Steel Technicians Using Marvelous New Instruments • An instrument that can determine the hardness of a single crystal of steel is one of numerous new devices being used by steel company technicians in their widely varied activities. Known as the "microhardness tester," the instrument is capable of taking hardness readings at three spots within the width of a human hair. The technicians in steel are also now using autoradiograms, which are patterns produced on photographic plates by the action of radioactive elements, to supplement microscopic studies. The Geiger counter, famed for its ability to detect uranium and other radioactive substances, has been adapted to a quick, accurate way' of analyzing steel. Another new instrument is the "recording torque magnetometer." It measures the ability of steel to stretch uniformly undfr the action of dies. High speed color photography has been employed to study the physical reactions inside the hearth of a blast furnace. The pictures, taken at a sp^ed of 3,000 frames a second, show the travel of incandescent particles of raw materials which are estimated to be moving at • speed of 135 miles an hour. i^iki^ it otor The membership chairman has made an appeal and request to all members. The drive is on. If you have a friend not yet a member of the order, at least ask him if he wants to associate himself with the strongest iay organisation in the Catholic church.

Belaf by Cities Cities are broadening and tightening up smoke control programs la an all-out effort to lift low-hanging smog clouds, the American municipal association reports. More than 200 municipalities ID the U.S. have adopted smoke control ordinances. In general, these ordinances prohibit emission ad dense stroke of more than a few minutes (Juration. Notable exceptions are St. Louis and Pittsburgh, where anti-air pollution laws prohibit the use of smoke-producing fuels or require the use of a type of burner that will consume high volatile coals without producing smoke. A new set of rules drafted to enforce New York city's smoke abatement ordinance extends controls to cover smoke emission, kind of fuels sold and installation of new heating equipment. This is the third attempt by the city's board of smoke control to draw up effective regulations. Under the revised regulations, greater control will be exercised over fuel to regulate the sulphur content of smoke, reducing its damaging power. The New York board proposes to determine the volatile content of all fuel used ih the £ity' and see that it does not' contain more than two per cent of sulphur by weight. Possible damage from air pollution is forcibly pointed up by the experience of Donora, Pa.' In addition to the 20 deaths that resulted "from the smog of 1948, the real market value of Donora property dropped more than nine per cent in 1949. At the end of 1946--the smof occurred in October 1948--the total actual value of real estate in the city was $34 million. A year later the market values of total property had dropped to $30.8 million .although property throughout the state, generally, showed an Increased market value 18th Century Camouflage .

The governor's proclamation declared that the period widely accepted as a notable occasion for stressing and publicizing the highest ideals of our public school system." American Education Week is sponsored by the National Education association, the American Legion, the United States Office of Education, and the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Sbariesten Gives Hetfeet Te Daneers with Flat Feet The Charleston is one of the be«t exercises devised for flat feet. Of the 25,000 students who have taken Charleston lessons at the Arthur Murray N.Y.C. studios alone (within a two-month period) 35 per cent of them were recommended by podiatrists and chiropodists: A list has been compiled of the advantages of dancing to health and foot care. Besides the Charleston, whose toe-in, toe-out movement embodies a prescribed exercise that greatly strengthens the arches, other forms of dancing, such as fox trot, rumba, samba and waltz bring into action the muscles of the feet and legs, and stimulates circulation there which is so essential in the development of good posture and good health. Foot care is also essential to those who wtould enjoy dancing to the utmost. Corns, calluses and other foot troubles should be treated by a podiatrist or chiropodist, and the feet kept supple by wearing shoes that properly fit at all times. ISM WMnilb B* Mm ti lnr Stnrk* FteM Don Quixote would get a shock If he tried tilting with 1950 windmills. The graceful, circling arms of that would-be knight's adversary bear little resemblance to the flashing. steel blades of the modern windmill -- designed along Eiffel Tower lines for use in man's newest effort to generate electricity by wind power. The 20th century version of the windmill will get its latest test on Costa Head, in the stormy Orkney Islands. Wind data already studied indicate a potential energy supply there that may match the area's hydoelectric resources. If the steel windmill under Construction in the Orkneys proves successful, engineers see in the future a new source of power only half as costly as that generated by coal-consuming plants. . lit will mean, too. a fresh career for the ancient windmill that began its service to man sometime before the 12th century and has worked faithfully through the years grinding his corn, irrigating his fields, pumping his water, and on occasion, even "speaking" for him. History neglected to record the invention of windmills, but they first became common in Germany and Holland. By the 15th century the "pumping mills"--used for draining land--were a Dutch necessity. Despite the unpredictability of the wind, windmills proved an enormously effective power machine for those days, since a weD placed mill generally ran eight out of 24 hours.

If you planted a vegetable garden, chances are you have run headlong against some insect enemies, says Gordon T. Mickle, entomologist for the Colorado A and M extension service. Early planted vegetables are usually attacked by flea beetles as soon as they push through the ground. A five percent DDT dust, or two tablespoons of 50 per cent wettable DDT per gallon of water, can be used to control. these tiny beetles. That is, provided the tops are not for human food, he cautions. On sucHt vegetables as spinach, iettuce, beet tops, etc., a 75 per cent rotenone dust should be used since it is relatively non-poisonous to man. Bessemer Steel Pipe • "thomas J.
