\ India's Clever _! Ivory Carvers City of Delhi Is Famous For Their Work -- Some Pieces Take Fifteen Years to Com- plete . Tucked away behind the Juma 'Masjid, the great mosque in Delhi city, says the Indian Press Unlon, thers flourish the Ivory carvers for whose work Delhi is famous, Thé visitor will tind "displayed pieces of ivory carving many of which have taken 10 to 1f years to com plete, They range in price from a few rupees fo as.nuch as Rs. 10- L000 for trinket boxes and stands on which the story of the Ramay- ana or the life of Krishna are fllus. trated. Recently, a suite of furnit- ure, carved from ivory, has been completed after 25 years' hard la- vor. It is priced Rs: three lakhs ($100,000). : Jealously Guarded Secret The. art of ivory carving is a jealously-guarded secret, known only to a few families and handed down from father to son, In one workshop the same families have worked for the same family of the owners since the business was started about 1630, The working day is restricted to four hours, as the intense concentration and tae extreme caro required impose a great strain both on the nervous systemsand on the eyesight ~f the workers. The tools used are simple and are usually manufactured by the workmen themsélves., Allies Reveal War Strategy ----t Nazis To Be Worn Down With Minimum Lives Lost No secret is being m J¢ in Lon- dou, England, of the fact that the tentative grand strategy which Great Britain is urging on France includes af Teast four points.

OR ICEBOX TREATMENT POSTPONES DEATH: Postponement of death in liv- ing human cells by. means of an icebox' is described as one result of science's newest ad- vances into the world of ultimate Fahrenheit. It has been discovered that the death of human blood corpuscles can be "almost indefinitely post-. | pened" by extremely low tempera tures béaute of retarded reaction rates of matter in the region o "absolute zero." _ 4 - Ca X-RAYS BY THE MOUTHFUL X-rays can be taken literally by the mouthful by means of a tube newly-devalgped. The tube is long and slender, about the size and proportions of a child's: toy horn. The rays are produced at the tip, in the area that would be the mouthpiece of the horn. x The tube is made to be insegjed into the mouth or any other body cavity. In this way it puts the rays in almost direct contact, within a fraction of an inch, of cancerous growths. The purpose is to avoid the burning of healthy tissue which occurs when X-rays have to pass through such tissues to reach cane cerous growths deeper in the body. ---- GERM-ARRESTING GUM Germ arresting chewipg gum' which would prevent and control teeth decay is seen on the horizon '| of science by twe New York che- mists who report. the belief they finally have identified the immun- ity principle which prevents deday. + Declaring science long known that teeth' of certain indi- viduals are decay-free because of something in their saliva which in- hibits the growth of "acid" bacte- ria, V.

Over-eating Once 'Considered Crime England Had Laws Against It Not Many Years Ago The recent Nazi" view that over- calls the fact that in England not so many years ago overeating, if not high treason, was legally a -erime. Until July, 1856, it was tech- nically unlawful for a man to "ave more than two cdurses at dinner and supper, although upon spec- ially festive accosions he might be permitted three. This statute of Edward III's sumptuary laws was not repealed vntil 1556. In England severe sumptuary laws were enacted In the reigns of VIII. For.long a man dared not eat "what he faneled.
