Language of Science ICnglish is now the leading language of science, putting German find French in the background, ac- * tording to a survey made by Fletcher S.

Russian, says Boig, was of very slight importance 90 yefcrs ago as a scientific lani «»«gp but now is a serious con- ^ tender for honors' : as the leading foreign language. Among countries publishing scientific periodicals and Articles, the United States has a comfortable lead, with Britain, France, Russia and Switzerland fallowing in that order.

Milk In 4011th Auumts New Keenonie Impertaiiee Dairying is playing *n outstanding role in the national soil conservation program. In a southern county where cotton was the main crop, today dairying is the major enterprise on 100 farms and is a $1,000,000 industry. A recent study of an average group of 10 families in this community shows that their farms pay 6 to 10 times more taxes than 10 years ago. A significant fact is that nine of 26 children in a group of the families have become partners with their parents in dairy farming, 11 have married and gone into dairying themselves and three are still living Kt Rorhe and going to school, fti. H. Brightman, executive secretary of the dairy institute committee, told a senate committee. Only three of the 26 have left the community. A similar study of 10 families in a nearby community that depended largely on cotton showed very different results. Only eight had married and settled in the community and only two were still at home And going to school, but 28 had left. And there *ete no father and son partnerships.^^ Test fer Dranktn Driven May Cit Highway AeelienVt Drunken driving on the nation's highways may be reduced with the aid of an improved method of detecting alcohol in the body which was reported to the American Chemical Society at a national meeting. A paper describing the application of the new test, which was said to possess somewhat greater specificity than conventional methods, was presented by John W. Sease, William H. Harris, and Sigmund Jaffe of Wesleyan university. Middletown, Conn. The importance of a highly accurate test for intoxication is emphasized by a recent survey which, according to the National Safety council, showed that 1? out of every 100 automobile accidents are caused by drunken drivers. Used throughout the summer st the Connecticut state hospital laborator/ on all legal samples submitted for alcohol analysis, the new method converts ethanol, or ethyl alcohol--the type used in beverages --into a. compound called ethyl nitrite. Only ethyl and methyl (wood) alcohol form * nitrites which are gaseous at room temperature. All other alcohols form liquid nitrites and do not interfere with the test. The nitrite gas is purified and its amount then determined by colorimetric means. The test's results for urine alcohol have been exceedingly good, checking well with established methods, and permitting alcohol concentrations to be measured even in the presence, of substances that interfere with conventional methods, the paper said. The report termed results with blood "less satsfactory," with the nitrite method giving results 10 to 15 per cent erroneous when checked with present methods. ed farmstead.
