the mollisons plan flight round world amy admits she and hus band sometimes quarrel while in the air although they want to start on a flight around the world together by the end of august jim and amy mollison are still hunting for a suit able plane amy said in an interview that if they could not get a big machine in time they night make the at tempt in two small planes and keep together m3 mollison went on to explain that they would first fly to australia from england and then across the pacific stopping at fiji and honolulu from san francisco they would ly across the american continent and the make an atlantic flight hack to england covering 27- 000 miles in all i just cannot help doing long distance flights the added looking back over her amazing career of the past few years since she made her solo flight to australia the light around the world that jim and i have planned is not easy because one of the three long hops will be 3100 miles across the paci fic then we must carry sufficient petrol gasoline for 4000 miles and that is equivalent to the weight of 20 men yet it must be carried in a plane built for two becoming mrc confidential amy went on i have been asked whether jim and i quarrel when we are in cne air we do quite often even in the best of regulated households that happens husband and wife cannot both be right and as jim has much more flying experience that- t have i bow to his experience although i often shout you arc wrong and i am right iut there are ways of making it up and it is rather fun after wards for both husband and wife to acknowledge they were in the wrong soviet scientists use method to hasten melting for irrigation how to make iced tea infuse lx heaping teaspoons of selecu black ted in a plot of fresh boiling water after six minutes

only they could be irrigated they would flour ish a few huge rivers cut through them there are the amudnrja and the sir darja for example their volume and flow are determined by the melting of the glaciers in dis tant mountains when the melt is small even irrigated farms dry up back in the 18th century benja min franklin laid white and black cloth on snow to ascertain if color had any effect on the absorption and radiation of heat it had he saw the snow under the black cloth melting faster than the snow under the white this familiar principle the mete orologist shukov would apply to make the glaciers melt more rapidly just blacken them and watch the water tumble down he told the authorities the scientists of the chanshanker observatory made the experiment just how and with what the glaciers are blackened is not revealed on warm days in june and july the melt on a sunny day was increased four and five times and doubled even on cloudy days cambridge mass color is partly chemicals in the human eye this is part of the latest theory of the mystery of color presented today by professor selig hecht of colum bia university to the color confer ence at the massachusetts institute of technology it is known that coneshaped nerve endings in the retina of the eye trans mit light and color sensations to the brain there are believed to be three- kinds of these cones said professor hecht each carries its own type of chem ical one chemical is capable of ab sorbing blue rays one green and the other red the nature of these sup posed chemicals is unknown but they are photosensitive profes sor hecht explained that is light of the right wave length will make each one active hut it is unaffected by other kinds of light in this way one nerve transmits to the brain the sensation of red it is like having professor hecht said redblue and green nerves from the eye to the brain when all three kinds of chemicals are in action the combined colors transmit the sensation of white light mixed in varying proportions the three give the other colors just as a painter mixes his hues from three primary shades this gives the eyes the same prin ciple used in mechanical photoelec tric eyes chemicals sensitive to light are used in three vacuum tube eyes the lightsensitive substances mostly used are the metal caesium silver and oxygen numerous other chemicals mostly metals are known to be sensitive to light ottawa world capital observes the london tret press ottawa is growing up as a world capital following the example of great britain and the united states france is now building its

wootton declared recently that wars continue because we are brought up in the outrageous doc trine that war is a normal function of human society and peace it self merely the interval between wars my

progress at wellesley col lege war she continued is not even nn effective way of satisfy our baser instincts of greed and acqui sition wars continue because we expect them to continue wars do not
