Earth Eats ‘Spring Fevarj* Slavs Dawn Its Rstatlsn Whan the sap rises, the crocus •tarts budding and the robin's on the wing, the earth seems to get "owing fever" and slows down its daily rotation just a little. Scientists at the University of Call* fomia’s Scrippa institution of ocean* ography have investigated this phenomenon to determine the cause of the seasonal slow-down. They have found that there is just enough shift in weight due to the rising of the sap in vegetation and to the increase in foliage during the owing to cause the globe to decrease its speed 0.03 milliseconds per day. Atmospheric currents, par* ticularly prevailing westerly winds, contribute 1.5 milliseconds per day loss in speed, and ocean currents are responsible for 0.10 milliseconds per day. There is also evidence that human activity makes a slight contribution to the slow-down. For example, the research shows that if all the automobiles in the United States were driven from Fairbanks, Alaska, to Mexico City at about the same time, the earth's rotation would be affected by .000002 milliseconds per day. Another fact brought out in the study is that these factors seem to affect the earth's velocity more when they occur in the northern hemisphere than when they happen below the equator. Dr. Walter Munk, associate prolessor of geophysics, is in charge of the investigation. Purpose of the study is to see whether it is possible to use accurate astronomic observations in conjunction with the atomic dock as a means of studying the circulation of the atmosphere.

New Schools to Roliovt Veterinarian Shortage A 70 per cent increase in the number of schools of veterinary medicine is expected to relieve the shortage of veterinarians. Prior to World War 11, there were only 10 such schools in the United States, but in recent years seven new ones have been opened in order to meet the growing demand. Graduating classes totaled more than 800 this spring—nearly double the annual average during wartime —and authorities estimate that the 17 schools soon will be graduating nearly 1,000 every year. Five years of college training formerly were required for a degree in veterinary medicine, but the requirement has now been increased to six years. Following state board examinations to obtain licenses to practice, most of the current crop of graduates will locate in rural areas. Much of their work will be devoted to the care of farm animals and to public health service in meat and milk inspection. A large percentage of this group will devote part of their practice to the care of pet animals, with fur-bearers and xoo animals also coming in for a share of Attention.

Lice Lower Profits Lice on laying hens cut deeply Into the profit from the laying flock. Poutry producers do not realise that lice is causing loss of eggs until the egg production takes a big drop. Lice worry the hens and the nervous reaction will cause the egg production to drop. Lice is one of the easier forms ot poultry parasites to control. The producer can treat the roosts with a nicotine sulfate compound just before time for the hens to go to roost This compound will be evaporated by the warmth from the hens and the fumes, going through the feathers, will kill the lice. This treatment should be repeated in 10 to 12 days so that the young lice that have just hatched will be killed. i Blamed far Horse Disease Research men in Georgia have uncovered new evidence that mosquitoes are spreaders of the virus that causes the horse disease known as encephalomyelitis or sleeping sideness. Laboratory tests with mosquitoes trapped at random Ip the state showed that some of them were harboring the virus at this deadly infection. Veterinary medical authorities say this finding re-emphasizes the need for eliminating insect pests on farms where horses and other livestock are kept 'Super’ Cottons "Super” cottons, triple-hybrids that spin into yarns of from 25 to W per cent greater strength than present yarns, may become virtually a new raw material for use in cotton manufacturing. In early experiments, it has been found that some of these cottons spin more easily a*d produce yarns of greater smoothness and uniformity. Some varieties are reported to have luster like certain synthetic materials.

Bees Talk, Fish Swell and Hear, Expert Reports MUNICH, Germany—Bees can talk and fish can smell, a professor at the Zoological Institute of the University at Munich believes. Fish smell food in water, he says. They can hear, too. He told of putting a student in a tank hi an aquarium and having him play the violin. The student didn’t hear it, but the. fish did. "Of course bees do not speak as we do. They have no words. That would be impossible, I think. They speak another way. They waggle," he said.# He explained when a bee locates some nectar, it eats its fill, then wings back to the home colony to spread the word that “soup's on." “By a certain number of waggles per minute," said Professor Kar von Frisch, “it tells the others exactly how far they will have to travel." It also waggles in the direction of the nectar. But getting back to fish, the professor said, there is one species, the knurrhahn, that “almost talks." “The male knurrhahn makes a soft growl," Frisch said. "When he growls that is a signal. The female knurrhahn hears it and comes to him. Then he stops growling.” But most fish are better at hearing, he said. Frisch had phenomenal success with one experiment. He would blow a whistle and then hit a fish on the head with a rod. Pretty soon the fish hid whenever he blew the whistle.

Flagpolt Sitter’s Dream Of Glory Killed by Insults ATLANTA, Ga.-Odell Smith dreamed of riding to glory on a flagpole. That dream, however, has been smashed. Smith learned—by stitting 108 days atop a 60 foot pole—that flagpole sitters aren’t much in demand. The fortune he had expected to make with books, advertising schemes and radio shows amounted to sl3. He didn’t mind the lack of money so much. Smith said, but the insults hurled at him by rowdy customers at the drivein where the pole was erected finally broke his spirit. He returned to earth, 10 days short of breaking the world record.

Ssisntist Plans Record Dive in Pacifie Ocean LOS ANGELES. Calif.—Sometime this summer a man will descend • mile Into the ocean to see the weird creatures that Inhabit the sea at that depth. Last year Otis Barton, Boston scientist, descended 4,500 feet off Santa Cruz island. The lighting system & his steel diving bell tailed and consequently his movie cameras did not record the strange, self-illuminated sea creatures he described by telephone during the perilous dive. This time, however, the lighting will be ocean proof, he said. Powerful bulbs sealed in mineral oil will be attacked to the outside of the 7,000 pound ball which Barton calls a “benthoscope.” After tests he will attempt to dive to 6,000 feet As before, the benthoscope will be lowered by cable from a large barge. The laboratory ship Velero IV of the University of Soutnern California will co-operate in the venture.

Mae Arthur Touch Evident In Kortan War Communiques WASHINGTON, D. C-That MacArthur touch is evident in the Korean war. Relaying to headquarters the text of his communiques and other official announcements, Gen. MacArthur closed out his report with an account about a captured North Korean naval lieutenant The North Korean had been skipper of five motor torpedo boats sunk by an American cruiser. Asked by American Interrogators why he had failed to Are his torpedoes during the attack and had tried to run his boat aground, the lieutenant replied: "The gunfire from the cruiser was so heavy we thought it would be safer on the beach." The Mae Arthur report added: "This is probably the first quotable quote of the war." Twenty-Six Pift In One Utter May be World Record OWENSBORO. Ky.—What may be the world’s record pig litter has been born on the farm of Guy M. Deane. The sow gave birth to 26 pigs—almost three times the number in a normal litter. Twenty-three lived and appeared healthy. The other three were believed to have been accidentally killed by the animal. Biggest problem of the over-size litter was feeding. The sew was able to feed only 12 at a time. To ease the situation. Deane handed over five of the little pigs to two other sows. The 26-pig sew. a spotted Poland China, was bred to a Hampshire boar. It was her fourth Utter. Heretofore her litters had run from tight to 12 pigs. iag Team is having a good season. Last Thursday they beat the test Ballard Team two games. They are fighting the Union Federal Team for first place In the Delaware Major League.

THE SPEEDWAY FLYER

Butler Football News Bulldogs will make their first out-of-state trip when they meet Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, October 28 (Sat.). The Bulldogs, disheartened by their 42-7 defeat at the hands of Miami last Saturday (Oct 21), will be looking for their initial victory over the Redcats since the instigation of of the series in 1947. ' The Redcats pounded out a 28-6 victory last season following subsequent 6-0 triumphs in 1948 and 1947 respectively. Western Reserve, like Butler is having its troubles this season. Unlike the 1949 squad, the Redcats lack the necessary manpower and talent several factors which have been conducive to their poor showing thus far. The Cats have beaten Washington of St Louis, 24-20, while having succumbed before West Virginia (38-13), Colgate (47-6), Ohio University (35-0) and Cincinnati last week (48-6).

Press releases report the squad to be lacking in depth so that the two-platoon system cannot be employed effectively. There are many players who have seen double duty-offense and defense- for nearly 60 minutes every game. Losses via graduation from last year’s fine backfield in All-Con-ference halfback Len Corbin, quarterback Ad Castilla, fullback Nate Corbin, and halfback Tom Murphy have put a crimp in the Redcat offensive punch for 1950. This season’s backs are small and hard-running but lack experience. The two biggest groundgainers to date have been Tom Raffa and Irv Millstein, both sophomores. Dick Luther, who replaced the abled Mike Scarry as varsity coach this fall, has switched his offense so as to fit the material. He ruled out the single-wing and is

now serving his opponents the T-with-a-fl anker. Defensively, Luther has encountered many question marks, especially in his secondary protection. Like Butler’s Tony Hinkle, he has experimented with several combinations all of which have failed to produce satisfactory results. Butler, after having nursed along nine players on the injured list during the week of the Miami game, is expected to be at top strength for the Redcats. That was the greatest number of injuries for a single week since the season began. Hinkle indicated that he will spend this week’s practice sessions making further amends in Butler’s offensive and defensive set-ups. Saturday’s poor showing in both departments prompted this necessary step. Miami’s powerful attact racked up a total of 499 yards against Butler’s defense, while the Bulldogs garnered only 93, including both passing and rushing. As usual, Hinkle made another switch in the offensive lineup. He promoted Mike Livorsi to the regular left halfback post. Livorsi has been used mostly on defense. The Bulldogs will leave Indianapolis by train early Friday morning (Oct. 27) and will, arrive in Cleveland that same afternoon when they will practice’'in Case Stadium.
