Called an "area health monitor," the new device will be installed in atomic energy plants, water works, laboratories, hospitals, and other areas requiring records of beta gamma or x-ray radiation. Its main function is not to measure intensity of radiation at the source, but to indicate whea an area has become sufficiently contaminated to be dangerous to human beings. According to engineers, the new health monitor is designed to measure and record what is known as the "ionizing potential" of gamma rays within an area. This is the important factor in determining the effect that the radiation will have in human tissue. Bleach** . Bleaches for coffee stains use two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide to each gallon of water. The stains should be soaked for one-half an hour. Health Bales Chang* .. No longer required in most U.S. communities are the bright yellowand- black quarantine signs which used to proclaim the presence in a household of measles, mumps, scarlet fever and the other communicable diseases. Although placarding is no longer required in many U.S. cities, local health departments have by no means relaxed their fight against children's diseases and parents are still held responsible for keeping sick children home. The doing away with quarantine signs in America has been accompanied in most cties by a much more liberal policy on the part of school and health authorities in setting up blanket quarantines. If Billy Jones gets measles he will be sent home and told to stay home until he's well, exacUy as was true a generation ago. But hfr classmates in the second grade and even his brothers and sisters may be allowed to continue in school, although, they will be subject to a daily physical checkup on their arrival in school by a physician or a school nurs% Enhance the Appeal Chopped nuts and cut-up raisins added to a jflain butter icing enhance the appeal and give you a nice filling to use in-between layer cakes.

R«MMM MM MM It MtJ«f MmHM NMm The moon, with all its romsatt* significance, is nothing hut a great, big problem to scientists. The problem is how to reach it. Dr. I. M. Levitt, director of the Fels planetarium in Philadelphia has an idea on how to solve it. Dr. Levitt says a rocket ship about 250 feet long and 75 feet in diameter, shaped like a cigar, should do tho job. The major problem Is fuel. Or. Levitt says the best fuel today is a mixture of alcohol and liquid oxygen which could power a craft at a speed of two miles per second. That isn't fast enough, however, because the ship must attain the speed of "escape velocity," which is seven miles per second, before It can break loose from earth's gravitational pull. « Dr. Levitt says step rockets could provide the fxtra push for the ship to reach "escape velocity." One* that speed is attained, the ship would revolve around the earth like a satelite. Then, it pan be used as a jumping off place for other craft, saving them the trouble of reaching "escape velocity". The astronomer says a space ship satellite could be urtd for worldwide weather predictions, scientific vacuum experiments, a radar beacon for navigators around the world and clearer observations of the universe by astronomers. ftiB th*r meaning "little start."

The seventh asteroid known to cut across the earth's orbit was discovered on August 31, 1951, on photographic plates of Palomar Observatory's "Big Schmidt" sky survey telescope. The new minor planet measures only one to two miles across. At time of discovery it was about 19.000.00U miles from earth, going away. It had been about 1,000,- "00 a3%s closar a few day* before.

The Australian studies show that aheep grow up to tWenty-flve per cent more wool when ted both potatoes and urea as supplements to grass. The reason, explains Dr. A. W. Peirce, a mei.,lx r of the university ftaff, is that k eep need protein to make wool--and grass is very low in protein. However, just adding protein supplement to sheep rations is apparently not enough. The sheep require starch--of which spuds are a cheap source--to make the best use ot protein. A little over three ounces of starch a day was enough to do the trick with Dr. Peirce's test sheep, • *,*.::••• fcggs Hard-cooked eggs can he used to good advantage to "stretch" leftovers, especially In such items as popular "one-dish meals."
