i: Football Terms If You Wast to Be Able to En- joy A Good Game, You Should Know What Some of The Terms Mean For those people who like going to football games, even though the amount of their linowledge of the game Is rather vague and slietcby, the following pointers by Joan Dur- ham may be a help in following the came with even keener enjoyment. There are three chtef ways of scoring â€" the touchdown, the field goal and the extra point. The touchdown is made when a player carries the ball or receives a pass across the goal line. It counts five. After making a touchdown, a team gets one try to score an extra point, which counts one. The point Is made by kicking the ball over the crossbar, by carrying the ball ever the goal line, or by catching a forward pass over the goal line.

Water Erosion Destroys Soil Evidences of Destruction Are Seen On Nearly Every Culti- vated Sitting Land in Can- ada While the extent of the damage done to cnltivated soils in Canada by water erosion is not as yet suf- ficiently apparent to arouse pub- lic opinion, there Is clear evidence that a considerable amoont of dam- age has been done by this agency of destruction states Dr. A. Leahey, Division of Field Husbandry, Cen- tral Experimental Farm. "It is not exaggerating the case to state that on nearly all sloping cultivated land In this country, soil erosion by water has taken place. In some dis- tricts the appearance of yellow clay or gravel spots, the stunted and sparse vegetation on the knolls, the occasional presence of gullies, are anmlstakable evidences of its de- stmctire presence. ''The common farm practice of cultiyating and seeding land up and down the slope, is one of the lead- ing causes of soil erosion b? water. Therefore, the first step that should be taken in controlling or prventing washing away of the soil la to avoid this practice by culti- Tating the crops across the slope, or on the contour of the land. Tropical fruits are being grown in Iceland by utilizing the hot springs.

Mystery McnsEer The skeleton of a "mystery" Arctic monster has been found west of Jameson Land, in East Greenland, by a Danish Arctic Expedition. It is well preserved, anj is evi- dently that of a mammal of ti;..- same period as the dinosaur, the prehistoric reptile. Remains of dinosaurs have been found widely distributed over both the Old and the New World. This latest discovery should throw fresh light on the emergence of mammals and on the vague bor- der-line between mammals and reptiles. What Science * Is Doing * CALCIUM DIET FOR LONG LIFE A new secret of long life â€" that it depends partly on the calcium your ancestors ate â€" was an- nounced to the U. S. .\cademy of Sciences last week. If a family is fed a rich calcium diet, the re- sults add up in the second and later generations. The amount of calcium in the descendants is increased. They live longer. JAWS AND DEAFNESS The -American Society for the Hard of Hearing learned last week that many cases of deafness are caused by abnormal relations be- tween the jaws.

The hypodermic is an anaesthe- tic causing "nerve block," a form of anaesthesia often used in surg- ery to render a portion of the body insensible to pain. This sort of nerve block frees narcotic addicts during their first few days of abstention from the nervous shock, excitement and mental upsets that accompany withdrawal of morphine. WHEN ATOMS EXPLODE The extent to which we are af- fected by powerful unseen forces is indicated by studies made on the cosmic rays at the University of Manchester, England. They have detected atomic explosions which spread their debris over a span of fifteen feet, and there are indications that the effects cover greater areas. They estimate that the total energy release in one of the atomic explosions observed reached as high as 10.000,000,000,- 000,000 electron volts. EYES, ELECTRIC BATTERIES Human eyes are powerful elec- tric batteries. This discovery, showng that each eyeball is an in- dependent battery, was announc- ed last week by a Yale University psychologist. Each eye produces a current averaging 1-1,000-volt, an electrical energy equal to that cf the heart beats which make the recordings of electrocardiographs. Numerous eyes. Di-. Miles found, average 1-4 00th volt; one gave 2-100 volt. \tRINGS INSTANT EASI from -« v\»*^ n>. Al.l-IMyi WA.STKIJ A<;K.VTSâ€" .-^El-l. ME.N-S NEi.-KTlES. 14U^'<7 profli.

The settlement that is called Boys Town, is the flr«am come true of Father Flanagan (Spencer Tracy). A refuge for homeless boys, it is run like a €lty, with a Mayor elected from among the lads themselves. One day, Joe Marsh, notorious gangster, •ends for Father Flanagan. He has a brother, Whitey (Mickey Rooney) whom he wants taken teto Boys Town and brought «p properly. *Money doe$nU grow on trees. Father.^ Father Flanagan is on his way to Whitey's hang- out when he runs into his good friend, David Morris Olenry Hull) the man who has helped him finance the home. Morris warns Father Flanagan that un- less some donations come in very soon, the whole project will fail. But Father Flanagan doesn't worry. The settlement has flourished since it was started and somehow, he will keep it going. ♦♦Slop being a kid, Whitey.'' Entering the boarding-house room where Whitey lives. Father Flanagan looks at the occupants in grim despair. They are all "toughies," smoking. playing cards and cursing heartily. The encounter with White> is harsh but brief. Father Flanagan is forced to take him by the scruff of the neck and knock some sense into him. Belligerently, Whitey packs and goes along with him. "Hello, Mr. Boy. Fm Pee-ieee." Reaching Boys Town Whitey stares at the well- arranged buildings. Despite himself, he is impressed. Aloud, however, he expresses his opinions in terms of contempt. At the outer gate, a si.x-year-old little fellow greets him. He is Pee- wee (Bobs Watson) Father Flanagans pet. Whitey is scornful. Kids! Hell leave the first chance he gets.
