TKSTS IMH< \TK GKKMS LIVK ON MANY PLANETS BERKELEY. Cal., (UP)—While science as yet has been unable to prove the existence of animal life on the other planets. Dr. Charles B. Lip;,ian, dean of the graduate college of the University of California, has announced that he now has ample evi('ence of the existence at least of bacteria, one of the lower forms of life. Recent laboratory tests, he announces. have demonstrated beyond doubt the presence of bacteria in meteorites that have reached the earth's surface either directly from other planets or from the irterplanetary space between. Dr. Lipman’s finding of these meteorite bacteria is his latest discovery in the bacteriological field, and especially in the field of dormant or sleeping bacteria. Previously he had announced the finding of bacteria in suspended animation in pre-Cambrian
rock, formed 80,000.000 years ago, in pre-Aztec and pre-Inca pyramids, built centuries ago, in old adobe and in coal from deep mines. According to Dr. Lipman’s findings there are many forms of bacteria that go into a dormant or spore state when there is no chance to feed and grow. They are capable, he declares of remaining in this state of suspended animation for an indefinite period of time. Although a number of scentists have challenged Dr. Lipman’s findings of bacteria and spores in meteorites, he has undertaken to dissipate their doubts. To those who declare they have not been able to find such bacteria, he declares that he has found a great variety of them and that proof of this exists in the laboratory of the University of California. To other critics who contend that the sleeping ancteria would be destroyed by tremendous heat when the meteorites rush through the earth’s atmosphere,
THE EAST CHAIR
It would be wonderful if a woman could be her own carpenter, plumber, brick layer and furnace repairer, j wouldn’t it? , We’ve just been through a little i flurry of remodeling.
Mrs. G. told us about the plan of campaign, approach, siege, attack, and final victory when she got her husband to put up a shelf in her I kitchen. She talked, impersonally, for weeks about the convenience of such a shelf. She embellished her remarks with surmises as to the inexpensiveness of the shelf and the ease with which it could be put up. When she was about to give up. there came a rainy day. After a good deal of sighing, floor walking and window drumming, her husband approached the spot in the kitchen where she had.hoped for a shelf. He hummed a tune and assumed the air of having, that instant, had a new and bright idea.

Despite the drouth, they're still growing sizeable com in Kansas as this picture testifies. W B Sullivan, whose farm is located on Cowskin creek near Wichita, is standing beside some stalks which attained a height of more than 10 feet, despite the fact that less than a third of the normal rainfall has fallen this year.
Dr. Lipman points out that the meteorites fall at such speed that they are in the earth's atmosphere only for a period of two or three seconds, Demonstrations have been made, he ados, to show that the heat caused by the friction does not go through ihe stony meteorite but merely sears the surface. His experiments, he declares, also have demonstrated the ability of bacteria in a state of suspended animation to exist with 1.3 degrees of absolute zero which he points out is proof of the ability of the spores to travel through heatless interplanetary space inside of meteorites. The latter, for Dr. Lipman, arc
i 'rarely “sleeping cars’’ for the bacI eiia on their joy ride from other I | laaets to the earth. When they get to ihe earth they are capable of waking up and demonstrating what the bia teria of other planets can uo. Dr. Lipman declares that as soon as the spores are removed from the meteorites they come out of their slate of suspended animation and begin to colonize immediately. * The Answers Correct completions of the current events statements on page two are as follows: 1-A. 2-E. 3 D, 4-C, 5-D, 6-B, 7-E, 8-B, 9-E, 10-D.
Presently he removed his coat, found a board and brackets, that happened for reason to be in plain sight. He called for the hammer, he called for nails, he called for different nails and the stepladder, and the yardstick. He found an extension cord and called for a plug. He called for a bulb. He mounted the ladder and she held the light. The work progressed, but once when the light did not fall at the proper angle, he said, “It does look to me like you might take a little interest in this shelf. It is for you.”

Two weeks later the two men arrived with long iron gadgets and tore the old porch off. They tore the front yard up and stopped just short of tearing the front off the house. The back yard was covered with sand and cement, water was sloshed around, broken boards, last year’s oak leaves, planes, squares, hammers and nails were distributed imparitally. And when things were at their untidiest the men lcf\ They went cheerfully, almost gaily, saying they would come back “one of these days" and finish up.

DAKWIN THEORY IS LINKED WITH LOBE OF ORIENT BERKELEY. Cal. 'UP' The influence of Chinese thought ami culture is what really made possible the Darwinian theory of the origin of man. according to A. H. Rowbotham, assistant professor of French at the University of California. .Rowbotham has just republished his original essay on the subject, entitled “China and the Age of Enlightenment in Europe,” in which he first advanced the theory and which at the time was published only in the Chinese Social and Political Review. According to Rowbotham, up until
the 16th and 17th centuries, & belief in the origin of man purely on the biblical concqi the Great Flood. The religid even scientific thinkers up ti time never dream. ,I of the accounts in the Bible It was in the 16th cent! points out, that Portuguese a first discovered China for !) and produced a flood of in concerning the beauty and n Chinese civilization.

And then wc undertook the apparently simple task of putting a new linoleum rug down on the kitchen floor. Lou might think it could be simply laid in the right direction and unrolled, but there seems to be more to it than that. We tried moving the furniture solo. The way easiest on the back is to “walk” it. That is to get a four cornered article on»o the two corners and hitch it along on this one, then that one. We grappled a small cupboard and made progress until two legs came off.

The table had to go out lying down, but it got jammed in the door and wouldn't go either way for a while. It never did get past the door, By careful but heroic tilting the rug was 'slipped under the front legs of the big cupboard, but it wasn’t straight on the floor. We stepped on a tack that rolled and cut a gash in a conspicious place on the border. Two edges persist in curling and we’ve stumbled twice and taken
