Simone's father, a fur hunter

the last two items are the
m ain offenders against
broadleaf evergreens. If you
insist on growing broadleaf
evergreens, and there are con-
siderable amounts of limey
materials in this backfill, it
is best to remove the top
three feet and dispose of it.
Replace it with good,
friable topsoil. Few people are
willing to go to all this
trouble, and under the Cir
cumstances, it is probably
wiser simply to plant other
ornamentals that like lime.
If you are having a house
built, insist that the backfill
around it is good, clean dirt.
Questions and Answers
Question: Last year I
found many slugs in my
garden. This year there are
only a few. Why?
Answer: For some reason
the slug population rises and
falls, depending. I suppose,
upon the weather. They are
usually more numerous dur
ing wet seasons.
Question: Will peonies
bloom if planted in the
shade?
Answer: They will If the
shade is not too heavy and
they receive at least a half
day of sunshine.

If you have given broad
leaf evergreens the proper
location with relation to sun
and wind. and you know
that they have good drainage
and ample moisture, yet they
still don't thrive, then look
to the soil.
Broadleaf evergreens don't
do we'll in an alkaline soil
one containing too much
lime. In a naturally limey
soil, it is an uphill struggle
to maintain the proper acidity
by additives such as sulphur
and aluminium Sulphate.
II the soil in your area
is limey, your best bet is to
give up the idea of broad
leaf evergreens and substitute
other ornamentals that will
thrive in such soil. If, on the
other hand. you know that
your area is not limey and
your neighbours evergreens are
thriving. your problem is most
likely a localized one.
During construction, a con-
tractor generally deposits
much debris in the soil i'm
mediately adjacent to the
house. This debris consists of
small scraps of wood, cans,
pieces of roofing paper. waste
mortar and plaster.

Blood Yields
Inhibition
OF Cancer
By a Star staff Writer

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct.
ia former Bethesda surgeon
said today he has isolated a
part Of human blood that in
some persons may prevent or
slow the development Of can
Ger.
DR.. Edward E. Mclaughlin
said the blood fraction is found
at a high level in healthy per-
sons and in persons sick of
various diseases-except can
Ger. The blood Of cancer pa
tients and that Of even sue
cessfully treated former cancer
patients shows little of the ma
terial.
When isolated and dried, the
blood part is fluffy, tasteless,
odorless and white. 1t appears
to be a kind of protein. DR..
Mclaughlin told the American
College Of Surgeons here today
that he called the fraction MF-
10.
DR.. Mclaughlin said he has
injected human MILO into
rats. 1t appeared to prevent ar
officially i'm planted tumors
from taking in some of the
animals and made other tu-
mors develop more slowly than
those in untreated rats.
The researcher, who is 81,
did much of the work on MF-
10 at the National Cancer In
Stitute in Bethesda during two
years ending last July. He is
now continuing the work at the
jefferson Medical College Hos
pital in Philadelphia.

dicted it would find use in the
space program. Astronauts'
temperatures are now metered
rectally.
A reporter who placed the
small wire like thermometer in
his ear canal found he was
able to move about and func-
ton normally without discom-
fort or hearing impairment.
The thermometer actually is
like a thermostat, with a loop
ing business end composed OF
a joint of two dissimilar metals.
This loop presses against the
eardrum and takes the tenn
perature" of the eardrum by
setting up a galvanic current
which is translated into tenn
perature readings by an appro-
pirate instrument.
DR.. Benzinger explained that
the blood vessel which serves
the hypothalamus gland also
serves the eardrum. This, he
said, gives a prompt indication
of the actual effective tempera-
ture of the body. Rectal tenn
peratures lag considerably be-
hind those of the thalamus, he
added.
For use in space flight, the
device probably will be attrac-

Thermometer
Works in Ear

A thermometer that records
body temperature through the
ear has been invented by q
Naval Medical Center physi-
clan.
DR.. Theodor H. Benzinger OF
Tilden lane, Rockville, demon
strated the tiny device yester-
day at the newly opened offices
of Aero-Med Electronics, 2046
West Virginia avenue NE.
The thermometer, DR.. Ben
Finger explained, gives truer
and quicker results on body
temperature than either oral or
rectal thermometers because of
its proximity to the body's
"thermostat." This is the hypo-
thalamus gland. a small organ
deep inside the brain which
turns on and off the sweat
gland system that keeps the
body comfortable in widely
varying circumstances.

point Of convenience and COM
fort, DR.. Benzinger stated. It
probably will prove Of even
greater value in monitoring the
condition of medical patients.

dent of Aero-Med Electronics,
said DR.. Benzinger's device will
be manufactured commercially
by the concern under an ex-
elusive license. This royalty ar
rangement will not apply to
equipment manufactured for
Government use, since the
was invented on
