You and I probably had bur wn troubles all perhaps due to nothing bat the rash on Old Sols physiognomy. Scientists will tell you that sun spots were known by the Chinese before the telescope made them a comparatively familiar subject of astronomical concern. They are not uniform In size or shape and sometimes appear singly, sometimes In groups. A single spot may be large enough to take in our whole planet with room to spare. Groups extend over areas that may include millions of square miles. Sun spots do not appear to have a definite duration. As a rule, they last but a short time, sometimes not more than a day. But one is as having conrecorded (in 1940-41- ) tinued for 18 months. The number e I sun spots varies greatly in a periodicity that is not strictly regular but that reaches an average of slightly over 11 years.

United Nations officials insisted that it was up to the state department to back up the charges with facts. A check on nationalities of U.

From the "iron curtain countries there were 108, but many were appointed before the change of governments put their homelands into the Russian sphere. That Man Again in 1929, September 15 19, The youths CAMPAIGN: Advanced With the kickoff advanced six weeks through President Truman's action in calling congress back into special session, the American people are in for one of the most heated and intensive presidential campaigns in recent history. The whole political calendar has The been advanced this year. Presidents opening message to the recalled congress signaled the initial salvo in the campaign, which will be in full swing until the November balloting. Normally, national candidates wait until after Labor day before disentering into thorough-goincussion of the issues of the camg paign. This years campaign also became more involved with the addi tion of third and fourth parties to the field. Although its ticket of Henry Wallace for president and Glenn Taylor for vice president was in the field month ago, third party adherents followed the Republicans and Demo- crats to Philadelphia for their nominating convention. Rebellious southern Democrats, after walking out on their regular party conclave, gathered in Birmingham, Ala., to enter a fourth party in the field. Heading the states rights ticket are Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina for president and Gov. Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi for vice president. The states rights Democrats have shown their greatest strength in Alabama and Mississippi, where a combined 20 electoral votes are pledged against Mr. Truman.

Almost simultaneously, charges that several hundred foreign agents have used the United Nations to cover subversive activities here were hurled by state department representatives at a senate committee hearing.

Hershey, who will direct the nations first peacetime draft, held the same post during World War IL STRAW: Stack of Money There are potential stacks of money in the stacks of straw which annually go to waste on U.S. farms. Although the paper industry offers a large potential market for the product, farmers last year burned or did not use about 38 million tons of straw, according to department of agriculture estimates. Recent technical advances have made possible a large expansion of the market for straw. It has been found suitable for blending with wood pulp to make fine papers and also can be used in the manufacture of various insulating building-boar- d products. Principal industrial use for straw at present is in making corrugated strawboard, which is used as a liner in cartons and boxes. Some straw also is used for coarse grades of wrapping paper. Research by the department of agriculture laboratory at Peoria, RL, indicates that straw pulp can be substituted for 25 to 40 per cent of the wood pulp now used in fine and specialty papers. The strawboard industry was established in this country around 1900, when wheat was harvested with binders and threshed. Every wheat farm then had its straw stack and the straw could be baled. When the combine harvester came into general use, most of the straw stacks disappeared. Development of pickup balers, however, once again have made straw collection on the farm a practical operation. In normal times, it is estimated, tiie farmer may add 8 to 20 per cent to his cash income from wheat by collecting and selling the straw. WAR: Still Costs The costs of wsr continue long after the battles cease. A grateful Uncle Sam already has expended 8 billion, 223 million dollars to returning veterans during the first four years of the G I. bill of rights. Veterans' administration reports. Accounting for that total were 14 million, 300 thousand "benefits.
