L. Colmar, biochemist at the Florida agricultural experiment experi-ment station, read a paper at a conference on the use of radioactive radio-active materials in agricultural research. It has long been known that unless cattle get a minute amount of cobalt in their food they will not grow properly, but the reason7 rea-son7 has never been learned, Co- mar said. Scientists believe they could find out why the trace of cobalt is necessary u tney couia una out where it goes in the steer's body. . - Findina a fraction of an ounce ol a Chemical in the body of a ,000-pound steer was almost im possible by . ordinary analytical methods, even for a chemist. But use of ah atomic by-products seems to have solved the problem, prob-lem, Comar reported. Now the research .men have used radioactive cobalt made in an atomic oven to find out where the chemical goes in the animal. Radioactive cobalt 4s lust like ordinary cobalt except that it is easier lo find in the body of a Dig animai. Methods have "been developed. Comar explained, so that even the smallest part of an ounce, distributed dis-tributed over a cow's body, can be found in the liver and other organs of the animal. In another paper today Dr. G. Harold Copp of the University of California told how other radio active chemicals produced in atomic piles can be used in "tra cer studies" in other animal. Dr. Comar's report was the final paper read at the three-day conference at Alabama Polytech nic institute on tne use ox radioactive radio-active Isotopes in agricultural re search.

Tne raises ranged from 50 per cent for privates down to 10 per cent for generals. In June, 1842, the pay of a pri vate was raised from $30 to $50 and there were corresponding increases up through the enlisted ranks. There was a cost of living raise for the armed services in 1920 but it was revoked in 1022. The last permanent raise was a blanket 20 per ctnt raise for officers of-ficers and enlisted men in 1908. -Army enlistments have fallen off steadily for the past year and the army is approximately 100,-000 100,-000 men below authorized strength.
