Protein Faster
Washington - (Science Serv

device for determining
the protein content of milk
has been developed in Russia.

and spinal fluid, and can est:
ma'e the presence of proteins
In meat and wool.
The small "proteinmeter of
fluorescence" has been built
at the Ail-Union Institute of
Catlle-Breeding by I. Kesunin
and S. Konev, it was reported
In a Soviet monthly magazine.
The device works because
proteins glow under ultravio
let light. This glow, however,
is not visible to human eye
sight because it is in the ultra
violet band of light. A special
glass, called uranic glass,
transforms the ultraviolet lum
inescence into visible light.
The brightness of the lum
inescence is measured with a
ligh:-sensitive electronic "eye''
and converted into a reading
on a sensitive ammeter.
To determine the protein
content of milk, for instance,
the milk is diluted 20 times
and a small sample is taken.
The protein content in milk
with this method may be de
termined to within 0.1 per
cent.

Rockets Exploring
Higher Reaches for
Weather Knowledge
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
Washington - ll'PD - Meteor
ologists have progressed from
kites to satellites in 70 years
of scientific kibitzing on the
weather.
They also have used air
planes, balloon-borne radio
sondes - known to some as
flying saucers, and high-alti
tude rockets.
Kites, used in the latter
part of the 19th and the first
quarter of the 20th century,
carried aloft instruments
which automatically recorded
temperature, pressure, and
humidity.
This system, the weather
bureau says, ''had several
weaknesses." The kites didn't
go high enough, for one thing.
Their average peak altitude
was 10,000 feet.
Airplanes, used for the
same purpose from 1925 to
1937, averaged about 17,000
feet, but this was still too low.
System Pretty Good
Radiosondes, miniature wea
ther stations which transmit
their observations while still
in the air, reach average al
titudes of 75.000 feel, though
some have gone higher than
125,000 feet.
This system is pretty good
for ordinary three dimension
al observations of the kind
needed for regular forecast
ing. But for exploring higher
reaches of the atmosphere the
meteorologists have turned to
rockets capable of carrying
instruments 40 miles into the
sky.
This country has started a

system of simultaneous rocket
shoots to get information on
winds, pressures, and tem
peratures in the upper at
mosphere, and a series of in
ternational rocket firing
weeks will get under way in
September.
Meanwhile, Tiros I has been
broadcasting pictorial infor
mation about what the wea
ther looks like from an alti
tude of 45Q miles, and second
and third generation satel
lites arc being designed for
even more specialized work.
Not Obsolete
Radiosondes have not, how
ever, become obsolete. Twice
to four times dally they go
up from 91 weather bureau
stations in the United States
and on Caribbean and Pacific
Islands, and' from 44 cooper
ative stations elsewhere in
the western hemisphere.
Radiosonde balloons shining
in the sun frequenly have
been reported as flying sau
cers, and parachutes carrying
the instruments back to earth
have occasionally thrown a
scare into imaginative ob
servers. The largest radiosondes
now used by this country are
packaged in a square white
box about 10 inches and five
deep.
Each box has lettered upon
it instructions to the finder to
send it to the radiosonde re
conditioning center, Joliet,
111. This center has recondi
tioned well over 200.000 re
turned radiosondes in 15
years, saving the bureau more
than $2-million.

Emperor To Parade
Washington - OJPIl -The
White House today announced
plans for President Eisen
hower's June 19-23 trip to
Japan and Korea, including a
precedent - breaking parade
with Emperor Hirohito
through the streets of Tokyo.
Associate White House
Press Secretary Ann Wheaton
emphasized that the Japan
Korea schedule was "firm"
when reporters questioned her
about the possibility the Pres
ident might cancel his visit
to Russia on the first leg of
the around-the-world trip.
Other officials said they did
not foresee any change in the
President's pian to visit Rus
sia June 10-19, despite the
U.S. spy plane incident.
Sometimes the finder sends
a letter along with the re
turned radiosonde. One man
mailed a bill for $2 worth of
rifle cartridges "used in
shooting weather object out
of a 100-foot tall pine tree."
"The reason the bill is so
high," he said, "is that our
shooting isn't too good." An
other wrote that when he saw
the radiosonde drifting down
"I thought my time had
come.." He said "All of my
children ran away from
home."
One radiosonde fell in a
grove of trees. The grove
owner cut down seven trees
before he got the right one.
He apologized because the
'chute springs were broken.
Another finder wrote:
"I am sending your radio
back to you. It's no good. I
ain't been able to get a single
station on it. I am sorry I
didn't send the battery too
as it was torn up when I shot
the gadget out of a tree."

Food Supplies
Expected To Be
Same As in 1959
Washington iVPD - Food sup
plies will be about as large
this spring and summer as
they were a year ago.
Retail food prices are ex
pected to rise seasonally in
the near future, but they prob
ably will average close to
those of last year.
Demand for food will re
main strong. !
This was the nation's food'
picture for the next few!
months as seen by economists
writing in the agriculture de
partment's publication, "The
National Food Situation."
Slightly More Meat
The department predicted
consimers will find slightly
more meat than they did in
mid-1959. Plentiful types will
include beef and lamb but not
pork. Pork supplies last sum
mer were unusually large.
More milk and dairy prod
ucts are indicated because
stocks are a little heavier
this year and milk production
is expected to increase slight
ly. Eggs and lard likely will
continue to be less plentiful
than in 1959. but supplies of
chicken and turkey are ex
pected to be somewhat closer
to the 1959 level within a few
months.
Processed fruits and citrus
juices will be in heavier sup
ply during spring and early
summer than a year ago. More
watermelons but few canta
loupes are indicated for the
next few months.
Supplies of deciduous fruits
and vegetables will increase
seasonally as summer ap
proaches, but those of fresh
citrus will decline.
Peach Crop Good
The department said the
condition of trees in south
eastern states during early
spring pointed to ano'.ner
good-sized crop of peaches in
that area.
Potato supplies should in
crease noticeably as mid-1960
approaches.
Supplies of many processed
vegetables will continue less
plentiful than in 1959 until
the 1960 packs come on the
market this summer.
Food fats and oils and
grains for cereals and bakery
products will continue to be
more than adequate to meet
anticipated domestic needs
and exports.

ASH TREES
Globe headed blue ash. frax
inus quadrangulata. is a native
from Michigan to Iowa, south
to North Carolina and Okla
homa. It is widely planted in
the prairie region where it
makes a vigorous growth. The
bark is dark and. when cut,
a resinous exudation appears
which turns blue upon ex
posure to the air, from which
comes its common name, blue
ash.
The twigs are four-angled.
and from this it derives its
Latin name, "quadrangulata."
The leaves are opposite, com
pound with from 5 to 11 leaf
lets on short stems, arranged
along opposite sides of the
main petiole, or leaf stalk.
This is the tree for Third St.,
planted 40 to 50 feet apart.
Flowering ash, fraxinus
ornus, is a native of southern
Europe and western Asia. It is
a small round-headed tree
reaching a height of 20 to 25
feet. The flowers are a white.
greenish color, fragrant, not
orange blossom or spice, but
a mingling of the two, and
borne in dense clusters.
The leaves are opposite.
compound with seven stalked
leaflets, abruptly pointed and
Irregularly toothed. The win
ter buds are gray or brown.
This is a combination street
and home tree that you will ,
always like for its beauty,
fragrance and leathery-like
leaves.
The flowering ash is for

tain ash, sorbus aucuparia. In
Germany this tree is known as
the "Fogelberenbaum" (bird-berry-tree).
This tree is indig
enous from Europe to western
Asia. It grows with symmetri
cal, round-topped crown. The
winter buds are wooley but
not gummy. The compound
leaves have 9 to 15 leaflets,
oblong, one to two inches long.
hairy when young, but smooth
and gray when mature.
The young twigs are hairy
and later turn grayish-brown.
The fruit is in clusters of scar
let-orange berries from July
to winter, great attraction for
birds, especially when other;
food is covered with snow.
This tree will grow in about'
any kind of soil. j
The mountain ash is for
10th st. 50 to 60 feet apart.
There are about 40 species
of ash, widely distributed, a
few representatives in the
high mountains nf Java and
the West Indies. There are 21
species native in the United
States. A few ash trees are
about town. They are quite
easily recognized by the wing
ed fruit, a samara 1 to lVi
inches long, resembling In out
line the blade of a canoe
paddle. The ash, maple and certain
dogwood species are the only
native eastern America trees
which have their leaves and
winter buds arranged in op
posite pairs. This and the
compound leaf make It easy
to Identify the ash group.
