Blood Plasma

A new technique has been devel-
oped in combat areas whereby blood
plasma is administered in four
places in a mans body sinultane-
ously, in order to get it into him
quickly enough to save his life. One
bottle of plasma is fed into each
arm and one bottle is fed to the pa
tient in each leg. That should give
some idea of the importance of
speed in administering plasma. In
many cases of traumatic shock, if
plasma is administered within As
minutes a life is saved. An hour
would be too late.
AS many as 10 pints have been re-
quired to save the life of one man.
Cases using two and three pints
are not at all uncommon. AS a mat
ter of fact, because of this, now
packages are being made up with
full quarts of plasma rather than
pints because a pint is so seldom
enough to do the job.

Says Story of Lost
Continent Was Hoax

There was never a lost continent
of Atlantis, DR.. George Clapp Vail
liant of Philadelphia, director of the
University of Pennsylvania mu-
scum, declared.
Evidence shows that Plato, the
Greek philosopher and writer, Gre
ated the fiction of a lost land in the
Atlantic ocean, west of the Pillars
of Hercules, now known as the
straits of Gibraltar, to put over
certain ideas and to break down the
idea that the Egyptians had an old
er civilization than the Greeks" Dr..
Valiant said.
"Scrutinizing Plato's story in the
light of our modern archaeological
knowledge of the ancient world,
and the success which modern schol-
ars have had in reading the written
records of the Egyptians, Sumerians
and Babylonians, which go back long
before the founding of Greek civil
cation, we find no reference to At
lantis, nor for that matter to Ath-
ems" he explained. "Plato was
giving his home town, for the pur-
pose of invention, greater ANTIGUA
ty than was really the case"

A mulch which is applied to the
ground after it has been frozen will
prevent unreasonable thaws and
thus serve to reduce heaving, damp
ness and standing water. But the
nature of the mulch should vary ac-
cording to the plants protected.
There are some plants which do not
die down to the ground when winter
sets in, but retain crown above
the surface which should live
through. Foxgloves and canterbury
bells are examples. Any perennial
which on examination after freezing
weather is seen to have top growth
still alive belongs in this class. 1t is
important that such plants shall not
be smothered by mulch which
shuts out air, since this will usually
result in rotting and death. In such
cases a mulch of corn stalks, ever
green boughs, pruned stems of
shrubs, or even an upturned basket
ANY material which will shade the
ground without shutting out the air,
should be chosen. Plants of this
class should be in the high spots
of the border where surface water
drains quickly.

Apples Improve Quality
If Held on the Trees

Keeping apples hanging on the
trees by preventing pre-harvest drop
through use of a hormone spray,
or by actually supporting unsprayed
fruits with adhesive tape to hold
them on, results in increased size,
added color, superior flavor, and
good keeping quality, compared
with apples harvested eight days ear
lier All of these advantages are
in addition to the elimination of con-
siderable loss of fruits that become
culls when they are bruised and cut
in dropping from the trees just pre-
vious to harvest time.
In an experiment reported by
DR.. E. P. Christopher and S. A.
Pieniazek of the Rhode Island agri-
cultural experiment station at Kings
ton, several large Mcintosh trees
were sprayed with one of the COM
mercial hormone products at the
manufacturers recommended
strength. All fruits were harvested
eight days after treatment.
The volume of the individual
apples showed an average increase
of 1928 per cent during the eight
days, according to the report. The
fruits harvested at the time of treat
ment had an average of SO per cent
of the surface colored, while those
left for the eight days had 70 per
cent. Based on ratings by group
of tasters, the fruits held on the
tree by either hormones or tape
were distinctly more desirable than
those harvested earlier. The fruits
held by hormones and tape kept
equally well, and both lots kept bet
ter than the early-harvested fruit.

Old Yankee Clipper
Ships Famed for Speed

The clipper was, beyond doubt, the
most beautiful sailing ship ever
made, distinctively American and
characterized by fine, clean lines.
They were used, largely, on long
routes, notably the 'tea" trade. 1t
was felt at the time that a long sea
voyage would destroy the delicate
flavor of tea, consequently, the ships
were constructed for speed.
In Canton, China, the clippers vir-
tually had corner on the tea trade.
British ships reduced their tariff
rates from over two shillings cubic
foot to about a shilling. American
clipper owners asked and received
70 cents a cubic foot or nearly three
shillings. We were able to earn the
higher rate because our clippers
could make the trip from Canton
to England in three months as COM
pared with the six months taken by
British sailing ships.
The discovery of gold in California
further stimulated shipping. Clip
pers were ideal for the California
run. Potatoes sold for SIG bushel
in California and eggs commanded a
price of $40 a dozen-which gives
a rough idea of the freight rates
charged by the clippers. Often a
single trip paid for the cost of con-
struction of the ship!

U. S. WAR PRISONERS FEAR WE
UNDERESTIMATE GERMAN


American prisoners of war in Ger
why strikes are permitted in our de-
tense industries and seem to feel that
Americans as a whole do not UNDER
stand the terrible seriousness of this
war, according to Larry Allen, noted
war correspondent who spent twenty
months in Axis prison camps.
And German newspapers are max
ing the most of these strikes as a
means of stiffening German resist
ance.
Aliens first-hand impressions. of
what American prisoners think about
in German prison camps are given in
an article in the January issue of
Cosmopolitan magazine in which he
lists as the major thoughts of the
American captives:
"How anyone could strike in a de-
Tense industry in the United States
when men were dying for their coun-
try, and why the President and Con-
gress did not outlaw all walkouts for
tie duration.
"That we didn't want silly senti-
mental letters from loved ones back
home, but all the news they could put
into them.
"That our home folks should write
more and more often. and send only
food in private parcels, for that was
what we needed most
That anyone in the United States
who complains about conditions or
food rationing ought to have taste
of life behind barbed wire, for then
he would appreciate how much he
has.
Whether, when it was all over
and we got back home, we should see
the usual f1ag-waving and after that
get gentle brush-off Sorry buddy,
no jobs OPEN"
But the principal concern of the
American prisoners appears to be
that the homefront has no realization
of what we are up against, according
to Allen, who quotes Lieutenant
Thomas Holt of Oak Ridge, N. c., as
saying:
"You know this worries me. Some
people back home think this is going
to be a walkaway, but over here we
know the Germons will fight as long
as Hitler lives. This might go ON for
ears unless we put into it everything
we've got''
81 know, too, from my own exper-
ience," Allen states THAT the Ger
mans are bitter in their hatred of us
and our Allies and appear determined
to fight to the last gasp"

Fruits containing both pectin and
acid, such as crab apples, tart ap-
pies, grapes, ounces and plums, are
best for jellies. Some of the fruit
used should be ripe to irnpart fla
vor,, and some underripe to furnish
extra pectin. Overripe fruit does
not make good jelly. To test for
pectin, add tablespoon of juice to
/ tablespoon of denatured alcohol.
If a. solid jelly-like mass forms, the
juice is rich in pectin; if it is jelly
like but soft, the juice is moderately
pectin rich, and if there are only
small particles of the jelly-like SUBJ
stance, insufficient pectin Is present.
Fruits lacking pectin may be COM
bined with other pectin-rich fruits,
or commercial pectin may be add
ed. To test for acid, compare the
taste of the juice with mixture Of
! teaspoon of lemon juice and s tea
spoons water. If the juice is lacking
in acid, add ! tablespoon strained
lemon juice for each cup fruit juice.

Ancient BallOting

Popular suffrage was already
common in ancient Greece and
Rome in the first historical records.
Kings called their people together
in an assembly and asked for opin-
ions on important matters by call
ing for a shout or asking the peo-
pie to clash spears against their
shields in assent to whatever ques-
ton was presented. The practice OF
the Athenians was to take show of
hands. A secret ballot was also
used, votes being in the form of peb-
bles or pieces of pottery placed into
urns. Because of the political and
economic conditions in ancient
Rome, open suffrage became cor
rupt through intimidation and other
abuses. This was corrected with a
secret ballot called the "tabella," a
chip of wood coated with wax.

Find New Way to Infect
Rats for r. B. Tests

Heretofore, rats and mice have
been little used in the study of
tuberculosis because it has been
difficult to infect them with the dis
ease, but recently tubercle bacilli
were mixed with salt water and
introduced into the noses of 40 young
white rats. When the rats breathed,
the germs were drawn into their
lungs. This method had previously
been used successfully in injecting
rats and mice with whooping cough.
The rats began to die in about
two weeks, as a result of the infec-
ton, and after about three months,
the remaining rats were killed. The
lungs were much larger than those
of normal rats, and showed some,
though not all, of the changes found
in the lungs in human tuberculosis.
1t may be that if the rats had been
allowed to live longer, more changes
characteristic of human tuberculosis
would have been found. The disease
appeared to have remained localized
in the lungs, little evidence of it
being seen in other parts of the
body.
The disease destroyed much of the
vitamin A in the lungs, and some of
the vitamin in the livers of the rats.
We have also found that patients
suffering from tuberculosis do not
absorb vitamin A when it is given
by mouth as well as healthy per-
sons do, and that the amount of the
vitamin circulating in their blood is
often much less than normal.
Since vitamin A is essential for the
proper functioning of the tissues of
the body, it is recommended that
patients with tuberculosis receive
an abundant supply of this vitamin.

SOIL CoNsERvERs oRGANIzE

The formation of "a state associa-
tions of Soil Conservation Districts
adds to the evidence that soil conser-
walton is taking deep root in Ameri
can agriculture, the Soil Conserva-
ton Service says in a statement re-
viewing 1914. These associations,
formed within the last two years,
bring together the farmer leaders of
more than 600 districts.
AS 1914 drew to close, there
were 1888 soil conservation districts
in As states, comprising approximate
ly 658 million acres of land and more
than million separate farms and
ranches. The formation of these state
wide organizations indicates a trend
toward wide scale joint action in SOL
wing soil and water conservation
problems 1t is believed that they will
encourage increased effectiveness in
TIE application of conservation mea-
sures because of the freer inter-
change of ideas between districts.

Tannin Material

Tannin bark is a phrase familiar

know that the tanning of cattle hides
is vital and essential factor in the
production of most leather goods.
Divi-divi is another source Of tannin
material, most of our supply coming
from Cuba. In general it's habitat
fronts the waters of the Caribbean
from Mexico to Venezuela. Divi-
divi is small tree, rarely more
than 80 feet in height, but it bears

Vaccinations Cut Lockjaw
Incidence in Services

Tetanus, or lockjaw, serious and
often fatal disease that is likely to
attack men who suffer battle wounds
or other injuries, has been virtually
eliminated In the American armed
forces as a result of compulsory inn
muniZation of all officers and men.
Not single case of tetanus has
been reported among completely
vaccinated troops. There has been
handful of cases throughout the
entire army, but these occurred only
when the immunization process had
not been completed. In some in
stances men developed tetanus be-
fore they had been vaccinated.
The navy, which also requires
tetanus immunization, has had no
cases of the disease among sailors
or marines wounded in combat up
to September Is, 1914, according to
the navy bureau of medicine and
surgery.
The bacillus that causes the dis
ease is found in soil, particularly
that polluted by animal manure. In
this stage it is dormant in the form
of a spore. 1t becomes active again
when released in an open wound. AS
the bacillus develops it excretes a
poison which attacks the nervous
system and results in paralysis.
The spores may live for years in the
soil. Thus the disease is an ever
present menace.
