Simple shapes and sombre colors

understand the subtleties and
technical difficulties of obtain
ing certain results which impress
those who know.
For example, I thought Audrey
Hayden's tile top table and flock
of chickens more impressive than
her refreshment set and pig fam
lily which received awards in two
classes, including the largest cash
prize. I liked Florence Everhart's
pleasingly decorated small bowl
better than the covered jar which
won her one of the higher awards.
Mary Brammell's turquoise and

LIE BEAUTIFUL V1S1I
BY Elizabeth Jane Howard.
(RGndon1 House; 49,
A deliberately old-fashioned
novel told in the first person and
evidently modelled on Jane Eyre"
this tells of a shy London girl who
gets her first glimpse of life and
the world at a jolly country-house
Christmas party. Drawn out of
herself by the hustle of events
and the charm of her relatives,
she attracts the attentions of two
young men. They both go off to
war, while she makes several fu-
tile attempts to leave her shabby,
genteel home. One young man is
killed in battle, the other comes
back and proposes to her at the
country house revisited.
1t IS all set down in a matter
of-fact, monotonous style, which
accurately reflects the Sleep
walking quality of the heroine.

be much better than it can be
under present conditions. Meas
ures must be taken that will make
the National Guard a great force
for peace in the world. 1t then
would be important in the great
world picture"
Gen. Marshall said that it was
his desire to bring the Guard up
to the point where it is mucn
more available for service. This
is very important, he added, and
the Guard is bound to be the
principal mass of defense in
ground fighting.
How this is to be DONE" he
continued, "and how long a pro-
cedure it will be are matters to
be debated. But I don't think
we can go along on the present
basis"
Gen. Marshall's statement con-
corning the strengthening of the
Guard hit right into smoldering
controversy which the conference
is considering. This concerns the
cannibalizing of Guard units after
they get into the service, and
calling them up piecemeal in
some instances.

Pectin, Element in Table Jelly,
Makes Leaves Fall in Autumn

cooks and industry use to make
table jellies.
In leaves and fruits pectin is
the cement that binds tissue cells
together. All summer this jelly Is
quite hard. When you bite into a
green apple, the hardness is solid
pectin. When the apple is ripe,
the jelly merely has softened.
All summer the jelly holds the
stem fast, to its anchorage. But
in the fall the jelly at this point
turns to thin sirup.
Prof. Lacey's microscope re-
vealed surprising fact. The thin
sirup forms only at the junction.
1t forms here because the tissue
cells at that point remain more
youthful than the rest of the leaf.
They are full of juice and less
shriveled than the -est of the leaf
cells. So the leaf really falls be-
cause this part of it failed to grow
old. In the autumn the youthful
cells start making sirup.

Unified Action in 80 Health Officers Told
Could Have Prevented OF Special Protection
War, Jebb Tells Forum In Radioisotopes Use

Radioactive materials used in
Public Health Service research are
put into caskets and dumped at
sea by a Coast Guard cutter, the
Nations health officers were told
today.
DR.. Clinton Powell, chairman
of the Radiation Safety Commit
tee of the National Institutes Of
Health, described the disposal of
radioactive waste materials in
emphasizing the need for special
projections in the handling of
radioisotopes.
Because overdoses of radiation
can produce burns, anemia, steril-
ity, cancer and bone injury, DR..
Powell said, the usual hospital
techniques of protection against
X-ray must be changed in deal
ing with radioisotopes.
Protection Problem Grows.
More and more hospitals, he
reported. are beginning to use
radioisotopes either in treatment
or research. AS a result, he said,
the problems of protecting pa
tients, doctors, nurses, scientists
and maintenance workers will be-
come more widespread.
In the isotope laboratory Of
the National Institutes of Health,
DR.. Powell explained. a regular
corps of monitors is constantly
checking laboratory workers to
be sure their bodies and clothing
are not contaminated.
He advocated that general hos
pitals build a radiation wing,
where radiation patients will be
isolated and their dishes. clothing,
sheets and instruments will be
kept separate from other hospital
equipment.
The discussion of radiation pro-
lection was one of series Of
seminars underway at the National
Institutes of Health for about
125 State and territorial health
officers here for a week-long con-
ference.
Identification Symbols Urged.
The need for a system of spe-
cial symbols for quick identifica-
tion of various types of casualties
in an atomic attack was stressed
by panel of United States Public
Health Service experts.
Besides tagging the patient for
Identification, the panel agreed,
symbols may be drawn on the
patients forehead with a red skin
pencil.
Members of the panel included
DR.. John Cronin, chief of the divi-
sion of medical and hospital
facilities: DR.. John McGibony,
chief of the division of medical
resources. and DIR. Jack Masur,
director of the clinical center, Ma
tional Institutes of Health, all of
the Public Health Service.
They said hospitals must begin
now to make detailed plans for
handling mass casualties. Such
planning. they said. must. be based
on keeping the normalnpattern of
hospital organization intact, while
providing for its expansion.
The panel emphasized the need
for training volunteer workers
and organizing special disaster
teams.

sibly compete with other fuels.
Private Production Possible.
A possible entry of private in
dustry into the plutonium produc-
ton and power field is seen in con-
ferences which have been held be-
tween members of the commission
and Charles A. Thomas, president
of the Monsanto Chemical Co. OF
St. Louis.
1t has been proposed that the
company lease one of the COM
missions plants and sell the plu-
tonium produced to the Govern
ment to meet costs, at the same
time selling power locally. Such
an arrangement would require
congressional approval.
The object would be to de-
termine if the vital fuel for atomic
weapons can be produced more
cheaply by private enterprise.
Much would depend on how high
a Government subsidy was given
in the price paid for plutonium.
Answers Mccarthy.
Chairman Dean, in reply to
recent criticism of the commission
by Senator Mccarthy, stressed
that in its whole history there
has been no case where any en-
ploye, any employe of a contract
ing agency, or any cosultant ever
has been accused to disloyalty.

Boiled down, the contestants in
this Senate race have adopted the
old You're another" technique of
attack and reply,
Both sides express great con-
f1dence and both are apprehensive.
One great shadow hangs over
them. The silence of the great
mass of voters. They are not say
ing, these voters. just what they
are going to do. Both the candi-
dates have had good turnouts, by
and large, for a non-presidential
election campaign.
In fact, Senator Lucas has just
returned to Chicago from a down.
state tour, which took him into
Mr. Dirksen's home town, Pekin,
where a crowd estimated at 5000
came out to hear him speak. Be-
cause of a cold and strained vocal
muscles. the Senator is taking an
reinforced rest for couple of days
before continuing his campaign
ing.
The Lucas campaign managers
downstate are claiming the Sena-
tor will come up to Cook County
not more than $4,000 to $4,000
votes behind Mr.. Dirksen. His
managers in Cook County say that
Senator Lucas will have tre-
mendous support in Chicago, max
ing it possible for him to win the
election by about 100000 votes.
Won in 1914 by 217,0O0.
In 1914, the last time Senator
Lucas was reelected. he lost
downstate by 145.O00 votes and
carried Cook County by 1000
votes, which gave him lead of
2l7,000, these managers point out.
In that year, Senator Lucas was
running along with the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The Republicans like to recall
:. that President Truman two years
!. ago had a margin of only 10000
20 votes over Gov. Dewey in the
presidential election. They add
that in that election, the Repub-
lican vote did not turn out in
numbers that it was capable of
doing. This year, they say, they
are going to get out the vote and
swamp Senator Lucas.
The Republicans have been TAX
ing polls recently of voter senti-
ment, which they say produce
results that are so good they are
afraid to publish them--or even
to believe in them. They think
. back to the polls of 1948, which
indicated Republican victories
here which never materiallzed.

GRAND FORKS, N. Oak, Oct.
25.-Why autumn leaves fall is
a new scientific study at the
University of North Dakota.
Vera Lacey, assistant professor
of biology. has discovered some
new reasons. This seemingly ar
tistic study has a practical side,
because it explains why fruits
fall before ripening, a serious loss
to the fruit-growing industry.
Every one knows that falling
leaves always separate just at
the base of their stems. But
nothing is visible to explain the
perfect separation. There are no
broken f1bers. ~.
Prof. Facey used the advances
in biological chemistry to find
that the explanation is a peculiar

is pectin, the kind that wives
