Ampufees TO Get Better
ARMS SAYS Bureau Head

WASHINGTON. - Veterans adj
ministration has announced what it
described as the first marked i'm
provements in artificial arms "since
the Civil war;"
Chairman Robert S. Allen of the
VAS prosthetic advisory committee
said that three new models, the
products of joint government and
industry research, would be made
available at once to veterans and
civilians through $50 dealers in the
country.
"They will be heart stirring to the
men and women who have lost
arms" he said. "They are light
weight arms that offer some utility
to the wearers without requiring
them to pay a tremendous cost"
Veteran amputees will receive
their choice of one of the three
types of arms free of charge from
Veterans administration, while the
cost to civilians will be far less than
for old models, Allen said.
He emphasized that the new type
arms were mot revolutionary or
miraculous developments" but did
constitute great advances in a n
facture and design.

Find Religious
Growth GAINING
Increased Interest Cited in
Church Programs in
United States.

CHICAGO. - DR.. Roy C. Ross
general secretary of the Information
al Council of Religious Education
reports that religious education il
the United States has entered a pc.
Rod of progress and growth.
Citing increased participation ir
church-sponsored programs, he pre-.
diets further increases and says:
1.-THE general climate in Amer.
lea is much more favorable to re-
ligious education than it was a dec.
ade ago.
Our more substantial citizens are
shocked by conditions which have
resulted from lack of adequate re-
Igious training - broken homes,
increased intemperance and child
delinquency.
Have Bigger Turnouts.
Therefore, there is a manifesto
ton of interest and concern on the
part of serious-minded parents and
civic leaders such as we haven't
had in a quarter-century."
DR.. Ross says there have been
bigger turnouts at sessions devoted
to instruction and character devel-
opment since the end of the war.
But, he adds, the gains are mot
nearly large enough"
During the last two years at
tendance has picked up decidedly"
he says. 81 foresee a much larger
pickup in the years Immediately
ahead"
He submits these statistics on
activities:
More than two million students
were released from public schools
for an hour a week this year so they
could receive religious instruction at
weekday schools sponsored by Prot
estant churches. The plan was in
effect in 1900 communities, a num-
Der that has been doubled in seven
years.
Youth Work Grows.
About "a million persons now are
enrolled in Sunday schools.
Some five million children and
young folks attend vacation church
schools, conducted for periods rang
ing up to four weeks during the
months.
An estimated $50, 900 to 400, 0O01
young people go to $500 summer
camps and conferences. The camps
some UNCONVENTIONAL, some inter-
UNCONVENTIONAL - combine study,
worship and recreation. In some
camps selected young men and
women are trained for leadership
in their home congregations.
DR.. Ross also reports a rapid
growth of interdenominational youth
work through such agencies of CO.
operative action as local community
youth councils, the national United
Christian youth movement and the
world youth conference at Oslo.
christian education is the only
means by which America can find
an adequate national faith" he says.
AS such it is the best antidote for
philosophers of life, including
hose of atheistic communism"

Synthetic Process
Creates Star Gems
Rubies and Sapphires Made by
Man Excel in Beauty.

NEW YORK. - Synthetic sta1
rubies and star sapphires, some.
thing new in man-made gems, have
been developed, it was announced
by the American Museum of Ma
tural History and Linde Air Prod
ucts company, makers of the gems.
The star gems r among the most
coveted because there is a pale spot
of nearly white light in the center,
surrounded by streamers shaped
like a star.
One of the star rubies is more than
100 carats. 1t is bigger than any
known natural star ruby.
These synthetic stones are in
some cases more beautiful than the
natural gems, said DR.. F. H. Pugh,
the museums gem expert who con-
Quoted the exhibit.
This does not mean, he explained,
that the s%ynthetics surpass all ma
tural stones. They do not. However,
he declared wearers will be unable
to distinguish between these and the
real thing.
jewelers., however, will have no
difficulty in distinguishing between
the real and the synthetic, said
Pugh, because on the backs of the
man-made stones they can see
marks, somewhat like rings, that
show the growth stages of the syn
thetics.
Both of the star gems are made
of a very fine, white powder, alu-
minum oxide. This powder is col
ored blue for sapphires, with either
cobalt, ditanium or iron. The pow
der is colored red for rubies with
chromium. The gem is made by de-
posting this powder in a small
stream in a very hot flame of oxygen
and hydrogen.
