks from eggs pro­duced for the purpose by another group cf specialists in poultry keep­ing.

Farm production of broilers —more er less as a sideline to egg production -- continues to sup­ply the bulk of the broilers, but has increased only moderately while the commercial broiler industry has been booming. Farm production of broilers was more than 600 mil­lions in 1934 and had risen to more than 800 million in 1045. Expan­sion of commercial broiler pro­duction has been rapid in the South Atlantic states, but there have been large increases elsewhere, notably in California, Texas and Alabama. Illinois and Indiana have important broiler producing areas, as do New England and the North Atlantic states.

Table Shows Decline in Horse Value Since 1915

A seesaw or teeter-totter effect ap­pears in a comparison of two tables of the weighted average of prices received by farmers for horses and cows published by the department of agriculture.

Taking the 30-year period from 1915-1945, the average prices for horses now are in the range where cow prices were 30 years ago. And average prices for cows now are in the range of horse prices 30 years earlier. For 1915 the average horse price was $127.60; in 1945 it was $63.90. For 1915 the average milk cow price was $58 20; in 1945 it was $111.00.

In the 30 years cow prices had about doubled and horse prices halved. In 1915 a fair trade might have been a horse for two cows; in 1945 a cow for a span of horses. To further emphasize the teeter-totter effect, the two prices were roughly in the same range in the mid-period. The 1931 prices were: horses $55.90, cows $61.30.

PoUsaia* Pewter Polish pewter pitchers and bowls

on the outside but not on the inside if they are to be used to hold food. Pewter is an alloy of various met­als, with tin as the chief ingredi­ent. Old pewter—the kind valued by antique collectors—often con­tains considerable lead which may be dissolved into food that stands in it, especially acid food. Fortu­nately, pewter gradually takes on a coating of film which helps protect against this solution of lead into food. Because bright pewter looks more attractive than that which is dulled or darkened by Aim, many housewives shine it regularly. Pol­ishing on the outside does not harm, but the inside, which comes in con­tact with food, should be left dull. It is wise not to let food stand long in pewter. Much, but not all. modem pewter contains very Httle lead. Be­cause pewter is soft compared to many metals, it should be polished f, with a fine powder or silver polish. Harsh abrasives such as steel wool may scar it permanently.

Tiny Switchboard A telephone switchboard weighing

only 2¾ pounds, which in an emer­gency can take the place of the army's standard 60-pound instru­ment, is characterized by signal corps engineers as one of the most ingenious developments in military communications. Central feature of the revolutionary switchboard is the individual "switching unit," a transparent cube less than two inches wide, which is attached to the end of each telephone line. It has a two-pronged plug, not unlike those used to plug in an ordinary elec­trical appliance, on the bottom, and a jack into which the prongs of a similar unit may be inserted on the top. These, along with a minute gas-ftlled neon light and a device for limiting the amount of electric current to flow through it. are all the unit consists of. These component parts are embedded in a transpar­ent plastic case. Seven of those units together with a standard army field telephone *re sufficient to bri­dle the same traffic a« a regular six line switchboard.

Storing & « » Water glass continues to measurt

up well to the newer thermo-stabili-zation methods for storing eggs at home. Newer preservation methods have some advantages over the old­er water glass method, but the wa­ter glass method has the advantage of being somewhat easier to use.

Water-glass preserved eggs were about equal in quality to eggs ther-mo-etabilized at 130 degrees for 15 minutes and dipped in mineral oil before storage. Judges who exam­ined and scored the eggs after six month* storage were able to find only slight difference between the water glass and tbermo-stabOteaUon methods.

NUERNBERG,.GERMANY. -Confiscated records of the Krupp dynasty disclosed the secret origin of German rearmament in the sup­posedly beaten and bankrupt Wei­mar replublic barely a year after the treaty of Versailles had been signed and 13 years before Hitler came to power.

Documents in Allied hands pro­vide evidence that a secret $48,000,-000 loan was made available to Krupp's in 1920 by a man who was reicnschancellor and finance minis­ter three years before Hitler marched in his 1923 beer hall putsch.

In 1940, when Germany had beat­en France and was poised to in­vade England, the former chancel­lor wrote proudly from exile in Switzerland to old gun maker Gus-tav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach in his stone palace in the smoke wreathed Itihr, says the Associ­ated press.

Shows Partnersaifv The letter, signed "Joseph Wirth"

and recovered from the Krupp files in Essen, is regarded by Allied in­vestigators as typifying the hidden partnership of industrial magnates and presumably democratic politi­cians to restore German military might.

"Most honored Herr President," the letter began, * 'Swiss papers car­ry the news that you are the first German to be decorated with the war cross of merit, first -class, in appreciation of your accomplish­ments in arming the German wehr-macht.

"I have the honor to state that this fact has been noted down with pleasure in my memoirs and I look with satisfaction to the years 1920-23 when we both . , . laid the new foundations for the development of German armament technique with the help of your great and most im­portant firm.

"I am putting down these lines in order to make a record in my files, in which there is already the letter of Dr. Wiedtfeld of 1921 which sets forth that, through my initiative »& reichschancellor and finance snin-ister, your highly esteemed firm jvas secured for 10 years by putting at its disposal considerable means of the Reich for maintenance of arma­ment technique in the Reich's serv­ice."

Meaey Seat f early. Attached to Wirth's latter was •

confidential memorandum' by one of Krupp's staff which is expected to figure prominently in any Allied trial of German industrialists. The memorandum states that Wirth put 48 million dollars worth of marks at Krupp's disposal at Mendelssohn 8t Co., Berlin, from which the money was transferred to an ac­count carried under the name "Cus-todia" in Amsterdam. The account was later "nourished by yearly re­mittances from Stockholm in Swe­dish crowns."

Because of senile softening of the brain, liustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was excluded from the present Nuernberg war crimes trial. His son, Alfred, may be in­cluded as a defendant if industrial­ists are put on trial as a class.

Nltrogttt Fertiliser U M Incre*M« TetvFold

In 43 yean the use of nitrogen fer­tilizer has Increased tenfold—from 62,000 to 626,000 tons, according to the department of agriculture's research administration scientists.

i Since 1010 almost half the money I farmers have spent for fertilizer '' has been for nitrogen, a large share

of which is chemical nitrogen that has become cheaper as the last 20 years brought improved synthetic processes of manufacture into wide use. \

Wars are great consumers of nitrogen, both for explosives and for fertilizer to promote food pro­duction. World War II brought a

! doubling of plant capacity for syn­thetic nitrogen manufacture in the United States and Canada. Accord­ing to the fertilizer specialists, some of these great plants are being con­verted to fertilizer production in or­der to assure farmers of the largest nitrogen supply for crops that they have ever had,

Among the various states there are striking differences in the use of nitrogen. More than half of the fertilizer nitrogen is used in the states along the South Atlantic and Gulf coasts, while many of the great corn and wheat states use little ni-

i trogen and comparatively little ] commercial fertilizer of any kind.

Florida, Maine and Ohio use most of their nitrogen in mixed fertilizers, and in Mississippi and California most of it is used by itself.

Atom Information Group Report* $50,000 in Gifts

A spokesman tor the group said response to telegrams sent to sev­eral prominent citizens by Einstein on May 25 had been "very good" and that contributions had been re­ceived from "every state in the United States and every walk of life."

Safety Measures Urged For Fire Prevention

To prevent fire, specialists rec­ommend that trash, rubbish, waste paper, old clothing, feed bags, bed­ding, and the like be removed and turned in for salvage; dust, cob­webs, shavings and other flammable materials be cleaned away from fuse boxes, motors and other elec­trical devices to avoid flash fires; the heating plant and the chimney be cleaned with worn parts replaced.

Water seeping into a building rots the structure and water dripping into properly cured hay may result in spontaneous com­bustion. If a new roof is needed, select a fire-resistant roofing mate­rial, such as asphalt shingles, met­al or asbestos. Cover badly split, cracked side walls preferably with fire-resistant siding.

Case and New Idea

TT

Dr. Nancy Bayley of the Univer­sity of California points out that generally accepted ideas of growth are Inaccurate. Parents worry too much because their children are too tall or too short and wonder if hormones will do good. Dr. Bay-ley's studies indicate that children who grow too fast generally slow down to becdme small *dulU while those who grow too slowly cohiinue their growth over a longer p?"-'^ to become tall adults. In her table Dr. Bayley arrives at the ultimate height at maturity by matching the "skeletal age," as shown by X-rays, with the height of the child at the time X-ray pictures were made. Suppose Mary, a rapidly growing child, is 62 inches tall at 11¼ years. She has a skeletal age of 13, and the chronological age table predicts that she will mature st «5.9 inches. The table ought to be useful not only to endocrinologists, but to surgeons who perform operations to equalize leg lengths.

Bleed Spots fat Eggs Blood spots in eggs may be ex­

pected at any time during the lay­ing year, but eggs showing this con­dition are more prevalent during the season of peak production than at any other time. Such spots are the results of a rupture of a small '•essel in the ovary or in the ovi­

duct. If it is on the yolk, It indi­cates a hemorrhage in the sac en-closing the yolk at the time the yolk became ripe and was released. This was probably brought about be­cause the rupture did not occur J long the stigma which contains no jlood vessels, but at another section >l the sac containing blood vessels. if (he clot is in the white o! the egg, it is the result of a rupture of a ol<>od vessel in the oviduct which ecretes the albumin of the egg. Eggs with blood clots are not, un-

ualthy for human consumption, nor In they indicate a diseased condition

Invented Bike The first bicycle was made 100

«!fii\s ago in a blacksmith shop at "••li.irthill Smithy in Scotland by .•:'kpatrir;k MacMillan. His first bicycle was quite differ­

ent from present-day models. He •oil invented a "dandy-horse" or !;ohby-horse. To propel it without rushing with his feet against the • .ro-ind, he geared it with treadles so that it operated much like a •hiirl's tricycle today.

Or: this iron-rimmed bicycle, Mac­Millan created a local sensation by riding some 70 miles from Keir to Glasgow. That was in 1839, but the celebration of the centennial was postponed until this year because of the war. It was just a hundred /ears ago, however, that another Scotsman, Gaivin Dalzell of Lanark­shire, improved MacMillan's model, and some historians divide honors 'nr the invention between the two
