Five Million Tons of Soda

Soda exists in nature, in the wa
ters of Owens lake and Searles lake
in California, but is so readily de-
rived from salt that the latter is the
source of 80 per cent Of current
American output. Common salt is
common indeed, it is available in
inexhaustible supply not only in the
oceans but also in great pure sub
terranean deposits and domes. Men
mine these out, creating vast and
spectacular white underground
chambers, or they pipe fresh water
down into the deposits and pump
back brine. A simple 75-year-old
ammonia process carbonates the
brine, removes the chloride and
leaves sodium carbonate, the 'soda
ASH of commerce, and another
step, using lime, provides sodium
hydroxide, which housewives call
lye and which industry calls ''caus-
tic soda,

Mans Four-Footed Friend
Lived in The Stone Ace

The domestic dog of today can
trace its ancestors to prehistoric
, days. Ancient caves and middenS
that the dwellers of the Stone Age
left, reveal histories of the savage
wolf, the origin of our present day
four-footed friend.
The great mastiff, known to writ
ers as Molossus, was common in
Babylon of antiquity. In the Middle
Ages this dog was used for bear
and bull-baiting. Graceful dogs not
unlike the present greyhound are
depicted in ancient Egyptian rec
ords, and the Greeks and Romans
had large variety of breeds. Early
explorers in America and Australia
found that the natives had domesti-
Gated and highly priced the dog.
The history of dogs always has
been closely linked with that Of
man. In recent centuries multi
tude of breeds have been developed,
in all sizes and colors.
Egyptian monuments about 5000
B. c. shows reproductions of sew.
eral varieties of domestic dogs--a
wolf-dog, a hound, greyhound and
type of terrier. The first mention
of the dog in the Bible was in con-
nection with the sojourn of the Isra-
elites in Egypt, and the earliest
mention Of the dog as the compan.
ion of man is in the Book of Tobit.
Among the Romans evidence has
been left of the use of dogs for
many purposes, and of standard
or classification having been in ex-
istence at that time.

Big Lake Once Covered
Bonneville Salt Flats

Utah's Bonneville salt flats, re-
Stunning their prewar role as an
automobile speedway, resulted from
the recession of waters of a lake
once comparable in size to Lake
Michigan. Lake Bonneville, as ge-
ologists know it, was formed thou
sands Of years ago in the continents
ice age, says National Geographic
society. The lake covered western
Utah, eastern Nevada and southern
Idaho for perhaps $4,000 years. The
Great Salt lake, Utah Lake and
Sewer lake are its remnants.
Varying levels of the ancient lake
are plainly marked on the noun
tains surrounding the basin. High
est of more than so recognized ter
races beaches formed by the
pounding of the ancient waves-is
full thousand feet above the pres
ent level of Great Salt lake. 1t is
called Bonneville terrace. Provo
terrace, at SIS feet, and Stansbury
terrace, at $50 feet above Great
Salt lake, are prominent.
During cold, wet centuries the
basin filed. In hot, dry ones the
water evaporated, concentrating its
salt. In the vast Great Salt Lake
desert, the now-famed Bonneville
salt fats known for automobile
speed tests are one small area
roughly rs miles long and five miles
wide, centered 100 miles west Of
Salt Lake City.

Columbus Found Corn
In interior OF Cuba

On November 5, 1902, Christopher
Columbus sent two of his men into
the interior of Cuba to explore and,
upon returning, they reported "a
sort of grain they call maize which
was well tasted, bak'd, dry'd and
made into -four" This was the dis
covery of corn.
Since then corn has become a
true symbol of Americas greatness.
The value of its annual harvest e2-
ceeds that of any other agricultural
crop. Each year the corn fields of
America produce more wealth than
its metal mines, its coal fields or it's
oil wells. One corn crop exceeds in
dollar value the combined net worth
of three of the largest manufactur-
ing corporations of the United
States.
More farmers raise corn than any
other crop; more land is planted
with its seed, Close to one-tweEth of
all of the United States farm land is
utilized for its culture: one out of
every four acres of crops produces
corn, according to the Corn Indus
tries Research foundation. Wheat,
hay and cotton stumble along far
behind.
Corn is raised in every state, al
though it is now produced more ex-
tensively in an area of unusually
fertile land stretching from western
Ohio to eastern Nebraska, and from
southern Minnesota and southeast
ern South Dakota to the northern
counties of Missouri.

Cost of Farm Horses

1t cost an average of $235 year
to keep a team of horses on farms
surveyed by University of Wiscon-
sin. This includes $68 for hay and
other barnfed roughage, $40 for pas
ture and $42 for grain, or total of
S140 for feed. Other costs were for
chore labor, shelter, interest, depre-
citation and miscellaneous cash
costs. The cost of keeping horses
varied considerably from farm to
farm, particularly the feed cost,
without any direct relationship to
the amount of work the animals
were doing. Considering the cost of
keeping these horses and the time
they were used, on the average each
hours use Of team cost Az cents.
The power could have been supplied
by tractors at an estimated cost Of
not more than 40 cents an hour.

Pacific Coast Plywond

The first cross-laminated panels
using Douglas fir veneer were made
in a veneer plant in Portland, Ore,
in 1905 and exhibited that year at
the Lewis and Clark Centennial ex-
position in that city. These panels
were made in manually operated
presses using animal glue spread
with a hand brush. In 1889 many
of the major buildings at both the
New York and San Francisco ex-
positions were constructed of Doug
las fir plywood. Mechanical produe-
tion began In 1910 and for the next
few years the three existing plants
made panels for doors as their
principal product. The word ply
wood was first introduced into in.
dustrial terminology during the
World War / period.

Find Powerful
New Germicide
Girls Broken Leg Leads to
Discovery Of Weapon
Against Infection.

CHICAGO.-Discovery of a new
germ-killer, named in honor of the
seven-year-old girl whose broken
leg led to its discovery, was an
nounced in the Journal of the Amer
lean Medical association. So power
full is the new weapon against infec-
ton that out of 100 patients on
whom it vas tried, 81 were saved
from surgery.
The new agent is called bacitra-
Gin. 1t was developed in New York
from a germ found in the infected
wound of Margaret Tracy, 7, who
had suffered a compound leg frac-
ture. The discoveries are DR.. Frank
L. Meleney and Miss Balbina John
son of Columbia university college
of medicine and New York's Pres
byterian hospital. Their announce
ment comes after four years of re-
search.
Treat Boils, Sites.
Infected fingers, boils, carbuncles,
sites and ulcers are among the in
fections aided by bacitracin. It's use
either obviated surgery or speeded
recovery after surgery. The article
says that results were $50 speedy
they surprised both the patient and
physician"
Among instances cited are those
of a patient with ga large indurated
(hardened) and infiamed abscess of
the face, and another with a deep
9bCPncc of tho chpcf uyo11 -
After a single injection, the article
declares, both patients felt so much
better they didn't consider it neces-
sary to return the following day for
treatment. And on the third day,
when they returned, the wounds
were "quiescent."
Treatment of several patients
with %sties," the report says, Gre
quired nothing more than bacitracin
dropped in the eye"
Used as an Ointment.
Bacitracin, now made up in oint-
ment form that melts at body tenn
perature, is effective against many
of the same organisms as penicillin.
But 80 organisms were found which
were resistant to penicillin and re-
sponded to bacitracin, while six
were resistant to bacitracin and
susceptible to penicillin. Some or
ganisms were resistant to both.
Another article in the same issue
reports that six physicians of
George Washington university
school of medicine used penicillin in
the treatment of Sc scarlet fever
cases and found it highly effective.
"Penicillin," the article says,
brought a prompt fall in temporal
ture, decreased toxicity and practi-
cally eliminated the danger of pa
tients carrying the disease and in
fecting Others"
Excellent results also were OBJ
tanned in the same field by Drs.
Archibald L. Hoyne and Rowine
Hayes Brown of the Municipal Con-
tagious Diseases hosnital. Chicago

Faster and Funnier Fund Drive
Urged by New Chest Director
E. J. Keyes Hos Put
II Of IS Campaigns
Over Elsewhere

Edward j. Keyes, the new Com
munity Chest Federation executive
director. wants the Washington area
fund-raising campaigns to be faster
and funnier.
Mr.. Keyes, who has put II out of is
Chest campaigns over the top else
where, is confident the same can
be done here. But he would like
to use a few of the tricks that
helped the Chest organizations Of
other cities to meet their goals.
First Of all. the director who took
office yesterday, said members OF
the volunteer army who solicit con-
tributions from their neighbors
should enjoy themselves.
IF the solicitors have q good
time" he grinned, "the campaign
will 60. I remember in Oklahoma
City, the ones who brought in the
fewest reports at the meetings had
to push peanuts across the table
with their noses. OF course, Rich
mond was more conservative. The
most I could do there was give q
door prize OF a turkey"
"Good Time" for Everybody.
He said he would recommend to
the Campaign Committee the for
nation of a meetings committee to
stage the report meetings so every
body would have a good time.
He also plans to recommend cut
ting the campaign period from a
month to two weeks, on the theory
that campaign workers will respond
