Chemical Properties Of
Seaweed Being Studied

It is only within recent times that
the scientists have given serious at
tention to the chemical properties OF
seaweed. Few people realize what
a valuable marine plant this is and
how it might be used as substitute
for various essential materials
which are likely to become scarce
on account of the war situation.
Seaweed is well known as a use
full source of iodine, bromine and
potassium salts which are widely
used both in medicine and in indus
try. Experiments show that we can
obtain the basic substances for max
ing paper, clothing and even things
like glass and imitation rubber and
leather from this plant. Fresh dis
coveries are always being made too,
especially in the United States of
America, where the government has
financed experimental research sta
tons in connection with the great
kelp beds off the Pacific coast. In
the years ahead seaweed may be-
come one of the worlds most valu-
able and indispensable raw ma
terials.

Jefferson's Collections
Included Enormous Lion

Excited as hungry terrier was
Bryan Patterson when erosion re-
vealed deposit of old bones in
pasture near London Mills, Ill. Out
of the glacial blue clay came parts
of a hind leg, pelvis, forefoot, YER
tebrae, a molar tooth. Back in Chi
cago's Field museum, where he is
assistant curator of paleontology,
Patterson pieced the fragments to-
gether. Recently he announced that
he had one Of the finest fossil ground
sloths discovered in the U. S. since
1876. In that year the huge, ex-
tinct beast was first studied and
named 'sMegalonyx" by great U.
S. paleontologist, Thomas Jefferson.
When Col. John Stuart found some
fossils in a Virginia cave, he natu-
rally sent them to Monticello where
jefferson was known to include old
bones among his strange (and, folk
said, atheistic) interests. In 1877
jefferson described the fossil crea-
ture before the American Philosoph-
ical society (of which he was then
president) as kind Of enormous
lion because of its eight-inch claws.
Wrote he: ri cannot help be-
lieving that this animal, as well as
the mammoth, are still existing"
When Jefferson sent Lewis and
Clark up the Missouri river and
Capt. Zebulon Pike into the Rockies,
he half-hoped they might bag live
one.
This was not completely silly.
Megalonyx jeffersoni is so recent
that it's bones sometimes bear wisps
Of hair. Paleontologist Patterson
thinks that cave men helped to ex-
terminate the creatures though IAN
embrace from a sloth would have
made bears hug look like child's
play" In expecting to bag a Mega
lonyx, Jefferson was not wrong by
more than few thousand years"
AS bone-diggers measure time, this
was only day before yesterday.

Advance in Cancer Treatment

Science, through the use of sur
gerry, now has attained a firm foot
hold in its fight against cancer of
the esophagus, a disease once con-
sidered 100 per cent fatal.
Successful removal of the malig-
nant growths by surgery has been
reported by University of California
surgeons.
The surgeons stated the success
of their treatment should encourage
all to look more hopefully on the
treatment of cancer of esophagus.
Here, they said, as in other parts OF
the body, if the cancer can be dag
nosed early and surgical treatment
instituted without undue delay,
means are now at hand to provide
a satisfactory number of cured
patients.
The success of the surgery Is due
to the highly co-ordinated action of
a surgical team" backed by a
corps of laboratory workers and
specially trained nurses and mech
anized by highly specialized equip
rnent.
At present cancer Of the esopha-
gus is responsible for about 5 per
cent of all cancer deaths.

sFlammenwerfer' Used in
Killing Locust Swarm

Few plaques are so devastating
in their effects as swarm OF To-
Gusts. When in flight they throw
a definite shadow across the face OF
the sun and, when they land, all
edible vegetation for miles around
is devoured in matter Of minutes.
CA swarm may be 10 miles VIDE
and 20 miles long!)
One of the most spectacular ways
Of killing off such locust swarm
is by use Of the Flammenwerfer, or
flame gun, used by the Germans
against the British Tommy on the
fields of Flanders. A portable cyl
inder containing paraffin is carried
on the back and attached to the cyl
inder is length Of hose at the end
of which is a nozzle. When the cylin-
der is pumped up a jet of flame
shoots out of the nozzle for 10 yards.
To wade into a locust swarm with
a weapon is thrilling and impress
sive experience. The pests are
moved down in swathes as the roar
ing fame bites into the densely
packed devouring hordes. But such
are the tremendous numbers that
even this mass murder does not
greatly deplete their ranks.
Poison appears to be the most eff
ficient killer. In Egypt rice bran,
sweetened with molasses and poi
soned with arsenic, has proved very
effective.

New Wiping-Rag Rental
Service Growing Fast

Next time you drive into a serv-
ice station for fabrication job OBJ
serve the small, tough rags the
mechanic uses to wipe off excess
grease and oil. Until recently any
old rag served the purpose, or may
be q piece Of waste. The old
fashioned rags were thrown away,
or burned. Not SO the new-style
rags. When soiled, they're tossed
into a sack and periodically are
taken back to the laundry" for
rewashing, the same as shirts,
sheets and whatnots. And usually
the same rags are returned, clean,
at the next delivery.
Today the comparatively new
wiping rag rental service is a fast
growing industry. All kinds OF in
dustrial plants are cutting expenses
by using standardized wiping rags
over and over again-four to per-
haps 30 times before they are finally
worn out.
When the junk, or salvage, man
comes to your home, or plant, to
carry away discarded rags, he'll
probably sell them to wiping-rag
rental service plant. The plant then
cuts them into standard sizes, re-
moves pig tails, buttons, hooks, eyes,
and either sells them or rents them
out to manufacturing and industrial
plants.
The rental service plants buy
from mills standardized long leaf
staple cotton or Turkish loop weave
towels of various grades and
weights, and flannel dust rags to be
treated with hot wax. From salvage
men and other sources they pur-
chase flour sacks, sugar liners and
other types of rags. Black back
ground and scenery cloth is also
purchased from motion picture stu
dos. Then they contract with Gus
toners to supply them with towels
or rags, laundering them at speci-
fed intervals, for q certain price:
Most Of the plants operate fleets OF
delivery trucks.

Real Bomb-Proof Shelters

Although costly, it is possible to
build bomb-proof shelters which can
give full protection against any
known type of aerial bomb, engi-
neers at the University Of Califor-
MIA announced. Making concrete
shatter and bomb-proof has been
their main objective and Harmer
Davis, associate professor of civil
engineering, said it was found that
when concrete is reinforced-by
sprinkling nails in the mixture, add
ing pumice, pulled clay, or other
methodist becomes shatter-proof.
The energy of a projectile would be
spent in crushing the material in
such a wall locally instead of caus-
ing shatter cracks over large areas,
he explained.

Acid and Oranges

University of California scientists
find that acid soils are essential for
citrus trees. A long-continued satis-
factory growth of orange trees was
found to be unlikely in soils which
are on the alkaline side. 1t has been
pointed out by other scientists that
the alkaline soil content is likely to
increase with irrigation, some alkali
settling out of the water as the lat
ter evaporates. Iron sulphate, it is
said, is now being used in place of
aluminium sulphate for acidifying
soils. The acidity of California soils
has been proved to be higher than
previously was believed-a cheering
bit Of news for our orange industry.

HEALTH CONDITIONS salts.
FACTORY in STATE
Salts.

Following recent communications
from the Secretaries of War and
Navy on the subject, Governor Her
bert r. O'Conor announced the re-
ceipt of reports from DR.. r. H. Ril-
ey, Director of the State Department
of Health, and Colonel Beverly
ODER, superintendent of Maryland
State Police, indicating that the
situation in Maryland with regard to
control of venereal diseases is very
satisfactory and that the State De-
partment of Health is cooperating
fully with Federal efforts in this
direction.
The reports came as result of
letters directed to the Governor last
week by the Secretaries of Navy and
War, who requested the utmost con-
sideration on the part of all re-
sponsible State Agencies towards
elimination, as far as possible, of
sources of contamination, particu-
larly in the vicinity of training
camps, Naval stations, etc.
The Governor said, ''Dr. Riley,
as Chairman of the Committee on
the Control of Venereal Diseases,
by appointment of the Surgeon Gen.
eral of the United States Public
Health Service, was in consultation
in Washington with members of the
United States Public Health Ser
vice in regard to the matter. Mary
land, the Governor continued,
had very satisfactory venereal d.
sease control program during peace
times. The State Department of
Health has been furnishing medical
supplies for the treatment of cases
for many years. Clinics also have
been maintained throughout the
State so that there was no reason
why any diseased person should
have been deprived Of treatment. In
many places, patients have been
transported to and from the clinics
by bus.
cat the present time, Maryland
is conducting approximately SO
clinics, operating several days and
evenings week. DR.. Riley reported
that additional funds have been pro-
vided by the U. S! Public Health
Service for increased activities in
the defense areas of the State. These
funds will defray the expenses of
additional physicians and Public
Health Nurses, together with Social
work on the cases.
On May 18th, the 22nd Annual
Conference of the State Department
of Health will be held in Baltimore
and the entire afternoon will be de-
voted to the discussion of venereal
disease control. Specialists from the
Johns Hopkins Hospital and the
United States Public Health Ser
vice will join with representatives of
the State Health Department, to
impress the field men of the De-
partment with the magnitude of
this important public health pro-
gram.
Both Colonel Ober and DR.. Riley
have been in consultation with Off
Gals of the Third Army Corps Arear
and any additional necessary efforts
in the control of this disease will
be considered jointly by the three
agencies.

They'll Get The Hook

Uncle Sans Administration has
been manicuring trusts and monop-
olies for long time but there are
evidences that the scalping of a
lot of big business corporations has
not been abandoned. Industries
engaged in producing vital war ma
terials that are suspected of re-
stricting production, or engaged in
artificial price fixing, both in war
materials and farm products will
continually get the hook. A further
attack will be made upon firms that
restrict the distributing system af-
fecting food and housing. Labor
practices are as usual "open for con-
sideration", and they'll also 'get
the hook.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGIS.
LATURE DISCUSSED

As the result of cumulative evil
dence laid before it by heads OF
State departments of the need for
legislative as well as financial adj
justments to meet conditions of the
war emergency, the Legislative
Council unanimously undertook to
consider recommendation to Gov
ernor 0'Conor that he summon the
General Assembly into special ses-
sion.
The chief complaint of the heads
Of the various State department sis
that, due to the appeal Of higher
paid war industries, they are hav-
ing difficulty in maintaining opera
ting stats.

non,t Make Beds immediately

During sleep there is an increased
rate of breakdown of the fats in the
surface of the body, and also con-
siderable insensible perspiration
which clings to the bedclothes, and
which may penetrate the mattress.
The bed needs a good airing for an
hour or so each morning after it
has been occupied, in order to keep
1t sweet. The first thing to do aft
er getting out Of bed is to throw
the clothes completely off the mat
tress, and open the bedroom win
dows for couple of hours. More
fresh air is needed by the bed in
the morning than by the sleeper the
night before. The mattress needs a
weekly bath in the direct sunlight.
