The eight-inch thi<?& wall xfrdfc given a 314- hour fire classification--a rating of half an hour longer than any previous eight-inch wall of concrete masonry units has been able to secure. A laboratory inferno Was the testing ground for the hew hollow building block. A specially designed furnace was built which burned 10,000 tubic fe*t of gas an hour--as much as a small city. For four hours the"111 by 10 foot experimental wall of blocks was subjected to fire. In the first five minutes the wall reached a temperature ttf 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. At the end of one hour the exposed face was up to 1,700 degrees ; a£ two- hours,- J,850 degrees; and at the completion of the test a temperature of 2.000 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded. > Wall JResw anted lataet. « All this .while great hydraulic jacks were pushing down on the wall with a pressure averaging 175 pounds to the square inch. At the end of the four-hour ordeal,' the wall w^s removed from the fire blast and its incandescent face was washed with .a stream of cold water, from a fire Jhoae, under a water pressure of 45 poun^ tp the °sqtiare inch. ; Great clouds of steam obscured the wall. Snapping and crackling noises were-toeawh a»>4h« wall underwent its rapid cooling and contraction. | , . The wal} ^^eiii^Wd Intact after this whole series of destructive actions. Architects apd. engineers examining > .it lata: >. expressed amazement at tfie;sHgM effects of the severe treatment. Temperatures recorded on the unexposed surface of the wall during the tests resulted in the prized 3\khour classification. This rating can be increased to a, four-hour classification when such walls are surfaced with three-quarters of an inch of gypsum plaster. Greater fire protection at a lower cost is the objective of the research which developed the building blocks.

What a family doctor'^ life is like in this tribe, famed mainly for its head hunting, is reported by Matthew W. Stirling, chief of the bureau of American ethnology, who ventured successfully into their supposedly. dangerous communities. A Jivaro doctor, called a wishinu, has to study one thonth before he is considered ready? to practice, but there are only six kinds of disease spirits supposed to cause most human trou61es^1$e also has to learn to treat cold* lever and dysentery with specific -herbs. His rigid code of medical ethjes requires him to answer a sick call at any hour of day or. Bight through trackless jungle. If fie fails to cure he may be "sued" &>r eoflpractice, which in Jivaro legal, machinery means he may lose his head or be required to pay the. yahtt of the loot patient's life. ^ - The Beautiful l-ITOVAl! mm CRYSTAL LAKE.

If you clear away all such accumulations of "rubbish" you deprive the forest of much of it* biological working capital. r Trees are a soil-exhausting crop, Dr. Pictet points Out. They withdraw a large proportion of the soil's original store of nutrient substances and lock it up in their stems. When they fall, the swarming destructive life of the" forest floor--insects, worms, fungi, bacteria--unlock these hoards and return the accumulated capital to the soil as humus.

Within a short time we expect to begin accepting loan applications under this program," Mr. Dillon said. "Any farm tenant or farm labor family in the county will be eligible to apply." He went on to explain that it will be up to the applicant to locate the farm to be purchased. The farm must be of a family-size, that is, it must be one which the family can operate without hired help except possibly during the short peak labor periods. Nor will a loan be granted unless the farm can be purchased at a price in line with its ability to pay for itself and produce an adequate income of the family. "In other words, no loan will be approved where the price of the farm is based on speculative values," Mr. Dillon said. Loans made will provide for purchase of the farm plus repair and alteration of buildings and land improvements where necessary. As with other types of FSA loans, they are availabel only to families who cannot obtain needed credit from other government or recognized private credit agencies.
