Blatier Men For Killings By Owls Naturalist Places Large Share of Responsibility on Humans for Taking Away the Owls' Food Those who are aroused to ang- er by the "murder" of small birds by owls should not place all the blame on the larger birds alone; for man himself must bear a large share of the responsibility. At least, that is the contention of Angus Buchanan, president of the Essex Nature Club, speaking on birds and their habits, at Windsor last week. NATURE'S SYSTEM UPSET Mr. Buchanan pointed out that owls are specially fitted for feed- ing on field mice, rabbits and other small animals. Nature has provided them with soft feathers; so they may swoop down on the keen-eared field mice without being heard. Farmers, however, make an annual practice of wip- ing out these little creatures, and the owl is forced to place robins and blucbirds on his menu. SOME TRAVEL AT NIGHT Certain birds, Mr. Buchanan said, migrate by night and feed © during the day. This is a protec- tion. instinct against predatory birds and the nests of these B¥de will be found in thé most re- mote thickets, Others, robins and bluebirds, fight their way from one place to another, flying by day.

HEALTH TOPICS Pe aaaaaas XS EERE SSS SRE SE DIET AND WORK "Living below the standard of living is not living at all. Living above this level is simple glut- tony," says Dr. 1. Harris, honor- - ary director of the Institute of Research for the Prevention of Disease, Liverpool, England. A manual laborer, he says, might need more than double the food "of an office worker. F.ur to five ounces of meat or cl.eese or three cggs, or 33 ounces of milk, or five to six ounces of fish a day -- no more and no less -- were sufficient, in conjunction withthe other kinds of food us- ually taken. He could guarantee that diet as suitable for maxi- mum fitness in a grown-up per- son. --0- -- SHORTEN LIFE'S SPAN The belief that highly emo- tional persons let their heart in- terfere with their head is an esta- blished medical fact," Dr. Federic Leavitt of the Philadelphia Coun ty hospital declares. "One American in" seven has high blood pressure and one in four, over the age of 53, dies of it, he says. "For years doctors . believed high blood pressure was caused by emotional and nervous disturbances which caused the blood vessels to become tense, "then to shrink and harden."

EPILEPSY HEREDITARY Definite proof that epilepsy is inherited has been obtained through the use of the electro: encephalograph, or brain wave machine, Pérscns suffering trom epilepsy have a charteristic slow brain wave "of large amplitude with a peculiar egg-and-dart out- line, «Tests on 188 parents and chil dren revealed that among the children of epilpetic parents 654 per cent were epleptic, while in a control group of unrelated children only 6 per cent showed this condition. ------ AID TO CANCER STUDY Dr. Henry J. Andrews, presi- dent of the Federation of Natural Sciences of Southern California, believes that co-operation between geological and medical science ul- timately may culminate in the el- imination of cancer. Basis for his prediction, Dr. An- drews says, is the recent appli- cation of the spectograph and polarograph, metallurgical instru- ments. used in rock analysis, in the study of cancer causes. So powerful they can detect the least particle of mineral in the - blood, the instruments now are being used for mineral an- alysis of the blood of well per- sons and persons afflicted .with cancer. _ z= . - By this process doctors may eventually determine what miner- als are missing or deficient in the blood of the cancer victim, and SLOW-BURNING DIXIE: THIS FRAGRANT DIXIE AVERY le] dL [cau el 7 Ye{o[e) thus have a foundation upon' which to devise attacks agdinst _the disease.
