Barton-- I ' The Eaton radio compass, invention of Warren S. Eaton, was demonitfated recently at Van Nuys, Calif. It is primarily an automatic radiooperated 360-degree compass. When the radio set is tuned to a station the compass needle automatically indicates the direction of the received radio wave. The instrument is not affected by static. The compass demonstrated its ability to furnish information as follows: position relative to a map, other craft in vicinity, flight path and landing fields. It also gives direction of travel, drift angle and information necessary for landing. It Is claimed artillery fire can be controlled with the instrument, picture shows Warren S.

Clarcnc* Fraim, Wilmington, DiL, chairman, Department of Public Welfare, Amarlrae Fedaration el Women's CJnba, uaAt the praeawtttioa te W. A. Turner, left, and Fntekk Faetom. Milkmen heroes honored with _$ast«ur Medals, presented by the llilk Industry Foundation, for deeds Of valor on early morning rounds Were acclaimed at the national milk Conventions in Cleveland. W. A. Turner, Richmond, Va., received the gold Pasteur medal for - swimming flood waters with milk cans tied on his back to supply a boys' camp. Frederick Fenton, Long received the silver Pasteur tiedal for rescuing guests in a hotel re. Bronze medals were awarded •npo fourteen other milkmen. 5 v milk could be produced on the farm at less cost and sold more Cheaply, more of it would be used," said Prof. H. B. Ellenberger, University of Vermont, speaking at the meetings. "This would benefit the consumer, profits for the producer and distributor would be more secure. "It is unfair to compare a composite price," he said, "to the farmer '••.•iff 3 cents per quart to a retail price If 12 or 13 cents to the consumer and nply that the difference represents flic distributor's margin." . A forecast of improved sales in the milk industry for 1939 was made by R. C Fisher of Wtllesley Farms, Mass., president of the International Association of Milk Dealers. "Milk was the only major farm commodity which returned farmers more money during the first six months of 1938 than the same period in 1937," he said. American consumers enjoy the best and cheapest milk supply in the ; world, L. J. Taber, Master of the® National Grange told the conventions. "It is entirely possible to work.; out a standard of producer-distribu-~ tor relationships that will help agriculture and above all the consumer." A multiplicity of regulatory, pricefixing and cost-increasing legislation has swept through the milk industry with such force that much needed promotional work to increase consumption has been curtailed, said W. A. Wentworth, secretary of the Dairy Industry Committee. Frank F. Rennie, Jr., Richmond,, Va., was elected president of the International Association; A. G. Marcus, Pasadena, Calif., vice-presi^tr Replica of 200-inch 'Sky Mirroi£ W§MM§m -1 * This remarkable replica of the $15,000,000 Mt. Palomar, Calif., observatory and 200-inch "sky mirror," largest in the world, was exhibited recently in Los Angeles, whence it started on a world tour. The replica, which is one-twenty-fourth the size of the original dome, 14 stories high, reproduces faithfully every movement and function of the observatory. The huge telescope will be in operation next year. Samuel Orkin, who constructed the replica in collaboration with the Institute et T IS a source of great satisfaction to physicians who treated cases of Jasthma in the old days to learn that in most cases there is a definite ca\jse for these attacks and if the cause can be found and removed, the attacks can be prevented, or occur less often or in a less severe form. It is now known that one can inherit the tendency toward asthma or what is known as the asthma-hay fever-eczema complex. When the individual with this tendency comes in contact with certain substances-- pollen from plants, fur, feathers, house or other dust --an attack occurs. As these substances may be always or nearly always about,. the attacks occur - very often. •k. ^ v.. The first thought Dr. Barton in treatment now is to try to find just what pollen, dust, fur or feathers is causing the attacks. This is done by means of scratch tests in which the skin is scratched in a number of places and some of the suspected substance is rubbed into or applied to the scratched spots. If this causes a large red spot the $ize of a dime or nickel, it is evidence that the individual is sensitive to that particular substance. To remove this sensitiveness (desensitize) the individual is given small amounts of the siibstance by hypodermic injection or by mouth. The dose is gradually increased until he is able to withstand the ordinary amouht of the substance without having, an attack of asthma, hayfever or eczema. Breathing Exercises. Sometimes it is difficult to find the offending substance and yet the attacks must be prevented, or treatment given when they do occur. One form of treatment is the use of breathing exercises in which the patient tries to breathe out of his lungs every last ouhce of air. This gives good results. Physicians for a number of years have found the hypodermic injection of 5 to 15 drops of epinephrine (adrenalin) quite effective. The solution is l to 1,000. A more recent treatment and one which the patient can himself apply is to take two or three deep breaths of a stronger solution of adrenalin (1 to 100),. two or perhaps three times a day**-- - • • « Some People '•To Infection One of the strange occurrences in medicine is to see an individual with a number of decayed teeth and also with infection at the roots of his teeth, yet he is free from rheumatism or arthritis, while another individual, crippled with rheumatism, becomes free of pain and stiffness by the removal of a single tooth with just one of its roots infected. The explanation is that the individual with the decayed teeth and infected roots is either immune or proof against arthritis--his tissues just refuse to become infected--or 1 the organisms, despite their number, are not very virulent. ' Should this individual with the infected teeth (or tonsils, or sinuses) have a severe cold, an attack of influenza or any other infection that requires some of the body's fighting forces to overcome it then with much of his power of resistance being used to fight this cold, he may be stricken with rheumatism from the infected teeth, tonsils or sinuses. May Enter Blood Stream. Professor Myer Solis-Cohen, Philadelphia, in Medical World, says: "Focal infection (where the infection starts at one focus or point and causes trouble throughout the body) may exist for several or many years in a latent (quiet or harmless) form. Although this infection has caused trouble at its starting point (teeth, tonsils, sinuses) by overcoming the body's tissues at this point, the general resistance of the body is still maintained, so that the organisms escaping from this one starting place--teeth, tonsils, sinuses--into the blood are destroyed before they can do any harm. Eventually, however, particularly after an acute illness or some special strain, the patient's general resistance fails. The organisms then not only infect the nearby tissues but they and the poisons they manufacture may be carried by a part of the blood system (lymphatics) to still other tis-i sues. Now when these organises and their poison products enter the blood stream they may survive long enough to reach distant tissues and organs -- heart, knee joint, gall bladder -- whose local resistance happens to be lowered from any cause. The organisms multiply at this point and create toxins. "It is in this manner that most of the chronic diseases develop." £ Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service. TOPICS VOLO DUBBING TO KEEP GOMBS FROM FROST Operation Prevents Damage to the Birds. Bar O. T. Klein, Extension Poultry Husbandman, Massachusetts State College.-- WNU Service. Dubbing of the comb and wattles of chickens is a very easy way Of preventing injury from freezing. Dubbing is not a bloody and dangerous operation. The comb and wattles are removed with a pair of tin snips with rounding points when the birds are about 8 or 10 weeks old. There is usually so little bleeding that no precautions to stop it are necessary. Perclilbride of iron is a common remedy for stopping flow of blood on birds that give trouble. Dubbed birds should be yarded by themselves, but other extra care is seldom necessary. :^Yv: The dubbed birds are not particularly attractive, but 'this is no disadvantage for the production breeder interested in eggs and high hatches of salable chicks. The dubbed males stand up better in the breeding pen and are not affected by cold weather. With leghorns there is an advantage in dubbing both males and females. With heavy breeds this is not so necessary with the hens. In sections where dubbing is extensively followed there is a feeling that dubbed birds are more valuable as breeders, not only the first year but the second and third years. This seems entirely reasonable since the comb is a secondary sex organ and is generously supplied with blood. When this supply of blood is not needed by the comb it probably goes to the reproductive organs. Urged to Be Cautious In Feeding Live Stock . Proceed with caution this fall cattle and lamb feeders are advised by W. H. Peters, chief of the division of animal and poultry husbandry at University farm, St. Paul. An analysis of the situation, explains Peters, indicates a strong demand for feeder cattle and lambs, with no weak spot in sight. The | present feed supply is larger than ; last year's, and all feed prices arte ! a little lower. And while the market on grain-fat cattle and fed lambs is some lower than a year ago, it is in a fairly strong position compared to feeder animal cost and feed expense. Added to this is a prediction for stronger industrial activity through the winter and I spring months, with hope for a slightly larger outlet for quality meat. Many cattle and lambs will go to market from the range and pastures in a good grass-fat condition and will be taken by the packers at prices prohibitive to the feeder, says Peters. If thin enough, well-bred cattle and lambs of high grade are a good buy, but their price may be pushed too high as fall buying proceeds. No farmer should buy animals of feeder type unless he has feed suitable for fattening. More money is lost through trying to fatten high priced steers and lambs on cheap coarse feed than by any other practice in the feeding business. - Either buy concentrates to go with the coarse feed, or stay out of the business, he says.

The Pinochle Club gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank St. George Saturday evening, in honor of the latter's wedding anniversary. The evening was spent in playing cards. Refreshments were served at the close of the evening. -- SLOCUM'S LAKE Peters suggests that the farmer with a large supply of coarse feed and little grain buy ewes and raise lambs for next spring, or buy cows and raise calves. He might also buy young heifers or steers and not fatten them, but grow them to an increase in weight and age, thereby making a little money on the coarse feed.

Acquiring Freckles Most people acquire freckles after exposure to strong sunlight--on other faces the spots just grow. Redhaired persons are generally endowed with very fair skins, tend to freckle most easily. Marking Broody Hens As broody hens are not profitablie in the laying house, and as broodiness is hereditary, commercial breeders discard all hens that show any decided tendency in this direction. Their method of identifying these broody hens is quite simple. They Use colored celluloid leg bands, a different color for each month. Whenever a hen goes broody, she is banded with a ring showing the color used for the current month. Thus it is easy, not only to learn the number of times a hen has quit laying, but also to tell just when these gaps in production have occurred. This suppjietf'much needed information when the poultryman starts to cull his flock and to select breeding stock for the following year. Preserving Fence Posts The United States Forest service has developed a simple, cheap "tire tube" treatment to prevent or retard decay in fence posts. Zinc chloride is the chemical used as a preservative. The butts of fresh-cut posts are peeled for a foot or more. Then a section of an old inner tube is closely fitted over each peeled section and tied with strong cord. The zinc solution is poured into the open ends of the tube and left until it hts been absorbed. It displaces the sap; I M rs. John R.

Watch for such subjects when you are on a picture-taking jaunt, and you may be surprised at the things you find.

Observe reflections, too. Picture the upside-down reflection of a building in water. Turn the picture right side up. and the water ripples look like heat waves. Extreme angle shots of some* subjects, taken with camera pointed straight up or straight down, often produce weird effects. For e-tample, put the camera on the floor at the bottom! of a welllighted circular staircase and take a "straight:up" shot--with short tioM exposure if you have a slow camera, or a snapshot if your camera has a fast lens. The resulting picture be fantastic--but a good subject ftiir your album. Shadows often produce picture oddities. Shadows of bars at the aoo may put a striped coat on a lion. Curved surfaces, such as a chromium bowl or convex mirror, produce bddlv distorted reflections you cSh picture.
