This new development is a result of 16 years of research and experimentation by four scientists on the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that covers the eye. By observing the. capillaries in the conjunctiva^ the scientists discovered that red blood cellseach about the size of a capillarydo not flow through the capillaries freely in unhealthy bodies, as they do when the health is good. Instead, they form clumps Which cut off nourishment from cells usually supplied by the capillaries.

This is the basis on which all pottery of the previous 4,000 years was built--the primitive foundation on which all Egyptian, Chinese and Greek pottery was developed. It was ancient man who invented the potter'y wheel. The Egyptians developed pottery of glowing color. The Chinese, out of their glazed, jhard-fired pottery, gave the world jthe white translucent porcelain that fbecame the wonder of the medieval Iworld. 1 Pottery-making was * family art, •*a secret, handed down from father to son, for many generations, according to National Patent council. The practice continued even after the founding of the American colonies, but in the American Constitution there was written a provision for protection of invention without i,secrecy. Today the best in United States pottery and porcelain is as good as any made elsewhere in the world. J Tracking %:w* * .

It is claimed that only Mrs. Briant knows the secret of making ant palaces-- miniature glass-topped castles each containing 1,000 ants busy organizing their own social life. Her late husband, a entymologist, perfected a special process for traps-, ferring ants to an artificial environment. After his death 20 years ago, Mrs. Briant continued the work on the project. The United States is i Halt «f HiifWf I Hlili Wissufcir Iform i "SicsaaV is the byword now* to \ Russian-ruled Budapest, Hungary. According to Dr. A. N. J. den Hoi-: lander, Dutch acholar, "sicsas" is J the Hungarian version of the Span-! ish "manana," when that word is, used to denote postponement! or procrastination. Dr. den Hollander, who spent I some time in the Hungarian cap-1 ital as a researcher and lecturer ; in sociology for Northwestern university (Chicago) says: { "In spite of their fascination at: anything mechanical, the Russians' cannot run anything efficiently. For j all their love of watches, they can-' not do anything on time. There is! a word on everyone's tongue now | in Budapest--"sicsas." "Tomor- j row maybe," is an equivalent' American translation. Ask a re-. quest of a Russian and he says1 only "sicsas," whether he's on: duty or not. "The Hungarians have always! been by American standards, post-1 poners. Now they are amused that ] their Russian masters are worse' than Hungarian& at letting things! go, putting off, and being generally l irresponsible. *i "In the Russian-dominated city many spots are. feverishly gay. Anyone with sufficient money catf buy anything he wants, including American cigarettes, nylons, coffee and tea. Amusements are wide open. The Russians, particularly, flock to the opera. "Real estate prices in the city are lbw, and buying and building are stagnant. Who .wants to buy a house or build one, when Communist redistribution may take it away" i <n - taba Stays at T§# »f List As St ana af Warltf's lifar ^ Two successive record sugar crops--6,48,000 tons' in 1947 and about 6,678,00 tons in 1048--again have demonstrated that Cuba is the world's largest and most dependable producer of sugar. Cuba, with an area about equal to that of Pennsylvania, has produced in both years about onefifth of the world's sugar crop averaged about 90 per cent more than the combined production of the United States continental beet and cane sugar areas as well as Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the other principal areas presently supplying sugar to United States consumers. " These record crop* were made possible by Cuba's outstanding natural advantages of climate, soil and topography, and by the skill and initiative of those engaged in the Cuban sugar industry. The climate of Cuba is tropical, being uniformly warm atod frostfree, so that sugarcane grows throughout the year. Mean monthly temperatures at Havana vary from around 80 degrees in the summer moi.ths to 70 degrees in the winter.
