Turf Experts Tell
Correct Way Used
For Growing Lawns
Kansas City, Mo. (U.R)
If your yard, like so many oth
ers, looks more like a hay field
than a lawn, and you want to
do something about it, turf ex
perts will tell you that early
fall is the time to swing into
action.
Early fall being just' around
the corner, Stanley R. McLane,
consultant for the Better Lawn
and Turf Institute, says that
lawn owners who follow "four
simple steps" soon will be rejoic
ing in the new beauty that sur
rounds their home.
McLane is "superintendent of
landscape development in Kan
sas City. He has supervised the
beautification of the Country
club district, an area that a few
decades ago was mostly shaggy
pastureland. Today it embraces
some 20,000 homes and is a
scenic show spot of 'the Middle
West.
Start Clean
McLane's four steps to lawn
beauty include feeding, seeding,
watering and mowing. Here's
his advice:
Cut the grass and weeds as
closely as possible and rake the
yard clean .Then apply fertiliz
er at the rate of 25 to 30 pounds
per thousand square feet. Spread
the fertilizer evenly, raking it
into the ground. Wet it down and
in a few days," work it again
to provide a good seedbeed.
Use only the aristocrat of
grasses Kentucky bluegrass
not a mixture, if you want a blue
grass .lawn. Sow two pounds
per thousand square feet. If you
sow by hand, sow half length
wise and half crosswise.
Cut High
Sprinkle the seed down, but
don't flood it. Use a fine spray
and keep the soil moist . all
through the 15-day germination
period. Daytime watering will
not prove injurious.
Do not cut the new grass until
it has reached a height of three
inches. Then trim only an inch
off the top. Cut as often as nec
essary, but never trim lower than
two inches.
Follow these steps and watch
the crabgrass disappear.
Indian Battles
Intrigue Tourists
La Grande (U.R) The sight
of war-painted Indian warriors
engaged in pitched battle with
U. S. Cavalrymen along High
way 30 near here is creating a
traffic jam as scores of tourists
bring their cars to a halt to in
vestigate the strange spectacle.
The tourists also brought to
a halt production of the million
dollar Universal - International
"Pillars of the Sky" movie with
Jeff Chandler and Dorothy Ma-
lone.-
Director George Marshall
' didn't mind the tourists so much
but the squeals of their children
were getting' ' onto the sound
tracks. He solved the production
hitch by hiring the idle wives of
, Indian warrior ' extras to serve
as babysitters for the young tour
ist palefaces.
Red Air Power Leads
Honolulu (U.R) Gen. Lau-
rence S. Kuter, commander of
the U. S. Far East Air Force,
told a press conference that
Communist air power still out
numbers the Allies in the Pac
ific today.
But Kuter said that despite
the numerical odds the United
States and its supporting forces
continue to maintain the same
air superiority over the Reds
they demonstrated during the
Korean war.
"We are substantially outman
ned and outnumbered," he said.
"We are well below Communist
strength. But I feel we have a

SCIENCE AT WORK
New York U.PJ By ques
tioning 350 men and women who
had been hurt in accidents and
hospitalized, two scientists dis
covered that:
Thirty-eight per cent of them
had been hospitalized before for
accident injuries, "some severai
times;" 33 per cent said that now
and then they couldn't co-ordinate
their bodily movements ef
fectively; 26 per cent tripped and
fell more or less frequently; 45
per cent had visual defects, and
24 per cent, hearing defects.
These percentages indicated
that many accidents have under
lying physical causes within the
individuals who are involved in
the accidents, according to Dr.
Peter Gleason, of the University
of California (at Los Angeles)
Medical School and Marion
Gleason, research' scientist at the
University of Rochester (N.Y.)
School of Medicine.
They were trying to interest
physidians in a new fertile field
of preventive medicine the dis
covery of these causes and their
medical treatment before they
could involve the victims in new
accidents that might well prove
fatal.
Some Questions
But the average doctor doesn't
have time, to investigate the pa
tient thoroughly while setting a
broken leg; nor is the patient in
any condition for thorough ques
tioning. So the Gleasons devised
a questionnaire which can be
filled out quickly with "yes" or
"no" answers. The questions
are:
"Do you frequently forget
what you are doing or saying
for a few seconds? Do you some
times fall asleep, or become very
sleepy, even when you have had
enough rest and should feel
wide-awake? Con you see out of
one eye better than the other?
Do you find it hard to hear
things that other people seem to
hear easily? Does your knee or
ankle 'give way'? Does the heat
make you 'jittery' when you
work in it for a long time? Do
you have hay fever or any other
allergy? Do you ever take any
of the new anti-cold tablets? Are
you often 'all thumbs' when you
handle objects?"
To the trained mind, answers
to such a combination of ques
tions could point to underlying
physical causes of accidents. The
Gleasons' investigation demon
strated once again that which
is well known some people are
accident-prone, they re re
peatedly involved in accidents.
There must be reasons why these
people are. ,
-inti-cold tablets contain anti
histamine " chemicals which can
interfere with effective body
functioning. The Gleasons also
pointed out that nicotine intoxi
cation, "usually associated with
cigar smoking and tobacco
chewing," can reduce the keen
ness of vision.
Or a very slight "foot drop,"
can cause people to trip and fall
regularly. And a very slight
weakening of a certain group of
muscles due perhaps to an at
tack of polio so mild the accident-prone
person didn't know
he was ill will cause a "foot
drop." And episodes of a lack
of co-ordination could point to
"many hidden disorders," they
said for example, inhaling the
in Pacific
vincingly demonstrated in the
kill ratio of MIGs versus Sabre
jets" during the Korean war.
Kuter referred to Air Force
statistics showing that 5th Air
Force F86s destroyed 802' Russian-made
MIG 15s during "the
Korean . conflict against 58 Am
erican plane? lost. .

fumes of certain chemicals might
cause them, and certain medi
cines will cause them in some
patients.
"Undoubtedly, it would be far
better if such disorders could be
discovered before a patient had
a serious accident," they said in
describing their ideas in the
New England Journal of Medi
cine. "The precept, 'a miss is as
good as a mile,' should be kept
in mind in preventive control of
accidents. There may be only a
hair breadth of space or a split
second of time between a missed
accident and a fatal outcome. In
a slight deviation from usual be
havior the narrow margin be
tween a safe and an unsafe ac
tion can be removed."
