but they must return them dressed
and they are given to children
who otherwise would not have
any.
Scrapbooks have all kinds of
possibilities. I like the ones that
are planned, meticulously done
and in a way are real works of
art. I think it would be fine
thing to give this type of scrap
book TO elderly people who are
lonely, to institutions and homes
for the elderly. So much is done
for children, few people bother to
try to do little things to brighten
the lives of those who need it
most. They like and enjoy pretty
things as much as any one, but
most of all it will bring hope and
joy into their hearts to know that
some one is thinking about them
and interested in their happiness.
I shall give a few suggestions
by way of describing one I am
making. The first subject is re-
ligion, lovely pictures from the
sacred art calendars fastened with
scotch tape at the top so that

the picture is loose at the bottom
and sides and both sides may be
seen; there is picture on either
side. I paste the Bible story,
which is on the calendar under
the picture. Next I have a few
lovely Easter cards, one page of
the adult type and several pages
of the children's type. Don't
worry, the elderly folks will love
them. Don't we all?
have other special days
throughout the year illustrated
with as many beautiful cards and
pictures as I can collect. George
Washington's Birthday. Valen-
tines Day, Mothers Day. Fathers
Day. Thanksgiving, etc., and final
ly, last of all, Christmas and New
Years. I have a page or two
of regular birthday cards. Who
doesn't like to think of his own
birthday, too? Interspersed
among these various days, I have
pages of lovely little pictures
Many look like miniature water
color paintings. I get these from
the inside of Christmas and greet
ing cards, which often have them
and unless one has an artistic
temperament and recognizes their
possibilities, they never come into
their own. I get the construction
paper at dime store and mount
them, using suitable pieces of the
cards for the white mats. You
will be delighted with them. The

FOR SHUT-INS.
(Fronl Miss /. I. B., ArlingtonJ

(Frons Miss /. I. B., ArlingtonJ
Mrs. o. H., Washington: I am
suggesting two things which might
interest the shut-in. One is dress
ing dolls. The various churches
have dolls to dress for the sum-
mer schools for little mothers who
get a doll and if they take good
care of it over a period of time
they are allowed to keep it.
I know of one church that
bought the dolls from the Saliva
ton Army for IS cents each and
any one who wishes to contribute
one must purchase the doll. dress
and return it. You might like to
render this service to friends who
would be happy to furnish the
dolls but do not have the time or
knack of dressing them. Many
people interested in this project
would be glad to pay for this work.
I understand the Salvation
Army purchases these dolls at cost
for their own project and any
one can get them for IS cents,

Modern Prospector Uses Tools of Atomic Age

investigations of this nature also
help reveal the danger of planting
certain plants in areas that con-
tain heavy deposits of certain min
erals. Root plants such as carrots
and onions, for example, are not
wisely grown in an area where
considerable lead is found in the
soil, since lead concentrates in the
roots Of plants.
The daughter of a geologist,
Mrs. Cannon married a geologist,
and has a brother-in n-law in the
same work. Fascinating as she
finds her field. she believes that
two braces Of geologists are quite
enough for one family, and hopes
her daughters. now 10 and Is
years old, will choose different
careers.
Mrs. Cannon was one of the first
woman geologistS to be hired by
the survey during the war. Prior
to her marriage, she worked for a
large oil refining company, the
area Of her profession which she
feels is probably the most satisfac-
tory for women. In this work, a
microscopic study of rock cuttings
is used to determine the age of
the rock being drilled, which in
turn Is related to the likelihood
of oil deposits there.
Field work is a handicap for
women in geology. she believes.
Among its difficulties is the fact
that miners are superstitious
about women in the mines and
sometimes refuse to admit them,
feeling that their presence there
spells disaster. Mrs. Cannon has
surmounted the disadvantages of
field work herself, however. and
has pursued her profession in
Utah, Arizona, Colorado. Wiscon-
sin and Wyoming, as well as New
York.
A graduate Of Cornell Univer-
sity, Mrs. Cannon took advanced
work at Northwestern University.
at the University Of Pittsburgh,
where her father served as pro-
fessor of geology. and at the Uni
versity of Oklahoma.

PAINTERS PROBLEM?
(FrOnt II, H.. WdShinofon }

Will some of the readers tell me
how can politely get rid Of people
who disturb me when I am paint
ing?
Well-intended people come
along when I am making a picture
and ask all sort of questions.
Some of them want the whole
history Of art and others a de-
tailed summary Of all the methods
OF painting. Every family has a
painter and I must hear about
him. too. I should say that I
have tried silence.
I was very intent on q water
color I was doing of Connecticut

for several weeks to find an hour
when I might work in peace and
it appeared that quite early on
Sunday morning was my best bet.
But no, along comes Question Box
I paid no attention, feigning deaf
ness and went on with my work.
She made a horrible fuss and said
that all artists were insolent. It
took police to convince her that ]
was not insulting her. But by
that time the picture was forever

Bewitched and bewildered would
be the prospecting '49er of the
California gold rush at the tech
niques used by a prospector of the
atomic age.
For today's hunts for precious
metals are scientific searches. and
no hit-and-miss affairs. Mrs.
Helen L. Cannon. a geologist with
the geo-chemical prospecting unit
of the Geological Survey, has
found that although daisies may
not tell. many other plants will re-
veal the presence of minerals, in
cluding vital uranium, in the soil.
Mrs. Cannon initiated her geo.
botanical prospecting with pre-
liminary Investigations for the sur
vey begun in 1916, and still is a
pioneer in her field.
Work on the relation Of plants
to mineral deposits was first begun
through studies of the effect of ac-
cumulations of copper. lead and
zinc on plants" Mrs. Cannon ex-
planned. Eventually, she reported.
all the major metals of economic
importance will be studied in this
way.
Plants have three ways Of tell
ing a prospector about mineral
deposits in a region, Mrs. Cannon
went on. One is by the very fact
Of their existence. Such plants
are called indicator plants" and
cannot grow in areas where spe-
cific metals do not exist. An
other method of ore detection con-
sists of studying plants known to
absorb certain metals for evidence
of these elements. The third
method consists Of checking the
physiologic symptoms in the plants
that exist when plants are grow
ing in highly mineralized soil. Ex-

for example. are revealed by a yel-
lowing Of the trees.
An interesting occurrence of
zinc and lead discovered by this
method of scientific sleuthing is in
New York State. The initial hint
was given when farmers planted

and the plants refused to grow.
When 1t was learned that excesses
of zinc in the soil were defeating
plant growth, Mrs. Cannon went
to New York to study the situa-
ton. and found zinc and lead indi-
Gated in the soil and rocks of the
area.

Favors Doe Season

Frank W. Miller, Towson, owner of
a deer hunting camp, Lone Wolf"
lodge, near Harrington Manor lake,
believes an open season on doe is
needed.
He writes:
After spending the deer season at
my Lone Wolf hunting lodge, |
learned from many experienced
hunters that we must have an open
season on does in Garrett county,
similar to the one in Pennsylvania
More than so does were seen. To
back up our views on the subject,
wnen the deer we killed were checked
and weighed, they were found to be
underweight for their age. This,
believe, was due to in-breeding and
lack of forage.
"The lucky hunters at the Lone
Wolf this year were Russell Jones,
l3-pt. buck; Harvey Sanders, an s.
pit; Bill Glass, opt; and myself, a
three-point."
The final day of the season in
Pennsylvania was day for the kill
ing Of does, which were reported to
be too plentiful for the good of the
herds in that state 1t was believed
that upward of $4,000 of the females
were brought down.

the result of over-p population in some
sections of the state, condition that

Gross construction expenditures for

pace with the growing telephone
needs in Maryland amounted to more
than $22,000,000 in 1949. During the
past three years, there was spent
more than $76,OO0,000 for new build
ings, central office equipment, cable
and other telephone plant, which is
greater than the entire amount in
vested at the end of 1941, after 81
years of business.
There were 1872, 800 telephones in

of 400 and bringing the total now
in service to an all-time high at Gill;
600. The 600,000th telephone was con-
