The Division of Forestry and the Conservation Department said the warning was not a criticism of hunters but a reminder that with the start of the seasons yesterday more hunters than other persons would be in the woodlands. Regarding the drought situation, the agencies said, "Nature has conspired to upset the plans of conservation officials."

This, they added, creates a danger of leaf fires on the surface of the ground and "crown fires" through tree tops which "burn faster than a man can run."

Baruch, "aluminum can be used as a cooling member of an engine's cylinder.

BARUCH his visit was about, except that it concerned special weapons.

Baruch fiddled around in his laboratory and came up with a practicable depth bomb. After that, the German pig boats weren't nearly the menace they had been before.

Most o' the time since 1943 Dr. Baruch has been a construction engineer for special weapons with the Air Force.

He invented the thyraton and nortron-type mercury rectifier tubes, and did pioneer work in recording sound on film in the early 1930's.
