Th U. S. code, enforcing the

~Run by Atom Power

British Admiralty Announces
It May Experiment.

LONDON.~tThe British admiralty
hinted that it may try to develop an
atom-propelled battleship. In a
statement saying it planned research to maintain the navy~s efficiency it said: e@

~Many lines of inquiry present
themselves. On the defensive side,
the navy has to apply the lessons
learned by its. observers of thé Bikini tests of the atomic bomb, but
the implications of atomic energy
are by no means limited to defensive aspects and may, contrary to
initial reactions, lead to enhancement of naval power in a highly
modified form and with wide offensive and defensive commitments.

~The atomically propelled battleship, for instance, would have no
immediate refueling problems, and
the period for which it could stay at
sea would be limited only by other
and generally less urgent supply
problems, a vital factor if the ship
proved less wulnerable than the
harbor.~~~

The statement. said 24 million dollars Would be spent in eA forms. of
Navy research~ "this Yea

The ministry of ben afihounced
that a school to train youths past 14
for atom work would be opened at
what it called ~the government
atomic energy factory~? at Springin northern England. The
plant, previously known.as a research center, ~~will be used for the
manufacture of uranium metal,~
the announcement said.

Students will be paid while study
after completing chemistry courses.

~Both in the factory operations
and in chemical analytical work the
most stringent medical precautions
will be taken to avoid any hazard to
the health of the workers,~~ the ministry said. ~

Standing Arduous

Standing takes 14 per cent more
energy than sitting, according to the
department of agriculture. For this
reason specialists recommend that
homemakers sit to do all lengthy
jobs located in one place. That
would include such tasks as ironing,
polishing silver, peeling potatoes
and: preparing other vegetables and
fruits. It would also apply te handmixing bread, cake or cookies anc
packing lunches.

Shiny Seat

If your good wool suit develops a
shine on the seat and sleeves, here
are some suggestions from clothing
experts. They say it~s the soil combined with wearing and matting of
the wool fiber that causes the shine.
To remove the soil, sponge with |
cleaning fluid. On some fabrics,
sponging with water containing a
few drops of ammonia or vinegar
may help to brighten the color. And
you ca lift the nap of the wool by
a brisk brushing, or even a fine

sandpapering. ~

Prospects for Solving Them
~Good,~ A.M.A. Told as
Second Century Starts.

CHICAGO.
American Medical association, on
its 100th anniversary, listed seven
major problems that medical science still must solvé.

Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of thd
A.M., Journal, listed these,sevenproblems as the most important
~ones facing the medical profession:

1, Heart disease~more people dia
from it than from any other single
disease.

2. ~ancer~one in every eight per:
sons is likély to become a cancer
victim.

3. Virus diseases ~ including in:
fantile paralysis and the common
cold.

4. Atomic radiations and their
effeet on human beings-and human
tissue.

5. High altitude and speed effects
on pilots.

6. Degenerative diseases of the
nervous system.:

7. Neuropsychiatric probledng
raised ~~~by our ~high-speed, high:
tension environment.~~

Prospects Are Good.

Fishbein said the prospects fot
solving the problems were ~~good.~

He said the progress of medical

scienee~ in the last 50 years wag-~

~greater than in all of the previoug
history of man.~

~Because of the increasing speed
of the acquisition of medical knowly
edge it is possible that we will makd
more progress in the next 50 yearg
than the last,~~ he predicted.

Fishbein said the A.M.A. did not
claim credit for much of the medi~
cal advancement in the last 104
years, but that many aehievements
were wholly ees. to the asso:
~ciation.: -

Gelebrate Conlenntiaa. cn

He cited the A.M.A.~s war on pati
ent medicines, quackery, frauds
and low standards of. professional
ethics as powerful factors in pro
ducing a high quality of medica}
service.

Its service to members of the pro
fession through its publications and
maintenance of professional stand
ards is equal in importance to it,
service to the public, Fishbein ~de
clared.

The A.M.A. was founded May 5
1847, by a handful of delegates t~
the national medical convention in/
