A mature elm may hold as many as six million buds. Yet only a percentage will open. If squirrels eat some, if others freeze or are damaged, nature has supplied enough to give a tree full foliage. Winter buds are a tree's diadem. Some are as colorful as precious Jewels. They come in many forms, unusual shapes. But never is one Mure. Die architectural pattern Of nature is in spirals and ovals. Look closely and winter buds become works of art. Some contain only flowers; sor/ie hold leaves, still others contain both flowers and leaves. The flowering dogwood by your door has fat silver-gray shoe-button- like buds at the ends of twigs.' These are next spring's flowers. Ejew observe the gray, slender and irarp buds along the twigs, arranged in spiral form. These hold next spring s leaves. Their colors are kaleidoscopic. Buds of a shadbush are rich brown red, fringed with silver hairs. Sweet gum buds are highly polished mahogany red, broad at the base and jtapering sharply. Buds of red maples are crimson trident, and not* .tow all maple buds are grouped in 1 B&ees the end of each twig, with dm tallest one in the center. A willow bud is half an inch long, tapering gradually to a rounded tip.

"A great number of shade trees may die by next spring because of lack of water," Dr. Rush P. Marshall, director of the Bartlett Tree research laboratories, warns. Evergreens and conifers will suffer most. All trees, says Dr. Marshall, must take up a certain amount of water during the winter. The functions of a tree do not stop in winter, but merely slow down. Deciduous trees that drop their leaves lose a certain amount of water through transpiration in the bark. Conifers lose more through their needles. Unless this lost moisture is replaced, winter injury results and "damage shows up the following spring. Winter damage may occur to the roots, too. , When the soil is dry and the air spaces are not filled, with wattfe; the roots of trees dry out and die. - Shallow-rooted trees growing on unfavorable conditions become the Jiret to die. During the last greai •all-and-winter drought, some years •go. hundreds of oak trees died out. particularly on ridges. Their twiga died back and the leaves failed to ceme out. Many or the soft maples put forth but half their normal foliage, then fruited heavily, nature's premonition that death would come soon. Dr. Marshall says that a blanket of snow this winter will be a boon to shade trees. The snow will prevent deep freezing of roots and at ground level will melt sufficiently to ke^£ the 'upper soil moist. In some areas (here still may be sufficient surface rain before the ground freezes to tide some trees over the winter even though no blanket of snow follows. y Diet, Physicians experimental proof Calories and salt have a "profound influence" on blood pressure and length of life has been demonstrated by two Duke University physicians. Drs. Philip Handler and Fredcrick Bernheim, Duke biochemists, have Just completed what is believed to be the first definitive study ft the effect of diet on experimental renal (kidney) Jaigh blood prespure. . Implications of the study may be of great significance, but the Duke scientists point out that it is too •arly to make definite predictions. The investigators produced in -white rats conditions resembling those in humans who suffer from tdgh blood pressure due to kidney disorders, but they say that "at this time it cannot be stated with rnr.tainty whether hypertension created in this way is similar to ^tny type 6f high blood pressure trouble known to man." High blood pressure was produced In the rats by removing all ttf one kidney and about one-half of the other. Rats were then fed -diets containing varying amounts of protein, calories and salt, and <*the effect of the diets was measured by noting the blood pressure tarels and Ifength of life. N?Dr». Handler and Bernheim made ,use for the first time of "synthetic rations" containing the required Amounts of protein, calories and salt. Careful record was kept of daily food consumption of each rat ' -throughout the experiments. The results: ' Rats always developed high blood •pressure when fed commercial animal foods after the kidney operayfan was performed. However, blood pressures were always normal when rats given any kind of diet were prevented from eating ^more than two-thirds of the amount 'they would have eaten of their own -accord. When placed on a low protein diet, the rats' blood pressures soon ^dropped to normal levels unless the diet contained an overwhelming amount of salt. In contrast, animals fed high protein diets invariably developed hign blood pressure even though •' tthey »te no salt k • : _ By Popular Request now have fresh homemade baked goods every May Brinf New lath . Boilding With Stainless Steel The fc*/ilding field has become an important user of chromium-nickel stainless steels for structural and architectural components which are exposed to the elements. Their high mechanical properties combined with ease of fabrication, good weldability and corrosion-resistance have placed t/am in markets formerly held by other metals or non-metallic building materials In 1949 progress was made in the adoption of stainless steels as curtain wall construction for office an£ industrial buildings, roofing, gut? t e r s , d o w n s p o u t s a n d w i n d o w frames. A revolutionary use of this material during the year was in the construction of several stainless steel buildings in the United S fates. ion . - «•*•«» Mew uses of lath an9 plaster to lower the cost of homes and other on-the-site construction are reported by Armour research foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology. Foundation scientists made exhaustive tests of different types of plaster mixes and wall and ceiling construction icr the U.S. department of commerce. Am wig their conclusions were: 1. In the past many joists have been stiffer and more costly than necessary because of a 120-yearold stress i'-c aula not applicable to modern materials or^ methods. 2. Walls can be made stronger and more resistant to plaster cracks by merely changing the position of lath for better reinforcement where greater stresses occur. 3. Plaster strength incscases when the proportion of sand included decreases. 4. Proper plaster thickness and application aids resistance to cracking "Adoption of ideas in the Foundation's report would lead to sturdier plaster construction, lower cost of upkeep, and enhanced appearance of the plaster surface by reducing cracks." William T. Savage, supervisor of Armour's materials/ section, who was' in charge of the* pro} ect, said. t For more than a century, builders have accepted a rule that, if plaster is not to crack, the beam to which the lath is attached must not band in servico more than 1/360th of its length. Foundation researchers made the first laboratory tests of this deflection formula. The scientists found that the rule is out of date for two reasons: 1. In reccnt years conventional lime-sand plaster and wood lath have been replaced by stranger materials-- gypsum planter, gypsum lath, and metal lath. 2. Modern methods of attaching lath to joist allow the plaster independence from much of the stress on beams. Instead of nailing the lath directly to the beam, builders now suspend it or use clip*.

Early Eskimo Whale Hunt Depleted on Whale Bone A pictograph on whale bone Of an ancient Eskimo, whale hunt was among the choice relics of a longvanished culture of mfgrating Eskimo obtained by Dr. Henry B. Collins, Jr., of the Smithsonian institution and his assistant. J. P. Michea of the National museum of Canada, in stone ruins on far northern Cornwallis island in the Canadian Arctic archipelagr, last summer. This site, lying near the. 79th parallel' is one of four old villages with well preserved remaini of none and whale-bone houses. Within historic times the region has been entirely uninhabited. Collins' excavations, the first to be made in th« northern part of the Canadian archipelago, showed that the villages were built, perhaps about. 500 years ago, by whale and walrus hunters who were doubtless ancestral to some of the present- day Eskimos. They represent what is known to Eskimo ethnologists as the "Thule culture." which had its origin in northern Alaska They were primarily whale hunt era. They lived in excellently constructed stone-floored, stone-walled houses with roof supports and beams of whale bone. Collins found one house in which four large whale skulls had been incorporated in the walls. They took the place of large stones. Any precise dating of the ruins is impossible at present, Collins says, but the culture must have been flourishing at a time when conditions in this part of the far North were better suited to human habitation than is the case today. Apparently there was an abundance of bow head whales. Now there are none. Considerable use was made of driftwood. Now it is unknown or. Cornwallis Island.
