Florida Note, Coldest
Spot Is in California
Not long ago a man dropped an
orange in Santa Monica. Calif., and
the citrus fruit shattered into a mil
lion pieces because it was frozen
so solid. The man who dropped the
orange was wearing sheepskin un
derwear and an air-tight suit of
leather. His head was covered with
a helmet fashioned of spun alumi
num and welded to the shoulders
of his insulated outfit.
And since the air he stood in |
might have given him pneumonia if I
he had « breathed it, an ingenious
valve in his suit brought air that
had been warmed by his body up
to his nostrils.
The Santa Monica Chamber of |
Commerce does not deny this story ,
because the most frigid spot on the
North American continent is in the
so-called cold room of the Douglas I
Aircraft factory in that community. 1
The temperature in this room is con
trolled by a mechanism which elim
inates heat so that the mercury falls
as low as 104 degrees below zero.
The purpose of the cold room is '
to reproduce the weather conditions |
under which men and planes must |
function at great altitudes. The test
pilots at the Douglas airplane plant
have found out that, at 35,000 feet,
the temperature is usually about 67
degrees below zero.
Long and painstaking experi
ments in the cold room have made
it possible to know, in advance of
actual flight, that motors will work
in the intense cold of the upper at- I
mosphere and that the men flying
the ships are properly dressed for
their jobs.
Cat Does Not Masticate
Food; Tears It Apart
The cat is a carnivorous or flesh
eating animal. It does not masticate
its food as does the herbivorous ani
mals and as man should. Its teeth
and jaws are not made for that pur
pose. It cannot move its lower
jaw as man and herbivorous animals
do—from side to side. It opens its
mouth by lowering its lower jaw and
closes it by raising it to the upper
jaw or mandible. It uses its teeth for
gripping, puncturing and tearing its
food to the size it can swallow easily
in a lump.
As a cat does not masticate its
food, the salivary glands are small,
there being little demand for the
saliva to mix with the food and
partially predigest it before it en
ters the stomach, where the principal
part of the digestion is carried on
before it enters the intestine to un
dergo further digestion and assimi-
lation. The larger and tougher the
masses it swallows the longer they
remain in the stomach.
The dog and cat have compara
tively large stomachs but somewhat
rudimentary intestines. The longer
the food takes for digestion, the less
craving there is for food until the
next feeding time approaches.
Metal Finder Developed
A radioscope—a strange gadget
that, when unfolded, is its own trans
mitter and receiver, has been in
vented by John Patrick Halloran,
Los Angeles mechanic and air pilot.
The instrument, he explained, is
mounted on a pair of carrying han-
dies between which the operator
stands while carrying the instru-
ment. When carried the transmit-
ter floods the earth with strong
radiation waves that are balanced
with respect to the receiver so that
signals can be registered both in
the headphones and the detecto-
meter dial which is in front of the
operator's eyes.
As soon as the - wave encounters
metal within the • at th the metal be-
comes
by the radio wave
a radiation of its
and s
own. This reflex, he explains, is
picked up by the receiver, resulting
in a loud signal in the headphones
and a strong deflection of the point-
er on the visual indicating instru-
ment.
Curb Disease
It is much easier to keep plants
free from disease than to control
the disease when established. Go
over your borders at least twice a
week uprooting weeds and remove
faded ¡eaves and flowers. Plants
that are prevented from going to
seed continue to develop flowers.
Better prune your honeysuckle
several times during its growing
season. It is only by constant prun
ing that it can be kept within
bounds.
After the fruit has formed on your
currant bushes, if you notice evi
dence of currant worms, spray with
hellebore or pyrethrum.
Literally soak your lawn twice a
week. Semi-weekly soaking is much
better than daily sprinkling.

Smallpox Still Here
Many U. S. citizens believe that
smallpox was wiped out in this coun
try decades ago. Metropolitan Life
Insurance company's Statistical Bul
letin recently pointed out a striking
statistic: the Û. S. in 1939 had over
10,000 smallpox cases. “With the
single exception of India (with al
most 130,000 cases),“ said the bul
letin, “we still lead the civilized
world in our tolerance of this loathe-
some and dangerous disease.” The
reason: failure to vaccinate. Only
ten states (nine of them east of the
Mississippi) have compulsory vac
cination laws. Smallpox is rare on
the Atlantic seaboard, occurs mostly
in Indiana, Iowa, California, Tex-
as, Illinois.
