Old-Timers Scoff Over Buffalo Hunt -fifty Sportsmen Will Get , „ Permits to Cut Herd. , PHOENIX, ARIZ.--Modern aportattlfen may get a big kick out of it, but Buffalo Bill Cody and other oldtime plainsmen would be amused if they could watch the way in which huff ale are "hunted" today. In Arizona, as in other parts of the Great Plains region, the thousands of buffalo which once roamed Ihe flatlands have been reduced to a few hundreds. Because of this the Arizona state game department each year selects a certain number • mt tiie animals--usually about 20-- that may be killed. Buffalo selected for the "hunt" are Old, ill-tempered bulls, barren or aged cows and pintos, the result of cross-breeding between buffalo and Hereford cattle which graze on the plains. This year, because of an Increase In the herd to about 250, 50 hunters will be allowed to "hunt" for the huge 2,000-pound animals. When the time for the "hunt" is at hand, cowboys separate the bison marked for death and the hunters than bang away at 25 yards until a vital spot is hit. A few old timers who remember buffalo hunts of the "good old days" :«neer at the new method and say It's about the stole as sh<k>ting a roped cow in the pasture in back the barn. , The state allows the sportsmen to fcaep the head, hide and one-quarter of the meat from the kill. The remaining portions are sold and the inroceeds used to maintain the herd. -Buffalo Bull Defies Wiles Of Policemen for Hours | PITTSBURGH. -- A 2,000-pound ^klffalo bull named Hitler, who for hours defied the efforts of 20 policemen to get him back into his South park enclosure from which he had escaped, was prodded back into captivity by means o* a truck. After cajolery, threats, a snowball barrage and the racket of a doz- -en automobile horns failed to induce him to return to his corral, officers finally urged htm into the park -enclosure with a truck, equipped with a snow plow. Stall at large was the boss bull, -Napoleon, but lids keepers did not -expect him to give any trouble. Hitler, Napoleon and two other buffalo bulls, maddened by the cold, had broken through a high wire fence* - France Grants Soldiers Extra Food Allowance PARIS.--The French government, which claims to have the best fed army in the world, has not forgotten Napoleon's slogan--"an army marches on its stomach." Every French soldier gets the following daily allotment: 14 ounces of meat; 3% ounces of dry vegetables; 2 ounces of sugar; 1% ounces of coffee; two ounces of bread,., and 114 pints of wine. In addition, every soldier gets six cents a day extra food allowance, which he may spend on fresh fruit, cheese and chocolate. ^ Gasoline in Water Well From Mysterious Source ARCH, N. M.--For the last few months W. F. Wade has brought up gasoline when he hauled the bucket from a water well at his store, but efforts to locate its source so far have failed. Refinery tests showed the gasoline film on the'*well-water to contain tetra-ethyl lead, > probably from a nearby gasoline pump, but the leak hasn't been discovered. Storage tanks and pipe fittings near the well have beenrdug up and subjected to air pressure tests without revealing the leak. Device Warns of Danger From Radium Exposure WASHINGTON.--The national bureau of standards has developed a device which flashes a warning to persons who are in danger of overexposure to radium rays. When exposure to radium radiation reaches the limit deemed safe by the bureau's experts the device flashes a red light and emits a buzz- I ing sound. The bureau pointed out that in hospitals where large quantities of radium are handled it is Important to protect the technicians from overexposure. Unarmed Boy Bags 'Possum ASHEVILLE, N. C.--Five-year-old Bobby Parker bags his game without dog or gun. He brought his father a funny-looking animal he said he had picked up while playing in a wooded spot near his home. The father, James Parker, a hunting enthusiast, informed his son he had caught a large opossum. . • • • Scorpion and Spider Stings Are Debunked By an Entomologist^/'/ By DR. FRANK THONEL F^AYETTEVILLE, ARlC ^ Scorpions and spiders come In for a drastic de-bunking at the hands of Prof. W. J. JBaerg, University of Arkansas entomologist. For all their dreadful reputation, there are no really deadly scorpions in the United States, and the only dangerously poisonous spider is the already notorious Black Widow. Scorpion stings, declares Professor Baerg, are no worse than those of wasps, and tarantula bites are about on a level with the jab of a dull pin. Scorpions are ready to sting on slight provocation. The effect is immediately painful, but passes in about half an hour. Tarantulas are not quite so aggressive, though if you really want one to bite you she will usually accommodate, upon sufficient provocation. But some tarantulas won't even do that. Professor Baerg mentions appreciatively a curly-haired Konduran tarantula that has never yet bitten him, despite all kinds of coaxing. He seems to be very fond of Curly, as he calls his pet. Tarantula Not So Bad. The Arkansas biologist is willing to venture one categorical statement with regard to tarantulas: "No tarantula has a poison that produces dangerous general symptoms in man. A few tarantulas are poisonous to man but the effect is local." Outside the United States, and confined to Mexico so far as now known, there are a very few species of scorpion whose sting may result in death. One of them, ironically enough, prefers to live in the neighborhood of human habitations. Since the development in Mexico of a serum treatment for scorpion sting, the number of cases ending fatally has been much reduced. Even the dreaded Black Widow, although admitted^ able to cause extreme pain and violent discomfort, rarely kills, says ProfvaDor Baerg. "The patient always recovers (excepting possibly infants) unless hampered by serious complications such as a very weak heart, or a syphilitic condition." fagaThre* 8PKHTG GROVE Dr. and Mrs. L. L.

Hot Asphalt Injections Cure for Rutted Roads WASHINGTON --The beauty of a tarred country road may be onljr skin deep and not too satisfactory at that, but engineers have devised a method of making it go much deeper than that. Promising an end to the rutted country roads of horse-and-buggy days, "injecting" hot asphalt beneath the surface of a dirt road to give it a water-repellant top that minds neither dust nor wet is the means they have worked out. Penetrating slowly and evefily to the top, "injected" asphalt serves as a dirt road binder capable of carrying light and intermediate traffic in jany kind of weather, they report. The asphalt is squirted into the roadbed about six inches below the surface. A machine resembling a grain drill, widely used for planting grain, does the job. Behind apparatus resembling a tractor is drawn a V-shaped row of long prongs, which loosen the roadway to a depth of about six inches. Behind each prong is a tube connected to an asphalt tank on the machine. As the prong loosens the dirt, the asphalt is shot from the tube into the furrow.

Developed by Heraclio Alfaro, the new engine is of the so-called "barrel" type. It is believed to be the first engine of this design able to meet performance requirements of the air commerce bureau. With its cylinders parallel to the crankshaft on which the propeller turns, instead of perpendicular to it as in radial and V-type engines, the "barrel" engine is one of the most compact ever designed. Its diameter, exclusive of small protruding parts which may possibly be eliminated in later models, is but 15 Vi inches. Delivered 6,DM Babies When Dr. Joseph C. E.

The new pulverizer will grind particles to a size finer than the finest sieves. Particles can be obtained, economically and on a commercial scale, which correspond to 2.500 theoretical mesh, or only 5 microns in size. A micron is the scientists' unit of length which equals A thousandth of a millimeter.
