What Science * Is Doing * Carbon Dioxide is Necessary >â- -'Carbon dioxide, which has been identified for decades by laymen and physicians as being the main ingredient in foul or used air, is now regarded by medical research workers as being a necessary con- stituent of the breathing process, McGill medical research work- ers point out that the despised carbon dioxide is really what causes us to breathe. It acts as a stimulant on the respiratory cen- ters. This is the reason that in modern resuscitation work oxygen is mixed with a small quantity of carbon dioxide which, When it en- ters the lungs, stimulates them in- to action. Cures Apple Ills Injection of a chemical known as boron into the trunks of apple trees afflicted with “corky, bore” is said to give almost 100 per cent, control over, this bane of apple growers. t: The discovery is reported bÿ L. 1 C. Young, horticulturist, and asso- ciates at the Dominion Experi- mental station at Fredericton, N.B. After several years' work they are experimenting to see if boron can be applied as a soil treatment. New Cancer Method Invention of radium threads, a new method of treatment for can- . cer, was announced last week at the New York City Cancer Insti- tute. The threads are made by taking ordinary “sutures” used by surg- eons for sewing- up wounds, and inserting in them, spaced like beads, tiny gold or silver “seeds”. ; The seeds, long used in cancer treatment, contain radon, the gas from radium, which gives off ex- actly the same rays as radium. The seeds are so small that the surgical radium thread is smooth enough to be sewn into, or around, a cancer. The advantage for the “thread radium,” according to its originators, Dr. Fred Hanes and associates, is the certainly of plac- ing the burning substance in pre- cisely the be"* - vYA'd The S,..i v ...e...eut The noted physicist, Jean Per- rin, informed the French Acad- emy of Science his collaborators have discovered what is believed to be the 93rd chemical element â€"a substance heavier than uran- ium. The scientist, president of the academy, said the element had been found in stable form in min- erals containing uranium, notably pitchblende. By using a powerful spectro- scope, he said, his colleagues had distinguished four new spectral lines which were believed to have been caused by the presence of transuranium, a nucleus whose atom would contain 93 positive charges. • Starch-Making Animal The discovery that one small, barely-visible water animal can make, in 25 days, more starch and fat than the whole United States could eat, was described last week at the Marine Biologi- cal Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. The animal is Chilmonas, a flagellate, so termed from the fact that he swims by lashing- with fine, hair-like arms called flagel- la. Scientists got interested in him because, unlike virtually all other living thing's, he is able to make starch and fat without light. Starch and fat are two of the three essential foods. Protein is the other. Hems Require Some Privacy Before going- into the privacy .«if the henhouse it’s a good idea to rap on the door, says H. W. Titus, a poultry expert at the na- tional agricultural research sta- tion, Beltsville, Maryland. “Then the chickens know what to expect, come to attention and face the door,” he explains. "There is no fluttering â€" no â- larm,” Otherwise, the birds are apt to get excited, flutter, and injure themselves.

This is not so difficult as many per- sons believe. It is merely a case of reciprocity. There is just one way to make a friend, and that is to be one. ENEMIES------- It used to be said that a qian was known by the enemies he had. But is it really necessary to have en- emies? Few of us want to be an enemy to anyone, therefore we know others are not anxious to be our enemies. Hatreds never bring happiness. Timekeeper â€" “I am very pdrr'y to hear of your partner’s death. Would you like me to take his place?” Boss â€"• “Very much, if you can get the undertaker to arrange it.” Don’t 'get discouraged! It has been said of Columbus that when he started out, he didn’t know just where lie was going; when he got there, he didn’t know where he was; and when he came back, he didn’t know where he had been. An old time farmer went into a store to buy a shirt and the clerk tried to sell him a trunk also. Farmer â€" “What would I use a trunk for?” Clerk â€" “To keep your clothes in.” Farmer â€" “Say, do you want me to run around naked?” i The BOOK SHELF] By ELIZABETH EEC-Y THE DOOMSDAY MEN By J. B. Priestley It is in a light-hearted mood that Mr. (“Good Companion”) 'Priestley, having swapped English mists: for desert spaces, has come on what he calls “a fairy-tale in Western rig.” “Fairy-tale” indeed suggests only part, of the story of “The Doomsday1 Men.” Buried in it lies most of the makings of a murder mystery. It has more than a “tinge of a Western” and a generous slice of romance. There is a beautiful damsel in distress, who has a brace of wicked uncles and a father who is a modern magician, a scientist. There is an impecunious but un- daunted suitor; an innocent scien- tist, a domestically inclined sol- dier of fortune, a dare-devil, a de- lightful widow with gray curls. Over all of them and many other millions hangs a fate that it would be unfair to disclose. You enter the book by way of the murder mystery. Then both love and sus- pense thicken, and the tale winds its fabulous way up a canyon near the edge of Death Valley. It is ridiculous to suppose that youth and virtue will not triumph, but nevertheless it is a relief to note that the final chapter is “Dooms- day;â€"and Afterwards.” “The Doomsday Men,” by J. B.

It’s a cool slow-burning smoke/ Casa Loma Tunnel Relieves Hay Fever Fifty thousand people, from every province of Canada, every state in the United States and from a score of foreign countries, have visited Casa Loma, Canada’s outstanding showplace, so far this summer, W. C, Davidson, K.C., chairman of the Casa Loma Committee of the Ki- wanis Club of West Toronto, an- nounced last week. At least another 100,000 people are expected to visit the Castle be- fore November, swelling the Ki- wanis Club’s “Underprivileged Chil- dren’s Fund.” Guides at the Castle reported that the uarter-mile tunnel between the Castle and the quarter-million dollar stables is the most fascinat- ing spot to tourists. The tunnel is said to be the only one of its kind on the North American continent. Hay fever victims are expected to swarm the tunnel starting August 15. Last year scores of them spent hours in the Castle tunnel and claimed to be relieved of their ail- ment so long as they remained in the cool pollen-free passageway. ...Gardening Notes... PLANT THEM NOW August embraces many garden operations which usually are assoc- iated with the fall. This is particu- larly true of the planting of certain bulbs. Madonna lilies usually do the best if planted in August. The rea- son for this is easily explained by the fact that it is the nature of the bulbs to develop some broad foliage before the arrival of winter. Oriental Poppies , August does not seem to he a fa- vorable month for planting peren- nials, yet it is at this time that the Oriental poppy (Papaver orientale) is most successfully planted. Unlike most perennials, the plants die down gradually after their flower- ing in May and June, until by Aug- ust they have become entirely dor- mant, During this dormant period transplanting of the long tap-root- ed plants is accomplished with the greatest success. In the early fall the plants resume both top and root growth, and recently moved plants establish themselves for the winter. To grow really fine Oriental pop- pies the soil should be prepared 18 inches deep. A good loam, enriched with well-rotted manure or compost is ideal. Fresh manure should never be used, as there is danger of its rotting the fleshy roots. If well rot- ted manure, or compost, cannot be obtained, dried sheep manure and some commercial form of humus may be substituted. These should be thoroughly mixed with the soil before planting. DISCOURAGE EARLY BLOOM Some chrysanthemums, and dah- lias of the large flowered exhibition, type, may be showing buds now,, but it is best to discourage early blooming. .Both of these fine flow- ers are late summer and autumn subjects and require cooler weather and particularly longer and cooler nights, to develop to their best, Early blooming not only exhausts the plants prematurely, but the flowers that are produced are us- ually poorly formed, and not so good In color as those that develop later on. Insects which attack and deform the blossoms are also more prevalent now than later. Therefore another pinching back of the plants â€" even if this has already been done once or twice â€"- is in order. ^Scratching HrftEUEVB Itching ^Insect Bites Even the most stubborn itching of insect bites, nth* lete’s foot, hives, scales, eczema, and other externally caused skin afflictions quickly yields to cooling, anti- fieptic, liquid D.
