ScihncelW . Topics hjE ‘Haste Makes Waste’ for impatient drivers trying to hurry through heavy traffic. Evidence supporting the adage has been compiled by a New York University engineer. Continuous, stakdy driving, even at a relati^ly slow speed, is likely to get yeu to your destination faster#- as well as safer - than sp>ts of speed puctuated by irritating and dangerous stops and starts. The conclusion is based on . traffic data obtained at a New York bridge and tunnel and on a Detroit expressway. An extract from the fruit, bark and wood of a Chinese tree will be studied as a possible an-ti-tumor agent. The substance is called “camptothecin” and has shown anti-tumor activitiy in laboratory tests on animals implanted with a type of leukemia called Lymphoid Leukemia L--1210, says Dr. Monroe E. Wall. The only known source for the extract is the tree Camtotheca acuminta, a native of China.

inders in nature. By describing a sleeping bird as a sphere, a fb ing bird as a sphere-and-cyl-inder, and a leaf as a flat say they can calculate the energy loss or heat - transfer of plants, animals and birds. The method is called “thermal modeling” and makes use of engi- . neering principles that describe , heat transfer through inorganic materials. Physicists at Columbia University and the State University of New York have discovr ered away to determine wheth- , era particle or body anywhere in the universe fs positively or negatively charged. They—found _ that in the decay of a certain neutral nuclear particle, the eta. , meson, emerging positive particles travel away from the decay site faster than negative particles. About 95.0UU cuoic miles of water goes into the air annually, estimates the U. S. Geological Survey. The greatest part - about 80,000 cubic miles - rises from the oceans. The rest is drawn from the land: evaporated of flakes, streams and moist soil and transpired from the leaf surfaces of living plants. The total process is called “evapotranpiration.” Want a whiter white? Use blue. Blue not only makes white pigments whiter, reports the Holland-Suco Color Company, Huitington, W. Va., but it also makes black blacker. Objects as small as one meter, are expected to be delineated by photographs obtained by five Lunar Orbiter spacecraft. Topotations of these .photos are prerequisites to the Apollo program and to systematic lunar research, reports the Interior Department’s Astrogeology branch. About 10,240 square kilometers of the moon’s surface will be photographed. (That’s about 4,000 square miles, equivalent to about half the area of New Jersey.) Wrought iron piping is finding increasing use in industry for mildly corrosive services. It is widely employed, says Tube Turns, Louisville, in a variety of processing applications such as drainage lines in highway and bridge construction; in water supply lines and sewage treatment plants and in air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems. Cape Cod, New England's famous sandbar peninsula, a relatively young offspring of the last ice age, has lost a two-mile-wide strip of land because of erosion by ocean waves. The U. S. Geological Survey estimates that at the present rate of erosion the outer Cape will disappear in 4,000 to 5,000 years. A new high-expansion foam agent for fighting many types of fires, including gasoline and oil blazes, has been Introduced by Amerace Corporation’s Penetone

Chemical division. The product is non-hazardous to people and, in tests, men have walked through the foam without protective masks. The effect of magnesium in the diets of adolescent boys will be studied under a four-year U.S. Department of Agriculture contract awarded to the Universities Previous research with human volunteers and animals indicates that males have a greater need for magnesium than females and that as more protein is added to the diet, the body’s need for magnesium increases. The mineral is needed to activate many of the enzymes involved in major metabolic processes. Sewage effluent sprayed on crops and trees during three years of research at the Pennsylvania State University, has increased yields as much as 300 per cent with no harmful side effects. The world’s largest horse weighed nearly 3,000 pounds and stood seven feet tall at the shoulders. The enormous equine, a Percheron, measured 16 feet from nose to tail. It died in St. Louis in 1919 at the age of 17. Parade Starts Day Dedicated To Farmers Color, action, and music will be featured in the annual Farmers Day Parade, scheduled as a -free Grandstand attraction at the, 1966 Indiana State Fair, on Tuesday, August 30. This huge spectacle combines colorful floats, marching bands, and the antics of pigs, pups and other animals in a crowd pleasing parade of pets. The theme of the parade is “150 Years of Agricultural Progress” which ties in with the Sesquicentennial celebration this year and will be utilized by float builders in preparing their moving displays. Entry deadline for floats, bands, and pet parade is August 16. County, township and community rural organizations will compete to make their floats the cleverest and at the same time the prettiest. Bands will don clean spats and shining shakos to make their uniforms more attractive when marching 120 yards in front of those critical judges. Pets get an extra bath and brushing for the pet parade during which theii child-owners will try anything to draw the applause from the proud parents and friends in the audience. On hand as the parade “voice” will be Indiana’s Commissioner
