: 1 devices which can be called a com-| Ylete success. The first de-therma-dizer consisted of a regular flight] timer connected to a control surface «(usually the rudder) The timer) was set to operate after the ship had been in the air for 15 or 20] minutes | After that, the timer released a pin’ which let a rubber band pull «the rudder far te one side. This put the ship in a sharp circle. It “soon would fly out of the thermal and descend in a steep spiral ready for another flight 3 Device Had Merit : Such a device had a lot of merit gince national and lecal competitions are judged on the average time for three flights instead of the one dight of longest duration.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
AUSTRALIA BLOCKS WAR CABINET PLAN
CANBERRA, Australia, Aug. 21 (U. P.).—A cabinet plan to send Prime Minister Robert Gordon Menzies to Landon to sit in the British war cabinet, on the ground that the Far Eastern situation might explode at any moment and Australian representation was urgently important, was upset today when the Labor party refused to approve it. The Labor party did agree, however, that Australia should be represented in the war cabinet and left it up to Menzies whether to resign the prime ministry and take the post or to remain here and send another man. Menzies had wanted to go to London as prime minister, traveling via the United States so he could confer with President Roosevelt.
Tragedy of Clean Desk Top: A Sad Story
By JOE COLLIER
For maybe 20 years the desk of the Indiana State Entomologist has been full of dead foliage, bottles of bugs. test tubes of worms, boxes of insects, assorted microscopes, flagons of strange chemicals, and once in a while a live beetle of heroic fierceness. . Over #he years the evolution was gradual, * with maybe a praying mantis giving way te a-mess of bean weevils, or a 1921 flower catalogue might have been displaced, in 1939, by a cask of guppies. But in general, the evolution has been slow and there has been a rather nice balance, copied after the balance of nature and about as gentle.
All of this time Frank N. Wallace presided over this desk as entomolo-
gist, watched the slow processes of nature take place on his desk top, and practically forbid anyone to disturb things.
Once in a while, but not often, the ladies who kept other desks in the department spotless and dustless, dared t6 move a branch an inch or so, but they usually just passed it up completely. Then came a change of administration—the first in many years to affect Mr. Wallace's status—and he was made acting head of the whole department. When a man gets to head the conservation department he inherits a large office, and two clean desks. Mr. Wallace was aghast when he realized the slick, clean desks were his. And he was nearly frantic when it was ruled that he'd have to work from them. He went to Brown County on week-ends and brooded. At first he thought of bringing
over his desk wilderness, but that was ruled out. So Mr. Wallace, nervous and squirmy, worked off the clean desks until last week-end, when his successor took over, Mr. Wallace proclaimed to one and all that he was glad to get back
to his own desk, where things made some sense and there was something
to work with. But in his absence. the worst had happened. His beloved wilderness had been drained, like the Kankakee swamp was years ago. The desk was scalped., looted of every living thing, cleared of its last branch, freed of its last praying mantis, drained of its last flagon of curious chemical. Mr. Wallace is mooning around and speculating over where his personal flora and fauna have gone and how long it will take to get a new desk evolution started.

FRENCH RAILROAD ° SABOTAGE RAPPED
VICHY, France, Aug. 21 (U. P)), —The Secretary of State for Communications, Jean Berthelot, appeals to railway men by radio today to help prevent Communists from wrecking trains. He was instructed by Marshal Henri Philippe Petain to appeal to the railway men’s “loyalty ard dis= cipline” to offset a destructive cam=paign of transport sabotage extending throughout unoccupied and occupied France. The saboteurs were said to have been especially active in Occupied France and it was recalled that the prefect of Paris police, Admiral Bard, recently had offered a reward of 1,000,000 francs (normally ahout 2 cents a franc) for information leading to the arrest of the Communists blamed for a whole series of train wrecks in the busy Paris region.
