In a Business Day address at

Now-within a few days and

Rolled out and poised for its

First tri-motor on the Ameri-

Method Sought
For Examining

FULLERTON, Calf. (UPD-
The glands that swell up when

The aerospace scientist has
disclosed that Beckman has I'M
der development a miniaturized
device designed to collect
parotid Secretions and deposit
the pure, biological fluid in tiny
walls for analysis during actual
space flights. The device is
about the size and shape Of a
dime and it caps over a duct
inside the cheek leading to the
parOtid glands.
"A person wearing the device
can generate ample supplies Of
parotid fluid by chewing, or
placing a drop of saliva-induc-
ing acid on the tongue" he ex-
planned.
He said the space traveller
could use a set Of miniaturized
clinical instruments to anaIyze
the parotid fluid and prepare
data received for telemetering
to earth for evaluatiOn by a
medical team.
Ultimately, Weber said, he
believes the technique also
could be used for routine clint

for a hummingbird? Perhaps
| it would make this summary
arrangement even more sea-
sonal and even add a final
touch, yet I am completely
satisfied because it gave con-
seriousness Of beauty which was
similar to mine. It touched
someone else and established
communication. The saddest
reaction which I can imagine
is no reaction at all.
Since the trumpet creeper is
of woody and twining growth
which is provided with aerial
roots similar to ivy, 1t has the
ability to climb and to cling
to any surface 1t touches. The
attractive, funnel shaped flow
ers display their broad, orange
red, petals in late summer
They are arranged in terminal
clusters where they surmount
freely the nicely patterned. pin
nate leaves.
I love this plant and at the
same time I hate it. Maybe II
is better to say that I dislike
it immensely in a place in my
garden where 1t Is absolutely
an unwelcome mess. I have
fought 1t and dug it up, only
to find that the process has
to be repeated again and again.
Every tiny speck Of root serves
as a means Of propagation.
Since it is a hardy native and
it has imbedded its roots in
the old stone wall of the cell
lar, I expect to go down in
defeat. How can I tear the
house apart?
Yet I do love this creeper
when 1t climbs a telephone
pole in the fencerow. I antici-
pate that its eventual mature
height Of thirty feet will do
away with the ugly pole in my
landscape. There, in the bright
sunshine, I allow It to bloom
with abandon.
The arrangement is built en-
tirely on linear design with
out the use Of any massive
areas. Even the flat surface of
the mat is broken up into a
light and dark curve and the
dark container shows a bright
line at the rim.
The nailholder Is fastened
to the bottom Of this container
with modelling clay so that the
curved and bending vine will
not unseat 1t. Ample airspace
separates the individual flower
clusters. Five Of them give
height. width and center at
traction. They present an in
formal, naturally airy look ac-
centuated by an interesting
root which seems to hold the
entire group together.

Shade Trees
Suffer From
Leaf Scorch

A common disease Of many
Of our shade trees, which may
result in premature defoliation,
Is leaf scorch. This disease
usually appears during periods
Of high temperatures, brilliant
sunshine, and drying winds. A
drought such as we are having
may also be the cause Of leaf
scorch. Leaf scorch is due to
the failure Of the tree roots to
furnish sufficient water during
this period Of rapid transpira-
ton. The lack Of water may be
due to root injury from paving
or construction work, poor soil
conditions, or drought condi-
tons. There are also indica-
tions that trees deficient in
potash may transpire more
rapidly than normal and suffer
from leaf scorch even though
the root system Is in q normal
condition. Leaf scorch first APP
pears as a browning Of the
leaf margins with a rolling up
or cupping of the leaf. In severe
cases, the whole leaf area may
become brown and appear
scorched. This condition may
turn the whole tree brown, or
1t may appear on single
branches, usually more pro-
nounced on the side Of the
trees which is exposed to pre-
vailing winds or to the sun.
The most important factor in
controlling leaf scorch is to
keep trees in a vigorous con-
diton so that root development
is adequate to supply sufficient
water to the top. If drought
conditions prevail, then soil
soaking will reduce the severity
Of the disease. A fertilizer that
will give an adequate supply
of potash to the tree should be
used to guard against q de-
ficiency Of potash. Where root
injuries are the cause Of leaf
scorching, judicious pruning of
the tree top will help in estab-
fishing a balance between the
root system and the top and
will thereby reduce scorch
injury.

Pre-Emergence Battle
Another study Is designed to
determine what, If any, effect
the continued annual applica-
tons Of pre-emergence mate
rails for the control Of crab
grass might have on the per-
manent grasses. A calcium
arsenical product was men
toned as being most toxic to
new seedlings Of permanent
grasses. Chlordane was least
harmful but, Of course, is not
included in the recommended
pre-emergence crab grass killers
for this area. Zytron was next
best, and Dacthal was fourth
These two are still considered
the most effective Of the crab
grass killers and in this study
showed very little harmful ef-
fects after three years upon
new seedlings Of permanent
grasses.
The above and many other
points were demonstrated al

Meeting at the Plant Industry
Station. Such work Is Of major
Importance to the homeowners

African Violet
Pointers Given

The most common insect o.
African violet is the cyclemer
mite. Injured plants are
dwarfed. Leaves are reduced ir
size, cupped upward and have
a conspicuous white pubescence
on the upper surface, especially
Of the very young leaves. Flow
ers don't open properly and
flower formation soon stops. Il
you encounter a very serious
infestation, 1t isn't practical to
try and save stricken plants
To avoid such trouble, sodium
selenate may be used in the
soil. This is available In small
capsule form for house plant
use. This material must Away;
be used carefully and accord
ing to the manufacturers d.
rections since 1t is a deadly
poison.
Mealybugs, aphids and thrips
are occasionally troublesome
on African violets.
Infested plants may be taken
out Of doors, inverted, holding
the soil with the fingers, and
dipped into a pot Of malathion
diluted with water. Usually /
teaspoonful per gallon-follow
directions on the labelO Rotate
gently so all parts of the plant
are wet, then drain. Malathion
is effective also against cycla-
men mite and spider mite.
Nematodes cause the leaves
Of violets to appear dull and
the flower stalks become
aborted. An examination of the
roots reveals small knots. Con-
troll by destroying infested
plants and disposing Of the soil.
Use only sterilized soil for
potting.
African violets may be in
jured by crown rot, a disease
that causes the plant to be
injured at the soil level and
to wilt. Careful watering and
good drainage help to prevent
this damage. Don't plant too
deeply. A plant which has
rotted off may sometimes be
saved by cutting off the dis
eased portion and a few Of the
older leaves and then rerootine
1t In sand or water. When new
roots have developed. the plant
is again potted UP into steri-
lized soil.
Ring spot is characterized BY
yellowish or white rings or ir,
regular spots found on the up,
per surface OF the leaf. Ont
cause of this is too much stronf
light. Another cause is applying
water which is either decidedly
warmer or cooler than thu
plant. Water 10 or more de.
grees cooler than the leaf vii
cause ring spot.
Petioles Of the leaves some,
times become soft or discoloreC
when they come In contact with
the rim Of the pot. This in
jury is due to an accumulation
of soluble salts which are re,
deposited on the rim OF tn
pot by evaporation Of waite,
from the soil. Leaves may b,
protected by covering the rim
with waxed paper or aluminium
foil or by reporting into a clear
pot. Nonporous types OF pot
generally do not absorb sucl
salts and injury Of this kint
is not as likely.

DoWnspout

From c. j. A., 1920 Bradley
boulevard, Bethesda. The grass
at the base of the copper down.
spouts seems to be in very poor
condition and the ground is
washing. Answer: It is possible
that the copper in the water
may injure the plants, but it
is more likely that the water
logged condition Of the soil
prevents normal growth and
root development. Thus the
grass Is unable to hold the soil.
1t is doubtful that q drywell Of
sufficient size to do any good
would be feasible. A tile drain
conpecting the downspouts and
carrying the water to some
suitable outlet Is more likely
to be feasible.
