Can you imagine a twoounce telephone that you carry clipped to your belt? A pill that gives you more rest from five hours of sleep than you now get from eight? A communications system that transmits odors and heat as well as sounds and pictures? These ideas are almost here. For the future, "scientific dreamers" envision even more amazing advances. And if these predictions strike you as too fantastic, consider whether YOU, had you been an adult in 1900, would have believed that: ?In eight short years, ma chines called "aeroplanes" would be pulling advertising signs through the sky. ?In ten years, a human being in an autocar would hurdle along at 133 miles per hour. ?In 13 years, a radio message would be transmitted, without wires, from Maryland to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. ?In 48 years, a rocket would zip through space at 3,000 miles per hour. ?In 50 years, life expectancy would be increased by 20 years. In spite of all these advances, modern scientists would probably agree that we have barely reache d the threshold of a "miracle age" of science. One reason is the big change in attitude toward scientists. Edison, Bell. Marconi and others were at one time regarded as misguided, even crazy. But today, research is favored with public appreciation and support (record gift to schools and hospitals: $500 million, awarded December 12, 1955 by the Ford Foundation) and the future seems limited only by man's ability to imagine. What can we envision? Cities of gleaming glass and siainiess steel, for one tiling. Already, skyscrapers, store fronts and factories are being sheathed in thin stainless steel "skins". As more and more builders combine the advantages of curtain wall construction . . . better insulation, speedier construction, more available renting space . . . with stainless steel's beauty, indestructibility and low maintenance requirements, the stainless steel curtain wall will be employed for a dazzling variety of decorative and structural functions. both inside and outside the buildings. You'll see it increasingly in countless other applications, too. On the streets of shining new cities, and on the roads leading to them, you'll see it in advanced automobiles. To expedite t r a v e 1 , wheel less cars, which ride on a cushion of air, will become popular.

Air conditioning will not be common, but it will save you money by storing up heat, then using it to cook your food or warm your home. Heat energy may one day be transported from places like Africa to help warm frigid polar regions. Most ama/.ing of all will be the medical advances. Coronary thrombosis m a y be largely thwarted by the development of an operation that will substitute a plastic tube for the coronary artery. The "eye banks" of today will be expanded to include many other parts of the human anatomy. An artificial kidney is already in experimental stage. This stainless steel and plastic device cleans and purifies the blood in a reservoir outside the body while the kidney and liver heal. Radio waves will be adapted to alter certain chromosomes in our bodies, and thereby eliminate many diseases, like diabetes, that are now transmitted bv heredity. The production and distribution of hormone substances will become a $1-billion a year business. When fully developed. hormones mav make it possible for short people to grow taller . . . bald men to grow hair . . . women to lose unwanted face and leg hair. Hut the most fantastic fact about hormones is that they may make it possible for us to age only a fifth as fast as Y THE BEST ? 1 "^Ti * loyee, is shown above operating a Clinton Mills Carding Department. ig in today's markets, we must concentrate all our energy and tr individual jobs.

Sound waves, which will probably see their first home use in waterless dishwashing machines, will be adapted to give the human body a "bath" that removes every speck of soil from the skin and kills the millions of skin bacteria that each of us now tote around. Already some dentists are using sound waves to clean the teeth. For calorie counters, a machine for home use will be available to "do - valorize" foods, removing most of their fattening properties without affecting their taste.
