of probing the well-covered sub-
stance of the •earth itself will
turn Out to be richly rewarding.

Measuring the tremors of the
earth's shell in their attempt to
infer what lies far beneath it,
By measuring seismic waves
simultaneously at dif f e r en t
points, they hope to be able to
piece together a more compre-
hensive, picture of how they
ricochet around and through
the symmetrical layers of the
earth—its thin outer crust, rock-
like mantle, molten-irpn outer
core, and solid center.
Some are studying the so-
called Long Period waves, which
ease themselves neatly through
the earth's hot insides, and, indi-
cate by their changes in velocity
what kind of substance they pass
through. Others are concerned
with Lg waves whcih can be
transmitted only by the outer
crusts of continents. These give
seismologists a picture of where
crusts begin and end in ocean
basins.
Unfortunately, working with
earthquake data is a chancy
business, since the exact time
and place of the tremor are rare-
ly known. Using the data intro-
duces a bewildering series of
unknowns into the complex
mathematics of seismology. To
supplement the earth's unpre-
dictable trembling—some 1 mil-
lion earthquakes a year take
place—IGY experts are manu-
facturing their own seismic
waves with explosives and re-
cording atomic-bomb blasts (last
summer's underground A-Bomb
test in Nevada was announced to
seismologists in advance, giving
them time to set up recording
instruments).
Though mere sputters com-
pared with a full-fledged earth-
quake, man-made blasts are
handy for solving specific prob-
lems, such as the controversy

THE OLD WALL GAME—Striped and ready for battle, the Collegers stride onto the field at Eton,
England's famed public school, for the annual "wall game", played on St. Andrew's Day.
Their opponents are called the Oppidans. No goal was scored and this was in keeping with
tradition because there hasn't been a goal sin ce 1909. Object of the game is to work a ball
along a wall on the campus into one of two g oafs, which are known as "goof calx" and "bad
calx". No one knows why they are called th is, but then the wall game is a mystfying affair.

Making Of A Movie
In the 15 months that "Peyton
Place" has been in print, 4.5
million copies have been pub-
lished in hardback and paper-
bound editions. It is a startling
statistic, particularly when corn-
pared with Margaret Mitchell's
"Gone With the Wind", which
has needed 21 years to sell
5,435,000 . Apparently one out
of every 37 Americans has
bought "Peyton Place" or is
waiting for his ordered copy.
Mrs. Metalius has thus far tak-
en $250,000 in royalteis. For the
movie rights, however, she was
paid only $70,000. The reason
for this is that Twentieth Cen-
tury-Fox was the only studio
which would touch the book, and
then only after considerable ex-
purgation.
"When
v
(producer) Jerry Wald
sent me the book in Europe last
year," Mark Robson, the director,
admitted recently, "I threw it
away without even answering
him. Much later, Wald gave me
a script that changed the book's
sensationalism into good, natur-
alistic drama and did a superla-
tive job of integration. Only be-
cause of this, I took the job.
When time came to go on loca-
tion, Camden ((population:
3,700) was the only town in the
Northeast to extend a cordial in-
vitation to the production unit.
Gilmanton, N.H., where Mrs.
Metalius wrote the book, near-
by Laconia, where she later
moved after separating from her
schoolteacher h u s b a n d, and
Woodstock, Vt., considered by
the Hollywood people as the
most typical New England town
in existence, had all been under
consideration. But each com-
munity has had enough of "Pey-
ton Place" as soon as it was
published and was loath to co-
operate.
Mrs. Metalius herself had
nothing to do with the produc-
tion. "She had no sympathy at
all with the countless problems
of converting her story," Wald
said last month. "At least half
of the book had to be dropped.
The way she kept carping, it
sounded as if she wanted us to
do a 15-hour film."
Last week, she was back in
Gilmanton at work on her sec-
ond novel, "The Tight White

anatomical considerations are
dubious. The noise and excite-
ment would distress the 'neigh-
borhood, and an auditor might
presume great woe and damage
were being inflicted. But the

be in danger.

The judge was not being just
a judge—he was becoming a
moralist and philosopher, and a
student of the truth. Something
of a sensation must have de-
veloped among the barristers and
soilcitors when he asked, "Did
she hit you?" Takee aback by
this unusual trend of thought,
the husband bumbled that she
did riot, and the case collapsed,
I'm glad, "If she ever hits you,"
the judge implied, "come back."
Of course, we should also pon• -
der on the reciprocal tendency
of human nature. A wife who,
in rage, began tossing teacups
at her husband might not always
tell about it afterward, ands such
is retaliation that a few soup
plates would come hurtling back
with masculine accuracy. I hate
to dwell on this sad eventuality,
but 'we must be honest with the
chances. It might be that the
husband, instead of seeking a
divorce, would be pleading self-
defense.

'cu can enjoy for a IOU
any plants you receive, whether
rnonstera, ivy, philodendron or
African violet, peperomia,
age or rubber plant, provided
you keep them happy.
TO do this you require a solu-
ble plant food in liquid or tablet
term, a quart or gallon jar and
measuring spoons for measuring
this food, an aerosol insecticide
and plant leaf cleaner, a camel
hair brush for dusting, and a
sharp knife.
Most house plants are temper-
ate organisms. You must- keep
them away from hot radiators
and from draughty windows and
doors. If necessary, insulate the
plants on your window sills from
-frost at night with several layers
of newspaper. Yoh will find that
the best temperature range for
most plants is from 55 degrees
to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, al-
though 70 degrees Fahrenheit is
also safe.
Your plants require light to
manufacture food, so give them
as much light as possible, shad-
ing them only in summer froilt a
hot west or south sun, Some
plants need less light than others,
however, so shade them slightly
if they start to look pale or
burned.
Your plants will not require
food until about three months
after Christmas. Use soluble
plant food only, and make up
a fresh batch each time, follow-
ing your directions, closely. You
should feed them twice a month
during the spring and fall when
growth is vigorous, and once a
month during winter when it is
not.
Inspect your plants often for
insects and spray them with an
aerosol plant spray at the first
sign of damage. Remember to
choose the spray specially de-
signed for your particular plants,
and to read your directions care-
fully.
You should Water your plants
once a week- by immersing the
pots in a sink filled with warm
water. Allow the water to come
over the top of the pots and let
them soak for five minutes. Then
allow them to drain for an --
hour. •
To remove dust from your
hairy-leaved plants, you require
a camel hair. brush. You can use
a leaf cleaner on your foliage
plants, but be sure to water the
plants well an hour or so be-
fore using it. So that you make "
no mistake, look at the directions
for the list of plants that should
not be cleaned with the pre-
paration. The take care that
none of the cleaner gets on the
bottom of the leaves. If the
leaves are very dusty, spray the
whole plants gently and let them
dry in the shade to avoid sun
spots.
When you remove broken
leaves or branches or yellbwed
foliage, use a sharp knife. Make
a clean cut just above the place
where the leaf joins the stern
so that it will not show. And.-

A bewigged British judge has
just touched my distant and
bucolic heart with the Solomonic
,decision that a wife is not cruel
if she throws dishes at her hus-
band. If she hits him, that's
cruelty. A hit husband and you're
out. But just to throw them—
that's not significent in a divorce
action; and in this particular
case he refused to grant a decree.
A judge has to keep his wits
crust. Recent findings in the
Rockies suggest that mountains
don't float on the mantle—they
sit on top of the crust. To gather
further evidence, an IGY team
is now in South America prob-
ing the Andes, and a similar
group in Western Canada will
ilsten in next summer when one
of the world's largest nonatcmic
explosions will blast away Rip-
ple Rock, a navigational hazard
in a channel between Vancouver
Island and the British Columbia
mainland.
On 'the Antarctic, a virtually
unknown land, scientists on the
many traverses now in progress
detonate explosions every other
day. By measuring the amount—
of time it takes the seismic
wave to return they can measure
the depth of the ice, and discover
what lies beneath it—rock or
water. For those who feel that
Antarctica is merely a string of
islands covered with a thick
blanket of ice, one possibly sig-
nificant finding emerged last
week: The Rev. Daniel Linehan,
a Jesuit sesimologist at the
South Pole's Operation Deep
Freeze, found solid rock under
8,297 feet of ice and snow. A top
layer of snow and ice hog 77 feet
thick, he found,
Not' the least of the seis-
mologists' job will be to find
whether earthquakes can be pre-
dicted. The earth's crust, under
conerant tension, is thought to
have a strain "budget". When
the strain accumulates to a now
unknown level, trouble begins.
In key unstable areas around
the globe, the IGY seismologists
are trying to measure this
breaking point.

sharp, and this one is out ,to a,
fine point. I have often wonder-
ed about these dish-throwing
wives. Never, in by observant
career, have I known, firsthand,
of a wife who tossed crockery
at her husband. It is an athletic
diversion I believe is limited to
comic strips.
It is like the rolling pin, with
which the happy bride sits at
the front portal and awaits the
early morning homecoming of
her mate. No doubt a man has,
somewhere, been hit with a roll-
ing pin—because a man, some-
where, has been hit by about
everything — but it is not an
everyday happening in the nor-
mal conjugal arrangement.
My notion is that dish-throw-
ing is a trumped-up euphemism,
and that both sides agree to
argue, on that basis rather than
tell what really happened. A
bride will, by the urgency of her
desires, willingly accept the ac-
cusation and merely say "Good
riddance!" The ,decree, is con-
sidered well worth the name,
A judge who then raises the
question of accuracy is intruding
into the law of a new note, and
one we should contemplate with
open mind.
I don't think the woman threw
dishes at all. I' think that out
of my personal observation of
those women the periphery af-
fords me for study, all of whom
indicate a dish is, by its crockery
nature, an item of intrinsic worth,
to be treasured up—never flung
in anger. Dishes may be broken
by accident, and frequently are,
hut such accidental destruction
is Acompanl‘ad each time by sen-
tf,nental regret. To jeopardize
the oneness of crockery by a
free-for-all is against the grain.
Several times I've gone to the
frivolous expense of new dishes.
I see some I like, and bring them
home. I remember we started
with some cherubs rampant on
rose trellises, and after that a
stagecoach with lovebird. Once
there was a mismatched pastel
set, so, if you got a blue cup on
a blue saucer it was wrong. One
set was ivorylike, Right now
we have a yoke of oxen breaking
ground before, a red farmhouse,
Well, each of these sets, as it
was replaced, became wonderful
weapon material, and could have
been thrown at a husband. We
were never going to use them
again. They were not expensive
or old, and posterity would never
treasure- them. But carefully,
lovingly, each old dish was wrap-
ped in paper, stowed in a box,
and carried to the barn attic
forever, There they are now.
And how many times hassome

I mend it so it can sit on a boiik-

body knows it is broken. "Oh,
how did you break your little

recited, but never-never has it
been suggested that she hove it
