Ocean 'Pastures' to Be Just a Mubbibi Sarrim Cincinnati, Ohio (U.R) Maybe you didn't know it, but that size fellow knocking at your door to ask all those questions for Uncle Sam was nobody but a mubbibi sarrim.

Anyway, that's what they called a census taker about 3,700 years ago in the ancient city of Mari in what is now Syria. Dr. George E. Mendenhall of Wittenberg College, Springfield, Ohio, told the American Oriental Society here. In those days the census was about the same thing as a military draft, Dr.

Mendenhall said. The mubbibi sarrim didn't bother to count the women. The names of the men were written on clay tablets and they went directly to war, Dr. Mendenhall said his translations indicate. Rag Rugs at savings any housewife will appreciate.

Removing Gelatin Mold To remove a molded gelatin dish dip the mold in warm (not hot) water for a few minutes, then invert on a dish, and holding both the dish and the mold together with firm fingers, shake loose. Little Is Known About Plankton, Sea Life's Fodder Special to The Sunday Press Washington Science is getting ready for its most searching look at the mysterious "pastures" of the ocean the drifting meadows of microscopic fodder on which all sea life depends for existence. The National Geographic Society announced yesterday that it would sponsor a broad research program in cooperation with the University of Miami to study these little-known ocean organisms.

The work Is to be on a year around basis in the Atlantic between southern Florida and the Bahamas. It is expected the research will produce important contributions in the field of marine biology, develop data of general value to commercial fisheries in the Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico area, and yield new information on the behavior of the Gulf Stream, which affects the continent of Europe as well as North America. Dr. F. G.

Smith, head of the Marine Laboratory at the University of Miami, 'has been named director of the long-range research program. Under a high-powered misco-scope the sea creatures to be studied in the program present a weird assortment of odd shapes and often delicately beautiful coloring a surrealist menagerie of infinite variety. The scientific name for them is plankton, derived from the Greek word for "wandering." which describes the drifting life of these minute organisms incapable of swimming against a current. A single quart of sea water may contain as many as 100,000 of them. Some are plantlike in character (phytoplankton).

Others are animal-like (zooplankton) and feed on the vegetable plankton. Both, in turn, provide forage for sea life from the smallest of fishes to species of whales who wax to a 70-ton maturity on a few years of such a diet. To the fishes of the sea, large or small, plankton is as indispensable to survival as the grasses and cereals are to the animals which range the land. When plankton pastures dwindle, the fish are fewer. When they are lush, the fish teem.

And when they become too bountiful, they seem to acquire a poisonous Borgia touch, and the fish die. For Monday Only! I Tit Hot dip galvanized pail made for years of long life.
