First Relic of Man Found in European Sands
A human lower jaw unearthed in the Mauer sands near Heidelberg is described as the earliest unmistakable relic of man in Europe. John M. Tyler links it to the Mindel-Rise interglacial, about two million years old, placing it among the oldest paleolithic remains and suggesting the dawn of the Stone Age.

Paper substitute for glass used in wartime refugee homes
In Lyons France a paper substitute for glass is now produced in large quantities. It was invented during wartime for refugee homes and is valued by truck farmers and horticulturists. The paper admits heat and light as glass does, making it popular for under glass vegetable growing in French districts.
