RESIDENTS OF THE 900 block Tecumseh st.— petter known as Tecumseh place—have no landlord publes. They own their homes. Basking in the ade where a cool breeze was blowing the other day W. E. Lemon, of 945, who's spending his two= k ‘vacation from Strauss on hif own front porch, he Lemons wanted to go back to|the Smokies, where they vacationed before the war, but decided traveling, lodging “and eating are too complicated this year. “I told Mr. Lemon that we'd at least have a place to eat and sleep if we stayed home,” Mrs, Lemon told us when we stopped to chat with the stay-at-home vacationers. . . . Another Tecumseh pl. resident with travel worries was Mrs. Leonard Todd, of 927, who' let us share her king-size porch for a while. Her daughter, Mrs. Betty Woolf, is all packed and ready to leave for Vienna, Austria, to join her husband, Lt. Paul Woolf. Mrs. Todd is thrilled but a little worried. “I'm just sorry, though,” she confessed, “that they aren’t taking mothers-in-law over.” Edwin G. Baker, of 921, told us he wasn’t “the woman of ‘the house,” but that he'd chat with us as long as we werén't selling anything. The Technical high, school vocational instructor was presiding over the house while his wife was away yesterday. Mr, Baker is another stay-at-home vacationer—he’s overseeing the remodeling of his home during the summer. He's also -a proud grandfather, after the birth of young Judy to his son-in-law and daughter, Mr, and Mrs. Harold Goodwin, 37 E. St. Clair st.,, Friday. "Mrs. Goodwin is his youngest child and Judy is his first grandchild. .

Lawn Is Like a Carpet

THE MOST LUSCIOUS lawn we've seen in many a day is at 952 Tecumseh pl, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur E. Brown. Mr, Brown, a retired World War memorial guard and a Spanish-American war veteran, devotes most of his time to his velvety bent grass lawn. The grass, the same variety used on golf greens, makes a delicate, carpet-green turf but it’s a task to keep up. The men who complain about grass cutting can sympathize with Mr. Brown, whose lawn has to be watered twice a day, cut with a special mower twice a week and sprinkled with special solutions bi-weekly. Another unique feature of Mr. Brown's home is his disappearing staircase in the basement. Ordinary stairs cut the basement in two, 30 Mr. Brown built a staircase that can be shoved right up into the ceiling, making the cellar one big recreation room. The staircase is weighted, equipped with ropes and balances and a telescoping hand rail, patterned after those Mr. Brown got acquainted with in the navy. . Long-time residents of the block are Mr. and Mrs. "James L. Wikoff, of 928, who were the first to move in and buy a house there. Mr. Wikoff does tax and accounting werk, or “anything dealing with complicated figures,” as his wife de--scribes it. Although he’s a whiz at computing tax and surtax, Mr. Wikoff has to depend on his wife to remember whether they moved to Indianapolis in

‘Patch’ Skating

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, July 24.—Today I'd like to tell you about the Broadmoor hotel's Ice Palace. this vacation land. The Palace is a big, long building with a high arched ceiling, and without a single column to interfere with the skaters or obstruct the view of the spectators. The ice surface is 82 by 185 feet. When we visited it, a large group of skaters, ranging in age from 6 to about 30, was out on the cold, glistening floor. But they weren't whizzing around and around the ‘rink, as you expect. A few were slipping and sliding around with the uncertain strokes of beginners, but most of them were doing difficult whirls with grace and ease. Each confined his activi-} ties to a small area. I asked Vern Turner, the Palace manager, why the skaters didn’t whiz around the rink like I'd*seen them in the movies. “This as a patch session,” he said. “This is a which?” “This is a patch sessign,” he said. “Each skater has his own patch of floor to practice on, and he must stick to it. The patches are 42'2 by 20 feet. You can see the dividing marks on the side walls.”

| Come From Over Country

PARENTS BRING their youn’ champions and would-be champions here from all over the country to receive expert “instruction and improve their technique during the summer. A ticket good for a week costs $10.20, and that gives the holder two one-hour patches a day, and also permits him to skate at the public sessions where there are no limitations as to where he may skate. In that way they can get in six hours of fun and practice; a day. It's a busy place.

Science

WE WERE back in Bikini lagoon shortly after noon on A-day, the day that the first atonric bomb exploded over the target array. The bomb, as you may recall, exploded some seconds after 9 a. m. on July 1 Bikini time. (June 30 back in the United States.) The result was that when I broadcast from our ship, the Appalachian, over the NBC network at 2:30 p. m. on A-day, I was able to begin my broadcast by remarking that we were back inside the lagoon within a few miles of the spot where the bomb went off. T I was a little surprised that we got back into the lagoon so quickly. Xk knew, however, that the radioactivity registered by automatic broadcasts from the drone bomts must have indicated that it was safe for the radiological safety crews to enter the lagoon and that they in turn must have signaled for us to move in. As most readers know, the bomb lets loose a terrific blast of radioactive radiation at the moment of detonation. This was enough to darken X-ray plates exposed on the deck of our ship 20 miles from the blast. with this initial blast of radioactivity is an equal ly intenwe blast of subatomic particles known as neutrons. These create a considerable amount of artificial radioactivity in the substances which they strike, Radionctivity of Ships Obvious FINALLY, the plutonium in the bomb disintegrates into atoms of other chemical elements which are themselves radioactive, These are the so-called radioactive isotopes formed by the nuclear fission of the plutonium. They constitute the lethal atomic cloud that forms after the explosion of the bomb. It was abvious, therefore, that the target ships would be more or less radioactive, depending upon

My Day

NEW YORK, Tuesday.—Talking of Fala yesterday reminded me of a very nice story. One day when I was to be away from home, I sent him to be plucked and have a disinfectant bath. When I went for him, the veterinary told me a couple had driven all the way from Philadelphia to see him. Not finding him at the big house or at the cottage, they went on to the veterinary's, where. they spent half an hour watching him. They left saying that their trip had been entirely .satisfactpry. I think the widespread interest in Fala shows how many people in this country really love animals, and the love of animals is one of the reassuring traits in human nature. If you like animals, you usually like children, and if you are kind to children and animals, you are usually a very decent human being. I think many people were shocked to read about the bomb explosion | in British headquarters in Palestine. I am deeply’ disturbed by the violence which has been Sone on there, since I think the leadership must be in the hands people. - : : violence of this kind kills innocent people, . and enouch innocent people have already digd in this

By HEZE CLARK A $1000 REWARD is still outstanding for the slayer of Hence Orme. * Mr, Orme's death—in a lonely spot at 56th st and Arlington ave. on the night of Nov, 16, 1923, upset the local law enforcement applecart.

More skaters came zipping out to join those on the floor—skaters of all sizes and ages—and the big whirl was on. Around and around they went, veering to the right and tothe left, doing jumps, axels, splits, spins, and “sour cows.” That isn't spelled correctly, but Mr. Turner said that's the way it's pronounced.

the proximity of any given ship to the point where the bomb exploded. This would be due in part to radioactivity induced in the metal of the ships by the neutrons and in part to the deposition of radioactive isotopes on the exposed surfaces. The next question was one of how radioactive the water of tHe lagoon would become. The fact that the bomb exploded in air meant that most of the radioactivity would be dissipated in the air. However, that part of the blast which went directly down was certain to drive a certain amount of radioactive isotopes into the water. On the other hand, the intense heat of the bomb caused the top layer of water to go up in steam so that undoubtedly a considerable portion of this radioactive material went right back into the atmosphere to form part of the atomic bomb cloud.

Anxious to See Land Effect

THE THIRD question in our minds concerned the island of Bikini, which was about” three miles from the center of the target array. As I mentioned previously, a number’ of correspondents expected this island to be devastated, the palm trees burned and blackened, etc. In view of the survey of the damage at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it should have been apparent that Bikini island waghabout a mile beyond the effective range of the bomb and there was no good reason to expect such a result. As soon as the Appalachian got back into the lagoon we tuned in the automatic television transmitters on Bikini island on our television receivers. These showed the palm trees as green as ever and waving in the breeze as usual.

Peaceful solutions in the troubled spots of the world are difficult to arrive at, and require great selfcontrol and great patience, but I think we must strive to encourage the representatives of all nations to exert these rather unusual qualities or we will find ourselves again embroiled in war.
