Rare Tobacco Plant Found
In Juan Fernandez Isle

A long-lost relative of the tobacco
plant, sort of missing link which
may help scientists to improve fur.
Their the modern nicotiana breed,
has been found in the Juan Fernan-
DEE islands, University of Califor-
MIA official has announced, but i,
will take a special one-man expedi.
ton to get it.
DR.. T. Harper Goodspeed, direc-
tor of the university's botanical gar
den, said lone Chilean collector
working under his direction had To-
Gated the plant sprouting from a
cliff on Mas Afuera, one of the
islands.
But the collector could not reach
the plant. With rope lasso he
dragged down a few leaves and
stems and they were rushed to
Berkeley where they were identified
as specimen of the long-sought to-
bacco relative
DR.. GoodSpeed announced he
would send collector to the islands
again in search of seed from the
plant and perhaps to collect ether
valuable seeds.

Antiques Made in France
Reach u. S. Despite War

From a yearly business of over
So,OOO,0OO in pre-war days, French
imports of ANTIQUES TO United States
have sunk since to the near zero
mark. Nevertheless, we are still re-
celvlng some French-made antiques
mot from France, but from Persia.
these facts were revealed in a sur
Vey of antique sources conducted
among dealers at a recent gift mar
ket held N the Merchandise Mart,
Chicago.
Chandeliers and torChieres, made
IN france over a century ago for
the palace OF the ShahS of Persia in
leheran were among the items
SHOWN at this market. These
candle-holding curios made up the
lighting system of the Shah's palace
until the regime of Persia's present
ruler, Reza Khan Pahlavi, who took
office a few years ago. Going mod
ern with a vengeance, he has since
been disposing of the furnishings
OF the sultan's palace, finding his
best market in the United States.
The chandeliers are approximate.
ly ; feet by 4 and were made in
Baccaret, France, by a firm of
glass makers dating back to 1765.
The arms that hold the candle
sticks are serpentine in shape and
OF solid glass. Red glass balls ano
large hemispherical doo-dads give
the chandeliers a typical oriental
flavor. Unlike occidental chande
liers, they are richly embellished
at both top and bottom. The tor
chieres are equally ornate, but
smaller. Both were listed as deco
rators' items intended to be wired
for electricity.

FIRE PROTECTION URGED
BY CHIEF AS NATIONAL
DEFENSE MEASURE

The protection Of all property from
fire WAS urged today by Fire Chief
Gustav AnSelm as a national defense
measure when he pointed out that al
the resources of the country must be
conserved during the crisis
Our most serious danger does not
come from sabotage" he declared. III
Comes from the common causes Of tirt
that are all around us. In defense in
duStrieS. There are. of course. REASONS
for special precautions. But as all in
GuStry is Speedcd up under defense
spending. there will be- more and more
chances for fire unless protection
keeps up with production.
1t has been the experience Of this
country that when We have great in
duStrial activity we also have more
fires. This Is because great demands
are being put ON all kinds of facilities
and because unskilled workers are be
ing taken into plants. Then, too, in
the rush to fill orders, people get care
less"
Chief Anselm also declared that the
came principle applies to dwellings.
particularly in areas where there are
housing shortages.
We can not afford to go ON burning
down places TO live 1T the present
rate" he stated. Not only must We
avoid losses Of this kind in the inter
est of the worker and his family. but
We must also remember that the cost
of building materials and Of Labor Is
going up and the expense Of replace
ments will have to be figured accord
ingly.
The fire department is redOubhng
its precautions and l hope all the cit
liens will do the same. DO all you can
10 prevent fire but be ready TO act
promptly if it does happen. Keep your
FIRE extinguisher charged and where
you can get il quickly. A small fire
can be put out easily. That way you
can prevent the cost and waste of
tdg fire"

Five Simple Rules for
y Making Good Pictures

Anyone from a IL year old school
boy to an octogenarian can make
good negatives, reports Hillary G..
Bailey, F.R.P.S., in Popular Pho
Biography magazine. 1t is just a mat
ter of following the rules laid down
for developing procedure.
FIRST - Read the instructions
which the manufacturer supplies
with each package. These instruc-
tons describe proper manipulation
for that particular type of film.
SECOND-Use reasonably fresh
developer. Keep track of age and
deterioration rate of your solutions.
Stay on the conservative side in ia
vor of freshness. Chemicals are
cheaper than films.
THIRD-Be fuSSy about using a
thermometer. All solutions should
be kept as near as possible to a
temperature of IS degrees Fahren-
heit.
FOURTH-Use a clock. to time de-
velopment. Too short development
reduces contrast, and too long in
creaSeS it,
FIFTH-Standardize on method
of agitation. The average worker
does this in tray developing by keep
ing the solution moving with a non-
directional rocking motion, But
with tank development, it is easy to
shake or jiggle the tank three times
during development on one occasion,
and on the next, shake it six times.
The result is that the contrast and
density of the negative agitated six
times is greater than theEone agi-
tated three times. If consistent re-
suits are expected, this factor alb
Solutely must be standardized.

Pies in Refrigerators

A device you may borrow from
commercial pastry makers is that
of holding ready-to-bake pies in the
refrigerator for an hour or more
before baking. The thoroughly
chilled pie, when baked, will have a
more tender crust than a pie which
enters the oven at room tempera-
;ture.
