SEEDLESS WATERMELONS
Dr. C. Y. Wong of ICwantung,
China, has achieved the seedless
watermelon. He worked naphtha-
lene acetic acid, indole butyric
acid, sulfanilamide and colchicine,
all growth -producing substances,
into a salve and with it smeared
the pistils of watermelon flowers.-
• Not all the watermelons pro-
duced were seedless, but there was
always a notable effect. Some-
times the seeds were small, some-
times there wee just bits of seed,
sometimes there were the usual
seeds but without hard coatings.
Dr. Wong found that the seedless
or almost seedless melons, though
of the right size, were not as juicy
as the ordinary kind.
DIAMONDS AND WAR
Diamonds are needed rn the
machine -tool indastry. As a re-
sult tIley figure in Anglo -Russian
trade relations, and this because
the Russian supply is greater
than Russian industry can absorb.
Now that Great Britain, the Un-
ited States and Russia are work-
ing together in an effort to beat
Hitler the demand for diamonds
is met. Stones used to be ship-
ped from Brazil to Europe via
Lisbon by Italian airliners. The
Brazilian supply has been corn-
ered by American- and British
dealers and Axis funds have been
frozen with the result that Ger-
many is getting no more dia-
monds.

"CHERRY"
"Cherry," a cow, is making his-
tory at the British National In-
stitute for Dairying, .A. pellet of
synthetic hormone (diethystilboe-
strol) was planted beneath her
skin, whereupon the fat in her
milk went up 28.6 per cent. It is
still going up, according to the
last report. The hormone is
cheap. It looks as if the proced-
ure will be generally recommend-
ed to dairy farmers to obtain
richer milk for Great Britain.

World's Record
One day within the last month,
no less than 5,931 tons of bulk
grain were discharged from a cer-
tain vessel in the Port of London
between the hours of 8 a.m. and
7 p.m. It will scarcely be disputed
that this was a phenomenal rate
of out -turn, and a record which
has probably never been approach-
ed at any port in any part of the
world.

- HAVE
YOU NEARA?
Recently a Canadian editor was
in a gun plant where extremely
fine tooling operations were being
carried on.
"What are your tolerances on
this job?" be asked a man at a
lathe.
"One five thousandth of an
inch," replied the workman.
The figure conveyed little to
the editor. He asked, "How fine
is that?"
The workman, too, seemed
'„puzzled. He called to his neigh-
bor on the next machine: "Bill,
how. many five thousandths are
there in an inch?”
Rillscratched his head, "Gee,
T don't .know. But there must be
millions of them."

But Cupid was too much for

my money in the bank?"
"But I thought 'You didn't trust
banks," exclaimed her employer.
"No more I do, mum. But it'll
be safer in the bank than in the
