Have you ever considered the wonder of your bones some 200 "living" bones ranging from your large, heavy femur in the ! upper leg to your light, tiny stirrup bone in tne middle ear.' A normal, healthy bone is said to be "twice as strong as oak" and it is among the most durable objects on earth. Be cause it will not dissolve in wa ter, it may outlast steel or any other metal affected by damp ness. In fact, human bones have been found that are nearly a million years old. Animals' bones, much older. Human bones weigh slightly more than water some, the spongy bones which contain large amounts of air, actually float. About two-thirds of the bone is made of mineral matter es- kvll-2-SJ pecially phosphate of lime which gives hardness and unfortunate ly brittleness in older age.

In addition, bones serve two extremely important functions First, the marrow which many bones contain plays an import ant role in manufacturing red corpuscles for the blood. In the second, the bones are calcium storage vaults. Whenever the calcium supply for blood, nerves and muscles is lower than nor mal, the body draws on this stored supply.

Miss Bertha Adkins, head of the Republican Women's Divis ion, said more than 250,000 per sons in 47 states were personal ly interviewed for the poll. She said the results indicated "grati fying" voter approval of the ad ministration's efforts to maintain peace and prosperity. Repubican state and county vice chairmen undertook the sampling under the title of "Poll Takers of America." Those quer ied were asked to identify them selves as supporters of Mr. Ei senhower, or Adlai Stevenson or as non-voters in the 1952 elec tion. Country 'Better Off Asked if they -'thought the country as a whole is better off now than it was three years ago, when Mr. Eisenhower took of fice, 61.6 of i the Eisenhower backers said yes; 4.3 per cent said the country is worse off; and 34.1 said "about the same." Of the Stevenson supporters, 31.8 per cent voted for better off; 15.9 per cent, for worse off; and 52.2 per cent, for about the same.

Thornton ruled yesterday that blind workers in the Oregon service for the blind in Portland are not state em ployees. The commission for the blind asked the opinion. A contention had been raised in behalf of the workers that work done by them in making brooms and other articles was employment by the state such as would entitle them to old age and survivors insur ance coverage. Thornton, in his 'opinion, said the making of articles by the blind which are sold for their benefit, is not work "for the state or in the service of the state." He ruled it is a state in stitution supported by- taxation and legislative appropriation and can be operated only as a public institution. was 49 per cent better off; 6.8 per cent worse off; and. 44.2 per cent about the same.
