STATE FUNDS FOR UNEMPLOYED
REACH $z3,OOO,OOO

Maryland's unemployment reserve
fund now has attained the all-time
high record of $73,00O,OO0, Cover
nor O'Conor announced.
In emphasizing the great value of
having such strong fund, the Gov
ernor declared that it will be one of
the best cushions" in the Postwar
period. The total sum already in the
fund exceeds all expectations as the
estimates indicated that the fund
would not reach such total during
the middle of the persent year AS of
June 30th, the fund was $68,74O,O00
but following the collection of con-
tributions on July 30th, it now has
reached its peak.
Interest credited to the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation Board
by the United States Treasury for the
half-year ending June 3Oth last
amounted to $688,816, which is $780,
032 more than the Board paid. to
the unemployed in the same period.
This was the first time in the Boards
history that income from interest
exceeded benefits paid.

Find Mushrooms Good
But Not After Cocktail!

A cocktail before mushrooms may
prove decidedly injurious, as was ac-
cidentally learned as the result Of a
test at the University Of California
herbariunn, which serves the public
In plant researches and reports.
A young woman who discovered
mushrooms in Strawberry canyon
north Of the university stadium, was
informed at the herbarium that they
were edible. Another woman, hear
ing Of the delicacies, collected a
quantity, but after eating became
quite Ill. The mushrooms were test
ed and found to be wholesome. Then
it was learned that the second wom-
an had had cocktail Immediately
before eating. Alcohol and mush-
rooms are to be avoided, say ex-
perts at the herbarium.
DR.. Lee Bonar, chairman Of the
botany department Of the Berkeley
campus, offers this confederation:
Several reports from Europe on the
use Of other mushrooms commonly
eaten for long period Of time and
considered wholesome state that
people who took alcohol along with
these were made i'll, while those who
had no alcohol suffered no discom-
fort. This tends to substantiate the
observations made here at the Uni
versity Of California

Freeze Soon

Once any produce is sealed In the
freezing container, the sooner it is
frozen, the better, since standing
causes deterioration. When 1t is i'm
possible to start freezing immedi-
ately after sealing, the containers
should be placed in the refrigerator.
However, they should not be held
at ordinary refrigerator temperature
for more than three or four hours.
Another important precaution is in
connection with storage after freez-
ing. If the highest quality is to be
preserved, low storage temperatures
must be maintained throughout. A
temperature of about zero (Fahren-
heit) is advisable. The Importance
Of this factor has only been real
lied during recent years. It is now
known that storage at higher tenn
peratures permits greater drying Of
the product, poorer flavor, color and
vitamin content.

Preventive methods have made
servicemen immune from several
Of the diseases which previously ran
rampant through armies. For in

old shots are given so there is no
longer any fear Of lockjaw. while a
typhus fever serum assures immu-
nifty from the plague which formerly

Sun Helps Swedish Industry

Almost fifth Of Sweden is above
the Arctic Circle. Climate is tenn
pered by the warm Atlantic currents
twisting into the Skagerrak. The po-
lar ice cap slipped off the southern
tip Of the peninsula thousands Of
years ago, left hundreds Of foot
prints as lakes, scanned the land
with rivers. Mountains rise rug
gedly in the north. Winter blankets
the land with cold and darkness.
Summer comes with a rush.
Biggest "sight" is the midnight
sun viewed from one Of the northern
peaks. The sun Is a worker as well
as a wonder. It thaws the northern
SHOWS, melts glacial ice, creates
streams that provide the white
coaI' for industrial power develop
ments. Before the war about two
thirds Of the country's 10000 miles
Of railway had been electrified. Elec-
tricity is tanning the wilderness, lug
ging ore from the iron-packed hills
in the north, taking the drudgery out
of farm and household chores.

Poison Bats KIN slugs

Special poison bats containing
metaldehyde are the best means Of
control for slugs, which cause I'M
usual damage to vegetable plants.
The unusual damage from slugs
Is due to abnormally cool, rainy
weather, favorable to the pests.
Slugs have soft unprotected bodies,
very sensitive to loss Of moisture
and in warm, dry weather are forced
to spend most Of the time under
ground where they cause little dam
age.
Slugs are snails without shells.
The most common kinds are about
one-haH to one inch long, dark coll
ored, and soft and slippery to the
touch. They feed at night and on
cloudy, rainy days and leave shiny
film Of mucous secretion Of slime"
wherever they 60. They attack
young tender plants of all kinds,
eating ragged holes in the leaves,
and often cutting of the stems Of
small plants much as cutworms do.

There are two motions Of q wheel
on moving vehicle-its rotation on
its axis and its motion forward. At
any given moment the highest point
and the lowest point of the circum-
ference are equal, one being as far
advanced as the other. If the wheel
moves forward one-fourth Of revo-
luton, the top point has moved for
ward a whole diameter more than
the bottom point because as the
wheel turns the top point moves for
ward while the bottom point moves
backward.
With respect to the center Of the
wheel all points rotate at exactly
the same speed-it could not be 9TH
erwise-but with respect to the road
the highest point Of the wheel moves
forward twice as fast as the center
Of the wheel and the lowest point
momentarily stops.

Reduction in Moisture
Prepares Grass for Silage

Farmers in recent years have
proved that grass silage keeps
satisfactorily and makes excellent
feed for all types of livestock, but
most of the silage has been made
by using molasses or phosphoric
acid as preservative. Ohio State
university agronomists say grass
silage will keep well without pre-
servatives if the silo really is air.
tight and if the forage contains be-
tween so and 10 per cent of moisture
when placed in the silo.
Standing grass or legumes contain
more moisture than 70 per cent so
they should be allowed to wilt after
cutting if the material is to be made
into silage without using preserva-
tive. Usually the moisture content
must be brought down from the origi-
nal content about 70 per cent to a
safe SO per cent. The removal also
makes the grass at least 10 per cent
lighter to handle.
Silage is preserved by the fornla-
ton of acids that are derived from
the fermentation of sugars in the
plants. Removing part Of the water
from plant does not increase the
total amount Of sugar present but
it does increase the proportion OF
sugar to total weight after part OF
the water has been evaporated.
Leakage from the bottom or sides
of silo is likely to occur if silage
contains more than 10 per Gent OF
moisture, and the liquid which is
lost contains an important amount
of nutrients. Forage which is prop
erly wilted viii not lose liquids by
leakage.

Not an inch Of workable land Is
wasted In China. BY carefully tend
ing the soil Chinese farmers have
made a square mile support $500
people. Fields titled for hundreds Of
years are still producing. Secret"
is in putting back what crops take
out. Chemical fertilizers are little
used.
Dependence for soil tonics is on
farm animals, on household waste
and refuse. Caravans are welcome
for the manure left at camps. Col
lecting city refuse, transporting 1t to
farm areas, and selling 1t to indi-
vidual farmers became a profitable
business.
From paddy, millstones remove
the hulls. Machines polish and
whiten the grains. Broken grains,
as nourishing as the whole ones, sell
for less. Hulls are saved for pack
ing materials and for fuel.

Nylon's Qualities Make Il
Good Fabric for Parachutel

Thousands of nylon parachutes
are riding the skies today In every
type of plane. Nylons are being
worn by navigators, radio operators,
pilots, bombardiers, gunners, para
troopers and glider troopers. The
nylon chute is the flying mans lad
der back to earth when the plane IL
knocked out or can't find room to
land.
Out at Wright Field, In Ohio,
where the army air forces try out
the newest developments, nylon has
long since been put through the
works, and came out with flying col
ors.
There Is an old saying among air
craft engineers that what aviation
needs is a material with no weight,
no bulk and infinite strength. Moth
ing in the world can fill that bill,
of course, but nylon comes closer to
it than anything else. It is very
light, occupies comparatively little
space and is strong, supple and
resilient. It has also the quality
that can only be described by the
word "toughness. In this combina-
ton of physical characteristics, n.y.
lon yarn is far better than silk ever
was.
Nylon has other properties which
make it valuable for parachutes.
When a flier balls out over the ocean
and his parachute is soaked in salt
water it is necessary, in the case Of
silk chute, to wash 1t out In fresh
water soon afterward to prevent in
jury to the fabric. But nylon re-
sists the effects Of salt water. It is
also less affected by mildew and
damaging insects.

Have New 'Speedometer'
For u. S. Fighting Ships

Science has streamlined the vital
job of keeping the ships log" Of
speed and distance on Americas
battle wagons.
An underwater log" a precision
instrument installed in the hulls Of
Uncle Sans fighting ships, has been
perfected by the Brooklyn marine
division of Bendix Aviation corpora
ton, pioneers in the development
and mass production Of such typical
ly automatic age" devices for sea,
land and air transport and commu-
nications industries.
"The underwater log" system, de-
veloped by the corporations engi-
neers, in cooperation with the navy,
is more than seagoing version Of a
speedometer. In addition to indicat-
ing rate of ships speed in knots per
hour, this salt water robot totalizes
in nautical miles the distance trav-
eled by a ship from a given bearing,
aids in the measuring Of the draft
and trim Of ship, and gives other
speed and distance indications i'm
portant for navigation and gunfire
control.
The underwater log" automati-
cally transmits its speed and distance
information by remote control to the
navigation officers on the ships
bridge, to the fire control and gum
merry officers in all parts Of the ship
and to the engine room. It's accu-
racy in constant operation as faith
full underwater watchdog is now
legend among the officers and men
of the U. S. fleet.
In conveys the underwater log has
been especially valuable in obtain
ing more accurate information than
previously possible concerning the
comparative speeds and daily dis
tances travelled by merchant ships
and escorting vessels.
