Western Maryland was the outstanding performer. At its high of 71, a new top. the issue was up 5s points. Texas and Pacifir Railroad fell 3U points to a new low.

"Use them and lose them," seems to be the slogan of the efficient housekeeper today, Dr. Devine said, in pointing out how manufacturers have supplied dis posable diapers, drinking cups, curtains, towels, bath mats, bak ing tins and even the expendable bathroom bowl cleaning gadget invented by Mrs. Richard Rodg ers, wife of the composer. Dr. Devine predicted that the trend in such items would grow, and that the day of disposable bed linensv pots and pans and clothing is not far off.

(International) Chunk of Soil Tells Researchers Much About Water Washington (U.R) A 65-ton chunk of soil resting on a giant scale is telling Agricultural ' Re search Service scientists a great deal about what happens to water after it falls to earth. This block of land, six feet wide and 14 feet long, is 1500 of an acre. The husky monolith is known as a lysimeter. At the Watershed Hydrology -Station near Coshocton, Ohio, it is yield ing caluable information as to where water goes, what it does to soils, and how crops use it. The lysimeter, established more than 10 years ago by the Soil Conservation Service, ap pears to be jus a plot of earth bordered on all sides by narrow, ground-level concrete walls. But the walls go down eight feet into the ground. Earth beneath the block has been cut away to make room for highly sensitive scales and other measuring equip ment, with plenty of space for technicians to lake readings. , The soil in the block is undis turbed except for the cutting around beneath it. Its surface is level with the surrounding field. Agriculture Research scientists say information from the lysi meter is representative of the en tire field, on which crops are grown in a typical four-year ro tation.. The weight of the huge chunk of soil is recorded automatically every 10 minutes, year in and year out. The lightest dew or the heaviest rainfall is measured. Dew Is Important The scale and the collecting containers measure water run-off and the water that has been ab sorbed into the soil. They also measure water which drains be low the root zone. Also measured by subtraction is the loss of water from the ground and plants by evaporation and transpiration (release of water from the plant leaf pores.) Tests of water drain ed into the collecting tanks un derground tell how much of the various nutrients percolate through. The lysimeter has shown the importance of ' moisture con densed from the air about 2.5 tons per acre on an average sum mer evening which totals more than six inches in a year. In Au gust, 1951, dew at the' station sup plied three times as much mois ture as rainfall. The research scientists using lysimeter tests found it is pos sible to relate land-management practices to moisture conserva tion and use. The scientists said that on a small watershed plant ed to corn, contour farming slows down the run-off from a rain, so the soil can take in more water. In another test on a watershed they found that applying a ma nure mulch to a cornfield after the first cultivation resulted in a three-fold increase in water stored in the top-soil. The Coshocton records show that of Ohio's 38 inches of rain fall, 13 inches ordinarily go by surface run-off or by soil perco lation into the streamflow, and 25 inches go into the air by evapo-transpiration from soil and plants.

The mysteries of this sport, which includes such activities as spearfishing. underwater photography, treasure seeking and just plain damp sight-seeing are described in a-b-c detail by John Tassos in a new book, "The Underwater World" (Prentice-Hall). . . ; Despite its essential character of being a how-to manual, the book has a fascinating quality that is apt to entice even non- swimmers to the point of finally learning their way around in the water just so they can get in on the pleasures and excitement of this rugged sport. Tassos points out that under water spearfishing is now recog nized as a sport by the Amateur Athletic Union to the point where it sponsors regional and national championships, and that since 1933, when the first underwater club was organized in the United States' continental limits, more than 450 clubs have been formed. , Tassos himself graduated from the sky to underwater ex ploration when the end of World War II left him without employ ment as an aerial photographer. He relaxed from war work by satisfying an ambition to loaf for a spell on an island in the Florida Keys, and it was there that the fascination of paying personal calls on fish got its hooks into him. "A fish on land," said Tassos, "is just an item on the menu, but down there a fish is a real personality, and I have, yet to meet one that doesn't have at least one redeeming quality Flying is for the birds."
