These testa are "explorations in working out answers to some of the many questions that puzsle science in connection with S.4-D and other growth regulating substances. This new research tool. is. identified by the initials "INBA"--the first standing for the iodine. Applied to a leaf of a young bean plant the INBA moves" through the plant apd concentrates in partly expanded leaves at the growing point and severely checks their growth. Applied similarly to a barley plant, INBA likewise concentrates in the young leaves. but apparently does not injure the plant BfCh. The radioactivity makes itjpssible to use a delicate instrumeni-~an electrometer-- to trace the INBA mpving.in the plant in a manner similar to that used to trace iodine and other elements in animals. In some respects INBA acts similarly to 2,4-D, which has developed in a few yearafrom a laboratory novelty to have nrarmous practical value, parti) SMlftlui a weed killer. Like 2,44), the INBA has a selective effect, injuring the broad leaf beans but having only slight effect on the grassy barley. In applying this byproduct of atomic bomb research to plant study. _the investigators are looking forward to the possible use of INBA and other closely related growth regulators in practical crop production. Fortunately INBA is fairly easy to synthesize in the laboratory, and radioactive iodine can readily be obtained. Radioactive iodine has a "half life' (loses half its radiant power) of 8 days, which is longer, than many radioactive chemicals. Cancer and polio, was announced by Dr.Dorothy Wrinch of Smith cofo tvgv* Pointing out that viruses have been shown to be complex nucleo-proteins, Dr. Wrinch declared that the native protein is now recognized as the "key molecule in health and dis ease." Nevertheless, she said, although it is known that a protein functions in a living being through its atomic pattern, that pattern so for has defied discovery, and until it is determined "physiologists and pathologists apd biologists in general must continue to grope in the dark." Althbugh she emphasized that laboratory synthesis of a functioning protein might remain far hi the future, she expressed the hope that a "blueprint" of protein structure could be obtained by application of her theory, which Juggests building up a new mo&cule by moulding its vyious surfaces on the surface pat* < terns of existing protein molecules, just as a waffle's surface is moulded on the surface of a waffle iron. rar shipment of ginweed," from the China recalte chapters of American The withered rod!

Fibers differ in chemical nature, silk and wool being protein from animal sources, and cotton, linen and rayon cellulose from plant sources. Soap, because of its alkaline content, cleans plant fibers better. For washing all-weal blankets, detergents proved bettsr, iwt blankets of 75 per cent wool and 25 per Cent cotton washed better with soap. Detergents were not successful with woolen baby clothes because although they removed soil they did not remove food stain* Silk stockings washed successful^ with either ugh colors did not fade as quickly with detergents, cotton and ray&n dresses, and table linens developed a soiled, grimy appearance when washed with non-soap compounds in the Montana experiments.

New | knives are not sharp but they have 'only been ground down to a point l whes* they are ready to be properfly beveled and sharpened. First, either a grind rock or a carborundum stone can be used. Then, oil and a steel are also needed to complete the equipment. In speaking of steeling, the steel is used to straighten the edge of ai knife and not to sharpen it. The knife edge is generally turned-when it pomes in contact with a boMa or other hard object. This explains the need for freqyent steeling of the knife, as the butcher does in his shop. A half-dopen i strokes on each side of the knife are sufficient in steeling. Holding the knife at the j?roper angle to the steel ' is tb : most iinportant feature.
