Irrigate Seed Flats

Workers at the Massachusetts, Ag-
ricultural Experiment station have
perfected method of watering seed
flats by subirrigation which pro-
notes more even termination, and
reduces loss of seedlings. Why not
try this method in preparing your
seed flats this year?
Inside the seed fiat, put an insert
of waterproof paper. On this water
proof paper place layer of gravel,
about one inch deep. Now place a
21S-inch flower pot on the gravel,
in the center of the fiat. Then fill
the fiat with a mixture of equal parts
of soil and sand, and pack this
around the pot and the edges of the
seed fiat. Firm and level the soil,
and sow seed in drills, or broad
cast and lightly cover. Apply water
in the flower pot, until the soil sur
face becomes moist. Excess moist
ure will drain into the layer of grav-
ell in the waterproof insert. Water
whenever surface soil shows signs
of dryness.

Everybody Color Blind

A considerable part of the retina
of every human eye is color blind.
The outer edge of the retina is to-
tally color blind, perceiving only
gray. Only in the center of the
retina are all colors seen. In the
band surrounding the central full
color area only yellow and blue col
ors can be distinguished. This area
in the normal human eye is red
green blind.
Studies of many persons disclose
that the three fields of color vision
vary greatly both in area and shape
not only from individual to individu-
al, but also in the two eyes of the
same person. Because of these diff
ferences color vision tests have been
suggested for the Identification, OF
people. Fingerprints may be mutt
lated, but person can not change
his fields of color vision. The size
and shape of the color fields of the
retina can be ascertained by an in;
genious optical instrument known as
q perimeter. !.

Oil Companies Turn to
Science to Find Deposits

Not many years ago the drilling
of a wildcat well was almost a pure
gamble. Early wildcatters pune
tured COW pastures and prairies for
no better reasons than wishful
thoughts or lunches. If the project
resulted in a dry hole-as it did
about 10 times out of 2O-the risk
taker was out of luck, and usually
out of the validating business as
WE'LL
Gradually big oil companies got
into validating, either directly or
by grub-staking individuals. In the
latter case the prospector, who is
useful as an assembler of leases, is
cushioned against the shocks of dry
holes and lives to wildcat another
day.
The oil companies, intent on TAX
ing some of the gamble out of wild
eating, and able to finance re-
search, turned to science for help.
They got it from physicists-short-
haired professors in corduroys and
knee boots who went into the dust
and mud of Texas, Oklahoma and
California to work out the prob
lens. In the last 10 years especial
ly they have developed methods
and instruments to such good effect
that wildcat wells are only about a
quarter as risky as they once were.

Great Painter Designed
Planes in Middle Ages

The great artist Da Vinci designed
several flying machines" Neigh
bors said after his death that he
tested one model near Florence, pos
sibly in the spring of 1906, taking
off from the top of Swan mountain.
He kept his experiments secret, re-
cording his observations in code.
He studied birds to learn the Sc
crets of fight. He applied himself
to problems of center of gravity,
equilibrium, airfoil, and other prin-
ciples that face modern designers.
He worked out theory for gliding.
He chose the bats wing as the most
practical model for an airplane
wing. One of his flying machines"
resembled an ironing board with
wings; the f1ier was to operate it
lying down-the position Orville
Wright took when he made his sue
cessful flight 400 years later.
Another Da Vinci model had four
movable wings that were made to
flap, in pairs by ropes and pulleys;
the fiier stood in suspended gon-
dola. The landing gear consisted of
ladders instead of wheels. A third
design resembled today's helicopter.
Instead of wings it had an overhead
propeller shaped like a modern
steamships screw. There is no rec
ord of the model which Da Vinci
tested. He failed not because he
didn't understand flying, but because
he lacked an internal combustion
engine and fuel.

GAS FOR VICTORY GARDENERS

Victory Gardeners will again be
granted special gasoline rations to
travel to and from their garden plots
this summer, the Maryland OPA has
announced. The amendment to the
gasoline rationing regulations. effect
i've April 5, 1914, sets forth the fol-
lowing conditions under which the
gardener may receive gasoline up
to 800 miles of travel for the season:
Cd He must be regularly cultivating
am area of at least 1900 square feet
devoted to the production of vege-
tables and his labor must be neces-
sary to its. cultivation; CD he must
make a ride sharing arrangement or
show, that no such ride-sharing ar
rangement can be reasonably made.
If the ride sharing involves the use
of more than one car, all applications
for the. special rations must be pre-
scented to the Board at the same time
and the total ration issued for all
cars in the groups must not exceed
500. miles. (3) He must show that
no alternative means of transporta-
ton is available; (4) the garden
should. be near to the individuals
year around home so that he can
visit the garden about twice week
during the period in which planting,
cultiyating, and harvesting must be
done, without needing more than the
800 miles provided in his special ra-
ton together with whatever mileage
is available, in his basic "a" ration.

POTATO PRICES

Prices for Irish potatoes grown in
Maryland in 1914 will be supported
during the July to 20 harvest, per-
iod, Joseph H. Blandford. chairman
of the Maryland Agricultural Adj
justment Agency, announced. They
will be supported on the basis Of
$3.50 per hundredweight for U. S.
No. l grade.
The 1913 commercial crop was
supported in Maryland at 1928 per
hundredweight for U. S. No. 1 grade.
Should surpluses tend to depress
prices in commercial areas the War
Food Administration will contract
with Gamers, dehydrators and other
professors for the use of surplus po-
tatoes. Diversion payments may be
made. Under these contracts the pro-
cessor would agree to pay the far
mer support prices and to sell his
product to the War Food Admins
tration for war uses, procurement
needs and public welfare distribu-
ton.
During the 1913 harvest the Food
Distribution Administration purchas-
ed 131 carloads or 3,987,000 pounds
of Irish potatoes from farmers in the
Maryland commercial areas to pre-
vent the market from falling below
government support prices, Niles S.

ton Administrator, reports. .

Go Forward

THERE is always right way
out of every difficulty. Though
human problem may appear
complicated, even alarming, there is
no reason for dismay if one is will
ing to rely Fundamentally on God
and allow the ever-operative law of
eternal Mind to guide him. When
material planning yields to divine
direction, harmony is certain to re-
suit. Unhappy conditions disappear,
often instantly, sometimes gradually,
and permanent healing of human dis
cord is attained. Such is the sure
result of unflinching faith in God,
omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient
Principle.
stirring example of what may be
accomplished through staunch faith
in Gods power to save is the story of
the children of Israel. Here is mar
rative that has never become trite or
threadbare. When the wanderers,
led by Moses, saw the Red Sea
straight ahead, and knew that Pha-
raoh's army was close upon their
heels, they became panlc-Stricken,
and small wonder. But right then
and there God made His presence
known to them through the mighty
command to Moses, "Speak unto the
children of Israel, that they go for
ward" We all know what happened.
They went forward, the Red Sea
opened before their unbelieving eyes,
and they passed through to the OPP
posite shore.
Such divine deliverance is in con-
slant evidence today among the chill
dren of men. 1t matters not whether
human problem be trivial affair
or of world Importance, mans divine
help is always at hand.
In short, many are beginning to
perceive that man is not, and never
has been, the unhappy victim of
some malevolent, nonunderstandable

BELL SYSTEM ARMY
HOLDING THEIR LINES
ON ALL FRONTS

The Bell System army of more than
$4,000 telephone men and women
was on the march in 1943. It was a
year in which telephone people
shouldered still heavier responsible
ties and heightened their strides to
meet the growing communications
needs of a nation turned from de-
fensive to offensive warfare on all
fronts.
The volume of long distance calls
remained the telephone industry's
most important problem. Average
daily toll conversations in 1913 hit a
new high of 100000, a gain of
nearly 100000 completed calls day
over the 1912 average. Total long
distance messages for the year were
about 150,000,000, as compared with
115,0O0,00O in 1912. By the end of
the year there were $4,000 operators
handling this record volume of local
and long distance traffic. This is the
largest operating force in history.
BY effective use of the facilities at
hand, the Bell System companies were
able to fill service requests resulting
in a gain of 1,233,70O telephones
in spite of the increasing diff
culties in obtaining sufficient ma
terials to supply service for essential
war use. This brought the system
total to new high of 21,246,000
telephones. the total for the entire
telephone industry in the United
States being 26,OOO,OOO.
More than $500 Bell System en-
ployees are now serving in the armed
forces. Over 5000 of them are
women. Something over $4,000 of the
men are in the Army, and 40 per cent
of these are in the Signal Corps.

cable to the New Jersey shore. The
listing appears in the Jersey City

tional Park Service-Statue of Lib

in Iceland used melted toothpaste
tubes salvaged from their buddies as
a substitute for wiping solder to splice

many difficulties in Iceland, with one
of the major tasks that of laying
cable in the lava-hardened earth.

influence. They are beginning to see
that the real man, spiritual and per-
feet, is truly Gods well-loved son.
Today millions are turning stead
lastly to God for direction and help.
They refuse to be dismayed by mate
rial calamities, because they know
that eternal Principle, though I'M
seen, is ceaselessly at the helm.
Truth is certain to uncover errors
futility, and the unmasking will con-
tinue until harmony is recognized
and attained. On page 542 of "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy
writes: "Let Truth uncover and de-
Stroy error in Gods own way, and
let human justice pattern the divine.
Sin will receive its full penalty, both
for what it is and for what it does.
Justice marks the sinner, and teaches
mortals not to remove the way
marks of God. To envy's own hell,
justice consigns the lie which, to adj
vance itself, breaks Gods command
mentS."
Gods unerring government,
through which an undesirable pur-
pose runs, is adequate for the adjust
ment of personal difficulties and
world affairs. Even world en-
meshed in the tolls of carnal warfare
is not beyond or outside the divine
compassion. We must pray con-
stantly. Doubt, fear, or skepticism
achieves nothing. Strong trust in
God is our greatest weapon, not only
for ourselves, but for our loved ones,
wherever they may be. The tender
message of the Christ comes to
everyone today in the words of
Jesus to his disciples John 14:27) !:
"Peace leave with you, my peace
give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give l unto you. Let not your
heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid"
