The two bombs dropped on Hiro shima and Nagasaki, which brought World War II to an end in one final convulsion of agony, killed about 110,000 Japanese. That comparison was made by Ned H. Dearborn, president of the National Safety Council. The 400,000 Americans have been killed, Dearborn said, “not by the products of genius, but by the old stupidities. Accidents—the banal, needless, profitless, pre-war type of accidents—have killed almost four times as many people in post war America as the atom bomb killed in Japan." Dearborn said the accidental death toll in other countries of the world cannot be estimated, but if the world rate is anywhere near the American, about six million hu man beings have been killed in the four years of the atomic area. “I am not trying to gloss over the menacing possibilities of atom ic warfare,” he said. “The efforts being expended to secure the world against a holocaust deserve the best of our understanding and sup port. But the other disaster—the disaster of accidents—is not a pos sibility; it is a grim and bloody fact. The millions<twho have died in the world, the 400,000 who have died in the United States, are no less dead because they died singly or in small groups, scattered in both space and timej.” How Seismograph Operates A seismograph detects earth quakes in this way. If you put a coin on a sheet of paper on a table and suddenly pull the paper away, the coin will not move with it but will drop to the table. The main part of a seismograph is a massive pendulum which similarly'" resists movement, even though the ground may move under it, according to G.E. research scientists. This rel ative motion between ground and pendulum is magnified (in modern instruments by electrical and opti cal means) and recorded on photo graphic paper. The seismograph may be tuned so that it will re spond to the relatively slow waves in the earth, with periods of several seconds, that come from distant earthquakes, but not to the larger and more rapid vibrations from local traffic or nearby ex plosion. Heated Highways Heated highways have been tried successfully in several sections of the country. In Oregon, a highway underpass, which would be par ticularly dangerous under icy con ditions, was equipped with pipes laid under the pavement through which an anti-freeze solution heated by hot springs in the vicin ity was circulated. Near Detroit, the Michigan highway department installed electric heating units each 18 inches wide, under the tire tracks of a six lane highway for a distance of 500 feet. Initial experi ments showed the per hour cost of the de-icing operation to be about $1 per hour. from the Fourth Ward for two terms prior to serving as mayor for one term, ending on January 1, 1944.

U.S. Treasury Department Veterinarian Describes Tension in Cattle Bloat Modern “soapless” washing powders make mountains of suds for the same reason that pastures sometimes give a cow a mammoth stomach-ache. It’s largely a matter of “surface tension,” the American Veterinary Medical association was told at its national convention in Detroit by Dr. A. H. Quin, a veterinarian of Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Quin explained it this way: “If you toss some of the new detergent washing powders into water and agitate it, a great mass of foam develops because the pow der decreases the surface tension of the water and the air is then en trapped by films of the detergent. “A like reaction occurs when a cow eats heavily on high-moisture legumes and grasses containing saponins. Surface tension of the stomach contents is reduced, and muscular agitation of the stomach walls then creates a foam of car bon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide and other gases.” Soap suds are fine, but a case of bovine bloat can be serious. So, Dr. Quin said, veterinary medical scientists have developed new chemical agent* to increase sur face tension, and these agents are being used effectively in treat ment of bloat. “One of the most efficient types of these new chemicals is called methyl silicone,” Dr. Quin said. “Tablets and liquid suspensions of methyl silicones were supplied to veterinarians. Reports on treat ment of 175 cases of cattle bloat show 133 successful recoveries—a quite outstanding record." Over 2000 Frog Species Are Scattered Over World “Disinflation” has hit the frog. The London zoo, in its annual in ventory, now rates the specimens in its frog and toad collection at three pence each (five cents), com pared with the sixpence of last year’s tally. At either three or six, the low price indicates how common the common frog is, the National Geo graphic society observes. The en terprising small boy can assemble this amateur zoo of neighborhood types almost as easily as the big gest collectors. There are about 2,000 different species of the frog and toad family known as tailless amphibians—that is, adapted to both water and land. They are scattered over the tropi cal and temperate world except in spots where it is too dry. Of the dozens of frog species in the United States, the spotted leopard-frog, so widely used in biology classes, is the most com mon east of the Rockies. The deep voiced bullfrog, the piping spring peeper, the brilliant green frog, and the colorful wood-frog are among other pop-eyed denizens of American streams and marshes whose curious change from the streamlined swimming tadpole into the hopping, singing frog is one of nature’s most fascinating pro cesses^ Fathered Jury System William the Conqueror fathered the present-day jury system by summoning "twelve lawful men” from each district of England to act as fact finders in determining taxes that each landowner should pay. Two centuries later, says the National Geographic society, trial by jury; was adopted when the sworn 12 became, not the witnesses to fact, but the judges of evidence. Benson’s Old-Fashioned 4-Layer with Boiled Icing IS THE FINEST CAKE YOU EVER TASTED! NEARLY MILLION SPENT THIS YEAR FOR REHABILITATION Asa climax to “Hire The Physic ally Handicapped Week”, Governor Herman Talmadge last week urged Georgia employers to give jobs to physically handicapped persons whenever possible. The Governor said that these handicapped persons make capable and steady employees and deserve a chance to earn a de cent living. He said that his administration j is doing as much as it possibly can j to aid the handicapped and has in- j creased State services during the j present fiscal year over previous | years. He cited the fact that Georgia j will have a total of $950,000 to spend for vocational rehabilitation this year, as compared with SBOO,OOO last year. This was made possible by $75,000 extra set aside by Talmadge for this work, which is matched by an equal amount from the Federal government. The Governor called attention to the State Schools set up to train handicapped persons—the two at Clarkesville and Americus, the School for the Deaf at Cave Springs, the Academy for the Blind at Ma con, and the Factory for the Blind at Bainbridge. Records show that 3,075 disabled Georgians were placed in jobs last year after receiving some service, such as physical restoration, train ing and guidance. This was the largest number rehabilitated during any 12 months since the program started 28 years ago, and only four other states exceed Georgia’s rec ord in this respect. PICTURES FOR THE HOME There is a definite relationship between a picture and the wall against which it is placed, according to home improvement specialists. In choosing any picture for the' home, one should consider its size and where it is to be placed, as well as its color and general character.
