WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Snake Bite Kit One of the most ingenious uses to which plastics have been put is In the snake bite kit, army issue to American servicemen fighting In the tropics, relates the Financial Post. Snake bite is a serious menace to men fighting in these regions, and quick measures have to be taken if the victim's life is to be saved. Main requirement is to suck the venom from the lymph capillaries of the person bitten by a poisonous Teptile, if death or serious illness is to be averted. The U. S. Army Medical Corps has provided American army men with a handy snake bite kit, small and compact, and containing materials for quick treatment. In it are a tourniquet, bandages, iodine and ammonia capsules, in a plastic ease which is dustproof and watertight. There is also a small knife for opening the wound, and a pump to suck the venom from it The pump was originally made of aluminum, which was a great improvement over the rubber bulb suction pump formerly used. When aluminum became scarce, the pump was re-designed in plastic, which has proved superior to aluminum. The thin walls of the aluminum pump bent quite easily, thus destroying its effectiveness. Great problems were involved in molding the plastic parts of the kit.

They stood before a lion's cage and the father explained how fierce and strong lions were and how they would attack and devour human beings. The little girl looked thoughtfully at the lion. Then she said: "Daddy, if it got out of the cage and ate you up, what number bus would I have to take to get home?" Bomb Loader: "That's funny, when I told him my nickname he started to run." Bombardier: "What's your nickname?" Bomb Loader: "Butterfin-gers--why?" Having told all his friends that he was going to retire, Sandy excited some comment by continuing to catch the 8:45 to the City. At last one of them tackled him. "Here, Sandy," he said, "didn't you tell us that you had retired?" "Ay, and I have," replied Sandy; "but I must work out my season ticket, ye ken." Employer (interviewing applicant for job): "Know anything about electricity?" "Yes, Sir." "What's an armature?" "A chap who boxes for nothing!" Oldtimer: "Is your married life one grand sweet song?" Newly Wed: "Well, since our baby's been born it's more Hke an opera, full ofg rand marches, with loud calls for the author every night." This thought I think I think Is not my thought, But the thought Of one Who thought I ought To think his thought. Wild Animals Plague Norway-Bears, wolves, wolverines and foxes have staged such a comeback in Norway during the last three years that they have become a plague to the Norwegian farmers. Stripped of their firearms by Nazi order, the Norwegians are unable to combat the pests.. Wolves, formerly confined to northern Norway, have spread southward. One Gudbandel farmer recently lost 35 sheep in a single night. NOW... Many Downed Air Crews Are Rescued Vice-Adm. Aubrey W. Fitch, South Pacific air commander, says it's almost unbelievable how many of his downed men have been rescued after battling the Japanese over Rabaul, New Britain. He reported recently that more than 80 percent of the ■ personnel forced to ..land at sea have been picked up and rescued. He said the total was around 1,500 men. A? *S GIVES YOU A SUPER-REMEDY oedy.

With a net fashioned from a G.I. mosquito head net, the amateur entomologist spends his spare time pursuing his favorite hobby, even to within range of Japanese guns. ■A Marine combat correspondent wrote thus of Pharmacist's Mate Shulman to a friend: "One of the strangest things I've seen on Bougainville was a camouflage-clad warrior, net poised, wallowing through a swamp, chasing butterflies. "When I saw him 1.3 was only a short distance behind the front lines. 'Bougainville is a swell place for butterflies,' he told me. 'Beau- . tiful species here, some so rare you never see them in books.' " The grapefruit was brought Florida by the Spaniards in t 16th century. BAIIY CHICKS CHICKS APPROVED CHICKS V V I i.Al:[.
