SMOKE AND FIRE
RISE OVER ROME
Continued from Page One)

VNOHtIHucu from rage One)
dropped their first bombs a big
sheet Of flame issued from a string
of box cars. From then on the
whole railroad yard was a mess
Of smoke and fire. Off to the right
the Lorenzo yards were burning
but the rest Of the city was COM
pletely peaceful"
The raid was very heavy but
may not quite have equaned the
proportions of the first raid, on
July 10, when more than 500
bombers escorted by 200 fighters
unloaded 1,100 tons Of bombs on
railways and airfields.
The attack was driven home
without the accompaniment Of spe-
cial statements such as charac-
terized the first raid. Nor were
any messages planned to explain
to the Italians why the Allied
commanders found it necessary to
attack Rome.
The raid was executed by the
Strategic Air Force commanded
by Maj. Gen. James H. Doolittle.
Except for especially careful brief
ing of the crews it differed in no
way from Allied bombings Of any
other Italian cities.
The navigators, many Of whom
participated in the July raid, again
were given stringent instructions
to avoid the proximity of chur-
ches, shrines and historic monu-
ments. The bombardiers were for
bidden to release their bombs un.
less they were absolutely certain
they had the targets clear in their
sights.
The hazards from anti-aircraft
fire and fighters were increased
by the enemy's almost certain
knowledge that railroad yards and
airfields would be the only OBJ
Electives.
Today's huge bomber fleet was
escorted by an unannounced num-
Der of Lightning fighters.
The first waves of Flying Fort
resses went in high over the San
Lorenzo target soon after II A. M.
At approximately th? same time,
medium Mitchells and Marauders
roared in at low levels to drop
their bombs and spray the already
flaming target area with tracers.
A special communique issued
Immediately after the raid said
laconically: "'Srong forces today
attacked marshalling yards at
Rome"
The daylight attack today fol-
lowed a night raid by Britain
based bombers which smashed at
industrial and communica tions
targets at Milan and Turin in
northern Italy.
An Air Force commentator
pointed out the strategic impor.
tance of Rome to the Axis com.
munications system, saying the
Italian capital must be considered
like any other military objective.
The San Lorenzo yards in the
east central district of Ro. 'e con.
meet rail traffic between Florence
in the north and Naples to the
south. The Littorio yards serve
the Genoa traffic. Heavy German
military traffic has been pouring
through the two yards.
Other heavy, medium and light
bombers from the Northwest Al
rican and Middle East commands
meanwhile contributed the weight
Of their bombs and the sting o1
their tracers to the about Allied
effort to forge Italy from the war.

Romans. The Romans, In their
turn, gave many words to the
French, and the French passed them
on to England!
One Of our words which goes back
to the Greeks is "stalactite." 1t
means "oozing out in drops" or
dripping"
A stalactite is hard, pointed
object which usually hangs from a
ceiling or ledge. 1t is roughly in
the shape Of a cone, with the point
downward.
We usually think OF stalactites
as being found only in caves, but
they also are formed in other places.
Many old stone bridges have them
hanging above the water.
When only 100 years old, a bridge
in Edinburgh, Scotland, had stalac-
tites as much as an inch and q half
thick at the base. These had come
from dripping water which had
carried bits of lime through little
holes in the bridge. The lime had
come from cement and mortar be-
tween the stones.
Even icicles are claSsed as sta
lactites. They come from water
which drips slowly in cold weather,
and are seen most often at the
edge of a roof. When the drops
fall slowly enough, they freeze on
the way down and make the icicle.
The stalactites in caves are prob
ably the most interesting. Instead
of forming in a few hours, as an
icicle often does, they take thou
sands Of years to reach large size.
BY studying their rate of growth,
We have been able to estimate the
age Of caves.
Drops Of water may pass through
small holes in the ceiling of lime
stone cave. Many drops of water
turn into vapor, instead Of falling
to the floor of the cave When that
happens, they leave behind bits Of
lime (or Carbonate of limeD to
add to the size of the stalactite.
The drops which fall to the floor
of the cave tend to build up Sta
lagmite," and this, too, comes from
bits of lime in the water. Some
times a stalagmite grows high
enough to meet a stalactite.

The latex Of the Guatemala spe-
cies contains about 10 per cent
water and two-thirds of l per

the organic matter is a waxy sub
stance that is very much like chicle
chewing gum-from Achras "a

Although the COW tree grows
much more rapidly than the chicle
tree (Sapodilla), tapping expert
ments have shown that it is not
we'll adapted to plantation culture,
as the rate of recovery from in
ciSions Is too slow. The latex fresh
from the tree, used as a refresh-
ing drink or in coffee, has a creamy
favor and retains its freshness and
f1uidity for several weeks, but to-
ward the last acquires an objec-
tionable odor.
1t Is also very viscid and is rather
difficult to remove from the hands
or. indeed, from whatever it
touches-and it is this property
which makes it an excellent sub
stitute for glue, and would, by the
same token, make it an unSatis-

COW TREE
(C0nn,G Ondtemnlensis)

Some time ago this column told
the story Of the elephant tree, q
dweller of our arid Southwest. Re-
Gently. We learned that South
America possesses q famous group
Of trees known as COW trees. These
trees produce milk that the ma
tives drink and used in their cof-
fee.
So We found out something more
about COW trees. There are six
known species. All are Of medium
size to large and flourish near
Puerto, Guatemala, and Southern
British Honduras. There are two
famous COW trees native to Vene-
zuela, one known as wild COW, the
other as wild goat. The COW tree
also produces edible fruit. The most
celebrated Of the COW trees, pale
de vaca, was ably described by
Humboldt, the famous explorer. II
is the one shown here. The un-
civilized Indians valued this tree
highly-not for its milk, but for its
bark, which could be used for cloth
ing and bedding.
These trees have a smooth bark
with an abundance Of latex which
flows freely from incisions and Is
sweet and palatable-that Is, witt
