being produced by the makers
of the atom bomb.
Laboratories Cooperate
Government atomic facilities
at Pasco, Wash, and at the
University of Chicago are CO.
operating with the Clinton
laboratories at Oak Ridge, the
major producing center.
The Army's Manhattan engineer
district declared the materials are
slated to serve humanity in two
important ways:
!. AS "tracers," or atomic signal
givers, for following the course Of
non-radiant atoms in many process
ses that offer riddles to medicine,
industry, agriculture, metallurgy
and other branches Of science. A
major use will be investigating the
causes of disease. (The invisible
radiations of the isotopes can be
detected by sensitive iastrument.)
Therapeutic Agent
Z. As possible therapeutic agents
for the treatment Of certain NAL
aides, such as leukemia and thy
roid disease. Cor such a use the
materials would be fed or injected
in such a way as to lodge in at
fected organs.
The first carbon IA units delivered
Friday to five of the nations re-
search groups cost $500 each
though they weighed only one ten
thousandth Of an ounce. Other
radioactive products to be made
available rang in unit price all the
way down to 81 cents for a mixture
of chromium and columbian metals
useful in geologic laand metal
lurglcal research.
Terrific Wallop
Though tiny in size, each carbon
IA unit packs a terrific atomic wal
lop. the Army said each is capable
of emitting 81 million atomic Beta
ray particles a second for the next
100, 900 years.
The Manhattan engineers declar-
ed that Hundreds" of applications
for radioisotopes Of various types
had been received under a pro-
gram announced in June for ma
tlonWide distribution to hospitals,
universities, industrial laboratories

ONE TOBACCO FIRM
RAISES CIGARETTE
PRICE TO DEALERS

An increase of Is cents per
thousand cigarettes was announc-
ed yesterday by one major ciga-
rette manufacturing firm, and
several others were scheduled to
make similar announcements
soon.
The increase is expected to
hike the price at least one cent
more on each package Of ciga-
rettes.
Coming as a second price hike
on cigarettes within the past six
months, the first being absorbed
by retailers, local dealers were of
the opinion that it will be. only
fair that the consumer stand the
latest hike of a minimum Of one
cent.
Authorized July 26, an increase
in the price Of bottled beer which
will affect consumers by a n to
two cent hike on the 12-ounce and
the quart bottles, was announced
by OPA. Keg or draught beer was
not effected by the hike.

golden weed marketed yesterday,
as compared with poundage placed
for sale opening day.
The markets yesterday saw a
slight increase In the quality OF
leaf offered on some markets,
while some markets reported a
considerable amount Of tobacco
damaged from prevailing damp
ness being placed for sale.
The weather. if present condi-
tons persist, will eventually cause
a slow down in sales volume
throughout almost the entire belt,
market officials predicted last
night.
Predict Bigger Sales
However, warehousemen and
planters alike, jubilant over the
first two days Of sales, predicted
that Monday will see heavier sales
on all markets, since the growers
will have time today and early
Monday to carry their tobacco to
the markets.
The showdown In sales on the
second day was attributed to sew
eral factors, the main ones being
bad weathe: and the fact that
most growers in the belt have not
yet finished gathering their crops.
Sales supervisors throughout the
belt we're unanimous in the belief
that the wise grower will leave his
dry tobacco n piles in his pack
houses until the weather permits
safe handling Of the delicate leaves.
Damage Report
There were widespread reports
Of heavy losses to the grower from
damaged tobacco which always
sells Cor less money because OF
the loss of value through mold
and rot.
The officials explained that the
lower leaves, type Of tobacco
which predominates early sales,
damage easily from toe much
moisture.
In Chadbourn, Sales Supervisor
D. M. Carter reported sales of
1924 pounds at an average of
53.0a per hundred. A top price
OF 72.00 was listed, with no tags
turned.

In Clarkton. Luther Clark, super
visor OF sales reported 100, 400

He said that grades offered were

AS we roam about this world, we
find people with many queer ideas
about religion. In one place or an
other we find certain animals are
called sacred, or holy.
Some animal superstitions have
been kept to the present time.
In India people think of animals
as having some special charm. The
majority are members of the Hindu
faith and several kinds of animals
have found favor among them
These include cattle and monkeys
For years untold humpbacked
cattle have been allowed to roam
through cities in India. In CAL
cutta a person might see a dozen
or more cattle walking along, or
even lying down on the sidewalk.
Efforts have been made by the
British to keep cattle out of city
streets, but care has been taken
to keep from hurting the feelings of
the cattle, or the Hindus.
Even crocodiles have been treated
as holy in some parts of India
These crocodiles are called CHAR
ials.'
A traveller named Orlich visited
spot near the mouth of the Indus
River more than 100 years ago.
There he found a temple with a
pond and in the pond were so
