Steamy Borneo Really
Is a STORY Book Land

Allied invasion of Borneo has re-
opened the worlds third largest is
land, after Greenland and New
Guinea. 1t is "story book" terri
tory lying between the Japanese
homeland and the main nerve GEN.
tiers of the Netherlands Indies, says
the National Geographic Society.
Borneo, straddled by the equator,
is the typical tropical land dreamed
about by stay-at-home readers of
travel stories, fictional and true. In
many sections rankly growing vines
lace trees together from ground to
top. Rare and beautiful orchids
thrive in the shadows. Spikelike
thorns tear at clothing and flesh, and
paths can be kept open only by con-
tinual hacking with heavy swordlike
knives. The steaming heat is OPP
pressive. Twenty-foot pythons glide
along the ground and among the
branches; shrieking, agile little glib
bons and numbering orangutans
swing through the trees; crocodiles
infest streams.
Flying Frogs, Midget Deer.
Numerous other wild animals in
clude tiny, foot-high mouse deer,
honey bears, wild pigs, rhinos, and
elephants. Among Borneo's queer
creatures are the flying foxes-which
are bats-and the flying frogs, which
have webbed feet of extreme width
that serve as parachutes when they
make mighty leaps.
Borneo's air is filled with the shrill
ear-piercing sounds of myriads of
insects. Mute butterflies show their
vivid colors against the varied
greens of the jungle. Scorpions and
"sting fiies'' make life unhappy for
the islands residents, who must also
face the ravages of woodworking
termites. Many a European wife
has removed a cupboard to find it
had no back, or seen her beds and
chairs fall apart from the hidden
invasions of these ant pests.
Headhunting in Jungles.
1t is estimated that Borneo has a
population of around three million,
of whom - before the war - only
about $500 were Europeans. Native
peoples known as Dyaks make up
the majority of the inhabitants, with
additional groups of Javanese, Chi
nese, Arabs, and so-called Malays,
the latter comprising not only true
Malays, but those of other races
protesting the Mohammedan faith.
An interesting feature of native
life in Eorneo is the community
dwelling, or long house." built on
stills and often decorated with hu-
man skulls. Under one roof, whole
village, with dozens of families, may
be accommodated. Deep in the in
terror, tattooed and much ornament
ed savages, recalling the circus ad-
vertisements of the "Wild Man of
Borneo," still practice headhunting
and strange rites and feasts in hon
or of the dead.

Echo Caught
On Rador Receiver

Perhaps at this point we ought to
recall to your minds what an
electron is. A short definition of an
electron is "the most elementary
charge of negative electricity"
Elections plus protons (the positive
charge) are what atoms are made
of and atoms are what molecules
are made of and you and I and the
universe and all it contains are, as
we learned in high school, nothing
but various groups of molecules.
Ordinarily electrons pursue the
even, if rapid, tenor of their ways
well within the bounds of their own
atoms. But radar has changed all
that. 1t has made it possible to
project those electrons out into
space and then, if they hit some
thing and bounce back, to catch the
echo" on the scope" of the radar
set in the form of "blip' or blob
of light.
We can't go into detail as to how
this operation takes place, but we
can tell you in a general way. The
scope of the radar set is round. 1t
is like a map. North at the top,
south at the bottom; east to the right
and west to the left. So that you
will know where you are a little
light appears on the screen just
where your set is located on the
map" you are looking at. BY NOV
ing the instrument, you can keep
yourself in the middle. If you see
another spot of light on the screen
up where IL O'Clock would be on
your watch dial, you know there is
plane Cor other object) north of
you. If it should be plane and it
were coming toward you (Which the
instrument would reveaD and it
finally appeared right on top of the
light that showed your location,
you'd know that there was going to
be collision.
Radar can "see" a ship 80 miles
away-and see it in the dark,
through a wall of cloud or mist,
which no human sight could pene-
trate.
Different substances give stronger
or weaker "echoes" on your screen,
water little or none. Land more,
built-up areas more than fields.
Rocks more than softer surfaces.
In addition to locating an object
in relation to the observer (the loca-
ton of the radar set), the distance
from the object can be calculated
by the length of time it takes for
the electrons to reach the object and
bounce back. The elevation (angle
of height from observer) and the
DETECTION chow far to the right or
left) are calculated just as a sur

lin a previous article Mr.. Baukhage told
some Of the little kno,cn facts in the history
and Development OF radar and recorded
article he explains iUhat makes radar tick
and ho,D it performed some OF its marvellous
feats in this Uar.J
Impact" publication of the Of
flee of the assistant chief of air staff,
intelligence branch, for the first
time lifting the veil which has COW
cred descriptions of radar, says Sue
cinctly: IA radar set is nothing
more than a machine for sending
electrons out into space in a steady
stream in desired direction. These
electrons travel with the speed of
light in a straight line until their
energy is dissipated, or unless they
bump into something"
That bump is important. If a
stream of electrons is shot into the
air like a searchlight and a plane
flies across the stream, the cleo
irons which hit the plane bounce
back. They bounce right back to
screen in the radar scope and are
revealed in the form of "blip"
of light, just as an echo bounding
back on your eardrum is reflected
in the form of sound.
The principle of the real echo is
used in "sonic" location of obsta-
cles-ships use it to locate shoals,
for instance. And, recently, it has
been demonstrated that bats use
the same principle in avoiding OBJ
stacles (Which they can't see since
they are blind) by uttering a tiny
"beep," the pitch of which is prob
ably too high for the human ear to
catch. Their beep bounces back in
time to warn them to duck.
But radar's electronic 'blip" is
better than a sonic "beep" One
reason is that an electron moves
with the speed OF light which is fast
er than sound.

Grass Seed Turns
Waste Land Into
Green Pastures

The need for beef and beef prod
ucts is so great these days that all
available feed must be utilized. And
one feed is grass. Grass is meat
for our fighting men, for civilians
and for lend-lease.
Native grass seed stands well to
the forefront of the feed picture. Ma
tive grasses are handy, economical
and highly palatable. They supply
about IS per cent of the forage and
feed for livestock in the western
range states.
As result of the plant explora-
tons of the U. S. Soil Conservation
Service among native species grow
ing here in America, specifically to
find better soil-conserving and range
forage plants, number of grasses
not previously cultivated have been
brought into use.
The seed of a number of native
grasses could not be purchased any,
where a few years ago. The SCS
personally had to collect all the seed
needed for its land rehabilitation
projects. But, since then, the agen-
cy has carried on an educational
campaign for the harvesting, proc
essing and planting of the seed. In
terest in the importance of the seed
was spurred. Prices went up. The
seed of number of native grasses
is now being sold on an important
scale by SeedSmen. The establish
ment of new farm industry-col-
lection of wild grass seeds-has been
the result. The SCS can now buy
most of its seed from farmers and
ranchers.
Just what are the native grasses?
Some of the principal ones are buf-
falo grass, blue grama grass. side
oats grama, various bluestem
grasses, switchgrass, sand dropseed,
tobosa grass, western wheatgrass,
galleta, Indian grass, and various
wild-rye grasses.
Some of these native grasses took
quite beating from expanded dry
land farming in the latter part of
the 18th century. Farmers kicked
up more dust than the laundering
herd. Subsequent drouths and severe
winter storms didn't help matters
any. The "dust bowl was inevi-
table.
Much of the range area is eroding
to certain degree. On most farms
IN the Great Plains and western
states there are fields that should
be revegetated, and the native
grasses of the region, together with
a few adapted introduced grasses,
have proved most suitable for the
purpose.
Although farmers have come to
the rescue of the land by provid-
ing grass cover for more than rs
per cent of the former dust bowl, still
more native grass seed is needed
It is needed for producing meat, for
curing "sick" land, and for healing
unsightly gullies.
In considering the particular use
to which grass known to be ex-
cellent in erosion control can be put,
it is necessary first to know where
this grass will grow. If a grass
that protects and enriches the soil
grows on many different types of
soils and under a wide range of
climatic conditions it will rank high
among the grasses used in conser-
walton paintings.
Since artificial revegetation re-
quires planting, the seeding habits
of grasses must be studied. Some
grasses shatter their seed soon after
it ripens, some are not reliable seed
producers, and some grow only in
scattered stands or in locations in
accessible to harvesting machinery.
Other native stands produce seed of

Poke Out
Japs' Eyes

OAAS VA SAiS ASoooiio why AVN llllo
and Okinawa were so important, be-
sides the fact that they make ex-
cellent naval and air bases, is be-
cause the Japs had their radar de-
lection stations on these islands and
were able to detect the presence of
our bombers and intercept their
flight. You will also recall that a
number of little adjacent islands
that hardly seemed of any impor-
lance were seized by our troops.
In all probability it was because
they had radar installations which
could detect and give warning of
planes leaving the larger island for
Japan. AS we put out her "eyes"
one after another, Japan becomes
more impotent. There have been
many cases, you may have noticed,
where the Japs, on land or on small
ships, have been taken by surprise.
! have nc information on this SUBJ
ject, but in some cases it may have
been due to the fact that they
lacked radar Equipment. 1t is be-
lieved that what radar knowledge
Japan has came from the Germans.
OF course, there is one phase Of
radar detection which in the past
has sometimes prevented use of
data concerning the detection of a
plane or ship. That is the fact that
until the object is very close it can
not be identified. It is merely
"blip" of light. Therefore, it is inn
possible to tell friend and enemy
apart. Some sort of identification
has been developed, details of which
are still, I believe, top secret"
An example of how this worked to
the disadvantage of the British was
in the engagement in which Inns
Hood was lost. On May 81, 194l,
the Hood was lying in the strait be-
tween Iceland and Greenland when
suddenly out of nowhere she was
hit by salvo from the 15-inch
guns of the powerful Bismarck. The
Bismarck had accurately located
the Hood with radar equipment,
the first reported successful use of
radar in such naval operation in
the war. 1t is said that the Hood
had likewise detected the presence
OF a ship at the spot where the Bis
marck was, but knowing that a
number of friendly warships were
in the vicinity, did not dare to take
the chance of attacking first.
Many improvements have been
made in radar which are not as yet
ready for the public eye and all
those familiar with the subject
say the study is only in it's infancy.
Scientific achievement seems limit
less and the one virtue of war is
that it spurs inventive genius to
great strides of progress.
When peace comes radar will
likewise open new vistas of which
the layman hardly dreams.
Harry Truman didn't want to be
vice president. James Byrnes didn't
ask to be made secretary of state.
Neither wanted to mix into inter-
national affairs-but they found
themselves on the same boat en-
route to Germany.
