! National Parks Service
Bans Windshield Stickers
The national park service, as a
highway safety measure, is co-op
erating with state and local govern
ments in efforts to abate the in
creasing tendency of motorists to
cover their windshields with stick
ers. Issuance of stickers to motor- |
ists visiting the national parks and j
other areas in the federal parks sys- j
tern as evidence that they have i
paid the required entrance fees has
been discontinued, Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes has an- ■
nounced.
Widespread distribution of com- ,
| mercial stickers in addition to those ,
| indicating the automobiles had
passed state inspection and those
issued by the national park service
to show a fee had been paid, has
greatly increased traffic hazards,
park service officials point out.
Some state and local governments
have declared the use of all but of-
I ficial stickers to be unlawful.
This action is in line with recom
mendations of the American Safety
council, the American Automobile
association, the American Planning
and Civic association, and similar |
organizations.
Realizing the tendency of travel- |
ers to take the world into their con
fidence as to their journeys, as evi
denced by the sticker-covered lug- j
gage of trans-Atlantic travelers in ;
particular, the national park serv- j
ice is now making efforts to find a
practical and acceptable substitute, 1
as well as to meet the demand of j
the average tourist to have visual j
evidence that he has “been places.” j

Vegetables Are Grown
Using ‘Bathtub’ Culture
| Henry Glair, a Florida farmer, is
j taking up hydroponic—water cul
ture-farming on a big scale.
He has built 12 huge tanks of
wood in which he hopes to produce
a diversified vegetable crop ordinar
ily grown in the field.
The tanks are covered with a
small wire mesh that holds moss
and similar substances as supports
for plants, which will grow in a nu
trient solution. Roots of the plants
will reach down into the tanks.
The bottoms of the tanks are cov
ered with cinders as an added sup
port for plants.
According to Glair the theory of
what is humorously called “bathtub
farming” is fairly simple:
“A plant gets its growth, flavor
and fragrance from sunlight; and
i air from the chemicals carried in
the soil. The soil merely acts as a
support for the plant and provides
it with a part of the chemicals that
it needs. Soil itself may even be
detrimental in that it may contain
elements that retard instead of pro
mote growth. So, theoretically
speaking, if we give a plant me
chanical support, heat, sunlight, air
and water containing the proper
plant food, the plant ought to grow.”
Woodsmen Go West J
The westward shift of the lumber
industry is reflected in a forest serv-
I ice compilation of mill production
I from 1800 to the present time. Over j
the entire period the East has sup- i
plied more than four-fifths of the
American lumber, three-fourths of
which was softwoods and one-fourth
hardwoods. At present, however,
nearly half the lumber cut is from
the western softwoods, which in
i elude Douglas fir, ponderosa pine,
I white pines, hemlock, spruce, and
I redwood. The central region has j
j supplied more than 40 per cent of
| the hardwoods. The cut from 1900
' to 1935 was more than half the cut
for the previous century, but the
mill value for the 35 years was con
siderably greater than half of the
$38,000,000,000 which was the total
estimated mill value of the cut for
j 135 years.
Invention of Gas
i Each type of gas mask has a dis
j tinct field of usefulness and is cov
* ered by a multitude of patents, most
■ of which have expired. In the Uoit
| ed States the first patent on an air
I purifi'-'Sjtic:; type of gas mask was
United Stales patent No. 6529, is
sued to Haslett in 1849. The first
patent on a self-contained breathing |
S apparatus was United States patent}
i No. 7476, issued in 1850 to Lane.!
The first hose mask patent was No.
, 16863, issued in 1857 to Nelson. Gas
' mask development thus goes back
\ many years and is indebted to many
1 individuals.
Radium Over-Exposure
The national bureau of standards
j has developed a device which
I flashes a warning to persons who
I are in danger of over-exposure to
! radium rays. When exposure to*
radium radiation reaches the limit,
■ deemed safe by the bureau’s ex- 1
perts, the device flashes a red light |
and emits a buzzing sound. The bu
reau pointed out that in hospitals,
where large quantities of radium!
are handled jt is important to pro
tect the technicians from overex
posure.
Shortest Airmail Flight
The shortest scheduled airmail i
run in the world is the six-mile |
autogiro airmail service from the

I Tirst Consolidated Schools
| The first state to pass an act per
j milting the consolidation of schools
was New York (Union School law
of 1853, amended and incorporated
as title IX of the Consolidated
School act of 1864). In 1874 the
law was put into operation for the
first time by the town of Quincy,
but it was not until 1890 that the
movement gained much headway.
Invented Hie Cowcatcher
The first cowcatcher was designed
by Isaac Dripps and was on the
locomotive called the John Bull
which was built by Stephenson in
England. It was attached to the
John Bull, which operated on the
Camden & Amboy railroad after
1831. The cowcatcher was support-
I ed by two wheels.
