Hormone Restores 

San Francisco, July i. UP)- Fertility has been restored to cer- tain heretofore barren women through the injection of newly discovered hormone taken from pregnant women, medical author ities reported today.
 The treatment was described by Dr. Joseph w. Morton of the de- partment of medicine, New York Medical College, and Dr. T. H. Me- Gavaek. Metropolitan Hospital, New York.
 The hormone, extracted from the urine of expectant mothers, not only implanted fertility in certain cases but also eliminated chronic cystic mastitis-or Jumps in the breast.
 The hormone is known as chori onic gonadatropin. or "A.P.L." for short. It may be derived from the Placenta as well as the urine of pregnant women, Morton said.
 It apparently reacted most suc- cessfully on women suffering from an unbalanced supply of estrogen and progesterone, the male and fe- male hormones When the balance of the hormones is upset, symptoms occasionally include barrenneSs and breast Jumps.
 The hormone report was one of severaly presented to the annual meeting of the American ASsocia- ton for the Study of Internal Secretions, d prelude to the gen eral convention of the American Medical Association starting here today.

|DecentruIize Cities, Bomb
 Survey Urges

Washington, July 1-(UP)-The D. s. strategic bombing survey to- day recommended sweeping decen- tralization of hospitals, industry and government activities to mini mize the destruction in event of a surprise atomic bomb attack.
 In a report to President Truman on the atomic devastation at Hiro- shima and Nagasaki, the survey warned that New York, Washing ton, Chicago and other great Am erican cities were as vulnerable to the new weapon as the two Japan csc cities.
 The report said that the effect of bomb explosions on human pro- creation is as yet undetermined"
 But pregnant women within a mile" of the explosions in Japan, the report said, showed an in- creased number of miscarriages, and there was in most cases low sperm count among men in the same area"
 It added that stories of harmful effects on people who came into the area after the explosion have been disproved by the investigation"
 'The overwhelming bulk of build- ings in American cities could not stand up against an atomic bomb bursting a mile or mile and a half from them" the report said.

 Belleville, Ill, July 1-The first flying" missionaries of today's air age soon will be heading for their new parish-the vast jungles and mountainous of New Britain.
 Land obstacles that impeded the work of their predecessors will be no problem. They will fly wher- ever their work requires them to go.
 The Rev. A. M. Stemper 33 Gale donia, Minn.. and the Rev. An thony Genduss, 3l. Chicago, were the first Catholic priests to answer the plea of Bishop G. j. vesters, formerly Vicar Apostolic of Rabaul, who asked for flying priests to cov- CT the 28o,000 square miles of wild war-d devastated New Britain.
 Wings of Mercy 8 year an half old Belleville organization esta bliShed to provide free train ing in both flying and aircraft me chanics for priests and brothers of all religious orders and for volun- teer laymen, gave Stemper and GenduSa their required flight train ing.
 The nuns at St. Michaeps Con- vent, Reading, Pa, gathered the necessary s5,985 to buy a plane for the two priests. The plane, a twin engined Commonwealth Trimmer Amphibian, will enable the priests to use either the army-built air fields of New Britain or the n- land lakes and streams far from established airports.
 The cabin of the plane is large enough for two cots plus medical supplies. and will be used to evac- uate sick of inland areas to the hospitals along the coast of New Britain. The priests also expect to carry in materials to rebuild mes- sion outposts which were destroyed during the fighting on the Island. ASSignment of Steamer and Gen =

Order Plant Food Now

Plant food Is one of the most i'm
portant purchases the gardener
makes, because plant food is one OF
the limiting factors in the garden
|ers operations. Assuming the ele-
ments over which the gardener has
no control-sunshine, moisture and
temperature-are favorable, then
the plant food he puts into the soil
Is the governing factor in the yield
and quality Of the vegetables and
fruits he will grow.
Plant food will not be too plenti-
full this spring. 1t Is advisable to
enter your order early with your
gardening supply dealer, and take
delivery as early as possible.
Then when the weather is oppor-
tune there will be no delay in get
ting your garden work started, par
ticularly early tasks, such as feeding
the lawn (this may be done while
the frost is still in the ground and
before the grass has started growth
above the ground, in late February
or early March; feeding trees and
shrubs; feeding perennial vege-
tables, such as asparagus and rhu-
barb; and feeding spring Towering
bulbs and hardy perennials.

has white hanging blossoms, tinted
pink.
B. heracleifolia Is rose-colored
star type which came to us from
Mexico. It blooms from January to
March.
One of especially interesting
foliage is B. verschaffeltiana. 1t has
red-tinted hairy leaves and lovely
light pink blossoms. 1t is a common
variety, well-known in spite of its
long and difficult name. You may
know it best as a common rtlizome
type.
All of the afore-named are easy to
grow, but if you are growing them
for hobby you will wish some more
difficult to grow, perhaps, and
different. B. glaucophylla scandens
requires more humidity and can
stand less heat. Another interesting
one is the Christmas, or Melior
5egonia. These two require an extra
amount of water.
All large-leaved begonias may be
grown from leaf cuttings by laying
leaf on sand after cutting through
the main vein for an inch and
weighting it down with a few peb-
5les. Roots will form and new
leaves will appear. Soon the new
plant may be potted up in a very
small pot. Pinch it back frequently
until a fine, stocky plant is assured.

Looking Back

Nationwide figures on seed sales
and nursery stock reveal that from
1941 to 1943 vegetable seed sales in
creased sharply. In 1914 and 1945
the volume of vegetable seed sales
was still high, but had declined
slightly from the peak reached in
1943.
On the other hand, the total
volume of all garden goods sales
continued to increase in 1914 and
l945, reaching peak in 1945 OF
over three times the volume at
tanned in 1889.
The greater rise in 1914 and 1945
was attributed wholly to increased
demand for flower seeds, Towering
bulbs, roses, plants and nursery
stock.
I think this is a healthy indica-
ton that the portion of the Ameri-
can public who "cut their teeth, II
SO to speak, on growing of vege-
tables in Victory gardens, liked
gardening so well, that they
branched out into the ornamental
phase. This is going to mean a
more beautiful postwar America
Let's encourage every gardener, new
and old, to continue gardening and
thus promote better mental and
physical health, create more beau
tiful surroundings, and increase the
material wealth of our Nation.

Indoor
Tips

If you received an azalea for
Christmas put it away from full
sunlight until the flowers have
faded and then give it bright
place. A temperature of not more
than so degrees Fahrenheit and
water twice a day will take care
of it.
If you have bulbs outside now
which you have planned to place
in your window garden bring them
in and put them in cold, light
window.
Broad-leaved foliage plants should
have all leaves cleaned now with a
soft cloth, dipped in mild soapsuds
They do gather SO much dust which
you may have been too busy of late
to remove.

That alone makes them a satisfac-'
tory house plant. They like fresh
air and plenty of moisture in the
air just as so many plants do.
Do not plant the begonia too
deeply, and be careful in potting
them to leave no depression around
the crown where water may stand
The soil should be light and porous.
Use plenty of leaf mold in the soil.
The begonia roots are very fine,
so they need loose soil to allow
for easy spreading, and, Of course,
do allow for good drainage.
One of the most easily grown
begonias is known as the white,
pink or red pearl. They have large
flowers, are resistant to pests and
disease, like sun but don't demand
it, and flower freely from October
to June. These pearls should not
be overwatered nor allowed to stand
in water. Let them get fairly dry
before giving them another water
ing.
These begoniaS may be obtained
in double form, too. They bloom
readily, but you must guard against
thrips if they are grown In room
that is kept too warm.
There are many very large varie-
ties. One, begonia corallina lucerna,
grows to be "a to 80 inches high.
1t bears very large flowers, dark
pink to red. The leaves are dark
green and broad at the base. 1t
prefers a southern exposure.
Two varieties which bear their
blossoms high above the mound of
thick, round, shiny leaves are Be-
gonia festii and B. bunchii, a ruffled
and crested form of feastii. Both
of these leaves have light pink
flowers.
B. haageana is one of the sturd-
lest which blooms in the winter. It
