Barley roots were unharmed when exposed to the radiation of mst made phitonium for only 24 hours. Dr. Louis Jacobeon, plant bio-chemist, and Dr. Roy Overstreet, soils chemist, discovered. Longer exposure probably would produce serious damage, Overstreet jpid. Thlre were marked signs of Injury to dwarf pea plants grown for three months in a sandy aoil containing very small amounts of live fission byproducts. The roots fell apart when lifted from the soil, and the flow of water and plant food from toots to leaves was badly damaged. The plants absorbed plutonium •nd the other elements quickly, even when they were present only in trite amounts on the surface of clay or soil particles. Strength of the radiations per gram of soil was only one ten-millionth of the activity of a gram of radium. All elements were found almost entirely in or on the roots. Only of them, strontium, appeared to any extent in the leaves. Wtrt First Mpts 0m4 Although pipe is one of the oldest* recoveries of mankind, no one knows its actual beginning. It may have started with the use of hollow reeds and logs. But some things are certain about the discovery of piping. The earliest definitely known piping is that of the Egyptians and Chinese. There was someearlier piping in tiie Tigris and EhfetSfntos valley, and perhaps some in the Nile valley, but none of it lias been found in good enough condition to make a positive identification. It is known that the Egyptians used copper pipe in 3800 B. C., and the Chinese used hollow bamboo poles at about the same time to pipe gas as much as 100 yards from gas wells to fires tor evaporating salt water to get salt. Some time later, in what is now a part of Syria, several of the palaces and temples had water pipe made of baked clay not the tile drain pipes used today. Syrian piping was joined with a cement type of clay to carry water only from reservoirs on the roofs to the floors below. sr Wals wall coverings, enough to bend around corners, now •re available lor household use. Tbay are eeperislly adapted for rooms where a durable, waterproof covering is desired, such as nurseries, bathrooms, kitchens ud||p> lajeetitfts eff Hwmm Speed Tirfcey Marfcettifi Various hormonal experimenta are under way in the big turkey producing areas of Oklahoma and Texas of ^feeding or injecting young torn turkeys with hormone material two to three weeks before market time. In this way the birds can be quick-finished at the light weights attained at 15 weeks instead of the normal heavier weights of 28 weeks. Such birds will not have pinfeathers at that age, and by being brought to a "bloom" or finish will not have the sales-retarding blue shanks or red legs and wings which IS-week toms normally would have. Besides better ability to meet public demands for smaller birds, producers foresee large savings In costly feed and time. By manipulating production from early and late hatchings, producers also hope to be able to market parts of their flocks in two or three batches a year, and thus spread the business over the entire year. • Bead the %ant Ada «v^- Bmi pare Base Ifee one human grcup which can be considered e "pure" race Is probably the Andamaneee, who in- [ habit the Andaman Islands off toe eoest of Burma.
