Two University of California coir lege of agriciiltutfe scientists who worked on the Manhattan project have come up with the answers. The report of their wartime experiments, believed to be the first of their kind, has been cleared with security officials for release. Barley roots were unharmed when exposed to the radiation of ma** made plutonium for only 24 houu. Dr. Louis Jacobson, plant bio-chemist, and Dr. Roy Overstreet, soils chemist, discovered. Longer exposure probably would produce serious damage, Overstreet said. There were marked signs of injury to dwarf pea plants grevvn for three months in a sandy soil containing very small amounts of five fission byproducts. The roots fell apart when lifted from the -soil, and the flow of water and plant food from roots to leaves was badly damaged. The plants absorbed plutonium and the other elements quickly, even when they were present only in trace amounts on the surface of clay or soil particles. Strength of the radiations per gram of soil was only one ten-millionth of the activity of a gram of radium. All elements were , found almost entirely in or on the roots. Oidy one of them, strontium, appeared to any extent in the leaves. Qeelifloatleet Art Nick Ftr StfliUflf Ilrlii ! It takes knowledge of a high order j to become a registered nurse. It : takes sound knowledge, for ex- | ample, of the principles of physics to handle oxygen tents and various inhalation therapies; or the countless complicated suction and traction procedures. It takes a good foundation in chemistry, mathematics and physiology in order to pre* pare, observe and report reactions to a myriad of medications and agents, and to understand normal nutrition and therapeutic diets, It takes an understanding of psychology to deal with pati&nts of all ages, from the new born to the octogeha- 'rian, in all walks of life. The registered nurses of today, in fact, possess a degree of professional competence in excess of that possessed by physicians of o'her eras and the responsibility for this increase in professional knowledge, says American Nurses' association, lies in the education currently offered to student nurses. Students accepted* at any of the 1,250 accredited schools of nursing in the country have a minimum educational background which includes a high school diploma, with etnphasis oil courses in English, biological, physical and social sciences, mathematics, languages and economics.

Beginning of leed Tea Icec' tea was invented as an emergency by an Englishman in America at the 1904 St. Louis exposition. His name was Richard Blechynden and he dreamed up an elaborate exhibit in a costly pavilion to promote tea as the English drink it. He overlooked one important factor. It gets hot in St. Louis in the summertime and hot tea was the last thing visitors were interested in. In. desperation. he experimented with ice an'd came up wi th. substantially the same tempting tasto-pleaser that is served as iced ten »nd?.y His iced item made an jn°t*ntarc<vi!| h t That was >n 1904.

One has to admit it's nioe to ride in a car that is unmistakably itself and not just a slightly modified version of something else. Size, weight? Well, die polls tell us it's a pretty important factor since, if you like an automobile that does things, there just is no substitute for brawn and solid aubstanee. Power? Naturally.
