The major share of the costs in- cured resulted from the operations of the guard system on the city's pipe lines and reservoirs where 16 men and train dogs patrolled the area against sabotage efforts by Axis secret agents. All of these men will be released shortly-and, we presume, the dogs will return to chasing dogs other than of the Nad breed.
 1943 Peak Year
 The year 1943 was the peak year of activities parallel with the fury of the war during that year. The city's expenditure then was a total of $76,403, although 1A2 had at- tained s71 ,649 cost The year 1941 saw the nucleus of protective system being formed by the late Mayor Vincent A.

Chicago, June 1-(UP)-Civilians L. will have about three-fourths as many canned vegetables this year as in 1944, and approximately one half as many canned beans and to- matoes, a representative of the Department of Agriculture said to- day.
 Ernest G. Moore, Washington, D. C., told delegates at regional con- ference on home food production that poor spring weather and low supply of canned vegetables de- manded even more victory gardens than last year.

Son of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter E.

sang in the college glee club,
was elected to Alpha Zeta, hon.

senior year, with high scholastic
rating, TO enter service.
Lieut.. Snider has brother,

Value Of Amino

CHICAGO-UP-Amino acid
products, designed primarily for
sick people unable to get ade-

same fate as vitamin tablets, it is
feared by the American Medical
Assn.
Amino acids are the most re-
cent discovery of importance
made by nutritionists who have
learned of the existence of %
different types. They are pro-
tein fractions, spok of as
building blocks for blood, bones
and all other body fluids and
tissues.
Ntritionists hope that "other-
wise intelligent citizens will not
create Juror for amino acids as
they did for vitamins, by snatch
ing at tablets, capsules and drops
to correct everything from tooth
ache to inability to hang pictures
straight Mrs. Miriam Zeller
Gross, New York City, declared
in the February issue Of "Hy-
geia."
Like vitamins, amino acids
are usually obtained by eating
the proper foods" she continued.
Foods of animal origin contain
all the needed amino acids in
varying amounts and combina-
tons, but vegetable proteins sup
plement those of animal origin"

ov than the middle range atoms
But the heavy atoms, such as Uran
ium, have very much greater
store of the force.
To date only the power OF the
heavy, excess energy atoms
Uranium, Plutonium, Protactlnlum
and Thorium have been tapped
All four have so much excess that
thew split easily. A few Election
volts NAV cause a split. And if left
alone. they break down by spontan'
co.'s loss of energy, turning them
selves into atoms with less energies.
In tapping this energy OF the
heavy weights, the scientists have
done nothing except to discover and
use a natural phenomenon which
has been going on for three billion
wears without harming the earth or
its inhabitants.
They have done only the job OF
bringing together enough OF these
splitting atoms in one compact
mass to make a bomb. 1t appears
that even as much as one COM
pact pound of this atomic dynamite
such as a lump or handful, is per-
fectly safe. But ton of it brought
together would be the most dan
gerous thing in the world.
Uranium, both the common KIND
and 1875, is sparsely distr buted.
There is not enough for a cham
reaction, ike a chain OF powder, to
spread in the earth either to ex-
,plode or make a fire.
All the other heavy elements that
mack the excess force, likewise are
thinlv attributed. They are also
scarce. They cannot be set off In
the earth by any kind OF atomic
use because they are too widely
scattered.
All explosion that could destroy
the earth is theoretically easy. This
earth shaker should be among the
elements that are plentiful, like
iron. silicon or aluminium. These
are richly sowed in the earth S
crust. The silicon, in the sands Of
the sea, is closely packed for miles
Aluminium is everywhere in clay
But all these plentiful elements
belong to the middle range, where
the atomic cores have less energy
There isn't even a good idea as t.
what might cause these plentiful
atoms to split, much less to explode
unless it is war secret.
The Neutrons which explode
atomic bombs, have no splitting ef
feet on the cores of iron, aluminium
or silicon. Nor on the cores of the
atoms of the other plentiful ele
ments.
The Neutron hits on the common
elements produce merely transmu
tations. The cores O. the common
atoms capture the NeutrRs alb.
strong force of attraction. Tn
capture gives the atoms an extr;
particle. Thereupon the atom rear
ranges itself, emitting Elections o

ment. This change, however, doe
