GRASSHOPPERS' DAMAGE WORST IN MANY YEARS Heavy Crop of Pests Next Summer Forecast by U. S. Bureau. ■Coovrlght. 1933 bv Science Service! WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—Grasshopper depredations in the United grates during the past summer were the worst for many years. Dr. W. H. Larrimer of the bureau of entomology. United States department of agriculture, said today in an interview with Science Service. Although the early hatching from their eggs in the soil was slowed down by wet, cold spring weather, subsequent heat and drought operated to the advantage of the 'hoppers, and the damage they caused in late summer more than made up for their delayed start. Even into early October they were reported as still going strong in the northern plains states. Egg-laying for 1933 w r as finished in August, Dr. Larrimer stated, and preliminary cursory examinations gives every indication that 1934 again will be an exceedingly bad grasshopper year, unless unpredictable climatic factors come to the rescue of the farmers. The bureau's annual detailed grasshopper-egg survey now is in progress, and will be completed some time in November. Then it will be possible to make a better estimate of damage to be expected next summer. 48 SPOONS FOUND IN STOMACH OF WOMAN Needle, Pencil, Glass Removed in Operation at Asylum.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY, Secretary American Bridge league 1 BELIEVE the following hand. which I presented in the preceding problem, is one of the outstanding deals of the recent National Masters Individual Tournament at New York. In it, Mr. Howard Schenken made an exceptionally brilliant defensive play. South opened the bidding with one heart. West passed, and North bid two diamonds. South bid three diamonds, and North went to three no trump. East’s opening lead was the seven of clubs which Mr. Schenken, in the west, won with the ace, returning a club. North won with

■ the king. East played the eight spot, holding up his queen and jack. The declarer next led a small diamond and, when East showed out, he w'ent up with the ace in dummy. Mr. Schenken played the six spot. The jack now was led from the dummy. # a • WHICH diamond would you play from the West hand? If you cover with the queen the declarer will refuse to win, so that he may hold the king, nine—over your ten, j eight. Therefore, it looked as if the proper play would be a small diamond, thereby blocking the suit for | the declarer. All North could do then would be to play the seven of diamonds from dummy. When the ten is ! played by West, North would have to win with the king and the balance of the diamonds would be lost. However, Mr. Schenken figured I otherwise. He reasoned that If he did not cover the diamond, the dei clarer w’ould probably lead another I diamond and then start the heart \ suit which Mr. Schenken knew would establish easily as he held no : honor. Therefore, he covered the | jack of diamonds with the queen ! and North allowed him to hold the j trick. j But Mr. Schenken now returned | a spade which knocks out dummy’s ace. The declarer returns the seven of diamonds, but all he can do Is to 1 cash his diamond suit and the ace

J3U Science Service NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—While there is as yet no formal affiliation betweeen the American and British programs for relief of German scholars hampered by the Nazi regime in Germany, it is known here that the American relief efforts are being planned with due regard to the British and continental efforts, the most ambitious of wliich is the raising of a $5,000,000 fund launched in London this week. Dr. Stephen P. Duggan, director of the Institute of International Education, is the secretary of the emergency committee in aid of displaced German scholars which has already succeeded in arranging visiting professorships' or lectureships in this country for many eminent scholars who find it impossible to continue their work in Germany. STUDY MURALS FUTURE Officials Undecided on Permanent Site for Fair Painting. Final disposition of the murals depicting development of Indiana, painted for the Century of Progress by Thomas Benton, will be withheld pending of decision by Colonel Richard Lieber, head of the Indiana world's fair commission. The George Rogers Clark memorial at Vincennes and the World war memorial in Indianapolis will be considered as possible recipients for the paintings, which cost $30,000 and have been appraised as worth $300,000 by an expert at Chicago, according to Governor McNutt. a

SAVANTS TEST RESISTANCE TO COMMON COLD Report That Susceptibility Has No Persistent Frequency. Bjt Science. Service BALTIMORE. Oct. 13.—1f you are one of those unfortunate persons who seems unusually susceptible to colds you may be cheered by the knowledge that such susceptibility does not persist year after year for an indefinite period. On the other hand, neither does resistance to colds persist indefinitely. These seems to be among the findings of the studies on the common cold that Dr, William M. Gafafer, and Dr. James A. Doull, now of Western Reserve University, have been conducting at the Johns Hopkins university here under the John J. Abel fund for research on the common cold. These latest findings have just been reported in a preliminary note to tne scientific journal, Science. The frequency of attacks of colds in the same person for two consecutive years was studied both in medical school students and in members of a group of one hundred Baltimore families. In the medical group the frequency of attacks in the same student for tw’o years with an interval of one year and two years in between was also studied. A tendency for persons to remain cold-resistant or cold-susceptible at least for successive years w'as noted; but w'hen the years observed are separated by one year the results
