New York (U.R) Stocks
turned down today in the major
sections.
Industrial shares had their
most severe average decline
since Feb. 12, the day the mar
ket made its lows for 1957. Rails
joined the decline on small
losses. A decline of more than
a point in Peoples Gas brought
the utility average down.
Many issues outside the groups
making up the averages regis
tered wide gains. A few had
substantial losses.
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.

Disposable Items
Intrigue Visitor
New York (U.R) Displace
ment of the old housewifely vir
tue of saving everything by the
current American passion for
tossing things out is an outstand
ing impression gained by Dr.
Richard Devine of the University
of Brussels during a tour of duty
here as a research consultant for
a manufacturer of household
electrical appliances.
"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.

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.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIFTEEN
Skin Diving
Sport Growing
New York U.R Skin div
ing is the most rapidly growing
sport, according to a stocky
young advertising company ex
ecutive whose chest expanse
seems adequate enough for a
long underwater stay without
the aid of an aqua-lung. . .
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."
