What Science Is Doing WIRE SOUND RECORDER The Armour Research Founda- tion announced recently develop- ment and patenting of a device that records sound on steel wire a* thin as a human hair and may, th foundation laid, revolutionize ' the technique of transcription. , Dr. Harold Vagtborg, directoi of the foundation, affiliated with the Illinois Institute of Technol- , ogy, credited the device chiefly to Marvin Camras, 26-year-old staff assistant physicist. The recorder is about the size , of a large portable radio and an eight-hour continuous recording can be wound on a spool five > inches in diameter and two inches . wide. It records sound magnet- ically and there is no mechanical . change in the wire, which can be demagnetized and used again. Once the recording is made, th* , ioundi can be played back im- mediately without processing. Dr. Vagtborg said the wire would re- tain this recorded sound potential , for years or could be wiped clean instantly by the demagnetizing process. The recorder, he said, can be set to start and stop automatic- ally and needs no attention while running. He said these advant- ages give it limitless practical ap- , plications, such as: In airplanes, microphones plac- ed in the control cabins could pick up all conversations and com- mands. Housed in an asbestos case, the recorder would survive a crash and tell the story of what preceded it. It could record millions of f words of enemy propaganda at government monitoring radio sta- tions and reduce greatly the amount of critical materials used in making standard type records. The storage problem, too, would be minimized. In the home radio, the device could record a daytime program such as a baseball game so that those far away could hear it better. Britain's M.P.'s Make Munitions Two members of Parliament, one of them a primly dressed wo- man, worked side by side with Parliamentary clerks at their ben- ches turning out war materials. It was only part-time work, but both Miss Thelma Cazalet, a Lon- don Conservative, and Arthur Duckworth. Shrewsbury Conserva- tive, said it made them feel they were doing something extra to beat Hitler. Miss Cazalet was filing a small metal bar, while Duckworth was planing a piece of metal. "I think this is the thins; to do," he said. "Any available time should bo utilized. Many of my constituents work in munitions plants and I think it well that I should know how, too." Miss Cazalet, Duckworth and the Parliamentary employees first became interested in munitions work when they discovered an old lathe in the basement of the his- toric building while on fire-watch- ing duty. After a few experiments, they decided turning out war materials was better than playing darts heretofore their principal diver- sion while not watching for fire bombs and asked for addition*! facilities. Holidays Needed Evea In Wartime Rest and Relaxation Neces- sary to Do Efficient Work At a time like this when war production must not b* permitted to lag, some peopl* may say w* should forget all about holidays this summer and stick to our tasks, writes the Kitchener Re- cord. If a person were like a machine that can b* operated 84 hours a day and seven days a week, it might b* wise to fore- go vacations this summer. But there is a limit to what the hu- man body can endure. It re- quires rest and relaxation to do efficient work. Medical men say holidays ar* more necessary thi* year than ever, because of th* pressure) under which most people hav* been working. This view coin- cides with that of the British Government which made a study of the question. Working hours in Britain have been stepped up but summer vacations go on be- cause vacations promote health, and health makes for efficiency. But there is on* vary import- ant point vacationist* should keep in mind this year. Holidays should be planned so that th* greatest benefit is derived from them. Holidays can be spoiled from the start by not using common sense and throwing cautiqp to the winds. Hygeia, published by the American Medical Association, offers some timely advice when it says: "A person unaccustomed to any form of strenuous exer- cise other than strap-hanging in a street car obviously should take exercise in moderate doses." Besides cautioning against ov- er-exercise, Hygeia lists other "Don'ts". Don't spoil your vacation by getting painfully sunburned right at the start. The sun is good, buk should be taken in easy doses. Acquire that tan gradually. On a dull day, don't sit around for hours in a damp bathing suit. Observance of these simple rules will help to make the holi- days enjoyable. Germans Wipe Out Another Czech Town The Czech community of Les- aty in Bohemia has been razed by the Nazis on the accusation that the village hid parachutists in- volved in the slaying of Keinhard Heydrich, "protector" of Bohemia Moravia, it was reported recently in Budapest radio broadcasts heard by a Czech government lis- tener in London. The Vichy French News Service quoted the Prague anouncement as saying all the adult male popu- lation was executed. Lesaty was described as a community of about 100 inhabitants. This was the second village wiped out by the Germans in ven- geance for the death of Heydrich, the Germans havir.g boasted June 10 they had slain the male popu- lation of Lidice, near Prague, sent the women to concentration camps and the children to "educational" institutions. About 350 men faced the firing squads in that village. Every Fifth House In Britain Damaged Harold Beresford Butler, u* British minister to the U.S., *aW last week on arriving in New York by clipper that at l*aai 100,000 livea had been lost in th* United Kingdom during th* war and that every fifth house had been damaged or destroyed by bombs. "W* ar* now hitting baek hard," he said in a statement. Butler, who will head the Brit, ish Information Services in th* United States, succeeding Sir Gar- aid Campbell, said in reply to a question that 58,000 British ser- vicemen were killed or mis*in> since th* war started and 44,000 civilians killed in air raids. He said the defeat in Libya "will be a great disappointment to the British people." He predicted the defeat never- theless would have "no disheart- ening effect" upon the British morale, adding it would instead "only harden it". Modern Etiquette 1. Is it well for a person t* form sudden friendships with peo- ple that one has not known but a very short time? 2. When one is a guest at a small dinner, should one accept a helping of every dish offered? 3. What is the first rule on* should observe in giving a success- ful party? 4. When people persist in talk- ing at the theatre, is it permiss- ible to ask them to stop? 5. What woman should a man seat at the dinner table? 6. Isn't it poor manners to niak* extravagant remarks about a wo- man's new dress, when in a group? ANSWERS 1. It is far better to proceed more cautiously, until one is bet- ter acquainted, before forming a real friendship. An old proverb says: "Beware equally of a sud- den friend and a slow enemy." 2. Yes. We all have our likes and dislikes, but at a small din- ner it is embarrassing to the hos- tess when a guest refuses a dish. One can at least manage a small quantity. 3. To bring together only peo- ple whom the hostess is sure will be congenial. i. Yes, but do so quietly and as pleasantly as possible. If they resent the request or ignore It, speak to the usher. Only the most rude and ill-bred people are guilty of this. 5. Tho woman on his right. (i. Yes. A complementary re- mark can be made privately, but should be avoided when others are present.

Presently Jones remarked that h would bet Smith a pound that h oould go out and kill a lion forth- with. Smith took the bet and sat back to await resultn. About an hour passed, and then a lion put ita head through the tent flap. "Do you know a fellow called Jones?" it asked. "I do," said Smith, backing away. "Ah!" said the lion, "he owei you a pound."

German Birth-Rate Shows An Increase German birth figures for tha last year confirm the evidence ol' previous years that Hitler has at- tained a considerable degree ol success with his campaign to in- crease the birthrate. They show, indeed, .sumo small decline as compared with 1!)40, but the fact remains that lust year's total of 1,528,000 births in the Reich (in- cluding Austria, the Sudetenland nci Danzig) represents an in- crease of over 400,000 on the numbers born in the same terri- tories in the year of Hitler's ad- vent to power.
