"You're looking much better," his wife assured him, , "The color has coine back to your cheeks," said his son. "You are breathing, easier, Father, his daughter observed, Forain nodded and smiled weakly. "Thank you all," he whispered. "I`m going to tile cured."

Much has been published about radiocobalt - 60, which comes from Canada's Chalk River plant, from Oak Ridge, Tenn., and from Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y. In these es- tablishments natural stable co- balt -59 is sealed in a reactor and bombarded by neutrons 1 or months, When it. is removed . it is radioactive cobalt -60, an istope which has a half-life of 5.3 years but an initial gamma -ray activ- ity far greater than all the ra- dium mined in the last fifty years. Radioactive cobalt -60 has already taken its place in the treatment of cancer. It also has its 'industrial uses. ' Because it is so highly radio- active, cobalt -60 is dangerous. Stanford University keeps its co- balt -60 in a laboratory pool of 5,400 gallons of water, which serves the same purpose as a lead shield. This particular mass of cobalt came from the Brook-• haven National Laboratory on Long Island, N.Y. It took 237 twenty -four-hour days to change natural cobalt into the istope 60. Stanford's cobalt -60 has an ac- tivity of 4,500 curies, which nsetms that as a source of radia- tion it is the equivalent of 4,500 grams (ninety-nine pounds) of radi>un. The radiation emitted could be partly duplicated only by radium worth $80,000,000. At one end of the pool in which the cobalt -60 is kept is a room 6 by 6 by 7 feet. To enter the room a scientist has to use a hatchway with metal rungs and open a 600 -pound lead door,. At Brookhaven, Stanford's five pieces of cobalt -60, weighing ten pounds each, were telescoped to- gether and' placed in a two -ton lead container which was locked in a motor van. It took twelve days for the van to travel 3,000 miles across the continent to the universit,r.

It was a striking instance of the fact that an ancient piece of fur- niture often has an unsuspected secret drawer or panel which may yield a fortune. A Manchester woman who bought a Sheraton bureau for $00 made a great bargain. Two secret drawers in the bureau were shown to her by the broker but she was convinced there were others. , She thoroughly exacnined the bureau and discovered three more secret drawers. In one were bonds of 1899 and 1901 worth $1500; in another a will relating to $4,500. That was in 1923, but as recent- ly as 1942 an old piano at Wig- ston Magna, Leicestershire, was found to contain other notes in addition to those on the key- board. The woman who bought it at an auction found 500 National Savings certificates, $600 in notes and several documents behind the pedals. The pianola had once belonged to a Leicester man. When he died his executors had searched vainly for his papers. Fifty thousand francs in French gold coins fell out of an old stove after it had been sold for about thirty, - five cents in a Paris auction room. As it was be- ing loaded on to a barrow the door of the stove flew open, fol- lowed by a stream of gold. The vendor threatened the purchaser with jail if, he did not hand him the gold, but the police ruled that the purchaser was entitled to the money, How the gold came to be in the stove remains a mystery. Wrapped in a buhdle of queer looking wool and concealed in a secret drawer of an antique desk she bought for $23., a Geelong (Australia) woman found some dull, glassy -looking pebbles. In- quiries showed that the wool was at least 200 years old and of a type never produced in Australia. Then she found that the 'pebbles' were diamonds worth $9,000. As the desk had obviously changed hands many times the woman was declared the legal owner, SALESMANSHIP Behind the necktie counter of a swank Manhattan haberdash- ery, presides a young man who studied originally to be a morti- cian, but found the work too lu- gubrious. "Customers sometimes balk at paying ten to fifteen bucks apiece for a fancy tie," he commented. "I usually calm them by proving statistically that no matter how high prices go, it's still infinitely cheaper to live than to die. Take shaving. Sup- pose it costs you a half dollar or seventy-five cents. Know what a family pays to have a dear de- parted shaved? Five bucks! Some- times even ten! A woolen over- coat sells for a hundred dollars tops, A wood overcoat sells for three hundred bottom — and you know what you can do with those silver handles. A taxi ride to the cemetery rarely exceeds two - fifty. The same trip in a hearse costs ten times as much. The clincher is this: your wife or mother-in-law will tell you all about yourself for nothing, but look what they have to pay a minister to talk about you at some dismal funeral parlor. See what I mean? How about a couple of foulards for Spring? Puritan Brides Mix ried In The Nude .. Our own custom of the bridal pair joining bands in the wed- ding ceremony is carried a stage farther in some countries, At- tending a Portuguese wedding a few years ago in the town of'. Vigo, one watched as white -clad bride and groom had their hands tied together with a fine white ribbon. Many of the apparently aimless little customs we maintain to -day find fuller echoes in other parts, of the world The words and ac- tions have, or had, ancient social or religious' meaning and belief, Or even commercial good sense. Take the phrase "with all worldly goods." Our Puritan forefathers at one time held wed- ding ceremonies in the nude. They were not nudists, but they believed, as did many other peo- ple, that if a man married a girl en chemisette, as it was called, he could not be held liable for any debts she had contracted in pre -marital days. She came to him, in fact, with nothing. So blushing brides were brought to church in their chem- ises, or, oftener still, wholly naked. Did the clergymen ob- ject? Apparently not, for one of them is on record as saying that as there was no ruling on what a bride must wear, he did not think it right to refuse to con- duct the ceremony. In modern marriages among nudists, bride, groom, best man, priest, and guests are all report- ed without so much as a hand- kerchief between them. Not hav- ing seen one, we cannot say whether such a bride is allowed a veil. Yet that trivial few inches of lace we wear once had great significance, The Evil Eye • Sometimes thick material was used to cover the girl from head to foot to protect her from the evil eye. To - day brides in France, Italy, and Bulgaria wear veils of forest lace, beautifully decorated, that hang from their head -wreaths to the knees. These, it is r e p o r t e d, are generally heirlooms handed down through the years. We believe it unlucky for bride and groom to meet before the ceremony. Based on age-old tra- ditions of taboo, this is carried much farther in other countries. The Indian pair are married sep- arately, she in her home and he in his. Later they come together, and the bride is escorted to her hus- band's house while male guests fire arrows into the air to drive away evil spirits. Then both par- ties settle down to feasting for several days. Not only are Far Eastern wed- dings fascinating for the rich robes of the bridal pair, but their customs are curious to western eyes. Malayan couples sit quiet to keep their luck from being broken, and a Tibetan groom rubs his bride's face with but- ter, while Chinese couples kneel before the tablets of the grooms ancestors. An old Russian custom made the bride take off one of her husband's boots, If she was lucky she found a jewel; if un- lucky, she discovered a whip, with which the groom immedi ately-beat her. . An old woman in some places is substituted for the real bride until the actual ceremony, so that the Pates cannot harm the girl beforehand. On Tonga Is- land a veiled woman would ap- pear before the assembly of 'syed- ding guests. Wrapped in a cotton sheet and piven pillow, Onlyhendowny ld. pretendedee man take his bride, also veiled, into his house as his wife, There he would leave her while he went to join the feasting, mu- sic, and dancing. 50,000 MILES GUARANTEED FUEL PUMP FOR ALL FORDS - $4.48 Order Tacitly anti Then Forget About Future Fuel PumpTroubles 11,00 Deposit on All C.O.D.
