Pa.—(U.R) Pennsylvania now has 455,086 licensed dogs in the state, according to a check by the Agriculture Department. Officials estimated thatthere are thousands of dogs unlicensed and pointed out that 3, .153 dog owners had been prosecuted this year for allrtwing their animals to run uncontrolled.

MISSISSIPPIANS BALLOT ON NEW STATE GOVERNOR t,00() Citizens Seek Publice Office In Election Jackson, Miss —(UP)— A fivefoot ballot, listing the names of 7,000 persons seeking public office in Mississippi today engrossed voters and may mean the end of power for Theo Gilmore Bilbo, specta- 1 cular and politically ambitious governor. The ballot named four persons seeking the office which Governor! Bilbo will vacate at the end of 1931. It also carried the names of thousands that seek county and state positions. Primary election campaigns ended last night with a roar of speaking and oratory. None of the candidates used the radio during this campaign, but instead, resorted to soap-box oratory from a farmer's pork barrel. or wagon. Last Frontier In this respect Mississippi is perhaps the last frontier of the oldstyle far inhouse-to-iarmhouse campaigning. Large cities are few and far between. The majority of the voters live in small rural communities. Governor Bilbo, who is serving his second term and is ineligible to sucieed himself, went Into the cam-' f.aign with vigor. He 'Hub I his campaign » night as always, before a couutry crowd | which hailed him as one of the state's greatest men. His style ws simple, yet unique Four years ago he campaigned with a brick and a school book in his tattered valise. The brick, he) said represented loads that he! would build. The school book, he I shouted, represented free text books which he would provide if a public printing office was built. The public printing plant was not built, neither did he succeed in having the legislature pass his big road buildinr appropriatiorj Supported Mitchell So. during the past several months, he has toured the state for George Mitchell, quiet, gray haired attorney general in his cabinet. Mitchell’s opponents are bitter enemies of Governor Bilbo and represent a different faction in the ‘siate democratic party. Representing southern MississipI -pi is Hugh White, a giant physically I who capitalized upon his strength in college by becoming a great foot-; ball player, and now a well-to-do lumberman and mayor of Columbia. | With him in the rate are Mikel I Conner, politician of long exper- | ience, lawyer and one time speak-1 |er of the state house of representatives, and Hall Johnson, former | congressman from Mississippi, who is from Hattiesburg and is recogniz- [ ed as one of the state's most capi able law yers. Bilbo’s Errors I None of the three opponents of I i Mitchell have forgotten to capital-' I ire on errors said to have been! j made by Bilbo and which they i charge are accountable against j Mitchell because he, as a Bilbo cabinet member, did not block them. I The vote in Mississippi is divid- | d into two classifications, the city i vote and the country vote. ■ Governor Bilbo is recognized as | he strongest in the rural districts, | which actually hold the balance of I I power. He has, during the past! month, visited all of the 82 counties ' I’re-elei lion quarrels in many of the counties have occurred and in many today extra precautions were. ; made by police to avoid bloodshed , and fighting. The ballot form is the same that has been used in Mississippi for the . | past half century. Mississippi does j note use voting machines, neither is I the system of voting tabulating expected to be tallied shortly after ' modern or speedy. City returns are! the polls are closed tonight but in the couutry districts the vote tabu-' luting will bo slow coming into the j capital. Canada Pushes U. S. In Gold Production I Washington, — (UP) — Canada I gradually is drawing close to the ' Uniti d States in the race for tho position of second highest gold producing country in the world, reports to the Department of Commet ce have revealed. Final revised Canadian figures forwarded to the Department by Consul Jesse B. Jackson at Fort William. Ontario, indicate that the record output during the past year amounted to 2,012,068 fine ounces, of gold. Gold pioduction in this! country during 1930, according to preliminary figures, amounted to 2, 232.593 fine ounces the second iar-. gest output in the world. The largest gold producing area still centers around the Transvaal, Cape Colony and Natal districts in Africa. Last year 10,716,351 fine 1 ounces were produced in this re--1 pion. According to information from

i Canada, the pronounced activity in j Canadian gold mining and prospectjug has recently been stimulated by | an almost general reduction in commodity prices, combined with the |attitflde in financial circles toward (increasing the world's supply. o \ “Human Pin Cushion” Studied By Experts Lorain, 0., (UP) —Due to an abnormality of his nervous system Walter Easier, known here as a "human pin cushion" can pierce his . face and arms with needles without feeling any pain. Physicians say his is a remarkable case of sensory anasthesia, with the explanation that the uer- | ves which carry the sensations of pain as well as of heat and cold to the brain do not function in his body. But specialists point out he faces a real peril in that he may develop acute indigestion, or appendicitis or some other form of illness in , which pain is the chief warning and his condition might become critical without his having any warning. Rock Island Uses Owne Kansas City Track i Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 6.—(U.R) —For the first time since the Rock ! Island railway entered Kansas | City 54 years ago it recently raov-1 ed a train out on its own trackage. The fr ight train, three-quarters; of a mile long, crawled out of the j local yards to open the new short line to Trenton, Mo., to freight traffic. Passenger cars will not use [the rails until this fall. Behind the: .train in three special cars rode; I mor ? than a score of company of-1 t licials formally inspecting the line. I The Rock Island formerly oper-! ated over Milwaukee line trackage. In acquiring the right of way and | completing the construction, the Rock Island spent $12,000,000 and the Milwaukee $2,500,000. Th? new line parallels the Milwaukee from Birmingham to Polo, Mo., from where it continues directly to Trenton. The line shortened the route to Trenton by nine miles and made possible the hauling of twice the former tonnage because of a grade reduction to a maximum of five per cent. o Rest Yo’setf Sleep gets n lot of puldicity but not half enough praise.—Woman's Home Companion

NEW X-RAY TUBE HAS LONGER LIFE State College, Pa.. Aug 6.—(U.R) Pennsylvania State College sclenI tists are credited with developing a new X-ray tube of unlimited use, i a remarkable contr 1 b ution to i science and medicine. The new tube recently had been ' burning more than 10,000 hours without any signs of giving out. Ordinary X-ray tubes usually last ■ about 450 hours before electronic . action destroys their usefulness. Dr. VV. R. Ham, professor of I physics, ami Dr. Wheeler D. Davey, ' professor of physical chemistry, are credited with the development of tiie new type tube, which is still in the experimental stage. The basic idea of the new tube! developed during a conversation' ■over res< arch work in which Dr. [ Davey related his annoyance in I having X ray tubes crack and break because of the intense heat developed by electrons within the!

scaled glass. Dr. Ham at the same time was studying electronic action as part of an experiment in relativity. They determined that electronic action was the cause of the intense heat which burned out the ordinary tubes. They moved one post of the tube closer to the cathode post, source Os the electron. Success enwned their test. They moved it even closer, to within one-eighth of an meh to the cathode. The ordinary tube margin was one and onequarto- inches.
